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”).
