Pending Merger With Catchmark

NOTE 13. PENDING MERGER WITH CATCHMARK

On May 29, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (merger agreement) with CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (CatchMark) and CatchMark Timber Operating Partnership, LP (the Partnership), pursuant to which CatchMark and the Partnership will merge into a wholly-owned subsidiary of PotlatchDeltic, with the subsidiary continuing as the surviving company. Under the terms of the merger agreement, CatchMark stockholders and the holders of common partnership units of the Partnership (Partnership OP Units) will have the right to receive 0.230 shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock for each share of CatchMark common stock and for each Partnership OP Unit and cash in lieu of fractional shares at the effective time of the merger. CatchMark owns approximately 350,000 acres of superior site index timberlands located in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.

Because the exchange ratio was fixed at the time of the merger agreement and the market value of our common stock will continue to fluctuate, the total value of the consideration exchanged will not be determinable until the closing date. The number of shares to be issued with respect to CatchMark stock awards will not be determinable until the closing of the transaction.

We estimate that approximately 11.4 million shares of our common stock will be issued to CatchMark stockholders and Partnership OP Unit holders in the merger based on the 0.230 exchange ratio.

The merger agreement has been approved by both companies' boards of directors. The closing of the merger is subject to approval by the stockholders of CatchMark and other conditions specified in the merger agreement. The merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022.
