INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
DEREGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK AND RELATED PLAN INTERESTS
RIC Holding, Inc. ("Registrant"), as successor by merger to the
corporation formerly named Riverwood International Corporation ("RIC"), and
the Riverwood International Savings Plan (the "Plan") hereby amend the Form
S-8 Registration Statement, Registration No. 33-81672 (the "Registration
Statement"), by deregistering (1) all shares of RIC's Common Stock, $.01 par
value (the "Common Stock"), previously registered pursuant to the
Registration Statement for issuance under the Plan, and (2) all interests
(the "Interests") in participations in the Plan related to such shares of
Common Stock, previously registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.
In connection with the Merger (as defined herein), all interests of Plan
participants related to the Common Stock were settled for cash, based on the
Merger consideration. Shares of the Common Stock can no longer be sold under
the Plan, and issuances pursuant to the Registration Statement have ceased.
Accordingly, Registrant and the Plan hereby deregister all such shares of
Common Stock and Interests.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
ACQUISITION OF RIC. Registrant is the successor by merger to RIC.
Registrant's parent is Riverwood Holding, Inc. (formerly named New River
Holding, Inc.). Registrant, its parent, and the corporation formerly named CDRO
Acquisition Corporation ("Acquisition Corp."), were organized to effect the
acquisition of RIC. On March 27, 1996, Acquisition Corp. was merged (the
"Merger") into RIC. RIC, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, became
a wholly owned subsidiary of Registrant. On March 28, 1996, RIC was merged into
Registrant, with Registrant being the surviving corporation. As a result of
these transactions, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Registrant
are held of record by one holder, its parent Riverwood Holding, Inc.
DEREGISTRATION OF RIC SECURITIES UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT. On March 29,
1996, Registrant filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a Form 15 for termination of registration under Section 12(g) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and
suspension of duty to file reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, for RIC's Common Stock and RIC's 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2003 (the "Convertible Notes") and RIC's 10 3/4% Senior Notes Due 2000, 10 3/4%
Senior Notes II Due 2000, 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2002, 11 1/4%
Senior Subordinated Notes II Due 2002, and 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due
2004 (collectively, the "Listed Notes").
On April 1, 1996, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE") filed
with the Commission a Form 25 (the "Form 25") for the removal from listing
and registration under the Exchange Act of the Common Stock and the
Convertible Notes. On April 2, 1996, the NYSE filed with the Commission an
application for the removal from listing and registration under the Exchange
Act of each series of the Listed Notes.
