Weyerhaeuser Co Analyst Notes
On July 7, 2014, Weyerhaeuser Co (Weyerhaeuser) announced the closing of the previously announced "Reverse Morris Trust" transaction, under which a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. merged with and into Weyerhaeuser's homebuilding business and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO), with WRECO surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe. According to the Company, the closing of the merger came after the expiration of the related exchange offer and the satisfaction of other conditions. Doyle Simons, President and CEO, Weyerhaeuser, said, "The separation of WRECO focuses Weyerhaeuser on its forest products businesses while significantly enhancing shareholder value. As a result of this transaction, we have received approximately $700 million in cash proceeds and retired over $1.9 billion worth of the company's shares. The combination of WRECO with TRI Pointe will create a powerful stand-alone homebuilder with significant long-term potential for growth."
