Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter).

Emerging growth company  ☐

If an emerging growth company, indicate by check mark if the registrant has elected not to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.  ☐

On or about February 6, 2017, the trustee (the “Trustee”) of the DNIB Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) sent a notice to the former shareholders (the “shareholders”) of DNIB Unwind, Inc. (the “Company”) requesting that the shareholders complete and return a Form W-8 or Form W-9 (the “Tax Forms”) as a condition to receiving future cash distributions under the Company’s plan of liquidation (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that, if a shareholder fails to complete and return the Tax Forms before 180 days after such a request is made by the Trustee, that shareholder forfeits any future distributions under the Plan.

Because the vast majority of the shares of the Company’s stock were held by brokers or nominees (in “street name”) as of August 30, 2016, the record date for making distributions under the Plan (the “Distribution Record Date”), the Trustee requested that the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) send a notice to all brokers and nominees requesting that each shareholder complete the applicable Tax Form and that each broker or nominee complete a certification form (the “Certification Form”). Once completed, the Tax Form and the Certification Form were to be sent to the Trust’s claims agent, Prime Clerk. The Certification Form requires that each broker or nominee provide certain identifying information to the Trust regarding the broker or nominee and the beneficial holder, including (1) the DTC participant name, number, contact name, authorized signature, contact number, and email address; (2) the beneficial holder’s name and account number; and (3) the number of shares of Company common stock (CUSIP 05548N 107) that were held by the broker or nominee for the indicated account as of the Distribution Record Date.

In the event that less than all shareholders complete the required Tax Forms (and thus less than all of the Company’s shareholders are entitled to future distributions under the Plan), DTC has confirmed to the Trustee that it will not agree to make any future distributions to the Company’s shareholders. As a result, any future distributions would have to be made by the Trust or its agent. Without the information in the Certification Form confirming the identity of each shareholder holding in street name and the number of shares of the Company’s stock that it held as of the Distribution Record Date, the Trust will not be able to make further distributions to those shareholders who do not return the applicable Tax Form and the Certification Form timely.

Therefore, in order to receive any additional distributions pursuant to the Plan, shareholders must, by August 7, 2017 (for shareholders that held the Company’s shares in street name as of the Distribution Record Date) and by August 8, 2017 (for shareholders that held the Company’s shares directly as of the Distribution Record Date):

As provided in the Plan, if any shareholder does not timely complete and return the applicable Tax Form and, if applicable, the Certification Form, to Prime Clerk LLC at the above address, any further distributions payable to such shareholder will irrevocably revert to the Company (and its debtor subsidiary) (the “Debtors”) or the Trust, and any claim in respect of such distributions will be disallowed and forever barred from assertion against the Debtors or the Trust.

A status report filed with the Bankruptcy Court on April 18, 2017 relating to the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
