Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities

On May 25, 2021, Altaba Inc., a Delaware corporation, published its unaudited consolidated statement of assets and liabilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The unaudited consolidated statement of assets and liabilities is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information disclosed under this Item 2.02 is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made under the Securities Act of 1933, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Tax Updates

In March 2021 and April 2021, the Fund entered into Closing Agreements with the California Franchise Tax Board (“FTB”) regarding the Fund’s taxable years ending on December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (“CA Agreements”). The CA Agreements are subject to standard carve-outs and exceptions. The tax obligation including penalties and interest from the CA Agreements resulted in payments of $59.9 million. While these payments were made in April 2021, the NAV per share reported at March 31, 2021 reflects the impact of the CA Agreements.

In April 2021, the Fund received additional draft Notice of Proposed Adjustments (“NOPAs”) with respect to two issues under review by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the taxable years ending December 31, 2016 and 2017. The NOPAs reflect a proposed net increase of approximately $78.5 million in the associated resulting federal tax liability. The Fund disagrees with the IRS’s position in certain of the draft NOPAs and is evaluating the actions it will take in response. If the Fund is not able to resolve the proposed adjustments in the draft NOPAs or any future NOPAs at the IRS examination-level, the Fund reserves the right to pursue all available administrative and, if necessary, judicial remedies which may include entering into administrative settlement discussions with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“IRS Appeals”) and petitioning the U.S. Tax Court for redetermination if an acceptable outcome cannot be reached with IRS Appeals. However, if the IRS prevails in the assessment of additional tax, interest and penalties, such outcome could be material. The Fund regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome, settlement or other resolution resulting from these proceedings to determine the adequacy of the Fund’s tax accruals.
