The Company will reduce its newsprint and commercial printing papers production capacity by approximately 1 million metric tons per year during the first quarter of 2008. The reductions include the permanent closure of the Belgo (Shawinigan, Quebec) and Dalhousie (New Brunswick) mills, as well as the indefinite idling of the Donnacona (Quebec) and Mackenzie (British Columbia) paper mills. The Company will ... indefinitely idle two Mackenzie sawmills directly supporting the Mackenzie paper operation. These facilities are not generating positive cash flows and are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. They represent approximately 600,000 metric tons of newsprint, 400,000 metric tons of commercial printing papers, and 500 million board feet of lumber capacities. In spite of these capacity reductions, AbitibiBowater expects to continue growing its international newsprint sales in line with offshore market expansions.
