REAL ESTATE DIVESTITURE
On June 16, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives with respect to Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO), our homebuilding and real estate development business. The Board indicated that it intended to consider a broad range of alternatives including, but not limited to, continuing to operate WRECO, or a merger, sale or spin-off of the business.
On November 4, 2013, we announced that we had entered into a transaction agreement dated as of November 3, 2013 with TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (TRI Pointe). Pursuant to the transaction agreement, WRECO will be divested through a Reverse Morris Trust transaction and ultimately become a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe.
We expect the transaction to close early in third quarter 2014.
