About this prospectus

This prospectus is part of an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

As allowed by the SEC rules, this prospectus does not contain all of the information included in the registration statement. For further information, we refer you to the registration statement, including its exhibits.

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement, any free writing prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. We have not, and the underwriters named in any prospectus supplement have not, authorized anyone to provide you with different information.

You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or any document incorporated by reference is accurate as of any date other than the date of the applicable document. Neither the delivery of this prospectus and any prospectus supplement nor any distribution of securities pursuant to this prospectus shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the information set forth or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or in our affairs since the date of this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with the additional information described under the heading “Where you can find more information.” Information in any prospectus supplement or incorporated by reference after the date of this prospectus is considered a part of this prospectus and may add, update or change information contained in this prospectus.

Forward-looking statements

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement may contain or incorporate by reference certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act. These statements include statements relating to trends in, or representing management’s beliefs about, Domtar’s future growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities. These forward-looking statements are generally denoted by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “aim,” “target,” “plan,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur, or if any occurs, what effect they will have on Domtar’s results of operations or financial condition.

These factors include, but are not limited to:

 

  continued decline in usage of fine paper products in our core North American market;

 

  our ability to implement our business diversification initiatives, including strategic acquisitions;

 

  product selling prices;

 

  raw material prices, including wood fiber, chemical and energy;

 

  conditions in the global capital and credit markets, and the economy generally, particularly in the United States, Canada and Europe;

 

  performance of Domtar’s manufacturing operations, including unexpected maintenance requirements;

 

  the level of competition from domestic and foreign producers;

 

  the effect of, or change in, forestry, land use, environmental and other governmental regulations (including taxation), and accounting regulations;

 

  the effect of weather and the risk of loss from fires, floods, windstorms, hurricanes and other natural disasters;

 

  transportation costs;

 

  the loss of current customers or the inability to obtain new customers;

 

  legal proceedings;

 

  changes in asset valuations, including impairment of property, plant and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or other assets for impairment or other reasons;

 

2


Table of Contents
  changes in currency rates, particularly the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar, the Euro and other European currencies;

 

  the effect of timing of retirements and changes in the market price of Domtar’s common stock on charges for stock-based compensation; and

 

  performance of pension fund investments and related derivatives, if any.

The foregoing factors are not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that could impact our business. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future performance or results. Unless specifically required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise. You should consider these risks when reading any forward-looking statements and review carefully the section captioned “Risk Factors” in any accompanying prospectus supplement and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and/or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q incorporated by reference herein for a more complete discussion of the risks of an investment in our securities.

Description of the debt securities

General

We may issue unsecured senior and subordinated debt securities in one or more series. Senior debt securities will be issued under an indenture (as previously amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), dated November 19, 2007, among Domtar, Domtar Paper Company, LLC, The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”) and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) party thereto. Subordinated debt securities will be issued pursuant to a subordinated indenture. We will describe the material terms and provisions of any subordinated debt securities to be offered and the subordinated indenture in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Senior debt securities

The following description is a summary of the terms and provisions of the senior debt securities and the Indenture. It summarizes only those portions of the Indenture which we believe will be most important to your decision to invest in our senior debt securities. You should keep in mind, however, that it is the Indenture, and not this summary, which defines your rights as a holder of the senior debt securities. There may be other provisions in the Indenture which are also important to you. You should read the Indenture for a full description of the terms of the senior debt securities. A copy of the Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus. See “Where you can find more information” for information on how to obtain copies of the Indenture.

We may from time to time without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of the senior debt securities, create and issue additional senior debt securities under the Indenture, equal in rank to the existing senior debt securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the new senior debt securities, or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of the new senior debt securities) so that the new senior debt securities may be consolidated and form a single series with existing senior debt securities and have the same terms as to status, redemption and otherwise as existing senior debt securities.

The senior debt securities are unsecured obligations

The senior debt securities will be our general unsecured senior obligations and will rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The senior debt securities will be senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated indebtedness and will be effectively subordinated to all of our future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such secured indebtedness.

Subsidiary guarantees

Each of our direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) that guarantees our indebtedness or that of any of our subsidiaries under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended and supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of August 18, 2016 among us and certain of our subsidiaries as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders and agents party thereto or our indebtedness under the Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”), dated as of July 20, 2015, among us, Domtar Paper

 

7


Table of Contents

Company, LLC, as borrower, CoBank, ACB as administrative agent and the lenders and agents party thereto, as amended on August 18, 2016, will, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee the senior debt securities. The Subsidiary Guarantors will agree to pay, in addition to the obligations under the senior debt securities and the Indenture, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the holders in enforcing any rights under the subsidiary guarantees.

