Detail of deferred compensation stock equivalent units
Certain employees and our board of directors may defer compensation into stock-equivalent units.
The Details
The plan works differently for employees and directors.
Eligible employees:
•
may choose to defer all or part of their bonus into stock-equivalent units;
•
may choose to defer part of their salary, except for executive officers; and
•
receive a 15 percent premium if the deferral is for at least five years.
Our directors:
•
receive a portion of their annual retainer fee in the form of restricted stock units, which vest over one year and may be deferred into stock-equivalent units;
•
may choose to defer some or all of the remainder of their annual retainer fee into stock-equivalent units; and
•
do not receive a premium for their deferrals.
Employees and directors also choose when the deferrals will be paid out although no deferrals may be paid until after the separation from service of the employee or director.

Performance share units      
Deferred Compensation Arrangement with Individual, Share-based Payments [Line Items]      
Terms of award
The final number of shares awarded will range from 0 percent to 150 percent of each grant’s target, depending upon actual company performance.
The ultimate number of performance share units earned is based on two measures:
•
Weyerhaeuser’s cash flow during the first year determined the initial number of units earned and
•
Weyerhaeuser’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) ranking in the S&P 500 during the first two years is used to adjust the initial number of units earned up or down by 20 percent.
At the end of the two-year performance period and over a further two-year vesting period, performance share units would be paid in shares of our stock. Performance share units granted and that are earned vest as follows:
•
vest 50 percent, 25 percent and 25 percent on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant-date, respectively, as long as the individual remains employed by the company;
•
fully vest in the event the participant dies or becomes disabled while employed;
•
continue to vest upon retirement at an age of at least 62, but a portion of the grant is forfeited if retirement occurs before the one year anniversary of the grant;
•
continue vesting for one year in the event of involuntary termination when the retirement has not been met; and
•
will be forfeited upon termination of employment in all other situations including early retirement prior to age 62.

Stock appreciation rights      
Deferred Compensation Arrangement with Individual, Share-based Payments [Line Items]      
Terms of award
Stock appreciation rights are similar to stock options. Employees benefit when the market price of our stock is higher on the exercise date than it was on the date the stock appreciation rights were granted. The differences are that the employee:
•
receives the benefit as a cash award and
•
does not purchase the underlying stock.
The vesting conditions and exceptions are the same as for 10-year stock options. Details are in the Stock Options section earlier in this note.
Stock appreciation rights are generally issued to employees outside of the U.S.
