EXPLANATORY NOTE  Wausau Paper Corp. (the Company, we, us, or our) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this Amendment No. 1) to amend our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 3, 2014 (the Original Form 10-K), to include the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from the Original Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year-end. We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to provide the information required in Part III of Form 10-K because a definitive proxy statement containing such information will not be filed by the Company within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K.  Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Part IV, Item 15 has also been amended to contain the currently dated certifications from the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The certifications of the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer are attached to this Amendment No. 1 as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2.  Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. We are not including the certificate under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as no financial statements are being filed with this Form 10-K/A. Part IV, Item 15 has also been amended to include certain exhibits required to be filed as part of this Amendment No. 1.  This Amendment No. 1 does not amend any other information set forth in the Original Form 10-K, and we have not updated disclosures included therein to reflect any subsequent events. This Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Form 10-K.   PART III  Item 10.  DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT  Directors and Executive Officers  Information relating to our executive officers is found in Part I of our Original Form 10-K.  Our Board of Directors currently has nine members divided into three classes, consisting of three Class I directors, three Class II directors, and three Class III directors.  Any director appointed by the Board to fill a newly created directorship is required to stand for reelection by the shareholders at the first annual meeting following his or her appointment by the Board.   -1-

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance  Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) requires directors and officers and persons who own more than 10% of the common stock outstanding (reporting persons) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).  Reporting persons are also required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by them with the SEC.  We review copies of the Section 16(a) forms received by us or rely upon written representations from certain of these reporting persons to determine compliance with the Section 16(a) regulations for purposes of this proxy statement.  Based on our review of these reports and the representations of the reporting persons, we believe that all reports required to be filed by Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis, except for one report that was filed by Charles E. Hodges on August 15, 2013, which was two days later than it was required to be filed.   -4-

Item 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION  Executive Officer Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis  Overview and Executive Summary  The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for developing and administering our director and officer compensation policies.  This discussion and analysis of our executive compensation programs and policies is intended to complement and enhance an understanding of the compensation information presented in the tables that follow.  As used in this proxy statement, references to named executive officers mean the officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 17; however, given the Companys narrowed focus and sale of its technical specialty business during 2013, the Company currently has fewer executive officers, and certain of the named executive officers shown in the Summary Compensation Table have now left the Company or been reassigned to different duties.  Compensation Objectives and Philosophy.  Our executive compensation programs and policies are intended to attract, motivate, and retain executive officers who have the capability to manage the Companys day-to-day operations as well as develop and execute strategic plans to increase shareholder value.  We seek to:  · provide base salaries and benefits that are generally at the median level of peer group companies (i.e., the 50th percentile);  · reward performance that increases shareholder value through a combination of annual cash incentives, annual performance-based equity grants tied to financial performance improvement, and long-term performance-based equity grants that are directly related to long-term return to shareholders; and  · align the long-term interests of our executive officers with the long-term interests of our shareholders.  Summary of Significant 2013 Events and Impact on Executive Compensation.During 2013, the Company completed a major transformation, and it has now repositioned itself as a pure-play tissue company.  Key elements in the transformation included selling our technical specialty paper business; executing on our strategic plan by commercializing a new towel and tissue machine at our Harrodsburg, Kentucky, facility; and significantly reducing our overall salaried staffing to reflect the reduced scale and scope of the Company.  Given the anticipated level of change and recalibration that the Company would be undergoing, in establishing base compensation levels for 2013, the Compensation Committee kept base compensation flat for all named executive officers other than our Chief Financial Officer, who received a market-based (7%) increase in 2013 base compensation.  The Company successfully divested its technical specialty business in June 2013, and its tissue business was successful in commercializing new DublNature® premium products and growing sales volume at more than twice the market rate of growth.  That said, the Companys 2013 financial results were challenged somewhat by increased costs and delays associated with  -6-





the ramp-up of the new tissue machine at the Harrodsburg facility, as well as increased costs that came as a result of the divestiture of the technical specialty paper business.  These costs were the result of proactive, strategic choices made by the Company that, while affecting short-term results, are expected to benefit the Company and its shareholders over the long-term. Our Companys philosophy is to pay for performance; consequently, our named executive officers actual realized 2013 compensation was reflective of our Companys 2013 financial performance and was substantially less than the maximum potential that could have been earned had all incentive compensation targets been achieved by the Company.  By way of example, Mr. Newell, our Chief Executive Officer, earned a cash bonus of $157,950 in 2013, which was substantially less than his total opportunity of $975,000 in cash incentive payments that would have been paid had the Company achieved all of its 2013 goals and objectives.  Mr. Newells equity-based incentive awards also reflected the Companys 2013 performancefor example, his award earned under our 2013 annual equity incentive plan was $162,500 versus a total opportunity of $650,000 had all targets been achieved.  Further details on the specific elements of our executive compensation program, our peer group, and the 2013 compensation of our named executive officers, can be found below. 2014 Base and Incentive Compensation.  We have retained the major elements of our compensation plan during 2014; however, we have removed the retention component from all annual equity incentive grants that are made to our named executive officers and have instead focused entirely on performance as measured against certain benchmarks for return on capital employed.  We also changed our cash bonus incentive plan so payments are based exclusively on meeting earnings per share targets rather than the satisfaction of individual objectives.  Total compensation is generally targeted at the 50th percentile of our peer group (see further discussion of our peer group analysis below), with above-market pay opportunity linked directly to both short- and long-term performance and creation of shareholder value.  Total compensation levels may also be less than the 50th percentile if performance fails to reach identified goals.  Total Compensation and Peer Group Analysis  In determining total compensation levels, the Compensation Committee considers all forms of compensation, including cash compensation, retirement benefits, the cost of insurance and other benefits, and the number of previously awarded options, restricted stock, performance units, or restricted stock units.  Traditionally, all elements of our executive compensation program and the total compensation levels of our named executive officers have been compared to peer group compensation in order to assist the Compensation Committee in determining whether the objective of providing competitive compensation (i.e., at or about the median level of our peer group for target-level performance) has been achieved.  In selecting the peer group, the following criteria have been among those emphasized by Grant Thornton LLP (Grant Thornton) (the Companys compensation consultant) and the Compensation Committee:  · Comparability of the peer group participants industry to the Companys industry (using Global Industrial Classification Standards), and, if the potential peer group participant was not in exactly the same industry, it should come from a more broadly comparable industry that reflects potential competitors for talent.  -7-





