Explanation of Responses:

1. Each Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") represents the right to receive the economic equivalent of one share of the common stock of Resolute Forest Products Inc. (the "Company") in cash upon settlement. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 5, 2022, by and among the Company, Domtar Corporation, Terra Acquisition Sub Inc., Karta Halten B.V., Pearl Merger Sub Inc. and Paper Excellence B.V., (the "Merger Agreement"), each RSU that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), whether vested or unvested, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (a) a cash payment equal to $20.50 ("Cash Consideration") and (b) one contractual contingent value right ("CVR"). (Cont'd in FN2)

2. (Cont'd from FN1) A CVR entitles the reporting person to receive a pro rata portion of all amounts of refunds received, if any, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or permitted assignees, in respect of approximately $500 million of deposits on estimated softwood lumber duties paid by the Company through June 30, 2022, including interest paid by any applicable government authority net of certain expenses and of applicable tax and withholding.

3. Each RSU represents the right to receive the economic equivalent of one share of Company common stock. The RSUs awarded to the reporting person on January 1, 2023 were to vest, and settle in cash, in four equal annual installments beginning on December 1, 2023 (subject to earlier settlement in certain circumstances), and further subject to the applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each RSU that was granted in or after November 2022 and was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (a) a cash payment equal to the Cash Consideration and (b) one CVR, provided that the amounts payable are subject to the original vesting dates provided for in the award agreement governing the RSU and to accelerated vesting upon certain qualifying terminations as further provided in the applicable award agreement.
