On March 2, 2009, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (“LP”) announced that it has commenced a consent solicitation with respect to proposed amendments to the indenture governing its 8.875% Senior Notes Due 2010 (the “Notes”). The proposed amendments would delete certain restrictive covenants from the indenture governing the Notes that presently restrict the ability of (i) LP to incur liens and security interests on its properties and assets and to enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (ii) the LP’s unrestricted subsidiaries to become restricted subsidiaries; and (iii) LP to merge or consolidate with or into any other person or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other person unless certain conditions are satisfied.
LP’s press release relating to the matters discussed above is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
