ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We have had no disagreements with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding accounting
or financial disclosure matters.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer
directed and supervised an evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).
The evaluation was conducted to determine whether the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were
effective in bringing material information about the Company to the attention of senior management. Based
on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material
information that the Company is required to disclose in its filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
OfficeMax’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended). Our
internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of
Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, assessed
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 25, 2010. In making this
assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.
Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of December 25, 2010, OfficeMax’s internal
control over financial reporting was effective.
KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. That report is included on page 79 of this
Form 10-K.
(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-
15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
(a) None.
