Share
The Board of Directors of Liberty All Star Growth Fund Inc. (NYSE:ASG) authorized a tender offer on June 25, 2012. Under the offer, the company will repurchase up to 25% of its outstanding shares of common stock at a price equal to 95% of its net asset value per share. If the amount of the Fund's outstanding common stock that is properly tendered and not properly withdrawn exceeds the maximum amount of its offer, the Fund will purchase shares from tendering stockholders on a pro rata basis, with appropriate adjustment to avoid purchase of fractional shares of common stock. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Fund will purchase all of a stockholder's tendered shares. The tender offer will expire on July 24, 2012, or on such later date to which the offer is extended. AST Fund Solutions, LLC acted as the information agent to the fund for the buyback transaction.
