PROXY STATEMENT

for

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TREDEGAR CORPORATION

To be held May 17, 2007

Approximate date of mailing—March 28, 2007

VOTING INFORMATION

The Board of Directors (or Board) of Tredegar Corporation, a Virginia corporation (Tredegar, we, our or us), is soliciting your proxy for the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on Thursday, May 17, 2007. This proxy statement and proxy form contain information about the items you will be voting on at the annual meeting.

Who may vote?

You may vote if you owned shares of Tredegar common stock on March 12, 2007, the date our Board established for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting. On that date, there were 39,469,263 outstanding shares of Tredegar common stock. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Tredegar common stock you own.

What are the proposals shareholders will be voting on at the annual meeting?

You will be voting on the following:

	•	The election of three directors;

	•	The ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or PwC) as Tredegar’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007; and

	•	Any other business properly raised at the annual meeting or any adjournments of the annual meeting.

How do I vote my shares? You may vote your shares as follows:

	•	You may vote in person at the annual meeting. Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares by proxy.

	•	You may vote by mail by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy in the self-addressed, stamped envelope provided.

What constitutes a quorum for the annual meeting?

A quorum is a majority of the outstanding shares of Tredegar common stock, present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting. Abstentions, withheld votes and shares held of record by a broker or its nominee that are voted on any matter at the annual meeting are included in determining the number of shares present. Shares held of record by a broker or its nominee that are not voted on any matter at the annual meeting will not be included in determining whether a quorum is present. A quorum is necessary to conduct business at the annual meeting.

What are my voting choices when voting on the director nominees?

In the vote on the election of our director nominees, you may:

	•	vote for all nominees;

	•	withhold votes as to all nominees; or

	•	withhold a vote as to one or more specific nominees.

A nominee is elected to our Board if a plurality of votes cast in the election of directors is cast “for” the nominee. Signing and returning your proxy card will constitute a vote “for” all of the nominees unless your proxy specifies that you are withholding authority to vote for any of the nominees. Any votes withheld will not be counted in determining the number of votes cast. In the event that any nominee for director is unavailable for election, our Board may either reduce the number of directors or choose a substitute nominee. If our Board chooses a substitute nominee, the shares represented by a proxy will be voted for the substitute nominee, unless other instructions are given in the proxy.

Our Board recommends that you vote “FOR” all of the nominees.

What are my voting choices when voting on the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm?

In voting on the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, you may:

	•	vote for the ratification of the appointment of PwC;

	•	vote against the ratification of the appointment of PwC; or

	•	abstain from voting on the ratification of the appointment of PwC.

The ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm requires that the number of votes cast “for” the ratification exceeds the number of votes cast “against” the ratification.

Our Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Tredegar’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

Will my shares be voted if I do not return my proxy?

If you are a Tredegar shareholder whose stock is registered directly in your name with National City Bank, our transfer agent, National City Bank will only vote your shares if it receives specific voting instructions from you.

If you are a Tredegar shareholder whose stock is held in street name with a brokerage firm, your broker may or may not vote your shares in its discretion if you have not provided voting instructions to the broker. Whether the broker may vote your shares depends on the proposals before the meeting. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, your broker may vote your shares in its discretion on “routine matters.” We believe that the election of directors and the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm are routine matters on which brokers are permitted to vote on behalf of their clients if their clients do not furnish voting instructions.

The rules of the New York Stock Exchange, however, do not permit your broker to vote your shares on proposals that are not considered “routine.” When a proposal is not a routine matter and your broker has not received your voting instructions with respect to that proposal, your broker cannot vote your shares on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.”

Can I change or revoke my vote?

You may change or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted. You can change or revoke your proxy by (1) voting in person at the annual meeting, (2) delivering another later dated proxy or (3) notifying Tredegar’s Corporate Secretary in writing that you want to change or revoke your proxy. Attendance at the annual meeting will not itself revoke a proxy. All signed proxies that have not been revoked will be voted at the annual meeting. If your proxy contains any specific instructions, they will be followed.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, it means you have multiple accounts with our transfer agent, National City Bank, or with one or more brokerage firms. To vote all your shares, you will need to sign and return all proxy cards. We encourage you to consolidate your accounts with the same name and address with National City Bank in a single account whenever possible. For additional information, please contact our transfer agent at 1-800-622-6757.

Who pays for the solicitation of proxies?

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies and may use employees to solicit proxies by mail, in person or by telephone. We have engaged The Altman Group, Inc. to solicit proxies from brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians. We will pay Altman $5,000 for its services and will reimburse Altman for its out-of-pocket expenses, including mailing, copying, phone calls, faxes and other matters, and will indemnify Altman against any losses arising out of that firm’s proxy soliciting services on our behalf.

How do I communicate with the Board of Directors?

Our Board unanimously has approved a process for shareholders to send communications to our Board and individual directors. Shareholders can communicate in writing to our Board and, if applicable, any Board Committee or specified individual directors by either mailing communications c/o Tredegar Corporation, 1100 Boulders Parkway, Richmond, Virginia, 23225, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or by sending an e-mail to the following address: directors@tredegar.com. As noted elsewhere in this proxy, you may use these same means to communicate with non-management directors, individually or as a group. We will forward communications to the intended recipient(s), although we screen mail for security purposes.

Where can I find Tredegar’s corporate governance materials?

Our Governance Guidelines, Code of Conduct and the charters of our Audit Committee, Executive Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Governance Committee are available on our website at www.tredegar.com, and are available in print to any shareholder upon request by contacting our investor relations department as described in “How may I obtain Tredegar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and other financial information?” below.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board is divided into three classes of directors. Each class of directors serves for three years. The term for each class is staggered so that one class is elected at each annual meeting. Certain circumstances could cause the terms of our directors to vary and the classes of directors to change if a director is elected for less than a three-year term.

The terms of three of our present directors, Messrs. Donald T. Cowles, John D. Gottwald and Thomas G. Slater, Jr., will expire at the 2007 annual meeting. Upon the recommendation of our Nominating and Governance Committee, our Board has nominated each of these directors for re-election at the 2007 annual meeting for terms expiring at the 2010 annual meeting.

Should all the nominees be elected to our Board, the director classes after the 2007 annual meeting will be as follows:


Class I	Class II	Class III

Terms expiring at 2008 annual meeting	Terms expiring at 2009 annual meeting	Terms expiring at 2010 annual meeting

Horst R. Adam Norman A. Scher R. Gregory Williams	Austin Brockenbrough, III William M. Gottwald Richard L. Morrill	Donald T. Cowles John D. Gottwald Thomas G. Slater, Jr.

Compensation of Directors

Our Nominating and Governance Committee determines and approves director compensation, including retainers and meeting fees as well as salaries and other compensation for directors who are employees of Tredegar (except for a director who is also our Chief Executive Officer, whose compensation is determined solely by our Executive Compensation Committee). Under its charter, our Nominating and Governance Committee may delegate these responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Committee created and approved by our Nominating and Governance Committee. In addition, the subcommittee must be composed entirely of independent directors and operate under a written charter. In determining and approving director compensation, our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the compensation structure and levels provided by management.

We paid each member of our Board who was not an employee of Tredegar or any of our subsidiaries $1,500 for attendance at each Board meeting held in 2006. Our Chairman of the Board received an additional $500 for attendance at each Board meeting during 2006 for which he served in that capacity. Each director who is a member of our Audit Committee, Executive Committee (non-employee directors only), Executive Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee, including the chairperson of each such Committee, received $1,250 for attendance at each meeting of each Committee on which that director serves. We paid any director who participated in a Board or Committee meeting by telephone $500 for each meeting in 2006, with the exception of any Committee chairperson whom we paid $750 for telephonic participation.

In addition to individual meeting fees, the non-employee directors and chairpersons of the Committees received the following annual retainers for 2006, payable in equal quarterly installments:

Board of Directors*	$	23,108
Chairman of the Board of Directors		8,000
Audit Committee Chairperson		5,000
Executive Compensation Committee Chairperson		2,000
Nominating and Governance Committee Chairperson		2,000

* Includes quarterly payments of $4,000 plus 100 shares of Tredegar common stock (aggregate value of equity compensation was $7,108 in 2006).

Effective March 1, 2006, our Board elected Mr. John D. Gottwald as our President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Richard L. Morrill as successor to Mr. Gottwald as our Chairman of the Board. In light of the fact that we have a non-executive/non-employee Chairman of the Board, effective March 1, 2006, our Nominating and Governance Committee established an additional annual retainer for our Chairman of the Board in the amount of $8,000 (payable quarterly) plus additional meeting fees for our Chairman of the Board in the amount of $500 per Board meeting. For the compensation paid to Mr. Gottwald for his services as our Chairman of the Board from January 1, 2006 through February 28, 2006, please refer to the Summary Compensation Table on page 31 of this proxy statement.

