Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )Daniel N. Leib has been awarded restricted stock with a value of $2,000,000 by Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. ("DFS"). The number of shares of restricted stock awarded will be based on a ten trading day value weighted average price of DFS common stock following the date of grant. The Reporting Person will amend this Form 4 when such information is available. ( 2 )Reflects ownership of DFS common stock obtained in connection with the spinoff of DFS by R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company ("RRD") and the distribution of one (1) share of DFS common stock for every eight (8) shares of RRD common stock held prior to the spinoff, which was effective on October 1, 2016 (the "Spinoff"). Does not include restricted stock units, which are reflected as beneficially-owned and reported as shares of common stock. The number of restricted stock units over DFS common stock has not yet been determined, as restricted stock units and performance share units over RRD common stock outstanding prior to October 1, 2016 will be converted into restricted stock units over the DFS common stock to give effect to the Spinoff. ( 3 )(Continued from Footnote 2) The number of restricted stock units over the DFS common stock will be determined after the date hereof pursuant to an equitable adjustment in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of September 14, 2016, by and among RRD, LSC Communications, Inc. and DFS. The Reporting Person will amend this Form 4 when such information is available.
