THE COMPANY
Xerox is a New York corporation with its principal executive offices
located at 800 Long Ridge Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06904, telephone (203)
968-3000.
Xerox is The Document Company and a leader in the global document market,
providing document services that enhance productivity. References herein to
"Xerox" refer to Xerox and consolidated subsidiaries unless the context
specifically requires otherwise. Xerox distributes its products in the
Western Hemisphere through divisions and wholly-owned subsidiaries. In Europe,
Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia, Xerox distributes through Rank
Xerox Limited and related companies ("Rank Xerox") in which Xerox has an 80
percent financial interest and The Rank Organisation Plc ("RO") has a 20
percent financial interest. In Japan and other areas of the Pacific Rim,
Australia and New Zealand, Document Processing products are distributed by
Fuji Xerox Co. Ltd., an unconsolidated joint venture, which is equally owned
by Fuji Photo Film Company, Ltd. of Japan and Rank Xerox. On February 28,
1995, Xerox paid RO 620 million pounds sterling, or $972 million, to increase
Xerox' financial interest in Rank Xerox to 80 percent from 67 percent.
3
In January 1996, Xerox announced agreements to sell its remaining
property and casualty insurance units to investor groups led by Kohlberg
Kravis Roberts & Co. and existing management for consideration totaling $2.7
billion. Xerox expects the transactions will close in the middle of 1996. As
a result, results from insurance operations are now accounted for as
discontinued operations and all prior periods have been restated. Therefore,
the Document Processing business is the only component of Continuing
Operations.
Xerox' Document Processing activities encompass developing,
manufacturing, marketing, servicing and financing a complete range of document
processing products and services designed to make offices around the world
more productive. Xerox believes that documents will play a central role in
business, government, education and other organizations far into the future
and that efficient processing of documents offers significant opportunities
for productivity improvements. The financing of Xerox equipment is generally
carried out by Xerox Credit Corporation in the United States and
internationally by foreign financing subsidiaries and divisions in most
countries that Xerox operates. Document Processing operations employed 85,200
people worldwide at year-end 1995.
In 1993, Xerox announced a worldwide Document Processing restructuring
program to significantly reduce the cost base and to improve productivity.
Xerox' objectives were to reduce its worldwide work force by more than 10,000
employees and to close or consolidate a number of facilities. To date, the
activities associated with the 1993 restructuring program have reduced
employment by 12,000 and achieved pre-tax cost savings of approximately $650
million in 1995 and $350 million in 1994. However, Xerox has reinvested a
portion of these savings to reengineer business processes, support the
expansion in growth markets, and mitigate anticipated continuing pricing
pressures.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The following table shows the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the
periods indicated.
Year ended December 31 (in millions) 1995 1994 1993* 1992 1991
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ratio of earnings to
fixed charges (1)(2) 3.58 3.23 0.66 2.34 2.24
- ---------------------------
(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed based on the
Company's continuing operations by dividing total earnings available for
fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest, by total fixed charges.
Fixed charges consist of interest, including capitalized interest, and
one-third of rent expense as representative of the interest portion of
rentals. Debt has been assigned to discontinued operations based on
historical levels assigned to the businesses when they were continuing
operations adjusted for subsequent paydowns. The discontinued operations
consist of the Company's Insurance and Other Financial Services businesses
and its real-estate development and third-party financing businesses.
(2) The Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes the effect of
the Company's finance subsidiaries, which primarily finance Xerox
equipment. Financing businesses are more highly
4
leveraged and, therefore, tend to operate at lower earnings to fixed
charges ratio levels than do non-financial businesses.
* 1993 earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges. The coverage
deficiency was $249 million.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
On November 15, 1989, the shareholders of XCI approved an amendment to
the Articles of XCI whereby the conditions of its Common Shares would be
amended and to redesignate such shares as Non-Voting Exchangeable Class B
Shares ("XCI Exchangeable Shares") and to entitle the holders thereof to elect
to exchange such shares for shares of Xerox Common Stock at the exchange rate
of three XCI Exchangeable Shares for one share of Xerox Common Stock, as
adjusted for any subdivision, reduction, combination or consolidation thereof
(the "Exchangeable Share Proposal").
The Xerox Board of Directors has authorized the proper officers of Xerox
to from time to time issue and deliver to XCI, in connection with the
Exchangeable Share Proposal, shares of Common Stock not to exceed a total of
three million shares, as adjusted for any subdivision, reduction, combination,
consolidation thereof, for a cash consideration equal to the then current
market price, but not less than the par value of such shares. XCI may
purchase such shares of Common Stock from Xerox to satisfy requests for
exchange of XCI Exchangeable Shares for shares of Common Stock. This
Prospectus relates to such shares of Common Stock.
The Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, has been
filed because the number of shares of Xerox Common Stock originally registered
under a prior Registration Statement may prove insufficient to satisfy the
exchange privilege with regard to all outstanding shares of Exchangeable Stock
and those underlying outstanding stock options issued by XCI to certain of its
employees.
LEGAL OPINION
The validity of the shares of Common Stock to be offered hereby will be
passed upon for the Company by Martin S. Wagner, Esq., Associate General
Counsel, Corporate, Finance and Ventures of the Company.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements and schedule of the Company and
consolidated subsidiaries included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1995, incorporated by reference herein and elsewhere
in the Registration Statement, have been incorporated by reference herein and
in the Registration Statement in reliance upon the reports set forth therein of
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants, incorporated
by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in
accounting and auditing.

mation or to make any representations, other than those contained in this
Prospectus, in connection with the offer contained in this Prospectus, and, if

affairs of the Company since the date hereof or that the information contained
herein is correct as of any time subsequent to its date. This Prospectus does

venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in any

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of the securities
registered hereby are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement (i) to include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"); (ii) to reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement; and (iii) to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs
(i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by the Company pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference
in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

of the
Certificate of Incorporation
of
Xerox Corporation
Under Section 805 of the Business Corporation Law
We, the undersigned, Eunice M. Filter, Vice President and Martin
S. Wagner, Assistant Secretary of Xerox Corporation (the "Corporation")
hereby certify that:
1. The name of the Corporation is "XEROX CORPORATION". The
name under which the Corporation was formed is "THE HALOID COMPANY".
2. The Certificate of Incorporation was filed by the Department
of State on April 18, 1906 under the name The Haloid Company.
3. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby being
amended pursuant to Section 805 of the BCL (i) to reduce the number of
authorized shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of
the Corporation ("Cumulative Preferred Stock") and (ii) to reduce the stated
capital of the Corporation resulting from the elimination, pursuant to Section
515(e) of the BCL and subdivision 4 of Article FOURTH of the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, of 500,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred
Stock (consisting of 500,000 shares of the Corporation's $3.6875 Ten-Year
Sinking Fund Preferred Stock, a series of Cumulative Preferred Stock)
heretofore acquired by the Corporation by a sinking fund redemption.
Subdivision 4 of Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
