Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (NYSE: RYAM) (“Rayonier Advanced Materials”) and Tembec Inc.

In addition to clearance by the Competition Bureau, the Transaction already has received antitrust clearance from the Anti-Monopoly Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (often referred to as MOFCOM), Germany’s Federal Cartel Office, and the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. As such, Rayonier Advanced Materials and Tembec have now received all required antitrust clearances.

The Transaction has also been approved by Tembec’s shareholders and by the Québec Superior Court.  Subject to obtaining other necessary approvals, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions to the Transaction, it is expected that the Transaction will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017.
