Global Cellulose Fibers: On January 23, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its Global Cellulose Fibers business to AIP for cash consideration of $1.1 billion and the issuance of preferred stock with an aggregate initial liquidation preference of $168 million, subject to final working capital and net debt adjustments. The Company’s preferred stock investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and, accordingly, is measured using the measurement alternative. Under this approach, the investment is carried at cost and adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, as well as for any indicators of impairment. The fair value of the preferred stock was $168 million on the transaction closing date, and the Company did not identify any observable price changes or indicators of impairment as of March 31, 2026. In connection with the completed sale, the Company recorded a net loss on the sale of the business of $3 million in Discontinued Operations, net of taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

All current and historical operating results of the Global Cellulose Fibers business are presented as Discontinued Operations, net of tax, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. All historical assets and liabilities of the Global Cellulose Fibers business are classified as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
