In connection with its discussions with holders of debt under its first and second lien credit facilities regarding amendments to such facilities that would, among other things, permit Boise Inc. (the “Company”) to repurchase or redeem indebtedness outstanding under those facilities and the Company’s discussions with such holders to so repurchase certain of such indebtedness, the Company furnished certain information to holders of debt under its first and second lien credit facilities. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein is certain of such information.

Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate, or imply future results, performance, or achievements.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, among others, our substantial level of indebtedness; our ability to enter into amendments with respect to our first and second lien credit facilities and to issue new unsecured debt, our continued ability to comply with our financial covenants and debt service obligations; changes in the supply of, demand for, or prices of our products; the activities of competitors; changes in significant operating expenses, including raw material and energy costs; our ability to weather the current economic downturn in the United States and elsewhere; changes in the regulatory environment, including requirements for enhanced environmental compliance; and other risks and uncertainties that are detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
