FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (Feb. 13, 2007) Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) announced that the registration statement on Forms S-4 and S-1 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its offer to exchange shares of Domtar Corporation common stock for common shares of Weyerhaeuser Company and exchangeable shares of Weyerhaeuser Company Limited has been declared effective.
 
Under the terms of the exchange offer, tendering Weyerhaeuser shareholders will receive approximately $1.11 worth of Domtar Corporation common stock for each $1 of Weyerhaeuser shares exchanged, subject to a limit of 11.1442 shares of Domtar Corporation common stock per Weyerhaeuser share. The value of Weyerhaeuser shares and Domtar Corporation common stock will be calculated using the simple arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average prices (VWAP) of Weyerhaeuser common shares and common shares of Domtar Inc., respectively, on the New York Stock Exchange on the last three trading days of the offer, unless the offer is subject to the mandatory extension described in the exchange offer materials previously sent to Weyerhaeuser shareholders.
 
The exchange offer of Domtar Corporation common stock for Weyerhaeuser shares is expected to be tax-free to participating Weyerhaeuser shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on March 2, 2007, unless extended.
