<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the proposed merger with Snoopy Acquisition, Inc. pursuant to which
Bowne will be acquired by RR Donnelley, Bowne filed a preliminary proxy statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) on March&nbsp;26, 2010, and will file and furnish to its
stockholders a definitive proxy statement. Stockholders are urged to read the definitive proxy
statement when it is finalized and distributed, because it will contain important information about
the proposed merger. Stockholders will be able to obtain, free of charge, a copy of the definitive
proxy statement and other relevant documents filed with the SEC from the SEC&#146;s website at
www.sec.gov. Stockholders will also be able to obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement
and other relevant documents (when available) by directing a request by mail or telephone to Bowne
&#038; Co., Inc., 55 Water Street, New York, NY 10041, Attention: Corporate Secretary, telephone (212)
658-5805, or from Bowne&#146;s website, www.bowne.com.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Bowne and certain of its directors and executive officers may, under the rules of the SEC, be
deemed to be &#147;participants&#148; in the solicitation of proxies from Bowne&#146;s stockholders in respect of
the proposed merger. Information regarding the interests of such persons in the merger and such
persons&#146; beneficial ownership of Bowne &#038; Co., Inc. common stock as of March&nbsp;15, 2010 is set forth
in the preliminary proxy statement described above.

unexpected events that could negatively impact the closing of such transaction and other factors
cited in the Company&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors should be
