PROXY AND VOTING INFORMATION
Weyerhaeuser Company (Weyerhaeuser or the Company) will hold its annual meeting of shareholders at its Corporate
Headquarters Building, Federal Way, Washington on Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific) to consider the items on the attached notice of shareholder meeting. All items on the attached notice are more fully described in this proxy
statement. The enclosed form of proxy is solicited by the board of directors of the Company. The Companys annual report to shareholders for 2013 is being mailed with this proxy statement to shareholders entitled to vote at the 2014 annual
meeting.
SHAREHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
Only common shareholders of record at the close of business on February 14, 2014 will be eligible to vote at the annual meeting. On that date, 584,557,886 common shares were outstanding. Each
common share entitles the holder to one vote at the annual meeting. Holders of the Companys 6.375% Mandatory Convertible Preference Shares, Series A will not be entitled to vote at the annual meeting.
VOTE REQUIRED
The presence,
in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of Weyerhaeusers outstanding common shares is required to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for
purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. Under Washington law and the Companys Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, if a quorum is present at the meeting:
|
|
|
Item 1nominees for election as
directors will be elected to the board of directors if the votes cast for each such nominee exceed the votes cast against the nominee;
|
|
|
|
Item 2the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the
named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement, will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal; and |
|
|
|
Item 3ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our
independent registered public accounting firm will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. |
EFFECT OF ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES
The following will not be
considered votes cast and will not count towards the election of any director nominee or approval of the other proposals:
|
|
|
a share whose ballot is marked as abstain; |
|
|
|
a share otherwise present at the annual meeting but for which there is an abstention; and |
|
|
|
a share otherwise present at the annual meeting as to which a shareholder gives no authority or direction. |
If your shares are held in street name on your behalf (that is, you own shares in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record), the broker
or other registered holder must receive explicit voting instructions from you to be able to vote on the election of directors and executive compensation, each of which is considered to be non-routine under the applicable rules of the New York Stock
Exchange. Brokers do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters unless the beneficial owner of the shares has given explicit voting instructions. Consequently, if you do not give your broker explicit instructions, your shares will not be
voted on the election of directors or the advisory vote on executive compensation and will be considered broker non-votes on such proposals. The ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our
2
independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter and, as such, your broker is entitled to vote your shares on such proposal even if you do not provide voting
instructions on that item.
VOTING INFORMATION
You may vote your shares in one of several ways, depending upon how you own your common shares.
If you are a shareholder of record (that is, if your shares are registered in your own name with our transfer agent), you can vote any one of four ways:
|
|
|
Voting by Telephone. Call the toll-free number listed on the proxy
card and follow the instructions. You will need to have your proxy card with you when you call. |
|
|
|
Voting on the Internet. Go to www.envisionreports.com/WY and follow
the instructions. You will need to have your proxy card with you when you go to the website. |
|
|
|
Voting by Mail. Complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy
card in the envelope provided. |
|
|
|
Voting at the Annual Meeting. If you decide to attend the meeting
and vote in person, you may deposit your proxy card in the ballot box at the registration desk at the annual meeting or you may complete a ballot that will be distributed at the meeting. |
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name (that is, if you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other holder of record),
you should follow the voting instructions you receive from the holder of record to vote your shares.
REVOCATION OF PROXIES
Shareholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them at any time before the shares are voted by proxy at the meeting. A
shareholder may revoke a proxy by delivering a signed statement to our Corporate Secretary at or prior to the annual meeting or by timely executing and delivering, by Internet, telephone, mail, or in person at the annual meeting, another proxy dated
as of a later date.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING

plan to attend the annual meeting, please vote your proxy, but keep the admission ticket and bring it to the annual meeting along with photo identification. If you arrive at the meeting without your admission ticket, we will admit you only if you

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEE INFORMATION
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE; BOARD OPERATION AND LEADERSHIP
The board of directors of the Company has determined that each of the Companys directors, with the exception of the Companys president and chief executive officer, is independent within
the meaning of the listing requirements established by the New York Stock Exchange. The independent directors meet during every board meeting in separate executive session without members of Company management present. The chairman of the board, who
is an independent director, presides over these meetings.
The board of directors has determined that having an independent director
serve as chairman of the board is in the best interest of shareholders at this time. This structure has been particularly useful as the board has considered significant changes in the Companys portfolio and strategic direction. The structure
ensures a greater role for the independent directors in the oversight of the Company and active participation of the independent directors in setting agendas and establishing priorities and procedures for the work of the board. It also allows the
board to draw on the leadership skills and business experience of two persons. In addition, this leadership structure is preferred by many of the Companys shareholders.
RISK OVERSIGHT
The board is actively involved in the oversight of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight is conducted primarily through committees of
the board, as disclosed in the descriptions of each of the committees below and in the charters of each of the committees, but the full board has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The board satisfies this responsibility through
full reports by each committee chair regarding the committees considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company. The board believes its
administration of its risk oversight function has not affected the boards leadership structure.
The Company employs robust
strategic planning and enterprise risk management processes. The Company has an integrated risk management process and conducts a review of risk every year and reports to the board of directors on the results of the review. This review includes an
identification of specific risks, ranking of the likelihood and magnitude of effect of those risks, scenario analysis, review of risk appetite, and a review of mitigation plans. The Company analyzes risk areas that have the potential to materially
affect its businesses over the long term and integrates this information into its planning and its report to the board of directors.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS; BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
The board of directors has a number of committees that perform certain functions for the board. The current committees are the Executive Committee, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee,
Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee and Finance Committee. The board of
7
directors met on 10 occasions in 2013. Each of the directors attended at least 75% of the total meetings of the board and the committees on
which he or she served in 2013. The following table provides membership and meeting information for each of the board committees.

the financial, human resources and shareholder implications of compensation decisions being made. The committee chair also regularly meets between
formal committee meetings with management and the committees consultant.

activities and governmental policy development that could affect Company operations and strategic decisions, and employee and investor responses to the Companys human resources practices. To satisfy these oversight responsibilities, the
committee receives regular reports from officers of the Company responsible for each of these risk areas on matters such as progress against succession planning programs and goals, trends in risk levels, the employee climate, risk management
activities, and non-governmental and governmental policies or proposals that could affect Company operations. Because many of these risks could have financial and reporting implications for the Company, the
9
board and the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee have determined that at least one member of the committee must serve concurrently on the Audit Committee.
Finance Committee
The
Finance Committee monitors and oversees the Companys financial resources and strategies, with emphasis on those issues that are long-term in nature. The committee:
|
|
|
provides guidance to the board regarding major financial policies of the Company; |
|
|
|
oversees financial matters of importance to the Company; |
|
|
|
reviews with management the Companys major financial risk exposure; |
|
|
|
reviews and approves credit policies and cash management; |
|
|
|
makes recommendations to the board regarding operating plans, and debt and equity programs; and |
|
|
|
makes recommendations to the board regarding significant mergers, acquisitions, asset sales or purchases and other significant business
opportunities. |
Independence: The board of directors has determined that each member of the Finance Committee
is independent within the meaning of the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.
Risk Oversight: The Finance
Committee is responsible for the oversight of risks related to the Companys financial policies, material financial decisions, credit policies and ratings, compliance with the REIT asset and income rules, cash management and investment
strategies, debt and equity structures, and significant business decisions. The committee satisfies this oversight responsibility through regular reports from officers of the Company responsible for each of these risk areas on matters such as the
Companys capital structure, debt levels, discussions with credit rating agencies, pension fund returns, insurance policies, cash flows and expected sources and uses of cash, and major business transactions or strategic decisions being
considered. The committee also consults periodically with outside financial advisors.
Governance Guidelines
The board of directors has documented the governance practices followed by the Company by adopting Corporate Governance Guidelines. The
Corporate Governance Guidelines establish the practices the board of directors follows with respect to board function and operation, Company operations, board organization and composition and
board conduct. The Governance Guidelines are available on the Companys website at www.weyerhaeuser.com under Company at the top of the page, Investors, and then under the Governance link. If you would
like to receive a paper copy, you may request one by writing to Weyerhaeuser Company, Attention: Corporate Secretary, P.O. Box 9777, Federal Way, WA 98063-9777 or by sending an email to
CorporateSecretary@weyerhaeuser.com.
CONSIDERATION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Director Qualifications
The
board codified standards for directors in the boards Corporate Governance Guidelines. These Guidelines provide that the board should encompass a diverse range of talent, skill and expertise sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with
respect to the Companys operations and interests. The Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that at all times a majority of the board must be independent directors as defined from time to time by the listing requirements of
the New York Stock Exchange and any specific requirements established by the board. Each director also is expected to:
|
|
|
exhibit high standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; |
|
|
|
use his or her skills and experiences to provide independent oversight to the business of the Company; |
|
|
|
participate in a constructive and collegial manner; |
|
|
|
be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out the duties and responsibilities of a director; |
|
|
|
devote the time and effort necessary to learn the business of the Company and the board; and |
|
|
|
represent the long-term interests of all shareholders. |
In addition, the board of directors has determined that the board as a whole must have the right diversity, mix of characteristics and skills for the optimal functioning of the board in its
oversight of the Company. The board believes it should be comprised of persons with skills in areas such as:
10
|
|
|
development of strategies for sustainability; |
|
|
|
human resources and diversity; |
|
|
|
relevant industries, especially natural resource companies; |
|
|
|
leadership of large, complex organizations; |
|
|
|
government and governmental relationships; |
|
|
|
international business and international cultures; and |
|
|
|
information technology. |
In addition to the targeted skill areas, the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee looks for a strong record of achievement in key knowledge areas that it believes are critical for
directors to add value to a board, including:
|
|
|
Strategy knowledge of the Company business model, the formulation of corporate strategies, knowledge of key competitors and global
markets; |
|
|
|
Leadership skills in coaching senior executives and the ability to assist the CEO in his or her development; |
|
|
|
Organizational Issues understanding of strategy implementation, change management processes, group effectiveness and organizational
design; |
|
|
|
Relationships understanding how to interact with governments, investors, financial analysts, and communities in which the Company
operates; |
|
|
|
Finance and Operations understanding of finance matters, financial statements and auditing procedures, technical expertise, legal issues,
information technology and marketing; and |
|
|
|
Ethics the ability to identify and raise key ethical issues concerning the activities of the Company and senior management as they affect
the business community and society. |
As part of its self-assessment process, the board annually determines the
diversity of specific skills and characteristics necessary for the optimal functioning of the board in its oversight of the Company over both the short- and longer-term. The Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee has adopted a policy
regarding the director selection process. The policy requires the committee to assess the skill areas currently represented on the board and those skill areas represented by directors
expected to retire or leave the board in the near future against the target skill areas established annually by the board, as well as recommendations of directors regarding skills that could
improve the overall quality and ability of the board to carry out its function. The Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee then establishes the specific target skill areas or experiences that are to be the focus of a director search, if
necessary. Specific qualities or experiences could include matters such as experience in the Companys industry, financial or technological expertise, experience in situations comparable to the Companys (e.g., growth companies, companies
that have grown through acquisitions, or companies that have restructured their asset portfolios successfully), leadership experience and relevant geographical experience. The effectiveness of the boards diverse mix of skills and experiences
is considered as part of each board self-assessment.
Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors
The Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The committee
regularly assesses the mix of skills and industries currently represented on the board, whether any vacancies on the board are expected due to retirement or otherwise, the skills represented by retiring directors, and additional skills highlighted
during the board self-assessment process that could improve the overall quality and ability of the board to carry out its responsibilities. In the event vacancies are anticipated, or arise, the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee
considers various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the committee through current board members, professional search firms, shareholders or other persons. The committee or a subcommittee may interview
potential candidates to further assess the qualifications possessed by the candidates and their ability to serve as a director. The committee then determines the best qualified candidates based on the established criteria and recommends those
candidates to the board for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders.
Shareholder Nominees
The Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee will consider nominees for the board of directors recommended by shareholders. If a
11
shareholder wishes to recommend a nominee, he or she should write to the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee, care of Corporate Secretary, Weyerhaeuser Company, P.O. Box 9777,
Federal Way, WA 98063-9777, specifying the name of the nominee and the nominees qualifications for membership on the board of directors. Recommendations will be brought to the attention of and be considered by the committee.
The Companys Bylaws establish procedures for shareholder nominations of directors. See Future Shareholder Proposals and
Nominations below for more information.

