The Company operates 22 plants in our continuing operations across the U.S., Canada, Chile, and Brazil through foreign subsidiaries, an d it operates facilities through joint ventures.

References to "LP," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole. In August 2022, LP and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries sold the assets related to the Engineered Wood Products (EWP) segment to P acific Woodtech Corporation, a Washington corporation, and Pacific Woodtech Canada Holdings Limited, a British Columbia limited company (collectively, the Purchaser) for $217 million in gross cash proceeds after taking into account working capital adjustments (including $3 million received subsequent to September 30, 2022). Upon closing, the Company entered into a transition services agreement (TSA) with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to support the various activities of the EWP segment for a period not to exceed eight months. We have classified the related assets and liabilities associated with the EWP segment as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The results of our EWP segment have been presented as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. See Note 7 –Discontinued Operations for additional information.
