Big W Buying MacMillan Bloedel

Weyerhaeuser Co., Federal Way, Wa., has agreed to acquire fellow forest products giant MacMillan Bloedel Ltd., Vancouver, 8.C., in a stock transaction worth approximately $2.45 billion.

Once the transaction is completed, Weyerhaeuser would boast annual sales of approximately $13.3 billion and a market capitalization of about $16.5 billion.

The deal would make Weyerhaeuser a leading packaging producer, in addition to its current standing as the world's largest producer of softwood lumber and market pulp and second largest maker of OSB.

The deal, expected to close this fall, was unanimously approved by both companies'boards, but awaits regulatory approvals in the U.S. and Canada, court approval in Canada, and a favorable vote by MB shareholders.

MB holds 6.9 million acres of timberlands, three containerboard mills, three OSB plants, three plywood plants, l0 sawmills, 31 distribution centers, and a 49Vo stake in Trus Joist MacMillan.

Weyerhaeuser estimates the merger will provide $150 million in annual benefits through savings in transportation and distribution, improving purchasing practices, increasing the balance in its manufacturing system, and streamlining operations.
