WeissLaw is investigating whether (i) POPE's board of directors (the "Board") acted independently given POPE's long history with RYN and numerous entanglements at the Board and executive level, (ii) the Board's special litigation committee ("Special Committee") was truly independent, ran a fair process, maximized unitholder value and otherwise acted in the best interests of POPE unitholders, (iii) the proposed acquisition undervalues POPE, and (iv) all material information related to the proposed acquisition is fully and fairly disclosed to permit a fully-informed unitholder vote.
