GLENDALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Woodbridge Liquidation Trust (the “Trust”) announced that its Liquidation Trustee, with the approval of the Trust’s Supervisory Board, has declared an aggregate cash distribution of $65 million on the Trust’s Class A Liquidation Trust Interests (the “Class A Interests”). This amount includes a reserve of approximately $850,000 for amounts that are or may become payable (a) in respect of Class A Interests that may be issued in the future upon the allowance of unresolved bankruptcy claims, (b) in respect of Class A Interests issued on account of recently allowed claims, (c) for holders of Class A Interests who failed to cash checks mailed in respect of prior distributions, (d) for distributions that were withheld due to pending avoidance actions, and (e) to holders of Class A Interests for which the Trust is awaiting further beneficiary information.
The distribution amounts to $5.63 per Class A Interest, and will be paid on or about July 15, 2022 to holders of record of Class A Interests as of close of business on June 30, 2022.
Regarding the distribution, the Trust’s Liquidation Trustee Michael Goldberg said, “I am pleased to be able to announce this additional interim distribution to our holders. As the Company is approaching the end of its real estate portfolio liquidation activities and has only a small number of real estate assets remaining, I would remind all investors in the Trust that future distributions will be limited. Once the Company’s remaining real property assets have been liquidated and the net proceeds resulting therefrom, net of reserves, have been distributed, further distribution(s) are expected to be materially reliant on future recoveries from litigation. Such recoveries are uncertain and the amount and timing of such recoveries are difficult to determine.”
