Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 14, 2014, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (“LP”) and Ainsworth Lumber Co. Ltd. (“Ainsworth”) announced the mutual termination of their Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”), dated September 4, 2014, which had provided for an arrangement under British Columbia law whereby a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company would have acquired all of the outstanding shares of Ainsworth capital stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Transaction”). The termination followed the determination by LP and Ainsworth that the regulatory approvals required to complete the Transaction could not be obtained without divestitures significantly beyond those contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement without engaging in lengthy and expensive litigation with the regulatory authorities in the U.S. and Canada. The termination did not result in any termination fee being payable by either LP or Ainsworth.