The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the subsidiary guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantors, including their guarantees in respect of indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement, and will be effectively subordinated to all of such Subsidiary Guarantors’ future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured indebtedness.

Terms of the senior debt securities

We may issue the senior debt securities in one or more series through a supplemental indenture that supplements the Indenture or through a resolution of our board of directors or an authorized committee of our board of directors.

You should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for the specific terms of the senior debt securities. These terms may include the following:

 

  title of the series;

 

  total principal amount of the series;

 

  maturity date or dates;

 

  interest rate and interest payment dates;

 

  any redemption dates, prices, obligations and restrictions;

 

  any provisions permitting the senior debt securities to be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any class or classes of our stock, or our other securities or property, at a specified price or prices or at specified rates of exchange and with any adjustments; and

 

  any other terms of the series.

Form and exchange

The senior debt securities will normally be denominated in U.S. dollars, in which case we will pay principal, interest and any premium in U.S. dollars. We may, however, denominate any series of senior debt securities in another currency or composite currency. In those cases, payment of principal, interest and any premium would be in that currency or composite currency and not U.S. dollars.

Book-entry only form

The senior debt securities will normally be issued in book-entry only form, which means that they will be represented by one or more permanent global certificates registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, which we refer to as “DTC,” or its nominee. We refer to this form here and in any prospectus supplement as “book-entry only.”

 

8


Table of Contents

In the event that senior debt securities are issued in book-entry only form, DTC will keep a computerized record of its participants (for example, your broker) whose clients have purchased the senior debt securities. The participant will then keep a record of its clients who purchased the senior debt securities. A global security may not be transferred, except that DTC, its nominees and their successors may transfer an entire global security to one another.

In the case of book-entry only, we will wire principal and interest payments to DTC’s nominee. In accordance with the Indenture, we and the Trustee will treat DTC’s nominee as the owner of the global securities for all purposes. Accordingly, neither we nor the Trustee will have any direct responsibility or liability to pay amounts due on the senior debt securities to owners of beneficial interests in the global securities.

Under book-entry only, we will not issue certificates to individual holders of the senior debt securities. Beneficial interests in global securities will be shown on, and transfers of global securities will be made only through, records maintained by DTC and its participants.

Senior debt securities represented by a global security will be exchangeable for senior debt securities certificates with the same terms in authorized denominations if DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by us within 90 days. DTC may surrender a global security in exchange, in whole or in part, for senior debt securities certificates on such terms as are acceptable to us, the Trustee and DTC. We may, in our sole discretion, determine that one or more global securities shall no longer be represented by such global securities. In such event, the Trustee, upon receipt of a company order for the delivery of senior debt securities certificates, will authenticate and make such senior debt securities certificates available.

Certificated form

Alternatively, we may issue the senior debt securities in certificated form registered in the name of the holder of the senior debt security. Under these circumstances, holders may receive certificates representing the senior debt securities. Senior debt securities in certificated form will be transferable without charge except for reimbursement of taxes, if any. We will refer to this form in the prospectus supplement as “certificated.”

Redemption provisions, sinking fund and defeasance

We may redeem some or all of the senior debt securities at our option subject to the conditions stated in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of senior debt securities. If a series of senior debt securities is subject to a sinking fund, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe those terms.

We may discharge or defease certain of our obligations on any series of senior debt securities at any time. We may defease by depositing with the Trustee sufficient cash or government securities to pay all sums due on that series of senior debt securities.

Limitations on liens

The Indenture provides that, with certain exceptions, neither we nor any of our restricted subsidiaries may create, issue, assume or otherwise have outstanding any mortgage upon any principal property belonging to us or to any of our restricted subsidiaries or upon the shares of capital stock or debt of any of our restricted subsidiaries, whether such principal property, shares or debt are owned by us or our restricted subsidiaries on the date of the Indenture or acquired in the future, to secure any debt of

Table of Contents

ours or any of our restricted subsidiaries, unless the senior debt securities, and if we so elect, any of our other indebtedness ranking at least pari passu with the senior debt securities, shall be secured by a mortgage equally and ratably with or in priority to the new secured debt so long as such debt shall be so secured.

