During the first quarter of 2015, LP was notified by the Ministry of Forestry in Quebec that LP’s forest license associated with an indefinitely curtailed OSB mill in Quebec was terminated. Based upon this notification, LP was required to write off the remaining unamortized value associated with this intangible forest license of $11.6 million.
During the second quarter of 2014, LP recorded a loss of $0.5 million related to an environmental contingency reserve. LP also recorded a loss of $0.1 million related to the fair market value adjustment of the contingent consideration payable in connection with a business combination.
