LP Completes Purchase of Canfor's Share in Peace Valley OSB Joint Venture
LP completes purchase of the 50 percent share of Canfor Corporation (TSX: CFP) in the Peace Valley Oriented Strand Board (OSB) joint venture in Fort St. John, British Columbia.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 31, 2013) – Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (NYSE: LPX) announced today that it has completed the purchase of the 50 percent share of Canfor Corporation (TSX: CFP) in the Peace Valley Oriented Strand Board (OSB) joint venture in Fort St. John, British Columbia.
By completing this acquisition, LP has become the sole owner of the Peace Valley OSB mill.
“The Peace Valley mill is a great operation,” LP CEO Curt Stevens said. “It has been part of our OSB strategy since 2006 and it will play an important role as the housing market continues to rebound.”
OSB made in Peace Valley has always carried the LP brand, so customers will see no change in product quality or service.
“The partnership between LP and Canfor was successful and productive,” Stevens said. “We look forward to continuing our relationship as Canfor manages the Peace Valley mill's fiber resources into the future.”
The Peace Valley mill has an annual production capacity of 820 million square feet of OSB. It currently operates four shifts.
The initial purchase price is approximately $77 million CDN including working capital. In addition, Canfor may receive additional annual consideration over a three year period based on Peace Valley OSB's trailing twelve-month EBITDA.