Retainers for our Chairman of the Board and Committee chairpersons commence after our Board elects members to these positions.

Outside Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

Under Tredegar’s Outside Director Stock Ownership Guidelines, which our Board adopted on March 1, 2006, all our non-employee directors are to achieve ownership of Tredegar common stock in an amount equal to at least three times that director’s base annual cash retainer. Directors have three years to satisfy 50% of the requirement and six years to satisfy the full requirement.

Tredegar Corporation Directors’ Stock Plan

We maintain the Tredegar Corporation Directors’ Stock Plan (or the Directors Plan), which our shareholders approved. The objectives of the Directors Plan are to assist in recruiting and retaining directors with ability and initiative and to align the interests of directors with those of Tredegar and our shareholders.

The Executive Committee of our Board administers the Directors Plan, except that our Board must approve all awards under the Directors Plan. Our Executive Committee has the authority to grant stock options and make stock awards upon such terms (not inconsistent with the terms of the Directors Plan) as it considers appropriate, subject to the approval of our Board. Any director who is not an employee of Tredegar (or any subsidiary) is eligible to participate in the Directors Plan if our Executive Committee, with the approval of our Board, determines that the director has contributed significantly or can be expected to contribute significantly to our profits or growth.

Under the Directors Plan, a maximum of 45,000 shares of Tredegar common stock may be issued upon the exercise of stock options and the grant of stock awards over a ten-year period. Our Board may adjust that limitation, as it determines is appropriate, in the event of a change in the number of outstanding shares of Tredegar common stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event. Our Board will adjust the terms of outstanding awards to reflect such changes. No option or stock may be awarded under the Directors Plan after February 25, 2008. After this date, the Board may continue to receive equity awards under the shareholder approved 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.

A stock option entitles the director to purchase shares of Tredegar common stock from us at the option price. Our Executive Committee fixes and our Board approves the option price at the time of granting the option, but the price cannot be less than the fair market value of Tredegar common stock on the day the option is granted. The determination of fair market value of Tredegar common stock is based on the closing price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on such date or, in the absence of reported sales on such date, then on the next preceding day that the shares of Tredegar common stock are traded. Stock options may be exercised at the times and subject to any conditions as the option agreement governing the stock options may prescribe. The maximum period in which an option may be exercised will be fixed at the time the option is granted but cannot exceed ten years.

The Directors Plan also permits the award of shares of Tredegar common stock. A stock award may be nontransferable or subject to forfeiture or both until any conditions imposed by the stock award agreement are satisfied. These conditions may include, for example, a requirement that the director complete a specified period of service on our Board.

Under the Directors Plan, outstanding awards that are not vested vest immediately upon the director’s death, the termination of the director’s employment due to disability, the director’s retirement (provided that the director has reached 65 years of age) or a change of control of Tredegar. The Directors Plan generally provides that a change in control occurs if (1) a person (or a group of persons) becomes the owner of 50% or more of our voting securities, (2) there is a substantial change in the composition of our Board, (3) there is a business combination in which our shareholders own 80% or less of the surviving entity or (4) our shareholders approve a liquidation or dissolution of Tredegar or the sale of all or substantially all of Tredegar’s assets.

For 2006, our Nominating and Governance Committee and our Executive Committee recommended, and our Board approved, quarterly stock awards of 100 shares of Tredegar common stock to each non-employee director. Each quarterly stock award became fully vested and transferable immediately upon the date of grant.

BOARD MEETINGS, MEETINGS OF NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS
AND BOARD COMMITTEES

Our Board held seven meetings in 2006. Each director attended all seven Board meetings, except Mr. William M. Gottwald, who was unable to attend one meeting. Each director attended all meetings held in 2006 of Board committees of which the director was a member, except for Mr. Horst R. Adam, who was unable to attend one meeting of our Executive Compensation Committee, and Mr. R. Gregory Williams, who was unable to attend one meeting of our Nominating and Governance Committee.

The non-management directors of our Board meet regularly in private session. Our Board has determined that our Chairman of the Board should chair all meetings of non-management directors, as provided in our Governance Guidelines. During these meetings, the chairperson has the power to lead the meeting, set the agenda and determine the information to be provided, but all non-management directors are encouraged to and do suggest topics for discussion and identify materials and other information for review. In addition, our independent members also meet as a group from time to time. The chairperson of our Nominating and Governance Committee chairs the meetings of independent directors.

Shareholders and other interested persons may contact the non-management directors (as a group) or the chairman (individually) in writing through one of the means described under “Voting Instructions — How do I communicate with the Board of Directors ?” on page 3 of this proxy statement.

Executive Compensation Committee Matters

As noted above, our Executive Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Richard L. Morrill (Chairman), Horst R. Adam and Donald T. Cowles. The functions of our Executive Compensation Committee are more fully described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 24 of this proxy statement and in the Executive Compensation Committee Charter, which is available on our website and is also available in print to any shareholder upon request. See “Voting Information — Where can I find Tredegar’s corporate governance materials?” on page 4 of this proxy statement.

All of the members of our Executive Compensation Committee are “non-employee directors” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), “outside directors” (within the

meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) and “independent directors” (within the meaning of the current New York Stock Exchange listing standards and Tredegar’s Governance Guidelines). No Committee member is a current or former employee of Tredegar or any of our subsidiaries.

Executive Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of our Executive Compensation Committee was at any time an officer or employee of Tredegar, or is related to any other member of our Executive Compensation Committee, any other member of our Board or any executive officer of Tredegar.

Audit Committee Matters

As noted above, our Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. R. Gregory Williams (Chairman), Austin Brockenbrough, III, and Donald T. Cowles. The functions of our Audit Committee are more fully described under “Report of the Audit Committee” beginning on page 46 of this proxy statement and in the Audit Committee Charter, which is available on our website and is also available in print to any shareholder upon request. See “Voting Information — Where can I find Tredegar’s corporate governance materials?” on page 4 of this proxy statement.

Upon the recommendation of our Nominating and Governance Committee, our Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee is independent of management and free of any relationships that, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment and is independent, as that term is defined under the enhanced independence standards for audit committee members in the Exchange Act and rules thereunder, as incorporated into the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and in accordance with the Audit Committee Charter.

Our Board has determined that Mr. R. Gregory Williams is an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our Board has further determined that each of the members of our Audit Committee is financially literate and that, as required by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards, at least one member of the Committee has accounting or related financial management expertise, as such terms are interpreted by our Board in its business judgment.

Our Audit Committee has adopted procedures for pre-approving certain audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. These procedures include reviewing a budget for audit and permissible non-audit services. The budget includes a description of, and a budgeted amount for, particular categories of audit and permissible non-audit services that are recurring in nature and therefore anticipated at the time the budget is submitted. Audit Committee approval is required to exceed the budget amount for a particular category of audit and permissible non-audit services and to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for any audit and permissible non-audit services not included in the budget. For both types of pre-approval, our Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules on auditor independence. Our Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to the Chairperson of our Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee periodically monitors the services rendered and actual fees paid to the independent registered public accounting firm to ensure that such services are within the parameters approved by our Audit Committee.

Nominating and Governance Committee Matters

As noted above, our Nominating and Governance Committee currently consists of Messrs. Austin Brockenbrough, III (Chairman), Richard L. Morrill and R. Gregory Williams. The functions of our Nominating and Governance Committee include identifying, recruiting and recommending director

candidates for nomination by our Board and determining and approving director compensation (except for a director who is also our Chief Executive Officer, whose compensation is determined solely by our Executive Compensation Committee). Our Nominating and Governance Committee’s functions are more fully described in the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter, which is available on our website and is also available in print to any shareholder upon request. See “Voting Information — Where can I find Tredegar’s corporate governance materials?” on page 4 of this proxy statement.

All members of our Nominating and Governance Committee are independent, as defined under the general independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Furthermore, the Governance Guidelines require that all members of our Nominating and Governance Committee be independent.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

Our Board is currently composed of nine directors, five of whom our Board has determined are independent under the corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and our Governance Guidelines (see “Tredegar’s Board of Directors” beginning on page 6 of this proxy statement). The primary mission of our Board is to represent and protect the interests of our shareholders by overseeing management and acting in the best interest of Tredegar and our shareholders. Our Board has a non-executive Chairman whose duties and responsibilities are separate and distinct from those of our Chief Executive Officer. The responsibilities of the standing committees of our Board are addressed separately in this proxy statement.

In addition to charters for each of the standing committees of our Board, our corporate governance structure is enhanced with a set of Governance Guidelines and a comprehensive Code of Conduct, each as described below.

Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct applies to our officers, employees and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (who also serves the functions of Chief Accounting Officer and Controller). We have always conducted our business in accordance with the highest standards of conduct. Full compliance with the letter and spirit of the laws applicable to our businesses is fundamental to us. Equally important are honesty, integrity and fairness in our business operations and in our dealings with others. Diligently applying these standards makes good business sense and allows us to earn the trust and respect of our shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, regulators and the communities in which we operate. We have provided employees, customers and suppliers with a number of avenues for the reporting of ethics violations or similar concerns, including an anonymous telephone hotline provided by a third-party vendor. Our Code of Conduct reflects the foregoing principles.

