Proposed Merger

On May 29, 2022, CatchMark Timber Trust and CatchMark Timber OP entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with PotlatchDeltic Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PotlatchDeltic”), and Horizon Merger Sub 2022, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CatchMark Timber Trust will be merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PotlatchDeltic (the "Company Merger") followed by the merger of CatchMark Timber OP with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PotlatchDeltic (the “Partnership Merger” and together with the Company Merger, the “Mergers”).

The Merger Agreement provides that at the effective time of the Company Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, other than those shares held by CatchMark Timber Trust, CatchMark Timber OP, PotlatchDeltic, Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Excluded Shares”), will be converted into the right to receive 0.230 shares of common stock of PotlatchDeltic plus the rightto receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock of PotlatchDeltic (the "Merger Consideration"). Also at the effective time of the Partnership Merger, each of the issued and outstanding Common Units, other than those Common Units held by CatchMark Timber Trust, CatchMark Timber OP, PotlatchDeltic, Merger Sub, or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Excluded OP Units”), will automatically be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that (i) immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger, any and all outstanding issuance and forfeiture conditions on any Common Stock granted under CatchMark's equity incentive plans that is unvested or subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture will be deemed satisfied in full and on a fully vested basis (at maximum performance to the extent applicable), and such vested shares will automatically be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Company Merger effective time; (ii) immediately prior to the effective time of the Partnership Merger, each issued and outstanding unvested LTIP Unit will automatically become fully vested (at maximum performance, to the extent applicable) and, immediately after such vesting, each vested LTIP Unit that is eligible for conversion into a Common Unit will automatically convert into a Common Unit, which will automatically be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration at the Partnership Merger effective time.

In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, CatchMark employees may be entitled to receive severance payments if terminated within three months prior to, or within 12 months following, consummation of the Mergers, in accordance with CatchMark's Change in Control Severance Protection Plan, dated as of April 8, 2019 and amended as of April 6, 2022, or the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between CatchMark and Brian M.

Table of Contents
CatchMark has also agreed to various customary covenants and agreements, including, subject to certain exceptions, to conduct its business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business and in a manner consistent with past practice, during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Mergers.

The consummation of the Mergers are subject to certain closing conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Company Merger by CatchMark's stockholders. In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances by CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic, including if the Mergers have not been completed by November 29, 2022. Upon a termination of the Merger Agreement, under certain circumstances, CatchMark will be required to pay a termination fee to PotlatchDeltic of $19.4 million. CatchMark expects the Mergers to close in the third quarter of 2022.

This description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In connection with the Mergers, CatchMark has incurred legal, consulting, and other professional fees of $4.6 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, which was included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Approximately $3.2 million of the $4.6 million was accrued and included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of CatchMark have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

CatchMark’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CatchMark and any VIE in which CatchMark is deemed the primary beneficiary. With respect to entities that are not VIEs, CatchMark's consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of any entity in which CatchMark owns a controlling financial interest and any limited partnership in which CatchMark owns a controlling general partnership interest. In determining whether a controlling interest exists, CatchMark considers, among other factors, the ownership of voting interests, protective rights, and participatory rights of the investors. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and notes included in CatchMark’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Investments in Joint Ventures

For joint ventures that it does not control but exercises significant influence, CatchMark uses the equity method of accounting. CatchMark's judgment about its level of influence or control of an entity involves consideration of various factors including the form of its ownership interest; its representation in the entity's governance; its ability to participate in policy-making decisions; and the rights of other investors to participate in the decision-making process, to replace CatchMark as manager, and/or to liquidate the venture. Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture is recorded at cost and adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Income or loss and cash distributions from an unconsolidated joint venture are allocated according to the provisions of the respective joint venture agreement, which may be different from its stated ownership percentage. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on CatchMark’s balance sheets and the underlying equity in net assets on the joint venture’s balance sheets is adjusted as the related underlying assets are depreciated, amortized, or sold. Distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures are classified in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows using the cumulative earnings approach under which distributions received in an amount equal to cumulative equity in earnings are classified as cash inflows from operating activities and distributions received in excess of cumulative equity in earnings represent returns of investment and therefore are classified as cash inflows from investing activities.
11

Table of Contents

CatchMark evaluates the recoverability of its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in accordance with accounting standards for equity investments by first reviewing each investment for any indicators of impairment. If indicators are present, CatchMark estimates the fair value of the investment. If the carrying value of the investment is greater than the estimated fair value, management assesses whether the impairment is “temporary” or “other-than-temporary.” In making this assessment, management considers the following: (1) the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the entity, and (3) CatchMark’s intent and ability to retain its interest long enough for a recovery in market value. If management concludes that the impairment is "other than temporary," CatchMark reduces the investment to its estimated fair value.

For information on CatchMark’s unconsolidated joint ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, see Note 4 Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

Impairment Testing

ASC 360-10 requires impairment testing to be completed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. Examples of such circumstances for CatchMark include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in market price of the timber assets, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which timber assets are being used, or a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the timber assets. CatchMark monitors such events and changes in circumstances, and when indicators of potential impairment are present, evaluates if the carrying amounts of its timber assets exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of its timber assets (the "Recoverable Amount") and if the carrying amount exceeds the timber assets' fair value. The Recoverable Amount and fair value are estimated based on the following information in order of preference, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable assets, or (iii) the present value of undiscounted cash flows, including estimated salvage value, using data from one harvest cycle. CatchMark has determined that there has been no impairment to its timber assets as of September 30, 2021.

Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share equals basic earnings (loss) per common share, adjusted to reflect the dilution that would occur if all outstanding securities convertible into common shares or contracts to issue common shares were converted or exercisedexercised and the related proceeds are then used to repurchase common shares. The following table providesFor the reconciliation ofthree months and six months ended June 30, 2022, CatchMark's basic weighted-average common shares towere the same as the diluted weighted-average common shares for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic48,441 48,412 
Effect of potentially dilutive securities196 201 
Weighted-average common shares outstanding - diluted48,637 48,613 
Anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares52 37 

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021,as all potentially dilutive securities outstanding were anti-dilutive due to incurring a net loss for the respective period. Potentially dilutive securities included (i) unvested shares of service-based restricted stock and LTIP Units, and (ii) contingently issuable shares of performance-based restricted stock and LTIP Units asUnits. See Note 9 —Stock-based Compensation for details of September 30, 2021. Vested Common Units have been excluded from the computation of earnings per common share because all income attributable to the Common Units has been recorded as noncontrolling interest and excluded from net income attributable to common stockholders. All potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were anti-dilutive as a result of incurring net loss for each of the respective periods.

4.    Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

As of September 30, 2021, CatchMark owned interests in 2 joint ventures with unrelated parties: the Triple T Joint Venture and the Dawsonville Bluffs Joint Venture (each as defined and described below). CatchMark accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting. On October 14, 2021, CatchMark redeemed its interests in the Triple T Joint Venture (the "Triple T Exit"). See Note 10 — Subsequent Events for further details.

