Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is filed by Kayne Anderson MLP Investment Company (the "Company") on January 17, 2014. The filing addresses the imposition of a temporary suspension period regarding the sale of Series HH Floating Rate Senior Notes under an Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Company also filed its 2013 Annual Report to Stockholders (Form N-CSR) on this date, covering the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, or liquidity figures. It references the existence of audited financial statements within the concurrently filed 2013 Annual Report but does not summarize those values in this document.
Debt and Capital Structure Details:
- Old Notes Issued: $175,000,000 aggregate principal amount of unregistered Series HH Floating Rate Senior Notes due August 19, 2016 (issued August 22, 2013).
- Exchange Offer Results: $174,700,000 of the Old Notes were tendered and accepted for exchange into registered "New Notes" during the offer period (December 12, 2013 to January 10, 2014).
Material Changes
The primary material event is the successful completion of an exchange offer where approximately 99.8% of the outstanding Old Notes were exchanged for New Notes. The New Notes have identical terms to the Old Notes but are no longer subject to resale restrictions. Consequently, the Company has imposed a Suspension Period effective January 17, 2014, halting sales of New Notes by Exchanging Dealers until a Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement is filed and becomes effective.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary and Actions:
- The Company plans to file a Post-Effective Amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to incorporate the 2013 audited financial statements and a summary of the Exchange Offer results.
- Sales of New Notes are suspended until the amendment is effective, a new Prospectus is filed, and the Company notifies holders that the Suspension Period has ended.
- The Company retains the right to suspend sales for up to 60 consecutive days (90 days in aggregate per year) if it deems it materially detrimental to the Company.
Risks and Contingencies:
- The suspension prevents Exchanging Dealers from selling New Notes in the secondary market until the regulatory update is complete.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact date the Post-Effective Amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement becomes effective to determine when the Suspension Period ends.
- Review the 2013 Annual Report (Form N-CSR) filed on January 17, 2014, for the audited financial statements referenced in this filing.
- Confirm the status of the remaining $300,000 of Old Notes that were not tendered in the Exchange Offer.
- Monitor for the filing of the new Prospectus required to resume sales of New Notes.
