ATLANTA, Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
UPCOMING REORGANIZATION AND CEASING OF TRADING
As previously announced, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
of Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund (the "Fund;" Ticker:
VTA) held on September 3, 2021, Fund
shareholders approved a proposal to reorganize (the
"Reorganization") the Fund into a newly created closed-end interval
fund (the "Interval Fund"). The Interval Fund will offer four
classes of shares (Class A, Class AX, Class R and Class Y) and will
provide liquidity to shareholders in the form of quarterly
repurchase offers. The Interval Fund will be managed with the same
investment objective and similar investment strategy as the Fund,
all as described in the proxy statement/prospectus, which has been
filed publicly. Shareholders should read the proxy/statement
prospectus as it contains important information about the
Reorganization and the Interval Fund.
It is currently expected that the closing of the Reorganization
will occur effective on the open of business on Monday, November 1, 2021, subject to the
satisfaction of applicable regulatory requirements and customary
closing conditions. To facilitate the Reorganization, common
shares of the Fund will delist and cease trading on the New York
Stock Exchange as of market close on Thursday, October 28, 2021. On Monday, November 1, 2021, common shareholders
remaining in the Fund as of the market close on Thursday, October 28, 2021 will become
shareholders of the Interval Fund in the Reorganization and will
hold the Interval Fund. Common shareholders of the Fund who
become shareholders of the Interval Fund will receive newly issued
Class AX shares of the Interval Fund priced daily at the Interval
Fund's net asset value ("NAV").
The Interval Fund expects its initial repurchase offer to
commence in the first quarter of 2022. As a result, common
shareholders of the Fund remaining in the Fund as of the market
close on Thursday, October 28, 2021
who become shareholders of the Interval Fund will first have
an opportunity to redeem their Interval Fund shares in the first
quarter of 2022 at the current NAV per share.
CHANGE IN DIVIDEND PAYABLE DATE AND TERMINATION OF MANAGED
DISTRIBUTION PLAN
In addition, in connection with the Reorganization:
- The Fund's managed distribution plan described below will
terminate as of market close on Thursday,
October 28, 2021. The Interval Fund does not have a
managed distribution plan.
- The Fund's dividend payable date will occur on Friday, October 22, 2021 instead of October 29, 2021 as previously announced.
The Fund's previously announced ex-date of October 13, 2021, record date of October 14, 2021, and dividend amount of
$0.0750 per share will not
change.
MANAGED DISTRIBUTION PLAN
The Fund has implemented a managed distribution plan (the
"Plan") whereby the Fund will pay its monthly dividend to common
shareholders at a stated fixed monthly distribution amount of
$0.075 per share. The Plan is
intended to provide shareholders with a consistent, but not
guaranteed, periodic cash payment, regardless of when or whether
income is earned or capital gains are realized. If sufficient
investment income is not available for a monthly distribution, the
Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of
capital in order to maintain its managed distribution level under
the Plan. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or
all of the money that shareholders invested in the Fund is paid
back to them. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily
reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be
confused with "yield" or "income." No conclusions should be drawn
about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of its
distributions or from the terms of the Plan. The Plan will be
subject to periodic review by the Fund's Board of Trustees, and the
Board of Trustees may amend the terms of the Plan or terminate the
Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund's shareholders.
The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Fund's common shares.
