New Benefits Protection Trust Agreement

On November 29, 2023, PotlatchDeltic Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the PotlatchDeltic Corporation Benefits Protection Trust Agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), effective January 1, 2024 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company appointed the Trustee as trustee of the PotlatchDeltic Corporation Benefits Protection Trust (the “Trust”). The Agreement replaces the PotlatchDeltic Corporation Benefits Protection Trust Agreement, as amended and restated effective September 1, 2018, between the Company and Delaware Charter Guarantee & Trust Company DBA Principal Trust Company (successor in interest to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as trustee.

The Trust is a grantor trust that was established to hold assets contributed by the Company which will be used to pay benefits under certain of the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plans, programs, policies and contracts, including certain severance and special termination agreements (the “Plans”). The purpose of the Agreement is to support the Company's obligation to pay certain benefits to the Plans’ participants and beneficiaries, including upon a change of control of the Company.
