Woodbridge Liquidation Trust Announces DTC Eligibility of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests

SHERMAN OAKS, California— May 7, 2020—Woodbridge Liquidation Trust (the “Trust”) announced today that its Class A Liquidation Trust Interests (the “Class A Interests”) have been approved by the Depository Trust Company as eligible for Direct Registration System (“DRS”) services.  The Class A Interests are quoted on OTC Link® ATS under the trading symbol WBQNL.

With the availability of DRS services, registered holders of Class A Interests should be able to hold their Class A Interests, as they appear on the books and records of the Trust’s transfer agent Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Co. (“Continental”), in book-entry form, enabling these securities to be electronically transferred from Continental to a holder’s securities broker so that market trades can be executed by the broker at the instructions of the holder.

In a statement, Mr. Goldberg said, “DRS services should enable trades in the Class A Interests to be settled more quickly and efficiently.  While we are pleased to be able to facilitate the settlement of trades in this way, by doing so we do not intend to be making any buy, sell, hold or other recommendation with respect to any securities of the Trust.  As always, we recommend that, before trading or investing in Trust securities, every holder and investor carefully review the Trust’s filings with the SEC, consider his or her own particular individual financial circumstances and investment objectives, and consult with his or her investment and tax advisors.”

For detailed information regarding how Class A Interests may be transferred from the books and records of Continental to the holder’s securities broker, holders should contact Continental.  Continental can be reached as follows:
