DALLAS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--[ The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC ], founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the law firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of [ Cellu Tissue Holdings, Inc ]. (aCLUa or aCellu Tissuea) (NYSE: CLU) related to the proposed acquisition of Cellu Tissue by Clearwater Paper Corporation (aClearwatera).

"Based on these variables, the proposed price appears to be unfair to Cellu Tissue shareholders"

The agreement involves an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $502 million, including assumed debt, under which Cellu Tissue shareholders will receive $12.00 in cash for each share ofCLU common stock they hold. Although the proposed acquisition price represents a premium over Cellu Tissuea™s closing price on September 15, 2010, at least one analyst has set a target price of $16.00 per share. Furthermore, Cellu Tissue stock was offered at $13.00 per share in its initial public offering on January 21, 2010. aBased on these variables, the proposed price appears to be unfair to Cellu Tissue shareholders,a stated Willie Briscoe, a shareholder rights attorney who is a former enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The investigation relates to possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Cellu Tissue for approving this transaction, whether the consideration to be received by Cellu Tissue shareholders is fair, and whether Cellu Tissuea™s Board of Directors acted in the shareholdersa™ best interests.
