SELLING STOCKHOLDER

        We and the selling stockholder are party to a registration rights agreement that provides the selling stockholder with customary demand and piggyback registration rights, and the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part was filed in connection therewith. The shares offered by this prospectus supplement are the subject of a take-down notice issued by the selling stockholder pursuant to that agreement. In connection with the merger of xpedx and Unisource, we and the selling stockholder also entered into the TRA that sets forth the terms by which we generally will be obligated to pay the selling stockholder an amount equal to 85% of the U.S. federal, state and Canadian income tax savings that we actually realize as a result of the utilization of Unisource's net operating losses attributable to taxable periods prior to the date of the merger. In the normal course of business, we also purchase certain inventory items from, and sell certain inventory items to, Georgia-Pacific LLC, which holds an interest in the selling stockholder. For additional information, see Note 9, Related Party Transactions, to the consolidated and combined financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. Other than as described above, the selling stockholder has had no material relationship with us within the last three years.

        The following table provides the name of the selling stockholder, information known to us regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock by the selling stockholder as of March 9, 2017 and the number of shares of our common stock offered by the selling stockholder in this offering.

        Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based on our records, information filed with the SEC or information furnished to us by the selling stockholder. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power and investment power with respect to those securities.

U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. STOCKHOLDERS

        The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income and certain estate tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock by a Non-U.S. Stockholder who purchases shares of our common stock during this offering. For purposes of this discussion, a Non-U.S. Stockholder is a beneficial owner of our common stock that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as:

•

an individual who is neither a citizen nor a resident of the United States;



•

a corporation created or organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;



•

an estate, other than an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or



•

a trust, other than a trust (i) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

        This discussion does not address the U.S. federal tax consequences to an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or to persons investing through such an entity. If an entity treated as a partnership holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner in a partnership considering an investment in our common stock should consult its own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of being a partner in a partnership that purchases, owns or disposes of our common stock.

        This summary assumes that our common stock is held as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment). This summary is of a general nature and thus does not address all of the U.S. federal income and estate tax considerations that might be relevant to a Non-U.S. Stockholder in light of its particular circumstances or to a Non-U.S. Stockholder subject to special treatment under U.S. federal tax laws (such as banks, insurance companies, dealers in securities or other Non-U.S. Stockholders that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, foreign governments, international organizations, tax-exempt entities, "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies," certain former citizens or residents of the United States, or Non-U.S. Stockholders that hold our common stock as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction or integrated transaction). Furthermore, this summary does not discuss any aspects of U.S. federal gift, state, local or non-U.S. taxation. This summary is based on current provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), U.S. Treasury regulations, judicial opinions, published positions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and other applicable authorities, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. Each prospective purchaser of our common stock is advised to consult its own tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our common stock. No assurance exists that the IRS will not challenge any of the tax consequences described herein, and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, an opinion of counsel with respect to the U.S. federal income or estate tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Stockholder of purchasing, owning and disposing of our common stock.

        PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF OUR COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION AND ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

Table of Contents

Distributions

        If we make distributions on our common stock, the distributions will be dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, they will constitute a return of capital that will first reduce a Non-U.S. Stockholder's basis in our common stock (determined separately for each share), but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock (as discussed further below).

        Any dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Stockholder with respect to our common stock generally will be subject to withholding tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty). Generally, a Non-U.S. Stockholder must certify as to its eligibility for reduced withholding under an applicable income tax treaty on a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, in order to obtain the benefits of such treaty. A Non-U.S. Stockholder that does not timely provide the applicable withholding agent with the required certification, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their possible entitlement to benefits under a tax treaty.

        If, however, the Non-U.S. Stockholder provides a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividend is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Stockholder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States, and otherwise complies with applicable certification requirements, the dividend will not be subject to the withholding tax described above. Instead, such dividend will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the manner described below under "Effectively Connected Income."

Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock

        Except as otherwise discussed below, a Non-U.S. Stockholder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Stockholder's conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an income tax treaty applies, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such Non-U.S. Stockholder in the United States), (ii) the Non-U.S. Stockholder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the year in which such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met, or (iii) we are or have been a "United States real property holding corporation" ("USRPHC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of (x) the five-year period ending on the date of such sale, exchange or other disposition and (y) such Non-U.S. Stockholder's holding period with respect to our common stock, and, provided that our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market within the meaning of applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, such Non-U.S. Stockholder has held, directly or constructively, at any time during said period, more than 5% of our common stock. We do not believe that we are or will become a USRPHC; however, there can be no assurance in that regard.

        Gain described in clause (i) immediately above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the manner described below under "Effectively Connected Income." A Non-U.S. Stockholder described in clause (ii) immediately above will be subject to tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the net gain derived from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition, which may be offset by U.S.-source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Stockholder during the taxable year.

Effectively Connected Income

        Any dividend with respect to, or gain recognized upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of, our common stock that is effectively connected with a trade or business carried on by a Non-U.S.

S-10

---

Table of Contents

Stockholder within the United States (and, if an income tax treaty applies, that is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such Non-U.S. Stockholder in the United States) will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, based on the Non-U.S. Stockholder's net effectively connected income, generally in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Stockholder were a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a dividend or gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of a Non-U.S. Stockholder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such corporate Non-U.S. Stockholder may also be subject to a "branch profits tax" on its effectively connected earnings and profits (subject to certain adjustments) at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty). Non-U.S. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

FATCA Withholding

        Under legislation commonly known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act or "FATCA," a 30% withholding tax generally will be imposed on dividends with respect to, and the gross proceeds from a disposition after December 31, 2018 of, shares of our common stock paid to (i) a foreign financial institution (as defined in Section 1471(d)(4) of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder), unless the foreign financial institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department to collect and disclose certain information regarding its U.S. account holders (including certain account holders that are foreign entities that have U.S. owners) and satisfies certain other requirements or is deemed to be compliant with the requirements of FATCA, including pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement, and (ii) certain other non-U.S. entities, unless the entity provides the payor with certain information regarding certain direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity, or certifies that it has no such U.S. owners, and complies with certain other requirements. All Non-U.S. Stockholders generally will be required to furnish certifications (generally on an IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI) or other documentation to establish an exemption from withholding under FATCA. Even if a Non-U.S. Stockholder provides such certification, FATCA withholding will still apply where our common stock is held through a non-U.S. broker (or other non-U.S. intermediary) that is not FATCA compliant. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. Stockholder may be eligible for refunds or credits of the tax. Non-U.S. Stockholders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in shares of our common stock, including the potential applicability of any intergovernmental agreements entered into between the United States and countries in which such applicable Non-U.S. Stockholders are resident or maintain a branch.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        Annual reporting to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Stockholder will be required as to the amount of dividends paid to such Non-U.S. Stockholder and the amount, if any, of tax withheld with respect to such dividends. This information may also be made available to the tax authorities in the Non-U.S. Stockholder's country of residence. Dividends generally are not subject to "backup withholding" if the Non-U.S. Stockholder properly certifies as to its non-U.S. status (usually by completing an IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI).

        The payment of the proceeds of the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock to or through the U.S. office of a broker will be subject to both backup withholding and information reporting unless the Non-U.S. Stockholder certifies its non-U.S. status on IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI or otherwise establishes an exemption. Information reporting requirements, but generally not backup withholding, will also generally apply to payments of the proceeds of a sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock by non-U.S. offices of U.S. brokers or non-U.S. brokers with certain types of relationships to the United States unless the Non-U.S. Stockholder certifies its non-U.S. status or otherwise establishes an exemption.

S-11

Table of Contents

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from payments made to a Non-U.S. Stockholder may be refunded or credited against such Non-U.S. Stockholder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Estate Tax

        A Non-U.S. Stockholder who is an individual should note that shares of our common stock (i) owned and held by such individual or (ii) otherwise includible in such individual's gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, where such shares are owned and held by a trust funded by such individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), generally will be, absent an applicable treaty, treated as U.S.-situs property subject to U.S. federal estate tax. Accordingly, Non-U.S. Stockholders who are individuals may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax on all or a portion of the value of our common stock owned, directly or indirectly, at the time of their death. Prospective investors who are non-resident alien individuals (or entities includible in such an individual's gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the potential U.S. federal estate tax consequences of owning our common stock.