units; and Mr. Williamson, $150,000 or 4,735 units. Mr. Sinkfield elected to defer $36,000 of earned cash fees into an interest bearing account under our Fee Deferral Plan for Directors. Amounts deferred into common stock equivalent units
or an interest bearing account will be repaid following the directors termination of service. |
(2) |
The amounts in this column reflect the grant date fair value of director compensation earned and paid in the form of RSUs. The grant date fair value was
computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, and is based on a grant date that is the date of the Companys annual meeting for each director. The number of RSUs awarded is based
on the amount of the fees to be paid in RSUs divided by the average of the high and the low price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions.
The average of the high and low price on April 11, 2013 was $31.68. Each of the directors other than the chairman of the board received $100,014 of RSUs in April 2013 or 3,157 RSUs. Mr. Williamson, as chairman of the board, received
$150,005 of RSUs or 4,735 RSUs. Of the number of RSUs earned, the following directors chose to defer RSUs into common stock equivalent units under our Fee Deferral Plan for Directors and were credited with the following common stock equivalent
units: Ms. Cafaro, 3,157 units; Mr. Kieckhefer, 3,157 units; Ms. Piasecki, 3,157 units; and Mr. Sinkfield, 3,157 units. Amounts deferred into common stock equivalent units under our Fee Deferral Plan will be paid following the
directors termination of service in the form of shares of the Companys common stock. |
Non-Employee
Director Compensation Program for 2013
The board believes that the level of non-employee director compensation should be based on
board and committee responsibilities and be competitive with comparable companies. In addition, the board believes that a significant portion of non-employee director compensation should align director interests with the long-term interests of
shareholders. As a result, in 2013, continuing non-employee directors, other than the chairman of the board, were compensated by:
|
|
|
a base annual retainer fee of $180,000, of which $100,000 (subject to share rounding) was paid in the form of RSUs and $80,000 was paid in cash;
and |
12
|
|
|
an additional cash annual retainer fee of $15,000 for the chair of the Audit Committee and $10,000 for each other committee chair.
|
The independent director serving as chairman of the board received an annual retainer of $300,000 of which $150,000
(subject to share rounding) was paid in RSUs and $150,000 was paid in cash.
Directors who are appointed to fill a vacancy on the board
are paid a pro rata amount of the annual retainer immediately following the effective date of the directors appointment. Directors who also are employees of the Company do not receive compensation for their service on the board or any
committees. Mr. Simons, who was elected as CEO-elect effective June 17, 2013 and as president and chief executive officer as of August 1, 2013, received director compensation in 2013 because he was a non-employee director at the time
he was elected to the board at the April 2013 shareholders meeting. Amounts paid to Mr. Simons are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below.
Annual Board Retainer Cash Fees
In 2013, each non-employee director elected to
the board at the April 2013 shareholders meeting received a cash annual board retainer fee of $80,000 per year. Non-employee directors who serve as chairs of Compensation Committee, Finance Committee and Governance and Corporate Responsibility
Committee received an additional cash retainer fee of $10,000. The non-employee director that served as the chair of the Audit Committee received an additional cash retainer fee of $15,000. No additional fees are paid for attending board or
committee meetings. All retainer fees are paid annually, immediately following the annual shareholders meeting. Directors who are appointed to fill a vacancy on the board are paid a pro rata amount of the annual retainer immediately following
the effective date of the directors appointment. The Company reimburses non-employee directors for actual travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their services. Compensation also is available for extended travel on board
business at the request of the board or a committee of the board at the rate of $2,000 per day, including travel days and work days.
Retainer Equity Awards
In
2013, each non-employee director elected to the board at the April shareholders meeting received
$100,000 (subject to share rounding) of the annual board retainer fee in the form of RSUs (or $150,000 for the chairman), with the number of RSUs determined by dividing the dollar amount of the
retainer equity award by the average of the high and the low price of Weyerhaeuser Companys common stock on the date of grant as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions. For April 2013
awards, the average of the high and low price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant was $31.68, which resulted in a grant of 3,157 RSUs for each of the directors and 4,735 for the chairman of the board. These RSUs vest over one
year and will be settled in shares of the Companys common stock at the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. The RSUs are forfeitable during the one-year vesting period; however, directors that leave the board during the one-year period
receive a pro-rata number of shares on the settlement date. RSUs granted to the directors are credited with dividends during the one-year vesting period. As the RSUs vest, dividends credited to the RSUs similarly vest. If any RSUs are forfeited,
dividends related to the forfeited shares also are forfeited.
The amount reported in the Stock Awards column for each director is the
dollar value of the RSUs awarded in 2013, computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Deferral Option for Cash Retainer
Directors may elect to defer all or a portion of the annual cash retainer. A director who elects to defer all or a portion of the cash retainer has
the option of deferring the designated amount into common stock equivalent units or into an interest-bearing account, in each case under the Fee Deferral Plan for Directors. The number of common stock equivalent units credited to a directors
account will be determined by dividing any cash being deferred into common stock equivalent units by the average of the high and the low price of the Companys common stock on the date such fees would have been paid in cash. Deferred stock
equivalent units will be paid in the form of shares of the Companys common stock at the end of the deferral period, but no earlier than the directors separation from service. During the deferral period, stock equivalent units are
credited with dividends, which are paid along with the
13
deferred shares at the end of the deferral period in the form of shares of the Companys common stock. Amounts deferred into the interest-bearing account will be paid in cash at the end of
the deferral period, but no earlier than the directors separation from service.
Deferral Option for Retainer Equity Awards
Directors may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their RSUs. Any deferred RSUs are deferred into common stock equivalent
units under the Fee Deferral Plan for Directors. RSUs deferred into common stock equivalent units are paid in the form of shares of the Companys common stock at the end of the deferral period, but no earlier than the directors separation
from service. During the deferral period, stock equivalent units are credited with dividends, which are paid along with the deferred shares at the end of the deferral period in the form of shares of the Companys common stock.
Share Ownership Guidelines for Directors
The board of directors has adopted share ownership guidelines under which directors are
required to own shares of Weyerhaeuser Company common stock valued at five times their cash compensation. Until the ownership requirement has been satisfied, a director may sell RSUs that vest to
pay the taxes due upon vesting, but must otherwise hold 100% of the net shares granted to him or her. RSUs or cash retainer fees deferred into common stock equivalent units under the Fee Deferral Plan for Directors are included for purposes of
determining whether a director has satisfied the share ownership requirement. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the compliance of the directors with the share ownership guidelines.
Director Compensation Review Practices
The Compensation Committee is
responsible for annually reviewing the Companys non-employee director compensation practices in relation to comparable companies. Any changes to be made to non-employee director compensation practices must be recommended by the Compensation
Committee for approval by the board of directors.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Companys directors and certain of its officers to file reports of their ownership of Weyerhaeuser stock and of changes in such ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and
the New York Stock Exchange. Based solely on the Companys review of the copies of such reports it has received, the Company believes that all of its directors and officers filed all such reports on a timely basis with respect to transactions
during 2013, except that each of the officers failed to file a Form 4 within the required timeline relating to the reporting of common shares withheld by the Company to satisfy tax withholdings on the vesting of restricted stock units and
performance share units in February 2013.

Compensation and Governance Highlights
Compensation
|
|
|
Short-term incentive programs are funded based primarily on the absolute financial performance of each individual business and partly based on
the performance of the business against certain pre-approved metrics, such as competitive performance, financial measures and performance against strategic goals. Based on their absolute financial performance and performance against their business
metrics, the Timberlands plan funded at 1.42 times target, the Cellulose Fibers plan funded at 0.74 times target, the Wood Products plan funded at 1.9 times target, the Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO) plan funded at 0.62 times
target, and the pool for non-embedded staff funded at 1.17 times target. |
|
|
|
As a result of the Companys improved performance in 2013, the executive officers named in the compensation tables received a range of
annual incentive payments from 74% to 158% of target levels for 2013. |
|
|
|
Long-term incentive grants for executive officers in 2013 included a mix of forms of equity, with 50% of the value of the award granted as
performance share units, 25% of the value granted as stock options and 25% of the value granted as restricted stock units, consistent with the long-term incentive grant mix in 2012 and 2011. |
|
|
|
Performance share units granted in 2013 are earned based on the Companys performance against cash flow targets for 2013 and relative total
shareholder return over a two-year period, with 50% of the earned shares paid at the end of two years and 50% of the remaining earned shares vesting over an additional two-year period. For performance share units granted in 2012, which had the same
design and structure, the Company exceeded the 2012 cash flow target and ranked above the top 71st percentile with regard to total shareholder return for 2012 and 2013. As a result, the named executive officers earned 143% of their 2012 target
grants. Fifty percent of the shares earned vested and were payable to the officers in February 2014 and the remaining 50% will vest and become payable in two equal annual installments in February 2015 and 2016. |
|
|
|
At our 2013 annual meeting, more than 97% of the votes cast supported our executive compensation program. |

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND PRINCIPLES
Weyerhaeusers compensation philosophy is to motivate and reward employees for performance
that will result in superior financial results and create long-term value for shareholders. The following key compensation principles guide the design and administration of the Companys
overall compensation program:
|
|
|
clearly communicate the desired behavior and use incentive pay programs to reward the achievement of performance goals;
|
|
|
|
maintain total compensation opportunities at market-competitive levels; |
|
|
|
provide a broad range of payout opportunities based on performance; and |
|
|
|
design simple pay programs to control costs and ensure employee understanding.
|
Total Compensation
To provide a competitive overall compensation and benefits package that is tied to creating shareholder value and that supports the
execution of its business strategies, Weyerhaeuser uses a range of compensation components. The combination and the amount of each component are influenced by the role of the person in the Company, market data, and the total value of all the
compensation and benefits and perquisites available to the person. The compensation program for executive officers is comprised of:
|
|
|
|
|
Element |
|

Compensation Mix
The Companys executive compensation programs are designed to incentivize executives to achieve Company and business segment performance objectives and align our executives interests with
those of our shareholders. We seek to accomplish these goals through an appropriate mix of
short-
term and long-term compensation, by providing a larger percentage of our executive officers total compensation opportunity in the form of equity compensation, and by ensuring that a
significant portion of our executive officers total pay opportunity is in the form of performance-based compensation.
18
The following charts illustrate 2013 target compensation for each of Mr. Simons, Mr. Fulton
and all other named executive officers by type of compensation.
|
|
|
Fixed vs. performance-based compensation. We believe our mix of fixed (primarily base salary and restricted stock units) and
performance-based compensation (primarily annual incentive plan, performance share units, and stock options), with a significant weighting toward performance-based compensation at the executive officer level, supports the Companys overall
pay-for-performance culture and drives superior business performance. The percentage of an employees compensation opportunity that is performance-based, versus fixed, is based primarily on the employees role in the Company. In general,
employees with more ability to directly influence overall Company and business segment performance have a greater portion of variable, performance-based pay at risk through short- and long-term incentive programs. |
|
|
|
Short-term vs. long-term compensation. We believe our mix of short-term (primarily base salary and annual incentive plan) and
long-term (primarily performance share units, stock options and restricted stock units) incentives, with a significant portion of total compensation provided through long-term incentives for our executive officers, encourages focus on both long-term
strategic objectives and shorter-term business objectives without introducing excessive risk. |
|
|
|
Cash vs. equity compensation. We believe our mix of cash (primarily base salary and annual incentive plan) and equity (primarily
performance share units, stock options and restricted stock units) compensation, with a significant portion of each executive officers total compensation opportunity coming through equity incentive grants, closely aligns the interests of our
executive officers with those of our shareholders. In general, employees with more ability to directly influence overall Company and business segment performance have a greater portion of total pay opportunity provided through equity incentive
programs. |
Performance Management
Weyerhaeusers policy is to provide rewards for the achievement of specific performance goals. The Company uses an annual Performance Management Process (PMP) for its employees to
assess individual performance. In the PMP process, each employee, including each of the named executive officers, establishes his or her performance goals at the beginning of the year in consultation with the employees manager. The chief
executive officers performance goals are approved by the board of directors. These performance goals, against which performance is assessed multiple times during the year, include a broad spectrum of metrics, such as safety results, workforce
effectiveness, financial and operating results, strategy, people development, governance and corporate responsibility, environment and sustainability, and customer value delivery. At the end of the year, the employees performance is assessed
against these multiple goals, which results in an aggregate ranking of exceeds, achieves or below. The Compensation Committee and the board of directors review the CEOs performance against his goals
annually. The overall ranking is one factor in decisions regarding compensation.
Key performance goals for named executive officers in
2013 were principally in the areas of: cash flow generation, total shareholder returns, manufacturing excellence, relative competitive performance, capital effectiveness, strategic priorities, safety, workforce effectiveness, and people development.
Mr. Simons principal individual performance goals for 2013 were developing and communicating key strategic priorities, implementing a rigorous and disciplined process for driving improved performance through operational excellence and
people development, and managing senior leader succession.
19
Mr. Fultons key individual performance goals for 2013 were in the areas of succession planning and leadership development, implementation of strategic priorities, and financial
performance. For 2013 compensation decisions, each of the named executive officers was deemed to have performed at the level of achieves or above in relation to his or her goals.
Forms of Long-Term Incentive Compensation
For grants made in 2013, the
long-term incentive program for senior officers, including the named executive officers, included a mix of forms of equity, with 50% of the value of the award granted as performance share units, 25% of the value granted as stock options and 25% of
the value granted as time-vested restricted stock units. This mix puts more compensation at risk for senior executives and provides for greater rewards if superior performance is generated. To recognize the differences between the forest products
businesses and the homebuilding business, senior management of the Companys homebuilding and real estate development business, which is operated through WRECO and its subsidiaries, including a named executive officer, also participated in a
cash long-term incentive plan more aligned with the direct financial results of the homebuilding subsidiaries.
Market Positioning
The Company establishes competitive compensation levels based on market reviews and then designs its pay program to focus executive
officers on meeting Company performance objectives. Weyerhaeusers strategy is to set total compensation and benefit levels within the median range of market pay and benefit levels. Each component of total compensation and other benefits is
intended to be consistent with market practices as established by the peer group outlined below to help the Company attract and retain executives with the skills needed in Weyerhaeusers businesses.
Weyerhaeuser regularly reviews market compensation levels to determine whether total compensation for its employees remains in the targeted median
pay range and makes adjustments when needed. This assessment includes evaluation of base salary, annual incentive opportunities and long-term incentives. In addition, rewards such as
health benefits and retirement programs are regularly assessed relative to the market. The Company also reviews the competitive performance of its peers to establish performance targets for
incentive plans and to assess appropriate payout levels for performance. For 2013, total target compensation for each of the named executive officers was within the market median range for similarly situated executive officers in the competitive
market, with Messrs. Simons and Fulton at median, Ms. Bedient and Mr. Gideon slightly above median, and all other named executive officers slightly below median. See Compensation Components below for details.

