DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to Registration Statement 333-12089 on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), filed by Glatfelter Corporation (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 16, 1996, is being filed to withdraw and deregister all shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company that had been registered and remain unsold under the Registration Statement, together with any and all plan interests and other securities registered thereunder (collectively, the “Registered Shares and Interests”).

As of the close of business on September 21, 2020, the Company merged (the “Merger”) the Glatfelter 401(k) Savings Plan for Hourly Employees (the “Hourly Plan”) with and into the Glatfelter 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Surviving Plan”). Following the Merger, no further offers or sales of Common Stock or plan interests will be made under the Hourly Plan, and this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to terminate the offering of all Registered Shares and Interests pursuant to the Registration Statement.

The Company, by filing this Post-Effective Amendment, hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and removes from registration any and all Registered Shares and Interests registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the effective date of the Merger. This filing is made in accordance with an Undertaking made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

This Post-Effective Amendment does not deregister the shares of Common Stock and associated plan interests registered with respect to the Surviving Plan.