· Organizational revenue, with the goal of having the peer group participants fall within a range of approximately one-half of the Companys annual revenue to approximately two times the Companys annual revenue.  Market capitalization and total assets were also considered in selecting the peer group companies.  · Regional characteristics, with the goal of having the peer group participants match, as closely as possible, the characteristics of the Companys geographic markets.  In light of the factors listed above, as well as the Companys disposition of its technical specialty paper business during 2013, the Compensation Committee, at its October 2013 meeting, decided to revise the make-up of its peer group, and it ultimately selected a peer group made up of 21 companies.  This selection of peer group companies was based upon the recommendation of Grant Thornton.  Grant Thornton made its recommendation based upon an analysis of the Companys industry, market capitalization, revenue, and total asset levels.  The peer group is comprised of companies that are engaged in the following industries:  commodity chemicals, construction materials, diversified metals and mining, fertilizers and agricultural chemicals, paper products, precious metals and mining, specialty chemicals, and steel.  The peer groups most recently reported revenues range from approximately $344 million to approximately $809 million, within median annual revenue at approximately $531 million (the Companys 2012 revenue was approximately $822 million).  The peer group companies are identified below:  Company NameTicker SymbolSub-IndustryHawkins Inc.HWKNCommodity ChemicalsCalgon Carbon Corp.CCCConstruction MaterialsHeadwaters, Inc.HWConstruction MaterialsU.S. Concrete, Inc.USCRConstruction MaterialsGlobe Specialty Metals, Inc.GSNDiversified Metals & MiningMolycorp, Inc.MCPDiversified Metals & MiningRTI International Metals, Inc.RTIDiversified Metals & MiningThompson Creek Metals Co., Inc.TCDiversified Metals & MiningU.S. Silica Holdings, Inc.SLCADiversified Metals & MiningAmerican Vanguard Corp.AVDFertilizers & Agricultural ChemicalsIntrepid Potash, Inc.IPIFertilizers & Agricultural ChemicalsNeenah Paper, Inc.NPPaper ProductsSchweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc.SWMPaper ProductsHecla Mining Co.HLPrecious Metals & MineralsBalchem Corp.BCPCSpecialty ChemicalsFlotek Industries, Inc.FTKSpecialty ChemicalsInnospec, Inc.IOSPSpecialty ChemicalsLandec Corp.LNDCSpecialty ChemicalsQuaker Chemical Corp.KWRSpecialty ChemicalsZep Inc.ZEPSpecialty ChemicalsHaynes International, Inc.HAYNSteel  With respect to the peer group, Grant Thornton reviewed total compensation practices for both the most recently completed fiscal year and a three year average.  Grant Thorntons analysis concluded that the total annual executive compensation opportunities were generally comparable to the peer group, and the Committee agreed with that assessment.   -8-





Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program  Base Salary and Benefits.  Our base salary and benefit program for executive officers is intended to provide basic economic security at a level that is generally at the median level for executive officers indicated in the peer group data.  Individual job performance is the single most important factor in our determination of increases in base salary.  In accordance with our Committee charter, we primarily rely upon the annual assessment by the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the job performance of the Chief Executive Officers subordinate executive officers and our review of the Chief Executive Officers performance.  In addition to base salaries, we provide employee benefits to executive officers and all other salaried employees that are consistent with benefits provided in the peer group, including retirement benefits, health insurance, dental insurance, life and disability insurance, and other welfare benefits.  Our named executive officers participate in these plans on the same basis as other employees and are also provided certain other benefits (e.g., a defined contribution supplemental retirement plan) that are described in more detail below.  Cash Bonus Incentives.  2013 Cash Incentive Compensation Plan.  We established Company and individual performance targets under a Cash Incentive Compensation Plan for Executive Officers.  The Plan is intended to reward performance that promotes the attainment by the Company of its strategic objectives of increasing shareholder value through increased earnings.  In addition to our named executive officers, all other salaried employees of the Company and its operating segments participate in the Plan at various levels based on their positions and responsibilities within the Company.  Under the plan, named executive officers were entitled to receive additional incentive-based cash compensation based upon:  (1) the level of achievement by the Company of goals for adjusted earnings per share as derived from targeted return on capital employed;  (2) for executive officers with direct segment operating responsibility (i.e., the officers who had direct oversight over our Paper and Tissue segments, which the Company maintained until disposing of the technical specialty business in the second quarter of 2013), achievement of targeted segment operating profits; and  (3) the level of achievement of specified quantifiable bottom-line-oriented targets and specific operational or strategic goals, as outlined in the second table that follows below, which summarizes the individual performance objectives and maximum incentive compensation opportunity and achievement as a percentage of base salary.   -9-

* Mr. Nelson departed from the Company on September 30, 2013, following the Companys disposition of its technical specialty business.  Consequently, Mr. Nelsons requirements under the 2013 Cash Incentive Plan were not met.  Mr. Nelson did receive certain payments in connection with his departure from the Company; these amounts are shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 17. (1) For purposes of this plan, earnings per share means earnings per share as reported in the Companys audited financial statements, adjusted for other extraordinary items (which included, for 2013, facility closure charges, planned expenses associated with certain major capital projects, and certain other nonrecurring items) as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Incentive bonuses are 0% of base salary if earnings are below the targeted range of earnings per share and increase on a pro rata basis to the officers maximum of percentage of base salary at the top of the targeted range. (2) For purposes of this plan, operating profits means the segment operating profits as reported in connection with the Companys audited financial statements adjusted for other extraordinary items (which included, for 2013, facility closure charges, planned expenses associated with certain major capital projects, and certain other nonrecurring items) as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Incentive bonuses are 0% of base salary if operating profits are below the targeted range for the officers respective operating segments targeted operating profit and increase on a pro rata basis to the officers maximum percentage of base salary at the top of the targeted range.

