        <footnote id="F1">Reporting Person is filing an amendment to her Form 4, which was filed on October 4, 2016, in order to update the number of securities acquired and the amount of securities beneficially owned following the Reported Transaction.  On October 1, 2016, Lois M. Martin was awarded restricted stock units (&quot;RSUs&quot;) with a value of $68,970, pursuant to the Donnelley Financial Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan, for her service on the Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (&quot;DFS&quot;) board of directors for the remainder of 2016.  Such grant represents 3,046 RSUs calculated based on the ten trading day volume weighted average price of DFS common stock following the date of grant.  Ms. Martin's RSUs will vest one year from the date of grant. The RSUs are payable in shares of common stock one year from the date of grant or when the Reporting Person ceases to be a director, if earlier.</footnote>
