RYAM Announces Expiration of Cash Tender Offer for Any and All of Rayonier A.M. Products’ 7.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026

Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (NYSE: RYAM) (the “Company” or “RYAM”), the global leader in High Purity Cellulose, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rayonier A.M. Products Inc. (the “Issuer”), announced today that the previously-announced cash tender offer by the Issuer to purchase any and all of the Issuer’s outstanding 7.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “notes”) expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 4, 2024 (such time and date, the “Expiration Date”), pursuant to the terms of the offer to purchase, dated as of October 29, 2024 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the notice of guaranteed delivery attached thereto (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery”). As of the Expiration Date, according to information provided by the information and tender agent for the tender offer, $135,486,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, representing 29.93% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding, which does not include $143,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes for which a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery was timely delivered and that remain subject to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Withdrawal rights for the tender offer expired at the Expiration Date, and accordingly, notes validly tendered in the tender offer may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

The Issuer expects to accept for payment all notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offer, including any notes that are timely and validly tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures, and expects to make payment for such notes on November 7, 2024. Consummation of the tender offer remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

As previously disclosed, the Issuer intends to legally defease all of its obligations under the outstanding notes that are not validly tendered and purchased in the tender offer pursuant to the terms of the indenture for such notes.

Persons with questions regarding the tender offer should contact the sole dealer manager for the tender offer, Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc., by telephone at (888) 613-7288 (toll-free) or at (212) 497-7864.
