Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, on June 3, 2019, GUE Liquidation Companies, Inc., fka FTD Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions commencing cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the U.S. Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (together, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are being jointly administered under the caption, In re GUE Liquidation, Inc., Case No. 19-11240 (LSS) (Bankr. D. Del.). The Debtors maintain their remaining assets as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

On December 19, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for the Debtors, as filed with the Bankruptcy Court on December 13, 2019 and as thereafter modified (the “Plan”), which Plan modified the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for the Debtors, as filed with the Bankruptcy Court on October 28, 2019 (the “Previous Plan”). Previously, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Disclosure Statement (Docket No. 840) in connection with the Previous Plan (the “Disclosure Statement”). The description of the Confirmation Order and the Plan contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Confirmation Order and the Plan, as applicable. A copy of the Plan, as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, and the Confirmation Order are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Disclosure Statement, other Bankruptcy Court filings and information related to the Chapter 11 Cases are available on a separate website administered by the Company’s claims agent, Omni Management Group (“Omni”), at www.omnimgt.com/GUE, or by calling Omni representatives toll-free at 1-866-205-3144 or 1-818-906-8300 for calls originating outside of the U.S. Documents and other information available on such website are not part of this Form 8-K and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K.

The effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”) will occur on the business day after all conditions set forth in the Plan have been met or waived in accordance with the provisions therein. The Debtors will file a notice of effective date with the Bankruptcy Court and will file an 8-K to that effect.

PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE PLAN, ALL OF THE COMPANY’S EXISTING EQUITY INTERESTS, CONSISTING OF AUTHORIZED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY, WILL BE DEEMED CANCELLED UPON THE EFFECTIVE DATE, AND THE COMPANY’S SHAREHOLDERS WILL NOT RECEIVE OR RETAIN ANY DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER PROPERTY ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR SHARES. AS OF THE DATE OF THE CONFIRMATION ORDER, THERE WERE 28,438,482 SHARES OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING.

Summary of the Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan, as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan.

The Plan provides for the appointment of two liquidating trustees (the “Liquidating Trustees”) and for the transfer of the Debtors’ remaining assets to two liquidating trusts (the “Liquidating Trusts”). The Liquidating Trustees will administer the Plan and the Liquidating Trusts. The Liquidating Trustees will also serve as the representatives of the Debtors’ estates (the “Estates”) for the purpose of liquidating causes of action belonging to the Estates, in accordance with the Plan. Among other things, the Liquidating Trustees will (i) resolve all disputed claims, (ii) make distributions to holders of allowed claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan and (iii) otherwise implement the Plan.

The classes and types of claims and interests in the Debtors are described in the Plan, and terms used herein refer to the terms set forth in the Plan. Other than Administrative Expense Claims and Priority Tax Claims, the claims and interests in the Debtors are divided into five classes. The Plan generally provides for payment in full, in cash, to holders of Allowed Class 1 Priority Claims and Allowed Class 3 Other Secured Claims. Holders of Allowed Class 2 Secured Claims are generally entitled to receive their pro rata shares of (i) the Debtor Liquidation Trust Assets in excess of any payments reserved to fund the Debtor Liquidation Trustee Functions (other than payment of Allowed

Secured Lender Claims) or to pay claims (other than Allowed Secured Lender Claims) from such Debtor Liquidation Trust Assets; and (ii) the Additional Secured Lender Recovery (each as defined in the Plan). Holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims are generally entitled to receive their pro rata shares of (i) the Committee Settlement Amount Net Proceeds; and (ii) the Committee Liquidation Trust Retained Causes of Action Net Proceeds less the Additional Secured Recovery (each as defined in the Plan). Holders of Allowed Class 5 Interests will not receive any distribution pursuant to the Plan; all Interests will be cancelled as of the Effective Date.

Certain Information Regarding Assets and Liabilities of the Company

Information as to the assets and liabilities of the Debtors as of the most recent practicable date was included in the Monthly Operating Report for the period beginning November 1, 2019 and ending November 30, 2019 (the “November Monthly Operating Report”), which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The November Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The November Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws or rules, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation.

Item 3.03. Material Modification of Rights of Security Holders.

Pursuant to the Plan, all equity interests in the Company (including outstanding shares of common stock, options, warrants or contractual or other rights to acquire any equity interests of the Company) will be deemed cancelled on the Effective Date.
