Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

At its meeting on March 1, 2006, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board of Directors of Tredegar Corporation (the “Corporation”) adopted Outside Director Stock Ownership Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) for its outside directors. The Guidelines prescribe stock ownership for the Corporation’s outside directors in an amount equal to at least three times such director’s base annual cash retainer. Directors have three years to satisfy 50% of the requirement and six years to satisfy the full requirement. Similar stock ownership guidelines, approved by the Executive Compensation Committee, apply to the Corporation’s named executive officers and certain other senior managers.

 

A copy of the Guidelines is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
