Gabelli Go Anywhere Trust Announces Common Share Tender Offer and Redemption of Preferred Shares
20 Agosto 2021 - 4:15PM
Business Wire
As designed in the Initial Public Offering of The Gabelli Go
Anywhere Trust (NYSE American: GGO) (the “Fund”) September 2, 2016,
the Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has authorized an
issuer tender offer to purchase for cash all of the Fund’s issued
and outstanding common shares (the “Shares”). The price was set at
98% of the net asset value per Share determined on the last
business date prior to the expiration date of September 24, 2021
(the “Offer”). In addition, the Board of Trustees authorized a
distribution of $0.05 per Share payable on Sept 23, 2021, to
shareholders of record on September 16, 2021.
Also pursuant to the initial offering documents, the Fund’s
Board of Trustees initiated the provision to redeem all outstanding
Series A Cumulative Puttable and Callable Preferred Shares (the
“Series A Preferred Shares”), at the liquidation preference of
$40.00 per share. At the time of the redemption on September 27,
2021 (the “Redemption Date”), Series A Preferred shareholders will
also receive a $0.50 per share distribution payable to shareholders
of record on September 20, 2021, plus $0.0055 per share
representing accumulated and unpaid dividends and distributions to
the Redemption Date.
All or part of the distribution may be treated as long-term
capital gain or qualified dividend income (or a combination of
both) for individuals, each subject to the maximum federal income
tax rate for long term capital gains, which is currently 20% in
taxable accounts for individuals (or less depending on an
individual’s tax bracket). In addition, certain U.S. shareholders
who are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds
certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare
surcharge on their "net investment income", which includes
dividends received from the Fund and capital gains from the sale or
other disposition of shares of the Fund.
If the Fund does not generate sufficient earnings (dividends and
interest income, less expenses, and realized net capital gain)
equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions paid by the
Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the
Fund’s earnings would be deemed a return of capital. Since this
would be considered a return of a portion of a shareholder’s
original investment, it is generally not taxable and would be
treated as a reduction in the shareholder’s cost basis.
Long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, investment
company taxable income, and return of capital, if any, will be
allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common
shareholders for the year. Based on the accounting records of the
Fund currently available, each of the distributions paid to common
and preferred shareholders in 2021 would include approximately 2%
from net investment income and 98% from net capital gains on a book
basis. This does not represent information for tax reporting
purposes. The estimated components of each distribution are updated
and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the
distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com).
The final determination of the sources of all distributions in 2021
will be made after year end and can vary from the quarterly
estimates. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the
Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current
distribution. All individual shareholders with taxable accounts
will receive written notification regarding the components and tax
treatment for all 2021 distributions in early 2022 via Form
1099-DIV.
This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a
solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of the Fund. The
Offer is being made only pursuant to the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO, including an Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal
and related materials that the Fund filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 3, 2021. Shareholders of the
Fund are urged to carefully read the Tender Offer Statement, Offer