2014 Cash Incentive Compensation Plan.  Our 2014 Cash Incentive Compensation Plan formula provides for a range of adjusted earnings of between $.13 and $.60 per share, which represents a return on capital employed target range of 5% to 15% (an increase from the 2013 top-end range of 14%).  At an adjusted earnings level of $.13 per share, our named executive officers will receive a payment of the 2014 Cash Incentive Compensation Plan equal to 25% of the potential award.  For the 2014 Cash Incentive Compensation Plan, individual performance objectives and segment operating profit components were eliminated, reflecting the Companys narrowed focus and a desire to focus on a single financial metric that is applicable to all executive officers.  Equity Incentives.  2013 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the Annual Equity Incentive Plan).  Equity compensation is intended to align the long-term interests of our executive officers and shareholders, and the Company has in place both an annual equity incentive plan (tied primarily to a measurement of return on capital employed) as well as a longer-term equity incentive plan (tied to a total shareholder return measurement).  In 2013, as in years past, our Annual Equity Incentive Plan established various levels of responsibility within the Company, with each Company officer who participated in the Plan slotted in one of the levels based on level of responsibility.  Potential equity awards were made up of two components:  one component was a retention award of performance units, which was awarded in January 2013 and which will vest two years after the date of grant, so long as the recipient is still employed by the Company in a position of equal or greater authority.  This grant of performance units had a value equal to a percentage of the officers base salary are varied based upon level of responsibility.  The second component of the 2013 Annual Equity Incentive Plan was a performance incentive, which, like the retention component, featured a maximum award level tied to a varying percentage of base salary, with the actual amounts awarded based on the performance of the Company against targeted levels of return on capital employed during 2013.  The following table sets forth detailed information regarding the 2013 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan:

Consequently, Mr. Nelsons requirements under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan were not met.  Mr. Nelson did receive certain payments in connection with his departure from the Company; these amounts are shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 17. (1) The Retention Award was a grant of performance units equal to a specified percentage of base salary, which vests and is converted to a right to receive common stock based on continuous employment with the Company (in the  -11-





same position or in a position with greater authority, except in cases of death, retirement, or disability) through January 2, 2015. (2) The Performance Incentive was a grant of performance units equal to a specified percentage of base salary that varied based upon the officers level of responsibility.  These performance units will vest and be converted to a right to receive common stock based on (1) continuous employment with the Company (in the same position or in a position with greater authority, except in cases of death, retirement, or disability) through January 2, 2015; and (2) the Companys achievement of 2013 levels of Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) ranging from 5% ROCE to 14% ROCE.  For purposes of this plan, ROCE was determined by adjusting for extraordinary items (which, for 2013, included capital-related expenditures, facility closure costs, and certain other nonrecurring items).  ROCE was calculated after incentive compensation expenses were included.  No shares of common stock or cash are awarded if earnings are below the targeted range of ROCE.  We believe that the 2013 Annual Equity Incentive Plan was successful in properly incentivizing our officers while aligning their long-term interests with those of our shareholders.  Long-Term (2015) Equity Incentive Compensation Plan.  For a number of years, we have incorporated a longer-term equity incentive plan that is tied to the performance of the Companys total shareholder return over a three-year period.  Like our Annual Equity Incentive Plan, the Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation Plan established levels of responsibility within the Company, with participation in the Plan based upon the eligible officers level of responsibility.  Potential equity awards were performance units, granted in January 2013, that represent a percentage of 2013 base salary, which varied based on the officers level of responsibility.  The actual award level is tied to the Companys total shareholder return during a three-year period beginning on the date of grant.  For purposes of the awards, total shareholder return takes into account any increase in the Companys market value for shares (including dividends paid) during the measurement period.The calculation of total shareholder return is calculated by reference to a target and a maximum total shareholder return.  If total shareholder return is at the target (a 7% per year return), grant recipients will receive 50% of the total potential award.  If total shareholder return is at or above the maximum (a 14% per year return), grant recipients will receive 100% of the total potential award.  At total shareholder return levels that are less than the maximum, the award is prorated based on the actual level of total shareholder return that is achieved.  The maximum potential award for the Chief Executive Officer, chief financial officer, and each of the other named executive officers, as well as the levels that would be achieved at the target for total shareholder return, is described in the table below:  -12-

*  Mr. Nelson departed from the Company on September 30, 2013, following the Companys disposition of its technical specialty business.  Consequently, Mr. Nelsons requirements under the Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan were not met.  Mr. Nelson did receive certain payments in connection with his departure from the Company; these amounts are shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 17.  Under our Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, total shareholder return is determined by dividing (1) the sum of (a) the average closing share price for the Companys common stock over the last 60 trading days of the period immediately prior to the end of the three-year performance period (the Maturity Date FMV); and (b) cash dividends paid during the three-year performance period; by (2) the average closing share price for the Companys common stock over the last 60 trading days preceding the date of grant (the Grant Date FMV). The formula for calculating total shareholder return is as follows:  (Maturity Date FMV + Cash Dividends Paid) 1=  Total Shareholder ReturnGrant Date FMV  Total shareholder return is calculated to closest tenth of a percent, and vested performance units are rounded to the next highest whole unit.  The first awards made under the Companys long-term equity incentive compensation plan vested in early January 2014.  Each of our named executive officers who are still employed with the Company received 100% of the possible vested awards, reflecting the significantly positive total shareholder return over the vesting period.  These amounts are not shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 17, given that vesting occurred in early 2014.  Other Equity Awards.  From time to time, we may grant other awards of options, restricted stock, performance units, or restricted stock units that are tied to a named executive officers initial appointment or made for other reasons, and these awards may or may not be subject to vesting conditions based upon the financial performance of the Company.  We have not established formal criteria with respect to the size or frequency of grants that are not part of an incentive plan, but, in making these grants, we may consider a variety of factors, including our subjective determination of the performance and contributions of the officer, the Companys financial performance relative to the industry, and our goal of aligning the long-term interests of officers and shareholders.  No grants of options or restricted stock were made during 2013.  -13-





