PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Lexmark International, Inc. (the “Company”) to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company on Thursday, April 26, 2012, to be held at 7:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 1801 Newtown Pike, Lexington, Kentucky 40511. We are mailing our stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting the Notice or, for stockholders who have already requested printed materials, this Proxy Statement, our 2011 Annual Report and a form of proxy, beginning on or about March 15, 2012.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of such date, there were 71,163,539 shares (excluding shares held in treasury) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued and outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote.

Voting of Proxies

Giving a proxy means that you authorize the persons named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in the manner directed. You may vote by proxy or in person at the meeting. To vote by proxy, you may use one of the following methods if you are a registered holder (that is, you hold our stock in your own name):

• By Internet — You can vote over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com by entering the control number found on your Notice or proxy card;

• By Telephone — You can vote by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and entering the control number found on your Notice or proxy card; or

• By Mail — If you received your proxy materials by mail, you can vote by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card in the pre-paid enclosed envelope.

We request that stockholders vote as soon as possible. When the proxy is properly returned, the shares of stock represented by the proxy will be voted at the 2012 Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy. Any signed proxy returned without specification as to any matter will be voted as to each proposal in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors.

Revocability of Proxies and Changes to a Stockholder’s Vote

A stockholder has the power to revoke his or her proxy or change his or her vote at any time before the proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. You can revoke your proxy or change your vote in one of four ways:

• by sending a signed notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company to revoke your proxy;

• by sending to the Secretary of the Company a completed proxy card bearing a later date than your original proxy indicating the change in your vote;

• by logging on to www.proxyvote.com in the same manner you would to submit your proxy electronically or calling 1-800-690-6903, and in each case following the instructions to revoke or change your vote; or

• by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person, which will automatically cancel any proxy previously given, or by revoking your proxy in person, but attendance alone will not revoke any proxy that you have given previously.

If you choose any of the first three methods, you must take the described action no later than the beginning of the 2012 Annual Meeting. Once voting on a particular matter is completed at the Annual Meeting, you will not be able to revoke your proxy or change your vote as to that matter. If your shares are held in street name by a broker, bank or other financial institution, you must contact that institution to change your vote.

Voting by Our Employees Participating in the Lexmark Savings Plan

If you are an employee or former employee of Lexmark who has a right to vote shares acquired through your participation in the Lexmark Savings Plan, a tax-qualified 401(k) plan, you are entitled to instruct the trustee, Fidelity Management Trust Company, how to vote the shares allocated to your account. The trustee will vote those shares as you instruct. You will receive voting information that covers any shares held in your account, as well as any other shares registered in your name. To allow sufficient time for the trustee to vote, your voting instructions must be received by the trustee by April 23, 2012.

Votes Required

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting and the inspector will determine whether a quorum is present. Votes may be cast “for” or “against” each respective nominee for Director or you may abstain from voting for one or more nominees for Director. The Directors to be elected at the meeting will be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to approve the Company’s proposals other than the election of directors.

Abstentions may be specified on all proposals submitted to a stockholder vote, including the election of Directors. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the meeting. Abstentions will have no effect on the election of Directors because abstentions are not considered a vote cast. Abstentions on proposals other than the election of Directors will have the effect of a vote against such proposals.

A broker non-vote occurs under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange when a broker is not permitted to vote on certain non-routine matters without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and no instruction is given. Broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. In tabulating the voting results for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered entitled to vote on that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the meeting, assuming that a quorum is obtained.

Delivery of Proxy Materials to Households Where Two or More Stockholders Reside

Rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission allow us to deliver multiple Notices in a single envelope or a single copy of an Annual Report and Proxy Statement to any household where two or more stockholders reside if we believe the stockholders are members of the same family. This rule benefits stockholders by reducing the volume of duplicate information they receive at their households. It also benefits us by reducing our printing and mailing costs.

We are mailing Notices in a single envelope, or a single set of proxy materials, as applicable, to each household this year unless the stockholders in these households provided instructions to the contrary in response to a notice previously mailed to them. However, for stockholders who previously requested a printed set of the proxy materials, we are mailing each stockholder in a single household a separate proxy card or voting instruction form. If you prefer to receive your own copy of the proxy materials for this or future Annual Meetings and you are a registered holder, you may request a duplicate set at no cost to you by writing to Lexmark International, Inc., Attention: Investor Relations, One Lexmark Centre Drive, Lexington, Kentucky 40550 or by calling (859) 232-5568, and we will promptly furnish such materials. If a broker or other nominee holds your shares, you may instruct your broker to send duplicate mailings by following the instructions on your voting instruction form or by contacting your broker.

2

If you hold some shares as a registered holder or through the Lexmark Savings Plan, and other shares in the name of a broker or other nominee, we must send you proxy materials for each account. To avoid receiving duplicate sets of proxy materials, you may consolidate accounts or consent to electronic delivery as described in the following section.

Electronic Delivery of the Proxy Materials

We are able to distribute the Annual Report and Proxy Statement to stockholders in a fast and efficient manner via the Internet. This reduces the amount of paper delivered to a stockholder’s address and eliminates the cost of sending these documents by mail. You may elect to view all future Annual Reports and Proxy Statements on the Internet instead of receiving them by mail.

Alternatively, you may elect to receive all future Annual Reports and Proxy Statements by mail instead of viewing them via the Internet. To make an election, please log on to www.proxyvote.com and enter your control number.

Composition of Board and Committees

The Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation divides the Board of Directors into three classes. Of the current twelve members of the Board of Directors, five have been elected as Class III Directors, three have been elected as Class I Directors, and four have been elected as Class II Directors with terms expiring at the time of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2012, 2013, and 2014 respectively. At each succeeding Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the respective successors of the Directors whose terms are expiring shall be elected for terms expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in the third succeeding year. As discussed above, Mr. Dunbar has been nominated as a Class I Director to resolve an imbalance of the classes of Directors. Directors may only be removed from the Board for cause.

The Board of Directors held seven meetings during 2011. All incumbent members of the Board attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and committees of the Board on which they served. While the Company does not have a formal policy regarding the attendance of Directors at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, all Directors are strongly urged to attend. All members of the Board of Directors who were serving as Directors at the time of last year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders attended the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors has adopted the stated requirements for independence under Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange as categorical standards for determining the independence of individual directors in accordance with guidance received from the New York Stock Exchange, and the Board has determined that all of the Board members, with the exception of Mr. Rooke, are independent on the basis of these requirements. In making its independence determinations, the Board of Directors has considered transactions occurring in each of the preceding three years between the Company and entities associated with the independent directors or their immediate family members. Mr. Montupet and Mr. Coleman are each executive officers at companies which the Company enters into transactions for the purchase and sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of business with Emerson Electric Company, a company in which Mr. Montupet serves an executive officer, and Unisys Corporation, a company in which Mr. Coleman serves as an executive officer. The amount the Company paid in each of the last three fiscal years to each of these companies, and the amount received by the Company in each of the last three fiscal years from each of these companies, did not, in any of the previous three fiscal years, exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues. In 2011, the Company purchased less than $100,000 of products and services from Emerson Electric Company. In 2011, the Company purchased approximately $2 million of products and services from Unisys Corporation, a company with $3.85 billion in revenue for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, and Unisys Corporation purchased less than $25,000 in products and services from the Company. All such transactions were made at arms-length, included standard commercial terms, and Mr. Montupet and Mr. Coleman did not personally benefit from any of such transactions. In all instances, the total amount of the transactions represented significantly less than 2% of the Company’s and the other entity’s revenues for the most recent fiscal year. Additionally, the Company has not made any charitable contributions within any of the preceding three years that would exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of a charitable organization’s consolidated gross revenues to any charitable organization for which a member of the Board of Directors served as an executive officer of the charitable organization.

The Board has four standing committees: an Executive Committee, a Finance and Audit Committee, a Compensation and Pension Committee and a Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee. Each committee has adopted a written charter, which are available on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s Investor Relations website at http://investor.lexmark.com. The following chart reflects current committee memberships and the number of meetings held by each committee during 2011.

(4) Mr. Dunbar joined the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee upon his election to the Board on April 28, 2011. Dr. Cohon served on the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee from January 1, 2011 through April 27, 2011.

The Executive Committee is responsible for exercising all of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors during intervals between Board meetings, except for those powers delegated to the other committees of the Board and the powers which pursuant to Delaware law may not be delegated to a committee of the Board.

The Board of Directors has established the Finance and Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Finance and Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things, assisting the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the systems of internal controls established by management, the integrity and transparency of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements with respect to audit, financial and accounting matters, the Company’s policies related to risk assessment and risk

11

management, the Independent Auditors’ qualifications and independence, the performance of the Independent Auditors’ and the Company’s internal audit functions, and the Company’s financial strategy and policies, capital structure, share repurchase and dividend policy and capital expenditures. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Finance and Audit Committee is “independent” and “financially literate” as defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The Board of Directors has also determined that each member of the Finance and Audit Committee is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by the applicable rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Directors does not limit the number of other public company audit committees on which members of its Finance and Audit Committee may serve. However, no member of the Finance and Audit Committee is currently serving on more than two other public company audit committees.

The Compensation and Pension Committee is responsible for assuring that the Company has a competitive executive compensation program in order to attract and retain qualified executives and to provide incentives to management of the Company for the attainment of the Company’s goals and objectives. The Compensation and Pension Committee is also responsible for periodically reviewing and approving the Company’s retirement and stock incentive plans. Each member of the Committee is independent as defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

The Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee is responsible for providing counsel to the Board with respect to corporate governance issues, including Board and committee organization, membership and function, and acting in an advisory capacity to the Board and the Company’s management on public policy issues. The Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee is also responsible for the nomination of persons for election to the Board. Each member of the Committee is independent as defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

Nomination of Directors

The Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee does not set specific, minimum qualifications (including specific requirements for diversity) that nominees must meet in order for the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee to recommend them to the Board of Directors for election, but rather believes that each nominee should be evaluated based on his or her individual merits, taking into account the needs and composition of the Board at the time. The Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee considers candidates for election who would bring a wide range of attributes to the Board. The general criteria that the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee looks for in candidates is a person of high integrity with: (i) broad general management experience in a significant organization; (ii) experience with major management, technical, operational, marketing or financial issues; (iii) diversity of background and thought, or experience in areas of special interest to the Company, such as brand development or technology; (iv) strong track record of success; (v) strong international experience; (vi) board experience at other international companies; (vii) ample time to devote to Board duties; and (viii) ability and desire to serve multiple terms as a Board member. With respect to diversity, the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee believes that a Director nominee with a diverse background, professional experience, education, skill, and differences of viewpoint fulfills that specific attribute and contributes to a heterogeneous Board. In the past, the Committee has identified director nominees from various sources, including officers, directors and professional search consultants, but the Committee will also consider nominees recommended by stockholders. The Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee applies the same evaluation for nominees for director whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder or other source.

The Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee has retained SpencerStuart, a third party search firm, to assist the Committee in identifying and evaluating candidates for Board membership who best match the director recruitment criteria described above. SpencerStuart has played an important role in identifying many of the Company’s most recent independent directors for Board membership.

Stockholders wishing to recommend a director candidate for consideration by the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee may do so by complying with the procedures and providing the information required by the Company’s By-Laws.

Corporate Governance Matters

The Company has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers (including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer) and employees, known as the Code of Business Conduct. The Code of Business Conduct, as well as the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles, Related Person Transaction Policy and the charters of each of the committees of the Board of Directors are available on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s Investor Relations website at http://investor.lexmark.com. The Company also intends to disclose on the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations website any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and any waivers from the provisions of the Code of Business Conduct that apply to the principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer and that relate to any elements of the code of ethics enumerated by the applicable regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K).

Related Person Transactions

On the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee, the Board of Directors has adopted a written Related Person Transaction Policy for the purpose of identifying potential conflicts of interest arising out of a related person transaction between the Company and any related person. Under the Policy, a related person is a Director, nominee for election as a Director, executive officer, beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock or any immediate family member of the foregoing persons. A related person transaction under the Policy is any transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in excess of $120,000 in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party and in which the related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

The Company reviews all transactions, arrangements or relationships between the Company and related persons in excess of $120,000 to determine whether such transactions are permissible under the Policy and, if permissible, whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest in a transaction that are required to be disclosed by the Company in the Company’s proxy statement. Under the Policy, certain transactions have been pre-approved, as not constituting related person transactions, including, among other transactions, compensation paid to Directors and executive officers in the ordinary course of performing their duties; transactions in the ordinary course of business with another company where a Director is an employee or serves a director, the Director is not involved in the negotiations of the terms of the transaction and the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of the other company’s gross revenues; and charitable contributions to a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a related person’s only relationship is an employee (other than an executive officer), or a director or trustee and the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the lesser of $1 million or 2% of the charitable organization’s total annual receipts.

Each Director and executive officer is required to complete a questionnaire on an annual basis which requires them to disclose any potential related person transactions with the Company. In addition, under the Policy, each Director and executive officer has a continuing obligation to notify the Corporate Secretary of any potential related person transactions with the Company. With respect to any potential related person transaction reported to the Corporate Secretary, the Corporate Secretary will determine whether the transaction is pre-approved under the Policy, and if is not pre-approved, will present the transaction for approval to the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee at its next meeting, or to the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee, when it is not practicable to wait until the next meeting. The Corporate Governance and Public Policy, or the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee, as applicable, will review the material facts and circumstances of each related person transaction and determine whether to approve, ratify or reject the entry into such transaction. Related person transactions may only be approved if, based on the information presented, the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee determines that the transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

As part of its annual independence assessment and review of related person transactions, the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee reviewed the transactions between the Company and certain entities in which some of our Directors serve as executive officers or directors, as described more fully above, and determined that the amounts involved in such transactions are not material to the Company nor to the entities

13

involved in the transactions. Consequently, there were no transactions between the Company and any related person in 2011 that were required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, nor are there any currently proposed.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Compensation and Pension Committee has served as an officer or employee of the Company at any time. No executive officer of the Company serves as a member of the compensation committee or on the board of directors of any company at which a member of the Compensation and Pension Committee or Board of Directors serves as an executive officer.

