Quarterhill Inc T.QTRH

After Apple, QTRH must be split into 2 separate companies

[shareholders1]

...Either Wilan is sold to the highest bidder, or Wilan is spun off to QTRH shareholders (tax free), allowing QTRH shareholders to decide themselves if they wish to remain invested in both, or not.

The ITS business should get a much larger valuation as a pure play, likely creating immediate additional value for QTRH shareholders.

Selling Wilan makes most sense, as additional cash would be raised to fund ITS (over and above any Apple award/ settlement) or could be returned to shareholders via NCIB (or special issuer bid)  or dividends.

Anyone with a meaningful number of QTRH shares should let QTRH management know their thoughts.

Right on shareholders1

Shareholders, as I've posted several times, this needs clarity on the value of the wireless/Stanwood IP as a major part of Wilan's overall valuation.  The CAFC in the Apple case should provide that clarity.  Everything falls into place after that. ITS does not need the headwinds and shade associated with the IP business; QTRH cannot afford the opportunity

Yes! I would think we could sell it (WILAN) to a big tech player they would avoid litigation for copyright and or could battle it out with other Big Tech. It would inject much welcome cash that could be tevinvested immediately into the IRD - ITS pure play!!! (Cheering)

Bring back the two Dicks to organize us and put the board on notice. Or Start a change.org petition, market it as best you can and get as many shareholders signatures and tally up the shares.

Why whaler?

Y'all are FINALLY getting it!  :)

Am I missing something important.  We have 2 separate comapnies as of today. Quarterhill has done  what board members are talking about. Quarterhill has formed Formed  Quarterhill  ITS inc.   Which is what everybody talking about now. I presume all of IRD, tuck ins other ITS assets including ETC will be or are in separate company. As ITS  assets in

[shareholders1]

You missed the point entirely. 2 separate companies that are directly owned by current QTRH shareholders.

[cabbieJBJ]

My preference is for a divestiture.  In any event, the CAFC ruling on the Apple case will provide valuation guidance either way.

[astutein]

I haven't missed the point. Quarterhill ITS INC was incorporated Aug 5 2021. The two separate companies directly owned bu current QTRH shareholders are One- Is QTRH ITS INC Two   Wilan

[shareholders1]

Cabbie, A sale of Wilan would be my preference as well. That way, the value of Wilan can be maximized. If Wilan was spun off to QTRH shareholders, it would likely trade at a discount to intrinsic value. Astutein - have you never held a publicco that reorganized itself, where its shareholders ended up with 2 separately traded listed companies that they owned directly? I cannot believe you do not

[cabbieJBJ]

Astutein, I'm not sure what Quarterhill ITS means except it was on the HBSC loan document for the ETC acquisition financing.

"Astutein"  - Read the AIF which describes the corporate structure.  Anyone buying QTRH shares owns shares of just one corrporation - QTRH. QTRH can own many different susidiaries itself, but QTRH shareholders do not have a direct ownership in any of those subs.  With all the subs there are for p/the atents, which are often talked about on this board, I am really