Timing of Equity Awards.  We approve equity-based incentive awards promptly following the close of the fiscal year.  The timing of other equity awards is tied to the occurrence of specific hiring or promotion events.  In each case, awards are made on the date of appointment or at the next subsequent scheduled Compensation Committee meeting.  We do not engage in any plan or practice to coordinate the timing of equity awards with the release of material non-public information.  2014 Equity Incentive Plans.  In order to further strengthen the relationship between pay and performance, we removed the retention component from the Annual Equity Incentive Plan that will be in effect during 2014.  We intend for future grants made under our annual equity incentive plans to be based exclusively on measurement of return on capital employed.  Our 2014 Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation Plan grants continue to be based on a measurement of total shareholder return over a three-year vesting period.  Stock Ownership Guidelines and Retention. We have adopted stock ownership guidelines for all officers.  Named executive officers are required to own stock having a value equal to the following specified multiples of base salary within five years of the date of hire or promotion:  TitleMultiple of Base SalaryChief Executive Officer3.0Senior Vice President1.5  The value of stock held is determined by shares directly or indirectly held, vested common stock equivalents (restricted stock, etc.), vested stock options, and shares held in qualified retirement plan accounts.  As of December 31, 2013, all of our named executive officers had attained the minimum level or were on pace to attain such level within the specified period.  Supplemental Retirement Plans.  The Company currently maintains three supplemental retirement plans (the SERPs) for select officers; however, only one of these SERPs is currently providing any benefit accruals.  SERP participation is currently focused on a defined contribution SERP that was adopted in 2009 (the Defined Contribution SERP) as a means to provide retirement benefits on compensation in excess of the Internal Revenue Codes limitation on compensation that may be taken into account under tax-qualified retirement plans.  Benefits under our Defined Contribution SERP create a long-term continuity of interest with the Company as a result of the vesting schedule, and the unfunded nature of the Defined Contribution SERP offers significant personal incentive with respect to maintaining the soundness of the Companys financial condition.  Participation under the Defined Contribution SERP is subject, in all cases, to the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Under the Defined Contribution SERP, participants receive an annual Company contribution equal to 8.5% of base compensation in excess of the IRS limit for qualified plans (currently $255,000), plus 13% of cash incentive compensation.  A participants account is credited with interest at a rate equal to the prime rate of interest in effect on the first day of each calendar quarter.  Participants vest in the Defined Contribution SERP after five years as a participant or if employment is terminated due to death or disability.  Accounts under the Defined Contribution SERP are distributable beginning on the date following termination of employment, with the actual date selected by the participant, so long as it is not  -14-





later than age 65.  Distribution can be made in a lump sum or in various installments over a period selected by the participant, but not in excess of 120 monthly installments.  The Plan contains forfeiture provisions in the event a participant violates confidentiality or restrictive covenant provisions or incurs a termination of employment for cause.  Deferred Compensation Plans.  Other than the Defined Contribution SERP, we do not maintain any deferred compensation plans specifically for our named executive officers.  Perquisites.  Each named executive officer may receive an allowance for professional fees.  Relocation expenses are reimbursed in accordance with a Company program for salaried employees.  While named executive officers may use the Company plane for personal travel when it is not in use on Company business, actual use has been very limited.  We do not consider perquisites to be a material element of the compensation program for executive officers.  Termination and Change in Control Arrangements; Consequences of a Change in Control.  The Company has entered into change in control agreements with each of our named executive officers.  See Termination and Change in Control Arrangements on page 21.  In addition, upon a change in control of the Company, all equity awards granted under our equity incentive plans will become fully vested, and we will have the discretion to cancel outstanding options and make a lump sum cash payment to the option holders.  Further, upon a change in control of the Company, any unvested benefits under the Defined Contribution SERP will also become fully vested.  Results of 2013 Say-on-Pay Vote  The Company provides its shareholders with the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote on executive compensation (a say-on-pay proposal).  At the Companys annual meeting of shareholders held in April 2013, a substantial majority of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal at that meeting were voted in favor of the proposal.  The Compensation Committee believes that the results of this vote affirmed shareholders support of the Companys approach to executive compensation, and, accordingly, we did not substantially change our approach in 2013. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the outcome of the Companys say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for the named executive officers.   -15-





Role of Compensation Committee and Executive Officers  Responsibility for Compensation Matters.  The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for all matters relating to compensation of our directors and named executive officers and, in particular, is responsible for approving the compensation of our chief executive officer.  The Compensation Committee also considers the chief executive officers recommendations relating to the compensation of our other named executive officers.  To assist the Committee in performing these functions, the chief executive officer and the vice president of human resources provide information and recommendations about compensation, programs, and policies when requested by the Committee or its chair, and the Committee is also provided with access to and the recommendations of Grant Thornton.  The other named executive officers have no related involvement with the Committee.  Upon request by the Committee or its chair, the chief executive officer and other management personnel may attend Committee meetings, but they are excused at such times as the Committee deems appropriate.  Tax Considerations.  We are aware that, except for certain plans approved by shareholders, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits deductions to $1 million for compensation paid to the chief executive officer and each of the other officers named in the summary compensation table who are officers on the last day of the year.  We review the Section 162(m) limitation as part of our overall compensation policy.  Compensation Committee Report  We have reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained under that heading in this proxy statement.  On the basis of our review and discussions, we have recommended that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and this proxy statement.

(1) The amounts indicated with respect to 2013 represent the grant date fair value for awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, and stock options.  The grant date fair values were computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 718-10.  Amounts may also include awards for more than one year.  All amounts represent potential future income calculated for financial reporting purposes; actual amounts recognized by the named executive officers may be materially different depending on, among other things, the Companys stock price performance and the period of service of the executive.  Additional information concerning the recognition of compensation expense and the assumptions used in the calculation of compensation expense attributable to these awards is set forth in Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. (2) Cash incentive compensation earned by officers based on the 2013 Company financial performance and satisfaction of individual performance objectives under the 2013 Cash Incentive Compensation Plan.

