Analysis · XFLT · Unknown
The Trust is offering to buy back up to 12.5% of its shares at 98% of NAV, a move designed to narrow the persistent 15% discount to NAV and provide liquidity to shareholders. The offer is part of a liquidity plan agreed with activist Bulldog Investors, which also includes two contingent tender offers over the next two years. The repurchase will reduce the Trust's asset base, potentially increasing leverage and expense ratios for remaining shareholders, but it directly addresses the discount that has weighed on the stock.
