Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 2, 2013, Packaging Corporation of America (“PCA”) notified Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) that PCA intends to prepay in full on or around December 24, 2013 all amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of September 19, 2008 (as amended through the date hereof, the “Receivables Credit Agreement”), between PCA’s wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary, Packaging Receivables Company, LLC and Bank of America, and terminate the Receivables Credit Agreement. The Receivables Credit Agreement was scheduled to terminate on October 11, 2014. Approximately $109 million in principal amount of loans are currently outstanding under the Receivables Credit Agreement. PCA does not expect to incur prepayment or termination penalties. Bank of America is a lender and is the administrative agent under PCA’s existing unsecured credit facility.

Packaging Receivables Company, LLC may borrow on a revolving basis under the Receivables Credit Agreement for the purpose of purchasing PCA’s accounts receivable. The borrowings bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus a margin and are secured by the receivables covered by the facility.

The Receivables Credit Agreement and amendments thereto were filed as exhibits to PCA’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on September 25, 2008 (Exhibit 10.1), April 16, 2009 (Exhibit 10.1), April 15, 2010 (Exhibit 10.1), March 2, 2011 (Exhibit 10.1) and October 12, 2011 (Exhibit 10.2), and are incorporated by reference herein.
