Information to be included in the report

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend Items 5.04 and 9.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 2006 (the “Form 8-K Report”), as amended by the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 19, 2006, which reported an upcoming blackout period for the Donnelley Deferred Compensation and Voluntary Savings Plan and the Moore Wallace North America, Inc. Savings Plan (the “Plans”) due to a change in recordkeeper that will also result in a prohibition on transactions in equity securities of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company by R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company directors and executive officers during such period. The Plans have notified the Company that the conversion to the new recordkeeper has been delayed and that the corresponding blackout period has also been so delayed. The Form 8-K Report is hereby amended to restate such items as set forth herein

Item 5.04. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans

R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (the “Company”) was notified on July 5, 2006, that as a result of a change in the recordkeepers for the Donnelley Deferred Compensation and Voluntary Savings Plan and the Moore Wallace North America, Inc. Savings Plan (the “Plans”), there will be a blackout period beginning on July 27, 2006 and ending on or about August 11, 2006 (the “Blackout Period”), during which participants in the Plans will be temporarily unable to direct or diversify investments in their individual accounts, including accounts that hold common stock of the Company, to obtain a loan or distribution from the Plans, or to obtain a hardship withdrawal from the Plans.

As a result of the foregoing, on July 6, 2006, the Company sent a notice to its directors and executive officers informing them that a blackout period with respect to directors and executive officers is expected to be in effect beginning July 27, 2006 and ending on or about August 11, 2006, during which period they will be prohibited from engaging in any transactions in equity securities of the Company (the “Notice”).

On July 14, 2006, the Company was notified that the conversion to the new recordkeeper had been delayed until September 1, 2006. As a result, the blackout period was delayed and a revised notice was sent to the Company’s directors and executive officers on July 18, 2006.

On August 14, 2006, the Company was notified that the conversion to the new recordkeeper has been further delayed until November 1, 2006 and the blackout period is now expected to begin on October 25, 2006 and end the week of November 13, 2006. A revised notice to this effect was sent to the Company’s directors and executive officers on August 18, 2006.

The Notice was provided to the Company’s directors and executive officers pursuant to the requirements of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation BTR. A copy of the revised Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and incorporated by reference herein.

A participant in either Plan, a security holder or other interested person may obtain without charge, information regarding the Blackout Period, including the actual ending date of the Blackout Period, by contacting David Dykshorn at (312) 326-8199, before and during the Blackout Period.