Governance Guidelines

Our Board has also adopted a set of Governance Guidelines that reflect our governance principles and its long-standing commitment to maintaining high corporate governance standards. Our Governance Guidelines are available on our website and are also available in print to any shareholder upon request. See “Voting Information — Where can I find Tredegar’s corporate governance materials?” on page 4 of this proxy statement.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for periodically reviewing the Governance Guidelines and the Code of Conduct and for considering and, as necessary, making recommendations on governance issues that should be addressed by our Board.

Director Attendance at Annual Meeting of Shareholders

Our policy is that directors attend the annual meeting of shareholders. All of our directors attended the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders.

Director Continuing Education

We support the attendance of our directors at director education programs sponsored by third parties. Typically, director education programs focus on issues and current trends affecting directors of publicly-held companies. We reimburse our directors for tuition and expenses associated with attending these programs. In addition, we sponsor internal educational programs for our Board on topics developed in consultation with our directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Messrs. John D. Gottwald, a director and our President and Chief Executive Officer, and William M. Gottwald, a director and a Vice Chairman of the Board, are brothers. In addition, Mr. Thomas A. Slater, Jr., is married to Mr. John D. Gottwald’s sister-in-law and is a partner of the law firm of Hunton & Williams LLP, which provides legal services to us on a variety of matters. Messrs. John D. Gottwald, William M. Gottwald and their father, Mr. Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr. (or the Gottwalds), together with members of their immediate families, may be deemed to be a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, although there is no agreement among them with respect to the acquisition, retention, disposition or voting of Tredegar common stock. In addition, because members of the Gottwald family are directors and our largest shareholders, they may be considered to be “control persons” of Tredegar and have the ability to control the recommendations of our Board.

Our Audit Committee is primarily responsible for approving related person transactions, as defined in the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter, the relevant provisions of which require the Committee to review related person transactions for potential conflicts of interest situations. In addition, pursuant to our Investment Conflict of Interest Policy, our Investment Policy Committee is responsible for approving any transactions by our employees, officers or directors involving investments in non-marketable securities in which we are also invested. Our Investment Policy Committee is composed entirely of independent directors.

(d) This amount includes 249,594 shares of Tredegar common stock owned of record by the trustee of the Savings Plan for the benefit of John D. Gottwald. The trustee votes shares of Tredegar common stock held under the Savings Plan according to instructions obtained from employees participating in the plan. If a participating employee does not give the trustee voting instructions, the trustee votes the employee’s shares according to our Board’s recommendations to the shareholders (as long as doing so is consistent with the trustee’s fiduciary duties). Because members of the Gottwald family are directors and our largest shareholders, they may be considered to be “control persons” of Tredegar and have the ability to control the recommendations of our Board.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Compensation Philosophy

We have two primary operating businesses—Film Products and Aluminum Extrusions. Both businesses are in highly competitive industries that require technological innovation and manufacturing efficiency. To lead and manage these businesses, we require high-caliber executive talent with strong vision and operational skills.

The objectives of our executive compensation plans are to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive officers. To accomplish these objectives, we rely on a pay strategy that emphasizes performance-based compensation through annual and long-term incentives over fixed base salary. This pay strategy aligns with our business strategy of generating strong operating results and shareholder value creation while controlling fixed costs. In this manner, our executive compensation program supports and reinforces our business objectives and creates a strong link between pay and performance.

Allocations between short-term and long-term compensation opportunities and between cash and equity awards take into account market data, but may vary over time and among executives. This variance is desirable to maintain alignment between executive rewards and business priorities and necessary to reflect both company-specific and individual facts and circumstances relevant to pay decisions.

Process and Procedure for Determining Compensation of Executive Officers

The primary role of our Executive Compensation Committee (or, for purposes of this discussion, the Committee) is to develop and oversee the implementation of our philosophy with respect to the compensation of our executive officers, including the executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 31 of this proxy statement (or the named executive officers). The Committee has the overall responsibility of evaluating the performance of and determining the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and approving the compensation structure for our other executive officers. Our Chief Executive Officer makes specific recommendations to the Committee regarding the compensation of the other executive officers based on the compensation structure approved by the Committee. After review and discussion, the Committee gives its final approval. The Committee reports regularly to our Board on matters relating to the Committee’s responsibilities.

Under its charter, the Committee has the authority to engage compensation consultants to report on comparative benchmark executive officer compensation data based on credible survey sources and position matches and to advise generally on the design and administration of our compensation programs. In determining the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and approving the compensation structure for our other executive officers, the Committee considers relevant market benchmarking data. For 2006, the Committee examined data on compensation compiled by Clear Management Human Resources Consulting for executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer and by Mercer Human Resources Consulting for our Chief Executive Officer. The Committee provides instructions to the consultants pertaining to the scope of work to be performed but does not direct how the work is performed. In addition, the Committee reviewed a tally sheet showing all elements of compensation and total compensation payable to the named executive officers.

Executive Officer Compensation Program

The core elements of the compensation program for our executive officers are described below:

Element	Description	Objective

Base salary and bonus	Fixed compensation Discretionary cash bonus for exemplary service to Tredegar	Reflects competitive market compensation, individual performance, experience and level of responsibility Rewards exemplary service to Tredegar

Annual incentives	Short-term variable compensation via the 2006 annual incentive plan	Rewards achievement of financial performance goals and individual performance objectives

Long-term incentives	Long-term variable compensation via the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan	Rewards achievement of long- term performance goals and shareholder value creation

Health and Welfare Benefits	401(k) Plan, Insurance and Savings Plan Benefit Restoration Plan	Provides competitive benefits and savings opportunities for retirement

Pension	Retirement Income Plan and Supplemental Retirement Benefit Restoration Plan	Provides retirement security

Elements of Compensation

Base Salaries, Bonuses and Annual Incentives

Base Salaries

We provide our executive officers with base salaries that are targeted at competitive market levels and reflect the executive’s level of experience and responsibility. We determine base salaries using survey data provided by compensation consultants to identify an appropriate range around the median salary for comparable executive positions. We generally try to set our officers’ salaries within this range based on individual performance, experience and level of responsibility. We determine annual salary increases based on a variety of factors including individual performance, competitiveness of the officer’s salary, our financial condition, operating results and other variable components of compensation.

Effective March 1, 2006, our Board elected Mr. John D. Gottwald as our President and Chief Executive Officer and, at his request, the Committee approved a 2006 base salary for him of $285,000. Mr. Gottwald’s 2006 base salary and short-term compensation (for example, annual incentives under our annual cash incentive compensation plan) are well below market levels for comparable positions.

In 2006, the Committee awarded base salary increases of 2.5% for the named executive officers, other than Messrs. Gottwald, Scher and Marshall. The Committee determined such increases to be appropriate based on Tredegar’s and individual performance. These increases moved us toward our objective of maintaining salaries at or near the 50% percentile for executives in comparable positions. Base salaries and short-term compensation (for example, annual incentives under our annual cash incentive compensation

plan) for the other named executive officers were targeted at market median. The Committee believes setting salaries and short-term compensation at this level allows us to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive officers while maintaining an appropriate cost structure.

Effective March 1, 2006, Mr. Scher resigned as our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Nominating and Governance Committee, which generally determines and approves director compensation, including retainers and meeting fees as well as salaries and other compensation for directors who are employees of Tredegar (other than our Chief Executive Officer), established an annual base salary for Mr. Scher of $150,000 to reflect his role as a Vice Chairman of the Board and his reduced responsibilities as a non-executive employee of Tredegar.

Effective October 1, 2006, our Board elected, and we hired, Mr. Marshall as our Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Mr. Marshall received an annual base salary of $250,000 and a cash signing bonus of $20,000, which he will repay to us if he voluntarily terminates his employment with us before October 3, 2007. This signing bonus was in lieu of Mr. Marshall participating in our 2006 Cash Incentive Plan.

Bonuses

From time to time, we provide our executive officers with cash bonuses, which are intended to reward exemplary service to Tredegar. Mr. Gottwald recommended, and our Nominating and Governance Committee approved, a cash bonus for Mr. Scher of $75,000 based upon his performance with respect to numerous special projects and Tredegar’s significant progress in achieving certain strategic business goals in 2006. In addition, Mr. Gottwald also recommended, and the Executive Compensation Committee approved, a cash bonus for Ms. Taylor of $32,000 based upon her successful leadership of and performance achieved by the Film Products segment in 2006 and a cash bonus for Mr. Marshall of $10,000 based upon his contributions to Tredegar in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Annual Incentives

Annual incentive opportunities serve to link executive rewards to our financial performance and the achievement of individual objectives. Each year, we adopt an annual incentive compensation plan that establishes specifically identified payout opportunities dependent upon achieving pre-determined financial performance targets and personal performance objectives.

