Rayonier Advanced Materials Celebrates Launch as Independent Company

Stock begins “regular-way” trading on New York Stock Exchange at the Opening Bell today

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 30, 2014 – Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (NYSE:RYAM) today marked its launch as an independent publicly traded specialty chemicals company. The company’s separation from Rayonier occurred at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 27, 2014, by means of a tax-free distribution of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Rayonier Advanced Materials to Rayonier shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 18, 2014. As “regular-way” trading commences, S&P Dow Jones Indices also recently announced the planned inclusion of Rayonier Advanced Materials in the S&P MidCap 400 GICS Specialty Chemicals Sub-Industry index.

“This separation marks another major and exciting milestone in Rayonier’s long history, and we look forward to our promising future as an independent company,” said Paul Boynton, Chairman, President and CEO. “We wish our colleagues at Rayonier well as they begin charting their course as the leading pure-play land resources and real estate company. I’m confident that Rayonier Advanced Materials’ independence will give our new company the freedom to grow and pursue our own strategic objectives for the benefit of our shareholders.”

As an independent company, Rayonier Advanced Materials is the world’s leading producer of high-value, specialty cellulose fibers, with proprietary cellulosic chemistry expertise and manufacturing process knowledge developed over 85 years. The company’s plants in Florida and Georgia manufacture a wide range of customized high purity products using both hardwood and softwood. The company is expected to continue to generate strong cash flows and pay a dividend competitive with other specialty chemical companies. Rayonier Advanced Materials has secured a BB+/Ba2 grade credit rating.
