DAYTON, Ohio, December 12, 2008—Standard Register’s Board of Directors (NYSE:SR) announced today it will appoint Robert M. Ginnan, 45, as chief financial officer following the retirement of Craig J. Brown, 59, planned for March 1, 2009.

Bob Ginnan joined the company in 1992 and progressed through a series of operational finance roles, achieving his current position in 2000 as the company’s corporate controller.  He currently oversees corporate financial reporting and compliance; financing and treasury operations; tax; risk management; and financial planning.  “Bob’s record is one of achievement, increasing responsibility and broad financial experience,” said Joe Morgan, CEO.  “He is particularly well-suited for his new assignment.”
