Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On June 1, 2009 Graphic Packaging International, Inc. (“GPI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the registrant, entered into an 8-year supply agreement with Sun Chemical Corporation (“Sun”) whereby GPI has agreed to purchase from Sun at least 95% of its annual requirements for certain ink products. Pricing for products purchased under the agreement is based on margin expectations and manufacturing costs. The agreement may be terminated early (i) by GPI upon payment of a termination fee or (ii) by Sun if GPI has not purchased certain minimum annual amounts of products, in which case GPI will be required to pay a pre-determined termination fee. In addition, the agreement may be extended by Sun if GPI has not purchased a minimum aggregate amount of products over the term.

     The Company expects to file the agreement as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended on June 30, 2009, and intends to seek confidential treatment for certain terms and provisions of the agreement. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreement when filed.
