Item 1.SUMMARY TERM SHEET.

 

·Constitution Capital Access Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) is offering to purchase Shares (as defined below) in the Fund (the “Offer”) in an amount up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund (or approximately $30,294,876 or 2,672,754 Shares outstanding as of November 30, 2023) from shareholders of the Fund (the “Shareholders”) at their net asset value (that is, the value of the Fund’s total assets minus its total liabilities, including accrued fees and expenses, multiplied by the proportionate interest in the Fund a Shareholder desires to tender, after giving effect to all allocations), calculated as of the Valuation Date (as defined below). As used in this Schedule TO, the term “Share” or “Shares” refers to the shares of beneficial interest in the Fund or fractions thereof that constitute three of the classes offered by the Fund designated as Class A (“Class A Shares”), Class D (“Class D Shares”) and Class I (“Class I Shares”) that are tendered by Shareholders pursuant to the Offer, and includes all or some of a Shareholder’s Shares as the context requires. As of the close of business on November 30, 2023, there was approximately $11 (or 1 Share), $26,447 (or 2,336 Shares) and $605,871,063 (or 53,452,743 Shares) outstanding capital of the Fund held in Class A Shares, Class D Shares and Class I Shares, respectively. The net asset value per Class A Share, Class D Share and Class I Share as of the close of business on November 30, 2023 was $11.34, $11.32 and $11.34, respectively. Shareholders that desire to tender Shares for purchase must do so by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on January 31, 2024 (the “Initial Notice Due Date”), subject to any extension of the Offer made in the absolute discretion of the Fund’s Board of Managers. The later of the Initial Notice Due Date or the latest time and date that the Fund designates as the deadline and expiration date for Shareholders to tender Shares for purchase is called the “Notice Due Date,” and is the date upon which the Offer expires. The net asset value per Share will be calculated for this purpose as of February 29, 2024, or at a later date determined by the Fund if the Offer is extended (in each case, the “Valuation Date”).

 

·The Fund reserves the right to adjust the Valuation Date to correspond with any extension of the Offer. The Fund will review the net asset value calculation of the Shares during the Fund’s audit for the fiscal year ending on or after the Valuation Date and, as set forth below, may reserve up to 10% of the net asset value to be remitted following the completion of the audit, which the Fund expects will be completed within 60 days of the fiscal year-end, and that net asset value will be used to determine the final amount paid for tendered Shares. Since the Fund’s next fiscal year end after the Valuation Date is March 31, 2024, the Fund expects that the audit will be completed by the end of May 2024.

 

·A Shareholder may tender all of its Shares or some of its Shares. A 2.00% early repurchase fee may be charged by the Fund with respect to any repurchase of Shares from a Shareholder at any time prior to the day immediately preceding the one-year anniversary of the Shareholder’s purchase of the Shares. Shares tendered for repurchase will be treated as having been repurchased on a “first in-first out” basis. An early repurchase fee payable by a Shareholder may be waived by the Fund in circumstances where the Board determines that doing so is in the best interests of the Fund. To the extent the Fund determines to waive, impose scheduled variations of, or eliminate an early repurchase fee, it will do so consistently with the requirements of Rule 22d-1 under the Investment Company Act, and the Fund’s waiver of, scheduled variation in, or elimination of, the early repurchase fee will apply uniformly to all shareholders regardless of share class. A Shareholder who tenders some but not all of its Shares for repurchase will be required to maintain a minimum account balance of $10,000 worth of Shares. Such minimum ownership requirement may be waived by the Fund, in its sole discretion. Subject to certain requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, the Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased from a Shareholder so that the required account balance is maintained. See Item 4(a)(1)(ii).

 

2

 

 

·Shares tendered for repurchase will be treated as having been repurchased on a “first in — first out” basis. Therefore, Shares repurchased will be deemed to have been taken from the earliest purchase of Shares by such Shareholder (adjusted for subsequent net profits and net losses) until all such Shares have been repurchased, and then from each subsequent purchase of Shares by such Shareholder (adjusted for subsequent net profits and net losses) until such Shares are repurchased. 

 

·We will give to each Shareholder whose Shares have been accepted for repurchase a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) entitling the Shareholder to be paid an amount equal to the value, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above, of the repurchased Shares. The Promissory Notes will be held by UMB Fund Services, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “UMBFS”) on behalf of each such Shareholder. The determination of the value of Shares as of the Valuation Date is subject to adjustment based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which such Valuation Date occurred.