Triple T Joint Venture

During 2018, CatchMark formed TexMark Timber Treasury, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Triple T Joint Venture"), with a consortium of institutional investors (the "Preferred Investors") to acquire 1.1 million acres of high-quality East Texas industrial timberlands (the “Triple T Timberlands”), for $1.39 billion (the “Acquisition Price”), exclusive of transaction costs. The Triple T Joint Venture completed the acquisition of the Triple T Timberlands in July 2018. CatchMark invested $200.0 million in the Triple T Joint Venture, equal to 21.6% of the total equity contributions at that time, in exchange for a common limited partnership interest. CatchMark, through a separate wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiary, was the sole general partner of the Triple T Joint Venture.

On June 24, 2020, CatchMark invested an additional $5.0 million of equity on the same terms and conditions as its existing investment in the Triple T Joint Venture in connection with amendments to the joint venture agreement and asset management agreement. The amended asset management agreement increased the asset management fee payable to CatchMark as described below in Asset Management Fees. The amended joint venture agreement increased the 10.25% cumulative return on the Preferred Investors’ interests in the Triple T Joint Venture’s subsidiary REIT by 0.5% per quarter, subject to a maximum increase of 2.0% and subject to decreases in other circumstances. The proceeds of CatchMark’s additional $5.0 million investment, along with the proceeds from $140.0 million of borrowings under the Triple T Joint Venture’s secured, non-recourse credit facility, were used to make a payment of $145.0 million to GP in connection with an amendment to a wood supply agreement between the Triple T Joint Venture and GP.

CatchMark used the equity method to account for its investment in the Triple T Joint Venture since it did not possess the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Triple T Joint Venture, and accordingly, CatchMark did not possess the first characteristic of a primary beneficiary described in GAAP. CatchMark appointed 3 common board members of the Triple T Joint Venture, including its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Resources Officer and Vice President - Acquisitions, which provided CatchMark with significant influence over the Triple T Joint Venture. Accordingly, pursuant to the applicable accounting literature, it was appropriate for CatchMark to apply the equity method of accounting to its investment in the Triple T Joint Venture.

The Triple T Joint Venture agreement provided for liquidation rights and distribution priorities that were significantly different from CatchMark's stated ownership percentage based on total equity contributions. The Preferred Investors were entitled to a minimum cumulative return on their equity contributions, plus a complete return of their equity contributions before any distributions may be made on CatchMark’s common limited partnership interest. As such, CatchMark used the hypothetical-liquidation-at-book-value method (“HLBV”) to determine its equity in the earnings of the Triple T Joint Venture. The HLBV method is commonly applied to equity investments in real estate, where cash distribution percentages vary at different points in time and are not directly linked to an investor's ownership percentage. For investments accounted for under the HLBV method, applying the percentage ownership interest to
15

Table of Contents
GAAP net income in order to determine earnings or losses would not accurately represent the income allocation and cash flow distributions that will ultimately be received by the investors.

CatchMark applied HLBV using a balance sheet approach. A calculation was prepared at each balance sheet date to determine the amount that CatchMark would receive if the Triple T Joint Venture were to liquidate all of its assets (at book value in accordance with GAAP) on that date and distribute the proceeds to the partners based on the contractually-defined liquidation priorities. The difference between the calculated liquidation distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, was CatchMark's income or loss from the Triple T Joint Venture for the period.

On September 1, 2021, the Triple T Joint Venture sold 300,000 acres of its East Texas timberlands for $497 million, or approximately $1,656 per acre, to an entity that is a client of Hancock Natural Resource Group, Inc. (the "Hancock Disposition"). The Triple T Joint Venture's cost basis was $407.8 million and it recognized a gain of $78.8 million on the disposition. Despite the gain on the Hancock Disposition, CatchMark recognized no equity share of income from the Triple T Joint Venture for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to CatchMark's subordinated common limited partnership interest.

require maintenance of a FCCR of not less than 1.05:1.00 at any time; and

CatchMark was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.

7.     Commitments and Contingencies

Mahrt Timber Agreements

In connection with its acquisition of timberlands from WestRock in 2007, CatchMark entered into a master stumpage agreement and a fiber supply agreement (collectively, the “Mahrt Timber Agreements”) with a wholly-owned subsidiary of WestRock. The master stumpage agreement provides that CatchMark will sell specified amounts of timber and make available certain portions of our timberlands to CatchMark TRS for harvesting. The fiber supply agreement provides that WestRock will purchase a specified tonnage of timber from CatchMark TRS at specified prices per ton, depending upon the type of timber product. The prices for the timber purchased pursuant to the fiber supply agreement are negotiated every two years but are subject to quarterly market pricing adjustments based on an index published by TimberMart-South, a quarterly trade publication that reports raw forest product prices in 11 southern states. The initial term of the Mahrt Timber Agreements is October 9, 2007 through December 31, 2032, subject to extension and early termination provisions. The Mahrt Timber Agreements ensure a long-term source of supply of wood fiber products for WestRock in order to meet its paperboard and lumber production requirements at specified mills and provide CatchMark with a reliable customer for the wood products from its timberlands.

WestRock can terminate the Mahrt Timber Agreements prior to the expiration of the initial term if CatchMark replaces FRC as the forest manager without the prior written consent of WestRock, except pursuant to an internalization of the company's forestry management functions. CatchMark can terminate the Mahrt Timber Agreements if WestRock (i) ceases to operate the Mahrt mill for a period that exceeds 12 consecutive months, (ii) fails to purchase a specified tonnage of timber for two consecutive years, subject to certain limited exceptions or (iii) fails to make payments when due (and fails to cure within 30 days).

In addition, either party can terminate the Mahrt Timber Agreements if the other party commits a material breach (and fails to cure within 60 days) or becomes insolvent. In addition, the Mahrt Timber Agreements provide for adjustments to both parties' obligations in the event of a force majeure, which is defined to include, among other things, lightning, fires, storms, floods, infestation and other acts of God or nature.

For 2021,2022, WestRock is required to purchase, a minimum of 380,800 tons and we are committedrequired to make available for purchase byto WestRock, a minimum of 443,200371,100 tons of timber under the Mahrt Timber Agreements. For the ninesix months ended September June 30, 2021,2022, WestRock purchased 303,000169,000 tons under the Mahrt Timber Agreements, which represented 12%11% of CatchMark's net timber sales revenue.

