BOISE CASCADE COMPANY ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF EXCHANGE OFFER FOR ITS 6 3/8% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2020

BOISE, Idaho – Boise Cascade Company (NYSE: BCC) (“Boise Cascade”) today announced that it has commenced an offer to exchange any and all of its outstanding $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6 3/8% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Outstanding Notes”) for a like principal amount of new 6 3/8% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Exchange Notes”). The exchange offer has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Boise Cascade will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.