UNDERWRITING

        Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is acting as the underwriter for this offering. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement among us, the selling stockholder and the underwriter, the selling stockholder has agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase from the selling stockholder, 1,800,000 shares of common stock.

        Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the underwriter has agreed to purchase all of the shares sold under the underwriting agreement if it purchases any of these shares.

        We and the selling stockholder have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or to contribute to payments the underwriter may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

        The underwriter proposes to offer our shares of common stock directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $0.50 per share. After the public offering of the shares, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriter. The offering of the shares by the underwriter is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriter's right to reject any order in whole or in part. Sales of shares made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriter.

        The underwriting fee is equal to the public offering price per share of common stock less the amount paid by the underwriter to the selling stockholder per share of common stock. The underwriting fee is $0.71 per share. The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriter.

        The expenses of this offering, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholder but not including underwriting discounts or transfer taxes, if any, are estimated at $200,000 and are payable by us. We are reimbursing the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriter in connection with any required review by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. in connection with this offering (which shall not exceed $20,000) and the qualification of the shares of our common stock being offered under state securities laws, including the preparation of a blue sky survey (which shall not exceed $5,000).

No Sales of Similar Securities

        We, all of our directors and executive officers and the selling stockholder have agreed not to sell or transfer any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, for 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement without first obtaining the written consent of the underwriter. Specifically, we and these other persons have agreed, with certain limited exceptions, not to directly or indirectly:

•

•

sell any option or contract to purchase any shares of our common stock,



•

purchase any option or contract to sell any shares of our common stock,



•

grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of any shares of our common stock,



•

otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of common stock,

•

enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of any shares of our common stock, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of our common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, we and these other persons may engage in one or more of the following transfers without the written consent of the underwriter, subject to certain conditions:

(i)

with respect to the selling stockholder, sales of any shares of our common stock to us or to the underwriter pursuant to the underwriting agreement;



(ii)

certain transfers pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of our common stock involving a change of control of us provided that our common stock remains subject to the foregoing restrictions if the transaction is not completed and subject to certain reporting conditions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act");



(iii)

bona fide gifts;



(iv)

certain transfers to immediate family member or trusts for the direct or indirect benefit of the transferor or immediate family members;

(vii)

transfers to affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by, or under common control or management with, the transferor provided that certain reporting conditions under the Exchange Act are met and that the recipient has entered into a lock-up agreement with the underwriter; or



(viii)

with respect to the selling stockholder, any repurchase by us of shares of our common stock provided that certain reporting conditions under the Exchange Act are met,

provided further, however, that in cases of clauses (iii) through (vii) above, the underwriter receives a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the lock-up period from each donee, trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be.

        Furthermore, these other persons may sell shares of our common stock purchased by one or more of these other persons on the open market following this offering if and only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the SEC, or otherwise, and (ii) these other persons do not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such sales under the Exchange Act.

        In addition, nothing in the foregoing restrictions shall restrict the ability of these other persons to (a) purchase shares of our common stock on the open market, (b) exercise any option to purchase shares of our common stock granted pursuant to the terms of our equity incentive plans, provided that any such purchased shares will be subject to the restrictions described in a lock-up agreement; or (c) transfer securities to us, or permit us to withhold securities from such other persons, in connection with a cashless exercise of securities pursuant to the terms of our equity incentive plans or the payment of taxes associated with the vesting or exercise of securities granted pursuant to the terms of any such plan provided that certain reporting conditions under the Exchange Act are met.

        This lock-up provision applies to our common stock and to securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock. It also applies to our common stock owned now or

acquired later by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing the agreement later acquires the power of disposition.

        Our common stock trades on the NYSE under the symbol "VRTV."

