        <footnote id="F1">Reporting Person is filing an amendment to his 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, Thomas F. Juhase was awarded restricted stock with a value of $530,000 by Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (&quot;DFS&quot;).  Such grant represents 23,414 shares of restricted stock calculated based on the ten trading day volume weighted average price of DFS common stock following the date of grant.   Mr. Juhase's beneficial ownership of securities also reflects 5,127 shares of common stock owned prior to the grant of restricted stock as well as 23,581 restricted stock units held prior to the date of the Reported Transaction (after giving effect to the distribution by R. R. Donnelley &amp; Sons Company of 80.75% of the common stock of LSC Communications, Inc. and DFS, which occurred on October 1, 2016.)</footnote>
