See accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 6 R. R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES ------------ NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Note 1. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited (although the balance sheet at December 31, 1993 is condensed from the audited balance sheet at that date) and have been prepared by the company to conform with the requirements applicable to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been omitted as permitted by such requirements. However, the company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the company's 1993 annual report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect, in the opinion of the company, all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial information for such periods. Note 2. Components of the company's inventories at September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 were as follows:

7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF THIRD QUARTER 1994 TO THIRD QUARTER 1993 Net sales increased 10.6% above the prior year reflecting higher volume from new products and services, new customers, recent expansions and acquisitions. Net sales from international operations were 39% above the prior year and represented over 11% of total company sales in the quarter. International sales growth included new operations in Europe, Asia and Latin America, including the recent acquisition of a 51% interest in Chilean-based Editorial Lord Cochrane, which was fully consolidated in operating results beginning July 1, 1994. Gross profit increased 9.9%, reflecting higher volume partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization, increased start-up expenses and a higher LIFO provision. Selling and administrative expenses were 11.5% above the prior year, due to the higher volume, recent expansions and new operations. Other expense increased $5.2 million reflecting higher interest expense (due to larger commercial paper balances and higher interest rates), lower investment income and higher minority interest expense. The effective tax rate of 32% in 1994 was lower than the 1993 rate reflecting benefits associated with life insurance programs, credits associated with affordable housing investment programs and the one-time impact on the deferred income tax provision in the third quarter of 1993, related to the federal tax rate increase. As a result of the volume increase and the lower effective tax rate, net income increased 15.3%, which exceeded the growth in sales. Earnings per share were $0.52, up 15.6%, reflecting net income growth and fewer average shares outstanding. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF FIRST NINE MONTHS 1994 TO FIRST NINE MONTHS 1993 Net sales increased 11.5% above the prior year reflecting higher volume from new products and services, new customers, recent expansions and acquisitions. Net sales from international operations were 31% above the prior year and represented approximately 11% of total company sales in the first nine months of 1994. International sales growth included new operations in Europe, Asia and Latin America, including the recent acquisition of a 51% interest in Chilean- based Editorial Lord Cochrane, which was fully consolidated in operating results beginning July 1, 1994. Gross profit increased 10.7%, reflecting higher sales volume partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization, increased start-up expenses and a higher LIFO provision. Selling and administrative expenses increased 11.5% due to the higher volume, recent expansions and new operations. Other expense increased $9.4 million reflecting higher interest expense (due to larger commercial paper balances and higher interest rates), lower investment income and higher minority interest expense. The effective tax rate of 32% in 1994 was lower than the 1993 rate reflecting benefits associated with life insurance programs, credits associated with affordable housing investment programs and the one-time impact on the deferred income tax provision in the third quarter of 1993, related to the federal tax rate increase. As a result of the volume increase and the lower effective tax rate, net income increased 12.6% over 1993, excluding the restructuring charge and accounting changes reflected in the first quarter of 1993. Earnings per share of $1.18 increased 13.5%, excluding the one-time items, reflecting net income growth and fewer average shares outstanding. CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION With the growth in cash flow and the credit facilities and shelf registration discussed below, management believes the company has the financial strength and flexibility to fund current operations and growth. Net income from operations plus depreciation and amortization was $413.8 million, up 13.4% from the prior year, excluding the restructuring charge recorded in the first quarter of 1993. Capital investment during the first nine months totaled $443.4 million, including new equipment to meet the growing needs of present and new customers; expansion of manufacturing plants; and 8 acquisitions and joint venture investments. Full year capital spending is estimated to be $525 million. Working capital increased $55.4 million from December 31, 1993 primarily from increased receivables and inventories reflecting recent acquisitions and increased volume partially offset by higher accounts payable balances. At September 30, 1994, the company continues to have two unused revolving credit facilities totaling $550 million with a number of banks. These credit facilities provide support for the issuance of commercial paper and other credit needs. At September 30, 1994, the company had effective shelf registration statements permitting it to issue, from time to time, up to $500 million in debt securities. Under the shelf registration statements, the company issued $200 million of medium term notes during October and early November, 1994. The notes bear interest rates between 7.01% and 7.96% (with a weighted average interest rate of 7.55%) with maturity dates ranging from 1997 to 1999. The proceeds from these issues were used to retire commercial paper debt. 9 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.

