NB Distressed Debt Investment Fund Limited
Capital Distributions of $8.15 million for NBDX
and £2.17 million for NBDG Shares
The Board of NB Distressed Debt Investment Fund Limited (the "Company") is pleased to announce $8.15 million in further capital distributions for the Extended Life ("NBDX") and £2.17 million for the New Global ("NBDG") Share Classes.
The distributions announced today result from the successful finalisation of the Buffalo Thunder notes restructuring which generated cash proceeds that are available for distribution.
NBDX
The Company has resolved to make a capital distribution totalling (before expenses) $8.15 million to NBDX shareholders (equivalent to approximately $0.1356 per NBDX share) by way of a compulsory partial redemption of NBDX shares at a price equal to $0.9602 per NBDX share (being the last published NAV per NBDX share prior to this announcement). The amount applied to the partial redemption of NBDX shares will be after the deduction of costs and expenses of this partial redemption, expected to be approximately $8,000.
NBDG
The Company has resolved to make a capital distribution totalling (before expenses) £2.17 million to NBDG shareholders (equivalent to approximately £0.0698 per NBDG share) by way of a compulsory partial redemption of NBDG shares at a price equal to £0.6762 per NBDG share (being the last published NAV per NBDG share prior to this announcement). The amount applied to the partial redemption of NBDG shares will be after the deduction of costs and expenses of this partial redemption, expected to be approximately £6,500.
Shareholder information
The redemption of both the NBDX and NBDG shares (the "Redemptions") will be effected pro rata to holdings of NBDX and NBDG shares on the NBDX and NBDG registers at the close of business on 2 May 2023 (the "Redemption Date"), being the record date for the Redemptions. Approximately 14.12 per cent. of the NBDX issued share capital and approximately 10.32 per cent. of the NBDG issued share capital will be redeemed on the Redemption Date. Fractions of shares produced by the NBDX Redemption ratio or the NBDG Redemption ratio will not be redeemed and so the number of shares of the relevant class to be redeemed from each shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.
Payments of redemption monies are expected to be effected either through CREST (in the case of shares held in uncertificated form) or by cheque (in the case of shares held in certificated form) by 17 May 2023. Any certificates currently in circulation will be superseded by a new certificate which will be distributed to shareholders by 16 May 2023.
The Company currently has 15,382,770 NBDD, 60,116,016 NBDX and 31,023,609 NBDG shares in issue.* All of the NBDX & NBDG shares redeemed on the Redemption Date will be cancelled.
The shares will be disabled in CREST on the Redemption Date and the existing ISIN number GG00BQWN6441 for the NBDX shares and GG00BQWN6334 for the NBDG shares (the "Old ISINs") will expire. The new ISIN GG00BNTXRC15 for the NBDX shares and GG00BNTXRB08 for the NBDG shares (the "New ISINs") in respect of the remaining shares which have not been redeemed will be enabled and available for transactions on 3 May 2023. For the period up to and including the Redemption Date, shares will be traded under the Old ISINs and as such, a purchaser of such shares may have a market claim for a proportion of the redemption proceeds following the activation of the New ISINs. CREST will automatically transfer any open transactions as at the Redemption Date to the New ISINs.