Timberland Operating Agreements

Pursuant to the terms of the timberland operating agreement between CatchMark and FRC (the "FRC Timberland Operating Agreement"), FRC manages and operates certain of CatchMark's timberlands and related timber operations, including ensuring delivery of timber to WestRock in compliance with the Mahrt Timber Agreements. In consideration for rendering the services described in the timberland operating agreement, CatchMark pays FRC (i) a monthly management fee based on the actual acreage that FRC manages, which is payable monthly in advance, and (ii) an incentive fee based on timber harvest revenues generated by the timberlands, which is payable quarterly in arrears. The FRC Timberland Operating Agreement, as amended, is effective through March 31, 2022,2023, and is automatically

Litigation

From time to time, CatchMark may be a party to legal proceedings, claims, and administrative proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any reasonably possible loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. CatchMark records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, CatchMark accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, CatchMark accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, CatchMark discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, CatchMark discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. CatchMark does not disclose information with respect to litigation where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be remote.

As of August 2, 2022, 1 lawsuit has been filed by an alleged CatchMark is not currently involvedstockholder against CatchMark and members of CatchMark’s board of directors challenging the Mergers.

8.    Noncontrolling Interests

CatchMark Timber Trust is the general partner of CatchMark Timber OP and owns 99.76% of its Common Units directly and indirectly. The remaining 0.24% of the Common Units are owned by current and former officers and directors of CatchMark (the "Limited Partners").

CatchMark Timber OP issues LTIP Units to certain officers, directors, and employees of CatchMark. LTIP Units are a class of units structured to qualify as “profits interests” for federal income tax purposes that, subject to certain conditions, including vesting, are convertible by the holder into the Common Units. The LTIP Units initially have no value and are not at parity with the Common Units with respect to liquidating distributions. Regular and other non-liquidating distributions are made by CatchMark Timber OP with respect to unvested LTIP Units as provided in the applicable award agreement for such units. Upon the occurrence of specified events, the LTIP Units can over time achieve partial to full parity with the Common Units.

Vested LTIP Units that have achieved full parity with the Common Units are automatically converted into the Common Units on a 1-for-one basis. Vested LTIP Units that have not achieved full parity with the Common Units may convert into the Common Units on less than a 1-for-one basis based on relative capital accounts. Limited partners holding Common Units, including those converted from LTIP Units, have the option to cause CatchMark Timber OP to redeem such units after the units have been held for one year. Unless CatchMark Timber Trust exercises its right to purchase the Common Units in exchange for shares of Common Stock, CatchMark Timber OP would redeem each such unit with cash equal to the value of 1 share of Common Stock.

CatchMark recognizes noncontrolling interests associated with the Common Units held by the Limited Partners and the LTIP Units in an amount equal to the cumulative compensation cost of such units. Upon any forfeiture of the LTIP Units, the associated noncontrolling interests is reclassified to additional paid-in capital. Upon the conversion of the LTIP Units to Common Units, noncontrolling interests is adjusted so that the book value of each newly converted Common Unit equals the book value of an existing Common Unit. Noncontrolling interests is subsequently adjusted by allocations of earnings and distributions paid.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, CatchMark recognized $0.3 million and $0.3 million in stock-based compensation expense, respectively, related to the Common Units held by the Limited Partners and the LTIP Units as noncontrolling interests. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, CatchMark recognized $0.6 million and $0.5 million in stock-based compensation expense, respectively, related to the Common Units held by the Limited Partners and the LTIP Units as noncontrolling interests. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, no LTIP Units were converted to Common Units.

The 2021 Incentive Plan allows for the award of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, deferred stock units, performance awards, other stock-based awards, LTIP Units or any other right or interest relating to stock or cash to the employees, directors, and consultants of CatchMark or its affiliates.

Triple T Exit

On October 14, 2021, CatchMark entered into a recapitalization and redemption agreement with the Triple T Joint Venture and the preferred limited partners of Triple T Joint Venture for the redemption of CatchMark’s common equity interests in the Triple T Joint Venture in exchange for $35.0 million in cash (the “Triple T Exit”). The amended and restated asset management agreement between CatchMark and the Triple T Joint Venture was terminated and replaced by a transition services agreement, effective September 1, 2021 through March 2022, under which CatchMark will provide transition services in exchange for a service fee of $5.0 million, which will be recognized as asset management fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the transition services agreement.

Credit Agreement Amendment and Debt Repayments

On October 14, 2021, CatchMark further amended the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide for consent to the Triple T Exit and permit CatchMark to retain the net proceeds from higher-and-better use timberland sales until it exceeds 3% of the aggregate value of the timberlands before any repayment of the outstanding debt is required.

On October 15, 2021, CatchMark used the proceeds from the Triple T Exit of $35.0 million and the $5.0 million transition services fee to pay down $40.0 million of its outstanding debt balances as follows:

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I of this report, as well as our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Overview

We acquire and ownoperate prime timberlands located in high-demandleading U.S. mill markets. We manage our operations to generate highly predictable and stable cash flow from sustainable harvests, opportunistic land sales and asset management fees that covers our dividend throughout the business cycle. We actively manage our timberlands to achieve an optimum balance among biological timber growth, current harvest cash flow, and responsible environmental stewardship.

During the third quarter of 2021,period ended June 30, 2022, we realized significant net timber sales price increases in our U.S. South region, 8% for pulpwood and 11% for sawtimber as compared to the prior year quarter. As a result, we generated a 1% increase in U.S. South timber sales revenue despite an 11% decrease in harvest volumes due to persistent wet weather conditions and recent capital recycling dispositions. Our stumpage prices in the U.S. South region maintained significant premiums over South-wide averages, a result of our micro-market advantages, and our timberlands continue to maintain consistent productivity on a per-acre basis.

We continuously assess potential alternative uses of our timberlands, as some of our properties may be more valuable for development, conservation, recreational or other rural purposes than for growing timber. In the third quarter of 2021, we sold 1,000 acres of timberland for $2.1 million, or $2,029 per acre under our retail land sales program. Acres sold in the current quarter had lower average merchantable timber stocking than our portfolio average. When evaluating our land sale opportunities, we assess a full range of matters relating to the timberland property or properties, including, but not limited to inventory stocking below portfolio average, higher mix of hardwood inventory, sub-optimal productivity characteristics, geographical procurement and operating areas, and/or timber reservation opportunities.

We also continued to evaluate our portfolio for potential large dispositions under our capital recycling program whereby we sell blocks of timberland properties to generate proceeds to fund capital allocation priorities, including, but not limited to redeployment into more desirable timberland investments, paying down outstanding debt or repurchasing shares of our common stock. During the third quarter of 2021, we completed a large disposition of approximately 18,100 acres of prime Oregon timberlands, the Bandon Disposition, for $100.0 million, or $5,536 per acre, under our capital recycling program. The Bandon property was purchased in August 2018 for $88.8 million, or $4,916 per acre. We recognized a gain of $23.4 million on the Bandon Disposition and used net proceeds of $95.4 million to pay down outstanding debt. With the Bandon Disposition, we have concluded our capital recycling program involving large dispositions for now.

