As a result of the receipt of sufficient consents, Georgia-Pacific, along with the guarantors of the securities and the trustee under each applicable indenture, has executed a supplemental indenture to the applicable indentures to (1) amend such indentures to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default in the indentures and (2) effect a waiver of the provisions of certain of the indentures that require Georgia- Pacific to make an offer to purchase the securities governed by such indentures following the consummation of Koch Forest Products, Inc.'s all cash tender offer for the outstanding shares of Georgia-Pacific common stock (the "Waiver"). Although the supplemental indentures have been executed, the amendments to the indentures will not become operative, other than the Waiver, until Georgia-Pacific accepts for purchase, concurrently with the completion of the merger referred to below, all securities validly tendered on or prior to 5 p.m. EST, on the business day prior to the merger (the "Initial Acceptance Cut-Off Date").

Subject to the terms and conditions of the tender offers, holders who validly tender their securities on or prior to the Initial Acceptance Cut-Off Date and whose securities are accepted in the tender offers will be paid promptly following acceptance. Subject to the terms and conditions of the tender offers, holders who validly tender their securities after the Initial Acceptance Cut-Off Date and on or prior to midnight EST, on Friday, Dec. 30, 2005 (the "Expiration Date") will be accepted for purchase and paid for promptly following the expiration date of the tender offers.

As the Consent Date has not been extended for any series of securities, tendered securities may not be withdrawn and consents may no longer be revoked with respect to the tendered securities, except in limited circumstances.

Holders of securities who tender their securities after the Consent Date but before the Expiration Date, as such Expiration Date may be extended or earlier terminated, will be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration calculated as set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated Nov. 17, 2005 (the "Statement"), but will not be eligible to receive the Total Consideration calculated as set forth in the Statement, which includes the Consent Payment set forth in the Statement.

Georgia-Pacific is making the tender offers to purchase the securities and consent solicitations in connection with the recently announced acquisition of Georgia-Pacific by Koch Forest Products, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries, Inc. Consummation of the tender offers is subject to certain conditions, including completion of the associated merger following consummation of Koch Forest Products' all cash tender offer for shares of Georgia-Pacific common stock. Funding for tendered securities will be provided by Koch Forest Products using the proceeds of merger financing facilities. Georgia-Pacific intends to extend the expiration date of the tender offers, if necessary, so that the date it initially accepts securities for payment pursuant to the terms of the tender offers coincides with the completion of the merger.

The dealer managers for the tender offers and solicitation agents for the consent solicitations are Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking and Goldman, Sachs & Co. Persons with questions regarding the tender offers or the consent solicitations should contact Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking at (800) 558-3745 (U.S. toll free), attention: Liability Management Group or Goldman, Sachs & Co. at (800) 828-3182 (U.S. toll free) or (212) 357- 3019, attention: Credit Liability Management.