Leadership Structure

As part of its review of the Company’s overall corporate governance practices, the Board of Directors periodically reviews its leadership structure. Currently, the Board believes that the most effective leadership structure for the Company is for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Dr. Curlander served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from April 1999 to October 2010. As part of the Company’s succession planning process and to allow for an orderly transition, Dr. Curlander continued to serve as Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board when Mr. Rooke assumed the role of President and Chief Executive Officer in October 2010. At its February 2011 meeting, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Rooke as the Company’s Chairman, effective as of April 28, 2011. The Board combined the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer role in 1999 to provide strong leadership and a unified voice for the Company’s management and the Board. The Board has been satisfied with the combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and believes it has served the Company’s stockholders well. This leadership structure allows the Chief Executive Officer to establish a Board agenda, with Board input, which focuses on the Company’s strategic challenges, ensures the Board is presented with the necessary information required to fulfill its responsibilities, and allows for productive and effective Board meetings.

Except for Mr. Rooke, the Board is completely comprised of independent Directors who bring a broad range of leadership experience to the Board and regularly contribute to the thoughtful discussion involved in effectively overseeing the business and affairs of the Company. Collegial, yet rigorous, debate at Board meetings is common. Also, the Finance and Audit Committee, the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee and the Compensation and Pension Committee are comprised solely of independent Directors and each with a separate independent chair. These Committees perform important roles for the Company as explained in the “Composition of Board and Committees” section. The independent Directors also meet in executive session at each regularly scheduled meeting to voice their observations and to shape future Board agendas. Immediately following each session, the Presiding Director notifies the Chairman of the Board of the independent Directors’ assessment of the meeting and any desired agenda items for future meetings. Thus, the Board has the opportunity to take up issues it believes are important.

When the Chairman of the Board is not an independent Director, the Board also elects a single Presiding Director from the current independent Directors with such duties and for such term as the Board may determine from time to time. At each regularly-scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors, the independent Directors meet in executive session, at which only independent Directors are present. The Presiding Director serves as chairman of those meetings and presides over any meeting of the Board when the Chairman of the Board is not present. In addition, the Presiding Director consults with the Chairman of the Board to plan and set the agenda for meetings of the Board of Directors and serves as the point of contact for members of the Board of Directors to raise issues not readily addressable directly to the Chairman. The Presiding Director also performs such other functions and responsibilities as required by the Board of Directors from time to time. Based on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee, Mr. Montupet was elected as the Presiding Director at the February 2010 meeting and assumed that position at the April 2010 meeting and will continue to serve in that role until the 2012 Annual Meeting. At its February 2012 meeting, the Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee, reelected Mr. Montupet to serve as the Presiding Director for a two year term, commencing on the date of the 2012 Annual Meeting.

14

The Board believes that the leadership structure in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as Chairman of the Board, the vast majority of the Board is comprised of independent Directors, the Board Committees described above are led by independent Directors, the Company has a Presiding Director with known responsibilities, and the independent Directors hold regular meetings in executive session, remains the optimal leadership structure for the Company and the Company’s stockholders.

Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate directly with the Presiding Director, non-management Directors as a group or any member of the Board of Directors through the Corporate Secretary by writing to him at Lexmark International, Inc., 740 West New Circle Road, Lexington, Kentucky 40550. The Corporate Secretary will review all communications and forward appropriate correspondence to the proper Board member or members.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Company’s Board of Directors administers its risk oversight function directly and through both its Finance and Audit Committee and Compensation and Pension Committee. The Finance and Audit Committee has oversight responsibility with respect to the Company’s financial risk assessment and financial risk management. The Finance and Audit Committee meets regularly with management to review the Company’s risk exposures, the potential financial impact those risks may have on the Company, the steps management takes to address those risks, and how management monitors emerging risks. With respect to the Company’s compensation plans and programs, the Compensation and Pension Committee structures such plans and programs to balance risk and reward, while mitigating the incentive for excessive risk taking by the Company’s officers and employees, as discussed in the “Risk Assessment” section of the “Compensation Discussion & Analysis.” The full Board of Directors has oversight responsibility of enterprise risk management and periodically has management review the Company’s major enterprise risk exposures, the potential financial or other impact on the Company, and the process for managing such risks.

Political Contribution Policy

In order to provide greater transparency to our stockholders regarding the Company’s involvement in political contributions and to ensure Board-level oversight, the Board of Directors has adopted a political contribution policy. Under this policy, the Company will not make contributions of any kind (money, employee time, goods or services) to political parties or candidates, political committees, including political committees organized under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code, or in support of or against ballot measures. This policy applies equally in all countries and all levels of government, even where such contributions are permitted by law. The Company’s political contribution policy is available on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s Investor Relations website at http://investor.lexmark.com.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Compensation Governance

The Compensation and Pension Committee is responsible for setting and administering the policies governing all compensation components, including base salary, incentive compensation, equity-based compensation and other long-term incentive compensation for the Company’s executive officers, including the CEO and other key members of management. The Compensation and Pension Committee determines the type, structure and amount of each compensation component awarded under the Company’s compensation plans. They are responsible for approving payments under the compensation plans and making a recommendation to the Board of Directors to approve base salary increases for Section 16 Officers. The process by which the Compensation and Pension Committee fulfills these responsibilities is detailed in the discussion that follows.

2011 Executive Summary

2011 financial performance.

• Despite a challenging global economic environment, we achieved solid financial performance during 2011. The key results of the year are summarized below (shown in millions except share price):

	2011		2010		2009
GAAP Revenue	$	4,173	$	4,200	$	3,880
GAAP Operating Income	$	443	$	447	$	216
Free Cash Flow*	$	235	$	359	$	160
Stock Price (12/31)	$	33.07	$	34.82	$	25.98

* Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash flows provided by operating activities minus purchases of property, plant & equipment. Refer to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 on Page 71 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 for the amounts underlying the Free Cash Flow calculations.

• We continued to see revenue growth in our strategic focus areas. We delivered record laser supplies revenue, record gross profit margin and a strong operating income margin.

• We improved our already strong financial position with $391 million in net cash from operations in 2011, and ended the year with over $1.1 billion in cash and current marketable securities.

• We continue to aggressively grow our software business. We have expanded Perceptive Software’s international footprint, including our October 2011 acquisition of the Netherlands-based Pallas Athena, a leading provider of business process management, document output management and process mining software.

• We announced a new capital allocation plan to return, on average, more than 50% of our free cash flow to our stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.

• We paid our first dividend of $0.25 per share in November 2011 (annualized dividend of $1.00 per share) and repurchased $250 million, or 7.9 million, of the Company’s shares in the second half of 2011.

We pay for performance.

• Although we had solid financial performance in 2011, we failed to achieve the minimum financial performance ($370 million of free cash flow) established for 2011 performance-based restricted stock units under our long-term incentive program, and those awards were forfeited by our executive officers.

• We emphasize at-risk, performance-based compensation whereby more than 85% of our Chief Executive Officer’s pay is performance-based and more than 70%, on average, of our other Named Executive Officers’ pay is performance-based.

16

• To assess the correlation of a Named Executive Officer’s compensation and performance of the Company, the Compensation and Pension Committee believes that a Named Executive Officer’s compensation should be analyzed by looking at the amount realized versus the total compensation opportunity and the correlation of such amounts to Company performance. The following table reflects the CEO’s 2011 compensation opportunity versus the amount he realized (16% of the total opportunity):

2011 CEO Compensation Opportunity	Compensation Opportunity		Actual Amount Received
Base Salary	$	800,000	$	800,000
Annual Bonus		800,000		88,340
Performance-Based RSUs		3,956,121		0
Total	$	5,556,121	$	888,340

• We establish performance objectives designed to promote the long-term success of the Company and maximize stockholder returns. The performance measures established for our annual incentive program (revenue, operating income and cash cycle) and long-term incentive program (free cash flow) represent key drivers of our success in enhancing stockholder value.

• Target attainment goals are set at a moderate to difficult level and maximum attainment goals are set at a difficult level. Over the past five years, the Company has achieved performance in excess of the target level for annual incentive compensation and for long-term incentive compensation one time (the 2010 performance period).

• Based on our 2011 financial performance, our annual incentive plan was funded at less than minimum total plan performance, further demonstrating the strong alignment between pay and performance.

Our pay practices are stockholder-friendly.

• We provide minimal perquisites and we do not provide tax gross ups on such perquisites.

• We require our executive officers to own stock in the Company (five times annual base salary for the CEO and three times annual base salary for other executive officers).

• Stock ownership guidelines exclude unexercised stock options, unvested restricted stock units and unvested deferred stock units and require the CEO to retain 100% and the other executive officers to retain 50% of net after-tax shares until they have met their guidelines.

• Incentive compensation and equity compensation are subject to forfeiture and recoupment under the Company’s Executive Compensation Recovery Policy adopted in 2009.

• The Company and each executive officer agreed to restructure existing change in control agreements in 2010 to eliminate excise tax gross ups.

• The Company terminated its only non-stockholder approved incentive plan, the Broad-Based Employee Stock Incentive Plan, in February 2011.

• The Company’s stockholders have approved the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers pursuant to the advisory vote on executive compensation (commonly referred to as “Say on Pay”) for the past two years. In response to stockholders’ 2011 Say on Pay vote, the Compensation and Pension Committee has taken the following actions for 2012:

• Redesigned the Company’s long-term incentive plan for 2012 to strengthen the link between financial goals, stockholder interests and executive compensation by increasing the performance period to three years and adding relative total shareholder return and relative return on invested capital measured against the S&P 500 Technology Index as the performance measures. Consistent with prior years, 100% of the Chief Executive Officer’s incentive opportunity will be performance-based.

17

• Revised the peer group of companies for benchmarking 2012 executive compensation to ensure that the peer group of companies generally exhibit similar location, product/service offerings, and financial profile as the Company.

• The Company has implemented the Company’s stockholders preference for an annual Say on Pay vote.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

The Compensation and Pension Committee has developed a set of principles to guide the design of the compensation plans and programs applicable to the Company’s executive officers, including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and the Company’s three most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who were serving as executive officers at the end of 2011 (the “Named Executive Officers”).

• Pay for performance where performance criteria are aligned with stockholder interests.

The performance of the Company and individual levels of performance determine the amount of compensation realized by the executive officers. The objectives of the Company’s compensation plans are intended to focus each executive officer on the achievement of key performance goals and the execution of the strategic plan that will promote the long-term success of the Company and maximize stockholder returns.

• Put pay significantly “at risk” and subject to the achievement of strategic business objectives.

The executive officers have roles and responsibilities that directly influence the achievement of the Company’s performance objectives. Therefore, the Compensation and Pension Committee believes that they should have a significant portion of their compensation dependent on whether those objectives are achieved. Base salary is the only component of an executive officer’s direct compensation that is fixed. Other components, including annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation, are subject to the achievement of strategic business objectives.

• Balance short-term and long-term objectives.

The Company’s compensation programs are balanced between short-term and long-term objectives to ensure that executive officers focus on short-term performance that supports and ensures long-term success and profitability. Performance objectives may include financial measures such as revenue, operating income, worldwide free cash flow, and cash cycle. The Company’s compensation programs also include personal objectives relating to key focus areas and strategic performance objectives.

• Provide total compensation opportunities that are market competitive and supportive of the Company’s strategy to attract, develop, motivate and retain outstanding talent.

The Company benchmarks the components of executive compensation to ensure that they are competitive to the marketplace. The target compensation for each executive officer is compared to market data to ensure that it is comparable to targeted pay levels established by the Compensation and Pension Committee. However, the Compensation and Pension Committee may use discretion to vary executive officer pay from the targeted levels based on factors such as an executive officer’s performance, responsibilities, experience, or length of time in the position.

18

Determining Executive Compensation

Annually, the Compensation and Pension Committee considers whether to recommend to the Board of Directors adjustments to each Named Executive Officer’s base salary and approves the form and amount of equity-based awards. The Compensation and Pension Committee also establishes the target compensation opportunity for each of the Named Executive Officers under the annual incentive compensation plan and for any long-term incentive award (either cash or equity). To determine the amount of the compensation opportunity to award, the Compensation and Pension Committee considers the comparative market data and other factors described in more detail in the discussion that follows. The Compensation and Pension Committee does not

19

establish a specific target allocation for each compensation element, and does not target a specific mix of cash versus equity, short-term incentive compensation versus long-term incentive compensation, or fixed pay versus variable pay. The Compensation and Pension Committee determines the target total direct compensation for each Named Executive Officer by assessing the role of the Named Executive Officer and the comparative market data. The Compensation and Pension Committee then determines the appropriate mix of cash and equity for each Named Executive Officer as detailed in the “Compensation Components” section.

The Compensation and Pension Committee utilizes the services of Pearl Meyer & Partners, a well-established executive compensation consulting firm, to assess the competitiveness of the Company’s executive compensation plans and programs and to provide other executive compensation consulting services. Pearl Meyer & Partners is retained solely by the Compensation and Pension Committee and does not advise management on matters involving executive compensation or on any other matter. Pearl Meyer & Partners’ role in assisting the Compensation and Pension Committee is described in more detail in the discussion that follows.

To evaluate the competitiveness of each Named Executive Officer’s total compensation for 2011, the Compensation and Pension Committee utilized survey and peer group data provided by Pearl Meyer & Partners. Survey data reflected a broad group of technology firms with generally similar revenues as the Company and peer group data was gathered from annual proxy statement disclosures. Periodically, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviews and updates the group of peer companies to ensure that each company continues to be appropriate for benchmarking executive compensation. The Compensation and Pension Committee utilizes the services of Pearl Meyer & Partners on an annual basis to prepare a peer group analysis and make recommendations to the Compensation and Pension Committee on determining the appropriate peer group of companies. Revenue and product similarity are the primary factors for peer group inclusion and market capitalization is a secondary factor. Companies with revenue and/or market capitalization of one-third to three times the revenue and/or market capitalization of the Company are targeted. Based on the annual review and analysis prepared by Pearl Meyer & Partners for 2011, the following peer group was approved for 2011 executive compensation benchmarking purposes:

2011 Peer Group			Revenue ($M)(1)
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.	Micron Technology, Inc.	Peer Group 75th %	$	8,050
Agilent Technologies, Inc.	National Semiconductor Corp.
Analog Devices, Inc.	NCR Corporation	Peer Group Median	$	4,758
Eastman Kodak Company	SanDisk Corporation
Imation Corporation	Seagate Technology	Peer Group 25th %	$	2,383
KLA-Tencor Corporation	Western Digital Corporation
LAM Research Corporation	Xerox Corporation
Logitech International		Lexmark International, Inc.	$	4,176

(1) Reflects trailing 4 quarters revenue as of September 2010, in most cases.

