The Fund announced today that the Board of Trustees approved the renewal of its open market share repurchase program (the “Program”) that was initially approved in February 2025.
Pursuant to the Fund’s repurchase program, the Fund may repurchase up to 5%1 of its outstanding common shares (based on common shares outstanding on March 4, 2026) on the open market at a discount to NAV.
The Program is intended to enhance shareholder value, as repurchases made at a discount may have the effect of increasing the NAV per share of the Fund’s remaining shares. In addition, repurchases of Fund shares may, at times, represent attractive investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund has previously repurchased 1,834,337 shares for a total cost of $23.4 million under the Program.
Pursuant to the Program, the Fund may, from time to time and at the discretion of management personnel and depending on price and prevailing market and business conditions, purchase shares of the Fund in the open market when the Fund is trading at a discount to its NAV. The Fund’s repurchase activity will be disclosed in the annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders.
