On May 28, 2019, Reporting Person James H. Dahl sent a letter to Maria M. Pope, a director of the Issuer, (i) announcing his strong support for an unsolicited proposal by a highly reputable public timber REIT to acquire the Issuer in a tax efficient transaction that would value the Units at more than $100 per Unit, (ii) publicly imploring the Board of Directors and the General Partners of Pope to immediately engage with any and all interested acquirers and (iii) encouraging other Unit holders to express their views to the Board of Directors and General Partners of the Issuer. The full text of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

As stated in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Units, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investments in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, continuing to engage in communications with management and the Board of Directors and General Partners of the Issuer, engaging in discussions, understandings or agreements with Unit holders of the Issuer or other third parties about the Issuer and the investment of the Reporting Persons or the voting of Units, purchasing additional Units, selling some or all of their respective Units, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to Units, including swaps and other derivative instruments, or changing their respective intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
