ContextLogic Reminds Stockholders to Vote FOR the Value-Maximizing Transaction with Qoo10 Today
03 April 2024 - 2:30PM
ContextLogic Inc. (d/b/a Wish) (NASDAQ: WISH) (“ContextLogic” or
the “Company”) today issued a reminder to stockholders to vote
“FOR” the proposed Asset Sale transaction with Qoo10 Pte. Ltd.
(“Qoo10”) in connection with the upcoming special meeting of
stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) on April 12, 2024, at 10:00
a.m. Pacific Time.
The ContextLogic Board of Directors reiterates its belief that
the proposed transaction will reduce substantially all of the cash
burn, monetize operating assets at the highest value available and
preserve significant value for stockholders. To date, numerous
independent parties have supported this value-maximizing
transaction:
- “This asset sale preserves cash for the benefit of all
stockholders. Importantly, this asset sale also preserves $2.7
billion in net operating losses (“NOLs”). These NOLs are very
valuable, and this transaction ensures that NOLs will survive for
the benefit of all stockholders.” – Rescue WISH and Cannell Capital
LLC in its March 19, 2024 press release
- “The proposed transaction appears to be the best available
alternative, including a liquidation, a business combination, or
remaining a standalone company, to maximize value for
stockholders…a vote FOR this transaction is warranted.” –
Institutional Shareholder Services in its March 27, 2024
recommendation
- “After careful consideration, we believe that approval of the
transaction is in the best interests of ContextLogic
stockholders…we recommend a vote FOR the transaction.” – Egan-Jones
in its March 27, 2024 recommendation
- “…we believe the Asset Sale likely represents the highest
available value for the Company at this time…we recommend that
stockholders vote FOR this proposal.” – Glass Lewis in its March
28, 2024 recommendation
