Item 8.01.  Other Events.
 
On January 7, 2014, Lexmark International, Inc. (the “Company” or “Lexmark”) issued a press release announcing that its fourth quarter and full year 2013 financial results will include a change in accounting method for pension and other postretirement benefit plans as well as an increased contingency accrual for a litigation matter.  The new accounting method was adopted in the fourth quarter of 2013 and applied retrospectively.  The combined adjustments resulting from this new accounting method and additional legal contingency accrual were not reflected in the Company’s October 2013 guidance.  As compared to the Company’s October 2013 guidance, the combined new accounting method and legal contingency adjustments would have decreased fourth quarter 2013 GAAP and non-GAAP EPS guidance by $0.03 and increased full year 2013 GAAP and non-GAAP EPS guidance by $0.21.
 
This filing may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding future events and the future financial performance of Lexmark that involve risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual future events or results due to a variety of factors, including: changes in provision for income taxes or adverse outcomes resulting from examinations of our income tax returns; litigation; risks related to the global nature of our operations and other international factors; and other factors listed in Lexmark’s most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. The financial information contained in this filing should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Lexmark’s most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, as each may be amended from time to time. Any projections in this filing are based on limited information currently available to Lexmark, which is subject to change. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.

The text of the press release announcing the adjustments to the Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2013 financial results is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