Limitation on sale and leaseback transactions

The Indenture restricts, with certain exceptions, transactions involving the sale and leaseback by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries with any person (other than us or a restricted subsidiary) providing for the leasing by us or any restricted subsidiary of any of our or their principal property or any property which together with any other property subject to the same transaction or series of related transactions would in the aggregate constitute a principal property, whether such principal property is owned by us or our restricted subsidiaries on the date of the Indenture or acquired in the future.

Changes to the Indenture

The Indenture may be changed with the consent of holders owning not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding senior debt securities of each series affected by the change. However, we may not, among other things, change the maturity or interest payment dates of any senior debt security or reduce the principal, rate of interest, any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or the percentage required to change other terms of the Indenture without the consent of the holder of such senior debt security.

We may enter into supplemental indentures for other specified purposes, including the creation of any new series of senior debt securities without the consent of any holder of senior debt securities.

Consolidation, merger or sale

We may not consolidate with or merge with or into another company or convey, transfer or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another company, and we will not permit any company to consolidate with or merge with or into us, unless:

 

  we will be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation, or, if we consolidate with or merge into another company or convey or transfer or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any company, the successor company will be an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and the successor entity will expressly assume our obligations relating to the senior debt securities;

 

  if we will not be the surviving company, each Subsidiary Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions above) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its subsidiary guarantee shall apply to such successor company’s obligations in respect of the Indenture and the senior debt securities;

 

  immediately after giving effect to the consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, there will exist no default or event of default; and

 

  other conditions, including the delivery of an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, described in the Indenture will be met.

 

10


Table of Contents

Events of default

Under the terms of the Indenture, each of the following constitutes an event of default with respect to the senior debt securities:

 

  default for 30 days in the payment of any interest on the senior debt securities when due;

 

  default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, on the senior debt securities when due;

 

  default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty in the Indenture with respect to the senior debt securities for 60 days after written notice;

 

  the subsidiary guarantee of a significant subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect, except as otherwise permitted under the Indenture, or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or is disaffirmed by the subsidiary guarantor;

 

  certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization;

 

  certain defaults under mortgage, indenture or other instruments which may secure or evidence indebtedness for money borrowed by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries; and

 

  certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $80 million.

An event of default for a particular series of senior debt securities does not necessarily impact any other series of senior debt securities issued under the Indenture.

If an event of default exists (other than an event of default with respect to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization), the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding senior debt securities of the series may declare the entire principal amount of and premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest and any other monetary obligations on the senior debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to us, and to the Trustee if given by holders of the senior debt securities. Upon that declaration, the principal (or specified) amount, premium, if any, and interest will become immediately due and payable. If this happens, subject to certain conditions, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding senior debt securities of that series may rescind the declaration if all events of default with respect to the senior debt securities of that series (other than the non-payment of the principal of and interest on the senior debt securities of that series) have been cured or waived and there has been deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all overdue interest, principal, any premium, interest upon overdue interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful), all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Subject to the provisions for the security or indemnification of the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding senior debt securities will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee in connection with the senior debt securities. We are required to furnish the Trustee annually with an officers’ certificate as to the fulfillment of our obligations under the Indenture.

Table of Contents

Concerning the Trustee

The Trustee under the Indenture will have all the duties and responsibilities of an indenture trustee specified in the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee is not required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in performing its duties or exercising its rights and powers if it reasonably believes that it is not reasonably assured of repayment or adequate indemnity.

The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee, acts as depositary for funds of, makes loans to, and/or performs other services for us and our subsidiaries in the normal course of business.

Item 15.    Indemnification of directors and officers

Delaware

(a) Each of Attends Healthcare Products, Inc., Domtar Corporation, EAM Corporation and E.B. Eddy Paper, Inc. is incorporated as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a Delaware corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. This provision, however, may not eliminate or limit a director’s liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The certificate of incorporation of each of Attends Healthcare Products, Inc., Domtar Corporation, EAM Corporation and E.B. Eddy Paper, Inc. contains such a provision.

Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or

 

II-1


Table of Contents

in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that to the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 of the DGCL, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

The certificate of incorporation of Domtar Corporation provides that the corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. The certificate of incorporation of Domtar Corporation further provides that, subject to certain exceptions, Domtar Corporation shall indemnify any person seeking indemnification in connection with any action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person only if such action, suit or proceeding was authorized by Domtar Corporation’s board of directors. In addition, the certificate of incorporation of Domtar Corporation also provides that if a claim for indemnification or advancement is not paid in full by the corporation within 30 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. The certificate of incorporation of Attends Healthcare Products, Inc. provides that the corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the law of the State of Delaware, indemnify any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim by reason of the fact that such person is or was or has agreed to be a director or officer of the corporation. The certificate of incorporation of Attends Healthcare Products, Inc. does not, however, require that the corporation indemnify any person in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of such person.

