Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 14, 2017, the shareholders of Pendrell Corporation (the "Company") approved a 1-for-100 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock (the "Class A Stock") and Class B common stock.

On September 20, 2017, the Company’s board of directors (the "Board") set November 30, 2017 as the effective date for the Reverse Stock Split, but reserved the right to delay or cancel the Reverse Stock Split if the Reverse Stock Split will not reduce the number of record holders of Class A Stock below 300, or if the Board determines that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders. The Board also authorized the de-registration and de-listing of the Class A Stock from NASDAQ promptly after completion of the Reverse Stock Split, and clarified that the Company does not currently plan to publish financial information following the expiration of the Company’s reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Class A Stock may continue to trade on OTC Pink®, a market often referred to as the "pink sheets."

Contemporaneously with the filing of this current report on Form 8-K, the Company is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Schedule 13E-3 to amend the prior Schedule 13E-3 filed on May 22, 2017. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Schedule 13E-3, as amended, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
