(a)	The Pay Versus Performance table reflects required disclosures for fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020.

(b)	For fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020, Mr. Sutton was the Principle Executive Officer (PEO) for the Company.

(c)

The Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) was calculated beginning with the PEO’s Summary Compensation Table (SCT) total then deducting the aggregate change in actuarial present value of his accumulated benefit under all defined benefit and actuarial pension plans reported in the SCT; deducting the amounts reported in the SCT for performance share awards; adding the fair value as of the end of the covered fiscal year of all awards granted during the fiscal year that are outstanding and unvested as of the fiscal year-end; adding the amount equal to the change in fair value as of the end of the covered fiscal year, whether positive or negative, of any awards granted in any prior fiscal year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the covered fiscal year; adding the amount equal to the change in fair value as of the vesting date, whether positive or negative, of any award granted in any prior fiscal year for which all applicable vesting conditions were satisfied at the end of or during the covered fiscal year. Relative to the PEO’s CAP, the following amounts were deducted from and added to SCT total compensation.

PEO SCT Total to CAP Reconciliation:

(ii)	Represents the grant date fair value of equity-based awards granted each year and the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of accumulated benefit under pension.

(iii)

There is no pension service cost for the PEO. Therefore, an addition to the SCT Total related to pension is not applicable. Also, the additions to the SCT Total reflect the value of equity calculated in accordance with the SEC methodology for determining CAP for each year shown. The equity component of CAP for fiscal year 2022 is further detailed in the supplemental table below. The equity awards were revalued using the Sylvamo pre-spin share counts and Monte Carlo values for the relative TSR PSUs, and the post-spin adjusted share prices for the ROIC PSUs. The ROIC payout percentages match the Company’s financial accounting for compensation expense purposes. See

Supplemental

table below.

The amount represents an initial fixed $100 Investment in the Company’s Peer Group on December 31, 2019 assuming reinvestment of all dividends. We modified our selected peer group in 2022 to reflect the impact of the 2021 spin-off of our Printing Papers business. Following the spin-off, we no longer had a Printing Papers segment and therefore determined it was appropriate to modify the peer group to better align those peer companies with the business activities of the post spin-off Company. Our peer group prior to the 2022 change included the following companies: Graphic Packaging Holding Company, Klabin S.A., Metsa Board Corporation, Mondi Group, Packaging Corporation of America, Smurfit Kappa Group, Stora Enso Group, UPM-Kymmene Corp., and WestRock Company.
