Shares) of common stock of Boise Inc., par value $0.0001 per share, at a purchase price of $12.55 per Share, net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding of taxes required by applicable law, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated September 26, 2013, and the related Letter of Transmittal, each of which is attached to the Schedule TO filed by Parent and Purchaser with the SEC on
September 26, 2013.
Except as set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged and is incorporated
herein by reference as relevant to the items in this Amendment No. 5. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 14D-9.

Expiration of the Offer.
The Offer

validly tendered to Purchaser and not properly withdrawn (including 6,529,831 Shares delivered through notices of guaranteed delivery), representing approximately 66.8% of the Shares outstanding. Upon expiration of the Offer, Purchaser accepted for
payment in accordance with the terms of the Offer all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to expiration of the Offer (including all Shares delivered through notices of guaranteed delivery), and payment for such Shares
