The options vested with the initial public offering in January 2000, and the restriction period ended August, 2001.

Option awards granted to officers and employees vest ratably over a four-year period, whereas option awards granted to directors vest immediately.
Under the plan, which will terminate on June 1, 2009, up to 4,400,000 shares of common stock is available for issuance under the long-term equity incentive plan.

Containerboard Production and Corrugated Shipments
## Table 1 ##
In 2002, we produced about 1.4 million tons of kraft linerboard at our mills located in Counce, Tennessee and Valdosta, Georgia.
We also produced about 0.8 million tons of semi-chemical corrugating medium at our mills located in Tomahawk, Wisconsin and Filer City, Michigan.
We currently lease the cutting rights to approximately 140,000 acres of timberland located near our Counce and Valdosta mills.
We also have supply agreements on about 600,000 of the 800,000 acres of timberland we sold during 1999 and 2000.
Our converting operations produce a wide variety of corrugated packaging products, including conventional shipping containers used to protect and transport manufactured goods.
We also produce multi-color boxes and displays with strong visual appeal that help to merchandise the packaged product in retail locations.
Finally, we are a large producer of meat boxes and wax-coated boxes for the agricultural industry.
Corporate Developments On April 12, 1999, Pactiv Corporation, formerly known as Tenneco Packaging Inc. , a wholly owned subsidiary of Tenneco Inc. , sold its containerboard and corrugated products business to PCA, an entity formed by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, a private equity investment firm, in January 1999, for $2.2 billion, consisting of $246.5 million in cash, the assumption of $1,760.0 million of debt incurred by Pactiv immediately prior to the contribution, and a 45% common equity interest in PCA valued at $193.5 million.
PCA Holdings LLC, an entity organized and controlled by Madison Dearborn, acquired the remaining 55% common equity interest in PCA for $236.5 million in cash, which was used to finance in part the transactions.
The financing of the transactions consisted of (1) borrowings under a new $1,469.0 million senior credit facility for which J. P.  Morgan Securities Inc.  and BT Alex.
Brown Incorporated (the predecessor to Deutsche Banc Alex.
Brown) were co-lead arrangers, (2) the offering of $550.0 million of 9 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2009, and $100.0 million of 12 3/8% senior exchangeable preferred stock due 2010, (3) a cash equity investment of $236.5 million by PCA Holdings LLC and (4) an equity investment by Pactiv valued at $193.5 million.
As required by their terms, the $550.0 million of senior subordinated notes and $100.0 million of senior exchangeable preferred stock issued in the April 12, 1999 transactions were exchanged for publicly registered securities in the same amounts in a registered exchange offer completed in October 1999.
