• Liquidity Plan with Tender Offers

  The Board commits to an initial tender offer for up to 12.5% of shares at 98% of NAV within 45 days of King Street approval, plus two contingent tenders for up to an additional 12.5% if discount or NAV targets are missed.

• NAV Performance Hurdle

  To avoid the contingent tender, the Fund must generate $0.25 per share in NAV appreciation on top of distributions—equating to roughly $2.95 per share in total value creation over the measurement period.

• Proxy Advisor Endorsements

  ISS and Glass Lewis recommend shareholders vote FOR the King Street sub-advisory agreement, strengthening the Board's position.

• Octagon Termination Final

  The Board states that Octagon has been terminated; an 'Against' vote will not reinstate Octagon but will block the tender offers and discount management program.

With the shareholder vote just one day away, the Board's new proxy materials lay out a concrete liquidity plan—an initial 12.5% tender at 98% of NAV within 45 days, plus two contingent tenders—that directly tackles the persistent discount and NAV erosion fueling the proxy fight. Endorsements from ISS and Glass Lewis lend institutional weight to the case for replacing Octagon with King Street. Crucially, the filing warns that rejecting the King Street sub-advisory agreement would kill the tender offers, sharply raising the stakes for tomorrow's decision.
