NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Altaba Inc. ("Altaba" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:AABA) announced today
the final results of its modified "Dutch auction" self tender offer to
purchase up to $3.0 billion of shares of its common stock, which expired
at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2017.
Based on the final count by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the
depositary for the tender offer, a total of 64,514,767 shares of the
Company's common stock were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn
at or below the final purchase price of $53.20 per share.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer, the
Company accepted for payment, at a purchase price of $53.20, all of the
64,514,767 shares properly tendered at or below the purchase price and
not properly withdrawn before the expiration date, at an aggregate cost
of approximately $3.4 billion, excluding fees and expenses relating to
the tender offer. These shares represent approximately 6.7% of the
Company's issued and outstanding shares as of June 20, 2017. The shares
accepted for purchase include 56,390,977 shares for an aggregate
purchase price of up to $3.0 billion and an additional 8,123,790 shares
that the Company has elected to purchase pursuant to its right to
purchase up to an additional 2% of the Company's issued and outstanding
shares without extending the tender offer.
The Company determined the final purchase price of $53.20 by multiplying
the previously announced "Alibaba VWAP" of $137.1017 by 0.388, which was
the lowest multiple within the Company's specified range at which shares
were tendered or were deemed to have been tendered in the tender offer
that, when multiplied by the "Alibaba VWAP", would enable the Company to
purchase the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock
properly tendered and not properly withdrawn having an aggregate
purchase price not exceeding $3,000,000,000. The Company has purchased
an additional 0.85% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares that
were tendered at the final purchase price, pursuant to its right to
accept for payment an additional 2% of the Company's issued and
outstanding shares without extending the tender offer.
The depositary will promptly pay for the shares accepted for purchase.
After giving effect to the purchase of the shares, the Company will have
outstanding approximately 894,803,145 shares of common stock.
