Altaba Announces Liquidating Distribution of $0.36 Per Share

NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Altaba Inc. ("Altaba" or the "Fund") announced that on November 2, 2026 the Board approved a liquidating distribution of $0.36 per share of the Fund's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or $187,024,091 in the aggregate (the "Liquidating Distribution"), which will be payable on November 13, 2026.

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, the Fund commenced court-supervised wind-up proceedings pursuant to Sections 280 and 281(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") before the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the "Chancery Court"), pursuant to which the Chancery Court adjudicated under Section 280 of the DGCL the holdback amounts required to be retained by the Fund in respect of all known, unknown and contingent claims against the Fund other than those involving the United States Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") (the "Chancery Action").

On June 18, 2020, the United States Department of Justice (the "DOJ"), on behalf of the IRS, filed a Notice of Removal in the Chancery Court removing claims of the IRS in the Chancery Action to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the "District of Delaware"). The Fund, together with the DOJ, filed with the District of Delaware a Joint Motion Regarding Claims Raised by Claimant the Internal Revenue Service, following which the District of Delaware entered an order on October 26, 2020 (the "Order") establishing a separate account in the Fund's name with the purpose of holding an agreed upon amount as security for the claims asserted by the IRS (the "Agreed Security Amount"). During the second quarter of 2025, first quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2026, the IRS approved a reduction to the Agreed Security Amount for a total of approximately $167 million that allowed the Fund to make a distribution of such amount.

The Board also determined to authorize certain additional funds for distribution including, among others, interest payments received by the Fund associated with city taxes paid by the Fund, federal interest refunds received by the Fund, and excess interest earned on the Company's investment portfolio, which in the aggregate, totaled approximately $44 million. In determining the aggregate amount to be distributed in the Liquidating Distribution, the Board also took into consideration various tax matters affecting the Fund to determine the amount of funds to authorize for distribution.

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.
