Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As previously disclosed, on June 27, 2016, Weyerhaeuser Company, a Washington corporation (“Weyerhaeuser”), was notified by TCG Member, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TCG Member”) and joint owner in the timberland joint venture carried out through Southern Diversified Timber, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Southern Diversified”), that it would exercise its right under the Southern Diversified joint venture agreement to cause Southern Diversified to redeem TCG Member’s joint venture interest. Southern Diversified was formed in October of 2008 between TCG Member 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.
On August 30, 2016, in connection with the redemption of TCG Member’s joint venture interest, certain subsidiaries of Weyerhaeuser entered into a Redemption Agreement with TCG Member, Southern Diversified, TCG/Southern Diversified Manager, LLC, Southern Diversified, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Campbell Opportunity Timber Fund VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Campbell Opportunity Timber Fund VI-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. Under the terms of the Redemption Agreement, on August 31, 2016, Southern Diversified redeemed all of the common interests of TCG Member in exchange for a distribution to TCG Member of joint venture assets with a fair market value equal to TCG Member’s capital account in the joint venture of $804 million. These distributed assets are comprised of joint venture timberland properties, cash and other operating assets and liabilities. Following the redemption, certain subsidiaries of Weyerhaeuser are the sole remaining members of Southern Diversified.
