On the Plan Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, (a) the following assets automatically vested in the Trust: (i) an aggregate $5,000,000 in cash from the Debtors for the purpose of funding the Trust’s initial expenses of operation; (ii) certain claims and Causes of Action; (iii) all of the outstanding equity interests of the Wind-Down Entity (as defined below); and (iv) certain other non-real estate related assets, (b) the equity interests of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund 1, LLC (together, the “Remaining Debtors”) were cancelled and new equity interests representing all of the newly issued and outstanding equity interests in the Remaining Debtors were issued to the Trust, (c) all of the other Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors were dissolved and (d) the real estate-related assets of the Debtors were automatically vested in the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Woodbridge Wind-Down Entity LLC (the “Wind-Down Entity”) or one of the Wind-Down Entity’s 43 wholly-owned single member LLCs (the “Wind-Down Subsidiaries”) formed to own the respective real estate assets. The Trust, the Remaining Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” The Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Wind-Down Group.” As further discussed in Note 8, the Trust has two classes of liquidation trust interests: Class A Liquidation Trust Interests (the “Class A Interests”) and Class B Liquidation Trust Interests (the “Class B Interests”). The holders of Class A Interests and Class B Interests are collectively referred to as “All Interestholders” or “Interestholders.” Class A Interests and Class B Interests are collectively referred to as “Liquidation Trust Interests.” On December 24, 2019, the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form 10 relating to the Trust’s Class A Interests became effective under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The trading symbol for the Trust’s Class A Interests is WBQNL. Bid and asked prices for the Trust’s Class A Interests are quoted on the OTC Link® ATS, the SEC-registered alternative trading system.