In addition to reviewing the current pay practices of these peers, the Compensation Committee reviews
various pay surveys, including surveys of pay practices of forest products companies and comparably-sized manufacturing companies and general industry data for similar size companies. The peer group and survey data generally are weighted into a
market composite based on equal weighting between the data sources, though the Compensation Committee may review the data separately to understand pay differences, if any, by industry or business segment and to assess whether any changes in pay data
from year to year reflect true market trends.
COMPENSATION COMPONENTSDETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION
Base Salary
Salaries are provided to employees as compensation for basic services to the Company and to meet the objective of attracting and retaining the
talent needed to run the business. Salaries provide a consistent cash flow to employees assuming acceptable levels of performance and ongoing employment. To control fixed costs while still enabling the Company to attract critical talent,
Weyerhaeuser generally targets base salaries at the median level among the companies described above. Increases in salaries generally are based on the market level salary for the role in which the executive serves, individual PMP assessments,
overall Company budgets and specific talent needs. Mr. Simons base pay was set slightly below median to reflect the Companys general philosophy to have a greater portion of the chief executive officers pay at risk through
short-and long-term incentive programs versus base pay. Mr. Fulton received an increase in base salary in 2013 to bring his salary closer to market median and to reflect superior performance in the CEO role. Ms. Bedients and
Mr. Gideons base salaries were slightly above the median range, however, each received a modest increase in base salary for 2013 due to performance contributions in their respective roles. Messrs. Burrows, Chandrasekaran and Orser
received increases in base salary to keep their respective pay levels within the median range and in the case of Mr. Chandrasekaran, to reflect the assumption of new responsibilities for the Research & Development and Technology
organization. Base salaries for the named executive officers in 2013 are listed in the following table.

Short-Term Incentive Plans
The Company has two short-term incentive plans, both of which are cash bonus incentive plans designed to focus executive officers and other
participants on maximizing efficiency and generating strong financial performance. Salaried employees of the corporate and forest products segments, including named executive officers, participate in the Annual Incentive Plan (AIP).
Employees of the Companys homebuilding and real estate development subsidiaries, including the WRECO president, participate in the WRECO Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP). Each participant is assigned a target bonus opportunity
under the employees respective short-term incentive plan reflecting competitive practices in the market for similar positions. Both the AIP and the STIP are funded based on achieving pre-established financial performance targets, as described
in more detail below. The principal financial performance metric used in each plan is different because each plan uses the standard performance metric typically
21
used by each of the industries. Bonuses are awarded to individual employees based on the level of plan funding and the persons performance against his or her PMP goals. In general,
executive officers with a PMP rating of achieves receive an award at or near the bonus level funded by financial and business performance.
AIP Performance Measures and Plan Mechanics
The AIP is an annual cash bonus
plan focused on the performance of the businesses in the Companys Timberlands, Wood Products and Cellulose Fibers segments (the Forest Products segments). The Companys businesses tend to be cyclical and influenced by separate
factors, highlighting the need to view each of the Companys businesses separately. The AIP is designed to be easy for employees to understand and give them a clear view of the effect of their business improvement efforts on their compensation.
AIP funding:
|
|
|
for the chief executive officer, is based 80% on the achievement of Company return on net assets (RONA) targets;
|
|
|
|
for the Wood Products and Cellulose Fibers businesses, is based 80% on the RONA achieved by the respective business; and
|
|
|
|
for the Timberlands business, is based 80% on the funds from operations (FFO) achieved by the business. |
FFO is defined as earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), less 1031 exchanges and gains on large asset sales, plus depletion,
depreciation and amortization, plus the net book value of cash from sales of land, and less fertilizer spending. FFO is used as a performance measure for the Timberlands business because it is a commonly used metric by real estate investment trusts
(REITs) to measure operating performance. FFO is intended to focus participants on generating cash flow, which supports the Companys focus on maintaining a sustainable dividend for shareholders.
RONA is defined as EBIT divided by average net assets. For purposes of determining RONA, net assets equals total assets, less cash and short-term
investments, deferred tax assets, consolidated assets from special purpose entities,
capitalized interest, and current liabilities. RONA is used as the performance measure for the chief executive officer and the Wood Products and Cellulose Fibers businesses given its strong link
over time to total shareholder return in the basic materials sector and for Weyerhaeuser. The use of this measure is intended to focus participants on generating profitability, both through increasing revenues and controlling costs. In addition, use
of this measure reinforces the importance of making capital investments that will improve the Companys overall returns.
The
Compensation Committee has discretion to adjust the earnings used in the FFO or RONA calculations for special items as appropriate. In 2013, charges for impairments and restructurings were excluded. Additionally, earnings and assets from the
Longview Timber LLC business, which was acquired in July 2013, were excluded from the calculation of 2013 FFO and RONA for AIP purposes. Further, expenses relating to the acquisition of the Longview Timber LLC business and the pending disposition of
the WRECO business were excluded from the calculation of 2013 earnings for AIP purposes.
The remainder of the funding for the AIP
(20%) is based on the performance of each business against certain business metrics approved in advance by the Compensation Committee (the business scorecard). The business scorecard metrics are in areas such as financial and
competitive performance, cash generation, performance against strategic goals, and safety. Funding for performance against the business scorecard metrics is capped at target or below by various factors, such as the failure to achieve profitability.
Employees of businesses in the Forest Products segments, including the executive officer leading a segment and any staff function
employee who works only in that businesss facilities or substantially in support of that business, receive bonuses based on the performance of the business against its FFO (for Timberlands) or RONA (for Wood Products and Cellulose Fibers)
targets and business scorecard metrics, modified by the performance of the individual employee against his or her performance goals.
22
Other non-embedded staff function employees receive annual bonuses based on the actual funding of the
AIP for the Timberlands, Wood Products, Cellulose Fibers and WRECO businesses (based 25% on each business segments funding) modified by the performance of the individual employee against his or her performance goals. This funding mechanism is
designed to focus support staff efforts on helping all of the businesses to be successful.
AIP Performance Target Setting
Business performance targets required to be met by the businesses to fund 80% of their AIP are established by the Compensation
Committee at the beginning of each plan year and are not subject to adjustment by Company management. The Compensation Committee determines the level of
FFO or RONA performance necessary for funding the threshold, target and maximum levels, which represent 20%, 100% and 200% of target funding levels. If the segments FFO (for Timberlands) or
RONA (for Wood Products and Cellulose Fibers and the chief executive officer) is below the threshold, the funding level for this portion of the AIP is 0%.
These targets are established based on a variety of factors.
|
|
|
The amount required to fund the Companys dividend is an important factor in establishing the threshold performance goal.
|
|
|
|
The cost of capital for each segment, near-term outlook, and competitive position influences the performance goal set for target funding.
|
|
|
|
Internal benchmarks of outstanding performance influence the performance goal set for maximum funding.
|
For 2013, the Compensation
Committee set FFO and RONA funding targets for the businesses and the Company at the following levels:

WRECO STIP Performance Measures and Plan Mechanics
Employees of the Companys homebuilding subsidiaries, including the WRECO president, participate in the STIP and are not eligible to
participate in any other annual incentive plan offered by the Company. Funding for the STIP is based 60% on WRECOs absolute return on investment (ROI), 20% on its competitive ROI ranking and 20% based on performance against a set
of business metrics. ROI, which is the financial performance metric typically used in the homebuilding industry, is defined as WRECOs annual earnings before interest expense, capitalized interest amortized to cost of sales and taxes, divided
by a five-quarter average of Invested Capital. Invested Capital is defined as total assets,
less non-interest bearing liabilities and capitalized interest. ROI is used as the measure to focus participants on achieving top quartile competitive performance.
At the beginning of the year, STIP participants are assigned a target bonus that reflects competitive practices in the market for similar
positions. Bonus opportunities range from 0% to 460% of the target incentive value based on the participants performance against the performance metrics with final awards approved by the Companys chief executive officer and the
Compensation Committee. Award amounts in excess of 300% of target are automatically deferred for a minimum of two years. The Compensation Committee, at its discretion, may recover reasonable amounts from this
23
holdback amount if appropriate due to a restatement of income for the plan period or a material adjustment to income for the plan period in subsequent years. For 2013, asset impairments and
expenses relating to the pending disposition of the WRECO business were excluded from the calculation of ROI for STIP purposes.
WRECO STIP Performance Target Setting
The ROI targets established for each plan year are recommended by the Companys CEO and approved by the Compensation Committee. The minimum ROI threshold to fund the absolute and relative
competitive ranking components of the STIP in 2013 was 6%. The amount required to fund the Companys dividend is an important factor in establishing the threshold performance goal. This level also aligns with the minimum RONA funding levels in
the AIP. Target funding was set at 12% for ROI. The threshold competitive ROI ranking required to fund that component of the STIP in 2013 was a median competitive ranking. The business metrics used for 2013 funding focused on unit sales (threshold
2,864; target 3,183), single-family net margin (threshold $63 million; target $70 million), and cash from operations (threshold $26 million; target $32 million). The resulting funding multiple from all
components of the plan may not exceed 460% of target.
Bonus Opportunities Under the AIP and STIP
At the beginning of the year, each participant in the bonus plans, including named executive officers, was assigned a target bonus opportunity that
reflected competitive practices in the market for similar positions. Targets for the named executive officers ranged from 75% to 125% of base pay (Mr. Chandrasekarans target was increased from 75% to 85% upon his assumption of additional
responsibilities for Research & Development
and Technology in August 2013). The opportunity for each executive officer ranged from 0% to 300% of the target incentive value, other than for Mr. Orser who had a maximum bonus opportunity
of 460% of target. Targets set for the chief executive officer and the named executive officers were based on competitive market practices and designed to focus the executive on the overarching objective of improved operating performance.
Bonus Allocation Process
After the end of each plan year, the Compensation Committee approves the funding for the bonus based on the performance of each business against its pre-determined financial targets and business
scorecard metrics. The bonus opportunities for executive officers are adjusted up or down from each officers target opportunity based on the level of funding achieved (e.g., 50% funding would reduce an officers target opportunity by
half). Funded awards are allocated to executive officers based on each officers PMP rating. These ratings are established based on a qualitative and quantitative assessment of performance against the officers pre-established goals (see
Compensation Philosophy and PrinciplesPerformance Management) and other individual performance criteria. In general, an executive officer with a PMP rating of achieves receives an annual incentive award at or near his
or her funding-adjusted individual target level. Similarly, an executive officer with an exceeds rating may receive an annual incentive award greater than his or her individual funding-adjusted target level. Those with a
below rating typically receive less than the individual funding-adjusted target incentive opportunity. For 2013, each of the named executive officers was deemed to have performed at the level of achieves or above in relation to his or
her goals.

Effective August 21, 2013, Mr. Chandrasekarans target bonus was increased from 75% to 85% to reflect his assumption of new responsibilities for
the Research & Development and Technology organization. |
(3) |
Pursuant to a retention agreement entered into in connection with the strategic review regarding WRECO, if Mr. Orsers STIP was funded and paid at
less than his target bonus amount for 2013, his payment under the retention agreement would be equivalent to the difference between the amount actually payable under the STIP for 2013 and his STIP target amount for 2013. Because
Mr. Orsers 2013 earned STIP was less than his target, Mr. Orser received a payment of $117,504 under his retention agreement. This amount is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below. |

Mr. Simons bonus under the AIP was above target because the Companys RONA was above
target and because of Mr. Simons strong leadership in driving operational excellence throughout the organization, his work on people and leadership development, his engagement efforts with the Companys various stakeholders, and his
leadership in developing key strategic initiatives for the Company. For Mr. Fulton, his bonus under the AIP was above target because the Companys RONA was above target and because of his leadership on several key strategic transactions,
including the acquisition of Longview Timber and the strategic review process relating to WRECO, and his work on succession planning, including the seamless transition of, and support for, a new chief executive officer. Ms. Bedients bonus
was above target because the pool for non-embedded staff positions under the AIP funded above target and was further increased because of her leadership on the Longview Timber acquisition, including the related financing transactions, and WRECO
strategic review process as well as her efforts in supporting the transition to a new chief executive officer. Mr. Gideons bonus was above target because the Timberlands pool under the AIP funded above target and because of his efforts
relating to the Longview Timber acquisition. Notwithstanding that the Cellulose Fibers pool under the AIP funded below target, Mr. Chandrasekarans bonus was increased to reflect payout at target based on his continued leadership in
driving operational excellence, including cost-reduction initiatives, in the Cellulose Fibers business, for taking on new responsibilities for the Research & Development and Technology organization, as well as his exceptional efforts in
building and maintaining strong customer relationships both domestically and abroad. Mr. Orsers bonus was below target because the WRECO pool under the WRECO STIP funded below target; however, Mr. Orsers bonus amount was
increased in recognition of his exceptional leadership of the WRECO organization throughout the strategic review process, including retaining key personnel and driving performance of the business under challenging circumstances, and his significant
efforts in supporting the strategic review process, which ultimately resulted in the Company successfully reaching an agreement to combine WRECO with TRI Pointe Homes (as further described below). Mr. Burrows bonus was above target
because the Wood Products pool under the AIP funded above target.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Each year, target long-term incentive award opportunities are set for each of the Companys executives, including the named executive officers. Target award opportunities generally are set at
the median of peer companies. Grants of long-term incentives are not guaranteed and must be earned each year. These opportunities may be increased or decreased based on the executive officers PMP rating, using the criteria described in
Compensation Philosophy and PrinciplesPerformance Management. Participants do not receive an equity grant if performance against their PMP performance goals does not meet minimum standards. The Compensation Committee also considers
competitive market pressures, expected future contributions to the Company and retention concerns in determining the final grants to executive officers.
To fund the Companys long-term compensation programs, the Compensation Committee establishes an equity pool available for grant in any given year. The pool level is set within the median range
of competitive practices. For grants in 2013, the Compensation Committee established a pool of 2,648,955 shares, or 0.486%, of outstanding common shares (measured as of January 1, 2013) to be available for grants of performance share units,
stock options and restricted stock units to all participants. The pool is established assuming performance share units will pay out at target. In addition, the Compensation Committee considers the accounting costs reflected in the Companys
financial statements when establishing the forms of equity to be granted and the size of the overall pool. The forms of equity selected are intended to be cost-efficient, and the overall cost must be within the acceptable levels for internal
budgets.
Weyerhaeuser makes its annual long-term incentive grants to employees in February of each year at the regular meeting of the
Compensation Committee, which typically is within one to two weeks after the Company publicly releases earnings. The Compensation Committee meeting date was the effective grant date for the annual equity grants to all participants. For executive
officers who are hired or promoted during the year, the Compensation Committee considers compensation levels in connection with the boards appointment of the executive and approves equity grants for the
26
executive that are effective upon the later of (i) the officers start date or the effective date of the promotion or (ii) the date the grant is approved by the Compensation
Committee.
Total Long-Term Incentive Compensation Grants
The Compensation Committee established a target level of long-term incentives for each executive officer position based on the median of competitive market long-term incentive levels. For 2013, the
target long-term incentive values (as a percent of base salary) for the named executive officers were:

