NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altaba Inc. (“Altaba” or the “Fund”) today announced that on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, after the close of business, the Board approved a liquidating distribution of $1.43 per share of the Fund’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or $742,901,253 in the aggregate (the “Liquidating Distribution”), which will be payable on July 29, 2022.
As previously announced, at a special meeting of stockholders held on June 27, 2019, stockholders of the Fund approved a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan”), pursuant to which, the Fund filed a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to dissolve the Fund on October 4, 2019.
On May 28, 2020, as part of the Fund’s court-supervised wind-up proceedings pursuant to Sections 280 and 281(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) pending before the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”), the Fund filed a verified petition for determinations pursuant to Section 280 of the DGCL (the “Chancery Action”).
On June 23, 2022, the Company filed with the Chancery Court a Stipulation and Proposed Order Regarding Final Monetary Holdback and Security for Claim of Droplets, Inc. (the “Requested Droplets Holdback Order”) that requested entry of an order authorizing the Company to make a cash distribution to stockholders in the amount of $360,391,527, which is the amount by which the revised monetary holdback amounts for the claims asserted by Droplets, Inc. (“Droplets”), as agreed by Droplets, exceeds the total required to be reserved for such claims in the Chancery Court’s May 17, 2022 grant of Altaba’s Unopposed Motion for Certain Distributions to Stockholders. On June 23, 2022, the Chancery Court entered the Requested Droplets Holdback Order.
On June 27, 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Ninth Circuit”) released an order affirming the settlement for the federal consumer class action brought in the United States District Court for the Northern District Court of California (the “U.S. Class Action”). In connection with the U.S. Class Action, the Company maintained a reserve of $341,250,000 (the “U.S. Class Action Holdback”). On July 19, 2022, the Ninth Circuit issued a mandate to close the U.S. Class Action and the U.S. Class Action Holdback was no longer required to be maintained.
In addition, there were certain other amounts made available for distribution upon the resolution of certain contingencies. In determining the aggregate amount to be distributed in the Liquidating Distribution, the Board also took into consideration proposed legislation changes and other contingencies affecting the Fund to determine the amount of funds to authorize for distribution.
The Liquidating Distribution represents a partial distribution of the remaining assets of the Fund. Further information regarding the amount and timing of any subsequent liquidating distributions to stockholders will be provided in subsequent press releases or filings with the SEC as such information becomes available.
