TENDER OFFER

Investor Information

On June 7, 2018, Altaba, Inc. (“Altaba” or the “Fund”) commenced a tender offer to purchase up to 195,000,000 (approximately 24%) of Altaba’s issued and outstanding shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), that are properly tendered in the Offer (as defined below) and not properly withdrawn.  The Offer, proration period and withdrawal rights  expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 8, 2018 (such date and time, the “Expiration Date”).

For each Share accepted in the Offer, stockholders received: (i) 0.35 American Depositary Shares (“Alibaba ADSs”) of Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba”), which are held by Altaba in its investment portfolio, less any Alibaba ADSs withheld to satisfy applicable withholding taxes and subject to adjustment for fractional Alibaba ADSs (the “ADS Portion”), and (ii) an amount in cash equal to the Alibaba VWAP (as defined below) multiplied by 0.05, less any cash withheld to satisfy applicable withholding taxes and without interest (the “Cash Portion” and, together with the ADS Portion, the “Offer Consideration”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 7, 2018, as amended and supplemented by the Supplement to Offer to Purchase, dated July 9, 2018 (together, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constituted the “Offer”).

The “Alibaba VWAP” means the daily volume-weighted average price for an Alibaba ADS on the second trading day prior to the Expiration Date (the “Determination Date”). On the Determination Date of August 6, 2018 (based on the Expiration Date of August 8, 2018), Altaba issued a press release announcing that it had determined the final Alibaba VWAP and the final Cash Portion of the Offer Consideration offered by the Fund pursuant to the Offer. The final Alibaba VWAP to be used in determining the Cash Portion of the Offer Consideration is $178.5246. The final Cash Portion per Share is $8.93, less any cash withheld to satisfy applicable withholding taxes and without interest, which was determined by multiplying the Alibaba VWAP of $178.5246 by 0.05. Such press release has also been filed as an amendment to the Schedule TO-I that the Fund has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the Offer.

Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Offer, promptly following the Expiration Date, Altaba will accept for purchase, and will thereafter promptly purchase, all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date.
