Re: | | Notice of Special Blackout Period for Subordinate Voting Shares |
| | |
Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 prohibits directors and executive officers of Quebecor World Inc. (the "Company") from trading in the Subordinate Voting Shares (the "Shares") of the Company during any period in which employees are not able to purchase or sell interests in the Shares under the Quebecor World (USA) Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Plan"). This period is referred to as a "blackout period."
The purpose of this notice is to inform you of an upcoming blackout period that will occur due to the offer to purchase up to 10,000,000 Shares made by the Company pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and accompanying issuer bid circular dated April 24, 2003 (collectively, the "Offer").
The "blackout period" will begin on May 29, 2003 at 3:30 p.m. and end during the calendar week beginning on Sunday, June 8, 2003 and ending on Saturday, June 14, 2003. Information as to when the blackout period has ended during that week will be available at no charge by contacting the Trustee toll free at 1-877-975-3275.
During the blackout period participants in the Plan will be unable to direct or diversify the assets invested in the Quebecor World Stock Fund under their respective Plan accounts. As a result, with very limited exceptions, you may not trade in the Shares during the blackout period. If you want to learn more about the exceptions or if you have any other questions about this notice, please contact me at 514-877-5148.Please note that you may not make any trades in the Shares during the blackout period (including option exercises) without having consulted with me in advance.
