<b>G-P, Caraustar Reach Agreement</b>

Georgia-Pacific Corp. and Caraustar Industries Inc. jointly announced a tentative settlement today in the legal dispute over terms of a paper supply agreement. Caraustar and G-P Gypsum signed a new 10-year agreement under which Caraustar will produce and sell to G-P Gypsum between 1.89 and 3.78 billion square feet of paper per year to be used in G-P Gypsum's new ToughRock wallboard.

Upon satisfactory completion of an initial transition period, the new agreement will become effective and the companies will dismiss all pending litigation. This is expected to take place in the next 90 days.
