The Royal Paper Package: Mill, Box Plants, and Timberland Paper's paper operations The assets Halloran sought to buy from Winters comprised an integrated system in Royal (1) The Monticello, Mississippi mill Completed in 1968, the $121 million "state-of-the-art" mill produced both linerboard and kraft paper. (Kraft paper is used to manufacture grocery bags.) In December 1983, Winters announced a "master plan to modernize the Monticello Mill," which called for Royal to spend $70-880 million over 20-22 months to convert all of the mill's kraft capacity to linerboard capacity. This move would increase the mill's linerboard capacity from 661,000 tons annually to 747,000 tons per year (or 2,134 daily tons) that would be purchased from Royal Paper as part of the transaction. Part of the output would be transformed into corrugated boxes in the 16 box plants. The rest of the mill's output would be used by Atlantic Corporation's own box plants. As of April 1984, the conversion process had not yet started. (2) Corrugated box plants Box plants were generally located near end users due to the relatively high cost of shipping. Royal Paper's 16 corrugated box plants were almost ideally suited for a combination with Atlantic's plants. Atlantic's box plants were located in the West, South, and Midwest; while the Royal Paper plants were in the South, Midwest, and East. Together, the box plants would cover most major U.S. markets. Exhibit 3 shows estimates prepared by Atlantic's staff for both the Monticello mill and the 16 corrugated box plants. The forecasts are based on capital expenditures totaling $140.8 million to convert all of the mill's kraft capacity to linerboard capacity, to improve efficiency in the box plants, and to maintain the facilities (see Table A). It was anticipated that the mill and the box plants would have a 15-year economic life (through 1998), at which time management would decide whether or not to maintain the operation by investing in new capacity to replace the mill and box plants. No salvage value was expected to be obtained at the end of their lives.

Exhibit 3 assumes total purchase price of $319 million, of which $270 million is assigned to the mill and box plants and 319 million is assigned to the net working capital.

Sales and profits fell, and in 1982, Royal Paper stock price plummeted to a price lower than at any other time in the past 15 years. This downturn was precipitated by weakening of most of Royal Paper's major forest product/paper markets, offset in part by the stable performance of its printing papers division. In response, Royal Paper management cut its workforce by 10% and divested itself of over a dozen money-losing mills. By the end of 1983, Royal Paper stock had climbed back to prices in the mid-30 dollar range, and in a presentation to securities analysts, Winters stressed the company's strong product lines, its capital investment plans including conversion of the Monticello Mill to 100% linerboard production, and its generally upbeat prospects as it looked forward to "participating in the present economic recovery." Steven Winters' sudden interest on April 18th in discussing the sale of the Monticello Mill package to Atlantic Corporation seemed linked to his besieged firm's recent dealings with significant Shareholders. Early 1984 had proved to be a difficult period for Royal Paper. While the company was recovering from an industry wide slump, Winters found himself in an uncomfortable position as Prominent investors accumulated large blocks of Royal Paper stock and threatened to take over the firm Exhibit 3 Financial Projections Prepared by Atlantic Corporation Staff for the Monticello Mill and Box Plants (assumes a purchase price of $319 million for the mill and box plants) 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 747 661 95% 628 $320 $201.0 160.3 $40.7 699 93% 650 $360 $234.0 176.1 $57.9 747 93% 695 $400 $277.9 1942 $83.7 747 95% 710 $410 $291.1 211.3 $79.8 710 $430 $3053 747 95% 710 $452 $320.9 232.7 $ 88.2 747 95% 710 $475 $337.3 2442 $93.1 747 96% 710 $1198 $3536 256.4 $972 747 95% 710 $523 $3713 2692 $102.1 747 95% 710 $549 $389.B 2828 $107.0 $83.8 Monticello Mill Annual capacity (000 tons) Utilization rate Production rate (000 tons) Price per ton Mill sales ($ millions) Cash costs ($ millions) Operating profit before depreciation and taxes Box Plants ($ millions) Operating profit before depreciation and taxes Combined Mill and Plants ($ millions) Operating profit before depreciation and taxes Depreciation expense EBIT Tax @ 36% EBIAT $14.8 $17.1 $18.0 $16.3 $21.8 $11.6 $18.9 $19.8 $22.9 $20.8 $06.0 $101.8 $118.0 $123.9 203 $52.3 20.9 31.4 11.3 27 $72.7 28.3 444 16.0 $28.4 $100.0 350 65.0 57.6 20.7 $36.9 $107.1 393 67.8 24.4 $434 60.5 21.8 $38.7 $112.9 13 78.6 28.3 $50.3 $1299 253 104.5 376 $57.0 00.9 32.7 $58.2 35.1 $62,5 $20.1 $41.6 Assumes conversion of kraft capacity to linerboard.

Sales and profits fell, and in 1982, Royal Paper stock price plummeted to a price lower than at any other time in the past 15 years. This downturn was precipitated by weakening of most of Royal Paper's major forest product/paper markets, offset in part by the stable performance of its printing papers division. In response, Royal Paper management cut its workforce by 10% and divested itself of over a dozen money-losing mills. By the end of 1983, Royal Paper stock had climbed back to prices in the mid-30 dollar range, and in a presentation to securities analysts, Winters stressed the company's strong product lines, its capital investment plans including conversion of the Monticello Mill to 100% linerboard production, and its generally upbeat prospects as it looked forward to "participating in the present economic recovery." Steven Winters' sudden interest on April 18th in discussing the sale of the Monticello Mill package to Atlantic Corporation seemed linked to his besieged firm's recent dealings with significant Shareholders. Early 1984 had proved to be a difficult period for Royal Paper. While the company was recovering from an industry wide slump, Winters found himself in an uncomfortable position as Prominent investors accumulated large blocks of Royal Paper stock and threatened to take over the firm Exhibit 3 Financial Projections Prepared by Atlantic Corporation Staff for the Monticello Mill and Box Plants (assumes a purchase price of $319 million for the mill and box plants) 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 747 661 95% 628 $320 $201.0 160.3 $40.7 699 93% 650 $360 $234.0 176.1 $57.9 747 93% 695 $400 $277.9 1942 $83.7 747 95% 710 $410 $291.1 211.3 $79.8 710 $430 $3053 747 95% 710 $452 $320.9 232.7 $ 88.2 747 95% 710 $475 $337.3 2442 $93.1 747 96% 710 $1198 $3536 256.4 $972 747 95% 710 $523 $3713 2692 $102.1 747 95% 710 $549 $389.B 2828 $107.0 $83.8 Monticello Mill Annual capacity (000 tons) Utilization rate Production rate (000 tons) Price per ton Mill sales ($ millions) Cash costs ($ millions) Operating profit before depreciation and taxes Box Plants ($ millions) Operating profit before depreciation and taxes Combined Mill and Plants ($ millions) Operating profit before depreciation and taxes Depreciation expense EBIT Tax @ 36% EBIAT $14.8 $17.1 $18.0 $16.3 $21.8 $11.6 $18.9 $19.8 $22.9 $20.8 $06.0 $101.8 $118.0 $123.9 203 $52.3 20.9 31.4 11.3 27 $72.7 28.3 444 16.0 $28.4 $100.0 350 65.0 57.6 20.7 $36.9 $107.1 393 67.8 24.4 $434 60.5 21.8 $38.7 $112.9 13 78.6 28.3 $50.3 $1299 253 104.5 376 $57.0 00.9 32.7 $58.2 35.1 $62,5 $20.1 $41.6 Assumes conversion of kraft capacity to linerboard.
