Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Pactiv Corporation Benefits Committee:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Pactiv Hourly 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2008, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Pactiv Hourly 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Pactiv Hourly 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan), provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
GENERAL
The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). Pactiv Corporation (the Company) is the sponsor of the Plan.
ELIGIBILITY AND CONTRIBUTIONS
Depending on their location, employees are eligible to enter the Plan on either the first day of the month following the completion of one full calendar month of service or the first day of the month following the first anniversary of his/her hire date. Depending on their location, employees are eligible for the Company matching contribution after completing one year of service.
Participants may make regular before-tax contributions by payroll deduction of 1% up to 25%, or such other percentage as may be specified in a covered group’s special appendix to the Plan, of eligible compensation, as defined in the Plan, with such contributions limited to $15,500 in 2008 and 2007. Generally, participants who are 50 or older may make catch-up contributions by payroll deductions of 1% to 50% of eligible compensation, with such catch-up contributions limited to $5,000 in 2008 and 2007.
After completing one year of service, generally, the Company makes matching contributions equal to 100% of participants’ regular contributions up to 3% of eligible compensation deferred (or such other percentage as may be specified in a covered group’s special appendix to the Plan).
Company matching contributions can be made in the form of Pactiv Corporation common stock or cash. Company matching contributions made in cash are invested in the same investment option(s) as the participants’ own regular (and catch-up) contributions. In 2008 and 2007, the Company made all matching contributions in cash.
Participants are permitted to sell Pactiv Corporation common stock attributable to Company matching contributions and transfer related amounts into other investment options offered by the Plan.
Subject to the special appendix to the Plan, certain participants of a select covered group are entitled to receive profit-sharing contributions. Profit-sharing contributions were $33,650 for 2008 and $38,989 for 2007.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Participants have the right upon enrollment to select the funds offered by the Plan in which the balance in their accounts will be invested. In addition, participants have the right to change their investment elections with respect to future contributions and transfer existing account balances between the various investment options at any time.
4
VESTING
Participants are immediately vested in their own deferrals and actual earnings thereon.
Vesting of Company matching and profit sharing contributions is based on participants’ years of service as follows:
| | | |
| Years of Service | | Vested Percentage |
| 1 | | 20% |
| 2 | | 40% |
| 3 | | 60% |
| 4 | | 80% |
| 5 | | 100% |
Upon attainment of age 65 or termination of employment with the Company due to death or total disability, participants become 100% vested in their entire accounts. Forfeited non-vested account balances are used to reduce future Company matching contributions or pay Plan administrative expenses.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Upon retirement or other termination of employment, a participant may receive his vested account balance as a lump-sum distribution. Participants with balances of $5,000 or less are paid an automatic lump sum distribution as soon as administratively feasible after termination of employment or retirement. If the vested account balance is greater than $1,000 but $5,000 or less, the automatic lump sum distribution is rolled over to an IRA selected by the Company unless the participant elects otherwise.
Unless otherwise provided for in the covered group’s special appendix to the Plan, a participant may make an in-service withdrawal as described in this paragraph. A participant who has attained age 55 may elect to make an in-service withdrawal, but if such a participant has not attained age 59 1/2, the amount of such a withdrawal may not exceed the participant’s vested account balance reduced by the portion of the account balance attributable to participant before-tax contributions and earnings thereon. A participant who has attained age 59 1/2 may elect to make an in-service withdrawal of all or a portion of his vested account balance. A participant may elect at any time to make an in-service withdrawal of the balance in his rollover contributions account.
PARTICIPANT LOANS
Active participants who have not had a loan during the previous 90 days may obtain a loan from their accounts with a term of 12 to 54 months. Participants may have only one loan outstanding at any time and may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 minus the highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months, or 50% of their vested account balances. The interest rate charged is the Federal Reserve’s prime rate (posted in the Federal Reserve’s release) as in effect as of the end of the month prior to the month in which the loan is requested. Principal and interest are paid through payroll deductions or manual loan payments if a participant is on an unpaid leave of absence.
PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed intent to do so, the Company has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their accounts.
ADMINISTRATION
The Plan is currently administered by the Pactiv Corporation Benefits Committee.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s regular and catch-up contributions, if applicable, and the Company’s contributions, if applicable, and an allocation of Plan earnings (losses). Allocations of earnings (losses) are based on account balances, as defined in the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the vested balance in his account.
EXPENSES
Substantially all Plan administrative expenses are paid for by the Plan, including recordkeeping and trustee fees.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to use estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
INVESTMENT VALUATION
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (see Note 6 for further details on the fair value valuation hierarchy and input levels). Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Pactiv and other common stocks
Pactiv common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape and is classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Other common stocks valued at the closing price are reported on the major market on which the individual securities are traded. Substantially all other common stock is classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Registered investment companies
These investments are public investment vehicles valued using the Net Asset Value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV is a quoted price in a market that is active and classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Money Market Fund
The Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio invests in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities of domestic and foreign issuers and repurchase agreements. The NAV per unit of this money market fund is $1 and classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Loans to plan participants
Loans to plan participants are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
6
3. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
4. INVESTMENTS
Investments that represented 5% or more of the fair value of the Plan’s net assets were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2008 | | 2007 |
| Pactiv Corporation Common Stock | | $ | 20,733,243 | | | $ | 24,066,424 | |
| Fidelity Growth Company Fund | | | 16,125,568 | | | | 27,501,190 | |
| Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio | | | 14,626,018 | | | | 13,295,600 | |
| PIMCO Total Return Fund | | | 4,437,908 | | | | * | |
| Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund | | | 4,148,254 | | | | 6,878,234 | |
| Fidelity Asset Manager Fund | | | * | | | | 6,034,148 | |
| Fidelity Diversified International | | | * | | | | 5,996,760 | |
5. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated November 19, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this issuance of the determination letter, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and that the related trust is tax exempt.
6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157, which does not require the use of any new fair value measurements, clarifies the application of other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. Adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the Plan’s financial statements upon adoption.
SFAS No. 157 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value of an asset or liability:
| | • | | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Plan has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| |
| | • | | Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
| | • | | Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The following tables detail the Plan’s investment assets at fair value and their levels within the fair value hierarchy. As required by SFAS No. 157, assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement for the financial instrument.

Investments at fair value as of December 31, 2008:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total Plan investment assets at fair value classified within Level 3 were $6,927,654 as of December 31, 2008, which consists of participant loans. Such amounts were 8% of total investment assets on the Plan’s statements of net assets available for benefits at fair value as of December 31, 2008.
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in fair value of the Plan’s Level 3 investment assets for the year ended December 31, 2008.
| | | | | |
| Level 3 Assets | | Participant Loans | |
| Balance at January 1, 2008 | | $ | 7,055,399 | |
| Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net) | | | (127,745 | ) |
| | | | |
| Balance at December 31, 2008 | | $ | 6,927,654 | |
| | | | |
7. PARTY-IN-INTEREST
The Plan invests in shares of Pactiv Corporation common stock. Pactiv Corporation is the Plan’s sponsor and, therefore, such investments are party-in-interest transactions. Fidelity Management Trust Company is the trustee of the Plan and, therefore, Plan investments in various Fidelity-sponsored funds are considered party-in-interest transactions.
