Advent/Claymore Enhanced Growth & Income Fund (NYSE:LCM) (the “Fund”) announced today that the Fund’s Board of Trustees has approved a modification to the Fund’s previously announced potential tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for up to 32.5% of the Fund’s outstanding common shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) at a price per Share equal to 98% of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) as of the business day immediately following the expiration of the Tender Offer.

Under the modified terms, the Fund will repurchase Shares tendered and accepted in the Tender Offer in exchange for cash, instead of in exchange for a pro rata portion of the Fund’s portfolio securities. It is anticipated that the Tender Offer will commence as soon as commercially practicable, but no later than June 16, 2017. The Board of Trustees of the Fund believes the Tender Offer could benefit participating shareholders by providing liquidity at a price per Share that is higher than the then current market price of the Shares. The Board of Trustees believes the Tender Offer could also benefit the Fund and its long-term shareholders because the Tender Offer would be conducted at a price per Share that would be accretive to NAV.

The commencement of the potential Tender Offer is pursuant to standstill agreements with certain holders of Shares, which agreements have been amended to reflect the modified terms described herein.

The above statements are not intended to constitute an offer to participate in any tender offer. Information about the tender offer, including its commencement, will be announced via future press releases. Shareholders will be notified in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, either by publication or mailing or both. A tender offer will be made only by an Offer to Purchase, a related Letter of Transmittal and other documents, to be filed with the SEC. Shareholders of the Fund should read the Offer to Purchase and tender offer statement and related exhibits when those documents are filed and become available, as they will contain important information about the tender offer. These and other filed documents will be available to investors for free both at the website of the SEC and from the Fund.