Mr. Simons was appointed as CEO-elect effective June 17, 2013 and assumed the role of president and chief executive officer on August 1, 2013.
Mr. Simons target long-term incentive grant made in June 2013 was a pro-rated amount based on his expected service from June through December 2013. |
(2) |
Mr. Chandrasekarans target long-term incentive compensation was set in February 2013 and the percentage reflected above is based on his base salary
as of such time. |
The long-term incentive awards were granted in the form of performance share units, stock options,
and time-vested restricted stock units, with approximately 50% of the value of the award granted in the form of performance share units, approximately 25% of the value in the form of stock options, and approximately 25% of the value in the form of
restricted stock units. To recognize the differences between the forest products businesses and the homebuilding business, senior management of WRECO, including Mr. Orser, also participated in a cash long-term incentive plan more aligned with
the direct financial results of the homebuilding subsidiaries, with approximately 25% of the value of his award granted in the form of company performance share units, approximately 25% of the value in the form of WRECO long-term incentive grants,
approximately 25% of the value in the form of stock options and approximately 25% of the value in the form of restricted stock units.
Long-term incentive awards granted to the named executive officers were generally at or above median
for the respective position. Mr. Simons long-term incentive grant was at median, on annualized basis, to ensure a competitive initial equity grant, which the committee deemed important as part of the effort to recruit a new chief
executive officer, as well as to be comparable to the prior CEOs equity compensation. Mr. Fultons long-term incentive grant was slightly above median as a result of his significant efforts in continuing to lead the Company through a
challenging environment and positioning the Company for future growth. Ms. Bedients long-term incentive grant was above median in recognition of her leadership and performance contributions executing Weyerhaeusers growth strategy
and guiding the Companys Wood Products profit improvement efforts. Mr. Chandrasekarans long-term incentive grant was above median based on his leadership and performance contributions as well as his leadership supporting the Wood
Products profit improvement efforts. Mr. Gideons long-term incentive grant was at median based on his performance contributions developing and executing Weyerhaeusers growth strategy. Mr. Orsers long-term incentive grant
was above median based on his leadership and performance contributions leading the WRECO organization during a challenging time in the homebuilding industry. Mr. Burrows long-term incentive grant was above median based on his leadership
and performance in supporting the Wood Products profit improvement initiative.
Performance Share Unit Awards
Weyerhaeuser granted performance share units to executive officers in 2013 to focus participants on strategic business goals and the effect of
operational decisions on shareholder returns. A target number of performance share units were granted to the named executive officers in 2013. The initial number of performance share units actually earned was based on the Companys performance
against cash flow metrics for 2013. Cash flow is defined as the Companys net change in cash and cash equivalents excluding payments for dividends, share repurchases and debt including any use of cash for early prepayment of debt; cash received
from the exercise of stock options, debt issuance and issuance of stock; acquisitions and dispositions beyond those identified as non-strategic in the annual plan; and adjusted for changes in book overdrafts and collateral posted
27
for letters of credit. In 2013, the cash flow excluded the effects of the acquisition of Longview Timber LLC, which closed in July 2013, including cash from the operations of Longview Timber,
transactions costs and the related financing. In addition, the cash flow excluded the transaction costs and expenses associated with the pending disposition of the WRECO business.
The initial number of performance share units earned will be adjusted up or down by 20% based on the Companys two-year total shareholder return (TSR) relative to the S&P 500
during 2013 and 2014. This mix of performance measures focuses the executive officer on the Companys strategic business goal of cash generation as well as the Companys shareholder return performance compared to a broad index of
companies. Use of these measures balances operational and market performance and ensures that performance against each measure has a significant effect on earned compensation. At the end of the two-year performance period, 50% of the performance
share units will be vested and payable to the participant, with the remaining performance share units vesting 25% a year over the subsequent two-year period to further align managements and shareholders interests. For grants in 2013
(other than with respect to Mr. Simons whose performance share unit targets are discussed below), the cash flow target was $535 to $565 million. This target was substantially higher than the targets for 2012. Achievement of the cash flow target
determines the initial number of performance share units earned as shown below.

Full year 2013 cash flow (calculated for purposes of the performance share units) was $737 million, resulting in an
initial number of performance share units earned equal to 150% of target. Cash flow for the combined third and fourth quarters of 2013,
which is the cash flow performance period under Mr. Simons June 2013 grant, was $494 million, resulting in an initial number of performance share units earned equal to 130% of
target. These performance share units will be decreased by 20% if the Companys relative TSR ranking over the two-year period is in the 25th percentile or lower. No modification will occur if the Companys relative TSR ranking is in the
50th percentile. The number of performance share units earned will be increased by 20% if the Companys relative TSR ranking is in the 75th percentile or greater. Payout for performance between points will be linearly interpolated. The maximum
number of performance share units that can be earned is capped at 150% of the target number of shares.
If the Company declares and pays
dividends on the Companys common stock during the time period when performance share units are outstanding, the performance share units will be credited with the dividends, which will be reinvested in additional units to be paid out in shares
if and when the performance share units vest. To the extent the performance share units vest and are paid to participants, the dividends credited to the performance share units will also vest and be paid.
The following table shows the target number of performance share units granted to each of the named executive officers and the initial number of
performance share units earned based on the Companys performance against the cash flow target for 2013. The initial number of performance share units will be adjusted up or down by up to 20% at the end of 2014 based on the Companys
two-year TSR ranking relative to the S&P 500 during 2013 and 2014 (subject to the 150% cap described above).

Mr. Simons performance share unit grant was made on
|
28
|
June 17, 2013 at the time of his appointment as CEO-elect. Mr. Simons 2013 performance share unit grant was pro-rated for his time in service for the year. The initial performance
goal for the performance share unit award for Mr. Simons was based on cash flow targets for the third and fourth quarters of 2013 and the target was selected to equal the full year projected cash flow amount at the time of Mr. Simons
grant less the cash flow achieved during the first and second quarters of 2013. The number of performance share units earned based on cash flow achieved during the third and fourth quarters of 2013 will be modified up or down by up to 20% based on
the Companys total shareholder return (TSR) for the period beginning on the date of grant and ending on December 31, 2014 relative to the S&P 500 during that period. The following table illustrates the cash flow targets

The Companys cash flow (calculated for purposes of the performance share units) was $394 million
for fiscal 2012, resulting in an initial number of performance share units from the 2012 grant being earned at 122% of target. The Companys two-year TSR ranking for 2012-2013 was slightly
below the 75th percentile, which resulted in the initial number of performance share units earned under such grants being increased by 17%.

Mr. Simons did not receive a performance share unit award for 2012 as he was not an executive officer during 2012. |
(2) |
Mr Burrows performance share unit award for 2012 was canceled per the Terms and Conditions of the grant (under the applicable provisions for early
retirement). |
The end of the two-year performance period for the 2012 grant was December 31, 2013. Fifty percent
of the earned 2012 performance share units were vested and payable to the participants as of the second anniversary of the grant date. Of the remaining 2012 performance share units, half will vest and be payable to the participant as of the third
anniversary of the grant date and half will vest and be payable as of the fourth anniversary of the grant date, assuming the participant remains an employee of the Company.
The vesting provisions for performance share units granted in 2013, to the extent earned, were as follows:
|
|
|
performance share units vest 50%, 25% and 25% on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, respectively, as long as the
individual remains employed by the Company; |
|
|
|
performance share units fully vest in the event of disability or death while employed; |
|
|
|
performance share units continue to vest upon retirement at an age of at least 62, but a portion of the grant is forfeited if retirement occurs
|
29
|
|
before the one-year anniversary of the grant depending on the number of months employed after grant date; |
|
|
|
performance share units continue vesting for one year in the event of involuntary termination due to job elimination when the retirement criteria
have not been met; and |
|
|
|
performance share units will be forfeited upon termination of employment in all other situations including early retirement prior to age 62.

Mr. Simons stock option grant was made on June 17, 2013 at the time of his appointment as CEO-elect. Mr. Simons 2013 stock option
grant was pro-rated for his time in service for the year. |
The value of the stock options granted in 2013 to the named
executive officers was approximately 25% of the value of the long-term incentive grant with the specific value of the long-term incentive grant based on the factors described above under Long-Term Incentive Grants.
The vesting and post-termination vesting terms for stock options granted in 2013 were as follows:
|
|
|
stock options vest ratably over 4 years with 25% vesting on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date;
|
|
|
|
stock options vest immediately in the event of disability or death while employed; |
|
|
|

|
|
|
stock options stop vesting and are forfeited for all other situations including early retirement prior to age 62. |
Restricted Stock Unit Awards
The Company grants restricted stock unit awards to align the interests of executive officers with those of our shareholders by creating a strong
incentive to create and preserve long-term shareholder value. Through restricted stock units, executives officers, like our shareholders, share both the risks and rewards of stock ownership. In addition, restricted stock units reward total
shareholder return, whether delivered through share price appreciation or dividends. The Company believes this is appropriate since, as a REIT, our dividend distribution requirements lead to a significant portion of our total shareholder return
being delivered through dividends. Through multi-year vesting, the restricted stock unit grants also serve as a retention device.
In
2013, the following restricted stock unit awards were granted to the named executive officers.

WRECO Cash LTIP
WRECO managers, including the named executive officer who is the president of WRECO, are eligible to participate in the LTIP. Funding for the LTIP is based on WRECOs performance and the
performance of each of its subsidiaries over a three-year period. For each of the 2011 (covering the period of 2011-2013), 2012 (covering the period of 2012-2014) and 2013 (covering the period 2013-2015) LTIP grants, performance for the president of
WRECO is measured in part by the
absolute pre-tax economic profit (PTEP) of WRECO (60%), and in part by WRECOs three-year competitive ROI ranking versus public home builders (40%). PTEP is defined as earnings
before interest and taxes, minus overhead costs charged by the Company, minus a cost of capital charge. The measures and targets are used to focus participants on achieving sustained top quartile competitive performance.
Each participant in the LTIP is assigned a target number of LTIP shares. For the president of WRECO, the ultimate value of each LTIP share is
determined by the achievement of WRECO PTEP plus the competitive ROI ranking of WRECO. The portion of the share value derived from ROI ranking is capped based on WRECOs absolute ROI. For the 2013 and 2012 LTIP grants, absolute ROI during the
performance period must be above 10% in order to achieve full funding under the competitive ROI ranking portion of the award. For the 2011 LTIP grant, absolute ROI during the performance period needed to be above 14% in order to achieve full funding
under the competitive ROI ranking portion of the award. Additionally, if WRECOs ROI was less than 6% during any measurement period, the earned value per unit for the competitive ROI portion would be $0. This level was chosen to ensure that the
LTIP would fund only if performance was above threshold Weyerhaeuser performance expectations.
2011 LTIP Grant
Mr. Orsers 2011 total WRECO LTIP award opportunity, which covered the period from 2011 through 2013, was based upon
the three-year absolute PTEP of WRECO and WRECOs three-year competitive ROI ranking versus public home builders (see following graphic), measured from January 1, 2011.

For the 2011 WRECO LTIP grant, which covered the performance cycle ending in 2013, WRECO achieved an
ROI ranking that was fourth in the peer group resulting in a share value of $250 per share for the for ROI ranking portion of Mr. Orsers award. The WRECO PTEP for the 2011 through 2013 period was $0, which resulted in a $0 per share value
for the PTEP portion of Mr. Orsers award.
As a result, Mr. Orser received a payment described in the following table
for his 2011 WRECO LTIP grant.

2012 and 2013 LTIP Grants
Similar to the 2011 LTIP grant, the total LTIP award possibility for Mr. Orsers 2012 and 2013 grants were based upon the three-year absolute PTEP of WRECO and WRECOs three-year
competitive ROI ranking versus public home builders. For the 2012 LTIP grant, the total target share value was set at $1,240 per share and Mr. Orser received a grant of 150 shares. For the 2013 LTIP grant, the total
target share value was set at $1,240 per share and Mr. Orser received a grant of 150 shares.
In contemplation of the pending transaction with TRI Pointe Homes (as further described below), the Compensation Committee approved a payout of the 2012 and 2013 LTIP grants for participating WRECO
employees, including Mr. Orser. Each of the 2012 and 2013 LTIP grants covered performance periods that would go well beyond the anticipated closing date for the transaction with TRI Pointe Homes. Consequently, achieving requisite performance
for future periods under the 2012 and 2013 LTIP grants would have been largely dependent upon strategic and operating decisions of the TRI Pointe Homes management team after closing, which strategic and operating decisions might not be consistent
with the assumptions used in setting the metrics and targets for the 2012 and 2013 LTIP grants. Consequently, the Company determined it was appropriate to pay out the 2012 and 2013 LTIP grants prior to closing the transaction with TRI Pointe Homes.
The payout amounts were determined by using a conservative estimate of future performance (based on performance to date) and applying a discount to both compensate for risk to achieving the estimated performance as well as to take into consideration
the earlier receipt of payout amounts.

