• Liquidity Plan Announced

  Board proposes an initial tender offer for up to 12.5% of common shares at 98% of NAV, launching within 45 days of King Street sub-adviser approval.

• Contingent Tender Offers

  Two additional tender offers for up to 12.5% of shares total, ~13 and 25 months after initial tender, triggered if discount stays above 15% or NAV performance conditions aren't met.

• Performance Hurdles Set

  Contingent tenders avoided if discount narrows below 15% for 15 of 20 trading days, or NAV increases by $0.25 from post-tender NAV (illustrated as ~$2.95/share total return, 13% at current NAV).

• Proxy Vote Condition

  Entire liquidity plan is contingent on shareholders approving the King Street sub-adviser at the August 6, 2026 special meeting.

The Board is offering shareholders a concrete exit path — an initial tender for 12.5% of shares at 98% of NAV, plus two contingent tenders — but only if they approve the King Street sub-adviser at the August 6 special meeting. This directly ties a liquidity event to the proxy outcome, raising the stakes in the ongoing fight with Octagon. The plan's performance hurdles (narrowing discount to under 15% or generating ~$2.95/share in total return) set a high bar, meaning the contingent tenders are likely to trigger unless performance improves dramatically. For a closed-end fund trading at a persistent discount, a near-NAV exit is a significant shareholder-friendly move — but it's conditional on winning the vote.
