URGENT: What’s at stake

 

What am I being asked to approve?

 

•   You’re being asked to approve proposals related to the mergers of FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II into FSIC II as part of a three-step process that is planned to result in a public listing of a single fund on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

Which proposals are critical to ensure these three steps occur?

 

•  Your votes FOR proposals 1–5 are needed to ensure the timely closing of the mergers in the fourth quarter of this year, as well as the recapitalization and listing of the combined company’s stock on the NYSE by the end of March 2020.*

 

•   If a shareholder votes FOR the merger as outlined in proposal 1, but abstains or votes against proposal 3, 4 or 5, the shareholder is effectively voting against the mergers.

 

•   NOTE: Your vote FOR proposal 5 will NOT impact the dividends you receive from the fund.

*Subject to market conditions and board approval
