Item 2.01 Results of Operations and Financial Conditions.

Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust Agreement dated as of July 30, 2015 and between the parties thereto (the “GUC Trust Agreement”), Wilmington Trust Company, acting solely in its capacity as trust administrator and trustee of the Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust (the “GUC Trust Administrator,” and the trust referred to as the “GUC Trust”), is required to file certain GUC Trust Reports (as such term is defined in the GUC Trust Agreement) with the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). In addition, pursuant to that certain Bankruptcy Court Order Authorizing the GUC Trust Administrator to Liquidate New GM Securities for the Purpose of Funding Fees, Costs and Expenses of the GUC Trust and the Avoidance Action Trust, dated March 8, 2012, the GUC Trust Administrator is required to file certain quarterly variance reports as described in the third sentence of Section 6.4 of the GUC Trust Agreement (the “Budget Variance Report”) with the Bankruptcy Court.

On October 26, 2016, the GUC Trust Administrator filed the GUC Trust Report required by Section 6.2(c) of the GUC Trust Agreement, together with the Budget Variance Report, each for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016.

A copy of the Bankruptcy Court filing is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Pursuant to section 5.4 of the GUC Trust Agreement, the GUC Trust makes quarterly liquidating distributions to holders of units of beneficial interest in the GUC Trust (“GUC Trust Units”) to the extent that (i)(a) certain previously disputed claims asserted against the estates of Motors Liquidation Company and its affiliated debtors are either disallowed or otherwise resolved favorably to the GUC Trust (thereby reducing the amount of GUC Trust assets reserved for distribution in respect of such disallowed or resolved claims) or (b) certain GUC Trust assets that were previously set aside from distribution are released in the manner permitted under the GUC Trust Agreement, and (ii) as a result of the foregoing, the amount of GUC Trust assets available for distribution (the “Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets”) as of the end of the relevant quarter exceeds certain thresholds set forth in the GUC Trust Agreement.

Accordingly, the GUC Trust today announced that it anticipates making a distribution of Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets (an “Excess Distribution”) on or about November 14, 2016, to the holders of record of the GUC Trust Units as of November 7, 2016, in the amount of $3.523040 per GUC Trust Unit, which amount is further comprised of:

 

    $109,106,927 in cash held by the GUC Trust in respect of the liquidated proceeds of shares of common stock of General Motors Corporation (“New GM Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase New GM Common Stock previously held by the GUC Trust (“GUC Trust Distributable Cash”); and

 

    $3,115,876 in cash held by the GUC Trust in respect of dividends received on account of New GM Common Stock (“GUC Trust Dividend Assets”).

The exact timing of the allocation and distribution of Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets, however, is subject to the rules and procedures of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and The Depository Trust Company. In addition, all distributions to holders of GUC Trust Units are subject to the procedures of The Depository Trust Company and its participants. A copy of the notice to holders of GUC Trust Units regarding the Excess Distribution, which was provided today to the Depository Trust Company, is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K.