We generated significant asset management fee revenue through our investment management business. We recognized asset management fee revenue of $3.0 million during the quarter, including incentive-based promotes from the Dawsonville Bluffs Joint Venture, which had a mitigation bank with a book basis of $2.1 million as of September 30, 2021. In connection with the Triple T Exit, we entered into a transition services agreement pursuant to which we will continue to provide certain asset management services to the Triple T Joint Venture through the first quarter of 2022 in exchange for a $5 million service fee that was received on October 14, 2021.

We continue to execute our three-pillar strategy of owning and investing in prime timberlands located in leading mill markets, and optimizing harvest operations through delivered wood sales and opportunistic stumpage sales. FollowingAfter completing the Bandon Disposition,disposition of our Pacific Northwest timberlands and exiting the Triple T joint venture in the second half of 2021, we have further focusedrefocused our ownership and operations on the nation’s premier wood basket, the U.S. South, where we seekSouth. We have sought to expand our presence in superior mill markets where we already have strong local relationships to strengthen our industry-leading Harvest EBITDA per acre while maintaining stable merchantable inventory per acre. Our strategic investment opportunities include direct acquisitionDuring the second quarter of high-quality industrial2022, we acquired 1,300 acres of timberland properties with a target averagein Alabama for $2.2 million, exclusive of transaction size ranging from $5 million to $50 million and the development of new value creation opportunities such as carbon sequestration, wetlands mitigation banking, solar projects and other important environmental initiatives.

We continue to have ample liquidity for growth initiatives and other capital allocation priorities. Our active debt and interest rate management strategy provides us attractive borrowing costs and staggered maturities. On August 4, 2021, we amended our credit agreement to, among other things, (i) establish a $68.6 million revolver feature on Term Loan A-3 and (ii) extend the maturity date of the existing Revolving Credit Facility from December 1, 2022 to August 4, 2026. This amendment allows us to deleverage by using proceeds from the Bandon Disposition to pay down our debt while improving available debt capacity for future growth, to extend our weighted-average life of debt, and to continue to improve our overall liquidity. On October 14, 2021, we further amended our credit agreement under which we are allowed to retain need proceeds from higher-and-better use timberland sales until it exceeds 3% of the aggregate value of our timberlands before any repayment of the outstanding debt is required. In addition to the $95.4 million debt repayment with net proceeds from the Bandon Disposition, on October 15, 2021, we paid down an additional $40.0 million outstanding debt balance with proceeds received from the Triple T Exit and the transition services fees.costs.

Our U.S. South timber sales revenue decreased 10% during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the prior year period as a result of planned harvest volume reductions, offset by a 10% increase in average blended sales pricing. Our sawtimber stumpage price increased 21% while pulpwood stumpage price decreased 5% from the second quarter of 2021. Our U.S. South stumpage prices continued to maintain significant premiums over South-wide averages a result of our local market advantages.

In the second quarter of 2022, we sold 5,700 acres of timberland for $8.8 million, or $1,564 per acre, under our retail land sales program. Acres sold in the current quarter were comprised of approximately 46% pine plantation, which was significantly lower than our portfolio average.

During the thirdsecond quarter of 2021,2022, we paid $6.5$3.6 million of distributions to our stockholders, which were fully covered by net cash provided by operating activities. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stockCommon Stock under our SRP during the quarter.

Segment Information

We have three reportable segments: Harvest, Real Estate and Investment Management. Our Harvest segment includes wholly-owned timber assets and associated timber sales, other revenues and related expenses. Our Real Estate segment includes timberland sales, cost of timberland sales and large dispositions. Our Investment Management segment includes investments in and income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures and asset management fee revenues earned for the management of these joint ventures. General and administrative expenses, along with other expense and income items, are not allocated among segments. For additional information, see Note 910 — Segment Information to our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Timber AgreementsAgreements

A significant portion of our timber sales is derived from the Mahrt Timber Agreements under which we sell specified amounts of timber to WestRock subject to market pricing adjustments. For full year 2021,2022, WestRock is required to purchase a minimum of 380,800371,100 tons of timber under the Mahrt Timber Agreements. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, WestRock purchased 303,000169,000 tons under the Mahrt Timber Agreements, which represented 12%11% of our net timber sales revenue. WestRock has historically purchased tonnage that exceeded the minimum requirement under the Mahrt Timber Agreements. See Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the material terms of the Mahrt Timber Agreements.

We are party to a pulpwood supply agreement with IP (the "Carolinas Supply Agreement"). For full year 2021,2022, IP is required to purchase a minimum of 88,60050,000 tons of pulpwoodtimber under the Carolinas Supply Agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Table of Contents
Cash flows generated from our operations are primarily used to fund recurring expenditures and distributions to our stockholders. The amount of distributions to common stockholders is authorized by our board of directors and is
31

Table of Contents
dependent upon a number of factors, including funds deemed available for distribution based principally on our current and future projected operating cash flows, less capital requirements necessary to maintain our existing timberland portfolio. In determining the amount of distributions to common stockholders, we also consider our financial condition, our expectations of future sources of liquidity, current and future economic conditions, market demand for timber and timberlands, and tax considerations, including the annual distribution requirements necessary to maintain our status as a REIT under the Code.
In determining how to allocate cash resources in the future, we will initially consider the source of the cash. We anticipate using a portion of cash generated from operations, after payments of periodic operating expenses and interest expense, to fund certain capital expenditures required for our timberlands. Any remaining cash generated from operations may be used to pay distributions to stockholders and partially fund timberland acquisitions. Therefore, to the extent that cash flows from operations are lower, whether as a result of a reduction in anticipated harvest amounts or timber sales, decreases in asset management fees or distributions from joint ventures, or otherwise, timberland acquisitions and stockholder distributions are anticipated to be lower as well. Capital expenditures, including new timberland acquisitions, are generally funded with cash flow from operations or existing debt availability; however, proceeds from future debt financings, and equity and debt offerings may be used to fund capital expenditures, acquire new timberland properties, invest in joint ventures, and pay down existing and future borrowings. From time to time, we have also sellsold certain large timberland properties in order to generate capital to fund capital allocation priorities, including but not limited to redeployment into more desirable timberland investments, pay down of outstanding debt or repurchase of shares of our common stock. Common Stock. Such large dispositions are typically largernot part of core operations, are infrequent in sizenature, and more infrequentmay or may not have a higher or better use than salestimber production or result in a price premium above the land’s timber production value. Large timberland disposition opportunities under our normal land salescapital recycling program have been evaluated based in part on inventory stocking and mix profiles, productivity characteristics, geographical diversification and procurement and operating areas. We currently have no plans to complete additional large dispositions under our capital recycling program.

Shelf Registration Statement and Equity Offerings

On February 28, 2020, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236793) with the SEC, which was declared effective on May 7, 2020. Our shelf registration statement provides us with future flexibilitythe ability to offer, from time to time and in one or more offerings, up to $600 million in an undefined combination of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, or warrants. The terms of any such future offerings would be established at the time of an offering. On May 7, 2020, we entered into a distribution agreement with a group of sales agents relating to the sale from time to time of up to $75 million in shares of our common stockCommon Stock in at-the-market offerings or as otherwise agreed with the applicable sales agent, including in block transactions. These shares are registered with the SEC under our shelf registration statement. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we have not sold any shares of common stock under the distribution agreement.