For 2006, we adopted an annual incentive compensation plan (payable in early 2007) for executive officers and certain other key employees of Tredegar and our subsidiaries (the 2006 Cash Incentive Plan). Under the 2006 Cash Incentive Plan, each executive officer (including our Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers, other than Messrs. Scher and Marshall) was eligible for a cash performance incentive payment payable in 2007 if 2006 financial performance and individual performance goals were satisfied. For the executive officers participating in the 2006 Cash Incentive Plan, other than Ms. Taylor, company performance represented 50% of the individual’s threshold, target and maximum amounts, with individual goals representing the other 50%. For Ms. Taylor, division performance goals represented 70% of her threshold, target and maximum amounts, whereas individual goals represented 30%. The Committee believes this allocation correctly reflected Ms. Taylor’s enhanced opportunity to affect division performance in contrast to the other executives’ shared responsibility for company performance. Payment amounts were to fall within the ranges set forth below; placement within the range depended on the extent to which applicable company financial performance and individual performance goals were satisfied.

•	Mr. Gottwald	0% and 150% of his base salary

•	Ms. Taylor	0% and 60% of her base salary

•	Other named executive officers, other than Messrs. Scher and Marshall	0% and 52.5% of such executive’s base salary

The minimum 2006 performance goals, which are the triggers for payments under the 2006 Cash Incentive Plan, are based on the attainment of financial goals established in our 2006 business plan. If performance was below plan with respect to the goals set, no incentive plan payment would be made. As the minimum, or “threshold,” level of performance is also the “target” level of performance, the amounts set forth in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table on page 34 for “Threshold” and “Target” payouts are the same. In the event the minimum 2006 performance goals were met, the applicable payments would equate to 50% of base salary in the case of our Chief Executive Officer, 20% of Ms. Taylor’s salary and 17.5% of respective salaries of the other named executive officers, other than Messrs. Scher and Marshall (for purposes of incentive calculations, base salary means the base salary in effect on December 31, 2006).

Under the 2006 Plan, the financial component for corporate level executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers (other than Ms. Taylor and Messrs. Scher and Marshall) and certain other key corporate level employees was tied to consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (or EBIT) from manufacturing operations. For Ms. Taylor and key employees in Film Products the financial component was tied to division or segment operating profit reported by Film Products (depending on position). For key employees in Aluminum Extrusions the financial component was tied to economic profit added reported by Aluminum Extrusions. Economic profit added is generally defined by Tredegar as adjusted operating profit after taxes less a charge for the cost of capital. The Committee reviewed and approved the financial goals used for the 2006 cash incentive plan, and believed that the degree of stretch performance required for the threshold and maximum payouts appropriately aligned pay and performance.

In addition to these financial performance goals, the Committee included individual performance goals in determining an executive’s ability to earn incentive payments under the 2006 Cash Incentive Plan.

Individual performance categories for our Chief Executive Officer included: (1) the development, implementation and execution of strategies at both the corporate and operating company levels and (2) company financial and operational results. With respect to the other executive officers, individual performance metrics were drawn from the following categories: budgets, compliance objectives, successor development objectives, risk management objectives, strategic investment objectives, operating profit, cost reductions, development of strategic plans, process improvement and organizational effectiveness.

Overall, 2006 financial and individual performance resulted in incentive payments at the maximum payout levels.

For 2007, we adopted the 2007 Incentive Plan for Executive Officers. The Plan has essentially the same terms as the 2006 Plan, except that the financial component being used for the corporate level executive officers other than Ms. Taylor is overall economic profit added for Tredegar’s manufacturing operations and for Ms. Taylor the financial component being used is economic profit added for Film Products.

Long-Term Incentives

Long-term incentives, primarily equity-based awards, are an important element of our compensation program. The 2004 Plan allows for the granting of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights

and other equity awards based on Tredegar common stock, as well as performance-based long-term incentive cash awards. We believe long-term incentives, such as those permitted by the 2004 Plan, promote our success by focusing employee efforts on achieving those performance goals that lead to long-term growth of shareholder value.

The 2004 Plan reserved 2,000,000 shares for use by the Committee in providing equity-based long-term incentive awards to executive officers, employees, and other individuals providing valuable services to Tredegar or our subsidiaries. In addition, to recognize the different economic impact of certain option awards and non-option awards, no more than an aggregate of 600,000 shares (30% of the shares reserved) may be granted under the 2004 Plan in the form of non-option awards. For a further discussion of the 2004 Plan, see “Compensation of Executive Officers — Tredegar Corporation 2004 Equity Incentive Plan” beginning on page 35 of this proxy statement.

The Committee routinely approves stock option awards following receipt of advice that we are not in possession of material non-public information. We do not time or plan to time our release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

In 2006, the Committee recommended awards of stock options to the named executive officers. In light of our financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and consistent with our pay-for-performance culture, the Committee believed that awards of stock options, as opposed to other forms of equity compensation, would better motivate the named executive officers to achieve long-term success and enhance shareholder value. In making the 2006 stock option awards, the Committee considered the total compensation of each named executive officer receiving a stock option award and relevant market data, in addition to our 2005 financial results.

On March 7, 2006, we granted stock options under the 2004 Plan to the named executive officers, other than Messrs. Gottwald, Scher and Marshall. The stock options become exercisable on March 7, 2008 and will expire on March 7, 2013. The stock options vest immediately upon the named executive officer’s death, the termination of the named executive officer’s employment due to disability, retirement (provided that the named executive officer has reached 65 years of age) or a change of control of Tredegar.

In connection with his hiring, Mr. Marshall received stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of Tredegar common stock, which will become exercisable on October 2, 2008 and will expire on October 2, 2013 and 2,000 restricted shares of Tredegar common stock, which will vest on October 2, 2009. The stock options and restricted shares vest immediately upon Mr. Marshall’s death, the termination of his employment due to disability, his retirement (provided that he has reached 65 years of age) or a change of control of Tredegar.

At Mr. Gottwald’s request, the Committee deferred its decision to make a long-term incentive award to Mr. Gottwald until after the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. At our February, 2007 meeting we approved a grant of performance units under the 2004 Plan to Mr. Gottwald. The Committee established a corporate-wide 2007 financial performance target based on economic profit added for Tredegar’s manufacturing operations with respect to his performance units. Mr. Gottwald is eligible to receive up to 36,000 shares of Tredegar common stock. If the performance criteria for 2007 are satisfied, 50% of the shares awarded to Mr. Gottwald will vest in 2008, with the remaining 50% to vest in 2009.

Other Benefits for Chief Executive Officer and Executive Officers

In addition to the cash and equity compensation discussed above, we provide our Chief Executive Officer and other named executives with the same benefit package available to all of our salaried employees. The package includes:

	•	Health and dental insurance (portion of costs)

	•	Basic life insurance

	•	Long-term disability insurance

	•	Savings Plan and Savings Plan Benefit Restoration Plan (401(k) plan)

	•	Tredegar Corporation Retirement Income Plan (defined benefit pension plan) (or the Pension Plan)

We have also historically provided to a limited number of key executives, including Messrs. Gottwald and Scher, a supplemental executive retirement program, or “SERP,” known as the Tredegar Corporation Retirement Benefit Restoration Plan. See “Pension Benefits” beginning on page 39 of this proxy statement for additional information. Effective December 31, 2005, however, we terminated further participation in our SERP and froze benefit accruals for existing participants as part of our efforts to maintain an appropriate cost structure.

We have recently redesigned our retirement programs to better meet the needs of today’s mobile workforce, permit more individual involvement in retirement planning and be more affordable, predictable and controllable in terms of cost. While the Savings Plan generally met these objectives, we determined that the unpredictability of the cost under the defined benefit pension plan was undesirable. Therefore, we made the decision to shift our focus from the defined benefit pension plan to the defined contribution plan for all salaried employees and hourly employees at Lake Zurich and Red Springs. In making these changes, we paid particular attention to minimizing the potential negative impact the changes may have on the longer service employees who were closer to retirement.

Effective January 1, 2007, we implemented the following changes to our retirement programs:

	•	We closed the Pension Plan to new employees and froze the pay for active employees used to compute benefits as of December 31, 2007. Participants will, however, continue to earn benefit credit for each year of service after 2007.

	•	We began making matching contributions to the Savings Plan of $1.00 for every $1.00 the participant contributes, up from the prior contribution of 50 cents for each $1.00 the participant contributed. The maximum matching contribution will be up to 6% of an employee’s base pay for 2007 and 2008 and up to 5% of base pay thereafter.

	•	We adopted immediate vesting for active employees of past matching contributions to the Savings Plan as well as future matching contributions as opposed to the five-year incremental vesting scale that was in place, and we began enrolling newly hired employees automatically at 3% of base pay, unless they elect to enroll at a different level.

