Boise Cascade Holdings, LLC

As part of the Merger, the Company acquired an investment of approximately 20% of the voting equity securities (“Common Units”) of Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C. (“Boise Cascade Holdings”), a building products company that originated in connection with the OfficeMax sale of its paper, forest products and timberland assets in 2004. Through the end of 2013, Boise Cascade Holdings owned common stock of Boise Cascade Company (“Boise Cascade”), a publicly traded entity, which gave the Company the indirect ownership interest of approximately 4% of the shares of Boise Cascade. During the first quarter of 2014, Boise Cascade Holdings distributed to its shareholders all of the Boise Cascade common stock it held. The Company received 1.6 million shares in this distribution, which the Company fully disposed of in open market transactions through the end of the second quarter of 2014 for total cash proceeds of $43 million. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company received an additional $1 million of cash in conjunction with the dissolution of Boise Cascade Holdings.

Through the date of disposition, the investment in Boise Cascade Holdings was accounted for under the cost method because the Company did not have the ability to significantly influence the entity’s operating and financial policies. The investment was recorded at fair value on the date of the Merger.
