Earlier this month, Weyerhaeuser Co. (WY) announced the commencement of a cash tender offer to purchase up to $500 million principal amount of its 6.750% notes due in March 15, 2012.

Weyerhaeuser is offering to purchase for cash up to $500 million principal amount of its outstanding 6.750% Notes due March 15, 2012 from each registered holder of Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase dated November 10, 2009. The Offer will expire on December 9, 2009. The deadline for Holders to validly withdraw tenders of Securities is November 24, 2009, unless extended.

Weyerhaeuser Company is one of the world’s largest forest products companies with sales of $8 billion in 2008. It has offices or operations in 10 countries, with customers worldwide. Weyerhaeuser is principally engaged in the growing and harvesting of timber; the manufacture, distribution and sale of forest products; and real estate construction and development. Major competitors include International Paper Co. (IP) and Louisiana-Pacific Corp. (LPX).

The company has started long-term improvements in the cost structure and significantly reducing SG&A, adjusting headcount across the company and making long-term structural changes in overall employment costs. During the third quarter of 2009, Weyerhaeuser also continued to take steps to improve its financial position to assure the ability to deal with uncertain market recovery as well as to maintain future financial flexibility.

With all of this progress, the company is in a better position than last year and this will help it emerge a fundamentally different company and put it in a much more competitive situation.