 

·The Promissory Note, which will be non-interest bearing and non-transferable, is expected to contain terms providing for, among other things, the following payments. The initial payment in respect of the Promissory Note (the “Initial Payment”) will be in an amount equal to at least 90% of the estimated aggregate value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above. The Initial Payment will be made within 65 days after the Notice Due Date.

 

·The second and final payment in respect of the Promissory Note (the “Final Payment”) is expected to be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which the Valuation Date of such repurchase occurred, over (ii) the Initial Payment. It is anticipated that the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund will be completed within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Fund and that the Final Payment will be paid in full no later than 5 business days following the completion of such audit.

 

·If a Shareholder, after giving effect to the repurchase, would continue to hold at least 5% of the aggregate value of its Shares as of the Valuation Date, the Final Payment in respect of such repurchase shall be made on or before the 60th day after the Repurchase Date. Such payment shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above, based upon information known to the Fund as of the date of the Final Payment, over (ii) the Initial Payment. If, based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which the Valuation Date of such repurchase occurred, it is determined that the value at which the Shares were repurchased was incorrect, the Fund shall decrease such Shareholder’s account balance by the amount of any overpayment and redeem for no additional consideration a number of Shares having a value equal to such amount, or increase such Shareholder’s account balance by the amount of any underpayment and issue for no additional consideration a number of Shares having an aggregate value equal to such amount, as applicable, in each case as promptly as practicable following the completion of such audits. See Item 4(a)(1)(ii).

 

·The Offer is being made to all Shareholders of the Fund and is not conditioned on any minimum number of Shares being tendered. If the Fund accepts the tender of the Shareholder’s Shares, the Fund will make payment for Shares it purchases from one or more of the following sources: cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of portfolio holdings, or borrowings. The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash. See Item 4(a)(1)(ii).

 

3

 

 

·Shareholders that desire to tender Shares for purchase must do so by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 31, 2024 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date), at which time the Offer is scheduled to expire. Until the Notice Due Date, Shareholders have the right to withdraw any tenders of their Shares. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before the Notice Due Date by following the tender procedures described herein. If the Fund has not yet accepted a Shareholder’s tender of Shares on or prior to February 29, 2024 (i.e., the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), a Shareholder will also have the right to withdraw its tender of its Shares until such date. See Item 4(a)(1)(vi).

 

·If a Shareholder would like the Fund to purchase all or some of its Shares, it should complete, sign and either (i) mail or otherwise deliver a Letter of Transmittal to Constitution Capital Access Fund, LLC, c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc. at 235 W. Galena Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53212, Attention: Tender Offer Administrator; or (ii) fax it to UMBFS at (816) 860-3140, Attention: Tender Offer Administrator, so that it is received before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 31, 2024. The value of the Shares may change between November 30, 2023 (the date as of which the net asset value information reported herein was calculated) and the Valuation Date, the date as of which the value of the Shares being purchased will be determined. See Item 2(b). Shareholders desiring to obtain the estimated net asset value of their Shares, which the Fund will calculate from time to time based upon the information the Fund receives from the portfolio managers of the investment funds in which it invests, may contact UMBFS, at (855) 551-2276 or at the address listed on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, Monday through Friday, except holidays, during normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

 

Please note that just as each Shareholder has the right to withdraw its tender prior to the Notice Due Date, the Fund has the right to cancel, amend or postpone the Offer at any time before the Notice Due Date. Also realize that although the Offer is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2024, a Shareholder that tenders all of its Shares will remain a Shareholder of the Fund through February 29, 2024, or a later date determined by the Fund if the Offer is extended (in each case, the "Repurchase Date"), notwithstanding the Fund’s acceptance of the Shareholder’s Shares for purchase.

Item 4.TERMS OF THE TENDER OFFER.

 

(a)        (i) Subject to the conditions set out in the Offer, the Fund will purchase Shares in an amount up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund that are tendered by Shareholders by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 31, 2024 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date) and not withdrawn as described in Item 4(a)(1)(vi).

