Item 1.01.
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On June 25, 2011, OfficeMax Incorporated (the Company) and Boise White Paper, L.L.C. (Boise) entered into a new Paper Purchase Agreement (the Paper Agreement)
whereby the Company has agreed to purchase office papers from Boise, and Boise has agreed to supply office papers to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the Paper Agreement. The Paper Agreement replaces the previous paper purchase
agreement between the parties executed in 2004. For more information about the termination of the previous agreement, please refer to Item 1.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Paper Agreement requires the Company to purchase from Boise and Boise to sell to the Company virtually all of the Companys
North American requirements for office paper, subject to certain conditions. After 2012, the Paper Agreement provides the Company more flexibility to purchase paper from paper producers other than Boise. The Paper Agreements term will expire
on December 31, 2017, followed by a gradual reduction of the Companys purchase requirements over a two year period thereafter. However, if certain circumstances occur, the term may be terminated earlier, beginning as early as
December 31, 2012. If the term ends December 31, 2012, it will be followed by a gradual reduction of the Companys purchase requirements over a four year period. If the term ends on a later date, the gradual reduction period will last
two years.
Item 1.02.
|
Termination of Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On June 25, 2011, the Company and Boise jointly terminated the Paper Purchase Agreement executed by them on April 28, 2004 (the Old Agreement). The Old Agreement had required the
Company to purchase virtually all of its North American requirements for office papers from Boise to the extent Boise chose to supply such papers to the Company. The Old Agreement provided for a gradual reduction of the Companys purchase
requirements over a four year period to begin after the delivery of notice of termination but not prior to December 31, 2012. The Old Agreement also required the Company to purchase from Boise certain paper products manufactured by third
parties, for so long as Boise distributed those products.
The termination of the Old Agreement was effective upon the
execution of the Paper Agreement, as described above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Old Agreement was terminated without penalty to either party.