On October 15, 2021, we paid down an additional $40.0 million of our debt balance with proceeds received from the Triple T Exit, bringing our total debt balance outstanding to $300.0 million.

Patronage Dividends

We are eligible to receive annual patronage dividends from our lenders, the Patronage Banks under the Amended Credit Agreement. The annual patronage dividend depends on the weighted-average patronage-eligible debt balance with each participating lender during the respective fiscal year, as calculated by CoBank, as well as the financial performance of the Patronage Banks.

In March 2021,2022, we received patronage dividends of $4.1$3.6 million including $3.9on our patronage eligible borrowings. Of the total patronage dividends received in March 2022, $3.5 million ofwas standard patronage dividends and a $0.2$0.1 million was special patronage dividend. 75%dividends. Approximately 87% of the standard patronage dividends was received in cash and the remaining 25%13% was received in equity of the Patronage Banks. The equity component of the patronage dividend is redeemable for cash only at the discretion of the Patronage Banks' board of directors. The special patronage dividend was received in cash. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we accrued $2.71.3 million of patronage dividends receivable for 2021,2022, approximately 75% to 85% of which is expected to be received in cash in March 2022.2023.

Debt Covenants

We were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.

Interest Rate Swaps

We believe that we have access to adequate liquidity and capital resources, including cash flow generated from operations, cash on-hand and borrowing capacity, necessary to meet our current and future obligations that become due over the next 12 months. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had a cash balance of $24.6$33.7 million and had access to $253.6 million of additional borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Long-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

OverWe expect the Mergers to close in the third quarter of 2022. In the event that the Mergers do not close or do not close in the timeframe currently contemplated, over the long-term, we expect our primary sources of capital to include net cash flows from operations, including proceeds from timber sales, timberland sales, revenues generated from environmental initiatives, and from other capital raising activities, including proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders; and public offerings of equity or debt securities. Our principal demands for capital include operating expenses, interest expense on any outstanding indebtedness, repayment of debt, timberland acquisitions, certain other capital expenditures, and stockholder distributions. Access to borrowing capacity under our Amended Credit Agreement depends on continued compliance with debt covenants, which can be impacted by any reduction in the value of our timberlands and reductions in cash flows from operations.

Distributions

Our board of directors has authorized cash distributions quarterly. The amount of future distributions that we may pay will be determined by our board of directors as described in Overview section above. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we declared the following distributions:

Our current quarter results reflected the impact from the Bandon Disposition closed in August 2021, where we recognized a gain of $23.4 million from the sale of approximately 18,100 acres of prime Oregon timberlands. As a result of this disposition, timber sales revenue, contract logging and hauling costs, and depletion derived fromExited the Pacific Northwest for the current year quarter were all significantly lower than the prior year quarter.in August 2021.

Our timber sales revenue totaled $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a $5.4 million decrease from the prior year quarter mainly due to a $3.7 million decrease as a result of selling our Pacific Northwest property

in August 2021 and a $1.7 million decrease in the U.S. South increased 1% as compared to the prior year quarter as a result of strong pricing in both pulpwood and sawtimber, despite an 11% reduction in harvest volume due to persistent wet weather conditions during the quarter. Our harvest volumes from the U.S. South, after taking into consideration the recent timberland salesplanned volume reduction and capital recycling dispositions, continues to reflect consistent productivity on a per-acre basis. lower mix of delivered sales.

Our realized stumpage pricesnet timber sales price increased 21% for sawtimber and decreased 5% for pulpwood, and sawtimber were 8% and 11% higher, respectively, compared tofrom the prior year quarter, and heldcontinued to hold a significant premium over TimberMart-South South-wide averages as a result of operating in strong micro-marketslocal markets where we selectively assembled our prime timberlands portfolio. Overall, we remain on track to meet our full year harvest plan for 2021 despite the Bandon Disposition.

ComparisonDuring the second quarter of 2022, we generated $8.8 million of timberland sales revenue.

Comparison of the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 versus the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021

Revenues. RevenuesRevenues for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 were $22.1$24.6 million $2.5, $7.4 million lower than the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as a result of a $2.2$5.4 million decrease in timber sales and a $0.3$3.1 million decrease in asset management fees, offset by a $1.2 million increase in timberland sales revenue. Timber sales revenue was lower in the current year quarter due to a $3.7 million decrease that resulted from the disposition of our Pacific Northwest property in August 2021 and a $1.7 million decrease in timberland sales revenue. Timber sales revenue from the Pacific Northwest decreased $2.3 million due to the Bandon Disposition while staying consistent in the U.S. South.South, driven by a 19% decrease in harvest volume, as planned. Timberland sales revenue decreasedincreased due to selling fewer acres.more acres in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the prior year period. Timberland sales price per acre was 10% lower than the prior year period due to current quarter sales having lower productivity characteristics, primarily a significantly lower percentage of pine plantations. Acres sold in the current period also had an averagea lower average merchantable timber stocking of 32 tons per acre which was lower than our portfolio average of 4139 tons per acre.acre at the beginning of the year. Asset management fees decreased as a result of exiting Triple T in 2021.

Operating Expenses. Contract logging and hauling costs were $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, $1.0 million lower than prior year period, primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in the Pacific Northwest, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in the U.S. South. Our blended logging rates in the U.S. South increased 6% compared to the prior year quarter primarily as a result of higher fuel and labor costs as well as more swamp logging activities in the current year quarter. However, these increased costs were largely offset by higher negotiated delivered wood sales prices, which allowed us to maintain stumpage values.

Depletion expense was $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, $2.7 million lower than the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to a $1.4 million decrease in the U.S. South as a result of lower harvest volume due to persistent wet weather and a $1.3 million decrease in the Pacific Northwest as a result of the Bandon Disposition in August 2021.

Cost of timberland sales decreased to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to selling fewer acres and lower per-acre cost basis as the acres sold in the current quarter were held for a longer period.
General and administrative expenses were $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, $0.2 million higher than prior year period primarily due to higher noncash stock-based compensation expense.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $0.3 million to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to a lower weighted-average outstanding debt balance, and a $0.1 million decrease in amortization of the off-market swap value in the current year period.

Gain on large dispositions. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a gain of $23.4 million from the disposition of 18,100 acres of our wholly-owned timberlands. We did not complete any large dispositions in same period of the prior year.

