On
January 16, 2008, Aldabra 2 Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press
release announcing that Boise Paper, a business unit of Boise Cascade, LLC
(“Boise”), has completed the start-up phase of its $80 million capital
investment to expand Boise's production of pressure sensitive
paper. On September 7, 2007, the Company announced its intention to
acquire Boise’s paper and packaging manufacturing businesses. A copy of the
Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby
incorporated by reference.
Where
to Find Additional
Information
The
Company has filed with the SEC a
preliminary proxy statement and plans to file with the SEC a definitive proxy
statement in connection with the proposed transaction. Investors are urged
to
carefully read the proxy statements and any other relevant documents filed
with
the SEC when they become available, because they will contain important
information about the Company and the transaction. Copies of the proxy
statements and other documents filed by the Company will be available at the
Web
site maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.
Participants
in the
Solicitation
The
Company, its current directors and
executive officers, and certain individuals nominated to serve as the Company’s
directors or executive officers following the proposed acquisition may be deemed
to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s
stockholders in connection with such acquisition. In addition, Lazard
Capital Markets LLC and Pali Capital, Inc., two of the underwriters for the
Company’s IPO, may assist in these efforts and may also be deemed to be
participants in such solicitations of proxies. In connection with the
Company’s IPO, the Company has agreed to pay the underwriters for the IPO an
underwriting discount, a portion of which (in the amount of $12,420,000) would
not be payable unless and until the Company completes a business combination.
The Company will not pay the underwriters additional fees in connection with
any
such efforts. Information regarding the Company's current directors
and executive officers is available in the Company’s Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (Registration Nos. 333-141398 and 333-143890), which was filed with
the
SEC on March 19, 2007, and subsequent amendments thereto, and are also contained
in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement. Other information
regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their
direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, are set forth
in the proxy statements currently and to be filed with the SEC in connection
with the proposed acquisition.
