Effective August 31, 2025, Greif, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the sale of its containerboard business, including its CorrChoice sheet feeder network (the “Containerboard Business”), to Packaging Corporation of America (“Purchaser”). The sale of the Containerboard Business was completed in accordance with the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2025 (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Purchase and Sale Agreement, effective as of June 30, 2025 (“Amendment No. 1 to Purchase and Sale Agreement” and, together with the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the “Agreement”), among Purchaser, the Company, as guarantor, and Greif Packaging LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as seller. In accordance with the Agreement, the Company sold the Containerboard Business to Purchaser through the sale and transfer to Purchaser of the equity interests in those subsidiaries of the Company that directly owned the Containerboard Business on the date of closing. The purchase price for the Containerboard Business was $1.8 billion, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Agreement.

The results of the Containerboard Business, previously reported in the Company's paper segment, are now classified as a discontinued operation beginning in the third quarter of 2025 and reflected in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 28, 2025 (the “Third Quarter Form 10-Q”).

The Company has derecognized all the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale from the balance sheet upon completion of the divestiture of the Containerboard Business. The Company intends to use the proceeds from this divestiture to reduce debt by approximately $1.4 billion, and the estimated gain on sale in connection with this divestiture is $1.1 billion. Given these adjustments are limited, they are not reflected in a separate Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet or the Third Quarter Form 10-Q but will be reflected in the Company's upcoming Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company were derived from its historical Consolidated Financial Statements. The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income for each of the years ended October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are presented as if the divestiture of the Containerboard Business had occurred on November 1, 2021.
