Announces Details of Tender Offer
NEW YORK, May 31, 2013 Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (MSIM), the investment adviser to The Thai Fund, Inc. (NYSE: TTF) (the Fund), announced today that the Funds Board of Directors has determined that the one-time tender offer it had previously authorized, subject to stockholder approval of restructuring the Fund, will be for up to 15 percent of the Funds outstanding shares at a price equal to 98.5 percent of the Funds net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day immediately following the day the offer expires (the Tender Offer). The Tender Offer is expected to commence following the completion of the restructuring which, if approved by the Funds stockholders, is anticipated to occur around the end of the third quarter of 2013.
Additional terms and conditions of the Tender Offer will be set forth in its offering materials, which will be distributed to stockholders upon commencement of the Tender Offer. If more than 15 percent of the Funds outstanding shares are tendered, the Fund will purchase its shares from the tendering stockholders on a pro rata basis. If the Funds shares trade at a premium following the restructuring, the Tender Offer will not be conducted.
The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Funds investment objective is long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of companies organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand.
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Like any stock, a closed-end funds share price will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. At the time of sale, Fund shares may have a market price that is above or below net asset value and may be worth more or less than the original investment. Accordingly, it is possible to lose money investing in the Fund. Please be aware that the Fund may be subject to certain additional risks.
