Resolute’s Remi G. Lalonde, President and Chief Executive Officer; Sylvain A.

Messrs. Lalonde and Girard and Ms. Leclaire will receive change-in-control payments and benefits pursuant to their respective agreements with Resolute.

“I am very proud of the work the team has done since I took over as President and CEO, and deeply honored to have had the privilege to serve as their leader. Now that Resolute is part of a private company, the time is right for me to pass along to the individual business unit leaders more of the responsibilities to manage their businesses and take their performance to the next level in the Paper Excellence family. I would also like to express my appreciation for the outstanding contributions of Sylvain and Stephanie who have played an instrumental role in Resolute’s transformation,” stated Mr. Lalonde.

“Resolute and all its wonderful people, past and present, will always have a very special place in my heart, as I deeply cherish the memories from 14 years together. I am extremely grateful for everything the company has done for me, and I sincerely wish Paper Excellence and its leaders nothing but the best with our amazing people and great assets. This industry, particularly in Canada, can benefit from a strategic investor with a generational vision like Paper Excellence, willing to support it by deploying capital to unlock fully its true potential, and they have made that intention clear. This is good for Resolute’s employees, our mills, and our communities,” added Mr.┬áLalonde.

“We express our deep gratitude to Remi for his outstanding leadership and transformative achievements, which have made Resolute a stronger, more dynamic, and competitive organization. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to build on the outstanding foundation that he and his team have established for the business,” remarked Mr. Williams. “On a personal level and on behalf of the Paper Excellence management board, we wish Remi, Sylvain, and Stephanie great success in the next chapters of their careers.”