(1)  Amounts represent 2013 incentive compensation that could have been earned if 2013 financial and/or individual performance requirements under the 2013 Cash Incentive Compensation Plan for executive officers had been attained.  Amounts indicated as Target represent amounts that would have been paid or awarded if the 2013 operating plan targets had been met.  The incentive plans did not set a specific target level, but instead established potential payments based on satisfaction of individual performance objectives, the return on capital employed achieved within a range of 5% to 14%, and, in the case of certain officers, the segment operating profits achieved within a specified range.  Amounts indicated as Threshold reflect the past three years historic average payouts as a percentage of base salary for achievement of individual performance objectives with no payment based on Company or segment performance.  Amounts indicated as Maximum represent amounts that would have been payable upon achievement of all individual objectives and achievement of return on capital employed and segment operating profits at or above, in each case, the top of the range.  See Compensation Discussion and Analysis  Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program  Cash Bonus Incentives  2013 Cash Incentive Compensation Plan. (2)  Actual awards under 2013 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan.  Dividend equivalents in the form of additional performance units are earned on each award and are paid at distribution of award.  See Compensation Discussion and Analysis  Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program  Cash Bonus Incentives  2013 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan. (3)  Amounts indicated represent the grant date fair value of performance units for the awards of Retention Awards and Performance Incentive Awards on January 2, 2013 ($9.01).  The amount indicated also includes grant date fair value of performance units for awards granted under the Long-Term (2015) Equity Incentive Plan on January 2, 2013 ($4.37).  The grant date fair values were computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 718-10.  Additional information concerning the assumptions used in determining the grant date fair value of these awards is set forth in Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  See Compensation Discussion and Analysis  Elements of our Executive Compensation Program  Equity Incentives  2013 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan.  2000 Stock Incentive Plan and 2010 Stock Incentive Plan.  All awards of performance units and stock options are made under the terms of either the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (for grants made prior to May 31, 2010) or the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (for grants made beginning on or after June 1, 2010).  Awards made under these plans include all awards pursuant to the Companys annual performance-based equity plans and all other individual grants.  Equity awards under the plans are granted subject to such performance-based or service conditions as the Compensation Committee determines to be appropriate under the circumstances.  Performance units may be settled in cash in the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Under current policy, performance-based performance units may, at the election of the grantee, be settled in cash to the extent of the grantees tax withholding liability.  Options may be awarded for a maximum term of 10 years at an exercise price not less than the closing price of  -18-





our stock on the date of grant.  Options must be exercised within 90 days of the termination of employment for reasons other than retirement, death, or disability, in which cases, extended exercise periods of up to one year (in case of death) or two years (in case of retirement) apply.

(1)  See Note 7 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, for a discussion of the valuation method and material assumptions applied in quantifying the present value of the current accumulated benefit.  Each of our named executive officers also participate in (or will participate in upon becoming eligible) the Companys 2009 Defined Contribution SERP.  See Executive Compensation  Compensation Discussion and Analysis  Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program.  Retirement Plan.  Our tax-qualified retirement plan historically covered all salaried employees and based a participants pension on the value of a hypothetical account balance in the plan.  The retirement plan was amended effective December 31, 2010, to end annual credits based on compensation and close the plan to new participants.  Interest credits on all prior accruals continue to be made.  Benefits may be paid in lump sum or other actuarial equivalent form by converting the hypothetical account balance credits into a single life annuity form payable at normal retirement age (65).  Participants become eligible for early retirement upon completion of at least 10 years of service and attainment of age 55.  Benefits paid prior to normal retirement age are reduced to the actuarial equivalent of the normal retirement benefit.  None of our named executive officers is currently eligible for early retirement under the plan.   -20-





Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for 2013  The Company does not maintain any elective deferred compensation plans for its executive officers.  Termination and Change in Control Arrangements  Change in Control Agreements.  The Company has entered into change in control agreements with each of our named executive officers (other than with Mr. Nelson, who is no longer employed by the Company).  These agreements provide salary and benefit continuation if two circumstances are met:  (1) there is a change in control of the Company, and (2) the named executive officers employment is terminated without cause, or the named executive officer terminates his or her employment for good reason, within two years following the change in control.  Because both elements must be met for a payment obligation to be effective, these types of change in control agreements are sometimes referred to as double trigger agreements, and they are designed to preserve the Companys human resources in the event of a potentially disruptive change in control.  For purposes of the agreements, good reason (which allows the named executive officer to terminate his or her employment and trigger a payment following a change in control) includes a material diminution of position, a material decrease in base compensation, a material breach of any employment agreement, or a material change in location of employment.  The change in control agreements entitle the named executive officers to payments in the following amounts:  · For Mr. Newell, a lump-sum payment equal to two times his annual base salary prior to his separation from service (measured by annualizing his highest monthly salary over the previous twelve months) plus two times his average annual cash incentive bonus paid to him during the three years immediately prior to his separation from service or change in control (whichever is greater).  · For the named executive officers other than Mr. Newell, a lump-sum payment equal to the executives annual base salary prior to the executives separation from service measured by annualizing the officers highest monthly salary over the previous twelve months plus the executives average annual cash incentive bonus paid during the three years immediately prior to separation from service or change in control (whichever is greater).  · The agreements also entitle the executive officer to continuation of health and welfare benefits for up to 18 months (in the case of Mr. Newell) and 12 months (in the case of the other executive officers).  · Payments under these agreements may be reduced in the event such payments are subject to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.  -21-





