As a participant in the Company sponsored 401(k) plan, you own
shares of Temple-Inland Inc. common stock. You should have
recently received the proxy notifying you of the annual
shareholders meeting to be held on May 7, and asking you to
return a signed proxy voting on proposals to be presented at the
annual meeting.
As a shareholder of the Company, it is important that you vote
and be represented at the meeting. If you have not done so,
please vote your shares and return the signed proxy. We
encourage you to vote in the manner recommended by the Temple-
Inland Board of Directors FOR proposals 1, 2 and 3, and AGAINST
proposal 4, a shareholder proposal from a representative of LENS
recommending hiring an investment banker to explore various
strategies, a number of which could lead to disposition of
assets, restructuring the Company, or liquidation of a
substantial portion of the Company.
If for some reason you have not received a proxy card or if you
have misplaced the original mailed to you, please contact Mary
Cavanaugh at (409) 829-1306 for a replacement.
Thank you for your vote and support of Temple-Inland.
