Contingent Tender Condition Tightened

Analysis · XFLT · Unknown
With the special meeting just two days away, XFLT's board has secured a recommendation from Seeking Alpha's High Dividend Opportunities group, adding to earlier support from ISS and Glass Lewis. The board also refined the contingent tender offer condition, now requiring the discount to NAV to stay below 15% for 15 of 20 days in the final three months of the measurement period — a higher bar that could make the buyback less likely to trigger. Both moves are designed to sway remaining shareholders in the heated proxy fight against Octagon Credit Investors.
