Tetragon Financial Group Limited Announcement of Tender Offer to Purchase
$35,000,000 of Tetragon Non-Voting Shares
LONDON, Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tetragon today announces the commencement
of a tender offer to purchase a portion of its outstanding non-voting shares for
a maximum aggregate payment of $35,000,000 in cash. The tender offer, which was
initially announced by Tetragon on 25 October 2023, will be conducted as a
"modified Dutch auction" with shareholders able to tender their Tetragon non
-voting shares at prices ranging from and including $8.75 up to and including
$10.50 per share. The tender offer is expected to expire at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on 6
December 2023, unless extended or terminated earlier. J.P. Morgan Securities plc
(which conducts its U.K. investment banking business as J.P. Morgan Cazenove)
will act as dealer manager for the tender offer and Computershare Investor
Services PLC will act as tender agent for the tender offer.
Eligible shareholders will be able to indicate how many Tetragon non-voting
shares and at what price or prices within the specified range they wish to
tender. Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by the
tendering shareholders, J.P. Morgan, as dealer manager, will determine the
lowest price per share within the range that will enable Tetragon to purchase
$35,000,000 in value of Tetragon non-voting shares, or a lower amount if the
tender offer is not fully subscribed. All shares purchased by Tetragon in the
tender offer will be purchased at the same price. If, based on the determined
purchase price, more than $35,000,000 in value of shares are properly tendered
and not properly withdrawn, valid tenders made below the determined purchase
price are expected to be accepted in full, except in the limited circumstances
described below, while valid tenders made at the determined purchase price will
be subject to proration. However, if the pro rata reduction of the number of
shares eligible to be purchased at the determined purchase price is insufficient
to reduce the value of the shares to be purchased to $35,000,000, then none of
the shares tendered at the determined purchase price will be purchased, and
instead there will be a pro rata reduction in the purchase of shares tendered at
the next highest price below the determined purchase price to the extent
necessary to reduce the value of shares purchased to $35,000,000. The determined
purchase price, as well as the proration factor (if applicable), is expected to
be announced on or 7 December 2023, and Tetragon expects the purchase of shares
in the tender offer would be settled promptly thereafter.
The tender offer is not conditioned upon the receipt of any minimum number of
shares being tendered.
