*
Target allocation for equity securities under the French pension plan does not differentiate types of equity securities. None of the Company's pension plan assets are targeted for investment in SWM stock, except that it is possible that one or more mutual funds held by the plan could hold shares of SWM.

**
Investments in this category under the U.S. pension plan only may include hedge funds, and may include real estate under the French pension plan.
