Temporarily Suspends and Recommences Rights Offering

Liberty All-Star® Growth Fund, Inc. (NYSE: ASG) (the “Fund”) has announced that, as of the close of the market on October 11, 2018, it had temporarily suspended its previously announced offering to shareholders of record as of September 17, 2018 of non-transferable rights entitling them to subscribe for one additional shares for every three shares held (the “Primary Subscription”), with the right to subscribe for additional shares not subscribed for by others in the Primary Subscription. The Fund expects to file a supplement to its prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) no later than October 15, 2018 reflecting the event described below and will reinstate the rights offering immediately upon filing of the prospectus supplement. In addition, the Fund will extend the rights offering until October 31, 2018.

The Fund had, as required by the SEC’s registration form, undertaken to suspend the offering until it amended its prospectus relating to the offering if, subsequent to September 17, 2018, the effective date of the Fund’s registration statement relating to the offering, the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) declined more than ten percent from its NAV as of September 17, 2018. The NAV of the Fund as of October 11, 2018 was $5.65, representing a decline of 10.2% from its net asset value of $6.29 as of September 17, 2018.

As indicated above, the Fund expects to file a supplement updating information in the prospectus with the SEC no later than October 15, 2018 and will recommence the rights offering immediately upon filing the prospectus supplement. The Fund will notify shareholders of this decline by means of the prospectus supplement and thereby permit them to cancel any exercise of subscription rights they made prior to suspension of the offering on October 11, 2018.

Cancellation must be made by written communication to the subscription agent for the rights offering at the address listed in the prospectus referencing the prior subscription request. Cancellation requests by shareholders who exercised their subscription rights through securities brokers must be made to those brokers. All cancellation requests must be received by the Fund prior to the close of business on the revised Expiration Date of the offering, which is October 31, 2018. If a shareholder does not cancel a prior subscription request, the subscription will remain valid and be processed as submitted.

As a result of the extension of the rights offering, the following terms and conditions of the offering also are being revised: the Subscription Period (September 21, 2018 to October 31, 2018), the Expiration Date (October 31, 2018), and the Pricing Date (November 1, 2018), subject to the ability of the Fund to further extend the Subscription Period and the related dates as disclosed in the prospectus. All other terms and conditions are not being changed, including the Record Date (September 17, 2018), the aggregate number of shares offered (9,205,421) and the rate (one additional share for each three rights held).
