This reclassification resulted from a final review of the facts and conditions that existed at the time of the acquisition. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">The Company completed its most recent annual goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of 2010. Based on the results of this evaluation, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill for any of its reporting units. For 2010 testing purposes, the fair values of the Company’s reporting units were estimated based on projections of future years’ operating results and associated cash flows, together with comparable trading and transaction multiples. The Company’s projections incorporated management’s expectations for future growth and, where applicable, improved operating margins. Should such growth and/or margin improvement not materialize as projected, or if the Company’s assessments of the relevant facts and circumstances change, noncash impairment charges may be required. Reporting units with significant goodwill whose results need to show improvement included Tubes & Cores/Paper — Europe, Matrix Packaging, Flexible Packaging, Packaging Services, and Rigid Paper Containers — Australia/New Zealand. Total goodwill associated with these reporting units was approximately $108,000, $132,000, $97,000, $150,000, and $6,000, respectively at April 3, 2011. There were no triggering events during the quarter ended April 3, 2011. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%"><b><i>Other Intangible Assets</i></b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">A summary of other intangible assets as of April 3, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is as follows: </div> <div align="center"> <table style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left" cellspacing="0" border="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">  <tr valign="bottom"> <td width="76%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 8pt" valign="bottom"> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="3"><b>April 3,</b></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="3"><b>December 31,</b></td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 8pt" valign="bottom"> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="3"><b>2011</b></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="3"><b>2010</b></td> </tr>   <tr style="font-size: 1px"> <td colspan="9" align="left" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000"> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom" style="background: #cceeff"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">Other Intangible Assets, gross </div></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom"> <td> <div style="margin-left:30px; text-indent:-15px">Patents </div></td> <td> </td> <td align="right">$</td> <td align="right">2,267</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">$</td> <td align="right">2,264</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom" style="background: #cceeff"> <td> <div style="margin-left:30px; text-indent:-15px">Customer lists </div></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">183,375</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">180,673</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom"> <td> <div style="margin-left:30px; text-indent:-15px">Land use rights </div></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">362</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">354</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom" style="background: #cceeff"> <td> <div style="margin-left:30px; text-indent:-15px">Supply agreements </div></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">1,000</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">1,000</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom"> <td> <div style="margin-left:30px; text-indent:-15px">Other </div></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">16,589</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">16,409</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px"> <td colspan="9" align="left" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000"> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom" style="background: #cceeff"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">Other Intangible Assets, gross </div></td> <td> </td> <td align="right">$</td> <td align="right">203,593</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">$</td> <td align="right">200,700</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px"> <td colspan="9" align="left" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000"> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">Accumulated Amortization </div></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right">$</td> <td align="right">(75,054</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right">$</td> <td align="right">(70,300</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px"> <td colspan="9" align="left" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000"> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom" style="background: #cceeff"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">Other Intangible Assets, net </div></td> <td> </td> <td align="right">$</td> <td align="right">128,539</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">$</td> <td align="right">130,400</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px"> <td colspan="9" align="left" style="border-top: 3px double #000000"> </td> </tr>  </table> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives, which generally range from three to twenty years.

The rates for both quarters varied from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the favorable effect of international operations that are subject to tax rates generally lower than the U.S. rate, the favorable effect of the manufacturer’s deduction, and other U.S. tax adjustments. The U.S. federal manufacturing deduction was limited to a larger extent in 2011 resulting in a smaller favorable impact on the Company’s effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2011 than in the same period last year. These favorable benefits were partially offset by the unfavorable effects of state taxes and other U.S. tax adjustments. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">The Company and/or its subsidiaries file federal, state and local income tax returns in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions.

However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved or when statutes of limitation on potential assessments expire. Additionally, the jurisdictions in which earnings or deductions are realized may differ from current estimates. As a result, the Company’s effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. </div> </div>

