On behalf of the entire ContextLogic team, I would like to thank our stockholders for their support of this value-maximizing transaction,” said Rishi Bajaj, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “Looking ahead, our reconstituted Board and management team will focus on identifying and executing strategic opportunities for the benefit of ContextLogic and its stockholders.”
Following the completion of the Asset Sale, ContextLogic has exited the operation of our e-commerce business and other historical operations. However, we do not currently intend to liquidate. We have begun to review strategic opportunities for the use of our Post-Closing Cash. We will develop a process and procedures for evaluating alternatives for the use of our Post-Closing Cash, and reviewing, identifying and executing strategic opportunities for the benefit of ContextLogic and its stockholders. Those alternatives are currently expected to include using the Post-Closing Cash to fund, at least in part, the acquisition of assets that will potentially allow the Company to utilize the NOLs and certain other tax attributes.
