Resolute Forest Products Launched as New Identity for AbitibiBowater

The company’s new name and associated visual identity now appears on all marketing materials and communications. AbitibiBowater Inc. and its subsidiaries will not change their legal entity names until the company obtains shareholder approval, as required by law, at its 2012 annual general meeting.

For Resolute’s customers, suppliers and other stakeholders little will change beyond how the company refers to itself. Until the company obtains shareholder approval to change its legal entity names, the new company name will not be used on invoices, checks, contracts, product names, company stocks and stock market listings.
