Altaba Announces Liquidating Distribution of $0.96 Per Share (2/09/23)

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altaba Inc. (“Altaba” or the “Fund”) today announced that the Board approved a liquidating distribution of $0.96 per share of the Fund’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or $498,730,911 in the aggregate (the “Liquidating Distribution”), which will be payable on February 17, 2023.

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 January 20, 2023, Altaba and Emily Larocque filed, and the Chancery Court granted, a stipulated order setting the final holdback for the putative class action claim asserted by Emily Larocque in Saskatchewan, Canada, arising from the security incidents that took place between 2013 and 2016, which involved stolen Yahoo! user account information and forged cookies (the “Larocque Action”), and authorizing the Fund to make one or more distributions totaling in the aggregate amount of $492,500,000, reflecting the difference between the Fund’s current holdback for the Larocque Action and the stipulated holdback.

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.
