§ IV·SE-Cluster Issuer Brief

Filing language.

Direct excerpts from acquisition disclosures and strategy sections: the verbs the buyer chose, in the filings they signed.

New acquisitions, such as our October 2011 acquisition of Terphane and our October 2012 acquisition of AACOA, can provide meaningful opportunities to grow our business and improve profitability.

10-KFY2013

While our strategy is to acquire businesses that will improve our competitiveness and profitability, acquisitions may not be successful or accretive to earnings.

10-KFY2013

In 2014, Film Products lost certain babycare elastic laminate volumes sold to P&G due to P&G’s consolidation of suppliers for its North American product needs. Annualized net sales to P&G associated with these plastic films were approximately $51 million. While it continues to identify new business opportunities with P&G, Film Products is also working to expand its customer base in order to create long-term growth and profitability by (1) actively competing for new business with various customers across its full product portfolio, (2) expanding capacity in emerging markets, (3) introducing new products and/or improvements to existing applications, and (4) investigating opportunities to diversify its customer and product offerings through additional acquisitions. There is no assurance that these efforts to expand the revenue base and mitigate this or any future loss of sales and profits from P&G will be successful.

10-KFY2014

Tredegar may not be able to successfully execute its acquisition strategy. New acquisitions, such as the October 2011 acquisition of Terphane Holdings LLC (“Terphane”) and the October 2012 acquisition of AACOA, can provide meaningful opportunities to grow the Company’s business and improve profitability. Acquired businesses may not achieve expected levels of revenue, profit or productivity, or otherwise perform as expected. Acquisitions involve special risks, including, without limitation, diversion of management’s time and attention from existing businesses, the potential assumption of unanticipated liabilities and contingencies and potential difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving anticipated operational improvements. While the Company’s strategy is to acquire businesses that will improve its competitiveness and profitability, acquisitions may not be successful or accretive to earnings.
