which was approved by shareholders at Special Meetings held on
April 30, 1999. Union Camp shareowners will receive 1.4852
International Paper common shares for each Union Camp share
held. The exchange ratio was determined by taking the average
price per International Paper common share, which was calculated

20-trading day period prior to the merger. The total value of
the merger is estimated at $7.9 billion including assumption of
debt.

(a) Financial Statements:
The financial statements of Union Camp Corporation filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 1999 on Form
10K are hereby incorporated by reference.
<PAGE>
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information:
The following selected unaudited pro forma combined financial
data gives effect to the merger. The unaudited pro forma
combined statement of earnings data for the three years ended
December 31, 1998 was prepared based upon International Paper's
audited consolidated financial statements for the three years
ended December 31, 1998 and Union Camp's audited consolidated
financial statements for the three years ended December 31,
1998, as if the merger had occurred at the beginning of each of
the three years. The selected unaudited pro forma combined
balance sheet data was prepared based upon the audited balance
sheet data of International Paper at December 31, 1998 and Union
Camp at December 31, 1998, giving effect to the merger. The pro
forma adjustments are based upon the "pooling of interests"
method of accounting, available information and particular
assumptions that International Paper and Union Camp believe to
be reasonable.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements of International Paper and Union
Camp, and the related notes thereto, that are incorporated by
reference or included elsewhere in this document.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are
provided for informational purposes only in response to SEC
requirements and do not purport to represent what International
Paper's financial position or results of operations would
actually have been if the merger had in fact occurred at such
dates or to project International Paper's financial position or
results of operations for any future date or period.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
The following is a summary of reclassifications and adjustments
reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Statements.
(a) Represents the elimination of intercompany transactions between
Union Camp and International Paper.
(b) Represents the reclassification of items in Union Camp's financial
statements to conform with International Paper's financial reporting
presentation, including the reclassifications of cost of timber
harvested and other (income) expense, net, to cost of products sold;
distribution expenses and taxes other than payroll and income taxes to
separate cost and expense line items; and sales with containerboard
trading partners from an offset in costs of goods sold to net sales.
(c) Represents the elimination of intercompany balances between Union
Camp and International Paper.
(d) Represents the elimination of intercompany profit on sales between
International Paper and Union Camp. The intercompany profit elimination
in each year was approximated by multiplying the change in intercompany
inventory balances on hand at both Union Camp and International Paper by
the average margin on such sales.
(e) Represents the reclassification of items in Union Camp's financial
statements to conform with International Paper's financial reporting
presentation, including the reclassification of investments, goodwill
and minority interest to separate balance sheet line items.
(f) Represents the balance sheet effect of the exchange of Union Camp
common shares for International Paper common shares.
(g) The companies expect merger-related costs to be just under $50
million. The combined Company will charge these costs to earnings in the
period in which the merger is consummated. The companies have reflected
these costs in the December 31, 1998 Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Balance Sheet.
