Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events
On September 16, 2019, Weyerhaeuser Company issued a press release announcing that it has entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell its 555,000 acres of Michigan timberlands to Lyme Great Lakes Holding LLC, an affiliate of The Lyme Timber Company LP, for $300 million in cash. The company expects to recognize a gain on the sale and anticipates no tax liability in connection with the transaction. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Forward Looking Statements
Statements in this current report on Form 8-K and the exhibit filed herewith concerning the expected occurrence, timing and tax implications of Weyerhaeuser’s sale of its Michigan timberlands, and any other statements in this report and in any exhibit filed herewith, other than historical facts, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, are based on current expectations and involve and are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Weyerhaeuser may not be able to complete the sale of its Michigan timberlands within the stated time period, or at all, because of a number of factors, including without limitation: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to a termination of the transaction under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement or the failure to satisfy other closing conditions. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by these forward-looking statements will occur. If any of the events occur, there is no guarantee what effect they will have on company operations or financial condition. The company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements after the date of this report.