We do not provide executives with additional perquisites that many companies have used as additional compensation, such as:

	•	Executive employment contracts upon entering into employment with the company

	•	Company cars or vehicle allowances

	•	Personal use of corporate assets

	•	Company-funded deferred compensation programs

We do not believe that these types of programs are currently needed to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive officers.

Corporate Tax and Accounting Considerations

The Internal Revenue Code disallows corporate tax deductions for executive compensation in excess of $1 million for any of our Chief Executive Officer or the next four most highly-compensated officers of Tredegar. Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) allows certain exemptions to the deduction cap, including pay programs that depend on formulas and, therefore, are “performance-based.”

The Committee considers the deductibility of compensation when reviewing and approving pay levels and pay programs, but reserves the right to award compensation that is not deductible under 162(m) if it is determined to be in the best interests of Tredegar and our shareholders. At the present time, we are not at risk of losing a deduction under 162(m) because no individual covered by the law receives compensation in excess of $1 million.

As noted above, we attempt to operate in a manner that maintains an appropriate cost structure. As part of our efforts, we regularly review the accounting treatment of different forms of compensation, including the forms of awards available under the 2004 Plan, to determine which forms of awards, if any, (1) serve to motivate appropriately our executive officers to enhance shareholder value and (2) enable us to operate within an appropriate cost structure.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Executive Compensation Committee has the overall responsibility of evaluating the performance and determining the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and approving the compensation structure for Tredegar’s other executive officers. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Executive Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement with management. Based on such review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section be included in this proxy statement.

Executive Compensation Committee:

	Richard L. Morrill, Chairman

(1) Represents the dollar amount we recognized for financial reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 computed in accordance with FAS 123R. For purposes of calculating these amounts, we have used the same assumptions used for financial reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. For a description of the assumptions we used, see Note 1 to our financial statements, which is included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. For a discussion of the terms of these stock options, see “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” on page 34 of this proxy statement. The actual value a named executive officer may receive depends on market prices and there can be no assurance that the amounts reflected in the Option Awards column will actually be realized. No gain to a named executive officer is possible without an appreciation in stock value.

Mr. Surgner was hired on December 16, 2002 and resigned effective August 31, 2006. Ms. Cummings was hired on June 1, 2002 and resigned effective May 4, 2006. In connection with their respective resignations, Mr. Surgner and Ms. Cummings each forfeited 15,000 stock options. This amount represents all unvested stock options held by each of Mr. Surgner and Ms. Cummings as of their respective resignations.

(2) Mr. Gottwald was elected President and Chief Executive Officer of Tredegar effective March 1, 2006. He previously served as Chairman of the Board.

(3) Mr. Gottwald’s salary for 2006 included $8,333 for January and February when he served as Chairman of the Board. The remaining $237,500 was his salary for the period March through December when he served, as he continues to serve, as President and Chief Executive Officer.

(4) This amount represents the change in actuarial present value in the Tredegar Corporation Retirement Income Plan (or the Pension Plan), from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006. For purposes of computing the actuarial present value of the accrued benefit payable to the named executive officers, we have used the same assumptions used for financial reporting purposes under GAAP, except that the retirement age assumption has been reduced from age 65 (the normal retirement age) to age 60 (the earliest unreduced benefit retirement age). Other assumptions under GAAP include (a) a 5.75% discount rate for the measurement period ended December 31, 2006, (b) the named executive officer will remain in our employ until he or she reaches the earliest unreduced benefit retirement age and (c) payments will be made monthly as a single life annuity with five years of benefits guaranteed. For a description of the assumptions we used, see Note 11 to our financial statements and the discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Pension Benefits” both of which are included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

(5) The actuarial present value of Mr. Gottwald’s benefit under the Tredegar Corporation Retirement Benefit Restoration Plan (or the Restoration Plan), increased by $35,901 from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006. The actuarial present value of Mr. Scher’s benefit under the Restoration Plan decreased by $15,568 from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006. Messrs. Gottwald and Scher are the only named executive officers that participate in the Restoration Plan. For purposes of computing the actuarial present value of the accrued benefit payable to Messrs. Gottwald and Scher, we have used the same assumptions used for financial reporting purposes under GAAP, except that the retirement age assumption has been reduced from age 65 (the normal retirement age) to age 60 (the earliest unreduced benefit retirement age). Other assumptions under GAAP include (a) a 5.75% discount rate for the measurement period ended December 31, 2006, (b) the named executive officer will remain in our employ until he or she reaches the earliest unreduced benefit retirement age, (c) payments will be made monthly as a single life annuity with five years of benefits guaranteed and (d) benefit accruals under the Restoration Plan are frozen as of December 31, 2005. For a description of the assumptions we used, see Note 11 to our financial statements and the discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Pension Benefits” both of which are included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. We froze the benefit available under the Restoration Plan on December 31, 2005.

(6) These amounts include the following:

(7) Mr. Scher served as Chief Executive Officer of Tredegar until March 1, 2006, at which point he resigned from this position and began service as Vice Chairman of Tredegar’s Board.

(8) Effective as of October 1, 2006, our Board elected, and we hired, Mr. Marshall as our Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, with an annual base salary of $250,000. In connection with his hiring, Mr. Marshall received stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of Tredegar common stock, which will become exercisable on October 2, 2008, at an exercise price of $16.31 per share and will expire on October 2, 2013; 2,000 restricted shares of Tredegar common stock ($16.31 per share on the date of grant), which will vest on October 2, 2009; and a cash signing bonus of $20,000, which he must repay to us if he voluntarily terminates his employment with us before October 3, 2007. This signing bonus was in lieu of Mr. Marshall participating in our 2006 Cash Incentive Plan. In addition, Mr. Marshall received a bonus of $10,000 for his contributions to Tredegar in the fourth quarter of 2006.

The value set forth under “Stock Awards” represents the aggregate dollar amount we recognized for financial reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 computed in accordance with FAS 123R of the shares of Tredegar common stock awarded to Mr. Marshall in connection with his hiring. For purposes of calculating these amounts, we have used the same assumptions used for financial reporting purposes under GAAP. For a description of the assumptions we used, see Note 1 to the financial statements, which is included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

(9) We hired Mr. Marshall effective October 1, 2006. He became a participant in the Pension Plan on January 1, 2007.

(10) We hired Mr. Surgner on December 16, 2002, and he resigned effective August 31, 2006. He neither attained normal retirement age nor had five years of vesting service and therefore had no benefit under the Pension Plan.

(11) We hired Ms. Cummings on June 1, 2002 and she resigned effective May 4, 2006. She neither attained normal retirement age nor had five years of vesting service and therefore had no benefit under the Pension Plan.

Employment Agreements

We do not have any employment agreements in place for any of our named executive officers or directors.

(1) We made the grants of stock options and shares of restricted Tredegar common stock under the 2004 Plan.

(2) In accordance with the 2004 Plan, the per share exercise price for the stock options was not less than the fair market value of the shares of Tredegar common stock on the date of the grant of the option, as determined by the closing price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on that date.

(3) Mr. Scher was not eligible to participate in any non-equity incentive plan in 2006.

(4) We hired Mr. Marshall effective October 1, 2006, and he did not participate in any non-equity incentive plan in 2006.

(5) Mr. Surgner resigned his employment with us effective August 31, 2006, and he is therefore not eligible for payment. Mr. Surgner also forfeited all unvested stock options.

(6) Ms. Cummings resigned her employment with us effective May 4, 2006, and she is therefore not eligible for payment. Ms. Cummings also forfeited all unvested stock options.

Tredegar Corporation 2004 Equity Incentive Plan

We maintain the Tredegar Corporation 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (or the 2004 Plan), which our shareholders approved. The purposes of the 2004 Plan are to assist in recruiting and retaining the services of individuals with high ability and initiative, provide greater incentives for employees and other individuals who provide valuable services to us and our subsidiaries and associate the interests of those persons with those of Tredegar and our shareholders.

Eligibility. Our Executive Compensation Committee administers the 2004 Plan and is authorized to select the individuals who will participate in the 2004 Plan and to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock and stock unit awards and incentive awards upon such terms as our Executive Compensation Committee considers appropriate. Any employee of Tredegar, including any named executive officer and any member of our Board, is eligible to participate in the 2004 Plan if our Executive Compensation Committee determines that the individual has contributed significantly, or can be expected to contribute significantly, to the profits or growth of Tredegar or one of our affiliates.

