Xerox Forward Looking on Holding Company Structure

Xerox Forward-Looking on Holding Company Structure 

Recently Xerox has received all required regulatory approvals for its proposed holding company reorganization. As previously announced, the board of directors of Xerox unanimously approved the holding company reorganization and Xerox shareholders adopted the merger agreement according to which Xerox expects to implement the holding company reorganization at Xerox’s annual shareholders’ meeting on May 21, 2019. The transaction is expected to close on July 31, 2019.

In the holding company reorganization, existing shares of Xerox common stock will be automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of common stock of Xerox Holdings Corporation, the new holding company. Shareholders of Xerox need not return stock certificates or otherwise take any action to exchange their shares of Xerox common stock. Xerox expects the common stock of Xerox Holdings Corporation to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under Xerox’s current trading symbol, “XRX,” at the opening of trading on Aug. 1, 2019. The common stock of Xerox Holdings Corporation has been assigned a new CUSIP Number: 98421M 106.

The management and business of Xerox will remain the same immediately following the holding company reorganization.

Dividend Declaration and Payment

Due to the anticipated timing for completion of the holding company reorganization, the common stock quarterly dividend usually declared by the Xerox board of directors in July is expected to be declared by the Xerox Holdings Corporation board of directors in August. Consistent with the Company’s normal practice, it is expected that the common stock quarterly dividend will still be payable on Oct. 31, 2019, to shareholders of record on Sept. 30, 2019.
