INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 1 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this First Amendment) is filed by Pendrell Corporation, a Washington corporation (the Company), on March 30, 2017 to disclose the termination of the Repurchase Plan announced by the Company in a Schedule 13E-3 filed on March 20, 2017 (the Initial 13E-3). Capitalized terms used in this First Amendment and not defined in this First Amendment are defined in the Initial 13E-3.
Based upon review and careful consideration, further discussions with management, advisors and shareholders, and other relevant factors, on March 28, 2017, the Board determined that the consummation of the Reverse Stock Split should be deferred until no earlier than the fourth quarter of this year. The Board anticipates reevaluating the appropriate time for consummation of the Reverse Stock Split after the Companys 2017 annual meeting of shareholders. Considering the foregoing, the Board opted to forego the implementation of the Repurchase Plan.
Contemporaneously with the filing of this First Amendment, the Company is filing a Form 8-K to disclose the foregoing.
Item 15. Additional Information
