This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Bee Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Packaging Corporation of America, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 26, 2013 (as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 30, 2013, Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on October 1, 2013 and this Amendment, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of Boise Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Boise”), at a price of $12.55 per Share, net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest and less any required withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated September 26, 2013 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related letter of transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Letter of Transmittal,” and together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

All information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, including all schedules thereto, is hereby incorporated herein by reference in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 in the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.

This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Item 11 as reflected below.

Item 11. Additional Information.

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The information set forth in Section 16 —“Legal Matters; Required Regulatory Approvals—Certain Litigation Related to the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text to the end of such section:

“Pursuant to an order granted on October 2, 2013 by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, the Delaware actions were consolidated into one action captioned In Re Boise, Inc. Stockholder Litigation, C.A. No. 8933-VCG (the “Consolidated Action”) and the document requests and third party discovery filed in the DCM Multi-Manager Fund, LLC action described above were designated as operative. On October 3, 2013, the plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action filed a consolidated class action complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”). The plaintiffs also filed a motion to expedite proceedings and a motion for a preliminary injunction.

The Consolidated Complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Boise’s public stockholders because, among other things, they allegedly obtained a price in the proposed acquisition of Boise by Parent and Purchaser that is inadequate and not the fair value that could be obtained under the circumstances for Boise’s public stockholders, and the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Boise allegedly failed to disclose to Boise’s stockholders all material facts related to the proposed acquisition. The Consolidated Action also alleges that Parent and Purchaser aided and abetted those alleged violations. The plaintiffs purport to bring the Consolidated Action on behalf of a class of Boise stockholders, and seek relief that includes injunctive relief and/or damages and an award of attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs. Parent and Purchaser believe that the Consolidated Action is without merit and intend to defend vigorously against all claims asserted.”

Item 12. Exhibits.

Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibit:

 

(a)(5)(I)

Verified Consolidated Class Action Complaint filed on October 3, 2013 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned In Re Boise Shareholder Litigation (Case No. 8933-VCG).