Retention Awards for WRECO President
In June 2013, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives with respect to WRECO and that the Board intended to consider a broad range of
alternatives including continuing to operate WRECO, or a merger, sale or spin-off of the business. In November 2013, we announced that the Company had entered into a transaction agreement with TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (TRI Pointe Homes)
pursuant to which WRECO will be divested through a Reverse Morris Trust transaction and ultimately become a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Homes. The Company entered into an initial retention agreement with Mr. Orser in August 2013 in
connection with the Companys plan to explore strategic alternatives for WRECO. The initial retention agreement provided that Mr. Orser would receive, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, his target bonus amount for 2013 under
the STIP. Under the terms of the retention agreement, if Mr. Orsers STIP was funded and paid at less than his target bonus amount for 2013, his payment under the retention agreement would be equivalent to the difference between the amount
actually payable under the STIP for 2013 and his STIP target amount for 2013. If Mr. Orsers STIP was funded at or greater than his target bonus amount for 2013, there would be no additional payment due under the retention agreement. The
Compensation Committee determined that this retention arrangement was appropriate and in the Companys best interest to ensure that Mr. Orser remained with the organization and that he was appropriately incentivized to continue to manage
the homebuilding and real estate business through a challenging process of exploring strategic alternatives for WRECO. Mr. Orser satisfied the conditions for his initial retention agreement, which retention payment became due and payable in
March 2014. Because the amounts under Mr. Orsers initial retention agreement were payable in March 2014 (concurrent with the STIP payout), and the transaction with TRI Pointe Homes is expected to close later in the second quarter of 2014,
the Compensation Committee determined that it would be appropriate to enter into an additional retention arrangement to ensure Mr. Orsers continued engagement in managing the WRECO business and supporting the transaction through the date
of closing. Consequently, the Company entered into an additional retention arrangement with Mr. Orser, pursuant to which
Mr. Orser will receive an additional retention bonus in the amount of $460,000 at the time of closing the transaction with TRI Pointe Homes, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions
including his continued employment through the date of closing.
Other Benefits
All U.S. and Canadian salaried employees, including executive officers, are eligible for:
|
|
|
a tax-qualified defined benefit retirement or pension plan (the Weyerhaeuser Pension Plan), if hired before January 1, 2014,
|
|
|
|
a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, |
|
|
|
health and dental coverage, |
|
|
|
Company-paid term life insurance, |
These rewards are designed to be competitive with overall market practices and are in place to attract and retain the talent needed in the
business. In addition, officers may be eligible to participate in a supplemental retirement plan, if hired before January 1, 2014, and deferred compensation plan and to receive other benefits described below.
Supplemental Retirement Plan
Executives and other highly-paid officers in the U.S. are eligible to participate in the Supplemental Retirement Plan (the Supplemental
Plan). The Supplemental Plan provides the benefits that would otherwise be provided under the qualified plan, but are not as a result of limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Supplemental Plan is provided because it is a competitive
practice within the basic materials industry. Supplemental Plan benefits are paid outside the Weyerhaeuser Pension Plan (the Plan) from the general funds of the Company. Consistent with general market practices, these benefits are
determined based on compensation paid in the five consecutive years when the officer was paid the highest total compensation during the 10 calendar years before his or her retirement. Total compensation means base salary plus any award under the
Companys eligible annual incentive compensation plans, limited to one times base pay. This amount is multiplied by the formula for determining salaried plan benefits under the Plan. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company should
provide competitive retirement benefits linked to overall Company performance
33
through the Supplemental Plan funding mechanism. Details of the Supplemental Plan benefits and the amounts accrued to each named executive officer are found in the Pension Benefits Table.
Deferred Compensation
Selected high-level employees, including executive officers, also are eligible to participate in a deferral plan. The deferral plan provides the opportunity to defer up to 50% of base salary and up
to 100% of cash bonuses into an interest-bearing account for payment at a future date. This plan is provided to be competitive in the market for executive talent, and to provide executives with tax planning flexibility at a nominal cost to the
Company. The interest earned for deferred compensation is determined each year by the Compensation Committee. The current interest rate formula is the average of 90-day Treasury bill rates over the prior year plus 3%. The 2013 rate of 3.08% is
considered to be a preferential return when compared to the applicable long-term federal rate.
In addition, under the deferral program,
eligible participants, including executive officers, can choose to defer all or a portion of any cash bonus into a deferral account denominated in Weyerhaeuser common stock equivalent units. The Company applies a 15% premium to the deferred amounts
if payment is delayed for at least five years. The value of the deferred account grows or declines based on the performance of Weyerhaeuser stock (plus dividends). The purpose of the program is to further align executive interests with those of
shareholders by providing an incentive linked to the performance of Weyerhaeuser stock. Contributions during 2013 and year-end account balances can be found in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table.
Additional Benefits
Another
benefit available to certain Company officers, including executive officers, is additional company-paid life insurance. The Company does not provide vehicles for personal use or personal travel for executives on Company aircraft.
OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING COMPENSATION
Limitations on Deductibility of Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits the tax deductibility of compensation paid by a public company to its chief executive officer and certain other highly compensated
executive officers to $1 million in the year the compensation becomes taxable to the executive. There is an exception to the limit on deductibility for performance-based compensation that meets certain requirements.
In establishing total compensation for the chief executive officer and the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers the
effect of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, the Company believes that it is important to preserve flexibility in administering compensation programs in a manner designed to attract, retain and reward high-performing
executives or promote varying corporate goals. Accordingly, the Company has not adopted a policy that all compensation must qualify as deductible under Section 162(m). Amounts paid under any of the Companys compensation programs,
including salaries and annual incentive plan bonuses may not qualify under the IRS rules as compensation excluded from the limitation on deductibility. Weyerhaeuser has a salary and deferral plan that permits compensation deferred under the plan to
be exempt from the limit on tax deductibility.
For individual tax purposes, the Company typically withholds shares to cover taxes
resulting from vesting of performance share unit awards and restricted stock unit awards.
Change in Control Agreements
The Company has entered into change in control agreements with each of its executive officers. The Compensation Committee believes
that change in control policies are an important element of the executive compensation program, support shareholder value creation and are necessary to attract and retain senior talent in a competitive market. Because the agreements give the
executive officers reasonable assurance of transitional employment support, the Compensation Committee believes executive officers are able to maintain a more balanced, shareholder-focused approach to
34
change in control situations. The Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to have such agreements provided the agreements are subject to periodic review. The Compensation Committee
periodically reviews the benefits provided under the agreements to ensure that they serve the Companys interests in retaining these key executives, are consistent with market practice and are reasonable.
These agreements provide for specified payments and other benefits if the officers employment was terminated by the Company or its successor
during the period beginning on the effective date of a change in control of the Company and ending 24 months after a change in control. Change in control payments are not made if the termination is for cause, retirement, disability or death. Change
in control payments also may be required if the officer leaves voluntarily because of significant changes in the officers circumstances following the change in control. See the description of the specific factors that would result in a change
in control payment and the amounts that can be received in connection with a change in control in Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control below. The changes triggering a change in control payment and the amounts paid are
intended to enable executive officers to have a balanced perspective in making overall business decisions and to be competitive within overall market practices.
In addition, the Companys long-term incentive plans provide that in the event the officer is terminated, other than for cause, during the period beginning the effective date of a change in
control and ending 24 months after a change in control of the Company, all outstanding options held by the officer become exercisable, restricted stock units are vested and released for sale and performance shares will vest and pay out at target.
The accelerated vesting and payout of equity grants in the event of a change in control are intended to allow the executives to recognize the value of their contributions to the Company and encourage executive officers to take a balanced perspective
in making overall business decisions in the context of a change in control scenario. The agreements do not provide for payment of golden parachute excise taxes, if any.
Severance Agreements
The Company has severance agreements with each of its executive officers. Under these agreements, the executive receives severance benefits upon termination unless the termination is for cause, is a
result of the Companys mandatory retirement policy, is because of the death or disability of the executive or is because the executive leaves or retires voluntarily. The specific amounts that executive officers would receive as severance
payments are described in Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control below. The Compensation Committee believes that severance policies are an essential component of the executive compensation program and are necessary to
attract and retain senior talent in a competitive market. The Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to have such agreements provided the agreements are subject to periodic review. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the
benefits provided under the agreements to ensure that they serve the Companys interests in retaining these key executives, are consistent with market practice and are reasonable.
RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONSULTANT
Cook & Co. has been engaged by the
Compensation Committee to act as its compensation consultant and to assist the committee with its responsibilities related to the Companys executive and board of director compensation programs. A representative of Cook & Co. attends
Compensation Committee meetings, as requested, and communicates with the Chair of the Compensation Committee between meetings.
The
Compensation Committee has the sole authority from the board of directors for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the Companys independent compensation consultant.
Cook & Co. reports directly to the Compensation Committee and all work conducted by Cook & Co. for Weyerhaeuser is on behalf of the committee. Cook & Co. provides no
services to the Company other than these executive and board of director compensation consulting services, and has no other direct or indirect business relationships with the Company or any of its affiliates. All executive
35
compensation services provided by Cook & Co. are conducted under the direction and authority of the Compensation Committee.
In addition, in its engagement agreement with the committee, Cook & Co. agrees to advise the Chair of the Compensation Committee if any potential conflicts of interest arise that could
cause Cook & Co.s independence to be questioned, and to undertake no projects for Weyerhaeuser management except at the request of the Compensation Committee Chair and as agent for the Compensation Committee. The Compensation
Committee has reviewed the independence of Cook & Co. and has concluded that Cook & Co.s work has not raised any conflict of interest.
MANAGEMENTS ROLE IN THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROCESS
Daniel Fulton, who served as the
Companys president and chief executive officer until August 1, 2013, and John Hooper, the Companys senior vice president, human resources, each played an important role in the Compensation Committees executive compensation
process for 2013 and regularly attended committee meetings. Additionally, Doyle Simons, who became president and chief executive officer on August 1, 2013, attended committee meetings and participated in executive compensation decisions after
assuming the position of CEO-elect in June 2013. Mr. Simons had served on the Compensation Committee prior to becoming CEO-elect in June 2013, but he resigned from the committee upon taking on the CEO-elect position. During the periods in which
Mr. Fulton and Mr. Simons served as the Companys chief executive officer, each provided his respective opinions to the committee regarding executive compensation matters generally and the performance of the executives reporting to
him. The Companys human resources executives presented recommendations to the committee on the full range of annual executive compensation decisions. At the committees February 2013 meeting, the first meeting after the end of the fiscal
year, the human resources executives presented the committee with specific compensation recommendations for all executives other than Mr. Fulton. These recommendations were developed in consultation with Mr. Fulton and accompanied by
market data provided by the Compensation Committees compensation consultant. The committee exercised its independent
discretion whether to accept managements recommendations and made final decisions about each executive officers compensation. Decisions related to president and chief executive
officer compensation were made independently by the committee, in consultation with its consultant, and recommended to the full board of directors. Wayne Murdy, the committees chair, also met periodically with the human resources executives to
confer on current and upcoming topics likely to be brought before the committee.
COMPENSATION
COMMITTEE REPORT
The
Compensation Committee acts on behalf of the board of directors to establish and oversee the Companys executive compensation program in a manner that serves the interests of Weyerhaeuser and its shareholders. For a discussion of the
Compensation Committees policies and procedures, see Compensation Committee above.
Management of the Company has
prepared the CD&A for the named executive officers set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the CD&A included in this proxy statement. Based on this review and
discussions, the committee recommended to the board of directors that the CD&A be included in the proxy statement for the Companys 2014 annual meeting of shareholders.

any prior period, except Mr. Simons who did not serve as an officer of the Company during the time in which he was a member of the Compensation Committee. No executive officer of the Company
served as a member of the compensation committee or as a director of any company where an executive officer of such company is a member of the Compensation Committee or is a director of the Company.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Companys first Code of Ethics was issued in 1976. The Code of Ethics currently is in its eighth edition and is issued to all directors and
employees. It also is available to customers, contractors, suppliers and the public. The current edition of the Code of Ethics is available on the Companys web site at www.weyerhaeuser.com under Company at the top of the
page, Investors, and then under the Governance link. Paper copies may be obtained by written request to Weyerhaeuser Company, Attention: Corporate Secretary, P.O. Box 9777, Federal Way, WA 98063-9777 or by email at
CorporateSecretary@Weyerhaeuser.com.
PROHIBITION AGAINST HEDGING
The board of directors has approved a
policy that prohibits our directors and executive officers from hedging their ownership of the Companys stock, including trading in options, puts, calls, or other derivative instruments related to Company stock or debt. The policy also
prohibits directors and executive officers from pledging Company stock and trading Company stock on margin. A copy of the Companys policy is available on the Companys website at www.weyerhaeuser.com under Company at
the top of the page, Investors, then under the Governance link and then under Governance Guidelines. Paper copies may be
obtained by written request to Weyerhaeuser Company, Attention: Corporate Secretary, P.O. Box 9777, Federal Way, WA 98063-9777 or by email at CorporateSecretary@Weyerhaeuser.com.
CLAWBACK POLICY
The board of directors has approved an incentive compensation clawback policy to ensure that incentive compensation is paid based on accurate
financial and operating data, and the correct calculation of performance against incentive targets. It provides that in the event of a restatement of the financial or operating results of the Company or one of its segments, the Company may seek
recovery of incentive compensation that would not otherwise have been paid if the correct performance data had been used to determine the amount payable. A copy of the Companys clawback policy is available on the Companys website at
www.weyerhaeuser.com under Company at the top of the page, Investors, then under the Governance link and then under Governance Guidelines. Paper copies may be obtained by written request to
Weyerhaeuser Company, Attention: Corporate Secretary, P.O. Box 9777, Federal Way, WA 98063-9777 or by email at CorporateSecretary@Weyerhaeuser.com.
STOCK
OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Stock ownership requirements for executive officers have been in place since 1996, and were amended in 2011. Under the current requirements, each
executive officer must acquire and hold a multiple of his or her base salary in shares of Weyerhaeuser stock. Minimum ownership levels are based on the executives salary grade and range from one to five times base salary as follows.
|
|
|

Until the required ownership levels are achieved, executives must retain 75% of the net profit shares
acquired when restricted stock units and performance share units vest. Net profit shares are shares remaining after payment of taxes upon vesting.
SHAREHOLDER
ADVISORY VOTE
The
Companys shareholders annually vote on a proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. This proposal, commonly known as a say-on-pay proposal, was supported by more than 97% of the
votes cast at last years annual meeting. Our board of directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and have considered the results of the say-on-pay vote from the prior year. To the extent there are
significant votes against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our shareholders concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those
concerns in making future compensation decisions.
RISK ANALYSIS OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAMS
The Compensation Committee reviews our compensation plans and policies to ensure that they do not encourage unnecessary risk taking and instead
encourage behaviors that support sustainable value creation. In 2013, the committee, with the assistance of Cook & Co., reviewed the Companys compensation policies and practices for employees, including named executive officers, and
believes that our compensation programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. We believe the following factors reduce the likelihood of excessive risk-taking:
|
|
|
The program design provides a balanced mix of cash and equity, short-term and long-term incentives, fixed and performance-based pay, and
performance metrics; |
|
|
|
Maximum payout levels for bonuses are capped; |
|
|
|
The Compensation Committee has downward discretion over incentive program payouts; |
|
|
|
Executive officers are subject to share ownership guidelines; |
|
|
|
Compliance and ethical behaviors are integral factors considered in all performance assessments; and |
|
|
|
The Company has adopted a clawback policy.

