Explanation of Responses:

1. On February 22, 2016, Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("DFS"), issued all 100 outstanding shares of DFS common stock to R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company, a Delaware corporation ("RRD"). On September 30, 2016 and simultaneously with the effectiveness of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of DFS (the "Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation") that increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100 to 65,000,000, DFS effected a recapitalization (the "Recapitalization") of the 100 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which Recapitalization converted such 100 shares into 32,430,139 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of DFS (the "Common Stock").

2. On October 1, 2016 at 12:01 a.m., 26,187,337 shares of Common Stock, which was 80.75% of the Common Stock then outstanding, were distributed by RRD to its stockholders (the "Distribution"). Following the Distribution, RRD beneficially owned 6,242,802 shares of Common Stock, which was 19.25% of the then outstanding Common Stock.

3. On June 21, 2017, RRD completed a debt-for-equity exchange (the "Exchange"), pursuant to which RRD exchanged 6,143,208 shares of Common Stock and the payment of accrued interest for $111,607,000 principal amount of RRD's 7.625% Notes due 2020 held by Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, which reflected consideration of $21.25 per share of the Common Stock. Such notes were cancelled and discharged upon delivery to RRD. Immediately following the Exchange, RRD retained 99,594 shares of Common Stock.
