Weyerhaeuser Split-Off

Weyerhaeuser Investor Information

On May 22, 2014, Weyerhaeuser commenced its exchange offer related to the split-off transaction of WRECO. The exchange offer is in connection with Weyerhaeuser’s announcement on November 4, 2013, that pursuant to a tax-free distribution, commonly referred to as a Reverse Morris Trust, WRECO will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (“TRI Pointe”).

From the commencement date of the Exchange Offer, the volume weighted average stock prices (“VWAP”) for Weyerhaeuser common shares and TRI Pointe common stock will be made available on this website.

From the second trading day after the commencement date of the Exchange Offer, and each day thereafter prior to June 26, 2014, June 27, 2014 and June 30, 2014 (the “Valuation Dates”), indicative calculated per-share values for Weyerhaeuser common shares, WRECO common shares and TRI Pointe common stock and the indicative exchange ratio will be made available on this website, in each case calculated as though that day were the expiration date. In other words, the indicative calculated per-share values for Weyerhaeuser common shares and TRI Pointe common stock used to calculate the exchange ratio that will be made available each day will be the simple arithmetic average of the actual daily volume-weighted average prices of Weyerhaeuser common shares and TRI Pointe common stock, respectively, during the elapsed portion of that trading day and the daily VWAPs on each of the prior two trading days. The indicative calculated per-share value for WRECO common shares will equal the indicative calculated per-share value of TRI Pointe common stock for that day, multiplied by 1.297.

During the Valuation Dates, the indicative exchange ratios will be based on indicative calculated per-share values computed using cumulative actual trading data for the Valuation Dates. Thus, on the second trading day prior to the originally contemplated expiration date of the Exchange Offer (the first of the Valuation Dates), the actual daily volume-weighted average prices during the elapsed portion of that first day of calculation will be used in the calculations; on the trading day prior to the originally contemplated expiration date of the Exchange Offer (the second of the Valuation Dates), the calculations will use the simple arithmetic average of the daily VWAPs for the first day of calculation and the actual daily volume-weighted average prices during the elapsed portion of that second day of calculation; and on the originally contemplated expiration date of the Exchange Offer (the third of the Valuation Dates), the calculations will use the simple arithmetic average of the daily VWAPs for the first day of calculation, the daily VWAPs for the second day of calculation and the actual daily volume-weighted average prices during the elapsed portion of that final trading day. During the Valuation Dates, indicative calculated per-share values and exchange ratios will be updated on this website at 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and no later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time.


The exchange offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 30, 2014, unless the offer is extended or terminated. Further information regarding the exchange offer can be found using the links below.