Mr. Gideons last day with the Company was February 14, 2014. |
(1) |
The amount reported in this column for each executive officer reflects the dollar amount paid in cash of base salary in the fiscal year.
|
(2) |
Amounts in this column for all grants of restricted stock units and performance share units to all officers included in the table and for all periods reflect
the grant date fair value of awards granted under the Companys long-term incentive plans computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. Details regarding 2013 stock awards can be
found in the table Grants of Plan-Based Awards. Details regarding outstanding stock awards can be found in the table Outstanding Equity Awards At Fiscal Year End. The grant date fair value for performance share units is
reported based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions on the grant date. The value of the 2013 and 2012 performance share unit grants assuming achievement of the maximum performance levels would have been:
Mr. Simons$1,874,371 (2013); Ms. Bedient$1,239,213 (2013) and $918,720 (2012); Mr. Chandrasekaran$804,171 (2013) and $660,049 (2012); Mr. Gideon$1,307,400 (2013) and $1,005,884 (2012);
Mr. Orser$568,004 (2013) and $391,140 (2012); Mr. Fulton$5,250,874 (2013) and $3,611,950 (2012); and Mr. Burrows$1,187,610 (2013) and $855,619 (2012). Each of Mr. Fulton and Mr. Burrows
retired in October 2013. Consequently, upon application of the applicable retirement provisions under the respective performance share unit grants, the maximum value that Mr. Fulton may receive assuming achievement of maximum performance levels
would be $3,938,167 (2013) and $1,805,959 (2012). Mr. Burrows outstanding 2013 and 2012 performance share unit awards were canceled upon his retirement. |
(3) |
Amounts in this column for all grants of stock options to all officers included in the table and for all periods reflect the grant date fair value of awards
granted under the Companys long-term incentive plans computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. (See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.) Details regarding 2013 stock option awards can be found in the table Grants of Plan-Based Awards. Details regarding outstanding stock option awards can be found in the table Outstanding
Equity Awards At Fiscal Year End. |
(4) |
Amounts for Mr. Simons, Ms. Bedient, Mr. Chandrasekaran, Mr. Gideon, Mr. Fulton and Mr. Burrows represent the
value of the incentive awards earned in fiscal year 2013, 2012 and 2011 based on the Companys performance and the performance of the Companys businesses against performance levels set by the Compensation Committee of the board. The
measures are described in Compensation Discussion and AnalysisCompensation ComponentsAIPAIP Performance Measures and Plan Mechanics |

|
above. The values for Mr. Orser earned in 2013 and 2012 represent the value of cash long-term incentive awards and the value of short-term incentive awards earned in 2013 and 2012, both of
which were paid based on the performance of WRECO against performance levels set by the Compensation Committee of the board and described below in Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. The 2013 amount for Mr. Orser represents his
annual incentive payment of $341,496 under the WRECO Short-Term Incentive Plan and payments of $37,500, $25,050, and $50,100 for the 2011-2013, 2012-2014, and 2013-2015 WRECO Long-Term Incentive Plan, respectively. The payments for the
2012-2014 and 2013-2015 long-term incentive awards were paid in connection with closing out all outstanding awards under the WRECO Long-Term Incentive Plan relating to future years in contemplation of the pending transaction with TRI Pointe Homes
(as described in Compensation Discussion and AnalysisCompensation ComponentsLong-Term Incentive CompensationWRECO Cash LTIP2012 and 2013 LTIP Grants above). |
(5) |

compensation in 2013. Preferential or above market earnings is considered to be interest greater than 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate, annual long term rate in effect for January 2013. Above market earnings were: $824 for

Amount includes: (i) relocation and temporary living expenses in the amount of $54,867, which were paid by the Company in connection with
Mr. Simons relocation from Texas to Washington and were treated as compensation, and a related gross-up payment to cover taxes in the amount of $28,712; (ii) $3,620 of reimbursement for legal expenses relating to the negotiation of
Mr. Simons employment arrangement; and (iii) $180,014 paid to Mr. Simons in April 2014 as fees payable to non-employee directors, which fees were paid to directors prior to Mr. Simons being appointed as CEO-elect. Of the
$180,014 in director fees, $80,000 was in the form of a cash retainer and $100,014 was paid in RSUs (similar to compensation paid to other non-employee directors as discussed above). The $100,014 amount reflects the grant date fair value of the
3,157 director RSUs granted to Mr. Simons, which grant date fair value was computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, and is based on a grant date that is the date of the
Companys 2013 annual meeting. The number of director RSUs awarded was based on the amount of the fees to be paid to non-employee directors in RSUs divided by the average of the high and the low price of the Companys common stock on the
date of grant as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions. The average of the high and low price on April 11, 2013 was $31.68. |

NON-EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN COMPENSATION
Amounts for non-equity incentive plan compensation set out in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards are annual cash
incentives under the Companys AIP, except for amounts in 2013 and 2012 to Mr. Orser, which represent his earnings under the WRECO cash Long-Term Incentive Plan (WRECO LTIP) described below and under the WRECO Short-Term
Incentive Plan (STIP) described below.
AIP
The AIP is funded based 80% on the RONA performance (for our Wood Products and Cellulose Fibers businesses and for our chief executive officer) and FFO performance (for our Timberlands business),
and 20% based on the performance of segment businesses against the business scorecard metrics approved in advance by the Compensation Committee, such as competitive performance, financial measures and performance against strategic goals. Each of
RONA and FFO are defined in Compensation Discussion and AnalysisCompensation ComponentsDetermination of CompensationAIP Performance Measures and Plan Mechanics above. For non-embedded staff functions, including the
chief financial officer, AIP is funded based on the performance of each of the businesses (25% for each business segment). For each year a threshold, target and maximum goal is established by the Compensation Committee that represents 20%, 100% and
200% target funding levels for that portion of the funding. The threshold, target and maximum goals for 2013 were as follows:
|
|
|
for the chief executive officer, including Mr. Fulton and Mr. Simons, the Company RONA threshold for funding was set at 6%, target
funding level was 10% and maximum funding level was 17% RONA; |
|
|
|
for the Wood Products and Cellulose Fibers businesses, the RONA threshold for funding was set at 6%, target funding was set at 12% and maximum
was set at 20%; |
|
|
|
for the Timberlands business, the FFO threshold for funding was set at $363 million, target funding was set at $454 million and maximum was set
at $567 million. |
At the end of 2013, the Compensation Committee approved funding for the incentive pool based on
performance against the pre-determined RONA and FFO targets and the business scorecard metrics.
WRECO LTIP
Funding for the LTIP is based on WRECOs performance and the performance of each of its subsidiaries over a three-year period. For each of the
2011 (covering the period of 2011-2013), 2012 (covering the period of 2012-2014) and 2013 (covering the period 2013-2015) LTIP grants, performance for the president of WRECO is measured in part by PTEP (defined in Compensation Discussion and
AnalysisCompensation ComponentsDetermination of CompensationLong-Term Incentive CompensationWRECO LTIP) of WRECO (80% for 2011 and 60% for 2012 and 2013), and in part by WRECOs three-year competitive ROI ranking
versus public home builders (20% for 2011 and 40% for 2012 and 2013). For the 2013 and 2012 LTIP grants, absolute ROI during the performance period must be above 10% in order to achieve full funding under the competitive ROI ranking portion of the
award. For the 2011 LTIP grant, absolute ROI during the performance period needed to be above 14% in order to achieve full funding under the competitive ROI ranking portion of the award. Additionally, if WRECOs ROI was less than 6% during any
measurement period, the earned value per unit for the competitive ROI portion would be $0.
WRECO STIP
Funding for the STIP is based 60% on WRECOs absolute ROI, 20% on its competitive ROI ranking and 20% based on performance against a set of
business metrics. ROI is defined in Compensation Discussion and AnalysisCompensation ComponentsDetermination of CompensationLong-Term Incentive CompensationWRECO STIP. The minimum ROI threshold to fund the
absolute and relative competitive ranking components of the STIP in 2013 was 6% and target funding was set at 10% for absolute ROI. The threshold competitive ROI ranking required to fund that component of the STIP in 2013 was a median competitive
ranking. The business metrics used for 2013 funding focused on unit sales (threshold2,864; target3,183), single-family net margin (threshold$63 million; target$70 million), and cash from operations (threshold$26
million;
42
target$32 million). The resulting funding multiple from all components of the plan may not exceed 460% of target. Award amounts in excess of 300% of target are automatically deferred for a
minimum of two years.
EQUITY AWARDS
Equity awards in the summary compensation table and the grants of plan-based awards table relate to performance share units, restricted stock units and stock options granted to the named executive
officers under the Companys 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan) and the Weyerhaeuser Company 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2013 Plan). Each of the 2004 Plan and 2013 Plan provide for the award of stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and performance shares and performance share units. The 2004 Plan and 2013 Plan provide that stock options must be granted at fair market value and prohibit the
repricing of outstanding options without shareholder approval. Each of the 2004 Plan and 2013 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which has retained the exclusive authority to make awards under the plans. At the 2013 annual meeting
of shareholders in April 2013, the shareholders adopted the 2013 Plan. After adoption of the 2013 Plan, no further awards have been granted under the 2004 Plan (or any other prior equity incentive plan). The Compensation Committee approves all
long-term incentive grants to executive officers other than the CEO, whose grants are approved by the board. The committee also approves the overall grant pool and individual grants for all other participants. The primary purpose of the long-term
incentive plans, including the 2013 Plan and the 2004 Plan, is to link compensation with the long-term interests of shareholders.
2013 Performance Share Unit Awards
Performance share units granted to each of the named executive officers in 2013 are earned based on the Companys performance against cash flow targets during 2013, adjusted based on the
Companys relative total shareholder return during 2013 and 2014 (and with respect to the June 2013 grant to Mr. Simons, for a portion of 2013 and full year 2014). A target number of performance share
units were granted to the named executive officers in 2013. The initial number of performance share units actually earned was based on the Companys performance against cash flow metrics
during 2013. This number will be adjusted up or down by 20% based on the Companys two-year total shareholder return (TSR) relative to the S&P 500 during 2013 and 2014 (and with respect to the June 2013 grant to Mr. Simons,
for a portion of 2013 and full year 2014). On the second anniversary of the grant, 50% of the final number of performance share units earned will be vested and released to the participant, with an additional 25% vesting and being released on the
third anniversary of the grant date. Full vesting occurs on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. During the vesting period, unvested awards are credited with dividend equivalents, which are subject to the same vesting and release schedule as
the original performance share unit awards.
2013 Stock Options
Stock options granted to each of the named executive officers in 2013 as long-term incentive compensation are exercisable beginning 12 months after the grant date, with 25% of the shares in the
grant becoming exercisable at that time and with an additional 25% of the shares becoming exercisable on each successive anniversary of the grant date. Full vesting occurs on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. The options were granted for a
term of 10 years.
2013 Restricted Stock Unit Awards
Restricted stock units granted to each of the named executive officers in 2013 vest over four years beginning 12 months following the grant date, with 25% of the shares becoming vested and available
for release at that time, and an additional 25% vesting and becoming available for release on each successive anniversary of the grant date. Full vesting occurs on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. During the vesting period, unvested awards
are credited with dividend equivalents, which are subject to the same vesting and release schedule as the original restricted stock unit awards.

