Hello, I am Rick Pivirotto, Co-Head of Investor Relations of SLRC and of SLR Senior Investment Corp., ticker SUNS, and a stockholder of both companies.
As we prepare for the proposed merger of SLRC with SUNS, I want to thank you for your continued support as a stockholder of SLRC and I am urging you to vote
NOW to ensure that the upcoming special meeting of SLRC can occur on schedule.
The Board of Directors of SLRC recommends that you vote in favor of the
proposal to authorize the issuance of shares of SLRCs common stock to effect the merger of SLRC with SUNS.
We believe the proposed merger of these
complementary companies may offer significant benefits, including among others:
|
|
|
A permanent reduction of 25 basis points to the base management fee; |
|
|
|
The merger is expected to be accretive to net investment income per share for both SLRC and SUNS shareholders
over time; and, |
|
|
|
With approximately $2 billion of total assets, the combined company would have a larger market
capitalization that should provide greater trading liquidity and garner additional institutional investor interest. |
Please review the
joint proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of all benefits and potential risks and expenses relating to the proposed merger.
