Q: Let’s imagine we have a new defined organizational structure by the end of October, as per previous experience, the workforce restructuring won’t end there. So, is there any target date Magnera wants to achieve?

A: The goal of aligning the new organization structure prior to closing is to make sure our team is focused on Day 1 to continue effectively executing on our goals and objectives.

Short-Term Incentive Plan

 

Q: How will my 2024 Glatfelter Global Bonus Plan be administered?

A: Your 2024 Glatfelter Global Bonus Plan payout is subject to special transaction-related treatment if closing occurs in 2024. Provided the Glatfelter Board of Directors determines that the Company’s annualized EBITDA performance as of the close date would reach the threshold of $90 million, you will receive a pro-rata target payout.

 

Q: How will my 2024 Glatfelter Site Incentive Plan be administered?

(Asheville, Asturias, Fort Smith, Mount Holly, Old Hickory)

A: Your 2024 Glatfelter Site-Based Incentive Plan payout is subject to special transaction-related treatment if closing occurs in 2024. Provided the Glatfelter Board of Directors determines that the Company’s annualized EBITDA performance as of the close date would reach the $90 million EBITDA gate, the Plan will calculate payouts based on the respective site’s performance compared to the 2024 goals.

 

Q: What will Magnera’s Short-Term Incentive Plan look like?

A: You will continue to participate in your current Short-Term Incentive plan (“STI”) and your current bonus targets will remain intact. The development of the Magnera STI design is in the final stages and will need to be approved by the Magnera Board of Directors immediately after the closing of the transaction. Additional details related to the Magnera plan will be communicated after securing Board approval.

 

Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

Q: What will happen to my Glatfelter equity upon close?

A: Equity disposition upon close is governed by the deal’s Employee Matters Agreement which includes various provisions based on award type as outlined below. All Glatfelter equity is subject to a Reverse Stock Split that is part of the overall transaction. All outstanding underlying shares will be adjusted by the Reverse Stock Split ratio to be determined prior to close; the awards’ economic value of your Glatfelter equity immediately prior to close will be preserved.

 

Q: What will happen to my Glatfelter Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) upon close?

A: After being adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, all outstanding RSUs will continue to remain outstanding under Magnera. You will receive a letter outlining the Reverse Stock Split ratio and corresponding impact to underlying shares. No new award agreements will be issued and all current terms and conditions under the Glatfelter Award Agreements will still apply.

 

Q: What will happen to my Glatfelter Performance Share Awards (“PSAs”) upon close?

A: After being adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split and applicable performance rules, all outstanding PSAs will be subject to accelerated vesting upon close. You will receive a letter outlining the Reverse Stock Split ratio and corresponding impact to underlying shares. Actual performance will be applied for determining earned shares for awards where the performance period is completed. Target performance will be applied for determining earned shares for awards with incomplete performance periods. Since all outstanding Glatfelter performance awards are currently tracking to below target performance, employees will likely receive more shares than what they would have otherwise earned absent this favorable deal treatment. All final performance award determination is subject to approval by the Glatfelter Board of Directors.

 

4

 

 

Q: What will happen to my Glatfelter Stock Option Appreciation Rights (“SOSARs”) upon close?

A: Glatfelter SOSARs will continue to remain outstanding under Magnera. Underlying shares and strike prices will be adjusted by the Reverse Stock Split ratio. All current terms and conditions under the Glatfelter Award Agreements will still apply, including the expiration of the shares.

 

Q: Will Magnera be awarding equity?

A: Subject to Glatfelter’s shareholders’ approval of the new Long Term Incentive Plan (referred to as an Omnibus Incentive Plan), Magnera intends to issue equity for eligible participants. Participant eligibility, award values, design, and terms and conditions will be determined at the time of grant and is subject to approval by the Magnera Board. The terms and conditions will likely change as we work to integrate the program for the combined organization. The development of the Magnera LTI design is in the final stages and will need to be approved by the Magnera Board of Directors immediately after the closing of the transaction. Additional details related to the plan and individuals’ awards will be communicated after securing Board approval.

 

Q: How will I know what is happening to my equity?

A: Magnera will introduce a new employee-facing equity administration system through Bank of America Merrill Lynch, allowing participants to access their real-time accounts and complete transactions on-line. Plan participants will be subject to a Magnera Insider Trading Policy to be implemented upon closing. Transferring your Glatfelter equity to Magnera requires a temporary hold on account activity known as a blackout period. The blackout period will commence on upon close and is expected to last until the week of December 2, 2024. Your transferred Magnera equity will be visible after the blackout period concludes. Future awards will be issued through the online platform. Login details will be provided post-close.

 

U.S.-Based Benefits

 

Q: What will happen to my current Glatfelter benefits upon close?

A: Your current Glatfelter benefits will automatically continue under Magnera effective immediately upon close with no plan design or rate changes for the remainder of 2024. No action is necessary for this transition. Additional benefits information will be communicated in mid-October.

 

Q: When is open enrollment for the 2025 plan year?

A: If you are interested in making changes to your 2025 Magnera benefits, you must complete Open Enrollment which is scheduled for November 5 – November 19, 2024. You will receive additional communications via mail and from local HR in mid-October with specific details about the benefits transition and open enrollment, including changes to benefit offerings for 2025.

 

Q: What changes can I expect to my 2025 benefits?

Q: What will happen to my 401(k) upon close?

A: Your Glatfelter 401(k) account will automatically transfer to Magnera with no disruption.

 

Q: Will my investment options remain the same?

A: There will be no changes to your current investment options under the plan. If you currently hold Glatfelter stock in your 401(k) plan, the stock name will change to Magnera Stock Fund (MAGN). The same current plan rules regarding company stock will apply.

 

Q: How does the Reverse Stock Split impact stock held in my 401(k)?

A: The change in value of the GLT stock when it becomes MAGN stock will be reflected automatically in your 401(k) stock fund account. The account is a Unitized Fund, which acts like a Mutual Fund. The stock is an underlying component and will reflect the split accordingly.

 

Q: Will there be any changes to the 401(k) plan provisions?

A: All pre-tax and/or Roth contribution amounts and loans will automatically transfer to Magnera with no disruption. There are no plan changes for 2024.

In 2025, the current employer contribution will be reduced from 7% to 3% with no obligation to defer any of your own money. This change is unrelated to the Berry HHS/Glatfelter transaction. It is a result of the plan benefits that were implemented in 2020 that contemplated a reduction of the employer contribution after several years of providing the enhanced 7% company contribution.

 

IT

 

Q: When will we get Magnera.com email addresses?

A: Because the Magnera legal name change will only be operational on Day 1, email transitions will take place in a phased approach after close. However, this should be seamless to the outside world.

For example: If someone sends an email to [e-mail] it will be forwarded to [e-mail]. Similarly, if someone sends an email to [e-mail] , it will be forwarded to [e-mail].

 

During the first 100 days post close everyone’s mailbox will be migrated to magnera.com. The mailbox migrations we be grouped and scheduled by site (e.g. Charlotte, Statesville, Gernsbach, Cuijk, Gatineau, etc.). Prior to the migration you will receive an email with instructions and timing. Post that migration, email forwarding will continue for 6-9 months.

Q: How will SharePoint access be managed post close?

A: On Day 1, legacy Berry employees will continue to have access to Berry SharePoint sites and legacy Glatfelter employees will have access to Glatfelter SharePoint sites.
