Voya Prime Rate Trust Recommends Voting Against Saba’s Proposal That the Board Consider a 40 Percent Self-Tender Offer
08 June 2020 - 11:30PM
Business Wire
Voya Prime Rate Trust (NYSE: PPR) (the “Trust”), today sent a
letter to shareholders outlining why its Board recommends
shareholders vote against a proposal put forward by a hedge fund
managed by Saba Capital Management (together with the hedge fund,
“Saba”) requesting that the Board authorize a 40 percent
self-tender offer of the outstanding shares of the Trust.
A self-tender of the size that Saba proposes would require the
Fund to dispose of more than half of its assets in uncertain market
conditions, with the losses and costs being borne largely by
shareholders other than Saba.
The Board has determined that this proposal is adverse to the
interests of the Trust’s long-term shareholders and urges
shareholders to cast their vote using the “WHITE” proxy card
“AGAINST” this proposal.
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on July 9,
2020.
The full text of the letter can be found here.
