We ye rha e use r Com pa ny
Overview
We are one of the world's largest private owners of timberlands. We own or control approximately 11 million acres of
timberlands in the U.S., and manage an additional 14.0 million acres of timberlands under long-term licenses in Canada. We manage
these timberlands on a sustainable basis in compliance with internationally recognized forestry standards. Our objective is to maximize
the long-term value of timberlands we own. We analyze each timberland acre comprehensively to understand its highest-value use.
We realize this value in many ways, particularly through growing and harvesting the trees, but also by selling properties when we can
create incremental value. In addition, we focus on opportunities to realize value through lease and royalty agreements for the surface
and subsurface rights that exist in our ownership.
We are also one of the largest manufacturers of wood products in North America. We manufacture and distribute high-quality
wood products, including structural lumber, oriented strand board, engineered wood products and other specialty products. These

products are primarily supplied to the residential, multi-family, industrial, light commercial and repair and remodel markets. We operate
35 manufacturing facilities in the United States and Canada.
Our company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT").
Sustainability and citizenship are part of our core values. In addition to practicing sustainable forestry, we focus on increasing
energy and resource efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing water consumption, conserving natural resources and
offering sustainable products that meet our customers' needs. We operate with world class safety results, actively support the
communities in which we operate and strive to communicate transparently with our investors and other stakeholders. We are the only
North American forest products company included on the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index, and we also are recognized
for our leading performance in the areas of ethics, citizenship and gender equality.
In 2019, we generated $6.6 billion in net sales and employed approximately 9,400 people who serve customers worldwide.

Change of Control Offer
If we experience a Change of Control Triggering Event (as
defined under "Description of Notes--Offer to Purchase Upon
Change of Control Triggering Event" in this prospectus
supplement) with respect to the notes, we will be required to
offer to purchase the notes from the holders thereof. See
"Description of Notes--Offer to Purchase Upon Change of
Control Triggering Event" in this prospectus supplement.
Covenants
We will issue the notes under an indenture with The Bank of
New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The
indenture, among other things, restricts our ability and the ability
of our "subsidiaries", as that term is defined in the indenture, to:

· ?incur indebtedness for borrowed money secured by
mortgages on timber or timberlands located in specified
states or on any principal manufacturing plant located in
the United States unless we secure the notes and any
other debt securities issued under the indenture equally
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/106535/000119312520088690/d893714d424b5.htm[3/27/2020 4:17:00 PM]


424B5

and ratably with, or prior to, that indebtedness; and

S-9
Table of Contents

· ?enter into specified sale and leaseback transactions with
respect to real property located in the United States unless
we apply an amount equal to the fair value of the leased
property, as determined by our Board of Directors, to
repay indebtedness or unless we would be entitled,
pursuant to the limitation on liens covenant described in
the preceding bullet point, to incur indebtedness for
borrowed money secured by a mortgage on the leased
property without equally and ratably securing the notes

and any other debt securities issued under the indenture.
These covenants are subject to a number of important
exceptions, qualifications and limitations and you should
carefully review the information under "Description of Debt
Securities--Certain Covenants with Respect to Senior Debt
Securities" in the accompanying prospectus for more
information.
Use of Proceeds
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering, after
deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions
and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be
approximately $731.8 million.

We intend to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds from
this offering to refinance our existing indebtedness, which may
take the form of redemptions, repayments at maturity,
repurchases or other transactions, including one or more of the
following:

· ?to redeem all or a portion of our outstanding 4.70% notes
due 2021, of which $569 million aggregate principal
amount is outstanding;

· ?to repay at maturity our 9.00% debentures due 2021, of
which $150 million aggregate principal amount is
outstanding; and / or

· ?to refinance in whole or in part our outstanding 3.25%
notes due 2023, of which $325 million aggregate principal
amount is outstanding, and our outstanding 4.625% notes
due 2023, of which $500 million aggregate principal

amount is outstanding.

redemption features of our existing indebtedness as well as
prevailing interest rates and other factors and could include
other indebtedness not listed above. Prospective investors
should be aware that we retain substantial discretion as to the
ultimate amount and timing of any debt to be refinanced. This
prospectus supplement does not constitute a notice of
redemption of any of our outstanding securities.

We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds from this
offering, if any, for general corporate purposes.
Future Issuances of Notes Offered Hereby
We may, without the consent of the holders of the notes,
"reopen" the notes and issue additional notes from time to time
in the future, provided that if such additional notes are not
fungible for U.S. Federal income tax purposes with the initial
notes offered hereby, such additional notes will have a separate
CUSIP. The notes offered hereby and any additional notes that
we may issue by reopening such series of notes will vote or
take action as a single class pursuant to the indenture.
Absence of a Public Market for the Notes
The notes will be a new issue of securities for which there is no
established market. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that