Price Stabilization, Short Positions

        Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit the underwriter from bidding for and purchasing our common stock. However, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.

        In connection with this offering, the underwriter may purchase and sell our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of shares than it is required to purchase in this offering. The underwriter must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of common stock made by the underwriter in the open market prior to the completion of this offering.

        These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriter may conduct these transactions on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

        Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Electronic Distribution

        In connection with this offering, the underwriter or certain of the securities dealers may distribute this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus by electronic means, such as e-mail.

Other Relationships

        The underwriter and its affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

        In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriter and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

By using a shelf registration statement, the selling stockholder may sell shares of our common stock from time to time in one or more offerings. Each time the shares are offered, a supplement to this prospectus will be provided that contains information about the specific terms of that offering. The supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, you should rely on the prospectus supplement. Before purchasing any shares of our common stock, you should read carefully both this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, together with the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein (as described below under the heading "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference") and therein, and the additional information described below under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information."

        This prospectus, which forms a part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement. For further information with respect to us and our common stock, reference is made to the registration statement, including the exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference therein. Statements contained in this prospectus as to the contents of any contract or other document referred to in this prospectus are not necessarily complete and, where that contract or other document is an exhibit to the registration statement, we refer you to the full text of the contract or other document filed as an exhibit to the registration statement.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain "forward-looking statements" subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Where possible, the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "should," "will," "would," "planned," "estimated," "potential," "goal," "outlook," "may," "predicts," "could," or the negative of such terms, or other comparable expressions, as they relate to the Company or its business, have been used to identify such Table of Contents forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements reflect only the Company's current beliefs and assumptions with respect to future operating results, performance, business plans, prospects, guidance and other matters, and are based on information currently available to the Company. Accordingly, the statements are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, which could cause the Company's actual operating results, performance, business plans or prospects to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements.

        Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include risks and other factors described under "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and elsewhere in the Company's publicly available reports filed with the SEC, which contain a discussion of various factors that may affect the Company's business or financial results. Such risks and other factors, which in some instances are beyond the Company's control, include: the industry-wide decline in demand for paper and related products; increased competition from existing and non-traditional sources; adverse developments in general business and economic conditions as well as conditions in the global capital and credit markets; foreign currency fluctuations; our ability to collect trade receivables from customers to whom we extend credit; our ability to attract, train and retain highly qualified employees; the effects of work stoppages, union negotiations and union disputes; loss of significant customers; changes in business conditions in our international operations; procurement and other risks in obtaining packaging, paper and facility products from our suppliers for resale to our customers; changes in prices for raw materials; fuel cost increases; inclement weather, anti-terrorism measures and other disruptions to the transportation network; our dependence on a variety of IT and telecommunications systems and the Internet; our reliance on third-party vendors for various services; cyber-security risks; costs to comply with laws, rules and regulations, including environmental, health and safety laws, and to satisfy any liability or obligation imposed under such laws; regulatory changes and judicial rulings impacting our business; adverse results from litigation, governmental investigations or audits, or tax-related proceedings or audits; our inability to renew existing leases on acceptable terms, negotiate rent decreases or concessions and identify affordable real estate; our ability to adequately protect our material intellectual property and other proprietary rights, or to defend successfully against intellectual property infringement claims by third parties; our pension and health care costs and participation in multi-employer plans; increasing interest rates; our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our debt; our ability to comply with the covenants contained in our debt agreements; our ability to refinance or restructure our debt on reasonable terms and conditions as might be necessary from time to time; changes in accounting standards and methodologies; our ability to realize the anticipated synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities from the merger with UWW Holdings, Inc., our ability to integrate the xpedx business with the Unisource business, and the possibility of incurring expenditures in excess of those currently budgeted in connection with the integration; and other events of which we are presently unaware or that we currently deem immaterial that may result in unexpected adverse operating results.