The bylaws of EAM Corporation provide that the corporation shall indemnify and reimburse all persons who are required or permitted to be indemnified and reimbursed pursuant to applicable provisions of Delaware law. The bylaws of E.B. Eddy Paper, Inc. provide that the corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL against any liability, cost or expense incurred by the applicable director or officer in such director’s or officer’s capacity as a director or officer, or arising of such person’s status as a director or officer of the corporation.

Section 145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the

Table of Contents

corporation as authorized in Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145(e) of the DGCL further provides such expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by former directors and officers or other persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

The certificate of incorporation of Attends Healthcare Products, Inc. provides that the corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the law of the State of Delaware, upon request advance expenses to any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim by reason of the fact that such person is or was or has agreed to be a director or officer of the corporation. The certificate of incorporation of Attends Healthcare Products, Inc. does not, however, require the corporation to advance expenses to any person in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of such person. The certificate of incorporation of Domtar Corporation provides that the corporation may pay the expenses of a director or officer incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however that, to the extent required by the DGCL, the payment of such expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified.

The bylaws of E.B. Eddy Paper, Inc. provide that expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending an action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by Article VI of the bylaws of E.B. Eddy Paper, Inc. Neither the certificate of incorporation nor the bylaws of EAM Corporation provides for the advancement of expenses as permitted by Section 145(e) of the DGCL.

Section 145(g) of the DGCL specifically provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

The certificate of incorporation of Domtar Corporation expressly provides that the corporation may maintain insurance at its expense to protect any director or officer of the corporation against any expenses, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such director or officer against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. The bylaws of E.B. Eddy Paper, Inc. expressly provide that the corporation may maintain insurance at its expense, to protect itself and any director or officer of the corporation against liability costs or expenses. Neither the certificate of incorporation nor the bylaws of each of Attends Healthcare Products, Inc. and EAM Corporation contain specific provisions addressing liability insurance for the corporation’s directors and officers.

Domtar Corporation maintains insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Domtar Corporation or its subsidiaries and affiliates against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not it would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

(b) Each of Associated Hygienic Products LLC, Domtar A.W. LLC, Domtar Industries LLC and Domtar Paper Company, LLC is organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (6 Del. C. § 18-101, et seq .) (the “Delaware LLC Act”) provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. The limited liability company agreements of each of Associated Hygienic Products LLC, Domtar A.W. LLC, Domtar Industries LLC and Domtar Paper Company, LLC contain specific provisions relating to indemnification.

In accordance with Section 18-108 of the Delaware LLC Act, the limited liability company agreement of Associated Hygienic Products LLC provides that the limited liability company may indemnify a person who is or was party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a manager, member, employee or agent of the limited liability company or is or was serving at the request of the limited liability company as a manager, member, director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the limited liability company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The limited liability company agreement of Associated Hygienic Products LLC further provides that, to the extent a manager, member, employee or agent of the limited liability company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action, suit or proceeding such person must be indemnified by the limited liability company against expenses actually and reasonably incurred. In addition, the limited liability company agreement of Associated Hygienic Products LLC provides that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter to which a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the limited liability company unless and only to the extent the court in which the action was brought or another court of competent jurisdiction determines the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. In accordance with Section 18-108 of the Delaware LLC Act, the limited liability company agreements of each of Domtar A.W. LLC and Domtar Industries LLC provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, an officer, board member or the member, or any of the member’s directors, officers, agents or employees, or any affiliate of any of the foregoing (the “Covered Person”) shall be entitled to indemnification from the limited liability company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the limited liability company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by the applicable limited liability company agreement, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Covered Person. The limited liability company agreement of Domtar Paper Company, LLC provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the member or any of its or the limited liability company’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents or representatives (a “Domtar Paper Covered Person”) shall be entitled to indemnification from the limited liability company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Domtar Paper Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Domtar Paper Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the limited liability company, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Domtar Paper Covered Person.

 

II-4


Table of Contents

Furthermore, each of the limited liability company agreements of Associated Hygienic Products LLC, Domtar A.W. LLC, Domtar Industries LLC and Domtar Paper Company, LLC provides that the right to indemnification conferred in the applicable limited liability company agreement includes the right to be paid by the limited liability company the expenses (including legal fees) incurred by the Covered Person (or manager or member in the case of Associated Hygienic Products LLC) in defending any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt by the limited liability company of an undertaking by the Covered Person (or manager or member in the case of Associated Hygienic Products LLC) to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification under the applicable limited liability company agreement.

