Employee Benefits Administrative Committee
Tredegar Corporation Retirement Savings Plan
Richmond, Virginia
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Tredegar Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2016, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but includes supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

TREDEGAR CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2016 and 2015
 
NOTE 1.
DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

General
 
Tredegar Corporation (Tredegar), which is engaged directly in the manufacturing of plastic films and aluminum extrusions, is a Virginia corporation.  The Tredegar Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (Plan) was adopted by the Board of Directors of Tredegar on June 14, 1989 and the Plan was effective as of July 1, 1989.

Effective June 19, 2015 AACOA, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan merged into the Tredegar Corporation Retirement Savings Plan. AACOA, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of William L. Bonnell Company, Inc. which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tredegar Corporation.

The Plan is subject to Titles I, II and III and is exempt from Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Title IV of ERISA provides for federally sponsored insurance for plans that terminate with unfunded benefits.  No such insurance is provided to participants in this Plan; however, because the benefits that participants are entitled to receive are always equal to the value of their account balances, the Plan is always fully funded.  The value of a participant's account may change from time to time.  Each participant assumes the risk of fluctuations in the value of his or her account.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan.  Information regarding plan benefits and vesting is provided in the Plan and related documents, which are available at Tredegar’s main office at 1100 Boulders Parkway, Richmond, Virginia.

The Plan is administered by the Company. Plan assets were held in trust by Matrix Trust Company for the period from January 1, 2015 through March 21, 2016. Effective March 21, 2016, Plan assets were transferred to Great-West Trust Company, LLC, the new trustee of the Plan.

NOTE 2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting
 
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2016 and 2015
 
NOTE 2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

Basis of Accounting (Continued)
 
Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
 
Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 5 for discussion of fair value measurements.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

Notes Receivable from Participants
 
Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2016 or 2015. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

 Payment of Benefits
 
Benefits are recorded when paid or when payment has been attempted.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

Administrative Expenses
 
The Plan is responsible for all trustee and investment management fees.  Tredegar pays for all other administrative expenses up to an annual limit of $75,000.  Any expenses in excess of this limit are paid by the Plan.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-12, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): (Part I) Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts, (Part II) Plan Investment Disclosures, (Part III) Measurement Date Practical Expedient (consensuses of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in Part I of this ASU designate contract value as the only required measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. This amendment maintains the relevant information while reducing the cost and complexity of reporting for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts (for example, an adjustment to reconcile contract value to fair value). Plan Management has adopted Part I of this update as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. Prior year amounts and disclosures have been revised to reflect the retrospective application of adopting this new update.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued their converged standard on revenue recognition. The revised revenue standard contains principles that an entity will apply to direct the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that the recognition of revenue should depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve that core principle, an entity will utilize a principle-based five-step approach model. The converged standard also includes more robust disclosure requirements which will require entities to provide sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In March 2015, amended guidance was issued regarding clarifying the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The effective date of this revised standard is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period. The converged standard can be adopted either retrospectively or through the use of a practical expedient. The Plan is still assessing the impact of this new guidance.

NOTE 3.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS

A participant may contribute a percentage of his or her base pay (as defined) ranging from a minimum of .1% (one-tenth of one percent) to 75%.  With the exception of certain collectively bargained plans, the 2016 and 2015 company matching contribution was $1.00 for every $1.00 a participant contributes up to 5% each payroll period.

With the exception of certain participants covered under certain collective bargaining agreements, employees are automatically enrolled in the retirement savings plan at a 3% contribution level unless they choose to contribute more or less.  Effective January 1, 2011, participants with contribution levels of less than 5% of base pay will have pre-tax contributions increased by 1% in January of each succeeding plan year until the contribution level is equal to 5% of base pay. The default investment fund is the age appropriate target fund.

Effective January 1, 2016, bargaining unit employees at the Terre Haute, Indiana location may submit a Roth election to designate that the employee’s unpaid base salary for a payroll period be deferred to their account as Roth contributions in an amount up to the maximum percentage as set forth in the Plan document.

Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan.  The Plan currently offers twenty-three (23) mutual funds, Tredegar stock, one (1) common collective trust and a self-directed brokerage window as investment options to participants.

Effective March 11, 2016, all employer matching contributions were allocated 50% to the JPMorgan SmartRetirement target date fund and 50% to an investment selection made by the participant. For 2015 through March 10, 2016 all employer matching contributions were allocated 50% to the Tredegar Stock fund and 50% to an investment selection made by the participant.  If a participant did not make an investment selection, this money was invested in the JP Morgan SmartRetirement target date fund, the Plan’s default funds, based on the participant’s age and an estimated retirement age of 65.  Also effective March 11, 2016, Tredegar Company Stock was closed to investments, transfers into the fund, and company matching contributions. All eligible participants in the Plan are able to immediately diversify their company matching contribution by transferring out of Tredegar company stock into another fund or a combination of funds offered in the Plan.

NOTE 5.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurement, provides the framework for measuring fair value.  That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:

Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
 
·
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
·
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
·
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
·
inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Mutual funds:  Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value (NAV) and to transact at that price.  The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.

Common stock: Valued at closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

NOTE 5.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, Continued

Interest-bearing cash: Valued at $1.

Self-directed brokerage account: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Common/collective trusts: A fund that is composed primarily of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts that is valued at the NAV of units of a bank collective trust. The NAV, as provided by the trustee, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the funds less its liabilities. This practical expedient is not used when it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different than the reported NAV.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The following tables summarize financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively:

FORFEITURES

Employees who leave Tredegar before becoming fully vested in Tredegar contributions forfeit the value of the nonvested portion of the Tredegar contribution account.  At December 31, 2016 and 2015, forfeited nonvested accounts available to reduce employer contributions totaled $21,119 and $43,383, respectively.  These accounts will be used to reduce future employer contributions.  In 2016 and 2015, employer contributions were reduced by $8,446 and $43,383, respectively, from forfeited nonvested accounts.

NOTE 7.
RELATED PARTY AND PARTY IN INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by JP Morgan.  JP Morgan is the custodian as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Certain fees incurred by the Plan for the investment management services are included in net appreciation in fair value of the investment, as they are paid through revenue sharing, rather than a direct payment.

Certain Plan investments are shares of stock in Tredegar Corporation.  Tredegar Corporation is the plan sponsor as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as related party transactions.

The Plan received its latest determination letter on August 15, 2013, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).  The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.  However, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits in progress for any periods.

NOTE 9.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
