Item 2.06 Material Impairments.
     This filing amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Graphic Packaging Corporation on October 17, 2007 (the “Form 8-K).
     On October 17, 2007, Graphic Packaging Corporation filed the Form 8-K disclosing that Graphic Packaging International Holding Sweden AB (the “Seller”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Graphic Packaging Corporation , had entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Lagrummet December nr 1031 Aktiebolag, a company organized under the laws of Sweden that will be renamed Fiskeby International Holding AB (the “Purchaser”) and simultaneously completed the transactions contemplated by such agreement. Pursuant to such Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Purchaser acquired all of the outstanding shares of Graphic Packaging International Sweden AB (the “Company”). In the Form 8-K, Graphic Packaging Corporation disclosed that it would recognize a loss related to the assets and business of approximately $25 million, but that it was in the process of determining how much of such loss is attributable to impairment of the Company’s assets and business. Graphic Packaging Corporation determined on October 23, 2007 that based on updated forecasts of the Company’s future cash flows that take into account higher estimated costs for fiber and electricity, the amount of the impairment charge is $25.2 million. Graphic Packaging Corporation is currently evaluating whether any goodwill is allocable to the Company and should also be impaired.