Although the Company makes reference to many competitors in its annual report, only Xerox Corporation and Eastman Kodak Company were included in the Company’s peer group of companies used for executive compensation benchmarking purposes. The Company’s other competitors were excluded because their revenue and market capitalization did not meet the criteria set forth above or their headquarters are located outside of the United States. Companies headquartered outside of the United States are generally excluded for benchmarking purposes because (i) executive compensation data is not as readily available or disclosed as fully as is required in the United States, (ii) the Company’s labor market for its executive officers is generally based in the United States, and (iii) compensation practices in other countries can vary dramatically due to local regulations, customs and state-required compensation programs.

Role of the Compensation Consultant

Pearl Meyer & Partners has been retained by the Compensation and Pension Committee to assist the Committee in assessing the competitiveness of executive compensation, and provides other consulting services as

20

requested by the Committee. In 2011, Pearl Meyer & Partners provided composite data from survey sources and proxy statement disclosure data from the peer group of companies to assist the Compensation and Pension Committee in establishing the proper compensation level for executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. In addition, Pearl Meyer & Partners conducted a competitive assessment review of executive compensation in the first quarter of 2011, which was utilized by the Compensation and Pension Committee in determining executive compensation for 2011. Pearl Meyer & Partners also advised the Compensation and Pension Committee on a broad spectrum of matters, including, but not limited to:

• Composition of the Company’s peer group for benchmarking executive compensation.

• Design changes to the Company’s annual and long-term incentive compensation plans.

• Review of the Company’s proxy disclosures, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

• Review management proposals to advise the Compensation & Pension Committee.

• Provide an overview of regulatory updates.

Pearl Meyer & Partners does not advise management on matters involving executive compensation or on any other matter.

Role of the Stockholders

The Company’s Board of Directors and Compensation and Pension Committee welcome and value the input of stockholders and other interested parties. There are numerous ways for stockholders and other interested parties to communicate their views to the Board of Directors and the Compensation and Pension Committee. Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate directly with the Presiding Director, non-management Directors as a group or any member of the Board of Directors through the Corporate Secretary by writing to him at Lexmark International, Inc., 740 West New Circle Road, Lexington, Kentucky 40550. In addition, the Company has added an e-mail link on the Corporate Governance section of its webpage seeking the input of all of its stockholders and other interested parties on executive compensation and other corporate governance matters.

Response to Say on Pay Vote

In 2009, the Board of Directors adopted a Corporate Governance Principle, commonly known as a “Say on Pay” proposal, to annually provide stockholders with an advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, which has been incorporated as Proposal 3 of this Proxy Statement. The Company’s stockholders who voted on the Say on Pay Proposal have approved the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers for the past two years with more than 90% of stockholders, who voted on the Proposal, approving it in 2010 and more than 75% in 2011. The Compensation and Pension Committee believes that the vote of stockholders endorses the Company’s pay for performance philosophy, which is designed to promote the long-term success of the Company and maximize stockholder returns. However, the Compensation and Pension Committee is concerned that approximately 25% voted against the Company’s Say on Pay Proposal in 2011.

In consideration of the Say on Pay vote in 2011, the Compensation and Pension Committee met with Pearl Meyer & Partners and management to ensure that the Company’s executive compensation program rewards performance that promotes the long-term success of the Company and maximizes shareholder returns. As part of that process, the Compensation and Pension Committee has redesigned the Company’s long-term incentive plan for 2012 to strengthen the link between financial goals, stockholder interests and executive compensation by adding relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) and relative return on invested capital (“ROIC”) measured against the S&P 500 Technology Index as the performance measures under the long-term incentive plan. Under the 2012-2014 long-term incentive plan, approved by the Compensation and Pension Committee, 100% of Mr. Rooke’s long-term incentive compensation opportunity will be performance-based, 50% of which will be comprised of performance-based restricted stock units based on relative ROIC and the other 50% of which will be comprised of cash based on relative TSR. The other Named Executive Officers will have a long-term incentive compensation opportunity that is 70% performance-based (35% performance-based restricted stock

21

units based on relative ROIC and 35% cash based on relative TSR), with the remaining 30% comprised of time-based restricted stock units. In addition, for benchmarking 2012 executive compensation, the Compensation and Pension Committee revised the peer group of companies to include six companies in the S&P Technology Hardware & Equipment industry, resulting in the removal of three current companies in the peer group of companies that are in the semiconductor industry and one company in the pharmaceuticals, biotech and life sciences industry. The additions to the peer group of companies also generally exhibit similar location, product/service offerings, and financial profile as the Company.

Setting Performance Objectives

The Compensation and Pension Committee believes that the Company’s annual business plan and strategic plan appropriately reflect the level of performance required for the Company to be successful in a highly competitive market. Generally, the targeted range for performance objectives is aligned with the corresponding measure in the Company’s plans for the corresponding performance period. The Compensation and Pension Committee believes that minimum attainment goals are achievable with some level of success, while target attainment goals are set at a moderate to difficult level and maximum attainment goals are set at a difficult level. Over the past five years, the Company has achieved performance in excess of the target level for annual incentive compensation one time (the 2010 performance period) and for long-term incentive compensation one time (the 2010 performance period).

COMPENSATION COMPONENTS

Total Direct Compensation

The Compensation and Pension Committee determines the form and level of compensation opportunity to award by applying the same principles, policies, and methodologies to each of the Named Executive Officers. The principles, policies and methodologies relating to the decision to utilize each component of compensation, the level of each component, and how one component may influence the Compensation and Pension Committee’s decisions with respect to other components is described in further detail in the discussion that follows or was provided in the table in the “Components of the Company’s Executive Compensation Program” section.

Annually, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviews the total direct compensation opportunity for each of the Named Executive Officers, as well as the Company’s other Section 16 executive officers. Total direct compensation includes base salary, annual incentive compensation opportunity, and long-term incentive compensation opportunity. The long-term incentive opportunity may be an equity-based award (such as restricted stock units or stock options) or a cash-denominated award. First, the Compensation and Pension Committee determines the form and level of each compensation component to award by performing a separate and distinct analysis of base salary, annual incentive compensation and total long-term incentive compensation for each Named Executive Officer. Next, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviews the total direct compensation opportunity of each of the Named Executive Officers by a comparison to the total direct compensation of named executive officers of peer companies obtained through their proxy statement disclosures, as described above.

The Compensation and Pension Committee has determined that each Named Executive Officer’s total direct compensation opportunity should be nominally targeted at the 50th percentile. The Compensation and Pension Committee believes that the 50th percentile aligns a Named Executive Officer’s compensation with that of the Company’s peer group and the interests of the Company’s stockholders, and likewise ensures that the Company remains competitive in attracting and retaining executive officers. However, it should be noted that total direct compensation opportunity for each individual may range above or below the 50th percentile based on a variety of factors, including the executive officer’s skills and experience, the importance of the position to the Company, past and expected future performance, the difficulty of replacement, and the length of time in the position.

22

The following graphs illustrate the allocation of the 2011 total direct compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and the average total direct compensation of the other Named Executive Officers, excluding Dr. Curlander, as a group:

Base Salary

The Compensation and Pension Committee reviews the base salary of each Named Executive Officer on an annual basis. The base salary for each of the Named Executive Officers is determined by the responsibilities of the position held, the experience of the individual, the individual’s length of time in the position, and by reference to the information compiled from compensation surveys and peer group data regarding the competitive marketplace for executive talent, including a comparison to base salaries for comparable marketplace positions discussed above in the section entitled “Determining Executive Compensation.”

Salary adjustments for each of the Named Executive Officers are based on an evaluation of the performance of the Company and of each of the Named Executive Officers. New responsibilities, as well as changes in the competitive marketplace, are also taken into account when considering an adjustment to base salary. The Compensation and Pension Committee determines the amount of any change in base salary to recommend to the Board of Directors for approval. The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for approving any change in base salary for each of the Named Executive Officers, as well as the Company’s other Section 16 executive officers.

At its meeting on February 23, 2011, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviewed management’s recommendations and the competitive assessment review report prepared by Pearl Meyer & Partners, and based on that information as well as the improvement in the current economic conditions, they recommended that the Board of Directors approve adjustments to the base salary of all the Named Executive Officers except for Mr. Rooke and Dr. Curlander. Because Dr. Curlander had announced his intentions to retire from the Company, effective April 30, 2011 and Mr. Rooke had received a base salary increase on October 20, 2010, upon his promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, it was determined by the Compensation and Pension Committee that no increases were required for Dr. Curlander and Mr. Rooke. Based on the recommendation of the Compensation and Pension Committee, the Board of Directors approved the following adjustments to base salary:

Name	Base Salary Increase		New Base Salary
J.W. Gamble, Jr.	$	55,000	$	550,000
M.S. Canning		27,500		500,000
R.M. Foresti		30,000		385,000
R.J. Patton		75,000		375,000

Annual Incentive Compensation

The annual incentive compensation opportunity for each of the Named Executive Officers is made under the Lexmark International, Inc. Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders in 2004. The Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan has been designed to ensure that the annual incentive compensation awards are paid in a manner to ensure maximum deductibility of the payment of such awards by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the

23

terms of the Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, the maximum award for each Named Executive Officer is six-tenths of one percent of Operating Income, as defined in the plan. The Compensation and Pension Committee administers the plan and has negative discretion to reduce, but not increase, the award made to a Named Executive Officer based on any factors it may deem appropriate.

The factors considered by the Compensation and Pension Committee for reducing a Named Executive Officer’s annual incentive compensation award under the Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan are based on the strategic performance objectives for each of the Named Executive Officers set forth in the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan.

For 2011, the strategic performance objectives under the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan included the following:

• Corporate Objectives — measured with reference to annual revenue, operating income and cash cycle, each excluding all acquisition activity.

• Worldwide Business/Geographic Unit Objectives — measured with reference to the applicable worldwide business or geographic unit annual revenue, operating income and cash cycle, each excluding acquisitions.

• Personal Objectives — established based on key focus areas and strategic performance objectives specific to each individual. The CEO’s personal objective is based on an assessment of his general management of the Company.

• Threshold Objectives — measured with reference to free cash flow, excluding all acquisition activity and pension contributions.

The Compensation and Pension Committee selected revenue, operating income and cash cycle, each excluding all acquisition activity, as the performance objectives for 2011, because it believed the achievement of the targets established for these performance measures will drive the long-term success of the Company. Revenue is viewed as an important performance objective to drive the success of the Company, and the targets established by the Compensation and Pension Committee are designed to motivate employees to grow existing business and focus on customers’ needs to drive increased hardware, supplies, software and services sales. The Compensation and Pension Committee’s selection of operating income as a performance measure is intended to motivate employees of the Company to focus on generating additional earnings by focusing on cost reduction, improved product quality, pricing, expense management and innovation. The Compensation and Pension Committee selected cash cycle as a performance measure to motivate employees to reduce the amount of time it takes the Company to convert its cash into product, sell the product to the customer, and collect the account receivable from the customer. Free cash flow, excluding all acquisition activity and pension contributions, was selected by the Compensation and Pension Committee as the threshold performance measure to emphasize the importance of cash generation.

The weighting for each objective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 for each of the Named Executive Officers is shown in the table below.

Name	Corporate Objective			Worldwide Business or Geographic Unit Objective			Personal Objective
P.A. Rooke		80	%		0	%		20	%
J.W. Gamble, Jr.		80			0			20
M.S. Canning		30			50			20
R.M. Foresti		20			60			20
R.J. Patton		80			0			20
P.J. Curlander		80			0			20

The following table shows the performance objectives for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, which were approved by the Compensation and Pension Committee at its February 23, 2011 meeting as well as the actual attainment that was certified by the Compensation and Pension Committee at its February 22, 2012 meeting. All dollar amounts are in millions and include restructuring charges and exclude acquisition related costs and expenses. The threshold metric also excludes pension contributions.

	Min		Target		Max		2011 Actual Attainment
Corporate
Revenue (40%)	$	4,249	$	4,505	$	4,761	$	4,175
Operating Income (40%)	$	484	$	560	$	636	$	473
Cash Cycle (days) (20%)		11		9		7		10

Free Cash Flow	$	370	$	420	$	470	$	274

An annual incentive compensation opportunity for each of the Named Executive Officers, other than the CEO, is recommended by the CEO, for approval by the Compensation and Pension Committee. The award opportunity may be increased or decreased based on the judgment of the Compensation and Pension Committee of the individual’s overall contribution to Lexmark’s business results. The Compensation and Pension Committee determines and approves the annual incentive compensation opportunity for the CEO. The annual incentive opportunities for each of the Named Executive Officers are based on the peer group company data and the survey data for annual incentive awards and each Named Executive Officer’s total compensation target discussed above in the section entitled “Determining Executive Compensation.” Consistent with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, an executive officer’s total cash compensation opportunity is highly leveraged. The Compensation and Pension Committee establishes annual incentive compensation targets that it believes put annual incentive compensation significantly “at risk” because payments are entirely dependent upon the achievement of strategic performance objectives. At its meeting on February 23, 2011, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviewed the information from the peer group company data and the compensation surveys, and also gave consideration to the qualitative factors listed above. Based on this review, the Compensation and Pension Committee approved the annual incentive award opportunity for each of the Named Executive Officers for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, shown in the table below.

