For
fiscal year 2007, represents the dollar amount recognized for financial
statement reporting purposes with respect to fiscal 2007 for the fair
value of restricted stock and RSUs granted in 2007, in accordance with
SFAS 123R. For fiscal year 2006, represents the dollar amount recognized
for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to fiscal 2006 for
the fair value of restricted stock and RSUs granted in 2006, in accordance
with SFAS 123R. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown
exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based
vesting conditions. Fair value is calculated using the closing
price of Cenveo stock on the date of grant. For additional
information, refer to note 12 of the consolidated financial statements in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007. These amounts reflect the Company’s
accounting expense for these awards, and do not correspond to the actual

This
column shows the annual bonuses earned for 2007, which are completely
performance-based and are governed by our Management By Objectives (MBO)
plan. The bonuses are earned
on an “all or nothing” basis that requires every financial target in an
executive’s MBO statement to be achieved before the executive is eligible
for any portion of such executive’s bonus. For 2007,
these financial targets included the Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP EPS and
Adjusted EBITDA Margin targets for the entire Company that were
communicated to investors on the Company’s quarterly investor call on
March 1, 2007. See “2007 Bonuses” on page 16 for the
target numbers that were required to be obtained for
2007.

This
column shows the potential value of the payout for each named executive
under our incentive bonus plan that was available if the executive’s
target goals were satisfied for 2007. The potential payouts
were performance-driven and therefore completely at risk. No
bonus would be paid unless certain financial targets for the Company and
the executive’s division, as applicable, were met. Even if the
financial targets were met, the target bonus could be subject to reduction
if certain other non-financial goals were not met. The business
measurements, performance goals and salary for determining the payout are
described under the heading “2007 Bonuses” on page
16.

|
This
column shows the number of RSUs granted in 2007 to the named
executives. Each award vests 25% per year over four years
beginning September 12, 2008, the first anniversary of the date of
grant.

This
column shows the number of stock options granted in 2007 to the named
executives. These options vest and become exercisable 25% per
year over four years beginning September 12, 2008, the first anniversary
of the date of grant.
|
(4)
|
This
column shows the exercise price for the stock options granted, which was
the closing price of Cenveo stock on the date of
grant.
|
(5)
|
This
column shows the full grant date fair value of the RSUs and stock options
under SFAS 123R granted to the named executives in
2007. Generally, the full grant date fair value is the total
amount that the Company would expense in its financial statements over the
award’s vesting schedule. For RSUs, fair value is calculated
using the closing price of Cenveo stock on the grant date
($17.89). For stock options, fair value is calculated using the
Black Scholes value on the grant date ($6.31). For additional
information on the valuation assumptions for these awards, see note 12 of
the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. These
amounts reflect the Company’s total accounting expense over the four year
vesting period, and do not correspond to the actual value that will be
recognized by the named executives. Actual amounts received by
our executives will depend on our executives’ continued employment through
the vesting period and our stock price when the executives ultimately sell
the stock.

Limitation
on term of stock option grants. The term of each stock option
will not exceed seven years.
|
|
·
|
No
repricing or grant of discounted stock options. The 2007 Plan
does not permit the repricing of options or stock appreciation rights
either by amending an existing award or by substituting a new award at a
lower price. The 2007 Plan prohibits the granting of stock
options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price less than the
fair market value of Cenveo stock on the date of
grant.
|
|
·
|
Limitation
on vesting. In general, time-vested awards can vest no earlier
than in installments over 3 years from the date of grant and
performance-vested awards can vest no earlier than the expiration of a one
year performance period. Awards may vest sooner upon a change
of control and certain terminations of employment. Awards to
non-employee directors are not subject to these vesting
limitations.
|
|
·
|
Limitation
on share replenishment. Shares surrendered for the payment of
the exercise price or withholding taxes with respect to stock options or
stock appreciation rights do not again become available for issuance under
the 2007 Plan.

Includes
3,849,980 shares subject to outstanding stock options and 1,132,150 shares
subject to outstanding RSU awards. The table does not include
shares subject to restricted stock awards because such shares are already

These
shares are available for issuance under our 2007 Long-Term Equity
Incentive Plan. The 2007 Plan, as approved by shareholders,
provides that any unused shares authorized under prior plans (and shares
that become available due to forfeitures of awards granted under such
plans) are rolled over into the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan provides for the
grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. Of the
shares available for grant under the 2007 Plan as of December 31, 2007, no
more than 801,100 are available for restricted stock awards and/or RSU
awards.

