Item 1.01
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On April 29, 2010, our shareholders approved amendments to the Boise Inc. Incentive and Performance Plan (the Plan), which (i) expanded the list
of available performance measures, (ii) clarified how shares withheld to pay the exercise price of an award or withholding taxes are administered, and (iii) established a bonus pool for annual incentive awards under the Plan.
The above summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Plan filed as Exhibit
99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
|
In our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2010, we reported that Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C.
(Boise Cascade) sold all of its remaining shares of Boise Inc. common stock on March 3, 2010. Following that sale, Boise Cascade was no longer entitled to designate any Boise Board Representatives, as that term is defined in the Investor Rights
Agreement dated February 22, 2008 (the Agreement), to our board of directors. Accordingly, Stanley R. Bell resigned from our board effective April 29, 2010, the date of our 2010 annual shareholders meeting, and W. Thomas Stephens,
who was to stand for reelection at our 2010 annual shareholders meeting, did not stand for reelection.
With the departure of Messrs.
Bell and Stephens, our board of directors has been reduced from nine members to seven members. As a result, the number of designees the Aldabra Majority Holders, as that term is defined in the Agreement, are entitled to designate to our board has
been reduced to one. Jason G. Weiss will continue to represent the Aldabra Majority Holders. Nathan D. Leight will no longer represent the Aldabra Majority Holders but will remain on our board as an independent director.
