EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Current Report”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Glatfelter Corporation (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 3, 2023, which amended the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on May 31, 2023 (together, the “Original Reports”) and is being filed solely in order to amend and supplement the Company’s disclosure contained in Item 2.05 of the Original Reports.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities.

On August 15, 2023, Glatfelter Corporation (the “Company”) announced the completion of the sale of Glatfelter Ober-Schmitten GmbH, which includes the Ober-Schmitten facility in Germany (the “Facility”), and certain related distributor operations in Asia, to Ostrest GmbH. In connection with the sale, the Company has entered into a transition services agreement with Ostrest GmbH, pursuant to which the Company will provide certain transition support to Ostrest GmbH through December 31, 2023, which may be extended until March 31, 2024. In addition, the Company has entered into a limited distribution agreement with Ostrest GmbH with respect to certain Ober-Schmitten products. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale and expects to record a loss of approximately $15 million on the sale.

On May 31, 2023, the Company had announced that it was closing the Facility and, on August 3, 2023, disclosed that it estimated that it would incur approximately $10.4 million of cash expenses in connection with employee separation benefits associated with the closure and approximately $0.4 million of other associated costs. These expenses were recognized in the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2023. As a result of the sale, the Company will reverse the employee separation charge which will be reflected in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2023. The Company will not reverse the amounts recorded as other associated costs. The Company does not expect to incur any additional costs or expenses in connection with the Facility, except costs associated with the transition services agreement.
