Use of Forward-Looking Statements

This filing 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, including with respect to the business, strategy and plans of RR Donnelley and Courier, 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 Courier 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 Courier 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 Courier's 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 Courier's 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, successful completion of the proposed transaction, the ability to implement plans for the integration of the proposed transaction and the receipt of required approvals for the proposed transaction, and such other risks and uncertainties detailed in RRD's and Courier's respective periodic public filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those discussed (i) under "Risk Factors" in RRD's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, in RRD's subsequent filings with the SEC and in other investor communications of RRD from time to time and (ii) under "Risk Factors" in Courier's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014 and in Courier's subsequent filings with the SEC and in other investor communications of Courier from time to time. RR Donnelley and Courier 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.
