Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On June 11, 1998, in a series of related transactions, Bon L Canada
Inc., a Canadian corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tredegar
Industries, Inc. ("Tredegar") acquired Exal Aluminum Inc. ("Exal"), a Canadian
corporation engaged in the manufacture of aluminum extrusions and the casting of
aluminum billet. Exal and Bon L Canada Inc. have been amalgamated and the
amalgamated entity, operating as Bon L Canada Inc. ("Bon L Canada"), will
continue in the aluminum extrusions business. In connection with the acquisition
and amalgamation, the Exal shareholders received, in the aggregate, cash in the
amount of USD$11.9 million and 126,724 shares of Class I non-voting preferred
shares of Bon L Canada (the "Class I Shares"). The Class I Shares are
exchangeable into shares of Tredegar common stock on a one-for-one basis. Each
Class I Share is economically equivalent to one share of Tredegar common stock.
Shares of Tredegar common stock to be delivered upon the exchange of the Class I
Shares will be newly-issued shares. In addition, immediately following the
transaction, the outstanding indebtedness of Exal was repaid by Bon L Canada in
