The Transactions

14.We note your disclosure that Glatfelter initiated contact with Berry in July 2023, reviewed
other potential counterparties in September and October 2023 and determined these were
“unlikely to be actionable in the foreseeable future,” but then contacted four potential
counterparties in January 2024, each of which declined to pursue a strategic transaction
with Glatfelter by February 2024. Please revise to discuss the Board’s decision-making
process, including the reasons why Berry was originally contacted as the sole counterparty
and other potential counterparties were not contacted until later in the process.

binding proposal did or did not submit a proposal and, if so, discuss the material terms and
how the Board evaluated the proposal.

like to submit an offer for a potential all-cash acquisition, and the Board determined the
communication “did not provide a basis for any discussions.” Please revise to further
elaborate on the Board’s reasons for not pursuing discussions with such party, for instance
to determine the “potential purchase price or additional details as to the parameters or
viability of such potential alternative transaction” lacking in the communication.
Additionally disclose whether the Board provided notice to Berry of a Glatfelter
Acquisition Proposal as described on page 172.
16.Please revise disclosure in this section to more clearly and fully describe negotiations
relating to material terms of the transactions, including the consideration, financing,
minimum cash amount, minimum net working capital, assets and liabilities comprising the
HHNF Business, and solvency opinion. In your revised disclosure, please explain the
reasons for the terms, each party's position on the issues (including proposals and counter-
proposals), and how you reached agreement on the final terms. Additionally describe the
amendments to the Spinco Commitment Letter referenced on page 176.

takes into account potential dilution resulting from the transactions, and discuss whether
and how the Board considered this factor.

tax disclosure so that it is consistent with your receipt of tax opinions, discloses counsel’s
opinions on the material tax consequences, and does not assume the legal conclusions that
the Spinco Distribution will qualify as a tax-free distribution under Section 355 of the
Code and the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.
