On May 7, 2018, the third business day following the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Tredegar Corporation (“Tredegar”) granted non-statutory stock options to its named executive officers. The value of the stock options were previously reported in Tredegar’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2018 (in the case of Messrs. Edwards and Schewel) and its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 7, 2018 (in the case of Mr. Gottwald). The value of the non-statutory stock options were converted to shares using the modified Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting number of shares granted were as follows:

John D. Gottwald	President and CEO	$2,000,000	361,011

Michael J. Schewel	VP, General Counsel and Secy.	$165,418	29,859

The nonstatutory stock options have an option price of $19.35 per share, which is the closing price of shares of Tredegar’s common stock on May 7, 2018, will vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant, and have a term of seven years. The grant is subject to the terms of the Notice of Nonstatutory Stock Option Grant and Nonstatutory Stock Option Terms and Conditions, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on May 7, 2018, and is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