Income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures. We did not recognize additional losses from the Triple T Joint Venture in the third quarter of 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized a $2.7 million HLBV loss from the Triple T Joint Venture and $0.4 million of income from the Dawsonville Bluffs Joint Venture.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $23.3 million of net income, as compared to a $4.1 million net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to a $23.4 million increase in gain on large dispositions, a $4.0 million decrease in total expenses, a $2.3 million decrease in loss recognized from the unconsolidated joint ventures, and a $0.3 million decrease in interest expense, offset by a $2.5 million decrease in total revenue. Our net income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.48 as compared to a net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2020 of $0.09.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2020

Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $81.7 million, $8.4 million higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as a result of a $3.7 million increase in timber sales, a $4.2 million increase in timberland sales revenue, and a $0.4 million increase in asset management fees. Timber sales revenue increased primarily due to improved pricing across the board and higher harvest volume in the Pacific Northwest prior to its disposition in August 2021. Timberland sales revenue increased by 48% due to selling 37% more acres at a higher average per-acre price as as a result of favorable market conditions in 2021. Acres sold in the current period had lower average merchantable timber stocking than our portfolio average. Acres sold in the current period had an average merchantable timber stocking of 20 tons per acre which was lower than our portfolio average of 41 tons per acre.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2022 versus the six months ended June 30, 2021

Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $51.5 million, $8.1 million lower than the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of a $7.9 million decrease in timber sales and a $0.5$4.0 million decrease in asset management fees, offset by a $3.9 million increase in timberland sales revenue. Timber sales revenue was lower in the current year period due to a $8.7 million decrease that resulted from the disposition of our Pacific Northwest property in August 2021, offset by a $0.8 million increase in the U.S. South, driven by higher net timber sales prices. Timberland sales revenue increased by 35% due to selling more acres in the current year period, as planned. Timberland sales price per acre was 8% lower than the prior year period due to current quarter sales having lower productivity characteristics, primarily a significantly lower percentage of pine plantations. Acres sold in the current period also had a lower average merchantable timber stocking than our portfolio average of 39 tons per acre at the beginning of the year. Asset management fees decreased as a result of exiting Triple T in 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA

The discussion below is intended to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operating performance and ability to satisfy lender requirements. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance. EBITDA is defined by the SEC as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; however, we have excluded certain other expenses which we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of our timberland portfolio, and we refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA (see the reconciliation table below). As such, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Due to the significant amount of timber assets subject to depletion,depletion, significant income (losses) from unconsolidated joint ventures based on HLBV, and the significant amount of financing subject to interest and amortization expense, management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure of our financial performance. By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with the reconciliation below, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our ongoing results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for net income, cash flow from operations, or other financial statement data presented in accordance with GAAP in our consolidated financial statements as indicators of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, or our future requirements for capital expenditures;

35

Table of Contents
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on, our debt;

Although depletion is a non-cash charge, we will incur expenses to replace the timber being depleted in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all cash requirements for such expenses; and

Although HLBV income and losses are primarily hypothetical and non-cash in nature, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash income or losses from unconsolidated joint ventures for which we use the HLBV method of accounting to determine our equity in earnings.

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to fund post-employment benefits or transaction costs related to acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or new business initiatives, which may be substantial.

Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Our Amended Credit Agreement contains a minimum debt service coverage ratio based, in part, on Adjusted EBITDA since this measure is representative of adjusted income available for interest payments. We further believe that our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measurement provides information that is useful to analysts and investors because they are important indicators of the strength of our operations and the performance of our business.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $9.9$13.7 million, a $2.5$3.9 million decrease from the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 primarily due to a $1.2$3.1 million decrease in asset management fee revenues and a $2.9 million decrease in net timber sales, revenue,offset by a $0.6 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA generated by the Dawsonville Bluffs Joint Venture, a $0.3 million decrease in net timberland sales, and a $0.3 million increase in other operating expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was $40.4 million, a $5.7 million increase from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to a $4.1$1.3 million increase in net timberland sales, a $1.4$0.3 million decrease in other operating expense, a $0.2 million decrease in forestry management expense, and a $0.2 million increase in net timber sales revenue,Adjusted EBITDA generated by Dawsonville Bluffs.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a result of our debt facilities, we are exposed to interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we have entered into interest rate swaps, and may enter into other interest rate swaps, caps, or other arrangements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes; however, certain of our derivatives may not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. All of our debt was entered into for other than trading purposes. We manage our ratio of fixed-to-floating-rate debt with the objective of achieving a mix that we believe is appropriate in light of anticipated changes in interest rates. We closely monitor interest rates and will continue to consider the sources and terms of our borrowing facilities to determine whether we have appropriately guarded ourselves against the risk of increasing interest rates in future periods.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had following debt balances outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement:

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods in SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our teams have been working partially remote since the middle of March 2020. We took precautionary measures to ensure our internal control over financial reporting addressed the risks of

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business.

On August 2, 2022, a purported stockholder filed a putative stockholder class action against CatchMark Timber Trust and the members of our board of directors. The lawsuit is captioned Bell v. CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc., et al., No. 1:22-CV-06548, and is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

In general, the complaint alleges, among other things, that the merger consideration is inadequate, that the process culminating in the Mergers was flawed, that our directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Mergers, and that we aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint also alleges that the proxy statement filed in connection with the Mergers was a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement on Form S-4 that failed to disclose certain allegedly material information in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder.

The alleged omissions in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed in connection with the Mergers relate to, among other things, (i) information concerning the sales process conducted by CatchMark Timber Trust and the events leading up to the execution of the merger agreement; (ii) certain financial projections and GAAP reconciliations for CatchMark Timber Trust and PotlatchDeltic; and (iii) certain financial analyses performed by our financial advisor. The plaintiff seeks to enjoin CatchMark Timber Trust and our board of directors from proceeding with the Mergers and seeks damages in the event the Mergers are consummated.

We are reviewing the complaint and have not currently involvedyet formally responded to it, but we believe that plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance regarding the likelihood that our defense of the action will be successful. Additional lawsuits arising out of the Mergers may also be filed in any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.future.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

There are no material changes fromIn addition to the riskother information set forth in this report, an investor should carefully consider the factors includeddiscussed below and those discussed in Part I, Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents
2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks, as described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems immaterial also may materially, adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

Risks Related to the Mergers

The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in either CatchMark’s or PotlatchDeltic’s stock price.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the respective Mergers, each outstanding share of Common Stock and each Common Unit (other than Common Stock and Common Units owned by CatchMark Timber Trust, CatchMark Timber OP, PotlatchDeltic, Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries, which will be canceled) will be converted into the right to receive 0.230 shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock. This exchange ratio of 0.230 was fixed in the Merger Agreement and will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of either shares of Common Stock or shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing. Changes in the price of shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock prior to completion of the Mergers will affect the market value of the Merger Consideration that CatchMark stockholders and holders of Common Units will receive upon completion of the Mergers. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors (many of which are beyond the control of CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic), including the following factors:

market reaction to the announcement of the Mergers and the prospects of the combined company;
changes in the respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities and prospects of CatchMark, PotlatchDeltic or the combined company;
changes in market assessments of the business, operations, financial position and prospects of CatchMark, PotlatchDeltic or the combined company;
investor behavior and strategies;
market assessments of the likelihood that the Mergers will close;
interest rates, general market and economic conditions and other factors generally affecting the market prices of Common Stock and PotlatchDeltic common stock;
federal, state and local legislation, governmental regulation, tariffs, quotas and trade agreements, and legal developments in the businesses in which CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic operate; and
other factors beyond the control of CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic, including those described or referred to elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section.