Q:
|
Why
am I receiving these
materials?
|
A:
|
Cenveo
is providing these proxy materials to you and soliciting your vote in
connection with its annual meeting of shareholders, which will take place
on May 30, 2008. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the meeting
and may vote on the proposals described in this proxy
statement.
|
Q:
|
What
information is contained in these
materials?
|
A:
|
The
information included in this proxy statement relates to the proposals to
be voted on at the meeting, the voting process, the compensation of
directors and executive officers and certain other required information.
Our 2007 Annual Report is also
enclosed.
|
Q:
|
Who
may vote at the meeting?
|
A:
|
Only
shareholders of record at the close of business on April 3, 2008 may vote
at the meeting. As of the record date, 53,836,448 shares of Cenveo’s
common stock were issued and outstanding. Each shareholder is entitled to
one vote for each share of common stock held on the record
date.
|
Q:
|
What
is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as
a beneficial owner?
|
A:
|
Most
shareholders hold shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee
rather than directly in their own name. There are some distinctions
between shares held of record and shares owned beneficially, which are
summarized below:
|
|
Shareholder of
Record. If your
shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent,
Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you are considered to be the
shareholder
of record of
those shares and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by
Cenveo. As the shareholder
of record, you
have the right to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the meeting. In
that case, we have enclosed a proxy card for you to
use.
|
|
Beneficial
Owner. If your
shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other
nominee, you are considered the beneficial
owner of shares
held in street
name, and these
proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or bank, which
is considered to be the shareholder
of record of
those shares. As the beneficial
owner, you have
the right to direct your broker how to vote and are also invited to attend
the meeting. If you wish to vote these shares at the meeting, you must
contact your bank or broker for instructions as to how to do so. Your
broker or bank has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in
directing the broker or nominee how to vote your shares for
you.
|
Q:
|
What
may I vote on at the meeting?
|
A:
|
You may vote on the following
three proposals:
|
|
·
|
to elect six nominees to serve
on Cenveo’s board of directors for terms expiring at the next annual
meeting,
|
|
·
|
to ratify the selection of our
independent auditors for 2008,
and
|
|
·
|
to approve an amendment to the
Cenveo, Inc. 2007 Long-Term Equity Incentive
Plan.
|
Q:
|
How
does the board of directors recommend I
vote?
|
A:
|
The board recommends that you
vote your shares FOR each of the six listed director nominees, and FOR the
ratification of our independent auditors, and FOR the approval of the
amendment to the Cenveo, Inc. 2007 Long-Term Equity Incentive
Plan.
|
Q:
|
How
can I vote my shares?
|
A:
|
You may vote either in person
at the meeting or by proxy. Please refer to the instructions included on
your proxy card to vote by proxy. If you hold your shares in street name
through a bank, broker or other record holder, then you may vote by the
methods your bank or broker makes available using the instructions the
bank or broker has included with this proxy statement. These methods may
include voting over the internet, by telephone or by mailing a voting
instruction card.
|
Q:
|
How
are votes counted?
|
A:
|
In
the election of directors, you may vote FOR all of the director nominees
or your vote may be WITHHELD with respect to one or more nominees. You may
vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN on the proposal to ratify the auditors and
the proposal to approve the amendment to the Cenveo, Inc. 2007 Long-Term
Equity Incentive Plan.
|
Q:
|
What
is a “quorum” and why is it
necessary?
|
A:
|
Conducting
business at the annual meeting requires a quorum. For a quorum to exist,
shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to
vote must be present in person or represented by proxy. Under the Colorado
Business Corporation Act, abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as
present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. A broker
non-vote occurs when a broker cannot exercise discretionary voting power
and has not received instructions from the beneficial
owner.
|
|
In
accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, brokers will be
permitted to exercise discretionary authority in voting shares held in
street name for the election of the nominees named in this proxy statement
and for ratification of the selection of auditors. If you
fail to provide voting instructions to your broker with respect to this
proposal, your shares will be broker
non-votes.
|
Q:
|
What
vote is required to approve each proposal, and how will votes be
counted?
|
A:
|
If
