NII Holdings Files For Dissolution

RESTON, Va., Jan. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NII Holdings, Inc. ("NII") today announced that it filed a certificate of dissolution (the "Certificate of Dissolution") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, as contemplated by the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the "Plan") previously approved by NII's Board of Directors and stockholders. The Certificate of Dissolution, which became effective at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 13, 2020 (the "Effective Time"), provides for the dissolution of NII under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"). NII intends to follow the Safe Harbor Procedures as permitted under the DGCL.

In connection with the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution, effective as of the Effective Time, NII closed its stock transfer books and discontinued recording transfers of its common stock, par value $0.001 (the "Common Stock"). As a result, holders of the Common Stock are no longer able to transfer record or beneficial ownership of the Common Stock, other than transfers by will, intestate succession or operation of law.

Holders of the Common Stock will retain the right to receive distributions pursuant to and in accordance with NII's Plan and the DGCL. NII intends to seek to distribute funds to its stockholders in one or more distributions, as permitted by the DGCL, and will take all reasonable actions to optimize the distributable value to its stockholders.

As previously announced, NII notified the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") on December 18, 2019 of its intention to delist the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market. NII filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq on December 30, 2019, and the Common Stock was delisted from trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 9, 2020.
