PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the ‘‘Exchange’’). The Exchange
requires each listed company to distribute an annual report to its shareholders. We are making this
Form 10-K available to our shareholders in lieu of a separate annual report. The reported high and
low sales prices for our common stock, as well as the frequency and amount of dividends paid on
such stock, are included in Note 18, Quarterly Results of Operations (unaudited), of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in ‘‘Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data’’ of
this Form 10-K. As a result of the current economic crisis and to conserve cash, we suspended our
cash dividends in the fourth quarter of 2008. See the discussion of dividend payment limitations
under ‘‘Financing Arrangements’’ in ‘‘Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations’’ of this Form 10-K. The approximate number of common
shareholders, based upon actual recordholders on February 20, 2009, was 14,185.
We maintain a corporate governance page on our website that includes key information about
our corporate governance initiatives. That information includes our Corporate Governance
Guidelines, Code of Ethics and charters for our Audit, Executive Compensation and Governance
and Nominating Committees, as well as our Committee of Outside Directors. The corporate
governance page can be found at www.officemax.com, by clicking on ‘‘About us,’’ ‘‘Investors’’ and
then ‘‘Corporate Governance.’’ You also may obtain copies of these policies, charters and codes by
contacting our Investor Relations Department, 263 Shuman Boulevard, Naperville, Illinois 60563, or
by calling (630) 864-6800.
Information concerning securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans
is included in ‘‘Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and
Related Stockholder Matters’’ of this Form 10-K.
Stock Repurchases
