$350,000,000 five year revolving credit facility, a $650,000,000 five year term loan facility and a $650,000,000 seven year term loan facility. The proceeds of the term loan facilities were available only to complete the acquisition of Boise, to pay
debt of Boise and its subsidiaries and to pay related costs and expenses. In connection with the acquisition of Boise, as further discussed below in Item&nbsp;2.01of this Current Report on Form 8-K, PCA fully drew down the term loan facilities in an
aggregate amount of $1.3 billion at the time of the closing of the Boise acquisition. The New PCA Credit Agreement and the summary thereof and the transactions contemplated thereby were previously filed and disclosed on PCA&#146;s Current Report on

Introduction.
As previously disclosed, on September 16, 2013, Packaging Corporation of America ("
PCA
") entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "
Merger Agreement
") with Boise Inc. ("
Boise
") and Bee Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of PCA ("
Sub
").
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Sub commenced a tender offer on September 26, 2013 (the "
Offer
") to acquire any
and all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "
Shares
"), of Boise at a price of $12.55 in cash, without interest, per Share (the "
Offer Price
"), subject to the terms and
conditions of the Merger Agreement.
The Offer and withdrawal rights expired, as scheduled, at 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on
October 24, 2013. The depositary for the Offer advised PCA and Sub that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of approximately 67,417,789 Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer (including 6,529,831 Shares
delivered through notices of guaranteed delivery), representing approximately 66.8% of Boise's outstanding Shares. Upon expiration of the Offer, Sub accepted for payment (the date and time of such acceptance being, the "
Acceptance
Time
") in accordance with the terms of the Offer all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer (including all Shares delivered through notices of guaranteed delivery).
Item 1.02.
Termination of Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 18, 2013, PCA entered
into a senior unsecured Credit Agreement (the "
New PCA Credit Agreement
") with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and various other lenders providing for a total of $1.65 billion in financing, consisting of a
$350,000,000 five year revolving credit facility, a $650,000,000 five year term loan facility and a $650,000,000 seven year term loan facility. The proceeds of the term loan facilities were available only to complete the acquisition of Boise, to pay
debt of Boise and its subsidiaries and to pay related costs and expenses. In connection with the acquisition of Boise, as further discussed below in Item 2.01of this Current Report on Form 8-K, PCA fully drew down the term loan facilities in an
aggregate amount of $1.3 billion at the time of the closing of the Boise acquisition. The New PCA Credit Agreement and the summary thereof and the transactions contemplated thereby were previously filed and disclosed on PCA's Current Report on
Form 8-K filed on October 22, 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "
SEC
"), which is incorporated by reference herein.
The Credit Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2011 ("
Old Credit Agreement
"), among BZ Intermediate Holdings LLC, as
guarantor, Boise Paper Holdings, L.L.C., as borrower, and a syndicate of lenders including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., individually and as administrative agent, was terminated at the time of the closing of the Boise acquisition. The summary of the
Old Credit Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were previously filed and disclosed on Boise's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 10, 2011 with the SEC, which is incorporated by reference herein. The Old Credit
Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.11 to Boise's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2012 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The information set forth in the Introduction and Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference in
response to this Item 1.02.
Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 25, 2013, following
the consummation of the Offer, Shares not purchased by Sub in the Offer (other than any Shares owned by PCA, Boise or any of their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries and Shares with respect to which appraisal rights have been properly
exercised) were acquired in a cash merger at the Offer Price and Sub merged with and into Boise, with Boise surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of PCA (the "
Merger
"). The Merger was effected in accordance with Section 251(h)
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
As of the Acceptance Time, each compensatory option to purchase Shares (each, a
"
Boise Option
") that was outstanding and unexercised was cancelled, and each holder thereof received cash consideration equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of Shares previously subject to such
Boise Option and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the exercise price per Share previously subject to such Boise Option, less any required withholding taxes. Boise restricted stock units, and performance unit awards were also
cashed out in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
PCA funded the consideration for the Shares, restricted stock units, options and performance unit
awards acquired in the Offer and the Merger through a combination of cash on hand, the net proceeds from a notes offering and the New PCA Credit Agreement.
The Merger Agreement and the summary thereof and the transactions contemplated thereby were previously filed and disclosed on Boise's
Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 17, 2013 with the SEC, which is incorporated by reference herein.
The information set
forth in the Introduction of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 2.01.
Item 3.01.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on October 25, 2013, Boise requested that the New York Stock Exchange (the
"
NYSE
") suspend trading in the Shares and file with the SEC an application on Form 25 in accordance with Rule 12d2-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "
Exchange Act
"), to delist
the Shares as soon as practicable. The NYSE filed such Form 25 with the SEC on October 28, 2013. Boise and BZ Intermediate Holdings LLC ("
BZ
") intend to file Form 15s with the SEC to suspend their reporting obligations under
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as practicable.
