Company History

OfficeMax Incorporated (formerly Boise Cascade Corporation) was organized as Boise Payette Lumber Company, a Delaware corporation, in 1931 as a successor to an Idaho corporation formed in 1913. In 1957, the company's name changed to Boise Cascade Corporation. On December 9, 2003, Boise Cascade Corporation acquired 100 percent of the voting securities of OfficeMax, Inc. That acquisition more than doubled the size of our office products distribution business and expanded that business into the U.S. retail channel. The company's name changed from Boise Cascade Corporation to OfficeMax Incorporated, and the names of our office product segments changed from Boise Office Solutions, Contract and Boise Office Solutions, Retail to OfficeMax, Contract and OfficeMax, Retail.

On October 29, 2004, we sold our paper, forest products and timberland assets to affiliates of Boise Cascade, L.L.C., a new company formed by Madison Dearborn Partners LLC. With the Sale, we completed the Company's transition from a predominately manufacturing-based company to an independent office products distribution company.
