Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 18, 2024, The ODP Corporation (the “Company”) sold its Varis Division (“Varis”) to an affiliate of Arising Ventures, while retaining a minority interest of 19.9% after the sale. Under the terms of the related stock purchase agreement, the Company will fund up to $4 million of expenses that may be incurred by Varis following the transaction date until December 31, 2025, and has no further obligations to contribute capital to Varis. The completion of the sale of Varis aligns with the Company’s previously stated objectives of finalizing its capital commitment to Varis while providing the Company with a continued invested interest in future opportunities. The terms of the sale did not result in a materially different impact than previously estimated on the Company’s financial statements.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