Limits. A maximum of 2,000,000 shares of Tredegar common stock may be issued under the 2004 Plan, but no more than 600,000 shares of Tredegar common stock may be issued as stock awards or in settlement of stock units. The 2004 Plan provides that the aggregate share authorization will be increased by shares of Tredegar common stock subject to awards and awards granted under our prior plans that are terminated, forfeited or otherwise expire without the issuance of the full number of shares subject to the awards. The 2004 Plan also provides that no participant:

	•	may be granted stock options or stock appreciation rights in any calendar year for more than 450,000 shares of Tredegar common stock;

	•	may receive stock awards or stock units in any calendar year covering more than 75,000 shares of Tredegar common stock; or

	•	may receive an incentive award payment in any calendar year that exceeds the lesser of (1) 75% of the participant’s base salary (prior to any salary reduction or deferral election) as of the date of grant of the incentive award or (2) $250,000.

The Executive Compensation Committee may not grant awards under the 2004 Plan after February 19, 2014.

Stock Options. The per share exercise price of any stock option granted under the 2004 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the shares of Tredegar common stock on the date of the grant of the option. The determination of fair market value of Tredegar common stock is based on the closing price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on such date or, in the absence of reported sales on such date, then on the next preceding day that the shares of Tredegar common stock were traded. The Executive Compensation Committee establishes the duration of stock options granted under the 2004 Plan, but that duration may not exceed ten years (five years in the case of an option granted to a Plan participant who owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Tredegar). The Executive Compensation Committee may provide that an option is exercisable in whole or in part immediately upon the grant or at such times and in compliance with such requirements as the Executive Compensation Committee determines.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right entitles the holder to receive a payment, with respect to each share of Tredegar common stock encompassed by the stock appreciation right, of an amount the Executive Compensation Committee determines. In the absence of such a determination, the payment will be equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Tredegar common stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of Tredegar common stock on the date of grant. The determination of fair market

value of Tredegar common stock is based on the closing price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on such date or, in the absence of reported sales on such date, then on the next preceding day that the shares of Tredegar common stock were traded. The maximum term of a stock appreciation right is ten years. Stock appreciation rights may be granted alone or in conjunction with an option (in which case, the exercise of the option reduces the number of shares of Tredegar common stock that remain subject to the stock appreciation right and, correspondingly, the exercise of a stock appreciation right reduces the number of shares of Tredegar common stock subject to the option).

Stock Awards. A stock award is an award of Tredegar common stock. A stock unit is an award that allows the participant to earn a benefit based on any increase in the fair market value of a share of Tredegar common stock. The determination of fair market value of Tredegar common stock is based on the closing price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on such date or, in the absence of reported sales on such date, then on the next preceding day that the shares of Tredegar common stock were traded. Stock awards and stock units may be nontransferable or subject to forfeiture or both unless and until conditions the Executive Compensation Committee prescribed are satisfied. The conditions may include, for example, a requirement that the participant complete a stated period of service or that certain performance objectives be achieved. The objectives may be based on performance goals that are stated with reference to the performance criteria described below. A stock award or stock unit that is not immediately vested and transferable will be restricted for a period of at least three years (or one year if the award is subject to objectives stated with reference to the performance criteria described below).

Incentive Awards. An incentive award is an opportunity to earn a cash payment upon the achievement of stated performance objectives. The performance objectives are stated with reference to the performance criteria described below.

The Executive Compensation Committee may prescribe that stock awards and stock units will vest only upon the satisfaction of performance objectives. The 2004 Plan provides that the performance objectives may be stated with reference to the fair market value of Tredegar common stock or on Tredegar’s, a subsidiary’s or an operating unit’s economic profit added, return on equity, earnings per share, total earnings, earnings growth, return on capital or return on assets.

The 2004 Plan provides that all outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights will be exercisable and all outstanding stock awards, stock units and incentive awards will be earned if there is a change in control of Tredegar.

2006 Grants

On March 7, 2006, we granted stock options under the 2004 Plan to the named executive officers, other than Messrs. Gottwald, Scher and Marshall. The stock options become exercisable on March 7, 2008 and will expire on March 7, 2013. The stock options vest immediately upon the grantee’s death, the termination of the grantee’s employment due to disability, the grantee’s retirement (provided that the grantee has reached 65 years of age) or a change of control of Tredegar.

In connection with his hiring, Mr. Marshall received stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of Tredegar common stock, which will become exercisable on October 2, 2008 and will expire on October 2, 2013 and 2,000 restricted shares of Tredegar common stock, which will vest on October 2, 2009. The stock options and restricted stock vest immediately upon Mr. Marshall’s death, the termination of his employment due to disability, his retirement (provided that he has reached 65 years of age) or a change of control of Tredegar. Dividends will be paid on the shares of restricted Tredegar common stock we granted to Mr. Marshall at the same rate as dividends on shares of unrestricted Tredegar common stock.

For a further discussion of the stock options and shares of restricted stock granted to the named executive officers in 2006, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Compensation — Long-Term Incentives” beginning on page 27 of this proxy statement.

We adopted an annual incentive compensation plan for 2006 (payable in early 2007) for executive officers and certain other key employees of Tredegar and our subsidiaries (or the 2006 Cash Incentive Plan).

(1) For purposes of computing the actuarial present value of the accrued benefit payable to the named executive officers, Tredegar has used the same assumptions used for financial reporting purposes under GAAP, except that the retirement age assumption has been reduced from age 65 (the normal retirement age) to age 60 (the earliest unreduced benefit retirement age). Other assumptions under GAAP include (a) a 5.75% discount rate for the measurement period ended December 31, 2006, (b) the named executive officer will remain in Tredegar’s employ until he or she reaches the earliest unreduced benefit retirement age, (c) monthly payments will be made based upon a single life annuity with five years of benefits guaranteed as adjusted for the actual payment option selected and (d) benefit accruals under the Restoration Plan are frozen as of December 31, 2005. For a description of the assumptions we used, see Note 11 to our financial statements and the discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Pension Benefits” both of which are included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

(2) We froze Messrs. Gottwald and Scher’s benefits under this plan on December 31, 2005.

(3) We hired Mr. Marshall on October 1, 2006. He became a participant in the Pension Plan on January 1, 2007.

(4) We hired Mr. Surgner on December 16, 2002, and he resigned as of August 31, 2006. He neither attained normal retirement age nor had five years of vesting service and therefore had no benefit under the Pension Plan.

(5) We hired Ms. Cummings on June 1, 2002, and she resigned as of May 4, 2006. She neither attained normal retirement age nor had five years of vesting service and therefore had no benefit under the Pension Plan.

Pension Plan

The Tredegar Corporation Retirement Income Plan (or the Pension Plan) is a defined benefit pension plan applicable generally to salaried, full-time employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. All of the named executive officers participate in the Pension Plan. Also, although Mr. Surgner and Ms. Cummings were participants in the Pension Plan, they both terminated their employment before satisfying either the age or service requirement for receiving benefits under the Pension Plan.

The Pension Plan assumes a normal retirement age of 65 and does not impose a vested service requirement as a condition to paying benefits to a participant who retires upon reaching that age. In most other cases involving a separation of service from Tredegar before age 65, a participant must have accrued at least five years of pension vesting service, as defined in the Pension Plan, in order to be entitled to receive any benefits under the Pension Plan. As of December 31, 2006, our named executives had accrued the following number of pension vesting service years under the Pension Plan for their service through December 31, 2006:

	Name		Vesting

	John D. Gottwald		29
	Norman A. Scher		18
	Nancy M. Taylor		15
	D. Andrew Edwards		14
	McAlister C. Marshall, II		-0-
	Larry J. Scott		27
	W. Hildebrandt Surgner, Jr.		4
	Tammy H. Cummings		4

A participant who retires at age 65 or later, with certain exceptions, is entitled to a monthly benefit paid as a single life annuity with five years of guaranteed payments. The monthly payment equals 1/12th of the sum of:

	•	1.1% of his or her final average pay (determined by averaging the participant’s base salary plus 50% of incentive bonuses for his or her three consecutive highest paid years in the ten-year period preceding his or her departure from Tredegar) multiplied by the number of years of pension benefit service he or she has accrued; and

	•	0.4% of his or her final average pay in excess of social security covered compensation, multiplied by his or her years of pension benefit service.

Mr. Scher, who is 69 years old, is currently eligible to retire.

Unless he or she elects otherwise, a participant in the Pension Plan who is married as of the date he or she is eligible to begin receiving payments under the Pension Plan will receive his or her payments as a qualified joint and survivor annuity, which is the actuarial equivalent of the single life annuity with five years guaranteed. This form of annuity provides a reduced monthly retirement benefit payable to the participant for life followed by monthly payments to his or her spouse in an amount equal to 50% of the amount the

participant received during life. Under the contingent annuity option of the Pension Plan, an unmarried participant may also elect to receive reduced monthly payments for life followed by monthly payments to a named contingent annuity in an amount equal to 100% or 50% of amount payable to the participant during his or her lifetime.

In accordance with the provision in the Pension Plan allowing us to amend, modify or terminate it at any time, effective January 1, 2007, we closed the Pension Plan to new participants and froze the pay used to compute benefits for existing participants as of December 31, 2007. Existing participants in the Pension Plan will, however, continue to earn benefit credit for each year of service after 2007.

