Luby's, Inc. Reminds Stockholders that the Last Day of Trading Ends Friday, May 27, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time
HOUSTON, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Luby's, Inc. (NYSE: LUB) (the "Company"), which is liquidating and winding down pursuant to a plan of liquidation and dissolution (the "Plan"), is reminding holders of the Company's common stock that, in connection with the transfer of the Company's remaining assets and liabilities to a liquidating trust to be known as LUB Liquidating Trust (the "Trust"), the last day of trading of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") will be Friday, May 27, 2022. The transfer of the Company's remaining assets and liabilities to the Trust is expected to occur at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight time on May 31, 2022. At such time, holders of the Company's common stock will automatically receive one unit in the Trust ("Unit") for each share of the Company's common stock held by such holder. As previously disclosed, Units will generally not be transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. For tax purposes, the fair value of each Unit in the Trust received by Company stockholders at such time, which reflects the value of the remaining assets of the Company (net of liabilities), will equal the average of the high and low trading prices for shares of the Company's common stock on the last three days on which the shares are traded on the NYSE.
For a discussion of the tax consequences of the transfer of the Company's assets to the Trust and the distribution of the Trust Units to the stockholders, please see "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Proposed Dissolution - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of a Liquidating Trust" beginning on page 48 of the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 6, 2020, in connection with the Plan. Stockholders are strongly advised to contact their investment and tax advisors.
The Company has sold all of its operating divisions, and sold the majority of its real estate, except for 17 properties, all of which it continues to market for sale. The Company also has certain financial instruments it has received as the result of its liquidation process. The Company has no debt outstanding other than certain payables and various non-funded debt liabilities. Inclusive of the distribution being paid on May 24, 2022, the Company has paid aggregate cash liquidating distributions of $2.70 per share.
