SEATTLE, March 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) (“Weyerhaeuser,” “we” or “our”) today announced the early results of its previously announced cash tender offers (each, an “Offer” and collectively, the “Offers”) for its validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) notes set forth below (the “Notes”). In connection therewith, Weyerhaeuser further announced that it is amending the Offers to increase the maximum aggregate purchase price, not including accrued and unpaid interest, payable in respect of the Notes (the “Offer Cap”) from the previously announced amount of $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion. The Offers are being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, dated February 23, 2022, as amended by this press release (the “Offer to Purchase”), which sets forth a description of the terms of the Offers. Except for the increase in the Offer Cap as described in this press release, no other terms of the Offers have changed.

The following table sets forth the aggregate principal amount tendered of the Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offers as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 8, 2022 (the “Early Tender Time”). Withdrawal rights for the Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 8, 2022 (the “Withdrawal Deadline”), and, accordingly, any Notes that were validly tendered in the Offers may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

(1) Weyerhaeuser is offering to accept the maximum principal amount of validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) Notes in the Offer for which the aggregate purchase price, not including accrued and unpaid interest, does not exceed $1.2 billion using a “waterfall” methodology under which Weyerhaeuser will accept the Notes in order of their respective acceptance priority levels noted in the table above (the “Acceptance Priority Levels”).

(2) The applicable page on Bloomberg from which the Lead Dealer Managers (as defined below) for the Offers will quote the bid side prices of the applicable Reference Treasury Security (as defined below) is FIT1. The Total Consideration (as defined below) for Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to or at the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase is calculated using the applicable fixed spread as described in the Offer to Purchase. The Early Tender Premium (as defined below) of $50 per $1,000 principal amount is included in the Total Consideration for each series of Notes set forth above and does not constitute an additional or increased payment. Holders of Notes will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Notes accepted for purchase up to, but excluding, March 10, 2022 (the “Early Settlement Date”).

(3) Denotes a series of Notes for which the Notes were issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The remaining series of Notes were issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

* Denotes a series of Notes for which the calculation of the applicable Total Consideration may be performed, subject to market practice, using the present value of such Notes as determined at the Price Determination Time (as defined below), as if the principal amount of Notes had been due on the applicable Par Call Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) of such series rather than the maturity date.

The consideration to be paid for the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will be determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 9, 2022 (the “Price Determination Time”), in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to a fixed spread for each of the Notes over the applicable yield to maturity of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security (the “Reference Treasury Security”) specified in the table above and on the cover page of the Offer to Purchase in the column entitled “Reference U.S. Treasury Security.” Each holder who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw its Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable “Total Consideration,” which includes an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes so tendered and accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). The Early Tender Premium will be included in the Total Consideration for each series of Notes, and will not constitute an additional or increased payment. In addition, in each case, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest on their Notes up to, but excluding, the Early Settlement Date, payable on the Early Settlement Date. None of the Offers is conditioned on any of the other Offers or upon any minimum principal amount of Notes of any series being tendered.

Weyerhaeuser expects to issue a press release on March 9, 2022 announcing the Total Consideration payable in connection with the Offers.

Weyerhaeuser expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to: (i) terminate any or all of the Offers and not accept for purchase any of the Notes not theretofore accepted for purchase in the terminated Offer or Offers; (ii) waive any and all of the conditions to the Offers on or prior to the time the Notes are accepted for purchase in any or all of the Offers; (iii) accept for purchase and pay for all Notes validly tendered at or before the Early Tender Time and not validly withdrawn at or before the Withdrawal Deadline in any or all of the Offers; (iv) to keep any or all of the Offers open or extend the Early Tender Time, Withdrawal Deadline or time in which the Offers are scheduled to expire to a later date and time; (v) increase or decrease the Offer Cap or change the Acceptance Priority Levels; or (vi) otherwise amend the terms and conditions of the Offers.

No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.

This news release contains statements concerning our future results and performance and other matters that are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements use forward-looking terminology; are based on our current expectations and various assumptions we make; and may not be accurate because of risks and uncertainties surrounding the realization of our expectations and the assumptions that we make. Factors listed in this section—as well as other factors not described—may cause our actual results to differ significantly from our forward-looking statements. It is not possible to predict or identify all risks and uncertainties that might affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and, consequently, our descriptions of such risks and uncertainties should not be considered exhaustive. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by our forward-looking statements will occur, or if any of the events occur, there is no guarantee what effect they will have on our operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, contained in any document after the date of such document, unless required by law. Some forward-looking statements discuss our plans, strategies and intentions. They often involve use of words such as expects, may, should, will, believes, anticipates, estimates, projects, intends, plans, targets or approximately, or similar words or terminology.
