Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 30, 2014, Weyerhaeuser Company (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that (i) the final exchange ratio for its exchange offer that commenced on May 22, 2014 related to the split-off of Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (“WRECO”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has been set at the upper limit of 1.7003 WRECO common shares for each Weyerhaeuser common share that is validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the exchange offer and accepted by Weyerhaeuser, and (ii) because the upper limit is in effect, the exchange offer has been extended to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Wednesday, July 2, 2014, as provided by the terms of the exchange offer. The exchange offer is in connection with the previously announced “Reverse Morris Trust” transaction, pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (“TRI Pointe”) will merge with and into WRECO, with WRECO surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