For purposes of the 2012 change in control agreements, a change in control of the Company means:  · the acquisition of 20% or more of the Companys common stock by a person or group (excluding stock acquired from the Company or acquired by an employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company);  · a change in the composition of the Board so that the incumbent directors on the date the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan became effective (or the successive directors approved by the Board whose assumption of office did not occur as a result of any actual or threatened election contest as defined under rules adopted by the SEC) no longer constitute at least a majority of the directors;  · shareholder approval of any reorganization, consolidation, or merger unless (1) the Companys shareholders will beneficially own more than 60% of the shares of the new combined entity in substantially the same proportion as shares of the Company were beneficially owned immediately prior to the merger, (2) no person will own more than 20% of the stock of the combined entity except to the extent such ownership existed prior to the transaction, or (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the new entity were members of the Board at the time the agreement was signed or approved by the Board;  · sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; and  · shareholder approval of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.  Equity and Retirement Plan Change in Control Provisions.  In addition to the change in control agreements, certain of the Companys equity and retirement plans provide for the full vesting and (in certain instances) immediate distribution or acceleration of benefits otherwise due under the plans.  Under the terms of the Companys Defined Contribution SERP, for example, upon a change in control of the Company, the executive officers will be fully vested in their accrued benefit.  See Executive CompensationCompensation Discussion and AnalysisElements of Our Compensation Program.  In addition, if the circumstances surrounding the change in control meet the definition of change in control under the Internal Revenue Code rules for nonqualified deferred compensation plans, the executive officer will receive the executives accrued benefit in a single lump sum rather than in the form of payment previously elected by the executive if the executives employment terminates within two years of the change in control.  Under the directors deferred compensation plan, upon a termination of service within one year of a change in control, which also meets the definition of change in control under the Internal Revenue Code rules for nonqualified deferred compensation plans, the entire balance of the directors account will be distributed in a lump sum.  All equity awards vest upon retirement or a change in control of the Company and the value of all performance units, stock appreciation rights, and dividend equivalents will be distributed upon subsequent termination of employment.  The Compensation Committee has the discretion to cancel stock option awards outstanding under the plan in the event of a change in control and to pay the holders of such cancelled options a lump sum cash payment equal to the excess of (1) the greater of (a) highest price in any tender or exchange offer for the Companys stock resulting in the change in control, or (b) the highest fair market value of the Companys  -22-





stock on any day in the 60-day period ending on the effective date of the change in control over (2) the exercise price of the options.  Stock appreciation rights and dividend equivalents may also be exercisable at the election of the holder according to the same formula described in the preceding sentence.  For purposes of these equity and retirement plans, a change in control of the Company has the same meaning as in the change in control agreements:  a change in control includes a change in a majority of the Board, consummation of certain mergers, and the sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets or liquidation or dissolution of the Company.  The definition also includes events in which a party acquires 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Companys then-outstanding securities.  Quantification of Payments Upon Termination.The following table provides the payouts upon a termination of employment (voluntarily, due to death or disability, or involuntary termination by the Company without cause) to each of our named executive officers.  The values set forth below are based on an assumed termination date of December 31, 2013.  For additional discussion of the benefits and payments due upon termination after change in control, see Quantification of Potential Payments in Connection with a Change in Control, below.

(1) Based on closing price of Company stock on December 31, 2013 ($12.68). (2) If the named executive officer terminates employment prior to attaining retirement age under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan or 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (as applicable, depending on the date of the award), performance units are not vested if the termination occurs prior to the satisfaction of all vesting requirements under the terms of the relevant grant.  The retirement age under the 2000 and 2010 Stock Incentive Plans is the age at which the executive has attained age 55 and 10 years of service. (3) If the named executive officer terminates employment due to death or disability, performance units become fully vested under the terms of the applicable grant agreements and the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan or the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (as applicable, depending on the date of the award). (4) The Company does not currently maintain any employment or severance agreements other than the change in control agreements, which are only triggered upon a change of control of the Company.  Mr. Nelson, who departed from employment with the Company during 2013 following the disposition of our technical specialty paper business, had a stay bonus employment agreement in effect that called for certain payments to be made to Mr. Nelson upon the successful disposition of our technical specialty paper business; these payments were made to Mr. Nelson in connection with his departure from the Company. (5) The Company maintains a retiree health plan, however, none of the named executive officers meets the requirements for coverage under such plan.  -23-





(6) If the named executive officer terminates employment due to death or disability, the officer becomes fully vested in the executives accrued benefit under the Defined Contribution SERP.  Otherwise, the Defined Contribution SERP requires five years of service (as Chief Executive Officer or in a position reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer) for vesting.  With the exception of Messrs. Newell and Medvecz, none of the named executive officers have satisfied the five years of service requirement.  Accrued benefits as of December 31, 2013, under the Defined Contribution SERP (which would be fully vested upon the executives termination of employment due to death or disability) were as follows:  Defined Contribution SERP BenefitMr. Newell$220,235Ms. Lemmer$  12,623Mr. Medvecz$  83,378Mr. NelsonMr. Urmanski$  11,328  Quantification of Potential Payments in Connection with a Change in Control.  Additional payments and benefits upon a change in control of the Company may be paid pursuant to the 2000 and 2010 Stock Incentive Plans, the change in control agreements that are in place with each of the named executive officers, and the Defined Contribution SERP.

Amounts shown in the cash severance, bonus, and health benefits columns are subject to reduction in the event such payments are subject to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. (2)   For purposes of these agreements, a change in control generally means a change in a majority of the Board, consummation of certain mergers, and the sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets or liquidation or dissolution of the Company.  The definition also includes events in which a party acquires 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Companys then-outstanding securities. (3)   Termination following a change in control for purposes of the change in control agreements is limited to termination of the named executive officer without cause or by the officer due to a good reason within 24 months of a change in control.  As defined in the existing change in control agreements, cause means:  (a) the willful and continued failure of the named executive officer to perform substantially the officers duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or following the named executive officers delivery of a notice of termination for good reason); or (b) the willful engaging by the named executive officer in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.  Good reason means a material diminution of position, a material decrease in base compensation, a material breach of any employment agreement, or a material change in location of employment of the named executive officer. (4)   For purposes of the 2000 and 2010 Stock Incentive Plans and the Defined Contribution SERP, termination following a change in control is limited to a termination of employment voluntarily or involuntarily without cause.  -24-





