Gottwald, Jr. and an aggregate of 4,647,269 shares beneficially owned by the adult sons of Bruce C. Gottwald. Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr., Bruce C. Gottwald and their adult sons own an aggregate of 21,002,330 shares, which constitute 25.17% of the outstanding shares. Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr., Bruce C. Gottwald and their adult sons have no agreement with respect to the acquisition, retention, disposition or voting of the Issuer's Common Stock. The filing of this statement on Schedule 13G shall not be construed as an admission that for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr. or Bruce C. Gottwald are the beneficial owners of 316,755 shares described in Items 4(c)(i) and (iii) or the shares described in Items 4(c)(ii) and (iv). See Item 6 below. (1) This amount includes 316,755 shares owned by a charitable foundation for which members of the Gottwald family serve as the sole directors. Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr. and Bruce C. Gottwald disclaim any beneficial interest in any shares held in the foundation. (2) This amount does not include shares owned of record by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as Trustee under the Issuer's savings plan (the "Plan") for its employees that are held for the benefit of employees other than Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr. and Bruce C. Page 5 of 8 Pages Gottwald. Shares held by the Trustee under the Plan for the benefit of Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr. and Bruce C. Gottwald are included in Items (4)(c)(i) and (iii) above. Shares held under the Plan are voted by the Trustee in accordance with instructions solicited from employees participating in the Plan. If a participating employee does not give the Trustee voting instructions, his shares are voted by the Trustee in accordance with management's recommendations to the shareholders. Because Bruce C. Gottwald is an executive officer and director of the Issuer and members of the Gottwald family are the largest shareholders of the Issuer, they may be deemed to be control persons of the Issuer and to have the capacity to control any such recommendation of management.

Gottwald, Jr. and Bruce C. Gottwald are brothers. This statement on Schedule 13G is being filed on behalf of Floyd D. Page 6 of 8 Pages Gottwald, Jr. and Bruce C. Gottwald because they could be deemed to be a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and this statement on Schedule 13G even though there is no agreement among them with respect to the acquisition, retention, disposition or voting of the Issuer's Common Stock.
