Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

On June 9, 2015, ARC Document Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into amended and restated executive employment agreements (the “Employment Agreements”) with each of Messrs. Jorge Avalos (Chief Financial Officer), Rahul K. Roy (Chief Technology Officer) and Dilantha Wijesuriya (Chief Operating Officer) (each, the “Executive”).

Language was added to the Employment Agreements to ensure compliance with current guidance under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, and to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under such Section. Additionally, the Employment Agreements now expressly indicate the Executive’s acknowledgment and acceptance of the Company’s clawback right as to all incentive-based compensation pursuant to the Company’s Executive Compensation Recovery Policy. The Executive accordingly agrees that in the event that the Company is required to prepare restated financial results owing to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, the Company will recover or cancel any incentive-based compensation paid to the Executive during the 3-year period preceding the date as of which the Company is required to prepare the accounting restatement, to the extent that such compensation exceeds the amount that would have been paid to the Executive had it been based on the restated results, or will offset any compensation otherwise payable in the event that the Executive fails to repay any incentive-based compensation subject to forfeiture or clawback.

In addition, the Employment Agreements raise the cap on annual incentive bonuses to 150% of the Executive’s annual base salary from 80% of annual base salary, for Messrs. Avalos and Roy, and from 100% of annual base salary, for Mr. Wijesuriya.

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreements is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Employment Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3.
