(a)
On April 24, 2024, a jury for the remaining DeRidder mill lawsuit that was tried in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana awarded plaintiffs compensatory damages plus interest. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company, certain of its insurers, and the plaintiffs agreed to settle the matter for $59.2 million. A description of the settlement is included in Note 19, Commitments, Guarantees, Indemnifications, and Legal Proceedings for additional detail. The remaining balance relates to other settlement amounts that are fully insured.