a quorum is present, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes
cast. This means that the six nominees receiving the highest number of
votes will be elected as directors. Cenveo’s articles of incorporation do
not permit shareholders to cumulate their votes. Abstentions
will have no effect on the vote for directors. There will be no
broker non-votes.
|
|
Each
of the proposals other than the election of directors will be adopted if
the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the
proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect
on the proposals.
|
Q:
|
Can
I change my vote?
|
A:
|
You
have the right to revoke your proxy at any time before the meeting
by:
|
|
·
|
providing written notice to
Cenveo’s corporate secretary that you revoke your
proxy,
|
|
·
|
voting in person at the
meeting, or
|
|
·
|
signing a later-dated proxy
card and submitting it so that it is received before the meeting
begins.
|
|
Attending
the meeting will not by itself revoke a proxy unless you specifically
revoke your proxy in writing.
|
Q:
|
What
does it mean if I get more than one proxy
card?
|
A:
|
If
your shares are registered differently and are held in more than one
account, then you will receive more than one proxy card. Be sure to vote
all of your accounts so that all of your shares are voted. We encourage
you to have all accounts registered in the same name and address whenever
possible.
|
Q:
|
How
will voting on any other business be
conducted?
|
A:
|
We
do not know of any business to be considered at the meeting other than
election of six directors, the ratification of our independent auditors,
and the amendment to the 2007 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. If any
other business is properly presented at the meeting, your proxy gives Mark
S. Hiltwein, our Chief Financial Officer, and Timothy M. Davis, our Senior
Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, authority to vote on these
matters in their discretion.
|
Q:
|
Who
may attend the meeting?
|
A:
|
All
shareholders who owned shares of our common stock on the record date,
April 3, 2008, may attend the meeting. You may indicate on the enclosed
proxy card if you plan to attend the
meeting.
|
Q:
|
Where
and when will I be able to find the results of the
voting?
|
A:
|
The
results of the voting will be announced at the meeting. We will also
publish the final results in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
second quarter of 2008, which we will file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
|
Q:
|
When
are shareholder proposals for the 2009 annual meeting
due?
|
A:
|
In
order to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2009
annual meeting a shareholder proposal must be received by our Corporate
Secretary at our principal office by December 1, 2008. A
shareholder of record may introduce a proposal to be voted on at our 2009
annual meeting that is not included in our proxy statement for that
meeting. In order to do so, the shareholder must provide
written notice of such intention that is received by our Corporate
Secretary at our principal office no later than February 2,
2009. Such notice must include a brief description of the
proposal desired to be introduced, the reason for it, and the proposing
shareholder’s interest in the matter; the proposing shareholder’s name and
address as they appear on the Company’s books; the number of shares of
common stock owned beneficially by the proposing shareholder and the date
they were acquired; and a representation that the shareholder intends to
appear at the annual meeting and present the
proposal.
|
Q:
|
How
can shareholders nominate a candidate for
director?
|
A:
|
A
shareholder of record may nominate a candidate for director by providing
written notice to our Corporate Secretary at our principal
office. If the nomination relates to an election to be held at
our annual meeting, the notice must be received by our Corporate Secretary
no later than 90 days before the anniversary date of the previous year’s
annual meeting, and if it relates to an election to be held at a special
meeting, it must be received by the close of business on the tenth day
after the day notice of the special meeting was first mailed or publicly
disclosed. The notice must include all information about the
proposed nominee required by SEC rules to be included in a proxy
statement, the nominee’s written consent to serve if elected, the
nominating shareholder’s name and address as they appear on the Company’s
books and the number of shares beneficially owned by the nominating
shareholder.
|
Q:
|
Who
will bear the cost of soliciting proxies for the meeting, and how will
these proxies be solicited?
|
A:
|
We will pay the cost of
preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy
materials, including the charges and expenses of brokers, banks, nominees
and other fiduciaries who forward proxy materials to their principals.
Proxies may be solicited by mail, in person, by telephone or by electronic
communication by our officers and employees, who will not receive any
additional compensation for these solicitation
activities.
