EXPLANATORY NOTE
On January 28, 2014, International Paper Company ("IP") announced that it would spin off its xpedx distribution
solutions business ("xpedx") and merge that business with Unisource Worldwide, Inc. ("Unisource") under the terms of definitive agreements that would result in the creation of a new, publicly-traded company. On June 13,
2014, the Form S-1 Registration Statement of Veritiv Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IP formed for the purpose of effecting the spin-off and merger, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. On July 1, 2014, IP
completed the spin-off of xpedx to the IP shareholders. Immediately following the spin-off, UWW Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Unisource ("UWWH"), merged with and into xpedx to form a new, publicly-traded company known as Veritiv
Corporation (the "Company," "Registrant," "us" or "our").

Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents heretofore filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and are incorporated herein by reference:
•
The Company's prospectus filed on June 13, 2014 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-193950) which contains audited

•
All other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since June 13, 2014; and
•
The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 333-193950) filed with the Commission on June 5, 2014, pursuant to
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed with the Commission for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after the date of this

Any statement contained in an Incorporated Document shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the securities registered

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (our "Certificate of Incorporation") provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") as it now exists or may hereafter be amended to increase the scope of permitted
indemnification, none of our directors will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in circumstances involving:
•
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty;
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions under Section 174 of the DGCL; or
•
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals,
against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, that are incurred in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation, known as a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
2
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of
derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any
indemnification if the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's bylaws, disinterested director vote,
stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that each person who was or is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that: (i) he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is
or was or has agreed to become a director or an officer of the Company, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, (ii) that he or she is or was a director or officer of IP or UWWH or any of their respective subsidiaries, in
each case acting on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan or (iii) while serving as a director or officer, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Company
as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, whether the basis of such proceeding is action
alleged to have been taken or omitted in an official capacity as a director or officer, or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorney's fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith.
Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that we will pay
the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, subject to the provisions of the DGCL.
The
Merger Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2014, as amended, among the Company, IP, xpedx Intermediate, LLC, xpedx, LLC, UWWH Holdings, LLC, UWWH and Unisource ("the Merger Agreement") also provides for indemnification, by us, of all
past and present directors and officers of UWWH, IP and their respective subsidiaries for all acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective time of the Merger Agreement. We maintain liability insurance for our directors and executive
officers and for those directors and officers that we indemnify pursuant to the Merger Agreement. This insurance provides for coverage, subject to certain exceptions, against non-indemnifiable loss from claims made against directors and officers in
their capacity as such.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. The indemnification agreements
provide our directors with contractual rights to indemnification and expense advancement rights that are supplemental to and in furtherance of the rights provided under our Certificate of Incorporation, as well as contractual rights to additional
indemnification as provided in the indemnification agreement.

Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
