DW Catalyst Fund Ltd - Discount Trigger Meeting Circular

DW Catalyst Fund Limited (the "Company")

(a closed-ended collective investment scheme established as a company with  limited liability under the laws of Guernsey with registered number 52520)

Publication of Discount Trigger Meeting Circular
 

17 February 2017

The Company announced on 9 February 2017 that the Discount Trigger Resolution procedure contained in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation had been triggered in respect of the year ended 31 December 2016.

The Company will today post a Circular to Shareholders convening a Discount Trigger Meeting at 10.30 a.m. on 9 March 2017, at which the Discount Trigger Resolution will be proposed.

The Circular also sets out an explanation of the business to be considered at the Discount Trigger Meeting, and the consequences of the Discount Trigger Resolution being approved or rejected by Shareholders.

If the Discount Trigger Resolution, which will be proposed as an ordinary resolution, is rejected, the Directors will take no further action and no Shares will be redeemed. The earliest that another Discount Trigger Resolution may be required to be proposed under the Articles would be in respect of the year ending 31 December 2017, depending on the share price performance of the Shares compared to the Company’s NAV.

If the Discount Trigger Resolution is passed, the Company must redeem all Shares which are voted in favour of the Discount Trigger Resolution (the “Redeeming Shares”). Shares which are voted against the Discount Trigger Resolution, or which are not voted, will not be redeemed pursuant to the Discount Trigger Resolution.

All Redeeming Shares will be redeemed by the Company on 1 August 2017.

Redeeming Shareholders will receive the Redeeming Share Redemption Proceeds in four quarterly instalments following each of 1 August and 1 November 2017 and 1 February and 1 May 2018, subject to the retention of a Hold-back Amount in certain circumstances, as more fully described in the Circular.
