This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Schedule TO”) relates to the tender offers by Woodbridge Liquidity Option, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Offeror”), to purchase up to 2,858,405 of the outstanding Class A Liquidation Trust Interests (the “Trust Interests”) of Woodbridge Liquidation Trust, a trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Trust”). The tender offer is being made at a price per Trust Interest of $10.00, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, less any applicable withholding taxes and less the amount of any dividends, distributions and other remittances paid by the Trust to holders of Trust Interests with a record date occurring anytime from and including the date hereof until the date and time the Trust Interests are accepted for payment. The tender offers are subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated December 12, 2019 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Assignment Form (the “Assignment Form”), which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute and are referred to as the “Offer.”

Contrarian Funds, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), indirectly owns all issued and outstanding equity interests in Offeror. Contrarian Capital Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, is the manager of Parent.

The Offer is being commenced on the date hereof by mailing the Offer to Purchase and the Assignment Form to each holder of Trust Interests at their respective addresses as they appear on the books and records of the Trust, as applicable.

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Assignment Form, copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) to this Schedule TO, is hereby incorporated by reference in answer to Items 1 through 11 of this Schedule TO.

The Schedule TO is being filed on a voluntary basis with the SEC, notwithstanding that the Trust Interests are not currently registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (referred to as the “Exchange Act”).  It is a condition to closing the Offer that the Trusts Interests become registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.  

On October 25, 2019, the Trust filed a Form 10 to register the Trust Interests under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.  Pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Trust Interests will be registered under Section 12(g) on December 24, 2019.  Accordingly, as the Offer is currently scheduled to expire on January 10, 2020, at the time of closing of the Offer, the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act relating to all tender offers will become applicable, including as to the filing of this Schedule TO.
