Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 27, 2016, Weyerhaeuser Company, a Washington corporation (“Weyerhaeuser”), was notified by TCG Member, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TCG”) and joint owner in the timberland joint venture carried out through Southern Diversified Timber, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Southern Diversified”), that it will exercise its right under the Southern Diversified joint venture agreement to cause Southern Diversified to redeem TCG’s joint venture interest. Southern Diversified was formed in October of 2008 between TCG and Plum Creek Timber Operations I, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and a former subsidiary of Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc., the latter of which was merged with and into Weyerhaeuser on February 19, 2016.
In accordance with the terms of the Southern Diversified joint venture agreement, Southern Diversified is required to distribute to TCG timberland properties and other assets with a fair market value equal to TCG’s capital account in exchange for TCG’s joint venture interest. The effective date of the redemption of TCG’s interest is expected to occur at, or sometime near, the end of August 2016.