Name	Threshold		Target		Maximum
P.A. Rooke	$	80,000	$	800,000	$	1,600,000
J.W. Gamble, Jr.		55,000		412,500		825,000
M.S. Canning		50,000		375,000		750,000
R.M. Foresti		38,500		250,250		500,500
R.J. Patton		37,500		243,750		487,500
P.J. Curlander(1)		100,000		1,200,000		2,400,000

(1) Dr. Curlander’s annual incentive award opportunity with respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, is based on a full year of employment. Because Dr. Curlander retired, he will be entitled to a pro rata portion of annual incentive compensation for the year of his retirement based on the actual attainment of the performance objectives for the performance period and his earnings through April 30, 2011, the date of his retirement.

The Compensation and Pension Committee must review and certify the business results and the incentive compensation plan attainments before any payments can be made. This review is generally performed in the first quarter of each year and the payout typically occurs shortly thereafter. At its meeting on February 22, 2012, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviewed and certified the business results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, and determined that less than minimum total plan performance had been attained for the performance period. Based on such performance, the Compensation and Pension Committee approved the following payment of annual incentive compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers:

Name	2011 Annual  Incentive Compensation Award
P.A. Rooke	$	88,340
J.W. Gamble, Jr.		76,077
M.S. Canning		84,392
R.M. Foresti		92,083
R.J. Patton		31,440
P.J. Curlander		45,600

Total Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The Compensation and Pension Committee determines the appropriate level of each Named Executive Officer’s total long-term incentive compensation opportunity by a comparison to the total long-term incentive compensation of named executive officers of peer companies obtained through proxy statement disclosure and composite survey data as discussed above in the section entitled “Determining Executive Compensation.”

The Company utilizes equity-based compensation to foster and promote the long-term financial success of the Company and to materially increase stockholder value by motivating superior performance by employees. By providing employees with an ownership interest, their interests are more closely aligned with those of the Company’s stockholders. To determine equity award levels, the Company utilizes peer group data and market survey data, reviews the value of prior equity awards made to each Named Executive Officer, and evaluates each Named Executive Officer’s expected future contribution to business results. The CEO then makes a grant recommendation for each of the Named Executive Officers, other than himself, to the Compensation and Pension Committee based on this analysis. The Vice President of Human Resources makes a recommendation to the Compensation and Pension Committee for the CEO based on the competitive market data. The Compensation and Pension Committee reviews management’s analysis and recommendations and is ultimately responsible for determining the size of the equity award and approving the grant.

• 2011 Long-Term Incentive Awards.     On February 23, 2011, the Compensation and Pension Committee awarded Mr. Rooke a long-term incentive opportunity that was 100% performance-based. The other Named Executive Officers, excluding Dr. Curlander, were awarded a long-term incentive opportunity comprised 70% of performance-based restricted stock units and 30% of time-based restricted stock units. Because Dr. Curlander had announced his intentions to retire from the Company, effective April 30, 2011, the Compensation and Pension Committee did not grant Dr. Curlander a long-term incentive award. The Compensation and Pension Committee believes that a long-term incentive opportunity comprised of a combination of performance-based and time-based restricted stock units will motivate the Named Executive Officers on the achievement of key performance goals, while maintaining a retention focus. The performance measure for the performance-based restricted stock units is worldwide free cash flow, excluding all acquisition activity and pension contributions. The performance period is January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. Minimum attainment for free cash flow, excluding all acquisition activity and pension contributions was established at $370 million, target attainment was established at $420 million and maximum attainment was established at $470 million.

The time-based restricted stock unit awards will vest and settle in three approximately equal installments (34%, 33% and 33%, respectively) on February 24, 2013, February 24, 2014 and February 24, 2015, based on the continued employment of the Named Executive Officer on each vesting date. The performance-based restricted stock units to be awarded based on the Company’s achievement of its objective, if any, will be determined in 2012, with vesting and settlement of any earned performance-based restricted stock units to occur in three approximately equal installments (34%, 33% and 33%, respectively) on February 24, 2012, February 24, 2014 and February 24, 2015, based on the Named Executive Officer’s continued employment on each vesting date. The Named Executive Officer must be employed on the last day of the performance period to earn the performance-based restricted stock units. Termination of employment prior to such time for any reason will result in forfeiture of the award. The vesting of any earned performance-based restricted stock units after the end of the performance period will be accelerated in the event of the Named Executive Officer’s death, disability or retirement occurring after the completion of the performance period.

26

The time-based restricted stock units awarded, as well as the minimum, target and maximum award levels for the performance-based restricted stock unit awards are set forth in the following table. The fair market values are computed using the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant ($37.57).

	Time-Based RSU Awards				Performance-Based RSU Awards

R.J. Patton		5,550		208,514		6,475		12,950		19,425		486,532

Because the Company failed to attain the minimum performance for free cash flow for the January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 performance period, the Compensation and Pension Committee determined at its meeting on February 22, 2012 that no performance-based restricted stock units were earned by the Named Executive Officers and the awards were cancelled.

• 2010 Long-Term Incentive Awards.     On February 23, 2010, the Compensation and Pension Committee awarded Dr. Curlander, who was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer at the date of grant, a long-term incentive opportunity that was 100% performance based. The other Named Executive Officers were awarded a long-term incentive opportunity comprised 60% of performance-based restricted stock units and 40% of time-based restricted stock units. The performance measure for the performance-based restricted stock units was worldwide free cash flow, excluding acquisitions. The performance period was January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

The time-based restricted stock unit awards will vest and settle in three approximately equal installments (34%, 33% and 33%, respectively) on February 24, 2012, February 24, 2013 and February 24, 2014, based on the continued employment of the Named Executive Officer on each vesting date. At its meeting on February 23, 2011, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviewed and certified the business results for the performance-based restricted stock unit awards, and determined that maximum performance was attained for the performance period. Therefore, the following restricted stock units were earned: Dr. Curlander – 195,000, Mr. Rooke — 44,325, Mr. Gamble — 36,000, Mr. Canning — 36,000, Mr. Foresti — 21,150, and Mr. Patton — 21,150. Vesting and settlement of the earned performance-based restricted stock units will occur in three approximately equal installments (34%, 33% and 33%, respectively) on February 24, 2011, February 24, 2013 and February 24, 2014, based on the Named Executive Officer’s continued employment on each vesting date. The Named Executive Officer must be employed on the last day of the performance period to earn the performance-based restricted stock units. Termination of employment prior to such time for any reason will result in forfeiture of the award. The vesting of any earned performance-based restricted stock units after the end of the performance period will be accelerated in the event of the Named Executive Officer’s death, disability or retirement occurring after the completion of the performance period. In connection with Dr. Curlander’s retirement from the Company and in consideration of his more than 30 years of service to the Company, the Compensation and Pension Committee accelerated the vesting of the second and third tranches of Dr. Curlander’s performance-based restricted stock units to April 29, 2011.

The time-based restricted stock units awarded, as well as the minimum, target and maximum award levels for the performance-based restricted stock unit awards are set forth in the following table. The fair market values are computed using the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant ($33.03).

Effective October 26, 2010, when the closing price of the Common Stock was $37.71, the Board of Directors granted Mr. Rooke a long-term incentive award comprised of 22,000 restricted stock units and 60,000 stock options in connection with his promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer. The restricted stock units will vest and settle in three approximately equal installments (34%, 33% and 33%, respectively) on the second through fourth anniversaries of the grant date, based on Mr. Rooke’s continued employment through the vesting dates. The fair market value of the restricted stock units on the date of grant was $829,620. The stock options, with an exercise price of $37.71, shall become vested and exercisable in four equal installments (25% per year) on each of the first through the fourth anniversaries of the grant date. The Black-Scholes value of the stock options on the date of grant was $850,800.

• 2009 Long-Term Incentive Awards.     In establishing the long-term incentive opportunity for 2009, the Compensation and Pension Committee targeted the 50th percentile, with a 20% reduction, based upon Pearl Meyer & Partners’ recommendation that market data would likely reveal similar reductions by the Company’s peer group and other technology companies for 2009. On February 20, 2009, the Compensation and Pension Committee awarded each Named Executive Officer, other than Dr. Curlander, a long-term incentive opportunity comprised 60% of performance-based restricted stock units and 40% of time-based restricted stock units. The Compensation and Pension Committee had intended to award Dr. Curlander an equity-based long-term incentive award for 2009. However, Dr. Curlander requested that the Compensation and Pension Committee not award a long-term incentive opportunity to him for 2009 in an effort to control costs during 2009, while allowing other individuals to receive awards. The time-based restricted stock units awarded in 2009 will vest and settle in three approximately equal installments (34%, 33% and 33%, respectively) on February 20, 2011, February 20, 2012 and February 20, 2013, based on the continued employment of the Named Executive Officer on each vesting date. Because the Company failed to attain minimum performance based on return on net assets, excluding cash and marketable securities, for the January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 performance period, the Compensation and Pension Committee determined at its meeting on February 17, 2010 that no performance-based restricted stock units were earned by the Named Executive Officers and the awards were cancelled.

The time-based restricted stock units awarded in 2009, as well as the minimum, target and maximum award levels for the 2009 performance-based restricted stock unit awards are set forth in the following table. The fair market values are computed using the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant ($19.06).

• 2009 Stock Options.     On May 15, 2009, at the recommendation of the CEO, the Compensation and Pension Committee approved grants of stock options with performance-based vesting, as well as a service condition, for Messrs. Canning, Foresti, Gamble and Rooke. The awards were designed to promote the achievement of an essential performance goal, free cash flow, and to foster retention of the executive officers. The performance measure selected for the awards was the achievement of a pre-determined amount of free operating cash flow for four consecutive quarters. In determining the value of the grants, the Compensation and Pension Committee considered the value of prior equity awards as well as the additional value required to serve as an effective retention tool. The stock options will become vested and exercisable only if the performance goal is met as of May 15, 2016, otherwise the stock options will be forfeited on that date. At its meeting on February 17, 2010, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviewed and certified the business results for the performance condition for the stock options, and determined that performance condition had been attained. Therefore, the stock options will become vested

28

on the second, fourth and sixth anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment on such dates by the executive officers. Since the performance goal has been satisfied, if the Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated due to death, disability or retirement before the stock options have become vested, any unvested stock options shall become fully vested on the date of termination due to death, disability or retirement. The stock options will expire on May 15, 2019, if not sooner forfeited or exercised. The following table shows the number of stock options awarded and the Black-Scholes value for each Named Executive Officer.

Name	Options Granted (#)		Black-Scholes Value  ($)
P.A. Rooke		172,000	$	1,063,700
J.W. Gamble, Jr.		129,000		797,775

• Grant Practice of Equity-Based Awards.     Equity-based awards are granted under the Lexmark International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and must be approved by the Compensation and Pension Committee. Grants of equity-based awards are generally effective on the date that the Compensation and Pension Committee approves the award. The Compensation and Pension Committee delegated authority to approve awards to each of the CEO and the Vice President of Human Resources, excluding grants made to Section 16 executive officers, on April 26, 2006. The terms of this delegation limit the type and size of each award and all awards in the aggregate made between meetings of the Compensation and Pension Committee and the CEO or Vice President of Human Resources is required to present a report of the equity-based awards that have been granted between each Compensation and Pension Committee meeting at the next regularly scheduled Compensation and Pension Committee meeting. No more than 60,000 shares may be granted between regularly-scheduled Compensation and Pension Committee meetings and no more than 15,000 shares may be granted to an individual pursuant to an equity-based award during such period. Restricted stock grants are limited to a maximum value of $350,000 per individual and must include a vesting schedule of not less than three years. Stock option awards must vest over a period of not less than three years, must not have a term that exceeds ten years, and must not have an exercise price lower than the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Awards are granted on the first business day of the month following approval by the CEO or the Vice President of Human Resources.

Retirement Plans and Other Benefits

The Company provides retirement and other benefit plans in which qualified employees, including each of the Named Executive Officers, are eligible to participate. Each plan is designed to offer competitive benefits in order to attract and retain talent and is described in detail as follows:

• Defined Benefit Retirement Plans.     All employees in the United States, including each of the Named Executive Officers, were eligible to participate in the Lexmark Retirement Growth Account Plan prior to April 3, 2006. The plan is a cash balance defined benefit plan under which benefit accruals were frozen effective April 3, 2006. To the extent that a participant’s eligible compensation was not considered under the Lexmark Retirement Growth Account Plan due to the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17) limit, the Company maintains a non-qualified, unfunded, noncontributory plan known as the Lexmark Nonqualified Supplemental Retirement Plan. This plan provides for the same benefits that would have been provided under the cash balance defined benefit plan without such limitation. Benefit accruals under the Lexmark Nonqualified Supplemental Retirement Plan were frozen as a result of the Company’s actions to freeze benefits under the Lexmark Retirement Growth Account Plan. A description of the Lexmark Retirement Growth Account Plan and the Lexmark Nonqualified Supplemental Retirement Plan follows the “Pension Benefits” table.

• Defined Contribution Plans.     The Lexmark Savings Plan is a tax-favored 401(k) plan that allows eligible employees, including each of the Named Executive Officers, to contribute on a pre-tax basis up to 50% of eligible compensation, as defined in the plan, subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations

29

($16,500 for pre-tax contributions and $5,500 for catch-up contributions in 2011). The Company makes an automatic Company contribution of 1% of each employee’s eligible compensation and a Company matching contribution of up to 5% of the employee’s eligible compensation.

• Supplemental Deferred Compensation Plan.     The Lexmark Supplemental Savings and Deferred Compensation Plan allows eligible employees, including each of the Named Executive Officers, to defer up to 100% of eligible compensation in excess of the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17) limit ($245,000 in 2011) and to receive a Company matching contribution of up to 6% of the participant’s eligible excess compensation. A description of the Lexmark Supplemental Savings and Deferred Compensation Plan follows the “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” table.

• Deferred Stock Units.     The Lexmark International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan entitles a participant, including each of the Named Executive Officers, to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his annual incentive compensation, and receive an award of deferred stock units. These deferred stock units are fully vested at all times and settle on the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the grant date or the termination date due to retirement (subject to a six-month delay as required under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A), death or disability. The participant also receives an additional award of supplemental deferred stock units upon deferral with a value equal to 20% of the compensation deferred. These supplemental deferred stock units vest and settle on the fifth anniversary of the date that the compensation deferred would otherwise have been paid, subject to continued employment from the date of deferral through the settlement date. Supplemental deferred stock units will vest and settle in full upon termination of employment due to death or disability.

