Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Pursuant to P. H. Glatfelter Company's (the "Company") Management Incentive Plan, which is described in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders and included as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") establishes financial performance targets at the beginning of each year for payments of incentive bonus awards to eligible senior executive officers.

On February 16, 2005, the Committee determined the financial performance target established for the year ended December 31, 2004, was not achieved. However, the Committee approved the payment of discretionary bonuses to Messrs. John C. van Roden, Jr. and Werner Ruckenbrod, each of whom is a named executive officer as of December 31, 2004, in the amounts of $55,000 and $42,000, respectively, in recognition of individual performance during 2004.
