The webcast will be archived and available online for one year following the conference and will be posted on the “Presentations” page located within the “Investors” section of the OfficeMax website.  The information included in Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01, and is deemed to be furnished, not filed, pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K.

Certain statements made in the attached slides and orally at the conference made by or on behalf of the company constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the company’s future performance, as well as management’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future.  Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable.  However, the company cannot guarantee that the macroeconomy will perform within the assumptions underlying our projected outlook, or that its actual results will be consistent with the forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on them.  These statements are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date they are made.  The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. Important factors regarding the company that may cause results to differ from expectations are included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2009, under Item 1A “Risk Factors”, and in the company’s other filings with the SEC.