• Health and Welfare Benefits.     Each of the Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the same health and welfare benefit plans that are available to all eligible employees of the Company.

Termination and Change in Control Agreements

Each of the Named Executive Officers has entered into a change in control agreement with the Company, effective as of October 26, 2010 for Dr. Curlander and Mr. Rooke and effective as of November 1, 2010 for Messrs Canning, Foresti, Gamble and Patton. Dr. Curlander’s change in control agreement with the Company expired upon his retirement with the Company, effective April 30, 2011. In the interest of complying with best pay practices, the Company and each of the Named Executive Officers agreed to the new form of change in control agreement in 2010 to eliminate the excise tax “gross up” provisions set forth in their predecessor agreements. The Compensation and Pension Committee believes that these agreements are in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to ensure the continued focus and dedication of each Named Executive Officer to the business of the Company without the distraction or personal financial concern if the Company were to be acquired by another company. These agreements ensure that the Named Executive Officers will continue to perform services on behalf of the Company when a change in control is pending, and protects the Named Executive Officers against the potential loss of their positions following a change in control. These agreements provide certain severance benefits only upon a double trigger, meaning severance benefits will only be paid to a Named Executive Officer if the following two events occur: (i) a change in control of the Company, and (ii) within 12 months prior to a change in control, the Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated by the Company in connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control, or within 24 months following the change in control of the Company, the Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by the Named Executive Officer with “good reason.” A description of the material terms and potential payments provided under the change in control agreements for each of the Named Executive Officers is included in the narrative of the “Termination and Change in Control Payments” section.

In addition, each of the Named Executive Officers entered into new employment agreements with the Company, effective as of October 26, 2010 for Dr. Curlander and Mr. Rooke and effective November 1, 2010 for Messrs. Canning, Foresti, Gamble and Patton. The new form of employment agreement was prepared to replace the Named Executive Officers’ prior employment agreements which were scheduled to expire on October 31, 2010. The new standard form of employment agreement provides for a fixed term of employment through

30

October 31, 2012 (April 30, 2011 for Dr. Curlander). The agreements provide severance benefits upon an involuntary termination of employment or a voluntary termination by a Named Executive Officer with “good reason.” The Compensation and Pension Committee believes that the severance benefits offered under the employment agreements represent a significant component of each Named Executive Officer’s total compensation package, are market competitive and not excessive, and are essential to the Company’s ability to attract and retain key executive officers. The benefits offered under the employment agreements allow the executives to continue to focus their efforts and attention on the Company’s business operations and execution of the Company’s strategic plan. A description of the material terms and the payments provided under the employment agreements for each of the Named Executive Officers is included in the narrative of the “Termination and Change in Control Payments” section.

Perquisites

The Company provides each of the Named Executive Officers with perquisites that the Company and the Compensation and Pension Committee believe are reasonable, not excessive, and consistent with its overall compensation philosophy. Each of the Named Executive Officers is entitled to reimbursement for qualified payments towards financial planning and may receive up to $6,000 ($12,000 for the Chief Executive Officer) annually. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer’s spouse may accompany him on the Company aircraft when he is traveling for business and there is no incremental cost to the Company.

Stock Ownership

The Compensation and Pension Committee believes in aligning the interests of executive officers with the long-term interests of stockholders. Consistent with this philosophy, the Compensation and Pension Committee recommended, and the Board approved, stock ownership guidelines for certain executive officers, including each of the Named Executive Officers. These guidelines require that until the ownership goal is reached, each of the Named Executive Officers must retain a percentage of after tax net shares on the exercise of any stock options and the vesting and settlement of any restricted stock units. That percentage is 100% for the Chief Executive Officer and 50% for each of the other Named Executive Officers. The guidelines exclude unexercised stock options, unvested restricted stock units and unvested deferred stock units and require the Chief Executive Officer to hold a minimum of five times base salary and each of the other Named Executive Officers to hold a minimum of three times base salary in value of the Common Stock. The Compensation and Pension Committee annually reviews the actual stock ownership of each Named Executive Officer compared to his stock ownership guideline. Information on the number of stock options, unvested restricted stock units and unvested deferred stock units, which are not counted for ownership guidelines, is also presented to the Compensation and Pension Committee during the review of stock ownership.

Risk Assessment

In designing compensation plans and programs for executive officers of the Company, including the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation and Pension Committee structures such plans and programs to balance risk and reward, while mitigating the incentive for excessive risk taking. The following characteristics of the Company’s executive compensation plans and programs limit the possibility for excessive risk taking:

• The base salary is a fixed amount, and therefore does not encourage risk taking.

• The annual incentive compensation opportunity for each Named Executive Officer is limited to six-tenths of one percent of Operating Income, in accordance with the Lexmark International, Inc. Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan.

• The Company’s annual incentive compensation program and long term incentive compensation program have used metrics such as revenue growth, operating income, cash cycle and free cash flow for many years and the Company has seen no evidence that it encourages unnecessary or excessive risk taking.

• The long-term incentive opportunity is comprised of time-based restricted stock units that vest over multiple years and/or performance-based restricted stock units, which aligns the Named Executive Officer’s interests to the long-term stockholder interests.

31

• Members of the Compensation and Pension Committee approve the final incentive compensation awards after reviewing the executive officer’s and the Company’s performance, and may utilize negative discretion to reduce incentive compensation awards based on a variety of performance objectives, thereby diversifying the risk.

• Incentive compensation and equity awards are subject to forfeiture and recoupment as described in the “Executive Compensation Recovery Policy” section.

• The Named Executive Officers are subject to stock ownership guidelines as described in the “Stock Ownership” section.

Tax Deductibility of Pay

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows the deductibility of compensation paid to each of the Named Executive Officers in amounts in excess of $1 million unless the compensation is paid pursuant to pre-determined performance objectives that meet the requirements of Section 162(m), including stockholder approval. To ensure deductibility of non-discretionary annual incentive awards, the Lexmark International, Inc. Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, which was presented to and approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, sets forth a maximum annual incentive award to each participant equal to six-tenths of one percent of Operating Income, as defined in the plan. To ensure the deductibility of long-term incentive awards and equity awards, the Lexmark International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, which was presented to and approved by the Company’s stockholders, sets forth a maximum number of shares that may be awarded to a participant as stock options or stock appreciation rights over a five-year period equal to 3,000,000 shares, and further sets forth a maximum long-term incentive award to each participant for performance periods of three years equal to $10,000,000, if the award is denominated in cash, or 1,200,000 shares for stock-based awards, with proportionate adjustments for shorter or longer performance periods. The Compensation and Pension Committee and the Board of Directors believe that it is essential to retain the ability to reward and motivate executives based on the assessment of an individual’s performance, even though some or all of any such discretionary payments may not be deductible due to the requirements of Section 162(m). Accordingly, the Compensation and Pension Committee reserves the right to award discretionary incentive awards to executive officers and adopt other compensation plans and arrangements which may not be deductible under Section 162(m). Any such incentive payments would be based on the Compensation and Pension Committee’s qualitative assessment of the applicable executive’s individual performance and contribution.

Tally Sheets

The Compensation and Pension Committee annually reviews tally sheets that set forth the total annual compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers and certain other executive officers. The Compensation and Pension Committee believes that tally sheets are important to maintain visibility to amounts realized by each of the Named Executive Officers annually under various termination and change in control scenarios. The tally sheets include the dollar amount that would be realized by the executive officer under four termination and change in control scenarios. These scenarios include voluntary termination (including retirement), involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination by the employee for good reason, change in control without a termination of employment, and termination following a change in control.

Executive Compensation Recovery Policy

In February 2009, the Compensation and Pension Committee and the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee recommended to the Board of Directors the adoption of an Executive Compensation Recovery Policy that is applicable to certain employees, including each of the Named Executive Officers. The Board of Directors adopted the policy on February 19, 2009, and it applies to all incentive compensation and equity awards granted after such date. Under the Executive Compensation Recovery Policy, if a Covered Employee’s fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct causes the Company to restate all or a portion of its financial

32

information that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be able to recoup certain payments from the Covered Employee, who engaged in the prohibited conduct, and from certain other executive officers, including each of the Named Executive Officers, who benefited from such misconduct. With respect to a Covered Employee who engages in the prohibited conduct requiring a restatement of financial information, the Company shall recoup (i) 100% of the incentive compensation (annual bonuses, long-term incentive compensation, and performance-based equity awards) paid to the Covered Employee during the period beginning at the time of the initial public disclosure of the misstated financial information and ending 12 months following the date of the initial filing of any financial statement that must be restated (the “Recovery Period”), and (ii) 100% of the gains realized by the Covered Employee from the vesting and settlement of any restricted stock unit or other equity award or the vesting or exercise of any stock option, the sale of any stock acquired pursuant to the vesting and settlement of any restricted stock unit or any other equity award or the vesting and exercise of any stock option, and all cash awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the Policy requires the Covered Employee to forfeit any vested and unvested stock options, restricted stock units and any other equity awards. With respect to certain other Covered Employees, including each Named Executive Officer, who benefits from the misconduct, the Policy provides that the Company may recoup from such Covered Employees the excess incentive compensation paid during the Recovery Period over the amount that would have been paid if the financial information had been correctly reported.

In addition, each stock option agreement and restricted stock unit agreement awarded to employees of the Company, including each Named Executive Officer, provides that if the employee violates the non-compete, non-interference, non-disparagement, or non-disclosure restrictions set forth in the agreement or otherwise acts against the best interests of the Company, the employee shall (i) forfeit any unexercised portion of the stock option or unvested portion of the restricted stock unit; and (ii) repay to the Company an amount equal to the stock option gains or the income realized upon vesting of the restricted stock units within 18 months preceding the earlier of the violation of one of the restrictions or the termination of the employee’s employment through the later of 18 months following the violation of one of the restrictions or such period of time it takes the Company to discover the violation.

(1) No discretionary bonuses have been awarded to any of the Named Executive Officers during the past three fiscal years. Refer to the Non-Equity Incentive Compensation Plan column for payments awarded based on the achievement of preestablished performance objectives.

(2) Consists of the grant date fair value dollar amount computed in accordance with the provisions of the FASB guidance on share-based payments and related interpretations for all restricted stock units and supplemental deferred stock units granted during the years presented above. The grant date fair value for restricted stock units and supplemental deferred stock units with time-based vesting is computed by multiplying the number of units by the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the grant date. For the performance-based restricted stock units, the grant date fair value is computed by multiplying the target number of units by the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the grant date, based on the Company’s determination that performance at target would be the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date. The grant date fair value for the 2011 performance-based restricted stock units for the Named Executive Officers receiving such awards would be as follows if the maximum performance were achieved for the 2011 performance period: Mr. Rooke — $5,934,182; Mr. Gamble — $1,246,573; Mr. Canning — $1,246,573; Mr. Foresti — $674,569; and Mr. Patton — $729,797. Refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis “2011 Long-Term Incentive Awards” section for further detail. At its meeting on February 22, 2012, the

35

Compensation and Pension Committee reviewed and certified the business results for the 2011 performance-based restricted stock unit awards, and determined that minimum performance had not been attained for the performance period. Therefore, no 2011 performance-based restricted stock units were earned and the awards were cancelled. In connection with Dr. Curlander’s retirement from the Company, the Compensation and Pension Committee, at its meeting on February 23, 2011, accelerated the vesting of the second and third tranches of Dr. Curlander’s 2010 performance-based restricted stock unit award, resulting in a modification of the award. The value reported in 2011 reflects the incremental value of the 2010 performance-based restricted stock unit award, which has been calculated in accordance with the provisions of the FASB guidance on share-based payments and related interpretations. At its meeting on February 23, 2011, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviewed and certified the business results for the 2010 performance-based restricted stock unit awards, and determined that maximum performance had been attained for the performance period. At its meeting on February 17, 2010, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviewed and certified the business results for the 2009 performance-based restricted stock unit awards, and determined that minimum performance had not been attained for the performance period. Therefore, no 2009 performance-based restricted stock units were earned and the awards were cancelled.

(3) Consists of the grant date fair value dollar amount computed in accordance with the provisions of the FASB guidance on share-based payments and related interpretations for all stock options granted during the years presented above. The grant date fair value was established using the Black-Scholes stock option valuation model.

(4) For 2011, consists of annual incentive compensation under the Lexmark International, Inc. Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. There was no cash-based long-term incentive plan for 2009-2011.

For 2010, consists of annual incentive compensation under the Lexmark International, Inc. Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and the payment under the 2008-2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan as detailed in the table that follows:

Name	2010 Annual  Incentive Compensation		2008-2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan		Total Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation
P.A. Rooke	$	1,018,491	$	944,300	$	1,962,791

(1) The award opportunity for the 2011 performance period for each Named Executive Officer under the Lexmark International, Inc. Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“SEICP”) is 0.6% of the Company’s Operating Income, which may be reduced by the Compensation and Pension Committee, in its sole discretion, based on any factors it deems reasonable. For 2011, the Compensation and Pension Committee has determined that annual incentive awards may be subject to reduction based on the factors set forth in the Company’s 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan. Based on those possible reduction factors, the first row for each Named Executive Officer in this column, entitled “Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards,” consists of potential future payments of annual incentive compensation with respect to fiscal year 2011 under the SEICP.

(2) Performance-based restricted stock unit awards in 2011 are granted under the Lexmark International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). The performance measure for these units is worldwide free cash flow, excluding all acquisition activity and pension contributions. The performance period is January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. Vesting and settlement of any earned performance-based restricted stock units will occur in three approximately equal installments (34%, 33%, 33%, respectively) on February 24, 2012, February 24, 2014 and February 24, 2015. Target levels are set based on 100% achievement of the goal. Threshold represents goal achievement at the minimum performance level (50%) and maximum represents goal achievement at the maximum performance level (150%). If threshold performance is not achieved during the performance period, then no performance shares will be earned. The number of performance shares earned would be interpolated in the event that the Company’s performance varied between threshold and maximum, as determined by the Compensation and Pension Committee. At its meeting on February 22, 2012, the Compensation and Pension Committee reviewed and certified the business results for the performance-based restricted stock unit awards, and determined that minimum performance had not been attained for the performance period. Therefore, no performance-based restricted stock units were earned and the awards were cancelled.

