Sio Gene Therapi...$0.435 liquidating distribution.<br /><br />Sio Gene Therapies expects to file a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, as contemplated by the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution previously approved by Sio’s Board of Directors and stockholders, on February 7, 2024. The Certificate of Dissolution, which is expected to become effective at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 7, 2024, provides for the dissolution of Sio under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In connection with the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution, effective as of the Effective Time, Sio will close its stock transfer books and discontinue recording transfers of its common stock, par value $0.00001. As a result, upon the Effective Time, holders of the Common Stock will no longer able to transfer record or beneficial ownership of the Common Stock, other than transfers by will, intestate succession or operation of law. Any future distributions made by Sio will be made solely to the stockholders of record as of the Effective Time, except as may be necessary to reflect subsequent transfers recorded on Sio’s transfer books as a result of any transfers by will, intestate succession or operation of law. Holders of the Common Stock as of the Effective Time will retain the right to receive distributions pursuant to and in accordance with Sio’s Plan and the DGCL. In that regard, Sio’s Board of Directors has declared an initial cash liquidating distribution of $32,511,587, or $0.435 per share of Common Stock, to be paid on or about February 8, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the Effective Time. Under the DGCL, Sio has up to three years to finalize the dissolution process. Sio plans to retain approximately $7,200,000 to cover dissolution-related operating expenses and any unknown contingent liabilities over this time. Sio currently expects to pay remaining cash to stockholders in one or more subsequent liquidating distributions, subject to uncertainties inherent in winding up its business. Sio cannot provide any assurances with respect to the amounts of any such subsequent liquidating distributions or the timing thereof.<br /><br /><br /><br />MDChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679835609782815537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080506270244832638.post-78874514482749666362023-12-01T09:58:29.737-06:002023-12-01T09:58:29.737-06:00Thanks again for the update, let's hope the ne...Thanks again for the update, let's hope the next update/sub liquidation is quick.MDChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679835609782815537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080506270244832638.post-49901835445173720852023-12-01T09:33:54.584-06:002023-12-01T09:33:54.584-06:00Now he says 2 subs have been liquidated.

From the recent PR:<br /><br />The Plan of Dissolution contemplates an orderly wind down of the Company's business and operations. If the Company's shareholders approve the Plan of Dissolution, the Company intends to file a certificate of dissolution, delist its shares of common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market, satisfy or resolve its remaining liabilities and obligations, including but not limited to contingent liabilities and claims and costs associated with the dissolution and liquidation, make reasonable provisions for unknown claims and liabilities, attempt to convert all of its remaining assets into cash or cash equivalents, and make distributions to its shareholders of remaining cash available for distribution based upon their proportionate ownership at the time of the filing of the certificate of dissolution, subject to applicable legal requirements. Upon the filing of the certificate of dissolution, the Company intends to cease trading in its common stock, close its stock transfer books and discontinue recording transfers of shares of its capital stock, in accordance with applicable law.<br /><br />I own a few of these, they just go non-traded, you still have an entry in your brokerage account but you can't do anything with it. One day you'll receive the cash. It takes a certain mindset to own these, it is a bit unnerving the first time or two, especially if you own them in size, because you generally get little to no updates during the non-traded liquidation process.MDChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679835609782815537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080506270244832638.post-14605912534600986832022-12-21T10:13:27.840-06:002022-12-21T10:13:27.840-06:00do you expect it to trade on OTC post delisting? ...do you expect it to trade on OTC post delisting? how do shareholders normally get paid after delisting?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
