I already own shares of RR Donnelley stock in addition to my shares of Moore Wallace stock. What should I do with my RR Donnelley shares?
You do not need to do anything with your RR Donnelley shares. RR Donnelley shareholders will continue to hold the shares they held before the combination. RR Donnelley shareholders did not receive any additional shares in the merger.
How long do I have to complete the exchange?

Until you surrender your Moore Wallace certificates for exchange, you will not receive a check for any fractional RR Donnelley share resulting from the exchange, nor will you receive a distribution of any dividends with a record date after February 27, 2004, although your share certificate will continue to represent the rights laid out in the combination agreement. We urge you to surrender your certificates for exchange promptly.
