Other Events On September 15, 1999, Weyerhaeuser Company issued a press release stating the following: "FEDERAL WAY, Wash.-Weyerhaeuser Company, North America's third largest forest products company, today said that it intends to account for the acquisition of MacMillan Bloedel Limited using the purchase method of accounting rather than pooling-of-interests. The decision is a result of discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission on how to account for the acquisition. Even with the change to purchase accounting, Weyerhaeuser expects the transaction to have an immediate positive effect on earnings. The use of purchase accounting increases Weyerhaeuser's flexibility in managing its capital structure and using future cash flows following completion of the acquisition. Weyerhaeuser said this change is not expected to delay the closing of the transaction. Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY), one of the world's largest integrated forest products companies, was incorporated in 1900. In 1998, sales were $10.8 billion. It has offices or operations in 12 countries, with customers worldwide. Weyerhaeuser is principally engaged in the growing and harvesting of timber; the manufacture, distribution and sale of forest products; and real estate construction, development and related activities. MacMillan Bloedel (TSE: MB; NASDAQ: MMBL) is one of Canada's largest forest products companies with integrated operations in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The products of MacMillan Bloedel and its affiliate companies are marketed throughout the world and include lumber, panelboard, engineered lumber, containerboard and corrugated containers."
