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 Corporation 1992 Long Term Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") hereby amend the Form S-8 Registration Statement, Registration No.
33-59194 (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.
