Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 29, 2023, Tredegar Corporation (the “Company”) entered into change-in-control severance agreements (each, a “CIC Agreement”) with each of D. Andrews Edwards, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Kevin C. Donnelly, the Company’s Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary (each, an “Executive Officer”), each in the form approved by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the CIC Agreement, if the Executive Officer is terminated without Cause (as defined in the CIC Agreement) or leaves with Good Reason (as defined in the CIC Agreement) (each a “Qualifying Termination”), the Executive Officer will receive a lump sum payment equal to (i) his annual base salary plus (ii) his target annual cash incentive payment for the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs multiplied by:

•

2.0 in the context of a Qualifying Termination occurring: (A) within the 6-month period immediately prior to a Change in Control (as defined in the CIC Agreement), which shall be extended to 12 months immediately prior to a Change in Control if a transaction document implementing the Change in Control is executed and within the following 12 months from such execution a Change in Control is consummated, or (B) within the 2-year period immediately following a Change in Control; or

•

1.0 in the context of a Qualifying Termination other than as set forth above.

In addition, the CIC Agreement provides for certain other customary benefits to the Executive Officer, including payment of accrued compensation, acceleration of unvested equity awards and cash-based long-term incentive awards, and COBRA benefits, in each case subject to the conditions and qualifications set forth in the CIC Agreement. The Executive Officer’s receipt of the payments and other benefits provided for in the CIC Agreement is subject to the execution of a customary waiver and release of claims against the Company.

The foregoing description of the CIC Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the entire CIC Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
