JACKSONVILLE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (NYSE: RYAM) (the “Company”) announced
today that it has sold its resins business to LRBG Chemicals, a company
to be led by the current resins business management team, for a purchase
price of approximately $16.5 million. The business, with manufacturing
locations in Longueuil, Quebec and Toledo, Ohio, produces chemical
resins used in the manufacturing of oriented strand board (OSB),
hardboard and other engineered wood products. The business was
originally acquired as part of the Company’s acquisition of Tembec in
November of 2017.

petroleum-based chemical asset. Further, it provides our stockholders
with a fair value and incremental cash to be redeployed through our
capital allocation process focused on risk adjusted returns,” said Paul
G. Boynton, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rayonier
Advanced Materials. “I want to personally thank the resins management
team and employees for their dedicated work at Rayonier Advanced