Note: Grants awarded in 2013 are also reported in the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of
Plan-Based Awards Table.
(1) |
For a better understanding of the equity awards included in this table, we have provided the grant date. |
(2) |
With the exception of the special retention options granted on February 18, 2009, all option grants vest and are exercisable beginning 12 months after the
grant date, with 25% of the options becoming exercisable at that time and with an additional 25% of the options becoming exercisable on each successive anniversary date. Full vesting occurs on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Options were
granted for a term of 10 years, and may be subject to earlier termination if the executive terminates employment for reasons other than normal retirement. With the exception of options granted on February 9, 2011 and February 8, 2012, upon
normal retirement, all unexercised options become exercisable. For options granted on February 9, 2011, February 8, 2012, and February 13, 2013 upon retirement at age 62 or older the option continues to vest until the original
expiration date. |
(3) |
Retention options granted on February 18, 2009 to Mr. Fulton, Ms. Bedient, Mr. Orser, and Mr. Gideon vest and are exercisable
beginning four years after the grant date, with 100% of the options vesting on that date. The options were granted for a term of 10 years, and may be subject to earlier termination if the executive terminates employment for reasons other than normal
retirement. If the executive terminates employment prior to vesting for any reason other than death, disability or position elimination, the unexercised options are forfeited. |
(4) |
Stock awards granted are in the form of (i) with respect to grants on February 10, 2010, February 9, 2011, February 10, 2012, and
February 13, 2013, restricted stock units that vest over four years beginning 12 months following the grant date, with 25% of the units becoming vested and available for release at that time, and an additional 25% vesting and becoming available
for release on each successive anniversary of the grant date, (ii) with respect to grants on February 9, 2011, February 10, 2012, and February 13, 2013, performance share units that vest 50% on the second anniversary of the
grant date, and an additional 25% vesting and becoming available for release on each successive anniversary of the grant date, and (iii) with respect to the grant on June 17, 2013 to Mr. Simons, made in connection with his appointment
as an executive officer, the performance period runs through December 31, 2014, with 50% of earned performance share units vested when earned and the remainder vesting 25% a year over the subsequent two-year period. Full vesting occurs on the
fourth anniversary of the grant date for each of restricted stock units and performance share units, other than with respect to the performance share unit granted to Mr. Simons on June 17, 2013 for which full vesting will occur on the
second anniversary of any performance share units being earned. For the performance share units granted on February 13, 2013 and June 17, 2013, the amounts reflect the maximum number of units because the cash flow performance during 2013
was above target (see Compensation Discussion and AnalysisCompensation ComponentsLong-Term Incentive CompensationPerformance Share Unit Awards above for further description). During the vesting period, unvested awards
earn the equivalent of dividends, which are credited as additional restricted stock units, subject to the same vesting and release schedule as the original awards. Awards not yet released and any dividends credited to them are forfeited upon
termination for any reason. |
(5) |
Values for restricted stock unit awards granted on February 10, 2010, February 9, 2011, February 8, 2012, and February 13, 2013
were computed by multiplying the market price of $31.57 for the Companys common stock at end of fiscal year 2013 by the number of units. Values for performance share unit awards granted on February 9, 2011, February 8, 2012, and
February 13, 2013 were computed by multiplying the market price of $31.57 for the Companys common stock at end of fiscal year 2013 by the number of units. |

Mr. Burrows and Mr. Fulton retired from Weyerhaeuser on October 31, 2013 and commenced benefits under the Weyerhaeuser Pension Plan. The
benefits shown here are valued as of the first of the month following retirement, November 1, 2013. They both received a portion of the benefit as a one-time lump sum payment and a portion of the benefit as annual installments payable over 7
years. They received the one-time payment and the first installment on January 2, 2014. They will both begin receiving benefits from the Supplemental Retirement Plan on May 1, 2014. |

The Weyerhaeuser Pension Plan is a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan. Title B, for
salaried employees, provides normal retirement at age 65 and early retirement may be elected by any participant who has reached age 55 and has at least 10 years of vesting service. Each of the named executive officers is eligible for early
retirement, with the exception of Mr. Simons, who joined the Company in 2013, is under age 55, and is not yet vested in benefits from the Plan. He will become vested once he has 5 years of vesting service. Title B of the Plan consists of two
separate Formulas. Service accrued prior to January 1, 2010 was earned under Formula A and service accrued on and after January 1, 2010 is earned under Formula B. The annual retirement benefit payable upon normal retirement under Formula A
is equal to (i) 1.1% of the participants average annual salary for the highest five consecutive years during the 10 calendar years before retirement, multiplied by the years of credited service accrued through December 31, 2009, plus
(ii) 0.45% of such highest average annual salary in excess of the participants Social Security Integration Level (as such term is defined in the Plan), multiplied by the number of years of credited service accrued through
December 31, 2009. The annual retirement benefit payable upon normal retirement under Formula B is equal to (i) 0.8% of the participants average annual salary for the highest five consecutive years during the 10 calendar years before
retirement, multiplied by the years of credited service accrued on and after January 1, 2010, plus (ii) 0.3% of such highest average annual salary in excess of the
participants Social Security Integration Level (as such term is defined in the Plan), multiplied by the number of years of credited service accrued on and after January 1, 2010. The
benefit payable upon early retirement under Formula A is a percentage of the benefit that would be payable upon normal retirement and ranges from 72% at age 55 to 100% at age 62. The benefit payable upon early retirement under Formula B is a
percentage of the benefit that would be payable upon normal retirement and ranges from approximately 47% at age 55 to 100% at age 65. The Plan is closed to new hires and rehires effective January 1, 2014. A participant in a defined benefit
pension plan generally is limited under the Internal Revenue Code to an annual benefit at Social Security normal retirement age of the lesser of (i) $205,000 (in 2013, but subject to adjustment) or (ii) 100% of the participants
average annual compensation during the consecutive three-year period in which he or she received the highest compensation. Further reduction of this limitation may be required for retirement prior to the Social Security normal retirement age. The
compensation used in determining benefits under this Plan is limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17) ($255,000 in 2013, but subject to adjustment). Supplemental Retirement Plan benefits are paid from the general funds of the Company
and are determined by applying the formula under the Plan Title B for salaried employees but including benefits and compensation that exceed the Internal Revenue Code limitations described above. The Supplemental Retirement Plan is
also closed to new hires and rehires effective January 1, 2014.

The amount deferred and reported in this column is included in the Summary Compensation Table as salary earned and paid in 2013. |
(2) |
Employer paid premium on amounts deferred by the executive into the common stock equivalents account in the deferral plan, which are included in All
Other Compensation in the Summary Compensation Table. |
(3) |
Fiscal 2013 earnings, which includes interest on amounts deferred into the fixed interest account of the deferral plan and appreciation or depreciation in the
price of common stock equivalent units, plus dividend equivalents for amounts deferred in the common stock equivalents account in the deferral plan. |
(4) |
Amounts deferred and reported in this column include amounts that were reported as compensation in the Companys Summary Compensation Table for previous
years, interest earned on amounts deferred into the fixed-interest account of the deferral plan, any premium for amounts deferred into the common stock equivalents account in the deferral plan, and appreciation or depreciation in the price of common
stock equivalent units, plus dividend equivalents for amounts deferred into the common stock equivalents account in the deferral plan. |
Executive officers in the United States are eligible for a deferral program. The deferral plan
provides the opportunity to defer base salary and cash incentives for payment at a future date. The executive may defer between 10% and 50% of his or her base salary and up to 100% of his or her cash bonus. The interest earned for deferred
compensation is determined each year by the Compensation Committee. The current interest rate formula is the average of the 90-day Treasury bill rate over the prior year, plus 3%.
Under the deferral plan, executive officers can choose to defer all or a portion of any cash incentives into a deferral account denominated in Weyerhaeuser common stock equivalent units with a 15%
premium applied if payment is delayed for at least five years. The amount designated to be deferred in the form of common stock equivalent units and any premium is divided by the median price per share of Company stock for the last 11 trading days
of January to determine the number of deferred stock equivalent units credited to executives account. Deferred stock units earn the equivalent of dividends, which are credited as additional deferred stock units. The value of the deferred
account grows or declines based on the performance of Weyerhaeuser stock (plus dividends). The purpose of the program is to further
align executive interests with those of shareholders by providing an incentive linked to the performance of Weyerhaeuser stock.
For deferrals in years prior to 2005, deferred amounts are paid in the year specified or upon the event specified by the executive. Beginning in 2005, amounts deferred may be paid to the executive
beginning the year after the executives separation from service, up to five years following his or her separation from service. Payments may be made in a lump sum or up to 20 equal annual payments or for a maximum of five annual payments if
the executive left the Company for reasons other than death, disability or retirement. For deferrals made prior to 2011, payments from the stock equivalents accounts are in cash, and are determined by multiplying the number of common stock
equivalent units in the executives account by the median price per share of Company stock for the last 11 trading days of January of the payment year. Beginning in 2011, payments from the stock equivalents accounts are in cash, and are
determined by multiplying the number of common stock equivalent units in the executives account by the closing price per share of Company stock on the transfer. No withdrawals or other distributions are permitted under the terms of the
deferral plan before the executives specified payment date.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
CHANGE IN CONTROL
The Company has agreements with each of its executive officers providing for specified payments and other benefits if, within the period from the
effective date of a change in control and 24 calendar months following the effective date of a change in control of the Company, the executives employment is terminated by the Company or its successor for reasons other than cause, mandatory
retirement, early retirement, disability or death. Cause is defined as a participants:
|
|
|
willful and continued failure to perform substantially the officers duties after the Company delivers to the participant written demand for
substantial performance specifically identifying the manner in which the officer has not substantially performed his or her duties; |
|
|
|
conviction of a felony; or |
|
|
|
willfully engaging in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.
|
Mandatory retirement is defined as age 65. Disability is defined in the Weyerhaeuser Pension Plan, or in any
successor to such plan.
These payments and benefits also would be paid if the executive terminates his or her employment for Good
Reason. The executive would be considered to have left for Good Reason if there has been:
|
|
|
a material reduction in the officers position, title or reporting responsibilities existing prior to the change in control;
|
|
|
|
a requirement that the officer be based in a location that is at least 50 miles farther from the Companys headquarters than the
officers primary residence was located immediately prior to the change in control; |
|
|
|
a material reduction by the Company in the officers base salary as of the effective date; |
|
|
|
a material reduction in the officers benefits unless the overall benefits provided are substantially consistent with the average level of
benefits of the other officers holding similar positions; or |
|
|
|
a material reduction in the officers level of participation in any of the Companys short- or long-term incentive compensation plans.
|
If an executive is terminated without cause or leaves for Good Reason during the period described
above following a change in control, the officer will receive:
|
|
|
an amount equal to three times the highest rate of the executives annualized base salary rate in effect prior to the change in control;
|
|
|
|
three times the officers target annual bonus established for the bonus plan year in which the executives date of termination occurs;
|
|
|
|
an amount equal to the executives unpaid base salary and accrued vacation pay through the effective date of termination;
|
|
|
|
the executives earned annual bonus prorated for the number of days in the fiscal year through the date of the officers termination;
|
|
|
|
a payment of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000) (net of required payroll and income tax withholding) to assist the executive in paying for
replacement health and welfare coverage for a reasonable period following the date of termination; and |
|
|
|
full vesting of the executives benefits under any and all supplemental retirement plans in which the executive participates, calculated
under the assumption that the officers employment continues following the officers termination date for three full years. |
In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Companys long-term incentive plans, following a change in control, outstanding stock options and restricted stock units held by executive
officers would vest and become exercisable, unearned performance share units would be deemed to have been earned at target, and earned performance share units would vest and be released only if the officer were terminated within the period beginning
as of the change in control and ending 24 months after the change in control.
SEVERANCE
Agreements with each of the Companys executive officers provide for severance benefits if the executives employment is terminated by the
Company when there is no change in control unless the termination is for cause, or is the result of the Companys mandatory retirement policy, disability or death. The severance benefit payable is an amount equal to:
|
|
|
one and one-half times the highest base salary rate paid to the executive prior to termination;
|
49
|
|
|
one and one-half times the target annual bonus established for the bonus plan year in which the termination occurs; |
|
|
|
the amount of the executives unpaid base salary and accrued vacation pay through the date of the termination; |
|
|
|
the executives earned annual bonus prorated for the number of days in the fiscal year through the date of the executives termination;
and |
|
|
|
a payment of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (net of required payroll and income tax withholding) to assist the executive in paying for
replacement health and welfare coverage for a reasonable period following the date of termination.
|
The severance benefit payable to Mr. Simons is the same as described above except that the
amount paid for base salary is two times his highest base salary rate and the amount for target bonus is two times his target annual bonus.
POTENTIAL PAYMENT AMOUNTS
The following tables describe potential payments to
the named executive officers that could be made upon termination or a change in control. All amounts assume the named executive officer terminated employment as of December 31, 2013, other than with respect to the amounts for Messrs. Fulton and
Burrows who each retired in October 2013, which reflect the actual amounts triggered by each individuals respective retirement.

