INTRODUCTION
This Rule13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule13E-3 is filed by Pendrell Corporation, a Washington corporation (the “Company”) on December 13, 2017 to amend the prior Schedule13E-3 filed on November 1, 2017 (the “Schedule13E-3”), which described a1-for-100 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
On November 30, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors (our “Board”) approved the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split. The Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, pursuant to which the Company effected the Reverse Stock Split, effective as of 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on November 30, 2017 (the “Effective Time”).
The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from approximately 24.4 million shares to approximately 240,000 shares. The CUSIP number for the Company’s Class A common stock was changed to 70686R500 and the CUSIP number for the Company’s Class B common stock was changed to 70686R609. The change to the CUSIP number and the impact of the Reverse Stock Split was evidenced on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange on December 5, 2017. Shareholders who hold shares fractionalized by the Reverse Stock Split (those shareholders with a share count not evenly divisible by 100) did not receive fractional shares. Instead, the fractionalized shares were cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to $6.73 per fractionalized share.
The Company’s transfer agent, Computershare, will act as exchange agent to implement the exchange of stock certificates or book entry shares, and payment for fractional shares. Beginning at the Effective Time, each certificate representing shares of the Company’s common stock before the Reverse Stock Split will automatically be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership ofone-one-hundredth (1/100) of the shares evidenced by such certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time, rounded down to the nearest whole share. All shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, and the exercise price per share, will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, outstanding restricted stock units will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 6 to Schedule13E-3 have the meanings ascribed to such terms in theSchedule 13E-3. Information contained in (i) the Company’s amended definitive proxy statement filed on Schedule 14A filed on May 22, 2017, (ii) the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was filed by the Company on March 15, 2017, and (iii) the Company’s quarterly reports on Form10-Q filed by the Company on April 28, 2017, July 28, 2017 and October 25, 2017 is incorporated into thisSchedule 13E-3 by reference.
