3/27/00 2. APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN The
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan was approved by shareholders in 1989 and
amended by them in 1994 and 1999 (the "Plan"). The Plan is
administered by the
Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee")
which is composed solely of non-employee directors. It provides for performance-related
incentives to management personnel in the form of stock options,
performance awards and other restricted stock awards. The Board of Directors
believes that the Plan has promoted the Company's interests and those of
shareholders by providing opportunities to attract, retain, and motivate key employees
through these awards. Further, the Board
believes that the Company should
continue to utilize awards under it as part of a competitive compensation program
and as a means of encouraging its employees to own stock in the Company. Towards
that end, the Company has expanded the awarding of options as incentives to
most employees at the managerial
level. The
Plan is also being changed to specifically establish "continuity
awards" as a
separate class of awards, different from the
Executive
Continuity Award. The Executive
Continuity Awards are awarded to senior executives by the Committee and
are limited to tandem awards of restricted stock and stock options. Basically,
there will be no change to these awards. The
new "continuity awards" would
be awards of restricted stock, designed to reward certain employees and motivate
them to achieve goals set by the Committee or its delegate. The
Committee lifted restrictions on earned, mandatorily deferred performance share
awards under the Company's restricted stock plan, and granted contingent awards
under the Company's Transitional Performance Unit Plan to named executives
as described above. The one-time transitional awards will be earned in
full or in part, based on the level of achievement of ROI improvement as determined
by the Committee. The actual payout of these awards will not be determined
until December 2000. As
described above, the Committee granted one-time contingent awards under the Company's
Savings and Synergy Incentive Plan to four of the named executives. These
one-time awards will be earned in full or in part, based on the achievement
of the plan's stated objectives as determined by the Committee. The actual
payout of these awards will not be determined until November 2000.
In addition,
the Committee granted 150,000 fully vested stock options to Mr.
Dillon under the Chief Executive Officer Performance Incentive
Plan for successfully
accomplishing the acquisition of Union Camp Corporation. A contingent
award of 50,000 restricted stock units was granted and will be earned in
full or in part as of October 31, 2000, based upon the level of achievement of
the integration savings objective as determined by the Committee. The
Committee granted stock options for 1999 based on earlier described competitive
surveys of senior managers' total compensation packages, without consideration
of the amount of stock options already held by named executive officers.
Mr. Dillon's 1999 stock option award was
85,000; his 1998 stock option award
was 85,000; and his 1997 stock option award was 104,000 shares reflecting his
promotion to chief executive officer. RETIREMENT
BENEFITS "Pensionable
Remuneration" means salary, cash bonus and compensation deferred under
the Unfunded Savings Plan or awards deferred under the MIP. The
following table shows the total estimated annual pension benefits payable under
the Company's qualified and supplementary retirement plans upon retirement at
age 65, calculated on a straight life annuity basis and reduced by a Social Security
offset:

TERMINATION
AGREEMENTS The
Company has agreements with members of the executive officer group, providing
for payments and other benefits if there is a change of control of the Company.
In addition to the change in control, the officer's employment would need
to be terminated (i) by the Company or its successor, other than for cause, disability
or retirement, or (ii) by the officer if the chief executive officer of
the Company ceases to hold that position for reasons other than cause, retirement
or disability, or if the officer determines that by reason of adverse changes
in, among other things, the officer's authority, compensation, duties, office
location or responsibilities, the officer is unable to perform the duties and
responsibilities of the position the officer held immediately prior to the changes
in, among other things, the officer's authority, compensation, duties, office
location or responsibilities, the officer is unable to perform the duties and
responsibilities of the position the officer held immediately prior to the change
in control. Under such circumstances,
the officer will receive: (a)
continuation of medical and dental insurance coverage until age 65 or
eligibility to join a comparable plan sponsored by another employer; (b)
retiree medical coverage comparable to the Company's pre-change of control
retiree medical plan; (c)
a lump-sum payment equal to:
(i) his annual salary at
termination together with his most recent
short-term annual incentive compensation payment during the year
preceding termination, multiplied by the smaller of the number
"three"
or the number of years between the termination date and the date he
reaches age 65; and
(ii) an amount necessary to offset any special federal excise tax on all
payments received under
the termination agreement. In
addition to these provisions, Mr. Dillon's agreement can be triggered by a voluntary
termination at any time within 18 months of the change in control. The agreement
provides him with the above benefits as well as: (a)
payment of vested benefits under the pension plan which entitlement shall
include payments made under the agreement which constitute
"compensation"
under the pension plan; (b)
a lump-sum payment equal to the difference between:
(i) the
actuarial value on termination date of accrued vested pension
benefits; and
(ii) the actuarial value on termination date of what accrued pension
benefits would have been if the period and payments set out in (c)
a lump-sum payment equal to:
(ii) the average of his short-term incentive compensation award for three
years preceding termination and
(iii) the value of his average earned award under the Performance Share Award Plan (PSA) for three years preceding termination, multiplied by the number "four";
(d) a lump-sum payment equal to the value of any deferred incentive
compensation
or
Savings Plan; (e)
stock options equal to the average number of options awarded during the
three years preceding termination, multiplied by the number
"four", plus the
extension of each option
held if he had not left the Company. The
Board requires unanimous approval at a meeting of the Management Development and
Compensation Committee, and majority approval by the Board before any termination
agreement such as those described above is amended or entered into. The
potential cost of satisfying the payments called for under the above-described
termination agreements, prior to tax "gross up", if there had been
a change in control and all of the members of the executive officer group described in the Summary Compensation Table had been terminated on December 31,
1999, would have been approximately $41,000,000.
In
addition to the foregoing, the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan contains provisions
that release restrictions from stock awards and stock options for all members
of the group if there is a change of control of the Company. Also, the Supplemental
Retirement Plan for Senior Managers provides that if a change of control
of the Company occurs, pension benefits will vest immediately and the minimum
benefit will be increased from 25% to 50% of pensionable remuneration.
