Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on October 13, 2025, PotlatchDeltic Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PotlatchDeltic”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rayonier Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Rayonier”), and Redwood Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Rayonier (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, PotlatchDeltic will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Rayonier.

On December 10, 2025, Rayonier filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC, which includes a prospectus with respect to the Rayonier common shares to be issued in the Merger and a joint proxy statement for Rayonier’s and PotlatchDeltic’s respective shareholders and stockholders. The Registration Statement was declared effective on December 23, 2025, and PotlatchDeltic filed a definitive proxy statement on December 23, 2025, and Rayonier filed a final prospectus on December 23, 2025 (together, the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”).

Each of PotlatchDeltic and Rayonier will hold a special meeting of its stockholders and shareholders, respectively, on January 27, 2026 in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as further described in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Litigation Related to the Merger

As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, to PotlatchDeltic’s knowledge, three complaints challenging the Merger have been filed (each, a “Lawsuit” and, collectively, the “Lawsuits”) following the announcement of the Merger. The Lawsuit captioned Siegel v. Alonzo et al. (No. 26-2-00050-32) was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, Spokane County. The Lawsuits captioned Walsh v. PotlatchDeltic Corporation et al. (No. 650070/2026) and Miller v. PotlatchDeltic Corporation et al. (No. 650168/2026) were filed in New York Supreme Court, New York County. In addition, PotlatchDeltic and Rayonier have each received demand letters from certain purported stockholders of PotlatchDeltic and shareholders of Rayonier, as applicable, that allege deficiencies and/or omissions in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (collectively, the “Demand Letters” and together with the Lawsuits, the “Matters”). The Matters each allege that, among other things, the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains certain disclosure deficiencies and/or incomplete information regarding the Merger and seek additional disclosures to remedy these purported deficiencies. PotlatchDeltic and Rayonier believe that the allegations in the Matters are without merit. There can be no assurances that additional lawsuits or demands will not be filed or made against PotlatchDeltic and/or Rayonier with respect to the Merger. If this occurs, neither PotlatchDeltic nor Rayonier will necessarily announce them.

PotlatchDeltic and Rayonier believe that the disclosures set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus comply with applicable law and exchange rules and that no further disclosure beyond that already contained in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is required under applicable law or exchange rules. However, in order to moot such disclosure claims, to avoid nuisance, cost and distraction, and to preclude any efforts to delay the completion of the Merger, and without admitting any culpability, liability or wrongdoing and without admitting the relevance or materiality of such disclosures, PotlatchDeltic and Rayonier are voluntarily supplementing the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus with the disclosures set forth below (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, PotlatchDeltic and Rayonier specifically deny all allegations in the Matters, including that any additional disclosure was or is required.

Supplemental Disclosures to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus

The Supplemental Disclosures should be read in connection with the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which should be read in its entirety, including all risk factors and cautionary notes contained therein. All page references are to pages in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. For clarity, new text within restated paragraphs from the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is highlighted with bold, underlined text, while deleted text is bold and stricken-through.

The second and third sentences in the final paragraph on page 95 under “The Opinion of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Rayonier’s Financial Advisor-Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Morgan Stanley applied a range of perpetuity growth rates of 3.50% to 4.00% to derive a range of estimated terminal values and a discount rate of 7.0% (reflecting a midpoint of the range (selected by Morgan Stanley using its professional judgment and experience) of estimated weighted average cost of capital for PotlatchDeltic of 6.3% to 7.8%) to the projected unlevered free cash flows and the range of estimated terminal values. The discounted cash flow analysis for PotlatchDeltic indicated an implied per share illustrative value range, rounded to the nearest $0.05, of $81.65 to $95.25 for PotlatchDeltic common stock (and implied terminal multiples of PotlatchDeltic’s Adjusted Mid-Cycle EBITDA, provided by Rayonier, of 23.4x to 27.4x).

The second and third sentences in the first full paragraph on page 96 under “The Opinion of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Rayonier’s Financial Advisor-Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Morgan Stanley applied a range of perpetuity growth rates of 3.50% to 4.0% to derive a range of estimated terminal values and a discount rate of 6.7% (reflecting a midpoint of the range (selected by Morgan Stanley using its professional judgment and experience) of estimated weighted average cost of capital for Rayonier of 5.9% to 7.6%) to the projected unlevered free cash flows and the range of estimated terminal values. The discounted cash flow analysis for Rayonier indicated an implied per share illustrative value range, rounded to the nearest $0.05, of $47.55 to $55.80 for the Rayonier common shares (and implied terminal multiples of Rayonier’s 2029E Adjusted EBITDA, provided by Rayonier, of 25.6x to 30.4x).

The final bullet point on page 97 under “The Opinion of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Rayonier’s Financial Advisor-Other Analyses and Information” is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Analyst Price Targets. Morgan Stanley reviewed sell-side analyst price targets for the Rayonier common shares and PotlatchDeltic common stock published by seven equity research analysts from August 8, 2025 to September 29, 2025 for Rayonier and from July 29, 2025 to September 29, 2025 for PotlatchDeltic. These targets generally reflect each analyst’s estimate of the 12-month future public market trading price per share and were not discounted to reflect present values. The range of undiscounted price targets was $27.00 to $37.00 (with a mean of $30.00) for the Rayonier common shares and $45.00 to $55.00 (with a mean of $50.57) for PotlatchDeltic common stock. These ranges were also discounted to present value by applying, for a one-year discount period, an illustrative discount rate of 7.7%, for Rayonier and 8.6% for PotlatchDeltic (which were selected by Morgan Stanley based on Rayonier’s and PotlatchDeltic’s respective assumed cost of equity). The range of discounted price targets was $25.05 to $34.35 for the Rayonier common shares and $41.45 to $50.65 for PotlatchDeltic common stock. The price targets published by equity research analysts do not necessarily reflect current market trading prices for the shares and these estimates are subject to uncertainties, including the future financial performance of the subject companies and future financial market conditions.

Financial data of PotlatchDeltic were based on the PotlatchDeltic management forecasts and public filings as of October 10, 2025.
