FMO Announces Reverse Share Split
11 July 2020 - 6:15AM
Fiduciary/Claymore Energy Infrastructure Fund (“FMO” or the “Fund”)
announced today that the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved a
reverse share split of 1-for-5 to be effective on July 27, 2020.
Upon the effectiveness of the reverse share split, every five
outstanding common shares of FMO will automatically be converted
into one common share. The Fund's common shares will continue
trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the Fund’s existing
ticker symbol (FMO), but will be assigned a new CUSIP number
(31647Q 205). The Fund’s common shares are expected to begin
trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on July 27,
2020.
A reverse share split would reduce the total
number of the Fund’s outstanding shares and may help improve the
Fund’s positioning in the marketplace and liquidity for new and
existing shareholders. A reverse share split will not alter the
rights or total value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund,
nor will it be a taxable event for Fund investors.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result
of the reverse share split. Shareholders who would otherwise have
received fractional shares in the reverse share split will be paid
an amount based on the amount of fractional shares held.
More Information About the Fund
The Fund's investment objective is to provide a
high level of after-tax total return with an emphasis on current
distributions paid to shareholders. Under normal market conditions,
the Fund invests at least 80% of its managed assets in energy
infrastructure master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and other
energy infrastructure companies (“energy infrastructure entities”)
and invests at least 65% of its managed assets in equity securities
of energy infrastructure entities. A substantial portion of the
energy infrastructure entities in which the Fund invests are
engaged primarily in the energy, natural resources and real estate
sectors.
There can be no assurance that the Fund will
achieve its investment objective. Investments in the Fund involve
operating expenses and fees. The net asset value of the Fund will
fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities. It is
important to note that closed-end funds trade on their market
value, not net asset value, and closed-end funds often trade at a
discount to their net asset value.
