NII Holdings Announces Voluntary Delisting and Dissolution

RESTON, Va., Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NII Holdings, Inc. ("NII") [NASDAQ: NIHD] today announced that it notified the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") of its intent to delist its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), from the Nasdaq Global Select Market. NII expects to file a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and Nasdaq relating to the delisting of the Common Stock on or about December 30, 2019 and to suspend trading of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market prior to the opening of trading on January 2, 2020. NII does not expect that a trading market will develop for its Common Stock following suspension of trading on Nasdaq. NII expects that the official delisting of its Common Stock will be effective January 9, 2020.

As previously disclosed, NII's stockholders approved a plan to liquidate and dissolve NII following the completion of the then pending sale of its operations in Brazil, its sole remaining operating asset. In a separate release, NII today announced that this sale was completed on December 18, 2019. As a result, in addition to delisting its Common Stock, NII intends to file its certificate of dissolution on or about January 13, 2020.

NII also intends to file a Form 15 as soon as practicable to indefinitely suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and seek relief from its reporting obligations under the Act to file a Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019. The decision to seek such relief and to suspend such reporting obligations was based on numerous considerations, including the auditing, legal and other costs and expenses associated with continuing to make such filings with the SEC.
