This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Weyerhaeuser Company (“Weyerhaeuser”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 22, 2014, as amended by Amendments No. 1 and No. 2 to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement, filed with the SEC on June 30, 2014 and July 3, 2014, respectively (as so amended, the “Schedule TO”).

The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Weyerhaeuser to exchange all common shares, par value $0.04 per share, of Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (“WRECO”), Weyerhaeuser’s homebuilding business, for common shares, par value $1.25 per share, of Weyerhaeuser (“Weyerhaeuser common shares”) that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer (as defined below). The Exchange Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on July 2, 2014.


Following the satisfaction of all closing conditions, on July 7, 2014, a subsidiary of TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (“TRI Pointe”) merged with and into WRECO, with WRECO surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe (the “Merger”). In the Merger, each issued and outstanding WRECO common share converted into the right to receive 1.297 fully paid and non-assessable shares of TRI Pointe common stock based on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus—Offer to Exchange, dated May 22, 2014 (the “Prospectus—Offer to Exchange”), the Letter of Transmittal and the Exchange and Transmittal Information Booklet for Common Shares of Weyerhaeuser Company, copies of which are incorporated herein by reference as Exhibits (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii), respectively (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Exchange Offer”).

In connection with the Exchange Offer, WRECO has filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form S-4 and Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-193251) (the “Registration Statement”) to register the WRECO common shares offered in exchange for Weyerhaeuser common shares tendered in the Exchange Offer and to be distributed in any pro rata dividend to the extent that the Exchange Offer was not fully subscribed. TRI Pointe has filed under the Securities Act a registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-193248) to register the shares of TRI Pointe common stock into which WRECO common shares were converted in the Merger.

This Amendment No. 3 shall be read together with the Schedule TO. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule TO.

 

Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.

Item 4(a) of the Schedule TO, which incorporates by reference the information contained in the Exchange Offer, is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following thereto:

Based on the final count by the exchange agent, a total of approximately 205,186,689 Weyerhaeuser common shares were validly tendered in the exchange offer, including approximately 322,303 shares tendered by odd-lot shareholders. Odd-lot shareholders were eligible for preferential treatment whereby their shares would be fully accepted in the offer without being subject to proration. All remaining validly tendered Weyerhaeuser common shares were accepted in the exchange on a pro rata basis using the final proration factor. Based on the final count by the exchange agent, the final proration factor is approximately 28.55%. Weyerhaeuser common shares that were validly tendered but not accepted for exchange will be returned to tendering shareholders.

In the Exchange Offer, Weyerhaeuser accepted approximately 58,813,151 Weyerhaeuser common shares in exchange for the 100,000,000 WRECO common shares held by Weyerhaeuser. Each Weyerhaeuser common share accepted for exchange by Weyerhaeuser was exchanged for 1.7003 WRECO common shares. In the Merger, each WRECO common share automatically converted into the right to receive 1.297 shares of TRI Pointe common stock. As a result, Weyerhaeuser shareholders who tendered their Weyerhaeuser common shares as part of the exchange offer will receive approximately 2.2053 shares of TRI Pointe common stock for each Weyerhaeuser common share accepted for exchange. The TRI Pointe common stock issued in the Merger represents approximately 79.6% percent of the shares of TRI Pointe common stock that are outstanding after the Merger.

Under the terms of the Exchange Offer, fractional shares of TRI Pointe common stock will not be issued. Rather, fractional shares will be aggregated and sold by TRI Pointe’s transfer agent, with the net cash proceeds from the sale distributed to the respective tendering shareholders with fractional interests.

On July 9, 2014, Weyerhaeuser issued a press release announcing the final results of the Exchange Offer and the final proration factor for shares tendered in the Exchange Offer, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(x) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
