ContextLogic Inc. (d/b/a Wish) (NASDAQ: WISH) (“ContextLogic” or
the “Company”) today reminded stockholders to vote at the upcoming
special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) on Friday,
April 12, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The
ContextLogic Board of Directors (the “Board”) recommends that
stockholders vote “FOR” the proposed Asset Sale transaction with
Qoo10 Pte. Ltd. (“Qoo10”).
Upon closing of the transaction, ContextLogic will continue as a
publicly traded company with ~$2.7 billion of net operating
loss (“NOL”) carryforwards.
If the Company’s stockholders approve the transaction at the
Special Meeting on Friday, then the Asset Sale would be scheduled
to close on April 16th. In that case, the Company estimates
that its post-closing cash (cash on hand and marketable securities,
plus the cash proceeds from the Asset Sale) would range from
$150-157 million.
However, the estimate is based on an April 16th closing. As
described in the Company’s proxy materials for the Special Meeting,
the cash consideration to be paid to the Company is subject to a
purchase price adjustment based on the Company’s cash balance at
closing. Because of the Company’s negative cash flow described in
the proxy materials for the Special Meeting, every day that
stockholder approval is delayed will very likely result in lower
post-closing cash. The decrease could be material.
Therefore, with the Special Meeting fast approaching, it is
extremely important that stockholders vote as soon as possible, no
matter how many shares they own. Leading proxy advisory firms
Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), Glass Lewis and
Egan-Jones have all recommended that ContextLogic stockholders vote
“FOR” the proposed Asset Sale.
The newly reconstituted Board and leadership will evaluate
opportunities to maximize the value of the Company’s NOLs on behalf
of stockholders and explore the opportunity for a financial sponsor
to help realize the value of its tax assets. Maximizing the
Company’s post-closing cash will best position the Company’s
post-closing Board and leadership to pursue transactions that will
utilize those tax assets for the benefit of ContextLogic
stockholders.
To ensure your shares are represented at the Special Meeting,
ContextLogic stockholders are urged to vote online or by telephone
by following the easy instructions on the previously provided proxy
card. Electronic voting deadline is 11:59 p.m. Eastern
Time on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
The Company expects to complete the transaction in the second
quarter of 2024, subject to the approval of ContextLogic’s
stockholders and other customary closing conditions.
