  • Reserve Fund Holders May Get 99 Cents a Share
    Some good news for Equinix.

    Background:
    • One final note related to our cash balances. As was noted on previous calls, we placed some funds in the Reserve Primary Fund, the money market fund that [inaudible] in September of 2008. During the quarter the Reserve Fund announced their intent to maintain $3.5 billion of assets to settle their legal obligations and claims. As a result, we adjusted the net anticipated recovery to $0.917 per $1 of investment.
    (from Seeking Alpha transcripts, Equinix conference call - 1Q 2009).

    Today on the WSJ:

    Reserve Fund holders may get 99 cents a share

    Reserve Primary Fund and its independent trustees filed a court brief Friday, supporting the distribution of the money-market fund's remaining assets as soon as possible.

    The brief also said unpaid shareholders may receive slightly more than previously anticipated: Based on revised calculations and updated data, each unpaid shareholder may receive $0.9875 per share on a pro rata basis, and possibly as much as 99 cents per share. It had previously estimated that investors would receive $0.985 per share.

    ...

    Assuming that the fund is unable to recover any value for its Lehman Brothers Holdings securities, which have a face value of $785 million, remaining investors would be paid $0.9875 per share on a pro rata basis.

    Shareholders could receive 99 cents per share if the fund receives 17% of par value for the Lehman securities, a figure that may reflect the current market value of the holdings, the statement said.