(3) Restricted stock unit awards in 2011 are granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units granted February 23, 2011, vest and settle in three approximately equal installments (34%, 33%, 33%, respectively) on February 24, 2013, February 24, 2014 and February 24, 2015.

(4) Unless otherwise noted, the values for restricted stock units and deferred stock units were determined by multiplying the number of units granted by the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value for performance-based restricted stock units was determined by multiplying the number of performance units at target, which was determined to be the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date, by the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the grant date.

38

(5) Award consists of supplemental deferred stock units granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. Mr. Foresti elected to defer 100% of his 2010 incentive compensation in excess of $100,000 into deferred stock units, and therefore was granted an additional 20% in supplemental units. The supplemental deferred stock units will become 100% vested on the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

(6) Dr. Curlander’s potential future payment of annual incentive compensation with respect to fiscal year 2011 is based on a full year of employment. Because Dr. Curlander retired, he will be entitled to a pro rata portion of annual incentive compensation for the year of his retirement based on the actual attainment of the performance objectives for the performance period and his earnings through April 30, 2011, the date of his retirement.

Employment Agreements

The Company entered into employment agreements with Dr. Curlander and Mr. Rooke, effective October 26, 2010, and with each of the other Named Executive Officers, effective November 1, 2010. The employment agreements for each Named Executive Officer provide for a fixed term of employment through October 31, 2012 (April 30, 2011 for Dr. Curlander). Thereafter, each Named Executive Officer’s employment shall continue at will. A description of the material terms and the payments provided for under the employment agreements for each of the Named Executive Officers is detailed in the section entitled “Termination and Change in Control Payments.”

Indemnification Agreements

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of the Named Executive Officers, which require the Company to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise as a result of their status or service as directors and/or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. The indemnification protection commences on the date of the agreement and continues through the later of ten years after the Named Executive Officer’s termination of employment or the final termination of any Proceeding, as defined in the agreement, then pending in which the Named Executive Officer is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses or any Proceeding commenced by the Named Executive Officer seeking indemnification or payment of expenses.

(1) The tax-qualified plan refers to the Lexmark Retirement Growth Account Plan (RGA). The non-qualified plan refers to the Lexmark Nonqualified Supplemental Retirement Plan (SERP).

(2) Reflects credited service frozen as of April 3, 2006 for benefit accrual purposes for RGA and SERP Plans. Actual years of service through December 31, 2011 are 31.6 for Mr. Rooke, 6.3 for Mr. Gamble, 12.9 for Mr. Canning, 8.7 for Mr. Foresti, and 10.9 for Mr. Patton. Dr. Curlander had 36.9 years of actual service through April 30, 2011, the date of his retirement.

(3) The values are based on benefits accrued as of December 31, 2011. Key assumptions used in valuing the benefits are as follows:

Ÿ Discount rates were 4.50% for the RGA and 4.35% for the SERP.

Ÿ Post-retirement mortality rates were based on the mortality tables used for Pension Protection Act target liability purposes for 2012, as prescribed by the IRS. No pre-retirement mortality rates were assumed.

Ÿ The interest crediting rate on a participant’s cash balance account was assumed to be 5.0% in 2012 and later years.

Ÿ Retirement is assumed to occur at the age the participant is first eligible for unreduced benefits.

Ÿ Benefits were assumed to be paid as a lump sum to participants eligible only for cash balance benefits. Other participants are assumed to elect the payment form (lump sum or annuity) which produces the higher value.

Lexmark Retirement Growth Account Plan

The Lexmark Retirement Plan was amended and restated as the Lexmark Retirement Growth Account Plan effective January 1, 1998. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan that provides all vested eligible employees with retirement income. An initial Retirement Growth Account balance was established for each Lexmark Retirement Plan participant as of January 1, 1998. The cash balance benefit is based on the opening account balance and annual contribution credits of 6% of eligible earnings for up to 35 years of service. Cash balance benefits also include an interest component that is based on the 1-year Constant Treasury Maturity rates plus 1%, subject to a minimum of 4%. Eligible earnings include salary, commission payments and recurring payments under any form of variable compensation plan, short-term incentive pay and exclude compensation deferred under any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan, special awards, long-term incentive compensation, and gains on stock option exercises. Includable earnings are limited by the amount under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17).

43

Effective April 3, 2006, annual contribution credits were discontinued and the Retirement Growth Account Plan was frozen. Interest will continue to accrue on individual Retirement Growth Account balances until the participant begins receiving a benefit under the plan. Upon leaving the Company after the participant has become vested, the participant may elect an annuity funded by the Retirement Growth Account balance or a lump sum of the Retirement Growth Account balance. Vesting occurs after 3 years of continuous service. The full annuity benefit is payable in the form of a life annuity. Alternative annuity payment forms, such as joint and survivor annuities and Social Security leveling options, are available on an actuarially equivalent basis. Lump sum amounts are equal to the better of the value of the cash balance account under the Retirement Growth Account Plan or the present value of annuity benefits accrued as of December 31, 1999 under the Lexmark Retirement Plan, with such present value determined using a discount rate based on 30-year Treasury rates, an IRS-prescribed mortality table and an assumed retirement age of 65.

The Lexmark Retirement Plan was designed to provide a monthly retirement income based on service and earnings. Benefits under this plan were frozen on December 31, 1999. The retirement benefit under the Lexmark Retirement Plan is calculated as the sum of a Core Retirement Benefit (for employees hired before January 1, 1993), a career average formula based upon an employee’s credited service and earnings (frozen on December 31, 1999), and a Personal Retirement Provision, which provided annual allocations based upon an employee’s earnings and guaranteed interest credits. Upon retirement, benefits for employees hired before January 1, 1993 are calculated under the prior plan provisions and under the provisions effective January 1, 1998. Participants receive benefits equal to the greater of the two calculations. The prior plan formula generally provided an annuity benefit equal to 1.35% of 5-year average earnings through 1996 times service through 1996 plus 1.35% of pay earned in years 1997 through 1999. In addition, the prior plan provided a cash balance benefit based on contribution credits of 5% of pay in 1991 up to $7,500, 1% of pay in 1992, 2% of pay in 1993 and 3% of pay in 1994 through 1999 plus interest credits based on 1-year Treasury Bill rates plus 1.5%, subject to a minimum of 4%. Participants hired between January 1, 1993 and January 1, 1998 only received the cash balance benefit under the prior plan.

Normal retirement age is the later of age 65 or the completion of 3 years of continuous service, as defined in the plan. Under the prior plan provisions applicable to employees hired before January 1, 1993, early retirement eligibility occurs at the earliest of 30 years of continuous service, age 55 with 15 years of continuous service or age 62 with 5 years of continuous service. There is no early retirement reduction after 30 years of continuous service or attainment of age 60. Prior to 30 years of continuous service or attainment of age 60, the early retirement reduction is 2% per year of early commencement. The only Named Executive Officer who is currently eligible for early retirement benefits under the prior plan provision is Mr. Rooke. Dr. Curlander was eligible for early retirement benefits upon his retirement from the Company, effective April 30, 2011.

Lexmark Nonqualified Supplemental Retirement Plan

The Company has adopted a Supplemental Retirement Plan to pay retirement benefits which would have been paid under the Lexmark Retirement Growth Account Plan if not for the eligible compensation limits as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17). These benefits are paid out of the general funds of the Company. Annual contribution credits were discontinued as of April 3, 2006 when the Retirement Growth Account Plan was frozen.

To comply with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the final regulations issued thereunder, the Company amended and restated the Nonqualified Supplemental Retirement Plan, effective January 1, 2009. In accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the Company grandfathered any benefits that were accrued and vested as of December 31, 2004. The distribution of grandfathered benefits shall be made at the same time and in the same form of benefit as the participant’s benefit under the Retirement Growth Account Plan. For administrative purposes, the Company determined that the non-grandfathered benefits (benefits which were accrued but not vested as of January 1, 2005, and benefits that were accrued between January 1, 2005 and the date benefits under the Nonqualified Supplemental Retirement Plan were frozen on April 3, 2006) would be distributed in a single lump sum payment in January 2009 for any Participant who did not have a Core Retirement Benefit under the Lexmark Retirement Plan. Any other non-grandfathered benefits will be distributed in a lump sum distribution on the first day of the seventh month after a participant’s separation from service.

Deferred Stock Units

The Company permits eligible employees, including each of the Named Executive Officers, to elect to defer up to 100% of their annual incentive compensation under the Lexmark International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, and receive an award of deferred stock units. The number of elective deferred stock units credited to a participant’s account shall be determined by dividing the amount of incentive compensation deferred by the participant by the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the grant date, rounded to the nearest whole share. A participant who makes a deferred stock unit election shall also receive a supplemental award of deferred stock units upon deferral with a value equal to 20% of the incentive compensation deferred. The elective deferred stock units are fully vested at all times. The supplemental deferred stock units awarded to a participant shall become vested on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, subject to the participant’s continued employment. The supplemental deferred stock units shall also become vested upon termination of employment due to the participant’s death or disability. Both the elective and vested supplemental deferred stock units shall settle (i.e., one share of Common Stock shall be issued) on the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the grant date or the date of the participant’s termination of employment due to death, disability, or retirement (or six months and one day after termination of employment due to retirement, if the participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A). Mr. Foresti was the only Named Executive Officer to make an election to defer his incentive compensation and receive an award of deferred stock units with respect to 2010 incentive compensation. As of December 31, 2011, Mr. Foresti has 10,056 deferred stock units and associated dividend equivalent units outstanding.

Lexmark Supplemental Savings and Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains the Lexmark Supplemental Savings and Deferred Compensation Plan, a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which permits eligible employees to voluntarily defer up to 100% of their eligible compensation, including base salary, commission payments and annual incentive compensation, in excess of the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17) limit ($245,000 in 2011). Each of the Named Executive Officers participates in the plan. Participants who elect to defer their eligible compensation receive a Company matching contribution equal to 100% of such deferrals up to 6% of their eligible compensation in excess of the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17) limit.

Amounts deferred by participants under the plan, and the related Company matching contributions, are fully vested. Any Company matching contributions made for any plan year commencing on or after January 1, 2009, shall be forfeited by a participant for violating the terms of any restrictive covenants set forth in the participant’s employment agreement or change in control agreement or, if the participant is not subject to an employment agreement or change in control agreement, for violating the Company’s Code of Business Conduct.

Each participant’s account maintained under the plan is credited with an annual rate of return that is calculated using the Merrill Lynch 7-10 year A-rated corporate bond index (“Merrill-Lynch Rate”), determined as of the last business day of the month of November of the prior year. However, the annual rate of return shall

45

not exceed 120% of the long-term applicable federal rate (“AFR”) as determined under Internal Revenue Code Section 1274(d) or any other rate above which such earnings would be considered “above-market” or “preferential” pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the Merrill-Lynch Rate exceeded the 120% long-term AFR, the rate for crediting interest to participants’ accounts for 2011 was limited to the 120% long-term AFR (3.95%).

On their annual deferral agreement, participants may elect to receive a distribution of amounts deferred under the plan for the year, and related Company matching contributions, in either a lump sum or in annual installments. The distribution for a participant’s elective deferrals shall be made or, with respect to annual installments, commence on any date specified by the participant (subject to a three-year minimum deferral period) or on the first day of the seventh month following the participant’s separation from service, as elected by the participant on his annual deferral agreement. The distribution of a participant’s matching contribution shall be made or, with respect to annual installments, commence on the first day of the seventh month following the participant’s separation from service, or such later date as specified by the participant. In the event of an unforeseeable emergency, as defined in the plan, participants may request a hardship distribution up to an amount necessary to satisfy the emergency need and to pay applicable taxes on the distribution. Participants (or their beneficiaries, as applicable) shall receive a lump sum distribution of their account balance as soon as administratively practicable after the occurrence of their death or disability, or after the effective date of a change in control of the Company.

TERMINATION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL PAYMENTS

The Company has entered into certain arrangements and maintains certain plans that will require the Company to provide compensation to Named Executive Officers in the event of a termination of employment or a change in control of the Company. The Compensation and Pension Committee considers the termination and change in control arrangements to be in the best interest of stockholders to ensure that the Company is able to attract outstanding talent to serve in key management positions and to ensure the retention and focus of key management in the event of a change in control of the Company. The table below reflects the estimated amount of compensation payable to each Named Executive Officer in the event of termination of employment under various scenarios. The amount of compensation payable assumes that termination was effective as of December 31, 2011 and includes amounts earned through such time.

47

Accrued Payments and Retirement Benefits

Potential payments in the table above do not include payments and benefits payable to each Named Executive Officer upon termination or a change in control that are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to employees, including the following:

• Accrued salary and vacation pay,

• Regular pension benefits (see the section entitled “Pension Benefits” for details on these plans), and

• Distributions of balances under the Lexmark Savings Plan, a tax-qualified 401(k) plan,

• Distributions of balances under the Lexmark Supplemental Savings and Deferred Compensation Plan (see the section entitled “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” for details on this plan).

Retirement

In the event of termination due to retirement, the executive will be entitled to a pro rata portion of annual incentive compensation for the year of termination. The amount of the annual incentive compensation payment shall be based on the actual attainment of the performance objectives for the performance period and the executive’s earnings through the date of retirement. With respect to any earned performance-based restricted stock units, the units will become vested and settle six months and one day after retirement. No Named Executive Officer had met the age and/or service requirements for retirement vesting of the performance-based restricted stock units as of December 31, 2011. In addition, certain executives, including each Named Executive Officer other than Mr. Patton, received stock option grants containing a preferential vesting provision that provides for stock options to continue to vest for 24 months following retirement if at the time of retirement the executive has 30 years of continuous service, is 58 years of age or older and has ten years of continuous service, or is 65 years of age or older, and the executive agrees to the cancellation of any option grant awarded within 12 months prior to the executive’s retirement date. Mr. Rooke was the only Named Executive Officer to have met the age and/or service requirements for preferential vesting as of December 31, 2011.

