Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On January 24, 2018, Actua Corporation (Actua) issued a press release announcing that it notified The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the NASDAQ) of its intention to voluntarily delist its common stock from the exchange. Actua intends to file a Form 25 notification of delisting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on January 29, 2018. Actuas expectation is that the delisting of its common stock from the NASDAQ will formally become effective on February 8, 2018. Following the delisting, Actua expects its common stock to begin trading on the OTCQB Market.
Actuas voluntarily delisting from the NASDAQ is a component of its previously announced plan to reduce costs as it winds down its operations in accordance with a plan of dissolution and was formally approved by Actuas Board of Directors on January 18, 2018.
A copy of Actuas press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.

Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding possible or assumed future results of operations of Actua, the execution and results of its plan of dissolution and related matters. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should, could, would, expect, plan, anticipate, believe, estimate, continue or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. You should, therefore, carefully read and consider statements that contain these words or expressions, as such forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements. There are no guarantees that Actua will be able to successfully complete the delisting as intended or the implementation of its plan of dissolution or that there will be any specific amount of reserve funds (or any at all) available for future distribution. Actuas Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017, respectively, each as filed with the SEC, contain and identify important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Actua assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement contained in this Form 8-K.