Retirement Benefit Restoration Plan

The Internal Revenue Code limits (a) the annual retirement benefit that may be paid under a tax qualified pension plan, such as the Pension Plan, and (b) the earnings that may be used in computing a benefit. The maximum benefit and earnings limitations are adjusted each year to reflect changes in the cost of living. For 2006, the maximum benefit limitation was $170,068 (based on a five-year certain and life annuity payable at age 65) and the earnings limitation was $220,000.

Because of these limitations, we adopted the Tredegar Corporation Retirement Benefit Restoration Plan (or the Restoration Plan) to restore those benefits that cannot be paid under the Pension Plan due to the Internal Revenue Code maximum benefit limitation, the earnings limitation, or both. The Executive Compensation Committee has discretion over which highly-compensated employees can participate in the Restoration Plan. The Executive Compensation Committee can amend, modify or terminate the Restoration Plan at any time and is entitled to revoke or rescind an executive’s designation as a participant in the Restoration Plan.

Messrs. Gottwald and Scher are the only named executive officers who currently participate in the Restoration Plan. The benefit to which they are entitled upon retirement is the amount actually payable under the Pension Plan subtracted from the amount that would have been payable under the Pension Plan if not for the Internal Revenue Code limitations.

In accordance with the provision in the Restoration Plan allowing us to amend, modify or terminate it at any time, effective December 31, 2005, we closed the Restoration Plan to new participants and froze benefit accruals for existing participants.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

The following table presents information concerning the Savings Plan Benefit Restoration Plan for Employees of Tredegar Corporation (or the SPBR Plan), which is a defined contribution plan that provides for the deferral of compensation of the named executive officers on a basis that is not tax qualified.

(1) These amounts represent the sum of the amounts included in Note (6) to the Summary Compensation Table on page 31 of this proxy statement under the columns “Matching Contributions under the Tredegar Corporation Savings Plan Benefit Restoration Plan” and “Dividend on Shares in the Tredegar Corporation Savings Plan Benefit Restoration Plan.”

(2) Mr. Surgner forfeited 20% of the amount credited to his account under the SPBR Plan because he was not fully vested at the time he resigned his employment with us.

(3) Ms. Cummings forfeited 20% of the amount credited to her account under the SPBR Plan because she was not fully vested at the time she resigned her employment with us.

Because of Internal Revenue Code limitations on the matching contributions we are entitled to make on behalf of highly-compensated employees to Tredegar’s Savings Plan, we adopted the SPBR Plan under which we credit the matching contribution we would have been able to make to the Savings Plan, but for the Internal Revenue Code limitations, to an account representing the employee’s interest in the SPBR Plan for each payroll period. Every employee who qualifies as highly-compensated becomes a member of the SPBR Plan as of the date his or her contributions to the Savings Plan are limited by IRS regulations.

Our contributions to the SPBR Plan are converted to phantom shares of Tredegar common stock based on the fair market value at the end of the month in which the contributions are credited. Contributions to the SPBR Plan either match those that could not be made to the Savings Plan because of Internal Revenue Code limitations or are dividends on shares of stock already credited to the participant.

The value of an account at any given time is based upon the fair market value of Tredegar common stock. The fair market value of Tredegar common stock was $12.89 on December 31, 2005 and was $22.61 on December 31, 2006. All named executives, except for Mr. Marshall, participated in the SPBR Plan in 2006. We reserve the right to terminate or amend the SPBR Plan at any time.

A participant in the SPBR Plan becomes 100% vested in his or her benefit under the Plan if he or she retires at or after age 65, dies or separates from employment with us due to a disability. Otherwise, a member’s interest vests incrementally over five years as follows:

	Years of Service		Vested Percentage

	Less than 2		0%
	2 but less than 3		20%
	3 but less than 4		60%
	4 but less than 5		80%
	5 and over		100%

If a participant retires at age 65, dies or separates from employment due to death or a disability, he or she receives a distribution of the total value of his or her benefit under the SPBR Plan on the last day of the month following distribution of benefits under the Savings Plan, subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. A participant who otherwise separates from service receives the value of his or her vested benefit in the SPBR Plan as of the last day of the month during which he or she receives the distribution of his or her vested benefit in the Savings Plan, subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

Other Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control

Equity Incentive Plans

2006 Grants Under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. On March 7, 2006, we granted stock options under the 2004 Plan to the named executive officers, other than Messrs. Gottwald, Scher and Marshall. In addition, in connection with his hiring, Mr. Marshall received stock options and shares of restricted Tredegar common stock under the 2004 Plan. The stock options and shares of restricted Tredegar common stock vest immediately upon the named executive officer’s death, termination of employment due to disability, retirement (provided that the named executive officer has reached 65 years of age) or a change of control of Tredegar.

The 2004 Plan generally provides that a change in control occurs if (1) a person (or a group of persons) becomes the owner of 50% or more of our voting securities, (2) there is a substantial change in the composition of our Board, (3) there is a business combination in which our shareholders own 80% or less of the surviving entity or (4) our shareholders approve a liquidation or dissolution of Tredegar or the sale of all or substantially all of Tredegar’s assets.

The table included below assumes a change in control occurred on December 31, 2006 and provides the value that each named executive officer could have realized from the equity awards he or she held as of December 31, 2006 based on the closing price of shares of Tredegar common stock on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on that date.

(1) Mr. Surgner resigned his employment with us effective August 31, 2006 and forfeited all unvested stock options.

(2) Ms. Cummings resigned her employment with us effective May 4, 2006 and forfeited all unvested stock options.

Restoration Plan

Our Executive Compensation Committee amended the Restoration Plan as of December 31, 2005. As of that date, no new employees may participate in the plan and benefit accruals were stopped for any participant in the Restoration Plan who was not entitled to receive a benefit payment as of December 31, 2005. This change affected Messrs. Gottwald and Scher.

Retirement. Upon retirement, a named executive officer participating in the Restoration Plan will be entitled to a monthly benefit under the Restoration Plan equivalent to the difference between the monthly benefit he or she would have received under the Pension Plan but for the application of the limitations set forth in Internal Revenue Code Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) and the monthly benefit to which he or she is actually entitled under the Pension Plan. We will determine the monthly benefit and begin paying the monthly benefit on the date the named executive officer is scheduled to begin receiving benefits under the Pension Plan, subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The named executive officer will receive the monthly benefit under the Restoration Plan as a single life annuity with five years of benefits guaranteed if the executive is not married on the date benefits are scheduled to begin. Benefits will be paid in the form of a 50% qualified joint and survivor annuity with five years of benefits at the unreduced level guaranteed if the executive is married on the date benefits are scheduled to begin.

Termination (including Termination upon a Change in Control or due to total disability). Mr. Scher is vested in his accrued benefit. When his employment ends, he will be eligible to begin his monthly benefit under the Restoration Plan. Mr. Gottwald will vest in his accrued benefit in the Restoration Plan at the earliest of age 65, termination of employment, total disability or death, provided our Executive Compensation Committee has not removed him from the list of eligible employees.

Death. If Mr. Gottwald or Mr. Scher dies before retirement, his surviving spouse will receive a benefit paid as a 50% qualified joint and survivor annuity, with five years of payments at the unreduced level guaranteed. If Mr. Gottwald or Mr. Scher dies after his benefits commence under the Restoration Plan, his

surviving spouse will receive a benefit paid as a 50% qualified joint and survivor annuity. If the executive has not received five years of payments at the unreduced level at his death, his spouse will receive the remaining guaranteed payments before the benefit is reduced to the 50% level.

The table included below provides information with respect to the monthly benefits we would have had to pay to Messrs. Gottwald and Scher, assuming any of the events described above had occurred on December 31, 2006. Payments under the Restoration Plan will commence on the date of (1) six months after the executive separates from service (the first payment will include any postponed benefits) or (2) the executive’s retirement date under the Pension Plan.

SPBR Plan

Retirement. In the event a named executive officer retires from Tredegar, he or she will be entitled to receive the total value of his or her interest in the SPBR Plan as of the last business day of the month in which his or her benefit under the Savings Plan is distributed, subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

Termination. If the named executive officer’s employment with us ends due to termination, he or she will be entitled to receive the value of his or her vested benefit in the SPBR Plan as of the last business day of the month in which he or she receives his or her vested benefit under the Savings Plan, subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

Disability. If the named executive officer separates from service due to a disability, he or she will be entitled to receive the total value of his or her interest in the SPBR Plan as of the last business day of the month in which his or her benefit under the Savings Plan is distributed, subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

Death. If the named executive officer dies while under our employment, his or her beneficiary will be entitled to receive the total value of his or her interest in the SPBR Plan as of the last business day of the month in which the named executive officer’s benefit under the Savings Plan is distributed, subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

The table included below provides information with respect to the benefits we would have had to pay to the named executive officers assuming any of the events described above had occurred on December 31, 2006.