The amount payable to each executive at retirement in the table above reflects the actual annual incentive compensation payment for the 2011 performance period. The amount in the table above for equity-based long-term incentive compensation reflects the in-the-money portion of stock options, calculated using the closing price of the Common Stock on December 31, 2011 ($33.07), that would vest during the preferential vesting period without regard to the cancellation of any stock option awarded within 12 months prior to the executive’s retirement date. All unvested restricted stock units granted prior to 2009 will be forfeited upon retirement. Restricted stock units granted in 2009 or later years will become vested and settle six months and one day after retirement. Based on the definition of retirement set forth in the performance-based restricted stock unit award agreement, Mr. Rooke was the only Named Executive Officer to have met the age and/or service requirements for retirement vesting of the performance-based restricted stock units as of December 31, 2011. No Named Executive Officer had met the age and/or service requirements for retirement vesting of the time-based restricted stock units as of December 31, 2011.

Termination by Employer Without Cause or Termination by Employee for Good Reason

Each of the Named Executive Officers has entered into an employment agreement with the Company, effective October 26, 2010 for Dr. Curlander and Mr. Rooke, and effective November 1, 2010 for each of the other Named Executive Officers. The standard form of employment agreement provides for a fixed term of employment through October 31, 2012 (April 30, 2011 for Dr. Curlander). Thereafter, each Named Executive Officer’s employment shall continue at will. The employment agreement determines the potential payments due to each Named Executive Officer in the event of an involuntary termination by the Company Without Cause and a termination by the Named Executive Officer for Good Reason, as such terms are defined in the employment agreement. If a Named Executive Officer is terminated by the Company Without Cause or terminates for Good Reason, the terms of the employment agreement provide that the executive will continue to receive payments of base salary for a period equal to the greater of one year or the remaining term of the employment agreement. The Named Executive Officer may also be entitled to payment of a pro rata portion of the annual incentive

48

compensation for the year of termination, calculated based on the actual achievement of the performance objectives, as certified by the Compensation and Pension Committee. The obligation of the Company to make any payments to the Named Executive Officer is conditioned upon the receipt of an approved general release and covenant not to sue.

Change in Control

Each of the Named Executive Officers has entered into a Change in Control Agreement with the Company, effective as of October 26, 2010 for Dr. Curlander and Mr. Rooke and effective as of November 1, 2010 for each of the other Named Executive Officers. Dr. Curlander’s Change in Control Agreement with the Company expired upon his retirement with the Company, effective April 30, 2011. The Change in Control Agreement determines the potential payments due to each Named Executive Officer if, within 12 months prior to a Change in Control, the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company in connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control, or within 24 months after a Change in Control (the “CIC Protection Period”), the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or the executive under certain circumstances. The Lexmark International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan determines the potential payments due to each Named Executive Officer upon a Change in Control with respect to Incentive Awards made under such plan.

Generally, a Change in Control is deemed to occur under both the Change in Control Agreement and the Lexmark International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan in any of the following events:

(1) A majority of members of the Board at any time cease for any reason other than due to death or disability to be persons who were members of the Board twenty-four months prior to such time;

(2) Any “person,” including a “group” is or becomes the “beneficial owner,” directly or indirectly, including without limitation, by means of a tender or exchange offer, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;

(3) The stockholders of the Company shall approve a definitive agreement (i) that results in the merger or other business combination of the Company with or into another corporation immediately following which merger or combination (A) the stock of the surviving entity is not readily tradable on an established securities market, (B) a majority of the directors of the surviving entity are persons who (x) were not directors of the Company immediately prior to the merger and (y) are not nominees or representatives of the Company or (C) any “person,” including a “group” is or becomes the “beneficial owner,” directly or indirectly, of 30% or more of the securities of the surviving entity or (ii) for the direct or indirect sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(4) Approval of the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

A Change in Control will not be deemed to occur in the event the Company files for bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or if any executive, or any entity in which the executive is a partner, officer or more than 50% owner, initiates any transaction or series of transactions that would otherwise constitute a Change in Control and directly or indirectly owns more than 10% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from such action, or of the combined voting power of then outstanding voting securities of the Company or such resulting corporation.

With respect to the payment upon a Change in Control of any Section 409A Incentive Award under the Lexmark International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, such amount shall become payable only if the event constituting a Change in Control would also constitute a “change in the ownership” of the Company, a “change

49

in the effective control” of the Company, or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations issued thereunder.

Cash Severance Payments.     Under the terms of the Change in Control Agreement, the executive will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment, six months and one day following the executive’s involuntary termination by the Company for any reason other than Cause or termination by the executive for Good Reason during the CIC Protection Period, in an amount equal to the sum of the following: (a)(1) the executive’s accrued but unpaid annual base salary as of the date of termination, (2) the executive’s unpaid annual incentive compensation with respect to a completed fiscal year, and (3) a pro rata portion of the annual incentive compensation for the year of termination, calculated assuming the greater of (x) 100% of the Company’s financial objectives are achieved in such fiscal year or (y) the actual attainment of the Company’s financial objectives as of the date of termination are achieved in such fiscal year, in each case without regard to personal attainment, and (b) three times (two times in the case of Messrs. Foresti and Patton) the sum of the executive’s annual base salary and 100% of the executive’s annual incentive compensation target, calculated assuming the Company attained its financial targets and disregarding personal attainment goals. The amount reflected in the table is calculated in the same manner as a payment for involuntary termination.

Equity-Based Long-Term Incentive Compensation.     Under the terms of the Lexmark International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, any Stock Incentive Awards, vested and unvested, will be cancelled promptly and a payment in cash for the difference in the exercise price and the Change in Control price will be made to the executive. The Compensation and Pension Committee may, with the consent of the executive, substitute an Alternative Award, as defined in the plan, instead of making a cash payment.

Benefits and Perquisites.     Under the terms of the Change in Control Agreement, for a period of three years (two years in the case of Messrs. Foresti and Patton) following the executive’s termination, the Company will be obligated to continue to provide at least the same level of benefits (including medical, dental, disability, and insurance plans and programs) that were provided during the executive’s employment, or if more favorable to the executive, as in effect thereafter.

In the interest of complying with best pay practices, the Company and each of the Named Executive Officers agreed to a new form of Change in Control Agreement in 2010 to eliminate the excise tax “gross up” provisions set forth in their predecessor agreements. The new form of agreement provides that to the extent that any payments and benefits to the executive under the Change in Control Agreement would trigger an excise tax to the executive, such payments and benefits shall (i) be paid to the executive in full or (ii) reduced to an amount that would result in no portion of the payments and benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever amount results in the best net after-tax benefit to the executive.

Death or Disability

In the event of termination due to death or disability during the performance period, the executive will be entitled to a pro rata portion of the annual incentive compensation for the year of termination. The amount of the annual incentive compensation payment shall be based on the actual attainment of the performance objectives for the performance period. The amount payable to each Named Executive Officer at termination due to death or disability reflected in the table above assumes that the Company achieved target attainment for the performance period. The vested portion of any stock options outstanding at the time of an executive’s termination due to death or disability will be exercisable for 12 months following termination and the unvested portion will be forfeited. However, for stock options subject to preferential vesting, the vested portion of any stock options outstanding at the end of the preferential vesting period will be exercisable for 12 months following the preferential vesting period. With respect to any earned but unvested performance-based restricted stock units and any unvested restricted stock units granted in 2009 or later, the units will become vested and settle upon the Named Executive Officer’s termination due to death or disability. All unvested restricted stock units granted prior to 2009 will be forfeited upon the Named Executive Officer’s termination due to death or disability.

Material Terms Affecting Payments

The executive is subject to forfeiture of realized and unrealized gains on Stock Incentive Awards for violating certain provisions of the employment agreement, including:

(1) Unauthorized disclosure of any confidential or proprietary non-public information obtained by the executive while employed by the Company;

(2) Becoming employed by, serving as an agent for, or consulting with an entity that competes with the Company within the greater of (a) a period equal to the number of months providing the basis for calculating any severance payments, if such payments are required or (b) a 12 month period following termination; and

(3) Within 36 months from termination, soliciting any person or entity who or which is employed by the Company or intentionally interfering with the Company’s relationship with any person or entity who or which has been a customer, client or supplier of the Company within the previous 36 months.

If the executive violates any of these restrictions then all stock incentive awards held by the executive terminate upon the date of the violation, all gains realized on the vesting of restricted stock, deferred stock units and stock option gains within 18 months preceding the earlier of the violation or the date of termination through the later of 18 months following the violation and such time of the discovery of the violation, shall be paid to the Company. Similar provisions are included in each executive’s Stock Incentive Award agreements, Long-Term Incentive Plan agreements, and Change in Control Agreement.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The Company’s policy is to pay compensation only to those Directors who are not also employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated with any principal stockholder of the Company (each, an “Eligible Director”). All Directors are, however, reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings.

Annually, the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee reviews the Company’s Director Compensation Policy and peer group data to determine whether to recommend to the Board of Directors any adjustments to the compensation for Eligible Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that each Eligible Director’s total compensation should be nominally targeted at the 50^th percentile of the peer group compensation. Based upon its review of peer group data, the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee recommended that the Board amend the Director Compensation Policy to increase the annual retainers for the presiding director and the chairs of the Finance and Audit Committee and the Compensation and Pension Committee and to increase the annual equity award for Eligible Directors. The Board of Directors adopted the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee’s recommendations and amended the Director Compensation Policy for 2011.

Consistent with prior years, the Director Compensation Policy provides that the compensation each Eligible Director of the Company shall receive includes an annual retainer of $50,000, a daily attendance fee of $2,500 for attendance at Board and any committee meetings held on the same day, a daily attendance fee of $2,000 ($2,500 for Finance and Audit Committee members) for attendance at any committee meetings which were not held on the same day as a Board meeting and $750 per meeting for participation in telephonic meetings. Any such Eligible Director who served as the chair of a committee also received an annual retainer of $20,000 (increased from $15,000 in 2010) for the Finance and Audit Committee Chair, $12,000 (increased from $10,000 in 2010) for the Compensation and Pension Committee Chair, and $10,000 for the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee Chair. The Presiding Director received an annual retainer of $15,000 (increased from $10,000 in 2010). Cash payments are made to each Eligible Director on a quarterly basis, as calculated on the last day of each calendar quarter.

In addition, each Eligible Director has the opportunity to participate in the Company’s 2005 Nonemployee Director Stock Plan (the “Director Plan”). Upon election to the Board, each Eligible Director of the Company receives a one-time grant of restricted stock units as the initial equity award under the Director Plan. The number of restricted stock units granted as the initial equity award for an Eligible Director elected in any calendar year is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The Director Compensation Policy currently provides that the number of restricted stock units to be granted pursuant to the initial equity award is determined by dividing $150,000 by the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant, rounded up to the nearest whole unit. The restricted stock units granted pursuant to the initial equity award vest in whole on the sixth anniversary of the Eligible Director joining the Board and settle upon termination of the Eligible Director’s status as a Board member.

Under the Director Plan, each Eligible Director is also eligible to receive an annual equity award on the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for service as a Board member through the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Director Compensation Policy provides that the annual equity award shall be granted in the form of restricted stock units. Under the Director Compensation Policy approved by the Board of Directors in February 2011, the number of restricted stock units to be granted to each Eligible Director pursuant to the annual equity award shall be determined by dividing $125,000 (increased from $100,000 in 2010) by the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant, rounded up to the nearest whole unit. For Eligible Directors appointed to the Board at any time after the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the annual equity award will be prorated for the remaining months of service until the next scheduled Annual Meeting of Stockholders based on the dollar value of the annual equity award grant granted to Directors at the time of the preceding Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Restricted stock units granted pursuant to the annual equity award become fully vested on the date immediately prior to the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, based on continued Board service through such

52

date, and 34% of the restricted stock units will settle on the second anniversary of the date of grant and 33% will settle on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, unless an Eligible Director elects to further defer settlement.

In addition, each Eligible Director may elect to defer payment of all or a portion of the annual retainer, attendance and meeting fees (the “Annual Fees”) and to receive in lieu thereof a grant of deferred stock units equal to the amount of Annual Fees so deferred, divided by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the deferred stock units, rounded up to the nearest whole unit. Deferred stock units are granted to each Eligible Director electing annually to defer retainer and/or attendance fees, with such deferred stock units being granted at the end of each calendar quarter when cash payments would otherwise be made and at the price of the Common Stock at such time.

The Board has implemented stock ownership guidelines encouraging Directors to own at least that number of shares of Common Stock having a value of five times the annual retainer payable to a nonemployee Board member. Each Eligible Director is encouraged to reach this guideline ownership level within two to four years of becoming a member of the Board.

The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its Directors, which requires the Company to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise as a result of their status or service as Directors of the Company. The Company also pays the premiums on the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.

Directors are also eligible to participate in the Lexmark Employee Purchase Program, which provides certain discounts for the purchase of Lexmark printers and printer supplies, on the same basis as employees of the Company.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE

Through March 15, 2011, the Finance and Audit Committee (the “Committee”) was comprised of three nonemployee directors, Messrs. Coleman, Hardis and Maples. On March 15, 2011, Ms. Helton was appointed to the Committee.

The Committee operates pursuant to a written charter which can be found on the Company’s Investor Relations website at http://investor.lexmark.com. After reviewing the qualifications of the Committee members, and any relationships that they may have with the Company that might affect their independence from the Company, the Board of Directors has determined that (i) all Committee members are “independent” as that term is defined by Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, (ii) all Committee members are “financially literate” as that term is defined by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and (iii) each of Ms. Helton and Messrs. Coleman, Hardis, and Maples is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by the applicable rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Company management has primary responsibility for preparing the Company’s financial statements and the financial reporting process, including establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “Independent Auditors”), is responsible for performing an audit and expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s audited financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and performing an audit and expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and review these processes, acting in an oversight capacity. In this context, during 2011 the Committee met nine times and held separate discussions with management, the Company’s internal auditors and the Independent Auditors. The Committee discussed with the Company’s internal auditors and the Independent Auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Committee met regularly with the internal auditors and the Independent Auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their respective examinations, their evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Committee discussed with the Independent Auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1 AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. The Committee received and reviewed a report prepared by the Independent Auditors describing the firm’s internal quality control procedures and any material issues raised by the firm’s most recent internal quality-control review and peer review of the firm. The Committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the Independent Auditors required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the Independent Auditors’ communications with the Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the Independent Auditors the Independent Auditors’ independence. The Committee also considered whether the provision of the non-audit services provided by the Independent Auditors is compatible with the Independent Auditors’ independence.

