PDMR Dealing
NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL
RESPONSIBILITIES ("PDMRs") IN SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF PAR VALUE $1.00 EACH
IN THE COMPANY ("Shares")
International Paper Company (NYSE: IP; LSE: IPC), a global leader in
sustainable packaging solutions, announces that on 18 November 2025 and 4
December 2025, the following transactions occurred in relation to the
International Paper Company Salaried Savings Plan (the "SSP") and the
Non-Funded International Paper Company Deferred Compensation Savings Plan (the
"DCSP").
The SSP is a defined contribution retirement savings plan designed for
salaried employees of International Paper Company (the "Company"). Eligible
employees contribute a portion of their salary to the SSP through payroll
deductions that are invested in various options available within the SSP. One
such investment option is the Company Stock Fund where eligible employees may
acquire units of International Paper Company common stock, which may be
payable in shares of common stock in the Company or cash upon retirement or
termination.
The DCSP is an unfunded, nonqualified defined contribution retirement savings
plan for highly compensated employees and senior management. Similar to the
SSP, eligible employees can choose to defer a portion of their salary and
bonuses to be credited to the DCSP. These notional amounts are credited with
gains and losses based on the returns of selected investments, including the
Company Stock Fund. Units allocated to the Company Stock Fund are payable in
cash upon retirement or termination.
The Company announced on 21 August 2025, that it had reached a definitive
agreement to divest its Global Cellulose Fibers business to American
Industrial Partners ("AIP"). In connection with this divestiture, on 18
November 2025, the Company liquidated International Paper common stock held in
the SSP and transitioned the resulting cash value for reinvestment in a new
savings plan. This transition was an administrative step carried out as part
of the broader divestment process and followed established procedures, rather
than any discretionary action by eligible contributing employees in the SSP.
As a consequence of this liquidation and reinvestment, there was a disposition
of units of Shares attributable to Clayton R. Ellis.
In addition, on 4 December 2025, Mr. Ellis acquired additional units in the
DSCP through an automatic payroll contribution.
The notifications set out below are made in accordance with the requirements
