Item 8.01   Other Events

 

On February 20, 2018, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 22, 2017 (the "Merger Agreement"), among Potlatch Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Potlatch"), Portland Merger, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Potlatch (“Merger Sub”), and Deltic Timber Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Deltic"), Deltic merged with and into Merger Sub (the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Deltic ceased and Merger Sub continued as the surviving entity in the Merger.

 

Upon the closing of the Merger, the shares of Deltic common stock, which previously traded under the ticker symbol "DEL" on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), ceased trading on, and were delisted from, the NYSE.

 

Item 2.01 on Form 8-K reporting the completion of the Deltic acquisition was filed on February 20, 2018. Because that Form 8-K was filed before the due date of Deltic’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, annual audited financial statements of Deltic were not required to be filed pursuant to Item 9.01(a) on Form 8-K. The exhibits to this current report on Form 8-K are not required to be filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K and are being provided voluntarily.
