DESTRA MULTI-ALTERNATIVE FUND

REPURCHASE OFFER

1.       The Offer. Destra Multi-Alternative Fund ("Fund") is offering to repurchase, for cash, up to five percent (5%) of its issued and outstanding shares (the “Repurchase Offer Amount”) at a price equal to the net asset value ("NAV") as of the close of regular business hours on the New York Stock Exchange on the Repurchase Pricing Date (defined below). The purpose of this offer is to provide a level of liquidity to shareholders since no secondary market exists for these shares. This offer is not conditioned on the tender of any minimum number of shares. This offer is made subject to the terms and conditions made in this Repurchase Offer, the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information, and the related Repurchase Request Form.

2.       Net Asset Value. The NAV of the Fund on December 13, 2018, by class and per share, was $13.67 for Class A, $13.27 for Class C, $13.88 for Class I and $13.40 for Class L per share. The NAV at which the Fund will repurchase shares will not be calculated until the Repurchase Pricing Date. The NAV can fluctuate. Therefore, the NAV on the Repurchase Pricing Date may be higher or lower than the NAV stated above or the date on which you return your Redemption Request Form. The current NAV may be obtained by calling 1-855-601-3841 and asking for the most recent price. The shares of the Fund are not traded on any organized market or securities exchange.

3.       Repurchase Request Offer Period and Repurchase Request Deadline. This quarter’s Repurchase Offer period begins on December 18, 2018. All Redemption Request Forms must be received in proper form by 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 18, 2019 (the “Repurchase Request Deadline). The Repurchase Request Deadline will be strictly observed.

4.       Repurchase Pricing Date. The NAV used to calculate the repurchase price will be determined on January 18, 2019 (the “Repurchase Pricing Date”). This may be higher or lower than the NAV on the date on which you return your Redemption Request Form.

5.       Payment for Shares Repurchased. The Fund will pay repurchase proceeds within seven (7) calendar days from the Repurchase Pricing Date. The Fund will not charge a repurchase fee.

6.       Withdrawal Charges. The Fund does not currently charge any contingent deferred sales charges or any special handling or processing fees for repurchases of shares. Your financial advisor or broker may charge a transaction fee in connection with submitting a repurchase request. Please check the Fund’s Prospectus and consult your financial advisor.

7.       No Redemption Fee. No redemption fees will apply if you sell your Shares pursuant to the Fund’s quarterly repurchase program.

8.       Increase in Number of Shares Repurchased; Pro Rata Purchase. If shareholders tender for repurchase more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of the Fund, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase up to an additional two percent (2%). If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, or if more than the Repurchase Offer Amount plus two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares on the Repurchase Request Deadline, then the Fund will repurchase shares on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares tendered by each shareholder. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to repurchase all shares that each shareholder has tendered, even if all the shares in a shareholder's account are tendered. In the event of an oversubscribed offer, the Fund may not be able to repurchase all the shares that you wish to tender and you may have to wait until the next quarterly repurchase offer to tender the remaining shares. Subsequent repurchase requests will not be given priority over other shareholder requests. You will be subject to NAV fluctuation during the period between quarterly redemption offers.

9.       Withdrawal or Modification. Tenders of shares may be withdrawn or modified at any time prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 18, 2019. If your shares are held for you by your broker-dealer, or for your retirement plan by your retirement plan trustee or otherwise by a nominee, please consult such person if you wish to modify or withdraw a repurchase request. Shares properly withdrawn shall not thereafter be deemed to be tendered for purposes of the Repurchase Offer. However, withdrawn shares may be retendered by following the procedures described herein prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline. For further information regarding modifications or withdrawals of tenders, you may call 1-855-601-3841 or contact your financial advisor.

 
 

10.       Suspension or Postponement of Repurchase Offer. The Fund may suspend or postpone this Repurchase Offer only by a vote of a majority of the members of the Board, including a majority of the independent Directors, and only in the following limited circumstances:

·If the repurchase of shares would cause the Fund to lose its status as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;
·If the repurchase would cause the shares that are the subject of the offer that are either listed on a national securities exchange or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a national securities association to be neither listed on any national securities exchange nor quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system of a national securities association;
·For any period during which the New York Stock Exchange or any other market in which the securities owned by the Fund are principally traded is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or during which such trading is restricted;
·For any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities it owns or to determine the Fund's NAV; and
·For any other periods that the Securities and Exchange Commission permits by order for the protection of shareholders.

 

If the Repurchase Offer is suspended or postponed, the Fund will provide notice of the suspension or postponement to each shareholder of the Fund. If the Fund renews the Repurchase Offer, the Fund will send a new notification to each shareholder with details concerning the terms and conditions of the renewed Repurchase Offer.

11.       Tax Consequences. You should review the tax information in the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information and consult your tax adviser regarding any specific consequences, including state and local tax consequences, of participating in the repurchase. Generally, any tender of shares to the Fund would be treated as a taxable event and any gain or loss would be treated as a capital gain or loss, either short or long term, depending on the length of time the shares have been held by the shareholder. Federal tax withholding could apply to the repurchase in certain circumstances, including situations where the tendering shareholder has not submitted a valid Form W-9 (for United States persons including resident alien individuals) or Form W-8 (for non-U.S. shareholders) to the Fund.

12.       Documents in Proper Form. All questions as to validity, form, eligibility (including time and receipt) and acceptance of tenders of shares will be determined by the Fund in its sole discretion. The determination by the Fund shall be final and binding. The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of shares (even if such tenders are determined to be in good and proper form) and to refuse to accept for payment, purchase, or to pay for any shares if, in the opinion of Fund's counsel, accepting, purchasing or paying for such shares would be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of this offer or any defect in any tender of shares, whether generally or with respect to any particular shares or shareholders. The Fund's interpretations of the terms and conditions of this offer shall be final and binding. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of shares must be corrected within such times as the Fund shall, in its absolute discretion, decide. Tenders of shares will not be deemed to have been made until any defects or irregularities have been corrected or waived.

None of the Fund, the Fund’s adviser, the Fund’s transfer agent, the Fund's distributor, or any other person or entity is or will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

None of the Fund, the Fund’s adviser, or the Fund's distributor is or will be obligated to ensure that your financial consultant, or any broker/dealer or any other third party through which your shares may be held or registered, submits to you this Repurchase Offer or submits your tender of shares to the Fund on your behalf.

Neither the Fund nor its Board of Directors makes any recommendation to any shareholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering shares. Each shareholder must make an independent decision as to whether or not to tender shares and, if so, how many shares to tender.

No person has been authorized to make any recommendation on behalf of the Fund as to whether shareholders should tender shares pursuant to this offer. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with this offer other than those contained herein, contained in the Fund's prospectus or statement of additional information, or contained in the related Repurchase Request Form. If given or made, such recommendation and such information and representation may not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Fund.

For additional information about this offer, contact your financial consultant.
