On page 1 of MeadWestvaco Corporation’s Proxy Statement under the heading “What constitutes a quorum?,” the number of shares of MeadWestvaco common stock reported as outstanding on the record date, and consequently the number of votes required to establish a quorum, was incorrect due to a clerical error. As of March 1, 2011, 169,174,822 shares of MeadWestvaco common stock, representing the same number of votes, were outstanding (rather than 169,643,909 shares as reported). Therefore, the presence, in person or by proxy, at MeadWestvaco’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the holders of record of MeadWestvaco common stock representing at least 84,587,412 votes will be required to establish a quorum. These corrections do not affect any other portion of the Proxy Statement, including the percentages reported under the headings “Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers” and “Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners,” which appear on pages 4 and 5 of the Proxy Statement, respectively.
