As previously announced, the Board of Directors of Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (“LP”) has authorized an additional share repurchase plan under which the Company may repurchase up to $600 million of its common stock. As part of the repurchase plan, on February 19, 2019, LP entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to repurchase $400 million of its common stock. Under the ASR agreement, LP will receive an initial delivery of 11,944,756 million shares on February 21, 2019, representing approximately 80 percent of the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the ASR agreement, based on the closing price of LP’s common stock of $26.79 on February 15, 2019. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on LP’s volume-weighted average price of LP’s common stock during the term of the transaction, less a discount, and is expected to be completed no later than the end of the third quarter of 2019. A copy of LP’s press release announcing the ASR is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
