Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On May 8, 2014, Mr. John W. Gamble, Jr. announced his resignation as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Lexmark International, Inc. (the “Company”), effective May 20, 2014.  The Company has accepted Mr. Gamble’s resignation and appointed Gary D. Stromquist as interim Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  As interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Stromquist will become the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, roles currently held by Mr. Gamble.

Mr. Gamble intends to pursue other professional opportunities and the Company wishes him well in his new endeavors.  In connection with his resignation, Mr. Gamble acknowledged that his resignation did not result from any disagreement regarding the Company’s financial reporting or accounting policies, procedures, estimates or judgments.  During Mr. Gamble’s nearly nine years at the Company, he has played an instrumental role in the Company’s transformation from hardware to an end-to-end solutions provider and the Company greatly appreciates his leadership during that process.

Mr. Stromquist has been with Lexmark since its inception and has served as the Company’s Vice President of Imaging Solutions and Services and Corporate Finance since June 2009.  From July 2001 to June 2009, Mr. Stromquist served as Vice President and Corporate Controller of the Company.  Prior to such time, Mr. Stromquist served as a Vice President of OEM and alliances and Vice President of the Company’s former Consumer Printer Division.  He began his career with IBM, holding various accounting and financial staff and management positions.  Mr. Stromquist holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Kentucky and a master’s in business administration from Xavier University.
