Material Changes
The primary material change is the reduction of the public offering price per share. This adjustment 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 CIC's share pricing policy. The price reduction became effective on the January 9, 2019 weekly closing and applies to subscriptions received between January 2, 2019, and January 8, 2019.
Outlook and Management Commentary
Management determined the price reduction was warranted to align the offering price with the estimated NAV. Despite the price decrease, the company will maintain its weekly cash distribution amount, resulting in a higher annualized distribution yield based on the lower share price. The filing does not contain specific forward-looking guidance, risk factors, or contingencies beyond the pricing mechanism described.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