The market price of shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock at the closing of the Mergers may vary from its price on the date the Merger Agreement was executed and on the date of the special meeting of CatchMark’s stockholders. As a result, the market value represented by the exchange ratio will also vary. Accordingly, at the time of the CatchMark special meeting of stockholders, CatchMark stockholders will not know or be able to determine the market value of the consideration they will receive upon completion of the Company Merger.

Failure to complete the Mergers could negatively impact the stock prices and the future business and financial results of CatchMark.

If the Mergers are not completed, the ongoing business of CatchMark may be adversely affected and CatchMark will be subject to several risks without realizing any of the benefits of having the Mergers completed, including the following:

the market price of Common Stock could decline;
restrictions on the conduct of CatchMark’s business during the period between the day the Merger Agreement was executed and termination of the Merger Agreement may adversely affect its ability to execute certain business strategies;
40

Table of Contents
CatchMark may experience negative reactions from the financial markets or from its customers, suppliers or employees;
CatchMark may be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Mergers or to enforcement proceedings commenced against CatchMark to perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement;
the focus of CatchMark’s management on the Mergers instead of other opportunities could adversely affect CatchMark’s business; and
if the Merger Agreement is terminated and the CatchMark board of directors seeks another business combination, CatchMark stockholders cannot be certain that CatchMark will be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms equivalent to or more attractive than the terms that PotlatchDeltic has agreed to in the Merger Agreement.

In addition, if the Mergers are not completed, CatchMark may be required under certain circumstances to pay to PotlatchDeltic a termination fee of up to $19.4 million.

Any delay in completing the Mergers, which are subject to a number of conditions, some of which are outside of the parties’ control, may reduce or eliminate the expected benefits from the transaction.

In addition to approval of the Company Merger by CatchMark stockholders, the Mergers are subject to a number of other conditions beyond the parties’ control that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect the completion of the transaction. CatchMark cannot predict whether and when these other conditions will be satisfied. Furthermore, the requirement to obtain the required CatchMark stockholder approval could delay the completion of the Mergers for a significant period of time or prevent the transaction from occurring. Any delay in completing the Mergers could cause the combined company not to realize some or all of the synergies and other benefits that it expects to achieve if the Mergers are successfully completed within its expected time frame. The Merger Agreement contains certain restrictions on the conduct of the parties’ business. If the Mergers are delayed, these restrictions could adversely affect our ability to execute business strategies or pursue attractive business opportunities. In addition, a delay could cause our management to focus on completion of the Mergers instead of on other opportunities that could be beneficial to CatchMark or the combined company.

In addition, if the Mergers are not completed by November 29, 2022, either CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic may choose to terminate the Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions. CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic may also choose to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances, and the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the completion of the Mergers, before or after the CatchMark stockholder approval has been obtained.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquiror of CatchMark or could result in any competing proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CatchMark has agreed not to (i) solicit proposals relating to certain alternative transactions, (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations or provide non-public information in connection with any proposal for an alternative transaction from a third party or (iii) approve or enter into any agreements providing for any such alternative transaction, in each case, subject to certain exceptions to permit members of the CatchMark board of directors to comply with their duties as directors under applicable law. Notwithstanding these “no-shop” restrictions, prior to obtaining the CatchMark stockholder approval, under specified circumstances the CatchMark board of directors may change its recommendation of the transaction, and CatchMark may also terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal upon payment of the termination fee described below.

The Merger Agreement provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, CatchMark may be required to pay to PotlatchDeltic a termination fee of $19.4 million.

These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of CatchMark from considering or proposing an acquisition, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share cash or market value than that market value proposed to be received or realized in the Mergers, or might result in a potential competing acquiror proposing to pay a lower price than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances.

41

Table of Contents
If the Merger Agreement is terminated and CatchMark determines to seek another business combination, CatchMark may not be able to negotiate a transaction with another party on terms comparable to, or better than, the terms of the Mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Mergers will involve substantial costs.

CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic have incurred and expect to continue to incur substantial costs and expenses relating directly to the Mergers and the issuance of PotlatchDeltic shares in connection with the Mergers, including fees and expenses payable to financial advisors, other professional fees and expenses, insurance premium costs, SEC filing fees, printing and mailing costs and other transaction-related costs, fees and expenses. Through June 30, 2022, CatchMark has incurred legal, consulting, and other professional fees of $4.6 million, and will incur additional fees and expenses prior to the completion of the Mergers. PotlatchDeltic also will incur transaction fees and costs related to formulating and implementing integration plans, including facilities and systems consolidation costs, employment-related costs, and a cash gross-up payment, subject to a cap, to the holders of Partnership OP Units to satisfy income tax liabilities associated with receiving shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock as consideration in connection with the Partnership Merger if elected by PotlatchDeltic. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the Mergers and the integration of the two companies’ businesses. These expenses could, particularly in the near term, exceed the expected savings from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale and cost savings and synergies related to the integration of the businesses following the completion of the Mergers. These integration expenses likely will result in the combined company taking significant charges against earnings following the completion of the Mergers, but the amount and timing of such charges are uncertain at present.

Shareholder litigation could negatively affect our business and operations.

Stockholder class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into merger agreements. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, one putative stockholder class action lawsuit has been filed against us and our board of directors in connection with the Mergers. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the merger consideration is inadequate, that the process culminating in the Mergers was flawed, that our directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Mergers, and that we aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty. The lawsuit also alleges that the proxy statement filed in connection with the Mergers was a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement on Form S-4 filed in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. The lawsuit seeks to enjoin the Mergers and other relief.

We believe that the claims in the complaint are without merit. Additional lawsuits arising out of the Mergers may be filed in the future. The outcome of this lawsuit or any other lawsuit that may be filed challenging the Mergers is uncertain, including the amount of costs associated with defending claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with such litigation. One of the conditions to the closing of the Mergers is that no governmental authority has issued or entered any order at or prior to the closing of the Mergers having the effect of enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers. Accordingly, if this lawsuit or any future lawsuit is successful in obtaining any order enjoining consummation of the Mergers, then such order may prevent the Mergers from being consummated, or from being consummated within the expected time frame, and could result in substantial costs to us, including but not limited to, costs associated with the indemnification of directors and officers. Any such injunction or delay in the Mergers being completed may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Uncertainty due to the pendency of the Mergers could adversely affect the business and operations of CatchMark or the combined company.

