ACCO BRANDS Corp

There are various claims, lawsuits and pending actions against us incidental to our operations, including the income tax assessments against our Brazilian subsidiary, ACCO Brands Brasil Ltda. (the "Brazil Tax Assessments"), In June 2025, we agreed with the Brazilian Treasury to settle the Brazil Tax Assessments pursuant to an amnesty program. For more information, see "Part I, Item 1. Note 11. Income Taxes, Brazil Tax Assessments" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

It is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of currently outstanding matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. However, there is no assurance that we will ultimately be successful in our defense of any of these matters or that an adverse outcome in any matter will not affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow. Further, future claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings could materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.
