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 (see General Instruction A.2. below):

One of the named executive officers of Xerox Corporation (“Xerox”), Robert K. Zapfel, Executive Vice President, will cease active employment with Xerox effective December 31, 2016 in connection with organizational changes relating to the separation of Xerox into two separate, publicly traded companies.

On December 23, 2016, Xerox filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation with the New York Department of State establishing the terms of a new series of Xerox preferred stock designated as Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Xerox Series B Preferred Stock”). A copy of Xerox’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”), as amended through December 23, 2016, including by the Certificate of Amendment, is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cash dividends will be payable quarterly on the Xerox Series B Preferred Stock when, as and if declared by the board of directors, out of any funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a cumulative basis, at a rate per year equal to 8.0% of the liquidation preference. If Xerox does not pay dividends in full on any dividend payment date, cash dividends will be payable, on a cumulative basis, at a rate per year equal to 8.0% of the sum of the liquidation preference and the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends as of the most recent dividend payment date. In addition, if Xerox does not pay dividends in full on any dividend payment date, the ability of Xerox to declare or pay dividends on, or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire its common stock or any preferred stock ranking on a parity with or junior to the Xerox Series B Preferred Stock, will be subject to certain restrictions.

Each share of Xerox Series B Preferred Stock may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into 149.8127 shares of Xerox common stock (which reflects an initial conversion price of approximately $6.6750 per share of common stock), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Under certain circumstances, the holder will also have the right to convert each share of Xerox Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Xerox common stock at an increased conversion rate. In addition, Xerox will have the right, at its option, to cause any or all of the Xerox Series B Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of Xerox common stock at the then applicable conversion rate if the closing price of Xerox common stock exceeds a certain threshold for 20 trading days over a 30-day trading period, as specified in the Restated Certificate.

Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental change events, the holder of Xerox Series B Preferred Stock has the right to require Xerox to redeem any or all of the Xerox Series B Preferred Stock in cash at a redemption price per share equal to the liquidation preference and any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including the redemption date. At any time on or following the fifth anniversary of a transfer by the holder of the Xerox Series B Preferred Stock to a person other than a permitted transferee, Xerox has the option to redeem any or all of such transferred shares of Xerox Series B Preferred Stock in cash at a redemption price per share equal to the fair market value of such shares and any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including the redemption date.

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the terms of the Xerox Series B Preferred Stock, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restated Certificate.
