Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities
On November 3, 2020, Altaba Inc., a Delaware corporation, published its unaudited consolidated statement of assets and liabilities for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The unaudited consolidated statement of assets and liabilities is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information disclosed under this Item 2.02 is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made under the Securities Act of 1933, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Distribution Update
As previously disclosed, on Friday, October 23, 2020, after the close of business, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Altaba Inc., a Delaware corporation (Altaba or the Fund) approved a liquidating distribution of $8.33 per share of the Funds common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or $4,327,529,678.78 in the aggregate (the Liquidating Distribution), which was paid on November 2, 2020 to stockholders of record as of the October 4, 2019 date of dissolution of the Fund (or, as applicable, their permitted transferees by bequest, intestacy or operation of law).
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 and dissolved on October 4, 2019.
On May 28, 2020, as part of the Funds 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. On August 20, 2020, the Fund filed with the Chancery Court a Motion for an Interim Order Approving Interim Holdbacks and Permitting Certain Distributions to Stockholders (the Interim Order) to receive authorization to make a cash distribution of all of the Funds assets in excess of the aggregate security amount required to be retained by the Fund pending adjudication of the amount of security reasonably likely to provide sufficient compensation for any claims that remain in dispute. The Chancery Court entered the Interim Order with some modifications on October 19, 2020. On October 23, 2020, the Board declared the Liquidating Distribution, which represents a distribution of substantially all of the Funds assets in excess of the aggregate security amount required to be retained by the Fund pending adjudication of any remaining disputed claims.
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.
