FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TREDEGAR COMPLETES SELF-TENDER OFFER
RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 7, 1994 -- Tredegar Industries Inc. (NYSE:TG) announced
that, based on a preliminary count, it expects to purchase 1,211,857 shares of
its common stock at a price of $18.25 per share, in accordance with the terms of
its "Dutch auction" self-tender offer. The offer expired Wednesday, Oct. 6, at 5
p.m., EST. After purchasing the tendered shares, Tredegar will have 9,381,032
shares of common stock outstanding.
Under a standing authorization from its board of directors, Tredegar may
purchase an additional 1.8 million shares on the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions at prices management deems appropriate.
Tredegar originally offered to purchase up to one million of its shares at
prices, specified by shareholders, ranging from $17 to $19 per share. Because
more than one million shares were tendered, the company elected to increase the
number of shares that it will accept for purchase to 1,211,857, the maximum
permitted without requiring an extension of the offer.
The preliminary count by American Stock Transfer & Trust, the depositary
for the offer, indicated that a total of 2,862,463 shares were tendered and not
withdrawn. Of that amount, 1,245,260 shares were tendered at or below the $18.25
per share purchase price. As a result of the oversubscription, the number of
shares actually purchased from each tendering shareholder will be prorated. The
preliminary proration factor is 93.9 percent.
The determination of the actual purchase price for the common stock and the
actual proration factor is subject to final confirmation of the proper delivery
of all shares tendered and not withdrawn. Payment for the shares properly
tendered and accepted will be made as soon as practicable. All shares tendered
and not purchased by the company will be returned promptly to shareholders.
The dealer manager for the offer was Goldman, Sachs & Co. and the
information agent was Georgeson & Co.
Tredegar Industries is a diversified manufacturer of plastics and metal
products.
