Litigation
 
The Company is party to various legal proceedings involving routine claims which are incidental to its business.  Although the Company’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, the Company believes that any ultimate liability would not be material to its Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations, or Cash Flows.
 
Environmental Claims
 
Over the next 29 years, we are primarily responsible for the reimbursement of government oversight costs associated with certain environmental claims regarding the Fox River located in Wisconsin. At June 27, 2026, the outstanding balance of the environmental liability and corresponding escrow asset were $17 million and $9 million, respectively.
 
Tax Claims
 
As part of a previous acquisition, the Company acquired a liability related to certain tax claims. Depending on the resolution of the tax claims, the settlement has a range of outcomes that is not expected to exceed $66 million as of June 27, 2026, with an eventual payment to the Brazilian government and/or the selling stockholders of the previous acquisition. The Company has recorded an estimated liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other long-term liabilities.
