Weyerhaeuser Considers Alternatives for Fine Paper Business
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (April 26, 2006) — Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today announced that,
as part of its strategic review, it is considering alternatives for its fine paper business. The
alternatives range from continuing to hold and operate the assets to a possible sale or other
disposition.
The company said it is in active discussions with several parties, but there is no assurance that
these discussions will lead to an agreement or result in a transaction.
“These are excellent assets operated by dedicated and knowledgeable employees who continue to make
these mills among the best in the white paper industry,” said Steven R. Rogel, chairman, president
and chief executive officer. “I appreciate our employees’ ongoing efforts to work safely and serve
customers while we complete this review.”

incorporated in 1900. In 2005, sales were $22.6 billion. It has offices or operations in 18
countries, with customers worldwide. Weyerhaeuser is principally engaged in the growing and