(1) Under the terms of the SPBR Plan, in the event that any of these events occurred on December 31, 2006, the earliest payment date would be January 31, 2007 and the amount payable would be based on the closing price of Tredegar common stock on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on January 31, 2007, the date of payment. In addition, the SPBR Plan provides that payment for a portion of the shares of Tredegar common stock held in a participant’s account would be withheld for six months and the payment would be based on the closing price of Tredegar common stock on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on the date of payment. The amounts set forth above assume that the total payment was made on December 31, 2006 based on the closing price of Tredegar common stock on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on that date.

(2) Mr. Surgner resigned his employment with us effective August 31, 2006. Under the terms of the SPBR Plan, we provided Mr. Surgner with a payment of $401 for a portion of the shares of Tredegar common stock held in his account. As of December 31, 2006, Mr. Surgner had not received the payment for the remaining shares of Tredegar common stock held in his account. The amounts set forth above assume we made the payment for the remaining shares on December 31, 2006 based on the closing price of Tredegar common stock on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on that date.

(3) Ms. Cummings resigned her employment with Tredegar effective May 4, 2006. The amount set forth above represents the actual total payment we made to Ms. Cummings under the SPBR Plan.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee oversees the quality and integrity of Tredegar’s financial reporting processes and its systems of internal accounting controls. Management is responsible for Tredegar’s financial statements, including its system of internal accounting controls, and the independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of those financial statements and Tredegar’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that has been adopted by Tredegar’s Board.

The Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or PwC), Tredegar’s independent registered public accounting firm, regarding Tredegar’s audited 2006 consolidated financial statements. Management represented to the Audit Committee that Tredegar’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,

and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and PwC.

The Audit Committee has discussed with PwC the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards), as amended. In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC relating to the independence of that firm as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) as may be modified or supplemented, and has discussed with PwC that firm’s independence from Tredegar.

In reliance upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and PwC, and the Audit Committee’s review of the representation of management and the report of PwC to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in Tredegar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Audit Committee:

AUDIT FEES

The following table lists fees our independent registered public accounting firm, PwC, billed to us for services rendered in fiscal years 2005 and 2006.

		2005		2006



Audit Fees	$	1,021,320	$	1,156,132
Audit-Related Fees		-0-		-0-
Tax Fees		-0-		31,968
All Other Fees		1,500		7,544

Total Fees	$	1,022,820	$	1,195,644

Audit Fees include fees PwC billed for services it performed to comply with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, including the recurring audit of our consolidated financial statements and of our internal control over financial reporting. This category also includes fees for audits PwC provided in connection with statutory filings or services that generally only the principal auditor reasonably can provide and assistance with and review of documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Audit-Related Fees include fees associated with audit services not required by statute or regulation.

Tax Fees primarily include fees associated with tax audits and tax compliance, tax consulting, and preparation of tax returns for expatriate employees, as well as domestic and international tax planning and assistance.

All Other Fees include software licensing for online accounting research.

Our Audit Committee has concluded that the provision of the non-audit services listed above as “All Other Fees” is compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence.

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Audit Committee has appointed PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, and has further directed that management submit such appointment of PwC for ratification by the shareholders at the annual meeting. We expect representatives of PwC to be present at the meeting, and they will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Shareholder ratification of our Audit Committee’s appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our By-laws or otherwise. If our shareholders fail to ratify the appointment, our Audit Committee will take such failure into consideration in future years. If our shareholders ratify the appointment, our Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it is determined that such a change would be in the best interests of Tredegar.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee’s Charter provides that our Nominating and Governance Committee will consider director candidate recommendations by our shareholders. Shareholders should submit any such recommendations for our Nominating and Governance Committee through one of the methods described under “Voting Instructions — How do I communicate with the Board of Directors?” on page 3 of this proxy statement. There are no differences in the manner in which our Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates director candidates based on whether shareholders recommend the candidates.

In addition to candidate recommendations, any shareholder of record entitled to vote for the election of directors at the applicable meeting of shareholders may nominate persons for election to the Board so long as that shareholder complies with the requirements set forth in the applicable provisions of our amended and restated By-laws and summarized in “Shareholders’ Proposals” below.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee did not receive any recommendations of director candidates from any shareholder or group of shareholders during 2006; nor were there any shareholder nominations of any person for election as a director.

Sources for New Nominees

Messrs. Donald T. Cowles, John D. Gottwald and Thomas G. Slater, Jr., are current directors standing for reelection. We did not use any third party search firms to assist in identifying potential director candidates during 2006.

**********************************

SHAREHOLDERS’ PROPOSALS

The regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission require any shareholder wishing to make a proposal to be acted upon at the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders to present the proposal to Tredegar at our principal office in Richmond, Virginia, no later than November 29, 2007. We will consider written proposals received by that date for inclusion in our proxy statement in accordance with regulations governing the solicitation of proxies.

Article I, Section 10 of our amended and restated By-laws also require any shareholder wishing to make a proposal to be acted on at an annual meeting to give written notice to our Corporate Secretary not later than 90 days in advance of an annual meeting. The notice must contain:

	•	a brief description of the business to be brought before the annual meeting (including the specific proposal to be presented) and the reasons for addressing it at the annual meeting,

	•	the name, record address, and class and number of shares beneficially owned by the shareholder proposing such business, and

	•	any material interest of the shareholder in such business.

In addition, Article II, Section 5 of our amended and restated By-laws allows any shareholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally to nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if written notice of such shareholder’s intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to our Corporate Secretary not later than:

	•	90 days in advance of an annual meeting, or

	•	with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the seventh day following the date on which notice of a special meeting of shareholders is first given to shareholders.

Each notice shall set forth:

	•	As to the shareholder giving the notice:

•

the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated,

	•	a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of Tredegar stock entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, and

	•	a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) under which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder.

	•	As to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director:

	•	the name and address of the person or persons to be nominated,

	•	such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proxy rules, had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board, and

	•	the consent of each nominee to serve as a director if so elected.

In order for a shareholder to bring other business before a shareholders meeting, we must receive timely notice within the time limits described above. Such notice must include:

	•	the information described above with respect to the shareholder proposing such business,

	•	a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, including the complete text of any resolutions to be presented at the annual meeting, and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, and

	•	any material interest of such shareholder in such business.

These requirements are separate from the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission that a shareholder must meet to have a proposal included in our proxy statement.

The amended and restated By-laws are available on our website at www.tredegar.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. We will also furnish any shareholder a copy of our amended and restated By-laws without charge upon written request to our Corporate Secretary. See “Voting Instructions — How do I communicate with the Board of Directors?” on page 3 of this proxy statement.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms prescribed by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act we received, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons, we believe that all of our Section 16 reporting persons complied with the filing requirements of Section 16(a) as of December 31, 2006.

BENEFICIAL OWNERS

Institutions that hold shares in street name for two or more beneficial owners with the same address are permitted to deliver a single proxy statement and annual report to that address. Any such beneficial owner may request a separate copy of this proxy statement or the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K by contacting our Corporate Secretary in writing at 1100 Boulders Parkway, Richmond, Virginia, 23225 or by telephone at 1-804-330-1144. Beneficial owners with the same address who receive more than one proxy statement and 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K may request delivery of a single proxy statement and 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K by contacting our Corporate Secretary as provided in the preceding sentence.

OTHER MATTERS

Our Board is not aware of any matters to be presented for action at the annual meeting of shareholders other than as described in this proxy statement. However, if any other matters are properly raised at the annual meeting or in any adjournment of the annual meeting, the person or persons voting the proxies will vote them in accordance with their best judgment.

	2.	A director who has received or who has an immediate family member, serving as an executive officer, who has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $100,000 in direct compensation from Tredegar (excluding (A) director and committee fees and pension/other forms of deferred compensation for prior service that is not contingent in any way on continued service and (B) compensation for past service as an interim Chairman, CEO or other executive officer).

	3.	(A) A director who is or whose immediate family member is a current partner of a firm that is Tredegar’s internal or external auditor; (B) a director who is a current employee of such a firm; (C) a director who has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and who participates in the firm’s audit, assurance or tax compliance (but not tax planning) practice; or (D) a director who was or whose immediate family member was within the last three years (but is no longer) a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on Tredegar’s audit within that time.

	4.	A director who is or has been within the last three years, or whose immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of Tredegar’s present executives at the same time serves or served on that company’s compensation committee.

The Board shall also consider a director’s charitable relationships. A director who is an officer, director, or trustee of a charitable or non-profit organization shall not be considered to have a material relationship with Tredegar that impairs the director’s independence so long as Tredegar’s contributions to the entity in any of the last three fiscal years (excluding amounts contributed by Tredegar under its employee matching gift program) are less than $1 million or 2% of such entity’s consolidated gross revenues as reported for the last completed fiscal year (whichever is greater).
