Davis Polk advised the dealer in connection with an uncollared accelerated share repurchase by Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, pursuant to which LP is repurchasing $400 million of its common stock. Under the terms of the ASR, LP will receive an initial delivery of approximately 11.9 million shares on February 21, representing approximately 80% of the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the ASR agreement, based on the closing price of the company’s common stock of $26.79 on February 15. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the volume-weighted average price of LP’s common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount, and is expected to be completed no later than the end of the third quarter of 2019. The ASR will be completed under LP’s existing share repurchase authorization, under which $600 million of authority was announced on February 13, 2019.
