Federal Way, Washington, USA, 23 May 2007 -- /PRNewswire/ -- Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE:WY) announced the expiration of the early tender period for its Maximum Tender Offers.

According to the information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the depositary for the tender offers, USD 834,655,000 in aggregate principal amount of the notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Maximum Tender Offers at or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, on 22 May 2007 (the Early Tender Date). The consideration to be paid pursuant to the Maximum Tender Offers will be determined at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, on 04 June 2007.

Under the terms and conditions specified in the Offer to Purchase dated 09 May 2007, the maximum principal amount to be accepted in the Maximum Tender Offers and any and all offers (which expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on 16 May 2007) will be USD 825,000,000. The maximum principal amount to be accepted by Weyerhaeuser pursuant to the Maximum Tender Offers will be USD 519,483,000. USD 305,517,000 had previously been validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the any and all offers.

Because the principal amount of 6.95% Debentures due 01 August 2017, validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the early tender date exceeded the Maximum Principal Amount to be accepted, Weyerhaeuser will not purchase any of its 7.375% Debentures due 15 March 2032, in the Maximum Tender Offers. Securities of this class that have been tendered will be returned promptly to the tendering holders. Depending on the number of securities tendered before the expiration of the Maximum Tender Offers, Weyerhaeuser may not purchase securities of additional series.
