[1] Reflects our one-for-four reverse stock split that became effective on June 14, 2017. Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation for further information.

[2] Refer to Note 16 - Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for gross components of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), reclassification adjustments out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and related tax effects.

[3] The difference between the $30 out-of-period adjustment recorded in the first quarter 2017 and the revision adjustment of $24 in the revision table for the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily relates to the additional adjustments subsequently identified as part of the IIC review as described above.

[4] The difference between the aggregate revision to retained earnings and the $90 impact at March 31, 2017 is primarily due to currency and the impact of adjustments recorded directly by Xerox in the first quarter 2017.
