Material Changes
CIC decreased its public offering price by $0.05 per share. This reduction was triggered by a decline in the company's NAV per share to an amount more than 2.5% below the then-current net offering price, in accordance with the company's share pricing policy. The new price became effective on the November 21, 2018 weekly closing and applies to subscriptions received between November 14, 2018, and November 20, 2018.
Outlook and Management Commentary
Management determined the price reduction was warranted to align the offering price more closely with the estimated NAV. Despite the price reduction, the company will maintain its weekly cash distribution amount, resulting in a slightly higher annualized distribution yield based on the lower share price. No specific guidance, risks, or contingencies beyond the pricing adjustment were detailed in this filing.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current Net Asset Value (NAV) per share to confirm the spread against the new $9.65 offering price.
- Confirm the effective date of the price change for any pending subscription orders.
- Review the company's share pricing policy to understand the specific thresholds for future price adjustments.
- Check subsequent filings for any changes to the weekly cash distribution amount.
