<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On June 5, 2012 ACCO Brands Corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
committed to cost savings plans related to the consolidation and integration of its dated goods business with the dated goods business
recently acquired from MeadWestvaco Corporation. The plans involve closing the Company&rsquo;s facility in East Texas, Pennsylvania
during 2013 and relocating its activities to other facilities within the Company, including its facility in Sidney, New York. Approximately
290 positions are expected to be eliminated in East Texas as a result of these actions, while approximately 120 positions will
be added at the new locations with about 40 others outsourced to a third party provider. The actions to be taken are expected to
result in approximately $9.0 million in annualized cost savings when fully realized in 2014, with approximately $4.5 million (net
of additional 2013 charges described below) to be realized in 2013. In connection with these actions, the Company expects to incur
pretax charges of approximately $13.0 million in 2012 and $2.2 million in 2013. Cash expenditures related to all of these costs
are in aggregate expected to total $14.7 million.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The majority of the 2012 charges will be recorded as a $12.3
million restructuring charge in the quarter ending June 30, 2012, of which approximately $11.9 million represent employee termination
and benefits costs and $0.4 million relates to a non-cash asset write off. The remaining 2012 expenses of $0.7million, as well
as the $2.2 million in anticipated 2013 charges associated with the wind-up of activities at the closed facility and relocation
and start-up expenses at the new locations, are not anticipated to qualify as restructuring and will be expensed in the second
half of 2012 and predominantly in the first half of 2013, respectively.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">From a cash flow perspective, the Company currently anticipates
cash outflows of approximately $3.1 million in 2012, $10.0 million in 2013 and $1.6 million in 2014. The Company expects to break
even in respect of this cost savings plan on a cumulative total cash flow basis by the end of 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In addition, the Company expects to incur capital expenditures
of approximately $2.2 million in 2012 in connection with the build-out of capacity at the New York facility. The East Texas facility
is owned by the Company and will be marketed for sale. However, current real estate market conditions make a future sale date uncertain
and therefore the foregoing estimates do not reflect potential cash sale proceeds from the sale of the facility.</P>

Section 2—Financial Information
Item 2.05—Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities
On June 5, 2012 ACCO Brands Corporation (the "Company")
committed to cost savings plans related to the consolidation and integration of its dated goods business with the dated goods business
recently acquired from MeadWestvaco Corporation. The plans involve closing the Company's facility in East Texas, Pennsylvania
during 2013 and relocating its activities to other facilities within the Company, including its facility in Sidney, New York. Approximately
290 positions are expected to be eliminated in East Texas as a result of these actions, while approximately 120 positions will
be added at the new locations with about 40 others outsourced to a third party provider. The actions to be taken are expected to
result in approximately $9.0 million in annualized cost savings when fully realized in 2014, with approximately $4.5 million (net
of additional 2013 charges described below) to be realized in 2013. In connection with these actions, the Company expects to incur
pretax charges of approximately $13.0 million in 2012 and $2.2 million in 2013. Cash expenditures related to all of these costs
are in aggregate expected to total $14.7 million.
The majority of the 2012 charges will be recorded as a $12.3
million restructuring charge in the quarter ending June 30, 2012, of which approximately $11.9 million represent employee termination
and benefits costs and $0.4 million relates to a non-cash asset write off. The remaining 2012 expenses of $0.7million, as well
as the $2.2 million in anticipated 2013 charges associated with the wind-up of activities at the closed facility and relocation
and start-up expenses at the new locations, are not anticipated to qualify as restructuring and will be expensed in the second
half of 2012 and predominantly in the first half of 2013, respectively.
From a cash flow perspective, the Company currently anticipates
cash outflows of approximately $3.1 million in 2012, $10.0 million in 2013 and $1.6 million in 2014. The Company expects to break
even in respect of this cost savings plan on a cumulative total cash flow basis by the end of 2014.
In addition, the Company expects to incur capital expenditures
of approximately $2.2 million in 2012 in connection with the build-out of capacity at the New York facility. The East Texas facility
is owned by the Company and will be marketed for sale. However, current real estate market conditions make a future sale date uncertain
and therefore the foregoing estimates do not reflect potential cash sale proceeds from the sale of the facility.
On June 6, 2012, the Company issued
a press release relating to the plans described above, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated
herein.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains various "Forward-Looking
Statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include statements concerning
our financial and business prospects in 2012 and over future years, including restructuring activities, restructuring charges,
cash expenditures and cost savings. These statements, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning various
future events, are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those of such Forward-Looking Statements. The ultimate results of any restructuring and business improvement
actions depend on a number of factors, including potential changes to the final implementation plan, the impact of regulatory requirements
regarding employee terminations, the time necessary to develop and implement the restructuring and other business improvement initiatives
and the level of success achieved through such actions in improving competitiveness, efficiency and effectiveness. We caution that
undue reliance should not be placed on Forward-Looking Statements, which speak only as of the date made.
Except as may be required under applicable law, we undertake
no duty to update our Forward-Looking Statements.
