Dear Valued Customer:

As you are aware New-Indy Catawba LLC and New-Indy Containerboard LLC (collectively “New-Indy”) and Resolute Forest Products (“Resolute”) announced on October 2 2018 that New-Indy will acquire substantially all of the assets of Resolute’s Catawba South Carolina pulp and paper mill. The acquisition is currently scheduled to close on or about December 31 2018 (the “Closing”). A dedicated transition services team has been established by each company to handle the transfer of the Catawba mill business from Resolute to New-Indy.
