Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 29, 2016, R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (“RR Donnelley”) announced further details regarding its management team to be effective upon the consummation of the previously announced spinoff transactions of LSC Communications, Inc. and Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc., which RR Donnelley expects to complete in October 2016.

Terry D. Peterson is expected to be appointed as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of RR Donnelley upon consummation of the spinoff transactions. Set forth below is a biography of Terry D. Peterson:

Terry D. Peterson (52) will be the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Prior to this, Mr. Peterson had served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Deluxe Corporation since 2009; Vice President, Investor Relations and Chief Accounting Officer at Deluxe from 2006 to 2009; Controller and Chief Accounting Officer at Deluxe Corporation from 2005 to 2006; and Director of Internal Audit at Deluxe Corporation from 2004 to 2005. Prior to Deluxe Corporation, Mr. Peterson held various finance and audit roles at Ecolab Inc., Provell Inc., Jostens Inc. and PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Until the spinoff transactions are complete, the current management team of RR Donnelley will remain in place. The spinoff transactions are subject to certain conditions, including, among others, obtaining final approval from the Board of Directors of RR Donnelley, receipt of a favorable opinion with respect to the tax-free nature of the transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the effectiveness of the Form 10 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
