CFIUS Clearance to Proceed with Acquisition of Lexmark


    --  On Sept. 30, 2016, clearance was received from the Committee on Foreign
        Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to proceed with the proposed
        acquisition of the company. CFIUS found that there are no unresolved
        national security issues associated with the proposed transaction.
    --  As a precondition to CFIUS clearance of the transaction, CFIUS required
        that the company and the Consortium enter into a National Security
        Agreement with the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security.
    --  The transaction remains subject to approval from China's State
        Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) and other customary closing
        conditions.
    --  The parties continue to expect the transaction to close in 2016.

Looking Forward


    --  The company will not conduct quarterly conference calls while the
        transaction is pending.
    --  Upon closing, Lexmark common stock will cease to be publicly traded on
        the New York Stock Exchange.

Earnings Materials
This earnings release, including reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, will be available on Lexmark's investor relations website at http://investor.lexmark.com.

GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the company's results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company has also disclosed in this press release non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, earnings per share amounts and related income statement items which management believes provides useful information to investors. When used in this press release, "non-GAAP" Adjusted EBITDA, earnings per share amounts and related income statement items exclude restructuring charges and project costs, strategic alternatives, acquisition and divestiture-related adjustments, pension plan actuarial gains/losses, and remediation-related adjustments. The rationale for management's use of non-GAAP measures is included in Appendix A to the financial information attached hereto.

                            useful because
                            they enhance
                            investors'
                            understanding of

                            below:


                            1) Restructuring
                            charges and
                            project costs
                           In recent years,
                            the Company has
                            initiated
                            restructuring
                            plans which have
                            resulted in
                            operating
                            expenses which
                            otherwise would
                            not have been
                            incurred. The
                            size of these
                            items can vary
                            significantly
                            from period to
                            period, and the
                            Company does not
                            consider these
                            items to be part
                            of core
                            operating
                            expenses of the
                            business.
                            Restructuring
                            and related
                            charges that are
                            excluded from
                            GAAP earnings to
                            determine non-
                            GAAP earnings
                            consist of
                            accelerated

                            termination and
                            lease charges.
                            They also
                            include project
                            costs that
                            relate to the
                            execution of the
                            restructuring
                            plans. These
                            project costs
                            are incremental
                            to normal
                            operating
                            charges and are
                            expensed as
                            incurred, such
                            as compensation
                            costs for
                            overlap
                            staffing, travel
                            expenses,
                            consulting costs
                            and training
                            costs.

                            financial
                            measures of
                            revenue and
                            expenses to
                            normalize for

                            accounting rules
                            as well as to
                            exclude certain
                            expenses which
                            would not have
                            been incurred
                            otherwise.


                            a. Adjustments to
                            Revenue

                            down to fair

                            value
                            approximates the
                            cost of

                            from period to
                            period, due to
                            the mix in value
                            and useful lives

                           The Company

                            expenses that

                            the non-GAAP
                            tax rate removes

                            GAAP tax rate
                            eliminates the
