DEAL SUMMARY

Matariki Forests sale is receiving international interest in light of global economic crisis

Rayonier New Zealand, manager of the forests, says there have been 12 serious bidders

No reserve set, however, Carter Holt Harvey made similar sale to Hancock Timber Resource Group in 2006 for NZ$1.6bn (about NZ$9000 per hectare), making Matariki possibly worth up to NZ$1.26bn

Majority of bidders from North America, European Union and sovereign funds in the Middle East

Tender process expected to close before Christmas this year, with final sale expected in first quarter of 2009
