• Amendment No. 10 amends and supplements Amendment Nos. 1 through 9 to the statement on Schedule 13D initially filed on August 15, 1989 with respect to shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Tredegar Corporation (the “Issuer”), as well as the Schedule 13D filed by Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr. on January 21, 2009.

ITEM 4. Purpose of the Transaction .

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:

Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D by John D. Gottwald, William M. Gottwald and Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr. (collectively, the “Gottwalds”) attached the request of the Gottwalds to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) to advise whether the nomination of individuals who owned Common Stock would, in the absence of any agreement as to how the nominee would vote his or her shares, constitute “beneficial ownership” of the nominee’s shares under the Issuer’s shareholder rights agreement. The Gottwalds have been advised that the Board is unable to respond at this time to that question. While the Gottwalds would prefer to meet with shareholders and solicit their views as to potential director candidates, in order to avoid the risk that the Board would trigger the shareholder rights agreement on shareholders as a result of any such discussions, the Gottwalds ask that any shareholder of the Issuer who wishes to suggest potential nominees to the Board may do so by email to EMCCARTHY@dfking.com. In light of the Board’s stated inability to advise the Gottwalds on the question as to the impact under the shareholder rights agreement of nominating individuals who own Common Stock, the Gottwalds request that only individuals who do not own Common Stock be suggested and that such individuals have indicated a willingness to be nominated.

ITEM 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits .

Exhibit 1 Agreement among Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr., John D. Gottwald and William M. Gottwald with respect to the filing of this Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D.