Every stockholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder and bearing a date not more than eleven months prior to voting, unless such instrument provides for a longer period. Every such stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock having voting power registered in his name on the books of the corporation.

Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver. A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares, unless in the transfer by the pledger or on the books of the corporation, he has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent the stock and vote thereon.

EX-10 4 1993 STOCK PURCHASE Exhibit 10 R. R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY 1993 STOCK PURCHASE PLAN FOR SELECTED MANAGERS AND KEY STAFF EMPLOYEES (AS AMENDED ON SEPTEMBER 22, 1994) 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") of R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (the "Company") is to align the interests of the Company's stockholders and selected managers and key staff employees of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries eligible to participate in the Plan by granting incentives to such managers and key staff employees to increase their proprietary interest in the Company's growth and success. 2. Administration. The Plan will be administered by a Committee (the "Committee") of three or more directors designated by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board). No member of the Committee, during the one year prior to service on the Committee or during service on the Committee, shall have been or be granted or awarded shares of common stock, par value $1.25 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"), options to purchase shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company pursuant to the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, except for any grant or award which would not result in such member ceasing to be a "disinterested person" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Committee may adopt such rules and regulations and make such determinations and interpretations and provide for all terms and conditions of the Plan and participation thereunder as it shall deem desirable and not inconsistent with the limitations herein provided. All such rules, regulations, determinations and interpretations relating to the Plan adopted by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties. 3. Eligibility. (a) The Committee shall determine the classes (or portions thereof) of managers and key staff employees of the Company and any of its subsidiaries that are eligible to participate in the Plan (each such class determined to be so eligible being referred to herein as an "Eligible Class"); provided that the Committee may direct that the determination of such classes (or portions thereof) be made by the Chief Executive Officer, either alone or together with one or more designated officers of the Company, except that the determination of the eligibility of any class in which there is an "officer" within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act shall be made by the Committee. The determination of Eligible Classes shall remain in effect unless and until changed in accordance with the following. No elimination of an Eligible Class or portion thereof may be made with respect to any calendar year after February 1 of such year. Additions of Eligible Classes or portions thereof may be made at any time by the Committee, or by the Chief Executive Officer, either alone or together with one or more designated officers of the Company, if the Committee has delegated the authority to determine such Eligible Classes to the Chief Executive Officer. (b) An employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company who either (i) is employed in an Eligible Class on a Purchase Date (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) was employed in an Eligible Class on the December 31 next preceding a Purchase Date and who retired at age 55 or over on or after such December 31 and on or prior to such Purchase Date, shall be eligible to purchase shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Plan on such Purchase Date (each such employee being referred to herein as an "Eligible Employee"); provided that any Eligible Employee who disposes of Common Stock purchased under the Plan in contravention of Section 7 hereof shall not be an Eligible Employee (and therefore not entitled to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan) on either of the two Purchase Dates next following the date on which the Company becomes aware of the most recent such disposition and with respect to which the condition set forth in Section 4(c) is satisfied. 4. Eligible Employee's and Company's Contributions for Purchase of Shares of Common Stock. (a) Subject to subsection (c) below, each Eligible Employee may, with respect to each Purchase Date, contribute up to 5% of the Compensation (as hereinafter defined) of such Eligible Employee for the calendar year next preceding such Purchase Date; provided that the amount, if any, contributed by an Eligible Employee (the "Eligible Employee's Contribution Amount") shall in no event be less than $100. The Eligible Employee's Contribution Amount shall, subject to the conditions contained herein, be applied, together with a Company contribution equal to 50% of the Eligible Employee's Contribution Amount, to the purchase of Common Stock as provided in Section 5. The Company will contribute an additional amount equal to 20% of the Eligible Employee's Contribution Amount, which amount will be paid in cash to the Eligible Employee in the last pay period in the month of April next following the Purchase Date. (b) The election of an Eligible Employee to contribute with respect to a Purchase Date and the designation by such Eligible Employee of such Eligible Employee's Contribution Amount for such Purchase Date must be made no later than the March 15 next preceding such Purchase Date; provided that in the case of an Eligible Employee who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, such election and designation with respect to a Purchase Date shall be made no later than the September 15 next preceding such