Press Release

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) has filed the definitive proxy statement regarding the shareholder vote on changes to its certificate of incorporation to facilitate its previously announced proposed dividend of Digital Voting Series A-1 Preferred Stock (“Series A-1 Preferred”).

“With this filing, we are another step closer to the issuance of a dividend of shares of Series A-1 Preferred,” said Overstock CEO Jonathan Johnson. “I continue to look forward to our shareholders’ chance to voice their support for this dividend in February. I am eager for the company to be able to issue the proposed OSTKO Series A-1 Preferred dividend in March.”

As previously announced, the company is seeking shareholder approval to change the terms of the Certificates of Designation for its Digital Voting Series A-1 Preferred Stock, OSTKO, and Voting Series B Preferred Stock. Shareholders will vote on whether to reallocate the number of preferred shares in order to pay the dividend on a 1:10 basis and to remove restrictions regarding the holding of digital shares. The company anticipates registering the Series A-1 Preferred with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933 so that the Series A-1 Preferred will be freely tradable by non-affiliates upon distribution.

The proxy vote date, which was first announced during Overstock’s Q3 2019 earnings call, will be held on February 13, 2020.

The company will continue to provide updates on the proposed dividend, and all other company matters, on its Newsroom and Investor Relations pages as they become available.
