May 08, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Interfor Corporation announces that shareholders have approved proposals to change the Company's name to Interfor Corporation from International Forest Products Limited, and to simplify the Company's share structure. 

The new name is a direct link to the Company's traditional trade name, and is consistent with the formal names of its US subsidiaries, which now account for more than 50% of Interfor's total production.

The process to simplify the share structure, which began last August, involves eliminating the Company's Class B Common Shares, known as Multiple Voting Shares, and redesignating Class A Subordinate Voting Shares as Common Shares.

Interfor is a growth-oriented lumber company with operations in Canada and the United States. The Company has annual production capacity of 2.6 billion board feet.
