The common shares of Star Holdings have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), subject to official notice of issuance, under the symbol “STHO.”  We expect that a limited market in “when issued” trading of Star Holdings common shares on Nasdaq will develop one trading day before the record date of the distribution. Prior to the distribution, shares of iStar common stock that trade in the “regular way” market on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) will trade with the right to receive Star Holdings common shares on the distribution date. We expect that the common stock of the combined company in the merger (“New Safe”) will begin trading on a “when issued” basis on the NYSE on March 27, 2023, without the right to receive Star Holdings common shares in the distribution. After completion of the distribution and the merger, Star Holdings’ common shares will begin trading regular way on the Nasdaq and New Safe common stock will begin trading regular way on the NYSE. Inanna’s most famous myth is the story of her descent into and return from the ancient Mesopotamian underworld, ruled by her older sister Ereshkigal. After she reaches Ereshkigal’s throne room, the seven judges of the underworld deem her guilty and strike her dead.

All of them refuse her, except Enki, who sends two sexless beings to rescue Inanna. They escort Inanna out of the underworld, but the galla, the guardians of the underworld, drag her husband Dumuzid down to the underworld as her replacement. Dumuzid is eventually permitted to return to heaven for half the year, while his sister Geshtinanna remains in the underworld for the other half, resulting in the cycle of the seasons. In regards to payment of dividends and upon liquidation, the preferred shares rank equally with other preferreds and senior to the common shares of the company.

Market Regulation

An information statement will be made available to iStar’s stockholders regarding the terms of the distribution. The information statement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Registration Statement on Form 10 that has been filed by Star Holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the proposed spin-off. The closing of the merger is subject to certain conditions, as provided in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 10, 2022, between iStar and Safehold. This press release should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Alongside her twin brother Utu (later known as Shamash), Inanna was the enforcer of divine justice; she destroyed Mount Ebih for having challenged her authority, unleashed her fury upon the gardener Shukaletuda after he raped her in her sleep, and tracked down the bandit woman Bilulu and killed her in divine retribution for having murdered Dumuzid. In the standard Akkadian version of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Ishtar asks Gilgamesh to become her consort. When he disdainfully refuses, she unleashes the Bull of Heaven, resulting in the death of Enkidu and Gilgamesh’s subsequent grapple with his own mortality.
