unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements financial
"The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes thereto are prepared in accordance with Article 11"
merger-of-equals transaction financial
"The Original Report disclosed the consummation of the previously announced merger-of-equals transaction with PotlatchDeltic Corporation"
Adjusted Exchange Ratio financial
"The Adjusted Exchange Ratio is calculated pursuant to the merger agreement by adjusting the Exchange Ratio"
special dividend financial
"The Rayonier special dividend of $1.40 per share, was paid on December 12, 2025"
A special dividend is a one-time payment made by a company to its shareholders, usually when it has accumulated excess profits or cash. It is like a bonus or a reward for investors, often signaling that the company has extra funds available. This type of dividend matters because it can indicate a company's financial health or a significant change in its cash situation.
acquisition method of accounting financial
"The merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805"
taxable REIT subsidiary financial
"Rayonier expects to hold the taxable subsidiaries of PotlatchDeltic acquired in the merger in Rayonier TRS Holdings Inc., Rayonier’s taxable REIT subsidiary"
A taxable REIT subsidiary is a separate company owned by a real estate investment trust (REIT) that can carry out business activities the REIT itself cannot without losing its special tax status, and that pays regular corporate income tax on its profits. Think of it as a REIT’s side business that handles taxable operations—such as providing services to properties or holding non‑qualifying assets—so the parent preserves tax benefits; investors watch it because it affects overall tax bills, earnings, and the REIT’s flexibility to grow revenue.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes thereto are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect certain reclassifications to align the historical financial statement presentation of PotlatchDeltic to that of Rayonier’s historical consolidated financial statement presentation. Rayonier has not yet identified all adjustments necessary to conform PotlatchDeltic’s accounting policies and financial statement presentation to Rayonier’s policies and presentation. Upon consummation of the merger or as more information becomes available, Rayonier will perform a detailed review of PotlatchDeltic’s accounting policies and financial statement presentation. Differences identified in that review could have a material effect on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on Rayonier’s historical consolidated financial statements and PotlatchDeltic’s historical condensed consolidated financial statements, adjusted to give effect to the merger, the Rayonier special dividend and the other pro forma adjustments. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 gives effect to the merger, the Rayonier special dividend and the other pro forma adjustments as if they had occurred on September 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 give effect to the merger, the Rayonier special dividend and the other pro forma adjustments as if they had occurred on January 1, 2024. As permitted under Article 11 of Regulation S-X, the pro forma balance sheet is presented in a condensed format, and therefore certain line items shown in Rayonier’s historical consolidated balance sheet have been aggregated for purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting Rayonier has made the preliminary determination that it is the accounting acquirer and PotlatchDeltic is the accounting acquiree. In determining the accounting acquirer, management considered factors such as estimated relative size of the entities, estimated board and management composition, and estimated form and terms of consideration.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the realization of any revenue synergies or dyssynergies, expected cost savings, operating efficiencies, or other strategic benefits from the merger as a result of integration activities or other initiatives following the completion of the merger.
Note 2 – PotlatchDeltic and Rayonier Reclassification Adjustments
During the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, management performed a preliminary analysis of PotlatchDeltic’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies as compared to those of Rayonier and differences in financial statement presentation as compared to the presentation of Rayonier. At the time of preparing these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Rayonier has not identified all adjustments necessary to conform PotlatchDeltic’s accounting policies to Rayonier’s accounting policies. The below reclassification adjustments have been made to conform PotlatchDeltic’s historical condensed consolidated financial statement presentation to Rayonier’s historical consolidated financial statement presentation. These adjustments represent Rayonier’s best estimates based upon the information currently available to it and could be subject to change once more detailed information is available.
Refer to the table below for a summary of reclassification adjustments made to PotlatchDeltic’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 to conform to Rayonier's historical consolidated financial statement presentation (in thousands):

Note 3 – Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Consideration
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated merger consideration:
In thousands, except shares and per share data | Amount | |||||||
Equity consideration: | ||||||||
Shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger (i) | 77,466,233 | |||||||
Adjusted Exchange Ratio (ii) | 1.8185 | |||||||
Number of Rayonier common shares to be issued in the merger (iii) | 140,872,344 | |||||||
Price per share of Rayonier common shares as of January 30, 2026 | $ | 22.74 | ||||||
Estimated fair value of Rayonier common shares issued | $ | 3,203,437 | ||||||
Cash consideration | ||||||||
Fair value of consideration in connection with the cash paid for the Rayonier special dividend | 47,254 | |||||||
Estimated fair value of preliminary cash and equity purchase consideration | $ | 3,250,691 | ||||||
| Fair value of Rayonier replacement awards for vested portions of PotlatchDeltic awards (iv) | 24,983 | |||||||
| Estimated fair value of preliminary purchase consideration | $ | 3,275,674 | ||||||
(i)Based on shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock issued and outstanding as of January 30, 2026.
(ii)The Adjusted Exchange Ratio is calculated pursuant to the merger agreement by adjusting the Exchange Ratio to offset the economic impact of the Rayonier special dividend paid to Rayonier shareholders, including (i) the increase in outstanding Rayonier shares attributable to the stock portion of the dividend and (ii) the cash portion of the dividend, with these components incorporated into the share adjustment amount and cash adjustment amount calculations, resulting in an Adjusted Exchange Ratio of 1.8185.
(iii)Number of Rayonier common shares issued in the merger. Excludes cash in lieu of fractional shares of Rayonier common shares payable to holders of PotlatchDeltic common stock.
(iv)Represent the estimated consideration attributed to equity compensation awards. A portion of the fair value of such equity compensation awards represents consideration transferred, while the remaining portion represents post-merger compensation expense based on the vesting terms of the awards.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the consideration received by PotlatchDeltic’s common stockholders included a cash component to reflect the cash issued in connection with the Rayonier special dividend, with PotlatchDeltic’s common stockholders having received an amount in cash per share equal to the cash per share paid by Rayonier in the Rayonier special dividend multiplied by the 1.7339 Exchange Ratio. The cash presented within the fair value of the preliminary purchase consideration reflects the actual amount of cash elected by Rayonier shareholders for the Rayonier special dividend.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair values as of the merger date. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the terms of the merger agreement and Rayonier management’s estimates of the fair value of PotlatchDeltic’s assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2025, derived from the condensed consolidated historical balance sheet of PotlatchDeltic as of September 30, 2025, and using the merger consideration adjusted based on the closing share price of Rayonier common shares of $22.74 on January 30, 2026. Rayonier management has not finalized the detailed valuation exercises necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of PotlatchDeltic’s assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and the related allocations of purchase price. For the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger, Rayonier used publicly available benchmarking information as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions. Rayonier is expected to use widely accepted income-based, market-based, and cost-based valuation approaches upon finalization of purchase accounting for the merger. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Rayonier believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additional
8
intangible asset classes may be identified as the valuation process continues. The purchase price adjustments relating to the merger are preliminary and subject to change, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

k.The Rayonier special dividend of $1.40 per share, was paid on December 12, 2025 to shareholders of record on October 24, 2025, following the taxable gains generated from the sale of its New Zealand joint venture. The dividend was distributed in a mix of cash and common shares, with the cash portion capped at 25% in total and the remaining 75% delivered in common shares. Shareholders elected to receive the dividend entirely in cash or entirely in common shares; however, because the total cash elections exceeded 25%, the cash was prorated, and each cash-electing shareholder received approximately $0.35 in cash per share. Shareholders who did not make an election automatically received 25% cash and 75% Rayonier common shares.
