*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The common shares were transferred in satisfaction of obligations owed pursuant to the Contingent Value Rights Agreements dated as of February 2008 (the "CVRs"), a form of which is included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Issuer's Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2008. Pursuant to the CVR Agreements, Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C. ("BCH") was obligated to pay (in the form of cash or the issuer's common shares) to CVR holders an amount per CVR by which the Anniversary Price (defined as the arithmetical average of the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg Professional Service for the period beginning 9:30 a.m., New York City time and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York City time for the 30 trading days prior to February 5, 2009) was less than $10.50, up to a maximum of $1.00 (the "CVR Payments").
(2)	The CVR Agreements provide that for purposes of determining the number of common shares required to settle the CVR Payments, the value of each common share shall equal the higher of the Anniversary Price or $9.00. Accordingly, solely for purposes of computing the number of common shares required to settle the CVR Payments, each common share used to settle the CVR Payments has a deemed value equal to $9.00 under the CVR Agreements.
(3)	BCH is the record owner of the 37,085,770 common shares set forth herein. The shares held by BCH may be deemed to be beneficially owned by: (i) Forest Products Holdings, L.L.C. ("FPH"), by virtue of its being the controlling equityholder of BCH; (ii) Madison Dearborn Capital Partners IV, L.P. ("MDCP IV") by virtue of its being the controlling equityholder of FPH; and (iii) Madison Dearborn Partners IV, L.P. ("MDP IV"), by virtue of its being the general partner of MDCP IV. John A. Canning, Jr., Paul J. Finnegan and Samuel M. Mencoff are the sole members of a limited partner committee of MDP IV that has the power, acting by majority vote, to vote or dispose of the shares held by MDCP IV and MDP IV. Each of FPH, MDCP IV, MDP IV and the members of the limited partner committee of MDP IV disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held directly by BCH except to the extent of his or its respective pecuniary interest therein.
