Actua Announces Liquidating Distribution

Company will distribute $0.15 per share to stockholders


RADNOR, Pa., Oct. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Actua Corporation announced today that it will make a liquidating distribution of $0.15 per share to its stockholders of record as of October 15, 2018; payment of the liquidating distribution will be made on October 18, 2018.  The aggregate distribution of approximately $4.8 million is being made in light of the recent receipt of additional cash related to prior asset dispositions and the resolution of outstanding litigation on financial terms more favorable than originally anticipated.  

Actua intends to make additional liquidating distributions to its stockholders from time to time as it monetizes its minority assets; however, Actua cannot predict with certainty the amount and timing of any additional liquidating distributions.  Based on the information currently available to it and taking into account the aforementioned cash proceeds receipt and litigation resolution, the Company now believes that the estimated additional distributions following the $0.15 liquidating distribution will be in the range of between $0.64 and $1.39 per share.
 
Information regarding any future stockholder distributions will be publicly disclosed through Current Reports on Form 8-K and company press releases.
