In accordance with the provisions governing the Series 5 Preferred Shares, registered holders of such shares are entitled to convert all or any number of their Series 5 Preferred Shares into a number of Subordinate Voting Shares effective as of March 1, 2008 (the "First Conversion Date"), provided such holders gave notice of their intention to convert at least 65 days prior to the First Conversion Date.

The Series 5 Preferred Shares are convertible into that number of the Company's Subordinate Voting Shares determined by dividing Cdn$25.00 together with all accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares up to February 29, 2008 by the greater of (i) Cdn$2.00 and (ii) 95% of the weighted average trading price of the Series 5 Preferred Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange during the period of twenty trading days ending on February 26, 2008. Notwithstanding the notices of conversion received in respect of the Series 5 Preferred Shares, the Company retains the right under the provisions governing the Series 5 Preferred Shares to redeem all or any number of such Series 5 Preferred Shares in respect of which a notice of conversion was received. In the event Quebecor World were to decide to avail itself of its right to redeem all or any number of such Series 5 Preferred Shares in respect of which a notice of conversion was received, it would be required to provide notice to the holders of Series 5 Preferred Shares that submitted a notice of conversion by January 21, 2008.
