Specifically, in the Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 20, 2012, the Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote for the approval of the Amendment and Restatement of Buckeye’s 2007 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan to authorize issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock. The issuance of the additional shares could have a severe dilutive effect on the shares of Buckeye’s common stock.
