Atlanta, Georgia, USA, 10 November 2011 -- Georgia-Pacific LLC announced today that it has received a binding offer from SCA to acquire the Georgia-Pacific EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) business. Acceptance of this offer is subject to consultations with works councils where appropriate and to customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearances from competition authorities. The offered price is EUR 1.32 billion (USD 1.8 billion).

The proposed transaction includes Georgia-Pacific’s consumer and away-from-home tissue paper products and personal care businesses and manufacturing assets across Europe, including leading consumer brands as well as away-from-home and private label products developed, manufactured, marketed and sold by 5000 employees. In the proposed transaction, SCA has agreed to hire all current Georgia-Pacific EMEA employees.
