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 make an annual report available 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 17,
“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. Due to the challenging economic
environment, and to conserve cash, we suspended our cash dividends in the fourth quarter of 2008. See the
discussion of dividend payment limitations under the caption “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 holders of our common stock, based upon actual record holders on February 10,
2012, was 11,875.
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 investor.officemax.com by
clicking on “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
