  announced the pricing of its offering to eligible purchasers of $250 million principal
  amount of additional 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019 at 100.25% plus accrued

  apply the net proceeds to reduce borrowings under its bank credit
  facilities.  A copy of the press release

  the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.  The notes may be resold by the initial
  purchasers pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities
  Act.  The information contained in this
  Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit, is neither an offer to
  sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the notes
  offering or any other securities of Forest.
