Gleacher & Company Announces Sixth and Final Liquidating Distribution and Extension of Wind up Period

Gleacher & Company, Inc. GLCH (the "Company") announced December 19, 2018 that the Board of Directors has determined to make a sixth and final liquidating distribution to Company stockholders in the amount of $0.81 per share of the Company's common stock (approximately $5.01 million in the aggregate). The record date for this distribution is December 19, 2018. The Company anticipates that the payment date will be on or about December 31, 2018. Total liquidating distributions, including this sixth and final distribution, since the filing of the Company's Certificate of Dissolution in July 2014 amount to $11.98 per share of the Company's common stock (approximately $74.1 million in the aggregate). The Company intends to make no further liquidating distributions. In connection with the payment of the sixth and final distribution, the shares of capital stock of the Company will be cancelled and the former holders of capital stock of the Company will thereafter have only the right to receive the sixth and final distribution. The Company will take action to halt trading in the Company's securities, including causing FINRA to remove the symbol of the Company and causing FINRA to inform OTC Markets Group that FINRA has done so such that OTC Markets Group removes the quotations in the Company's securities.

The amounts distributed to stockholders are affected by many factors, including the resolution of outstanding known claims and obligations of the Company, the incurrence of unexpected or greater-than-expected losses with respect to contingent liabilities, the assertion of claims against the Company, the Company's realizations on selling or otherwise monetizing the Company's remaining assets, the need to dissolve and wind up each of the Company's subsidiaries, and costs incurred to wind up our business.

The Company also announced that it has requested and received from the Delaware Chancery Court an extension of the period during which the Company may wind-up its affairs under Delaware General Corporation Law from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The Company believes such time period will provide sufficient time to complete the wind-up of the Company's affairs. The actual wind-up period for the Company may be shorter or longer than requested and, if additional time is needed to complete the wind-up of the Company's affairs, the Company would need to seek an additional extension.
