        <footnote id="F1">On December 27, 2010, a wholly owned subsidiary of Clearwater Paper Corporation merged with Cellu Tissue Holdings, Inc. pursuant to a merger agreement entered into between Clearwater Paper and Cellu Tissue on September 15, 2010 (the &quot;Merger&quot;), as more fully described in the Cellu Tissue proxy statement dated December 1, 2010 filed with the SEC. Each share of common stock of Cellu Tissue was converted into $12.00 in cash. Cellu Tissue board of directors approved the disposition by the Reporting Person in the Merger.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Reporting person disclaims beneficial interest in the securities held by the LLC except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">In connection with the Merger, each outstanding Cellu Tissue option to purchase shares of common stock, whether or not vested, was cancelled and Reporting Person received a cash payment in an amount equal to the number of shares of common stock represented by each option, vested or unvested, multiplied by the excess, if any, of $12.00 over the exercise price per share under each option. Reporting Person's disposition of options in the Merger was approved by the Cellu Tissue board of directors.</footnote>
