19-Feb-2009

Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Financial Statements and Exhibits


Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

At its February 12, 2009 meeting, the Executive Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of Tredegar Corporation (the "Corporation") approved the following compensatory arrangements with the Corporation's named executive officers.

2009 Cash Incentive Plan

The Compensation Committee approved an annual cash incentive plan applicable to the Corporation's executive officers. The 2009 Incentive Plan for Executive Officers (the "2009 Incentive Plan") approved by the Compensation Committee applies to the Corporation's executive officers (including the named executive officers, other than D. Andrew Edwards) and certain other key corporate-level employees.

The 2009 Incentive Plan is intended to reward each participant based on the attainment of specific 2009 financial performance targets as well as individual performance. For the named executive officers, other than Ms. Taylor and Mr. Edwards, 2009 financial performance will be measured by economic profit added ("EPA") based on the Corporation's consolidated results. For Ms. Taylor, 2009 financial performance will be measured by EPA based on the performance of the Film Products division, which Ms. Taylor leads. The Committee reviewed the annual financial targets for the 2009 Incentive Plan as part of its review and approval of the 2009 Incentive Plan. The following short-term incentive opportunities, expressed as a percentage of the named executive officer's base salary, are available under the 2009 Incentive Plan for the named executive officers, other than Mr. Edwards:

                                                 2009 Short-Term Incentive Structure
Name                Title                         Threshold      Target     Maximum

Special plan provisions apply to Mr. Edwards who will be undertaking responsibilities in addition to his position as the Corporation's Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Edwards will be rewarded based on the attainment of specific functional goals that relate to his additional responsibilities rather than EPA, as follows:
