Nasdaq to Halt Trading in Altaba Shares on October 2, 2019
30 Septiembre 2019 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Altaba Inc. (“Altaba” or the “Fund”) (NASDAQ: AABA) today
announced that The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) has advised
the Fund that it intends to halt trading in the Fund’s shares of
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), on the
NASDAQ Global Select Market following the close of regular trading
at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on October 2, 2019, in anticipation of
the Fund’s filing of a certificate of dissolution with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 4, 2019.
Nasdaq has further advised the Fund that it intends to maintain the
halt in trading in the Shares until confirmation of the filing of
the certificate of dissolution, and that upon confirmation, Nasdaq
intends to indefinitely suspend trading in the Shares prior to the
opening of trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 7,
2019.
The Fund previously announced that it plans to file the
certificate of dissolution immediately following the close of
regular trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 4,
2019, and that, upon the filing of the certificate of dissolution,
the Fund will close its stock transfer books, after which record
holders of the Fund’s Shares will be prohibited from transferring
record ownership of their Shares, except by will, intestate
succession or operation of law. 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.
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”).