In connection with the pendency of the Mergers, some customers, suppliers, or other entities with whom we have a business relationship may delay or defer decisions, which could negatively impact our revenues, earnings, and cash flows, as well as the market price of our shares, regardless of whether the Mergers are completed. In addition, customers or suppliers may cease doing business with us or the combined company in anticipation of or following the Mergers or may change the terms and conditions upon which they are willing to continue to do business. In addition, current or prospective competitors of CatchMark or the combined company may seek to take advantage of potential uncertainty or disruption resulting from the Mergers to interfere with relationships with customers, suppliers, or employees.

CatchMark stockholders will be diluted by the Mergers.
42

Table of Contents

The Mergers will result in CatchMark stockholders having an ownership stake in the combined company that is smaller than their current stake in CatchMark. Immediately after the Mergers are completed, it is expected that current PotlatchDeltic stockholders will own approximately 86% of the outstanding shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock and current CatchMark stockholders will own approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock on a fully diluted basis. Consequently, CatchMark stockholders, as a general matter, will have less influence over the management and policies of the combined company after the effective time of the Company Merger than they currently exercise over the management and policies of CatchMark.

Some of the directors and named executive officers of CatchMark have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, those of the other CatchMark stockholders.

In considering whether to approve the Company Merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, CatchMark stockholders should recognize that members of CatchMark management and board of directors have interests in the Mergers that differ from, or are in addition to, the interests of other CatchMark stockholders. Some of the directors and named executive officers of CatchMark have arrangements that provide them with interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, those of the CatchMark stockholders, generally. These interests include, among other things, a severance payment if terminated upon, or following, consummation of the Mergers, treatment of outstanding CatchMark equity awards in connection with the transaction, rights to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage, and a cash gross-up payment, subject to a cap, to the holders of the Partnership OP Units to satisfy income tax liabilities associated with receiving shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock as consideration. These interests, among other things, may influence or may have influenced the directors and named executive officers of CatchMark to support or approve the Mergers.

If the Company Merger does not qualify as a reorganization, there may be adverse tax consequences.

The Company Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. It is a condition to the completion of the Mergers that each of CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic receives a written opinion from its respective counsel to the effect that the Company Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The foregoing opinions, however, are limited to the factual representations provided by CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic to counsel and the assumptions set forth therein and are not a guarantee that the Company Merger, in fact, will qualify as a reorganization. Moreover, neither CatchMark nor PotlatchDeltic has requested or plans to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that the Company Merger qualifies as a reorganization. If the Company Merger were to fail to qualify as a reorganization, then each holder of Common Stock generally would recognize gain or loss, as applicable, equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock received by such holder; and (ii) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Common Stock.

Risks Related to the Combined Company Following the Mergers

The combined company may incur adverse tax consequences if either CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic has failed or fails to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Each of CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic has operated in a manner that it believes has allowed it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code and intends to continue to do so through and (with respect to PotlatchDeltic) following the Mergers. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within the control of either of CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic, as applicable, may affect its ability to qualify as a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, each of CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic must satisfy a number of requirements, particularly relating to the nature of its assets and its income. A REIT must also make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding any capital gains. If PotlatchDeltic has failed or fails to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Mergers are completed, the combined company may have significant tax liabilities. Additionally, if CatchMark has failed or fails to qualify as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes and the Mergers are completed, PotlatchDeltic may inherit significant tax liabilities and could lose its REIT status. A failure of either CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic to qualify as a REIT could impair the combined company’s ability after the merger to expand its business and raise capital, and could materially adversely affect the value of PotlatchDeltic common stock.

43

Table of Contents
Following the Mergers, the combined company may be unable to integrate successfully the businesses of CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic and realize the anticipated benefits of the Mergers.

The Mergers involve the combination of two companies which currently operate as independent public companies. The combined company will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating its business practices and operations. The combined company may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the Mergers if the integration process takes longer than expected or is more costly than expected. Potential difficulties the combined company may encounter in the integration process include the following:

the inability to successfully combine the businesses of the two companies in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve the cost savings and synergies anticipated to result from the Mergers, which would result in the anticipated benefits of the Mergers not being realized partly or wholly in the time frame currently anticipated or at all;
lost sales and customers as a result of certain customers of either of the two companies deciding not to do business with the combined company;
complexities associated with managing the combined businesses;
integrating personnel from the two companies;
creation of uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems; and
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the Mergers.

In addition, CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic have operated and, until the completion of the Mergers, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the diversion of each company’s management’s attention, the disruption or interruption of, or the loss of momentum in, each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect the companies’ ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and employees or the companies’ ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Mergers, or could reduce the earnings or otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company.

PotlatchDeltic’s stock price may be negatively impacted by risks and conditions that apply to PotlatchDeltic, which are different from the risks and conditions applicable to CatchMark.

Upon completion of the Mergers, holders of shares of Common Stock and Partnership OP Units will become holders of shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock. The businesses of PotlatchDeltic differ from those of CatchMark in important respects and, accordingly, the results of operations of PotlatchDeltic after the Mergers are completed, as well as the market price of shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock, may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting or that have historically affected the independent results of operations of CatchMark.

Uncertainties associated with the Mergers may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees of CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic, which could adversely affect the future business and operations of the combined company following the Mergers.

CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of their officers and other key employees to execute their business plans and conduct operations. The combined company’s success after the Mergers will depend in part upon its ability to retain key management personnel and other key employees of CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic. Current and prospective employees of CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company following the Mergers, which may materially adversely affect the ability of each of CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Mergers. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the combined company will be able to retain key management personnel and other key employees of CatchMark and PotlatchDeltic.

The combined company’s future results will suffer if it does not effectively manage its expanded operations following the completion of the Mergers.

Following the completion of the Mergers, the size of the business of the combined company will increase significantly beyond the current size of either CatchMark’s or PotlatchDeltic’s current businesses. In addition, the combined company may continue to expand its operations through additional acquisitions or other strategic
44

Table of Contents
transactions. The combined company’s future success depends, in part, upon its ability to manage its expanded business, which may pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that the combined company will be successful or that it will realize the expected economies of scale, synergies and other benefits currently anticipated from the Mergers or anticipated from any additional acquisitions or strategic transactions.

The dividends paid by the combined company may be less than the rates currently paid by CatchMark or PotlatchDeltic.

Following the Mergers, CatchMark stockholders may not receive dividends at the same rate they received dividends as CatchMark stockholders before the Mergers, for reasons that may include any of the following factors:

the combined company may not have enough cash to pay such dividends due to changes in the combined company’s cash requirements, capital spending plans, cash flow or financial position;
the Mergers may not be as accretive as currently expected, which could negatively impact the combined company’s cash available for distribution;
the combined company may desire to retain cash to maintain or improve its credit ratings; and
the actual amount of dividends distributed and the decision to make any distribution will remain at all times entirely at the discretion of the combined company board of directors.
