On July 28, 2017, LSC Communications, Inc. (the “Company”),acquired Fairrington Transportation Corp., F.T.C. Transport, Inc. and F.T.C. Services, Inc. (collectively, the “Fairrington Entities”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 28, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Fairrington, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Dispatch Merger Sub 1, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Dispatch Merger Sub 2, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Fairrington Entities and the Victor G. Warren Revocable Trust dated July 14, 1993 (the “Acquisition”). The consideration paid by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement consisted of an amount in cash (as adjusted for customary purchase price adjustments, including outstanding indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses) and 964,319 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company.

The stock portion of the consideration was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and was not registered under any state securities laws. The Company relied on representations to support such exemption, including with respect to each of the shareholder’s status as an “accredited investor” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act), their acquisition of the shares of Company common stock for purposes of investment and not resale, and their ability to bear the entire loss of their investment.

In connection with the issuance of common stock in the Acquisition, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement providing, among other things, that the Company would in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to register the shares of common stock so issued within 30 days after the Company becomes eligible to register shares on a Form S-3 Registration Statement, subject to certain exceptions.
