NOTE 14: TIMBERLAND ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Washington Divestiture

On April 30, 2021, we announced an agreement to sell 145,000 acres of timberlands in the North Cascades region of Washington for $266 million in cash. This agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in third quarter 2021.

Alabama Acquisition

On February 25, 2021, we announced an agreement to purchase 69,200 acres of southwest Alabama timberlands for approximately $149 million. We completed the purchase on April 27, 2021.

Montana Divestiture

On December 17, 2019, we announced an agreement to sell 630,000 acres of Montana timberlands, which was part of our Timberlands business segment. On March 26, 2020, we completed the sale for $145 million in cash proceeds, which is net of purchase price adjustments and closing costs. Due to the impairment recorded during fourth quarter 2019, no material gain or loss was recorded as a result of this sale.

The divestiture 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.
