Weyerhaeuser Announces Further Details on Previously Declared Conditional Pro Rata Dividend
 
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (March 1, 2007) - Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today announced further details about its conditional pro rata dividend of the shares of Domtar Corporation, created as a part of the pending combination of the company’s Fine Paper business and related assets with Domtar Inc.

The conditional pro rata dividend, announced Feb. 2, 2007, would be payable only if the exchange offer that Weyerhaeuser commenced is undersubscribed. If the exchange offer is undersubscribed and Weyerhaeuser decides to consummate the exchange offer, the dividend will consist of all shares of Domtar Corporation common stock that Weyerhaeuser continues to own upon completion of the exchange offer, taking into account the consummation of the exchange offer.

In this event, the record time for determination of holders of common shares of Weyerhaeuser and exchangeable shares of Weyerhaeuser Company Limited entitled to such dividend will be immediately following the acceptance for exchange of Weyerhaeuser shares validly tendered pursuant to the exchange offer.

If the exchange offer is undersubscribed and Weyerhaeuser decides to terminate the exchange offer and return all Weyerhaeuser shares tendered pursuant to the exchange offer without accepting any of such shares for exchange, the dividend will consist of the 284,067,852 shares of Domtar Corporation common stock that will be owned by Weyerhaeuser. In this event, the record time for determination of holders of common shares of Weyerhaeuser and exchangeable shares of Weyerhaeuser Company Limited entitled to such dividend will be immediately following the public announcement by Weyerhaeuser of its decision to terminate the exchange offer and return all tendered shares.

If the exchange offer expires at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on March 2, 2007, as currently scheduled, the record time for either dividend is expected to be March 5, 2007. If the exchange offer is extended, the record time for either dividend is expected to be the first business day after the extended expiration date.