RISK FACTORS

        An investment in our common stock involves certain risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully read and consider the information set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" in the applicable prospectus supplement and under the heading "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (which information is incorporated by reference herein), as well as the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus or in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or not identified may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The market price of our common stock could decline if one or more of these risks and uncertainties actually occurs, causing you to lose all or part of the money you paid to buy shares of our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We will not receive any proceeds from any sales of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholder.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK

        The following is a summary of the material terms of our common stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") and our charter and bylaws as in effect at the time of any offering. Copies of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See "Where You Can Find More Information." References in this section to "we," "company," "us" and "our" refer only to Veritiv Corporation.

Common Stock

        Our authorized common stock consists of 100,000,000 shares, par value $0.01 per share. As of February 1, 2017, there were 15,687,532 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

        Holders of common stock are entitled:

•

to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of common stock;



•

to participate equally in all dividends, if any, that the board of directors may declare with respect to the common stock out of legally available funds; and



•

to share equally, subject to any rights and preferences that may be applicable to preferred stock, in any distribution of the assets of the company, including distributions in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the company.

        Any dividends declared on our common stock will not be cumulative. We do not intend to declare and pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth, to develop our business, for working capital needs and for general corporate purposes. Any payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors then existing, including earnings, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to payment of dividends, restrictions imposed by applicable law, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

        The holders of our common stock do not have any preemptive, cumulative voting, subscription, conversion, redemption or sinking fund rights. Our common stock is not subject to future calls or assessments by us. The rights and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to any series of preferred stock that we may issue in the future.

Annual Stockholders Meeting

        Our amended and restated bylaws provide that annual stockholder meetings will be held at a date, time and place, if any, as exclusively selected by our board of directors. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we may conduct meetings by remote communications, including by webcast.

Voting

        The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present, in person or by proxy, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders and entitled to vote will decide all matters voted on by stockholders, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of law, under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or under our amended and restated bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such provision will control.

Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

        The provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and of the DGCL summarized below may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider in your best interest, including an attempt that might result in your receipt of a premium over the market price for your shares. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors, which could result in an improvement of their terms.

        Special Meetings of Stockholders.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, subject to the requirements of applicable law and any special rights of holders of preferred stock, a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of our board of directors or by a resolution adopted by a majority of our board of directors. Special meetings may also be called by the holders of not less than 20% of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

        Stockholder Action by Written Consent.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that any action that may be taken at any meeting of stockholders may be taken by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting if a consent in writing is (i) initiated by the holders of not less than 20% of the total votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all the outstanding capital stock of the company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, (ii) signed by the holders having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all shares of common stock entitled to vote were present and voted and (iii) delivered to us.

        Removal of Directors.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that directors may be removed with or without cause at any time upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the votes to which all the stockholders would be entitled to cast.

        Stockholder Advance Notice Procedure.    Our amended and restated bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders to make nominations of candidates for election as directors or to bring other business before an annual meeting of our stockholders. The amended and restated bylaws provide that any stockholders wishing to nominate persons for election as directors at, or bring other business before, an annual meeting must deliver to our Corporate Secretary a written notice of the stockholder's intention to do so. These provisions may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company. To be timely, the stockholder's notice must be delivered to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days before the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is set for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after the first anniversary date of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to our Corporate Secretary (x) not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the meeting or (y) no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which a public announcement of the date of the such meeting is first made by us.

        Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that it may be amended by both the affirmative vote of a majority of our board of directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock then entitled to vote at any annual or special meeting of stockholders; provided that specified provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may not be amended, altered or repealed unless the amendment is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least

---

a majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock then entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, including the provisions governing:

•

the liability and indemnification of directors;



•

business opportunities;



•

stockholder action by written consent;



•

the rights of stockholders to call a special meeting;



•

our board of directors;



•

required approval of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock to amend our amended and restated bylaws and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and;



•

exclusive jurisdiction for certain actions.

        In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that our amended and restated bylaws may be amended, altered or repealed, or new bylaws may be adopted, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors, or by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

        These provisions make it more difficult for any person to remove or amend any provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that may have an anti-takeover effect.

        Section 203 of the DGCL.    In our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, as permitted under and pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of Section 203. Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Accordingly, we are not subject to any anti-takeover effects of Section 203.

