Altaba Sets Date for Filing Certificate of Dissolution (9/23/19)

Altaba Inc. (“Altaba” or the “Fund”) (NASDAQ: AABA) today announced that, in furtherance of the liquidation and dissolution of the Fund pursuant to its Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan”), the Fund intends to file a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware immediately following the close of regular trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on October 4, 2019.

Upon the filing of the certificate of dissolution, the Fund will close its stock transfer books, after which record holders of the Fund’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), will be prohibited from transferring record ownership of their Shares, except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. In addition, the Fund expects that trading in the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market will be halted promptly following the filing of the certificate of dissolution and indefinitely suspended prior to the opening of trading on October 7, 2019, and that the Shares will thereafter be delisted. As previously disclosed, the Fund will request that, following the filing of the certificate of dissolution and the closing of the Fund’s stock transfer books, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) maintain records representing the right to receive any post-dissolution liquidating distributions, including transfers of such rights. Consequently, the Fund expects that transfers of such rights will be tracked by DTC. To the extent that a stockholder’s Shares are not held by a DTC participant as of the filing of the certificate of dissolution and the closing of the Fund’s stock transfer books, it could be more difficult for such stockholder to transfer such stockholder’s rights to receive any post-dissolution liquidating distributions.

The Fund expects that any purchases or sales of the Fund’s Shares that are not settled prior to the filing of the certificate of dissolution and the closing of the Fund’s stock transfer books will not be settled. The Fund urges stockholders to consult their brokers to ensure that any trades are executed in sufficient time to settle prior to the closing of the Fund’s stock transfer books. Further, Computershare, the Fund’s transfer agent, will fully suspend Direct Registration System sales and the Direct Stock Purchase Plan that it currently administers with respect to the Fund’s Shares. Consequently, stockholders who hold their Shares directly on the books of the Fund’s transfer agent and wish to sell Shares prior to the closing of the Fund’s stock transfer books will not be able to do so after September 25, 2019 other than through an account with a bank, broker or other participant in DTC.

As previously announced, stockholders of the Fund approved the liquidation and dissolution of the Fund pursuant to the Plan at a special meeting of stockholders held on June 27, 2019. Additional information regarding the Plan and the liquidation and dissolution process can be found in the proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 17, 2019 (as supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”).
