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 5, 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 and 2, and AGAINST proposal 3, a
shareholder proposal from a representative of LENS recommending a
spin off of the Company's financial services businesses.
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 (936) 829-1314 for a replacement.
Thank you for your vote and support of Temple-Inland.
