Questions and Answers about this Proxy Statement

Why is ACCO Brands distributing this Proxy Statement?

Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting to be held on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Central Time, via a live audio webcast. In order to solicit your proxy, we must furnish you with this Proxy Statement, which contains information about the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

The purpose of the Annual Meeting is for stockholders to act upon the following matters outlined in the Notice and described in this Proxy Statement: (1) the election of nine directors, (2) the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025, (3) a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, (4) approval of an amendment to the 2022 ACCO Brands Corporation Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance; and (5) such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. In addition, management will be available to respond to questions from stockholders.

Why did I receive a Notice in the mail regarding the availability of proxy materials on the Internet instead of a full set of proxy materials?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, we are providing access to our proxy materials via the Internet. The Notice we sent to our stockholders provides instructions on how to access and review this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report online, as well as how to vote online prior to the meeting. Providing proxy materials electronically significantly reduces the printing and mailing costs associated with the distribution of printed copies of our proxy materials to our stockholders and is more environmentally friendly.

If you receive a Notice, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials by mail unless you request one. All stockholders have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request printed copies may be found in the Notice. In addition, stockholders may request proxy materials in printed form by mail on an ongoing basis.

Who is entitled to vote?

Only stockholders who own ACCO Brands common stock of record at the close of business
