Oxford Square Capital Corp. Announces Transferable Rights Offering
May 10 2023 - 8:34AM
Oxford Square Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: OXSQ) (“we,” “us,” “our,”
“OXSQ” or the “Company”) announced today that its Board of
Directors has approved the terms of a transferable rights offering
to purchase shares of its common stock. Ladenburg Thalmann &
Co. Inc. will act as the Dealer Manager for the offering.
The Company will issue to stockholders of record
as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 23, 2023 transferable
rights to subscribe for an aggregate of up to 16,633,723 shares of
the Company’s common stock. Each record date stockholder will be
issued one transferable right for every three shares of the
Company’s common stock owned on the record date. The rights entitle
each holder to acquire at the subscription price one share of the
Company’s common stock for every right held (the “Primary
Subscription”). An application has been submitted for the rights to
be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the
symbol “OXSQR” with trading anticipated to begin on or around May
26, 2023. Rights may be exercised at any time during the
subscription period, which commences on May 24, 2023, and ends at
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2023, the expiration
date, unless the subscription period is extended by the Company
(the “Expiration Date”).
Record date stockholders who fully exercise all
rights issued to them are entitled to subscribe for additional
shares of the Company’s common stock that were not subscribed for
by other holders in the Primary Subscription, on the terms and
subject to the conditions that will be set forth in the prospectus
for this offering, including as to pro-ration. In addition, any
rights holders who were not record date stockholders who exercise
rights are entitled to subscribe for such additional shares that
are not otherwise subscribed for by record date stockholders
pursuant to their over-subscription privilege, on terms and subject
to the conditions that will be set forth in the prospectus for this
offering, including as to pro-ration. These over-subscription
privileges are referred to as the “Over-Subscription
Privilege”.
Members of senior management of the Company, who
own approximately 3.26 million shares of the Company’s common
stock, have indicated that they intend to fully exercise their
Primary Subscription rights.
The subscription price for the shares to be
issued pursuant to the rights will be the greater of (1) 92.5% of
the volume-weighted average of the sales prices of the Company’s
shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the
five consecutive trading days preceding the Expiration Date and (2)
95.0% of the last reported net asset value of the Company. The
subscription price will be determined on the Expiration Date. The
Company has the ability to terminate the rights offering at any
time prior to delivery of the rights and the shares of the
Company’s common stock offered thereby. If this rights offering is
terminated, all rights will expire without value, and no amounts
paid to acquire rights on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or
otherwise would be returned.
