Item 4.	Ownership
		See Rows 5 through 9 and 11 on page 2 of this Schedule 13G.
On or about October 17, 2003, David M. Knott received a Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights Available to Former Stockholders of Applied Graphics Technologies, Inc., dated October 17, 2003, from Applied Graphics Technologies, Inc., notifying David M. Knott as follows:
Pursuant to Sections 251 and 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the merger (the “Merger”) of KAGT Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), with and into Applied Graphics Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or, with respect to the period following the Merger, the “Surviving Corporation”), became effective pursuant to Section 251 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware upon the filing by the Purchaser on October 10, 2003 (the “Effective Time”) of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Purchaser is a wholly owned subsidiary of KAGT Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 12, 2003 (the “Merger Agreement”) among Purchaser, Parent and the Company, as a result of the Merger, all of the issued shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (other than shares owned directly or indirectly by Parent or the Company and shares owned by stockholders, if any, who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) (the “Shares”) have been converted into the right to receive $0.85 in cash per Share, without interest, upon surrender of the certificate for such Shares to The Bank of New York, as Paying Agent. All of the outstanding Shares have been automatically canceled as a result and by virtue of the Merger, and holders of Shares no longer have any rights with respect to such Shares other than (i) a right as former stockholders of the Company to receive $0.85 for each Share, or (ii) right to an appraisal of the fair value of such Shares if such stockholder has complied with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

David M. Knott elected to exercise his right to an appraisal of the fair value of his Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Section 262”). Pursuant to subsection (k) of Section 262, the Reporting Person is not entitled to vote its Shares for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such Shares. However, it is the view of the Reporting Person that the language of such subsection suggests that such Shares remain outstanding.
