Miamisburg, Ohio, USA, 13 February 2012 -- /PRNewswire -- NewPage Corporation announced today that it is seeking to amend its amended and restated superpriority debtor-in-possession credit and guaranty agreement dated as of 23 September 2011. Among other things, NewPage is seeking to reduce the minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA covenant and in conjunction would increase the notes payment reserve. In addition, NewPage intends to obtain the flexibility for cash collateralized letters of credit to mature beyond the term of the debtor-oin-possession credit facility.

There are no assurances that NewPage will be successful in its negotiations with the lenders or in obtaining court approval.