Mr. Burrows retired from the Company effective October 31, 2013. |
(1) |
Severance benefits payable when there is no change in control, unless the termination is for cause, meets the requirements of the Companys mandatory
retirement policy, death, disability or voluntary termination of employment by the executive. |
(2) |
Stock option values reflect the intrinsic value of unvested options that would accelerate or continue to vest upon termination, as of December 31, 2013.
|
(3) |
Restricted stock values reflect the intrinsic value of unvested RSUs that would accelerate or continue to vest upon termination, as of December 31, 2013.
|
(4) |
Performance share unit values reflect the intrinsic value of unvested PSUs that would accelerate or continue to vest upon termination as of December 31,
2013. The value reflects performance as of December 31, 2013 for the 2013 grant and actual value earned would depend on performance for the full performance period ending December 31, 2014. |
(5) |
The amount equal to the value of any premiums on share equivalents under the Deferred Compensation Plan that would be forfeited in connection with the
officers termination. |
(6) |
The Company does not provide tax gross up payments for change in control or severance benefits. |
(7) |
This is an estimated present value of annual increase in pension payments required pursuant to the executive officers Change in Control Agreement with
the Company. The annual incremental increase assumes credit for three additional years of service applied to benefits earned under Formula B and three additional years of age applied to benefits earned under Formula A and Formula B following
termination of employment. |
53
(8) |
Lump sum payment to assist in paying for replacement health and welfare coverage for a reasonable period following the date of termination.
|
(9) |
Amounts for group supplemental executive term life insurance are two and one half times base salary, with a maximum coverage of $500,000; basic life for all
salaried employees is one times base salary, with a maximum coverage amount of $200,000. The total maximum coverage for group supplemental executive term life and basic life insurance is $700,000. |
(10) |
Outplacement services with a value of up to $20,000 are available following termination. If the services are used by the executive officer, the fees are paid
directly to the outplacement service provider. |
(11) |
The amount for Mr. Orser represents his WRECO Long-Term Incentive Plan payments of $37,500, $25,050, and $50,100 for the 2011-2013, 2012-2014, and
2013-2015 WRECO Long-Term Incentive Plan, respectively. The payments for the 2012-2014 and 2013-2015 long-term incentive awards were paid in connection with closing out all outstanding awards under the WRECO Long-Term Incentive Plan relating to
future years in contemplation of the pending transaction with TRI Pointe Homes (as described in Compensation Discussion and AnalysisCompensation ComponentsLong-Term Incentive CompensationWRECO Cash LTIP2012 and 2013
LTIP Grants above). |
(a) |
Payment of annual incentive for terminations due to early retirement, disability or death is based on performance and prorated for days of employment during
the performance period. |
(b) |
Payment of the annual incentive is calculated as two times the target annual bonus established for the bonus plan year in which the termination occurs, plus
the earned annual bonus prorated for the number of days in the fiscal year through the date of termination. |
(c) |
Payment of the annual incentive amount is calculated as one and one half times the target annual bonus established for the bonus plan year in which the
termination occurs, plus the earned annual bonus prorated for the number of days in the fiscal year through the date of termination. |
(d) |
Payment of the annual incentive is calculated as three times the target annual bonus established for the bonus plan year in which the termination occurs, plus

ITEM 2PROPOSAL TO APPROVE, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
We are asking our shareholders to indicate
their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a say-on-pay proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive
officers compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement.
Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote FOR the following resolution at the 2014 Annual Meeting:
RESOLVED, that the Companys shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive
officers, as disclosed in the Companys Proxy Statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the
2013 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.
The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not
binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our board of directors. Our board of directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive
officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our shareholders concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.
The board of directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR this proposal.
ITEM 3RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The firm of KPMG LLP, independent
registered public accounting firm, audited the financial statements and internal control over financial reporting of the Company and subsidiaries for 2013
and has been selected to do so for 2014. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting and will able to speak if they wish to do so and will be available to answer
appropriate questions.
The Company was billed for professional services provided during 2013 and 2012 by KPMG LLP in the amounts set
out in the following table. The Audit Committee of the board of directors has considered the services rendered by KPMG LLP for services other than the audit of the Companys financial statements and has determined that the provision of these
services is compatible with maintaining the firms independence.

Audit Fees, including those for statutory audits and audits of the Companys joint ventures, include the aggregate fees for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, for professional services rendered by KPMG for the audit of the Companys annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the Companys Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q.
Audit Fees include fees for the audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Fees for 2013 also include amounts relating to debt and equity offerings undertaken in connection with the acquisition of Longview Timber LLC.
|
(2) |
Fees for services rendered in support of employee benefit plan audits and, with respect to 2013, fees for services rendered in connection with the pending
divestiture of the Companys real estate business. |
(3) |
Fees for services rendered related principally to international tax services and, with respect to 2013, fees for tax services relating to tax return preparation
and related services for a subsidiary of Longview Timber LLC under a pre-existing agreement entered into prior to the transaction. |
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that it is required to approve the audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that
the provision of such services does not impair the auditors independence. All services, engagement terms, conditions and fees, as well as changes in such terms, conditions and fees must be approved by the committee in advance. The Audit
Committee will annually review and approve services that may be provided by the independent auditor during the next year and will revise the list
56
of approved services from time to time based on subsequent determinations. The committee believes that the independent auditor can provide tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax
planning and tax advice without impairing the auditors independence, but the committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the auditor. The authority to approve
services may be delegated by the committee to one or more of its members and the committee may delegate to management the authority to approve certain specified audit related services up to a limited amount of fees. If authority to approve services
has been delegated to a committee member or management, any such approval of services must be reported to the committee at its next scheduled meeting and approved by the committee (or by one or more members of the committee, if authorized). During
fiscal 2013 and 2012, 0.60% and 0.08%, respectively, of total fees paid to KPMG LLP related to non-audit services (tax and all other fees).
Selection of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company for ratification. However, the board of
directors is submitting this matter to the shareholders as a matter of good corporate governance. If the shareholders fail to vote on an advisory basis in favor of the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain KPMG LLP, and
may retain that firm or another without re-submitting the matter to the Companys shareholders. Even if shareholders vote on an advisory basis in favor of the appointment, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of
different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders.
The board of directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR the ratification of the
appointment of KPMG LLP as Weyerhaeusers independent registered public accounting firm for 2014.
REVIEW, APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
POLICY
The board of directors recognizes that related party transactions can present a heightened risk of potential or actual conflicts of interest and may
create the appearance that Company decisions are based on considerations other than the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. As a result, the board prefers to avoid related party transactions. However, the board recognizes that there
are situations where related party transactions may be in, or may not be inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. For example, this would be true if the Company would be able to obtain products or services of a
nature, quality or quantity on terms that are not readily available from other sources, or when the Company provides products or services to related persons on an arms-length basis and on the same kind of terms provided to unrelated third
parties. As a result, the board has delegated to the Audit Committee the responsibility to review related party transactions. The committee has the authority to approve a related party transaction if the committee determines that the transaction is
on terms that are not inconsistent with the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The board has defined related party transactions as any arrangement or relationship with the Company when the amount of the
transaction or the amount of combined similar transactions is greater than $120,000 and when a related person has a direct or indirect material interest. A related person is anyone who is:
|
|
|
a director or executive officer of the Company; |
|
|
|
a shareholder who beneficially owns more than 5% of the Companys stock; |
|
|
|
an immediate family member of any of the Companys directors or executive officers; or |
|
|
|
a company or charitable organization or entity in which any of these persons has a role similar to that of an officer or general partner or
beneficially owns 10% or more of the entity. |
57
APPROVAL AND CONTINUING REVIEW
A director or executive officer who is a related person or has a family member who is a related person must inform the Companys Corporate Secretary about any proposed related party transaction
and give the Corporate Secretary all the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction. If the Corporate Secretary investigates and determines the transaction would be a related party transaction, the transaction is brought to the Audit
Committee for review.
The committee reviews all the facts and circumstances of each related party transaction, including the potential
effect on a directors independence if the Company enters into a transaction where a director has an interest. The committee approves the transaction only if it decides that the transaction is not inconsistent with the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders.
If a member of the Audit Committee is a related person in connection with a proposed related party
transaction, the transaction is reviewed only by the disinterested members of the committee. If multiple members of the committee, including the chair of the committee, are relevant related persons, the disinterested members of the board of
directors review the transaction rather than the committee.
If the Company or any related person becomes aware of a related party
transaction that has not been previously approved or ratified under the Companys related party transaction policies and procedures, it should promptly submit the transaction to the Audit Committee for consideration. The committee evaluates the
transaction using the same process and standards it would use to approve a transaction before it is entered into. The committee decides whether to ratify the transaction or require an amendment of the terms of the transaction or to terminate the
transaction.
At its first meeting each year, the committee also reviews any ongoing related party transaction in which the amount of
the transaction is still greater than $120,000. The committee decides if the transaction is still in the best interests of the Company or if the transaction should be modified or terminated.
The chair of the Audit Committee has the authority to approve transactions on behalf of the committee
in between committee meetings if it is not practical to wait until the next committee meeting for a review. Any related party transaction approved by the chair of the committee between meetings must be reported to the committee at the next meeting.
Material related party transactions that are approved by the committee must be reported to the board of directors at the next meeting of the board.
AUDIT
COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit
Committee is comprised of independent directors as defined by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and acts under a written charter. The current charter for the committee can be found on the Companys website at www.weyerhaeuser.com
under Company at the top of the page, Investors, and then under the Governance link. If you would like a paper copy, you may request one by writing Weyerhaeuser Company, Attention: Corporate Secretary, P.O.
Box 9777, Federal Way, WA 98063-9777 or by sending an email to CorporateSecretary@Weyerhaeuser.com.
Management is responsible
for the Companys internal controls and the financial reporting process. KPMG LLP is the Companys independent registered public accounting firm and is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Companys consolidated
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and for issuing audit reports on the consolidated financial statements and the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The
committees responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes on behalf of the board of directors.
In this context, the
committee has discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as amended. In addition, the committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the
independent auditors required by Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committee Concerning Independence, and has reviewed, evaluated and discussed with that firm the written report and its independence from the Company.
58
The committee discussed with the Companys internal and independent auditors the overall scope
and plans for their respective audits. The committee meets with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, the evaluations of the Companys internal controls and the
overall quality of the Companys financial reporting. The committee also has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Based on the reviews and discussions described above, the committee recommended to the board
of directors that the audited financial statements and assessment of internal control over financial reporting be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The committee has selected
KPMG LLP as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for 2014.

PROXY SOLICITATION EXPENSES
All expenses of soliciting proxies,
including clerical work, printing and postage, will be paid by the Company. Proxies may be solicited personally, or by telephone, mail, email, or the Internet, by employees or directors of the Company, but the Company will not pay any compensation
for such solicitations. The Company expects to pay fees of approximately $15,000 for assistance by Innisfree M&A Incorporated in the solicitation of proxies. In addition, the Company will reimburse brokers, banks and other persons holding shares
in their names or in the names of nominees for their expenses for sending material to principals and obtaining their proxies.
SHAREHOLDER
RIGHTS PLAN POLICY
In 2004,
the board of directors adopted a shareholder rights plan policy. The policy provides that the board must obtain shareholder approval prior to adopting any shareholder rights plan. However, the board may act on its own to adopt a shareholder rights
plan if a majority of the independent directors, exercising their fiduciary duties under Washington law, determine that
such submission to shareholders would not be in the best interests of shareholders under the circumstances.
CONFIDENTIAL
VOTING POLICY
In 1991, the
board of directors adopted a confidential voting policy to protect our shareholders voting privacy. The policy provides that ballots, proxy forms and voting instructions returned to banks, brokerage firms and other holders of record must be
kept confidential. Only the proxy solicitor, the proxy tabulator and the inspector of election have access to the ballots, proxy forms and voting instructions. The proxy solicitor and the proxy tabulator will disclose information taken from the
ballots, proxy forms, and voting instructions only if:
|
|
|
disclosure is required by applicable law, |
|
|
|
a shareholder authorizes disclosure or |
|
|
|
to resolve legal claims or disputes regarding ballots, proxy forms or votes, or the accuracy of any vote tabulation.
|
In the event the Company receives notice of a proxy contest, the Company will request that the proponent and all
agents and other persons engaged by the proponent agree to this voting policy. The Company will not be bound to comply with this policy during a proxy contest if the proponent is not willing to be bound by the policy as well.
OTHER BUSINESS
The board of directors knows of no other matters to be presented at the meeting. If any other matters come before the meeting, the proxy holders
intend to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
FUTURE
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS
Shareholders who wish to present proposals in accordance with the SEC Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in the Companys proxy materials to be distributed in connection with next years annual
meeting proxy statement must submit their proposals so they are received by the Corporate Secretary at the Companys executive offices no later than the close of business
59
on November 7, 2014. To be in proper form, a shareholder proposal must meet all applicable requirements of SEC Rule 14a-8. Simply submitting a proposal does not guarantee that it will be
included.
The Companys Bylaws provide that a shareholder may bring business before our annual meeting if it is appropriate for
consideration at an annual meeting and is presented properly for consideration. If a shareholder wishes to bring business at a meeting for consideration under the Bylaws rather than under the SEC rules, the shareholder must give the Corporate
Secretary written notice of the shareholders intent to do so. The notice must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary no later than 90 days and no earlier than 120 days before the meeting date. However, if the Company sends notice or discloses
the date of the meeting fewer than 100 days before the date of the meeting, the shareholder must deliver the notice to the Corporate Secretary no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which the notice of meeting date
was mailed or publicly disclosed, whichever occurs first. To be in proper form, the notice must include specific information as described in our Bylaws.
The Companys Bylaws also establish procedures for shareholder nominations for elections of directors of the Company. Any shareholder entitled to vote in the election of directors may nominate
one or more persons for election as directors. The nomination will be effective only if the shareholder delivers written notice of the shareholders intent to make a nomination to the Corporate Secretary no later than 90 days or earlier than
120 days prior to the meeting. However, if the Company sends notice or discloses the date of the meeting fewer than 100 days before the date of the meeting, the shareholder must deliver the notice to the Corporate Secretary no later than the close
of
business on the tenth day following the day on which the notice of meeting date was mailed or publicly disclosed, whichever occurs first.
To be in proper form, a shareholders notice must include specific information concerning the proposal or the nominee as described in our Bylaws and in SEC rules. In addition, to be eligible to
be a nominee, the person must be able to make certain agreements with the Company as described in our Bylaws. A shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal or a nomination is encouraged to consult independent counsel about our Bylaws and SEC
requirements. The Company reserves the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with the Bylaws, SEC and other applicable requirements for submitting a proposal or
nomination.
Notices of intention to present proposals at an annual meeting should be addressed to Devin W. Stockfish, Corporate
Secretary, Weyerhaeuser Company, P.O. Box 9777, Federal Way, WA 98063-9777.
Public
disclosure of the date of the 2014 annual meeting was made in the Notice of 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement. The date of the next annual meeting of shareholders of Weyerhaeuser Company after the 2014 annual meeting is
