Use of Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the safe harbor created by, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the business, strategy and plans of RR Donnelley and Consolidated Graphics, their expectations relating to the proposed transaction and their future financial condition and performance, including estimated synergies. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about RR Donnelley or Consolidated Graphics managements’ beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “expects”, “intends”, “aims”, “potential”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “considered”, “likely”, “estimate” and variations of these words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. While RR Donnelley and Consolidated Graphics believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond RR Donnelley’s or Consolidated Graphics’ control. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from RR Donnelley’s and Consolidated Graphics’ current expectations depending upon a number of factors affecting their businesses and risks associated with the successful execution and integration of the proposed transaction and the performance of their businesses following such transaction. These factors include, among others, the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections; the volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and adverse changes in the global economy; factors that affect customer demand, including changes in postal rates and postal regulations, changes in the capital markets, changes in advertising markets, the rate of migration from paper-based forms to digital format, customers’ budgetary constraints and customers’ changes in short-range and long-range plans; customers’ financial strength; shortages or changes in availability, or increases in costs of, key materials (such as ink, paper and fuel); changes in tax laws or interpretations that could increase RR Donnelley’s consolidated tax liabilities; the reliability of the participants to RR Donnelley’s lending agreements; competitive pressures in all markets in which RR Donnelley operates; successful completion of the proposed transaction, the ability to implement plans for the integration of the proposed transaction, including with respect to sales forces, cost containment, asset rationalization and other key strategies and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of the proposed transaction, the receipt of approvals for the proposed transaction, and such other risks and uncertainties detailed in RR Donnelley’s and Consolidated Graphics’ periodic public filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those discussed under “Risk Factors” in RR Donnelley’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and in Consolidated Graphics’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, in RR Donnelley’s and Consolidated Graphics’ subsequent filings with the SEC and in other investor communications of RR Donnelley and Consolidated Graphics from time to time. RR Donnelley and Consolidated Graphics do not undertake to and specifically decline any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