(5) Represents an amount equal to one time (two times for Mr. Newell) the named executive officers annual base salary (measured by annualizing the officers highest monthly salary over the previous 12 months) prior to his or her separation from service. (6)   Under the terms of the existing change of control agreements, the named executive officer is entitled to an amount equal to one time (two times for Mr. Newell) the officers average annual bonus under the Companys cash incentive plan for the three years preceding the year in which the officers termination of employment occurs, or, if higher, for the three years preceding the year in which the change in control occurs.  Amounts shown represent the amount that would have been paid based on the three-year period ending December 31, 2013.  In addition to the amount shown, under the terms of the existing change of control agreements, the named executive officer is, upon termination, entitled to a pro rata portion of the officers average annual bonus paid to the officer under the Companys Cash Incentive Compensation Plan during the three years immediately prior to the year in which the officers termination occurs, or, if higher, during the three years immediately preceding the year in which the change in control occurs.  The pro rata portion is determined by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year of termination of employment through the date of termination of employment and the denominator of which is 365. (7)   Under the existing change of control agreements, the named executive officer is entitled to continuation of Company health and welfare benefits for up to 18 months (in the case of Mr. Newell) and 12 months (in the case of the other named executive officers), with the Company continuing to pay its share of the premiums as though the officer were an active employee.  Represents the total Company contribution toward these benefits using 2013 premium rates. (8)   Represents value named executive officers would be entitled to receive from vested performance unit awards at December 31, 2013, under the change in control provisions applicable to those awards ($12.68). (9)   Amount shown represents additional amount named executive officers would be entitled to receive under the change in control provisions applicable to such awards.  Change in control benefit represents additional value attributable to deemed exercise at highest Company stock price in the 60-day period preceding December 31, 2013 ($12.98) compared to price at which executive could have exercised vested award at December 31, 2013, in absence of a change in control ($12.68). (10) The Company is not obligated to provide tax gross up payments to any named executive officer, even if a payment may be subject to excise taxes under Code Sections 280G and 4999.

* Mr. Kuester retired from the Board in April 2013; Messrs. Kvocka and Murphy were first elected to the Board in April 2013. (1)  Directors who are employees do not receive directors fees; accordingly, Mr. Newell is not listed in this table. (2)  Stock awards are performance units, which must be held until the directors termination of service from the Board.  Stock award amounts therefore represent potential future income, the amount of which may be materially different when paid.  Dividend equivalents in the form of additional performance units are also earned on each award and are paid at distribution of award.  Amounts indicated represent the grant date fair value for the 2013 award, which was determined by the closing price of the underlying stock on the grant date ($9.01 per share), except for the grants made to Messrs. Kvocka and Murphy, which were at $10.00 per share.  The grant date fair values were computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 718-10.  Additional information concerning the recognition of  -25-





compensation expense and the assumptions used in the calculation of compensation expense attributable to these awards is set forth in Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. (3)  The aggregate number of stock and option awards held at December 31, 2013, by directors other than Mr. Newell (see footnote (1) above) are:  Aggregate Stock Awards*Aggregate Option AwardsMichael C.

Awards do not include dividend equivalent shares that are payable only in cash upon exercise of certain option awards. (4) Represents change in actuarial present value under director retirement plan for directors who began service prior to January 1, 2003. (5)Represents aggregate incremental cost for personal use of the Company aircraft. (6) Mr. Kuester retired as a director on April 18, 2013;  represents amounts received pursuant to the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan and Directors Retirement Policy.  Director Compensation Policy.  Director compensation is established by the Compensation Committee and is intended to be competitive with compensation paid to directors of similarly sized publicly traded companies.  Our Chairman of the Board received a monthly retainer of $10,000; however, beginning in January 2014, this monthly retainer amount was reduced to $6,250, in part due to the Companys disposition of its technical specialty paper business during 2013 and the Companys lower levels of assets and revenue that resulted from that disposition and narrowing of focus.  Overall director compensation is reviewed annually by the Committee.  In December 2013, after its annual review of director compensation, the Committee elected to maintain director compensation at previously established levels, except with respect to the Chairmans retainer as described above.  Director compensation levels are summarized below:  Board RetainerAnnual cash retainer$40,000Performance Units$50,000(1)Meeting FeesBoard Meeting Fees$  1,500$  1,000 (telephonic meeting)Committee Meeting Fees$  1,000$     500 (telephonic meeting)Annual Committee Chair RetainerAudit$10,000Executive, Compensation, and Corporate Governance$  5,000  (1)On the first business day of each fiscal year or upon the date of initial election to the Board, a director receives performance units in an amount determined by dividing $50,000 by the closing price of Companys stock on  -26-





