Insights

The tender offer completion at $7.07 per share represents a significant capital return event for PCF shareholders. The 90% pro-rata acceptance rate indicates strong shareholder participation, with demand exceeding the maximum offer size of 10,675,000 shares. This tender offer effectively provides an exit opportunity for investors at a slight discount to NAV, while potentially supporting the stock price by reducing the float. The 2% discount to NAV is relatively modest, making it an attractive liquidity event for shareholders. The total value of shares being repurchased amounts to approximately $75.5 million, which is substantial given the fund's market cap of about $199 million. This corporate action demonstrates management's commitment to shareholder value and could help narrow any persistent trading discount to NAV.
