Berg Robin P. Bradbury Messrs. Berg and Bradbury are both principals of Water Street Capital, Inc., which is engaged in the investment management business. Of the shares reported by Mr. Berg on his cover page, all but 26,000 shares are owned by investment partnerships and managed accounts (which partnerships and managed accounts collectively total less than 15) over which Mr. Berg has sole voting and investment power, and the remaining 26,000 shares, over which Mr. Berg has sole voting and investment power, are owned by Mr. Berg or members of his immediate family. The partnerships, managed accounts and personal and family accounts through which the shares shown on Mr. Berg's cover page are held are referred to herein as the "Berg Accounts." The shares reported by Mr. Bradbury on his cover page, over which he has sole voting and investment power, consist of shares owned by Mr. Bradbury or members of his immediate family. Such personal and family accounts are referred to herein as the "Bradbury Accounts." Any dividends on the shares in the Berg Accounts and the Bradbury Accounts, and the proceeds from the sale of such shares, will be paid to such accounts, based on the relative number of shares held in each. Pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b), Messrs. Berg and Bradbury may be deemed to have formed a group for the purpose of acquiring, holding and disposing of securities of the issuer inasmuch as they anticipate that investments in or dispositions of the Common Stock may be made by the Berg Accounts and the Bradbury Accounts together. Accordingly, Mr. Berg may be deemed (but disclaims) to be the beneficial owner of the shares held in the Bradbury Accounts, and Mr. Bradbury may be deemed (but disclaims) to be the beneficial owner of shares held in the Berg Accounts. The Berg Accounts and the Bradbury Accounts collectively own less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the issuer's Common Stock. ---------------------------------- ------------------------- CUSIP No. 118255108 Page 10 of 10 Pages ---------------------------------- ------------------------- Exhibit 2 JOINT FILING AGREEMENT In accordance with Rule 13d-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the persons named below agree to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of this Schedule 13G with respect to the Common Stock of Buckeye Technologies, Inc. and further agree that this joint filing agreement be included as an exhibit to such joint filing.