such day.  Dividend equivalents in the form of additional performance units accrue on each cash dividend date.  Units are settled in the form of Company stock upon directors termination of service from the Board unless director elects to defer distribution for a maximum of two years.  Traditionally, only non-employee directors have been eligible for compensation under our director compensation policy; however, beginning in April 2014, when Mr. Burandt became our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Burandt began receiving compensation in his capacity as Chairman of the Board notwithstanding the fact that he had also begun serving as our Chief Executive Officer.  No director received any compensation or benefits for services as a director other than the standard arrangements described above.  Director Stock Ownership Guidelines.Each director is required to own stock or stock equivalents having a value equal to three times the directors annual retainer and Board meeting fees (assuming six Board meetings are held in any particular year) on or before the completion of six calendar years of service.  Stock consists of shares directly or indirectly held, vested common stock equivalents (restricted stock, etc.), vested stock options, and shares held in qualified retirement plan accounts.  As of December 31, 2013, all of our directors have attained the minimum level except Messrs. Murphy and Kvocka, who joined the Board in April 2013.  Directors Deferred Compensation Plan.  The Company maintains a deferred compensation program under which directors may elect each year to defer some or all of the fees otherwise payable in cash during the year.  Amounts deferred become payable in cash in a lump sum or in quarterly installments after a directors termination of service.  In the event a directors service terminates in connection with a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plan, payment of all deferred amounts will be made in a lump sum.  During the period in which payment is deferred, a director may elect that the deferred fees be credited with interest at the prime rate in effect as of each calendar quarter, or that the deferred fees be converted into common stock equivalent units.  If common stock equivalent units are elected, the directors account is also credited with stock equivalent units representing the shares of our common stock that could have been purchased with the cash dividends that would have been paid had the units been actual common stock.  Stock equivalent units are converted to cash based upon the fair market value of our common stock at the time of distribution.  During 2013, Mr. Hodges and Mr. Kuester participated in the Plan and deferred all or a portion of the retainer or meeting fees otherwise payable under our Director Compensation Policy.  Directors Retirement Policy.  Directors who began service prior to January 1, 2003, and have at least five years of service at termination are eligible to receive a benefit equal to the annual cash retainer and board meeting fees in effect at termination of service.  Benefits will be paid for a period of time equal to the retired directors period of service on the Board.  Retirement benefits terminate at death and are accelerated in the event of a change in control of the Company for the retired directors and current directors, as defined in the policy.  Directors who began service after December 31, 2002, are not eligible for retirement benefits under this policy.  Mr. Kuester retired from the Board effective April 18, 2013, and is currently receiving retirement benefits under this policy.  Compensation Consultants Analysis of Director Compensation.  As part of its services on behalf of the Company in 2013, Grant Thornton LLP provided the Compensation Committee with an analysis of the Companys non-employee director compensation at a meeting held in October 2013.  The analysis concluded that 2013 non-employee director compensation  -27-





(excluding the Chairmans retainer amount) was at approximately the 25th percentile (when compared against peer group companies) with respect to annual retainer amounts and committee chair fees paid.  Further discussion regarding the peer group paper companies included in the Grant Thornton analysis is included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the heading Executive CompensationCompensation Discussion and AnalysisTotal Compensation and Peer Group Analysis.  Item 12.

(1) Shares indicated relate to common stock issuable upon exercise of options awarded under the 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan and upon exercise of options or the vesting of performance units awarded under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. (2) The exercise price calculation is based only on outstanding options to purchase 1,443,580 shares.  Shares issuable pursuant to performance units have no exercise price.  Item 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS  Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a majority of the Board and all members of our Audit, Compensation, and Corporate Governance Committees must be independent directors, as determined in accordance with NYSE listing standards.  The Board reviews the independence of its members on an annual basis.  During this review, the Board considers whether any transactions have occurred or if relationships exist between any director and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.  Included in this consideration are any transactions that occurred or relationships that exist between any member of the directors immediate family or any entity in which the director or an immediate family member is an executive officer, general partner, or significant equity holder.  In connection with its review, the Board considered that, in the ordinary course of business, the Company may, at certain times, be engaged in business transactions with companies for which some of our directors serve as directors or officers.  The Board has adopted categorical standards to assist it in determining whether any of such transactions create a material relationship that precludes independence under NYSE listing standards.  In general terms, and absent other factors, the Boards categorical standards provide that a customer relationship is not material if the Company does not account for more than 2% of the revenue of the directors business and not more than 2% of the Companys revenue is derived from the directors business.  Similarly, in the case of a lending relationship, absent other factors, the relationship is not material if the Company obtained the credit on the same terms as other borrowers, the credit  -30-





would have been available from other lenders on comparable terms, and the interest and fees paid by the Company do not exceed 2% of the lenders total income.  The Boards categorical standards are attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A and are also posted on our website.  See Investors  Corporate Governance at wausaupaper.com.  At its meeting held in April 2013, the Board determined that Mr. Burandt, Ms. Dewey, Mr. Freels, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Kvocka, and Mr. Murphy were each independent under the listing standards of the NYSE and that each of these individuals had no relationship with the Company other than as directors and shareholders.  The Board also determined at the same meeting that Mr. Newell is not independent under the NYSE listing standards because he was serving as the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer, and that Mr. Howatt is not independent under the NYSE listing standards because he served as the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer until his retirement on December 31, 2011.  Item 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES  Independent Auditor and Fees  Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte) acted as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm and audited the books, records, and accounts of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  Representatives of Deloitte will be present at the annual meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement or respond to appropriate questions.  The following table presents aggregate professional fees paid or accrued to our independent auditor during the 2013 and 2012 fiscal years and fees attributable to the audit of our financial statements for those years.  All services performed received pre-approval by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policy.  20132012Audit Fees(1)$613,800$670,600Audit-Related Fees(2)813,2680Tax Fees(3)142,035198,380All Other Fees00$1,569,103$868,980  (1)  Audit fees consisted of audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, such as statutory audits, review of SEC filings, and the attestation of managements report on the internal control of financial reporting. (2)  Audit-related fees consisted of audit work performed in connection with the 2013 sale of the Companys former technical specialty paper business. (3)  Tax fees related to tax compliance (tax returns, refunds, and payment planning) were $67,775 in 2013 and $75,475 in 2012.  Tax consultation and planning fees were $74,260 in 2013 and $122,905 in 2012; these fees provided, or are expected to provide, benefits to the Company in excess of the fees paid.   -31-





Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies  The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the Companys independent auditor.  Under its pre-approval policy, a schedule of specific audit, audit-related, and tax services and their related fees received pre-approval in 2013 after review by the Committee of appropriate detailed back-up documentation and receipt of confirmation from management and the independent auditor that each non-audit service included in the schedule may be performed by the independent auditor under applicable SEC and professional standards.  Any services not included in the pre-approved schedule of services and fees were specifically pre-approved by the Committee.  To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, the Committee has delegated to the Chairman the authority to grant pre-approvals for services other than internal control related services, provided that any such pre-approvals must be presented to the full Committee at its next meeting.  In granting approval for a service, the Audit Committee (or the appropriate designated Committee member) considers the type and scope of service, the fees, whether the service is permitted to be performed by an independent auditor, and whether such service is compatible with maintaining the auditors independence.
