(1)		As part of the inclusion of the Mead C&OP Business financial results with those of ACCO Brands Corporation, certain information technology costs associated with the manufacturing and distribution operations have been reclassified from advertising, selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) to cost of products sold. This was done to enable the financial results of the two businesses to be consistent and to better reflect those costs associated with the cost of products sold. These historical reclassifications were not material and have had no effect on net income.

(2)		Certain reclassifications have been made to the presentation of the statements of operations for the Mead C&OP Business in order to conform to the presentation of ACCO Brands Corporation. These historical reclassifications have had no effect on net income.

	(e)	Reflects reversal of interest expense and debt issuance amortization related to pre-existing debt for ACCO Brands.

	(f)	Represents estimated annual interest expense of $66.3 million based on current LIBOR rates and recognized on the initial debt structure of the combined company totaling $1.27 billion.

	(g)	Reflects the net adjustment of the amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs of which for the first year post acquisition is expected to be $6.5 million. The amortization amounts per year are weighted in accordance with the expected level of debt outstanding.

	(h)	Represents the reversal of $14.9 million in committed financing and other debt refinancing costs.

	(i)	Represents the reversal of $45.9 million in premium and fees paid for the redemption of pre-existing debt and the write-off of debt origination costs of $15.4 million related to the refinancing.

	(j)	Represents the reversal of income tax valuation reserves that were established during the 2011 and 2012 years for the Company's U.S. operations, as these tax assets are expected to be fully utilized, at a future date, as a result of the business combination.

	(k)	Basic shares represent the number of weighted average shares outstanding for the Company, divided by 49.5% of total shares that were owned by the Company's stockholders immediately following the Merger.

	(l)	Dilutive shares are the sum of basic shares plus the number of the Company's dilutive shares and reflects the adjustment to reported dilutive shares for the release of the U.S. tax valuation allowance.

	(m)	Reflects the adjustment related to the acquisition step-up in value of finished goods inventory. See note 3(a).

	(n)	Represents the adjustment related to LIFO expense/income (which will not continue after the Merger as the Mead C&OP Business has adopted ACCO Brands' policy of inventory valuation using the FIFO method).
