(1)  On November 26, 1999, Chesapeake Corporation entered into a stock purchase
     agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Ariel Capital Management, Inc.,
     an investment advisor with discretionary authority over its client's shares
     of Shorewood Packaging Corporation, pursuant to which Chesapeake agreed to
     purchase 4.1 million shares (the "Purchased Shares") of common stock of
     Shorewood, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement,
     and Ariel agreed that, if Chesapeake commenced a public tender offer for
     Shares prior to the closing of the Purchase Agreement, Ariel would use its
     best efforts to exercise its discretionary authority to cause its clients
     to tender such Purchased Shares in such tender offer and execute any
     proxies or written consents with respect to such Purchased Shares in the
     form solicited by Chesapeake in any proxy or written consent solicitation
     commenced in connection with such tender offer. With respect to the
     Purchased Shares, Chesapeake and Ariel may be deemed to be a "group" as
     such term is defined in Rule 13d-5 promulgated under the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; however, Chesapeake does not affirm the
     existence of, and disclaims membership in, a group with Ariel. The Purchase
     Agreement expressly provides that Ariel and its clients have reserved all
     of their respective rights with respect to, and have no agreement,
     arrangement or understanding with Chesapeake relating to, any Shares of
     Shorewood other than the Purchased Shares.

                          [CHESAPEAKE CORPORATION LOGO]


                 CHESAPEAKE ISSUES STATEMENT REGARDING SHOREWOOD

Richmond, VA--February 17, 2000--Chesapeake Corporation (NYSE: CSK) today
announced that it will permit its tender offer for Shorewood Packaging
Corporation (NYSE: SWD) to expire at midnight, New York City time, on February
18, 2000 in accordance with its terms. Chesapeake has advised Shorewood that it
is withdrawing its request for a record date in connection with a solicitation
of Shorewood's stockholders. Chesapeake also noted that it reserves its right to
resume its efforts to acquire Shorewood should circumstances warrant.

Thomas H. Johnson, president and chief executive officer of Chesapeake
Corporation, said, "Chesapeake is a disciplined buyer and will only pursue
acquisitions at prices that make sense for Chesapeake's shareholders. We will
continue to pursue our strategic plan of redeploying capital to further
Chesapeake's growth and enhance shareholder value."

Chesapeake Corporation, headquartered in Richmond, Va., is a global leader in
specialty packaging and merchandising services. Chesapeake is the largest North
American producer of temporary and permanent point-of-purchase displays, the
North American leader for litho-laminated packaging, the leading European
folding carton, leaflet and label supplier, and a local leader in specific U.S.
markets for customized, corrugated packaging. Chesapeake has over 40 locations
in North America, Europe and Asia. Chesapeake's net sales in 1999 were $1.2
billion. Chesapeake's website is www.cskcorp.com.

This news release may contain forward-looking statements that are made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. While the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 are not applicable to forward-looking statements made in
connection with a tender offer, it has not been judicially determined whether
such safe harbor provisions apply to forward-looking statements in a consent
solicitation conducted in connection with a tender offer. The accuracy of such
forward-looking statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and
assumptions that may cause Chesapeake's actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in the forward-looking statements including, but not limited to:
competitive products and pricing; production costs, particularly for raw
materials such as corrugated box, folding carton and display materials;
fluctuations in demand; government policies and regulations affecting the
environment; interest rates; currency translation movements; and other risks
that are detailed from time to time in reports filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

                  CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING PARTICIPANTS

subsidiary of Chesapeake ("Purchaser"), and certain other persons named below
