(b)	Departure of Directors.

On March 3, 2010, Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C. (Boise Cascade) sold all of its remaining shares of Boise Inc. common stock. Prior to this sale, Boise Cascade’s Boise Board Representatives, as that term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement dated February 22, 2008 (the Agreement), among Boise Inc., Boise Cascade (as successor by assignment to Boise Cascade, L.L.C.), and certain individuals referred to in the Agreement as the Aldabra Shareholders, were Stanley R. Bell and W. Thomas Stephens. Following the sale, Boise Cascade no longer has the ability to designate any Boise Board Representatives to our board. Accordingly, Mr. Bell will resign from our board effective April 29, 2010, the date of our 2010 annual shareholders’ meeting. Mr. Stephens, who was to stand for reelection to our board at this year’s annual shareholders’ meeting, will not stand for reelection. The departure of Messrs. Bell and Stephens from our board is not due to a disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies, or practices.
