Pliant Corporation 2009-2013 Business Plan Summary February 2009

Executive Summary Pliant is a leader in the Flexible Packaging & Plastic Film Market There is an on-going consumer need for all of the company's products as they are used in everyday life in products such as diapers, food packaging, beverage packaging and medical packaging 2008 demand contracted dramatically especially in the 2nd half of 2008 as end consumption softened and plastic costs increased dramatically based on oil-gas price hikes. Film users and packaging providers sought to hold the least amount of inventory possible. 2009 demand outlooks & guidance from major market participants suggest that a lean supply chain will stay in place for 2009 and maybe beyond PLUS there will be additional demand end consumption declines of around 2% to 5% due to a major recession Pliant is forecasting volume growth of 1% per year during the next 5 years Driven by (1) satisfying and retaining top customers and (2) continued growth in certain market segments and (3) adding new capacity and capabilities to expand in specific areas of new products Growth in Medical Packaging business - New Medical Center of Excellence unlocks new capabilities Growth in multi-layer films and sheeting lines - expanded value-add product portfolio Growth in Trash Bag business - huge natural market that leverages our bag-making expertise Month-to-month volatility of the company's main raw material - plastic resin - will continue to be a major factor that impacts profit throughout the forecast period Month-to-month resin price volatility has been consistently high for a couple of years and continues today Outlook is for continued volatility - resin is directly tied to (1) oil and gas prices and (2) temporary monthly physical supply/demand/inventory balances of huge refinery complexes New resin-making capacity that is coming on-line in the Middle East and China will be disruptive as well Nevertheless, Pliant is forecasting to more than double its profits during the forecast period from $46 million in 2008 to $95 million in 2013 Light, recessionary demand and volatility of plastic resin prices will be attacked with consistent cost reduction and focused growth initiatives An appropriate capital structure will provide the means of implementing necessary improvements

A Primary Driver of Market Decline for Film Grade Resin Products Is a Consistent Effort By Customers to Decrease the Use of Plastic in their Products This is Referred to as Downgauging. Pliant Weighted Average Gauge (mils) Pliant's Sales Pounds Mirror the Reduction in Plastic Used per Package. As Packages and Films Use Less & Less Plastic, Pliant's Sales Pounds Go Down. Note: Average gauge calculated using weighted averages by plant. Downgauging Has Been a Consistent Practice but Accelerated in 2008 as Flexible Packaging Costs Rose to All-Time Highs 2004 879 2005 867 2006 869 2007 844 2008 775 Millions Trade Lbs 879 867 869 844 782

Summary Pliant is a leader in the global packaging industry Top line growth will be driven by satisfying top customers, entering new market segments, and adding new capacity and capabilities. Film thickness will continue to be reduced as customers seek to use less plastic in their packages Pliant has consistently invested and cost-reduced to improve its competitiveness Next generation products, use of global materials, plant footprint optimization, equipment modernization, salesforce expansion, and customer relationship investment Delivered quality, customer service, and cost reduction are cultural at Pliant Extreme resin volatility is a reality that has to be managed -- minimize resin pass-through dynamics and month-to-month resin price volatility Balance sheet has been a problem for 8 years, debt has already been cut by $541 million and further restructuring is required in order to pursue our business plan more deliberately in order to consistently enhance enterprise value
