PORTLAND, Ore. -- Weyerhaeuser Co. is offering $5.3 billion for Willamette Industries Inc. in a bid to unite two of the largest forest products companies in the Northwest.
Weyerhaeuser, based in Federal Way, Wash., said today it had written a letter dated Nov. 6 proposing to buy all of Portland-based Willamette's outstanding common stock for $48 per share in cash. Willamette also has total debt of about $1.7 billion.
Four days later, however, Willamette responded that its board had failed to endorse the takeover bid at a meeting Thursday.
Weyerhaeuser said it would interpret Willamette's response as a rejection and pursue other means of consummating the transaction.
