Explanatory Note
     This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on July 28, 2006 by Third Avenue Management LLC (“TAM”) (the “Statement”) relating to the common shares of (the “Common Shares”) of Catalyst Paper Corporation, a Canada corporation (the “Company”).
     Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Statement, and unless amended or supplemented hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended in its entirety to be replaced by the following:
     “TAM previously acquired, on behalf of certain investment advisory clients of TAM, Common Shares for investment purposes. TAM currently exercises control or direction over 19.8% of the Common Shares. The Common Shares over which TAM currently exercises control or direction are beneficially owned by certain investment advisory clients of TAM on whose behalf TAM has discretionary investment authority.
     On August 11, 2006, CTOE LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Offeror”), filed a circular announcing a public general tender offer (the “Offer”) to all shareholders of the Company, for up to 39,000,000 Common Shares (representing 18.2% of the outstanding Common Shares), at a price of CDN$3.30 per Common Share. The Offeror was formed at the request of TAM solely for the purpose of making the Offer and has not otherwise carried on, and will not otherwise carry on, any material business or activity and has no assets. The Offer is being made for the benefit of certain investment advisory clients of TAM who will be the owners of the Common Shares acquired under the Offer.
     On August 11, 2006, TAM announced the mailing by the Offeror of documents relating to the Offer to the shareholders of the Company.
     Except as set forth above, TAM has no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.”