The Company is also currently a defendant in a class action by persons who bought Company stock between February 7, 2007 and September 18, 2007. The complaint, as amended, alleges that the Company issued press releases and made public statements during the class period that were materially false and misleading. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages plus interest and attorneys’ fees. As is the case with other companies in similar industries, the Company faces exposure from actual or potential claims and legal proceedings. Some of these exposures have the potential to be material. Information with respect to these and other exposures appears in Part II — Item 8 — “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” (Note 14 — “Commitments and Contingencies”) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company cannot currently estimate the final outcome of many of the items described or the ultimate amount of potential losses. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, accruals for estimated losses are recorded at the time information becomes available indicating that losses are probable and that the amounts are reasonably estimable. Amounts so accrued are not discounted. While the ultimate liabilities relating to claims and proceedings may be significant to profitability in the period recognized, it is management’s opinion that such liabilities, when finally determined, will not have an adverse material effect on Sonoco’s consolidated financial position or liquidity. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%"><b><i>Environmental Matters</i></b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">During the fourth quarter of 2005, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notified U.S. Paper Mills Corp. (U.S. Mills), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, that U.S. Mills and NCR Corporation (NCR), an unrelated party, would be jointly held responsible to undertake a program to remove and dispose of certain PCB-contaminated sediments at a particular site on the lower Fox River in Wisconsin (the “Site”). U.S. Mills and NCR reached an agreement between themselves that each would fund 50% of the costs of remediation. The Company has expensed a total of $17,650 for its estimated share of the total cleanup cost of the Site, and through April 3, 2011, has spent a total of $14,467. The remaining accrual of $3,183 represents the Company’s best estimate of what it is likely to pay to complete the Site project. However, the actual costs associated with cleanup of the Site are dependent upon many factors and it is possible that remediation costs could be higher than the current estimate of project costs. The Company acquired U.S. Mills in 2001, and the alleged contamination predates the acquisition. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">The EPA and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) have also issued a general notice of potential liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and a request to participate in remedial action implementation negotiations relating to a stretch of the lower Fox River, including the bay at Green Bay, (Operating Units 2 — 5) to eight potentially responsible parties, including U.S. Mills. Operating Units 2 — 5 include, but also comprise a vastly larger area than, the Site. A detailed description of the claims and proceedings associated therewith appears in Part II — Item 8 — “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” (Note 14 — “Commitments and Contingencies”) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">On October 14, 2010, the EPA and WDNR filed suit against NCR, API, U.S. Mills and nine other defendants in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (No. 10-CV-00910-WCG) pursuant to Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA. The plaintiffs seek to recover unreimbursed costs incurred for activities undertaken in response to the release and threatened release of hazardous substances from facilities at or near the Lower Fox River and Green Bay as well as damages for injury to, loss of, and destruction of natural resources resulting from such releases. The plaintiffs also seek a ruling that the defendants are liable for future response costs of the plaintiffs and requiring the defendants to comply with the unilateral Administrative Order for Remedial Action discussed in prior filings. The Company does not believe that the remedies sought in the suit materially expand the Company’s potential liability beyond what has been disclosed in this report or in the Company’s prior filings with the SEC. U.S. Mills plans to defend the suit vigorously. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">Since 2007, U.S. Mills has expensed a total of $60,825 for potential liabilities associated with the Fox River contamination (not including amounts expensed for remediation at the Site) and through April 3, 2011, has spent a total of $5,561, primarily on legal fees. Although the Company lacks a reasonable basis for identifying any amount within the range of possible loss as a better estimate than any other amount, as has previously been disclosed, the upper end of the range may exceed the net worth of U.S. Mills. However, because the discharges of hazardous materials into the environment occurred before the Company acquired U.S. Mills, and U.S. Mills has been operated as a separate subsidiary of the Company, the Company does not believe that it bears financial responsibility for these legacy environmental liabilities of U.S. Mills. Therefore, the Company continues to believe that the maximum additional exposure to its consolidated financial position is limited to the equity position of U.S. Mills, which was approximately $85,000 at April 3, 2011. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party at several other environmentally contaminated sites. All of the sites are also the responsibility of other parties. The potential remediation liabilities are shared with such other parties, and, in most cases, the Company’s share, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at the current time. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">As of April 3, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company (and its subsidiaries) had accrued $61,665 and $62,026, respectively, related to environmental contingencies. Of these, a total of $58,447 and $58,727 relate to U.S. Mills at April 3, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These accruals are included in “Accrued expenses and other” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. U.S. Mills recognized a $40,825 benefit in 2008 from settlements reached and proceeds received on certain insurance policies covering the Fox River contamination. U.S. Mills’ two remaining insurance carriers are in liquidation. It is possible that U.S. Mills may recover from these carriers a small portion of the costs it ultimately incurs. U.S. Mills may also be able to reallocate some of the costs it incurs among other parties. There can be no assurance that such claims for recovery or reallocation would be successful and no amounts have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for such potential recovery or reallocation. </div> </div>
