  Also on February 7, 2000, the Company issued the following press release:

              Shorewood Comments On Delaware Court Decision

NEW YORK, Feb. 7/PRNewswire/--Shorewood Packaging Corporation (NYSE: SWD-news)
today issued the following comments regarding the Delaware Chancery Court's
decision today rejecting Shorewood's contention that Chesapeake Corporation
(NYSE: CSK - news) is an "interested stockholder" and disallowing Shorewood's
super-majority bylaw.

Marc P. Shore, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We strongly
disagree with the Court's decision and will consider an appeal. It remains
clear to us that Chesapeake's goal is to acquire Shorewood at the lowest price
possible - currently an inadequate price. In the face of Chesapeake's coercive
efforts, the Board has been actively evaluating strategic alternatives to
enhance value for all Shorewood shareholders. As part of this process, we've
had meaningful discussions with interested parties about alternatives that
would create value significantly in excess of Chesapeake's inadequate offer.
While we are moving quickly forward with this process, there can be no
assurance that a transaction will occur."

Mr. Shore continued, "We strongly urge that Shorewood shareholders do not
tender their shares into Chesapeake's inadequate offer and instead support the
value-enhancing efforts of Shorewood's Board in the upcoming consent
solicitation. Electing Chesapeake's hand-picked slate of directors, none of
whom are currently employed running a business of any kind, would ensure that
Shorewood stockholders receive less than fair value for their shares."

Shorewood's Special Strategic Committee of Independent Directors recently
engaged Greenhill & Co., LLC as its financial advisor to assist in the process
of exploring and evaluating strategic alternatives which could enhance value.
In December 1999, Shorewood's Board of Directors voted unanimously to
recommend that stockholders reject the unsolicited $17.25 per share tender
offer by Chesapeake and not tender any of their shares pursuant to the offer.

Shorewood Packaging Corporation is a leading value-added provider of high
quality printing and paperboard packaging for the computer software, cosmetics
and toiletries, food, home video, music, tobacco and general consumer markets
in North America and China, with 16 plants in the United States, Canada and
China.

Certain statements included in this press release constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 (the "Act"). While the safe harbors intended to be created by the Act
are not available to statements made in connection with a tender offer, it has
not been judicially determined whether such safe harbor provisions apply to
forward-looking statements made in connection with a consent solicitation
conducted in connection with a tender offer. However, the consent solicitation
by Chesapeake Corporation is intended to facilitate its tender offer, and the
statements made herein may be deemed to have been made in connection with such
tender offer. Accordingly, such statements may not be covered by the safe
harbor provisions of the Act. Any forward-looking statements made herein are
only predictions, subject to risks and uncertainties that exist in the
business environment which could render actual outcomes and results materially
different from those expressed in such statements, including, but not limited
to, general economic and business conditions, competition, political changes
in international markets, raw material and other operating costs; costs of
capital equipment, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in
business strategy or expansion plans, the results of continuing environmental
compliance testing and monitoring; quality of management; availability, terms
and development of capital, fluctuating interest rates and other factors
referenced in this release and in Shorewood's annual report on Form 10-K and
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

THIS PRESS RELEASE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION TO REVOKE CONSENTS IN
CONNECTION WITH THE CONSENT SOLICITATION OF CHESAPEAKE CORPORATION. ANY SUCH
SOLICITATION WILL BE MADE ONLY BY MEANS OF SEPARATE CONSENT SOLICITATION
MATERIALS COMPLYING THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 14(A) OF THE SECURITIES
EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED
THEREUNDER.
