TREDEGAR CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
NOTE 1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
General
Tredegar Corporation (Tredegar), which engages directly or through subsidiaries in plastics and aluminum businesses, is a Virginia corporation. The Tredegar Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (Plan) was adopted by the Board of Directors of Tredegar on June 14, 1989 and the Plan was effective as of July 1, 1989.
The Plan is subject to Titles I, II and III and is exempt from Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Title IV of ERISA provides for federally sponsored insurance for plans that terminate with unfunded benefits. No such insurance is provided to participants in this Plan; however, because the benefits that participants are entitled to receive are always equal to the value of their account balances, the Plan is always fully funded. The value of a participant’s account may change from time to time. Each participant assumes the risk of fluctuations in the value of his or her account.
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
Investments are stated at fair value determined as follows:
Money market funds - market price which is equivalent to cost
Common stock - last published sale price on the New York Stock Exchange
Actively managed commingled funds - provided in the audited annual report of the Frank Russell Trust Company
.

NOTE 1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
Security Transactions and Related Investment Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date and dividend income is recorded as earned on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned on the accrual basis. In determining the realized net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities is determined on an average cost basis. The Plan presents in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
NOTE 2. | DESCRIPTION OF PLAN |
The Plan is a defined contribution plan. Information regarding plan benefits and vesting is provided in the Plan and related documents, which are available at Tredegar’s main office at 1100 Boulders Parkway, Richmond, Virginia.
NOTE 3. | CONTRIBUTIONS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS |
A participant may contribute a percentage of his or her base pay (as defined) ranging from a minimum of .1% (one-tenth of one percent) to 75%. With the exception of certain collectively bargained plans, the company match contribution is $1.00 for every $1.00 a participant contributes up to 6% each payroll period.
With the exception of Participants covered under certain collective bargaining agreements, Employees hired on or after January 1, 2007 will automatically be enrolled in the retirement savings plan at a three percent contribution level unless they choose to contribute more or less. The default investment fund is the age appropriate target fund.

NOTE 3. | CONTRIBUTIONS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS (Continued) |
Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers a Money Market Fund, Tredegar stock and eleven (11) managed commingled funds as investment options to participants.
All Employer Contributions are invested in the Tredegar Stock Fund. Effective January 1, 2007, if the Participant has at least three years of service, any existing Company matching funds as of December 31, 2006 can be transferred once per month as follows: a maximum of up to 33% of the Participant’s existing units can be transferred during 2007, up to 66% in 2008, and up to 100% in 2009. If the Participant is age 55 with at least three years of service, the Participant may transfer all or any part of their company matching account on a monthly basis. Company matching contributions made after January 1, 2007 (“Post-2006 Match”) will be invested in company stock, and the Participant may continue to keep their match in Tredegar stock. However, if the Participant has at least three years of service, the Participant will be able to transfer the Post-2006 Match to other funds on a monthly basis after they have three years of employment.

TREDEGAR CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
NOTE 6. | FEDERAL INCOME TAXES |
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed Tredegar by a letter dated September 7, 2001, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan’s administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the plan’s financial statements.
NOTE 7. | ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES |
The Plan is responsible for all trustee and investment management fees. Tredegar pays for all other administrative expenses up to an annual limit of $75,000. Any expenses in excess of this limit are paid by the Plan.
Employees who leave Tredegar before becoming fully vested in Tredegar contributions forfeit the value of the nonvested portion of the Tredegar contribution account. Forfeitures are applied against Tredegar’s contributions throughout the year. Forfeitures were $93,000 and $87,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Effective January 1, 2007, the Plan was amended so that participants were immediately vested.
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Tredegar has the right under the Plan 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 percent vested in their employer contributions.
NOTE 10. | 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.
