Dear Greg,
As I indicated at the conclusion of the Tredegar Board meeting today, I am greatly disappointed at the lack of process and consultation in response to the recently filed Schedule 13D, including the process followed in adopting the resolution to create a Special Committee of the Board today. Accordingly, I hereby tender my resignation as a Director, effective immediately.