Section 18-406 of the Delaware LLC Act provides that a member, manager or liquidating trustee of a limited liability company shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the limited liability company and upon information, opinions, reports or statements presented by another manager, member or liquidating trustee, an officer or employee of the limited liability company, or committees of the limited liability company, members or managers, or by any other person as to matters the member, manager or liquidating trustees reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the limited liability company, or the value and amount of assets or reserves or contracts, agreements or other undertakings that would be sufficient to pay claims and obligations of the limited liability company or to make reasonable provision to pay such claims and obligations, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to members or creditors might properly be paid.

Consistent with Section 18-406 of the Delaware LLC Act, each of the limited liability company agreements of Domtar A.W. LLC, Domtar Industries LLC and Domtar Paper Company, LLC provides that in carrying out any duties under the limited liability company agreement, the Covered Person shall not be liable to the limited liability company for breach of any duty for the Covered Person’s good faith reliance on the records of the limited liability company, or such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the limited liability company by any person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the limited liability company.

Section 18-1101(d) of the Delaware LLC Act provides that unless otherwise provided in a limited liability company agreement, a member or manager or other person will not be liable to a limited liability company or to another member or manager or to another person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by a limited liability company agreement for breach of fiduciary duty for the member’s or manager’s or other person’s good faith reliance on the provisions of the limited liability company agreement. The limited liability company agreements of Associated Hygienic Products LLC, Domtar A.W. LLC, Domtar Industries LLC, and Domtar Paper Company, LLC do not contain specific provisions that override Section 18-1101(d) of the Delaware LLC Act.

Section 18-1101(e) of the Delaware LLC Act permits a limited liability company agreement to limit or eliminate any and all liabilities for breach of contract and breach of duties (including fiduciary duties) of a member, manager or other person to a limited liability company or to another member or manager or to another person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by a limited liability company agreement. However, under Section 18-1101(e) of the Delaware LLC Act, a limited liability company agreement may not limit or eliminate liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Each of the limited liability company agreements of Domtar A.W. LLC and Domtar Industries LLC provides that in the absence of bad faith

by the Covered Person, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the resolution, action or term so made, taken or provided by the Covered Person shall not constitute a breach of the limited liability company agreement or any other agreement contemplated therein or of any duty or obligation of the Covered Person at law or in equity or otherwise. In addition, each of the limited liability company agreements of Domtar A.W. LLC and Domtar Industries LLC provides that the provisions of the limited liability company agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity to the limited liability company or its members, are agreed by the parties to the limited liability company agreement to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. The limited liability company agreement of Domtar Paper Company LLC provides that the provisions of the limited liability company agreement, to the extent that they restrict, expand or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties to the limited liability company agreement to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. The limited liability company agreement of Associated Hygienic Products LLC does not contain specific provisions that limit or eliminate liabilities for breach of contract and breach of duties (including fiduciary duties) of a member, manager or other person as permitted by Section 18-1101(e) of the Delaware LLC Act.

The limited liability company agreement of Associated Hygienic Products LLC provides that the limited liability company may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is a manager, member, employee or agent of the limited liability company for any liability asserted against such person and liability and expenses incurred by such person in such person’s capacity as manager, member, director, officer, employee or agent, whether or not the limited liability company has the authority to indemnify such person against such liability and expenses.

The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the Delaware LLC Act and each of the above registrant’s limited liability company agreements, as amended to date.

Director indemnification agreements

Domtar Corporation has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors, including John D. Williams, who is also the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Each indemnification agreement provides that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the individual (the “Indemnitee”) to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law against losses incurred by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. In addition, the Company will advance to the Indemnitee certain expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defending against an indemnifiable claim. The Indemnitee agrees to repay to the Company all amounts advanced to the Indemnitee by the Company if the Indemnitee is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification in respect of such claim. The Company has entered into substantially similar indemnification agreements with each Board-appointed officer.

Item 17.            Undertakings

 

(a) Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

II-9


Table of Contents
  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

  (i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

  (ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is a part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was a part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

  (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

  (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

  (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

II-10


Table of Contents
  (6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (7) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,

 

  (i) The information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

  (ii) Each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (8) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act (“Act”) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)2 of the Act.

 

  (9) To supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of any warrant or right subscription period, to set forth the results of any warrant or right subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.

 

(b) Insofar as indemnification by the registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