Purchase Date and shall be irrevocable after such September 15. An Eligible Employee shall pay such Eligible Employee's Contribution Amount in full on or before the March 15 next preceding a Purchase Date. (c) No Eligible Employee may make a contribution under the Plan following any calendar year of the Company, unless the consolidated net earnings of the Company for such year, before provision for Federal, state and other income taxes, shall equal or exceed 8% of the consolidated net sales of the Company, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect for such year (the "Performance Threshold"); provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion exercised at any time, exclude from the calculation of the Performance Threshold for any year the effect of any extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual charge or credit, any change in accounting policy or any other factors (including, without limitation, acquisitions or dispositions) deemed by the Committee to warrant such exclusion or change the Performance Threshold as it deems appropriate. (d) The "Compensation" of an Eligible Employee for a calendar year shall mean the sum of (i) the base pay (before reduction on account of any election by the Eligible Employee pursuant to a "qualified cash or deferred arrangement," as defined in Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code")), or pursuant to a "cafeteria plan," as defined in Section 125 of the Code), and overtime paid to such Eligible Employee by the Company and its subsidiaries during such calendar year and (ii) the annual incentive compensation amount paid to such Eligible Employee by the Company and its subsidiaries during such calendar year, prorated, if necessary, for the portion of such calendar year during which such employee was in an Eligible Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Compensation shall not include expatriate benefits paid under the Company's expatriate policy (as amended from time to time), including, without limitation, any foreign service or hardship premium. 5. Purchase of Shares of Common Stock. The Eligible Employee's Contribution Amount and the Company contribution equal to 50% of such Eligible Employee's Contribution Amount shall be applied on the first trading day following March 15 in any year when purchases may be made (a "Purchase Date") to the purchase from the Company of whole shares of Common Stock for the Eligible Employee's account at the average of the high and low transaction prices reported in the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions report for such Purchase Date. Any amount in excess of the amount so applied to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock shall be paid to the Eligible Employee. 6. Certificates Representing Shares of Common Stock. Shares purchased under the Plan for the account of an Eligible Employee will be represented by a certificate registered in the name of such Eligible Employee or, if such Eligible Employee shall so specify, in the name of such Eligible Employee and such Eligible Employee's spouse as joint tenants, and the certificate shall be delivered to the Eligible Employee as soon as practicable following the Purchase Date. 7. Disposition of Shares of Common Stock. An Eligible Employee who purchases shares of Common Stock under the Plan may sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of such shares at any time; provided that the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any shares of Common Stock which are purchased under the Plan within three years of the date of purchase of such shares under the Plan (other than a transfer into the name of the Eligible Employee and such employee's spouse as joint tenants or a transfer from joint tenancy into the name of the Eligible Employee individually) shall automatically terminate the right of such Eligible Employee to participate in the Plan on the two Purchase Dates next following the date on which the Company becomes aware of the most recent such disposition and with respect to which the condition set forth in Section 4(c) is satisfied. An Eligible Employee who transfers shares to a trust or brokerage account may restore such Eligible Employee's right to participate in the Plan by re- registering such shares in such Eligible Employee's name (or registering such shares in joint tenancy with such Eligible Employee's spouse) within three months of notice from the Company and delivering a copy of the certificate representing such re-registered shares to the Compensation and Employee Benefits department of the Company. 8. Number of Shares of Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase under the Plan shall be 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock; provided that such maximum number shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a split-up or consolidation of shares or like capital adjustment or the payment of any stock dividend or other increase or decrease in the number of such issued shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan shall, at the election of the Company, be authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock held as treasury shares or a combination thereof. 9. Effective Date. The Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval at the 1993 annual meeting of stockholders and, if approved, shall become effective as of January 1, 1993. 10. Termination and Amendment. The Plan shall terminate with respect to Compensation paid to employees after December 31, 2002 unless terminated earlier by the Board. The Board may suspend the Plan at any time. Any termination or suspension shall not affect the rights of an Eligible Employee with respect to shares of Common Stock theretofore purchased under the Plan. The Board may amend the Plan at any time, but no amendment may be made without the approval of stockholders if such amendment would increase the Company's total contribution to a percent greater than 70% of an Eligible Employee's Contribution Amount, increase the maximum percentage to more than 5% of an Eligible Employee's Compensation, reduce the purchase price of shares of Common Stock under the Plan, or increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased under the Plan.
