CHENAVARI TORO INCOME FUND LIMITED (the "Company")
22 November 2018
Proposed annual tender offer with potential sale of shares out
of treasury
The Board of Chenavari Toro Income Fund Limited announces that
in order to improve the Company's trading liquidity, it is
proposing to undertake an annual tender offer with potential
associated sale of shares out of treasury (each an "Annual
Liquidity Process").
The terms of each Annual Liquidity Process would be disclosed in
advance, with the tender price targeted to be at a tighter discount
to NAV year after year.
The quantum of shares available for each tender offer and the
tender price would be announced ahead of each tender offer, and
eligible shareholders would be entitled to participate up to a
maximum of their individual pro-rata entitlements in each tender
offer, with no over-election permitted.
Once a tender offer result is announced, a certain number of
shares to be purchased by the Company as part of such tender offer
would be made available to investors. To the extent practicable,
resold shares would only be available to new investors or existing
shareholders who have not participated in the tender offer.
The shares available for resale would be sold at the prevailing
market price at the time of sale and would enable investors to buy
larger quantities of shares, which is currently not possible due to
low liquidity levels.
The parameters of each Annual Liquidity Process will ensure that
the cumulative overall effect of each such process is not dilutive
to the Company's remaining shareholders.
The first Annual Liquidity Process is expected to take place in
Q1 2019. A circular, detailing the parameters of the first Annual
Liquidity Process, and convening to an Extraordinary General
Meeting of the Company, will be published in due course.
The current concert party, comprising Chenavari Investment
Managers Holdings and parties deemed to be acting in concert with
it for the purposes of The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, do
not intend to participate in the tender offer associated with the
first Annual Liquidity Process, save that Chenavari European
Opportunistic Credit Master Fund LP (a member of the concert party)
may participate in the tender offer to the extent required to
maintain its percentage shareholding in the Company at below 30 per
cent.
The Board anticipates that these actions will help to address
the liquidity issue and the persistent discount to net asset value
at which the Company has been trading.
