Item 3.02. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

On March 3, 2009, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with three purchasers specified therein (the "Initial Purchasers"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Initial Purchasers agreed to purchase, 375,000 units (the "Units"), each consisting of $1,000 principal amount at maturity of 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the "Notes") and one warrant nominally exercisable to purchase 49.0559 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Warrants"). The sale is scheduled to be completed on March 10, 2009, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The purchase price for the Units will be allocated between the Notes and the Warrants following the completion of the sale.

The offer and sale of the Units and the Warrants (which are nominally exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 18,395,963 shares of common stock of the Company) will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Initial Purchasers intend to resell the Units to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act at a price per Unit of $750, or an aggregate of $281,250,000. The Company estimates that it will receive net proceeds from the sale of the Units (after deducting discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers and payment of related transaction expenses) of approximately $264,300,000.

The Notes and Warrants will become separately transferable upon dissolution of the Units at the earlier of (x) 180 days after the issue date of the Units and
(y) such date as a specified Initial Purchasers shall determine at it sole discretion (the "Separation Date"). The Warrants will be exercisable at any time on or after the Separation Date and prior to March 15, 2017 at an exercise price of $1.39 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances and to mandatory cashless exercise provisions.

The Initial Purchasers and certain of their affiliates have provided and may in the future provide financial advisory, investment banking and commercial banking services in the ordinary course of business to the Company, for which they receive customary fees and expense reimbursement.
