NOTE 4: TIMBERLAND ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

ALABAMA ACQUISITIONS

On July 25, 2024, we announced acquisitions totaling 84 thousand acres of Alabama timberlands for $244 million. The first transaction was completed on May 30, 2024 and was comprised of 13 thousand acres for $48 million. We recorded $47 million of timberland assets in "Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion" and $1 million of related assets in "Property and equipment, net" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The second transaction was completed on August 28, 2024 and was comprised of 32 thousand acres for $82 million. We recorded $81 million of timberland assets in "Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion" and $1 million of related assets in "Property and equipment, net" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The third transaction was completed on October 9, 2024 and was comprised of 39 thousand acres for $114 million. We recorded $113 million of timberland assets in "Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion" and $1 million of related assets in "Property and equipment, net" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

SOUTHERN TIMBERLANDS ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE

On December 20, 2023, we completed the sale of 63 thousand acres of South Carolina timberlands for $166 million in cash proceeds, which is net of purchase price adjustments and closing costs. This transaction was structured as a like-kind exchange along with the acquisition discussed below. As a result of the sale, we recorded an $84 million gain in the Timberlands segment in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. This sale was not considered a strategic shift that had, or will have, a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations.

On December 20, 2023, we completed the purchase of 61 thousand acres of timberlands across the Carolinas and Mississippi for $159 million, which is net of purchase price adjustments. As a result of the purchase, we recorded $157 million of timberland assets in “Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion” and $2 million of related assets in “Property and equipment, net” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

MISSISSIPPI ACQUISITION
