EXPLANATORY NOTE

West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd., a company amalgamated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (“West Fraser”), originally filed this Report on Form 6-K dated February 1, 2021 (the “Original Form 6-K”) pursuant to Rule 12g-3(f) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(d) under the Exchange Act, West Fraser is a “successor issuer” to Norbord Inc. (“Norbord”) which has historically filed periodic reports under the Exchange Act with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (SEC File No. 001-37694). As Norbord’s common shares (the “Norbord Shares”) were registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, West Fraser’s common shares (the “West Fraser Shares”) are now deemed registered under that section of the Exchange Act.

The Original Form 6-K was inadvertently filed on the EDGAR profile of Norbord and should have instead been filed on the EDGAR profile of West Fraser. The Original Form 6-K has now been filed on West Fraser’s EDGAR Profile. In accordance with the administrative policies of the SEC, the Original Form 6-K continues to bear Norbord’s SEC file number. The Amendment No. 1 to Form 6-K is intended to withdraw the Original Form 6-K from the EDGAR profile of Norbord and remove the information filed with the Original Form 6-K from the EDGAR profile of Norbord.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