        Interested Stockholder Transactions.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will not engage in a business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:

•

prior to such time, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;



•

upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the company outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or



•

at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66²/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation defines "business combination" to include the following:

any merger or consolidation of the company or a majority-owned subsidiary with the interested stockholder;



•

any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of the assets of the company or the aggregate market value of all of the company's outstanding capital stock;



•

subject to specified exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the company or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of any stock of the company or such subsidiary to the interested stockholder;



•

any transaction involving the company or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the company or such subsidiary beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or



•

any receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit (except proportionately as a stockholder) of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the company or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary.

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation defines an "interested stockholder" as any entity or person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the company. Bain Capital Fund VII, L.P., Georgia-Pacific LLC or any of their respective affiliates or associates, including any investment funds managed by the investment advisor to Bain Capital Fund VII, L.P., or any person whose ownership of shares in excess of the 15% limitation is the result of action taken solely by the company is not considered an interested stockholder, unless such person acquires additional shares of voting stock of the company.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions permitted under the DGCL relating to the liability of directors. These provisions eliminate a director's personal liability for monetary damages resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty, except in circumstances involving:

•

any breach of the director's duty of loyalty;



•

acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;



•

under Section 174 of the DGCL (unlawful dividends); or



•

any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

        The principal effect of the limitation on liability provision is that a stockholder will be unable to prosecute an action for monetary damages against a director unless the stockholder can demonstrate a basis for liability for which indemnification is not available under the DGCL. These provisions, however, should not limit or eliminate our rights or any stockholder's rights to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of director's fiduciary duty. These provisions do not alter a director's liability under federal securities laws. The inclusion of this provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for a breach of their fiduciary duties, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our stockholders.

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires us to indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL and other applicable law, except in the case of a proceeding instituted by the director without the approval of our board of directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we are required to indemnify our directors and executive officers, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for all judgments, fines, settlements, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with pending or threatened legal proceedings because of the director's or officer's positions with us or another entity that the director or officer serves as a director or officer at our request, subject to various conditions, and to advance funds to our directors and officers to enable them to defend against such proceedings.

        We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors. The indemnification agreements provide our directors with contractual rights to the indemnification and expense advancement rights provided under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as well as contractual rights to additional indemnification as provided in the indemnification agreement.

Business Opportunities

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we, on our behalf and on behalf of our subsidiaries, renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities, that are from time to time presented to UWW Holdings, LLC or Bain Capital Fund VII, L.P. or any of their respective officers, directors, members, partners, employees or affiliates (other than us and our subsidiaries), even if the opportunity is one that we or our subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so. Neither UWW Holdings, LLC, Bain Capital Fund VII, L.P. nor their respective officers, directors, members, partners, employees or affiliates will generally be liable to us or any of our subsidiaries for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to us or our subsidiaries unless, in the case of any such person who is a director, officer, employee or agent of Veritiv, such business opportunity is presented or offered to such director, officer, employee or agent in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of Veritiv. By becoming a stockholder in our company, you will be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Choice of Forum

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Veritiv, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed to Veritiv or Veritiv's stockholders by any of Veritiv's directors, officers or employees, (iii) any action asserting a claim against Veritiv arising under the DGCL or (iv) any action asserting a claim against Veritiv that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. We may consent in writing to alternative forums. By becoming a stockholder in our company, you will be deemed to have notice of and have consented to the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation related to choice of forum.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

        The selling stockholder named in this prospectus may offer to sell, from time to time, up to 6,083,840 shares of our common stock. The selling stockholder received such shares in connection with the Merger. In connection with the Merger, we and the selling stockholder are party to a registration rights agreement that provides the selling stockholder with customary demand and piggyback registration rights, and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part was filed in connection therewith. In connection with the Merger, we and the selling stockholder also entered into a tax receivable agreement that sets forth the terms by which we generally will be obligated to pay the selling stockholder an amount equal to 85% of the U.S. federal, state and Canadian income tax savings that we actually realize as a result of the utilization of Unisource's net operating losses attributable to taxable periods prior to the date of the Merger. In the normal course of business, we also purchase certain inventory items from, and sell certain inventory items to, Georgia-Pacific LLC, which holds an interest in the selling stockholder. Other than as described above, the selling stockholder has had no material relationship with us within the last three years.

