Advent/Claymore Enhanced Growth & Income Fund Announces Expiration and Preliminary Results of Tender Offer
July 11 2017 - 6:37PM
Advent/Claymore Enhanced Growth & Income Fund (NYSE:LCM) (the
“Fund”) announced today the expiration and preliminary results for
its tender offer for up to 4,420,984 common shares (“Shares”) of
the Fund (approximately 32.5% of the outstanding Shares) (the
“Tender Offer”). The Tender Offer commenced on June 12, 2017 and
expired on July 11, 2017.
Based on current information, approximately
6,939,500 Shares, or approximately 51% of the Fund’s outstanding
common shares, were tendered through the expiration date. This
total does not include Shares tendered pursuant to notices of
guaranteed delivery. Because the number of Shares exceeded
4,420,984 Shares, the relative number of Shares that will be
purchased from each shareholder will be prorated based on the
number of Shares properly tendered. The final number of Shares
validly tendered and accepted pursuant to the tender offer and the
resulting pro-ration for each tendering shareholder is expected to
be announced on or about July 17, 2017.
The purchase price of properly tendered and
accepted Shares is 98% of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) as of
the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on July
12, 2017, the business day immediately following the day the Tender
Offer expired. Payment for Shares tendered and accepted is expected
to be sent to tendering shareholders on or about July 17, 2017.
Questions regarding the Tender Offer may be

offer, at (888) 206-0860.