In discharging its duties, the Committee met with management of the Company and PwC and reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The Committee also discussed with PwC the critical accounting policies and practices used in the preparation of the Company’s audited financial statements. Management and PwC have represented to the Committee that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based on the review and discussions with management, the internal auditors and the Independent Auditors referred to above, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Committee referred to above and in the Committee Charter, the Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements of the Company in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Vote Required

Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s Independent Auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented and entitled to vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” this proposal. Signed proxies will be voted “FOR” this Proposal, unless stockholders specify a different choice in their proxies.

Summary

The Finance and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s Independent Auditors to audit its consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and express an opinion thereon for the 2012 fiscal year. During the 2011 fiscal year, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as the Company’s Independent Auditors and also provided certain tax services. The aggregate fees billed or to be billed to the Company by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for services performed during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

	2011		2010
Audit Fees(1)	$	3,700,000	$	4,318,000
Audit-Related Fees(2)		36,000		0
Tax Fees(3)		0		602,000
All Other Fees(4)		275,000		183,000

(1) Audit Fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements and review of the interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

(2) Audit-Related Fees consist of fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include certain attest audits and accounting consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

(3) Tax Fees consist of fees for federal, state and international tax compliance, tax consulting and expatriate tax services. For 2010, Tax Fees also included tax advisory and planning services provided to the Company in connection with the acquisition of Perceptive Software.

(4) For 2011, All Other Fees consist of accounting and tax due diligence services provided in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Pallas Athena. For 2010, All Other Fees consist of accounting and tax due diligence services provided in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Perceptive Software.

All fees for services incurred in 2011 were approved by the Finance and Audit Committee. The Finance and Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the Independent Auditors’ independence. A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will have an opportunity to make a statement and to respond to appropriate questions. Although the Company is not required to seek stockholder approval of this appointment, the Board believes it to be sound corporate governance to do so. If the appointment is not ratified, the Finance and Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment.

Policy Regarding Finance and Audit Committee Preapproval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services

In April 2003, the Finance and Audit Committee adopted a policy regarding the preapproval of all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Company by the Independent Auditors. The Finance and Audit Committee amended such policy in February 2006. On an annual basis, the Finance and Audit Committee is required to review and consider for approval the annual audit engagement terms and fees for the coming year, which includes the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements (including required quarterly reviews) and required subsidiary audits. At the same time, the Committee also reviews and considers for approval annually recurring and planned audit-related and tax services to be provided to the Company in the coming year. All of the services reviewed and approved on an annual basis are approved at an estimated fee and require additional preapproval by the Committee during the year if the estimated fee is expected to be exceeded. The authority to preapprove any services exceeding previously approved budgeted amounts by $50,000 or less is delegated to the Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee, provided that such preapprovals are reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. All other permissible services to be provided by the Independent Auditors at a fee not to exceed $50,000 may be specifically preapproved by the Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee, and reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

In considering the preapproval of services to be provided by the Independent Auditors, the Finance and Audit Committee is mindful of the relationship between fees for audit and non-audit services, and may determine for each fiscal year the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for audit, audit-related and tax services and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services classified as all other services.

PROPOSAL 3

STOCKHOLDER ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In 2009, the Board of Directors adopted a Corporate Governance Principle, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, to annually provide stockholders with the opportunity to approve the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers through consideration of the following non-binding advisory resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby APPROVED.

As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, the Compensation and Pension Committee’s goal in setting executive compensation is to provide total compensation opportunities that are market competitive and supportive of the Company’s strategy to attract, develop, motivate and retain outstanding executive talent. The Company’s executive compensation programs are centered on a pay-for-performance culture that are designed to reward executive officers for superior Company and individual performance while encouraging behavior that is in the long-term best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Consistent with this philosophy, a significant portion of each executive officer’s total compensation opportunity is performance-based and dependent upon the Company’s achievement of specified financial goals and the performance of the Common Stock on a long-term basis.

Stockholders are encouraged to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, which discusses the Company’s compensation plans and programs that have been designed to implement the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, as well as the Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narrative disclosure, which describe the compensation of each of the Named Executive Officers. The Compensation and Pension Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the compensation plans and programs articulated in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement are effective in implementing the Company’s executive compensation philosophy and that the compensation of the Named Executive Officers in 2011 reflects and supports such philosophy.

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board of Directors. However, the Compensation and Pension Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

• THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION SET FORTH IN THIS PROPOSAL THREE.

• UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED ON YOUR PROXY, YOUR SHARES WILL BE VOTED “FOR” THE ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

PROPOSAL 4

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL

ANNUAL ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Treasurer of the State of North Carolina Equity Investment Fund Pooled Trust represented by the North Carolina State Treasurer, the fiduciary for the North Carolina Retirement Systems, a beneficial owner of 166,469 shares of Lexmark International, Inc. Class A Common Stock as of the date of the proposal, has notified the Company that it intends to present the following proposal at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company sets forth below the text of the proposal and the supporting statement. The Board and the Company accept no responsibility for the text of the proposal and the supporting statement. The Board’s unanimous recommendation that you vote against such stockholder proposal immediately follows the proposal.

Vote Required

If the proponent appears and the following stockholder proposal is presented at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approval of the proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock represented and entitled to vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting.

RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Lexmark International, Inc. urge the board of directors to take all necessary steps (other than any steps that must be taken by shareholders) to eliminate the classification of the Board of Directors and to require that all directors elected at or after the annual meeting held in 2013 be elected on an annual basis. Implementation of this proposal should not prevent any director elected prior to the annual meeting held in 2013 from completing the term for which such director was elected.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

This resolution was submitted on behalf of the Treasurer of the State of North Carolina Equity Investment Fund Pooled Trust by the North Carolina State Treasurer, the investment fiduciary for the North Carolina Retirement System. The Harvard Law School Shareholder Rights Project represented and advised the North Carolina State Treasurer in connection with this resolution.

The resolution urges the board of directors to facilitate a declassification of the board. Such a change would enable shareholders to register their views on the performance of all directors at each annual meeting. Having directors stand for elections annually makes directors more accountable to shareholders, and could thereby contribute to improving performance and increasing firm value.

Over the past decade, many S&P 500 companies have declassified their board of directors. According to data from FactSet Research Systems, the number of S&P 500 companies with classified boards declined by more than 50%; and the average percentage of votes cast in favor of shareholder proposals to declassify the boards of S&P 500 companies during the period January 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011 exceeded 75%.

The significant shareholder support for proposals to declassify boards is consistent with empirical studies reporting that classified boards could be associated with lower firm valuation and/or worse corporate decision-making. Studies report that:

• Classified boards are associated with lower firm valuation (Bebchuk and Cohen, 2005; confirmed by Faleye (2007) and Frakes (2007));

• Takeover targets with classified boards are associated with lower gains to shareholders (Bebchuk, Coates, and Subramanian, 2002);

• Firms with classified boards are more likely to be associated with value-decreasing acquisition decisions (Masulis, Wang, and Xie, 2007); and

• Classified boards are associated with lower sensitivity of compensation to performance and lower sensitivity of CEO turnover to firm performance (Faleye, 2007).

Please vote for this proposal to make directors more accountable to shareholders.

• FOR THE REASONS STATED BELOW, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “AGAINST” PROPOSAL 4.

62

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “AGAINST” the above proposal as not in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and opposes the proposal for the following reasons. Signed proxies will be voted against this proposal, unless stockholders specify a different choice in their proxies.

The Board welcomes and values the input of its stockholders. Listening and responding to stockholders is important in fulfilling the Board’s responsibilities for the oversight of the Company in an honest, fair, diligent and ethical manner. The Board believes that the classified board serves the Company and its stockholders well by fostering a strong, stable, independent Board of Directors to guide the Company in implementing its long-term strategy of growth through innovation. The Board is aware of the recent uptick of stockholder proposals urging the abandonment of the classified board system, the arguments for and against a classified board system and the strong support proposals to declassify the board often receive. With all these factors in mind, the Board and the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee has reconsidered the most effective structure for the Board and determined that the current classified board structure continues to be in the best long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders for many reasons, including the following:

• Stability and Experience

• Enhancement of Board Independence

• Accountability to Stockholders

• Protecting Stockholder Value

Stability and Experience

The classified board structure is designed to provide and promote stability, enhance long-term planning, and ensure, at any given time, that a majority of the Company’s Directors have substantial knowledge of the Company’s business and strategy. Experienced Directors are a valuable resource and, with their knowledge about the Company’s business and affairs, are better positioned to make decisions that are best for the Company and its stockholders. Without a classified board structure, the replacement of all Directors in a single year is possible, which could lead to a short-term disruption in the affairs of the Company. The recruiting process is also enhanced in that the Board believes that longer terms help attract more qualified candidates willing to commit the time and dedication necessary to understand the Company, its operations, and its competitive environment.

Enhancement of Board Independence

Eleven of the Company’s twelve Directors are independent. Electing directors to three-year terms also enhances the independence of non-management directors from management by providing them with a longer term of office. The longer term also provides a certain amount of autonomy from special interest groups who may have an agenda contrary to the Company’s long-term goals and objectives and those of a majority of stockholders. As a result, independent directors are able to make decisions that are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Accountability to Stockholders

A classified board remains accountable to the Company’s stockholders. At each Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders have the opportunity to evaluate and elect one third of the Board of Directors. Because all Directors are required to uphold their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders regardless of term, Directors elected to three-year terms are equally accountable to stockholders as Directors elected annually. Additionally, the Company’s existing By-Laws promote Director accountability to stockholders. The Company By-Laws provide that in uncontested elections any Director nominee who fails to receive a majority of votes cast “for” is required to tender his or her resignation to the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee. This Committee will consider the resignation and recommend to the Board whether or not to accept the resignation. The Directors will then make a decision regarding the resignation and publicly disclose their decision. This By-Law provides stockholders a meaningful role in the election of the Company’s Directors, ensures public disclosure of Directors’ decisions and acts as a vehicle for holding the Company’s Directors accountable for their actions or failure to act.

63

Protecting Stockholder Value

A classified board structure also strongly encourages potential acquirers to deal directly with the Company’s Board and better positions the Board to negotiate the greatest possible stockholder value. The classified board structure is designed to safeguard against a hostile purchaser gaining control of the Company and its assets without paying fair market value. Because only one-third of the Directors are elected at any Annual Meeting, it is impossible to elect an entirely new Board or a majority of the Board at a single meeting. A classified board does not preclude a takeover. Rather, it provides a company with time and leverage to evaluate the adequacy and fairness of any takeover proposal, negotiate on behalf of all stockholders and weigh alternative methods of maximizing stockholder value, including evaluating competing expressions of interest. In fact, studies suggest that classified boards may improve the relative bargaining power of managers and the board, as well as the stockholders who are the ultimate beneficiaries of such leverage, in any hostile takeover bid. See Bates, Becker and Lemmon. “Board classification and managerial entrenchment: Evidence from the market for corporate control” Journal of Financial Economics, Vol. 87, pp 656-677, 2008.

• FOR THESE REASONS, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “AGAINST” PROPOSAL 4.

Procedural Matters

It is important to note that stockholder approval of this proposal would not in itself declassify the Board of Directors. The proposal is non-binding and requests that the Board of Directors take the steps necessary to eliminate the classified board structure. To change the class structure of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors must first authorize an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Stockholders would then have to approve this amendment with majority vote of all outstanding shares of Company stock entitled to vote at a subsequent meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors will take into careful consideration the vote of the Company’s stockholders as it continually reviews this important governance matter.

64

SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

If a holder of the Common Stock wishes to present a proposal for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting, any such proposal must be received at the Company’s offices at One Lexmark Centre Drive, Lexington, Kentucky 40550, Attention: Corporate Secretary, on or before November 16, 2012. In addition, the Company’s By-Laws provide that in order for any stockholder to nominate a Director or propose to transact any corporate business at an Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholder must have given written notice, by certified mail, to the Secretary of the Company, which must be received by the Secretary of the Company not less than 60 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company first mailed its proxy materials for the preceding year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If the date of the Annual Meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the first anniversary of the preceding year’s Annual Meeting, the notice must be received by the Secretary not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the Annual Meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

PROXY SOLICITATION

The Company is making this proxy solicitation and will bear the cost of the solicitation. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by Directors, officers and regularly engaged employees or agents of the Company. The Company has also retained Georgeson Inc., 199 Water Street, 26th Floor, New York, NY 10038, to assist in the solicitation for estimated fees of approximately $9,000 plus reasonable expenses. Brokers, nominees and other similar record holders will be requested to forward solicitation material and will be reimbursed by the Company upon request for their out-of-pocket expenses.

ATTENDANCE AT ANNUAL MEETING

The 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held at 7:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, on Thursday, April 26, 2012, at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 1801 Newtown Pike, Lexington, Kentucky 40511.

Each stockholder wishing to attend the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders should be prepared to present: (1) valid photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport; and (2) stockholders holding their shares through a broker, bank, trustee or nominee will need to bring proof of beneficial ownership as of the record date, such as their most recent account statement reflecting their stock ownership as of February 29, 2012 or a copy of the voting instruction card provided by their broker, bank, trustee or nominee or similar evidence of ownership.

OTHER MATTERS

The Company will furnish to each person whose proxy is being solicited, upon written request, copies of any exhibits to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Requests in writing for copies of any such materials should be directed to Investor Relations, Lexmark International, Inc., One Lexmark Centre Drive, Lexington, Kentucky 40550.