        The following table provides the name of the selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock currently held by the selling stockholder, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be offered by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares of our common stock that will be held by the selling stockholder after the offering, assuming all of the offered shares are sold. The selling stockholder reserves the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed sale of shares. The selling stockholder may also offer and sell less than the number of shares indicated. The selling stockholder is not making any representation that any shares covered by this prospectus will or will not be offered for sale.

        The following table sets forth information with respect to our common stock known to us to be beneficially owned by the selling stockholder as of February 1, 2017. Information about the selling stockholder may change over time. As used in this prospectus, the term "selling stockholder" includes the successors-in-interest, donees, transferees or others who may later hold the selling stockholder's interests.

        Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based on our records, information filed with the SEC or information furnished to us by the selling stockholder. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power and investment power with respect to those securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        The selling stockholder may sell the shares offered under this prospectus in one or more of the following ways (or in any combination) from time to time:

•

to or through underwriters;



•

through agents;



•

through brokers or dealers;



•

directly to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process or in privately negotiated transactions;



•

through a combination of such methods; or



•

through any other method permitted by applicable law.

        A supplement to this prospectus will describe the particular terms of any offering of shares, including the following:

•

the names of any underwriters, agents, brokers or dealers or any selling stockholder;



•

the purchase price of the shares and the proceeds to be received from the sale;



•

any discounts or commissions and other items constituting underwriters' or agents' compensation; and



•

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

        If underwriters are used in the sale, such underwriters will acquire the shares for their own account. The underwriters may resell the shares in one or more transactions, at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

        The shares may be offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares will be subject to certain conditions. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the shares offered if any of the shares are purchased.

        The selling stockholder may sell the shares through agents or dealers designated by them. Any agent or dealer involved in the offer or sale of the shares for which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable to that agent or dealer by the selling stockholder will be set forth, in the prospectus supplement. Unless indicated in the prospectus supplement, the agents will agree to use their reasonable efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment and any dealer will purchase the shares from the selling stockholder as principal and may resell those shares at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

        Underwriters, dealers or agents may facilitate the marketing of an offering online directly or through one of their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and, depending upon the particular underwriter, dealer or agent, place orders online or through their financial advisors.

        Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees received by them from the selling stockholder and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

        We or the selling stockholder may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make, and to reimburse them for certain expenses.

        In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), the aggregate maximum discount, commission, fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of the gross proceeds of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

        If at the time of any offering made under this prospectus a member of FINRA participating in the offering has a "conflict of interest" as defined in FINRA Rule 5121 ("Rule 5121"), that offering will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of Rule 5121.

        In order to facilitate the offering of the shares, any underwriters or agents, as the case may be, involved in the offering of such shares may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock. Specifically, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in our common stock for their own account. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of our common stock, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may bid for, and purchase, such shares in the open market. Finally, in any offering of shares through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allotted to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing such shares in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed shares in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the shares above independent market levels. The underwriters or agents, as the case may be, are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

        The selling stockholder may solicit offers to purchase the shares directly from, and it may sell such securities directly to, institutional investors or others. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. The terms of any of those sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if utilized, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

        It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in our common stock, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for our common stock, which trades on the NYSE under the symbol "VRTV."

        The selling stockholder may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the shares at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we or the selling stockholder pay for solicitation of these contracts.

        The selling stockholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell shares not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the parties may sell shares covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use shares pledged by the selling stockholder or borrowed from the selling stockholder to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of the shares, and may use the shares received from the selling stockholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of the shares. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter

and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

        The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us or the selling stockholder, or perform services for us or the selling stockholder, in the ordinary course of business.

        The selling stockholder may transfer the shares in ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including directly by gift, distribution or other transfer. The selling stockholder may also sell any of the shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