 

(ii)       The value of the Shares tendered to the Fund for purchase will be the net asset value as of the close of business on February 29, 2024, or, if the Offer is extended, as of any later Valuation Date, after the reduction for all fees (including the early repurchase fee), any required tax withholding and other liabilities of the Fund to the extent accrued or otherwise attributable to the Shares being repurchased. See Item 4(a)(1)(v) below.

 

·A Shareholder may tender all or some of its Shares. A Shareholder who tenders some but not all of its Shares for repurchase will be required to maintain a minimum account balance of $10,000 worth of Shares. Such minimum ownership requirement may be waived by the Board, in its sole discretion. Subject to certain requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, the Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased from a Shareholder so that the required account balance is maintained. The Fund will give to each Shareholder whose Shares have been accepted for repurchase a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) entitling the Shareholder to be paid an amount equal to the value, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above, of the repurchased Shares. The Promissory Notes will be held by the Administrator on behalf of each such Shareholder. The determination of the value of Shares as of the Valuation Date is subject to adjustment based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which such Valuation Date occurred. The Promissory Note, which will be non-interest bearing and non-transferable, is expected to contain terms providing for, among other things, the following payments. The initial payment in respect of the Promissory Note (the “Initial Payment”) will be in an amount equal to at least 90% of the estimated aggregate value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above. The Initial Payment will be made within 65 days after the Initial Notice Due Date. The second and final payment in respect of the Promissory Note (the “Final Payment”) is expected to be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which the Valuation Date of such repurchase occurred, over (ii) the Initial Payment. It is anticipated that the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund will be completed within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Fund and that the Final Payment will be paid in full no later than 5 business days following the completion of such audit. If a Shareholder, after giving effect to the repurchase, would continue to hold at least 5% of the aggregate value of its Shares as of the Valuation Date, the Final Payment in respect of such repurchase shall be made on or before the 60th day after the Valuation Date. Such payment shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above, based upon information known to the Fund as of the date of the Final Payment, over (ii) the Initial Payment. If, based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which the Valuation Date of such repurchase occurred, it is determined that the value at which the Shares were repurchased was incorrect, the Fund shall decrease such Shareholder’s account balance by the amount of any overpayment and redeem for no additional consideration a number of Shares having a value equal to such amount, or increase such Shareholder’s account balance by the amount of any underpayment and issue for no additional consideration a number of Shares having an aggregate value equal to such amount, as applicable, in each case as promptly as practicable following the completion of such audits.

 

5

 

 

The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash.

 

(iii)      The Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 31, 2024. Shareholders that desire to tender Shares for purchase must do so by that time, unless the Offer is extended in the absolute discretion of the Board of Managers.

 

(iv)      Not applicable.

 

(v)       At the absolute discretion of the Board of Managers, the Fund reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the Offer is open by notifying Shareholders of such extension. If the Fund elects to extend the tender period, the net asset value of the Shares tendered for purchase will be determined at the close of business on a day determined by the Fund and notified to the Shareholders. During any such extension, all Shares previously tendered and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer. At the absolute discretion of the Board of Managers, the Fund also reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, up to and including the Notice Due Date, to: (a) cancel the Offer in the circumstances set out in Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase dated January 3, 2024, and, in the event of such cancellation, not to purchase or pay for any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; (b) amend the Offer; and (c) postpone the acceptance of Shares. If the Fund determines to amend the Offer or to postpone the acceptance of Shares tendered, it will, to the extent necessary, extend the period of time during which the Offer is open as provided above and will promptly notify the Shareholders.

 

(vi)       Until the Notice Due Date, Shareholders have the right to withdraw any tenders of their Shares. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, January 31, 2024 (or, if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date) by following the tender procedures described herein. Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(2)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a Shareholder whose written tender is not accepted by the Fund on or prior to February 29, 2024 (i.e., the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), will also have the right to withdraw its tender of its Shares until such date.

 

(vii)      Shareholders wishing to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer should send or deliver a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the address set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, or fax a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS, also to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the fax number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. The completed and executed Letter of Transmittal must be received by UMBFS, either by mail or by fax, no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 31, 2024 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date). The Fund recommends that all documents be submitted to UMBFS by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile transmission.

 

6

 

 

Any Shareholder tendering Shares pursuant to the Offer may withdraw its tender as described above in Item 4(a)(1)(vi). To be effective, any notice of withdrawal must be timely received by UMBFS at the address or fax number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. A tender of Shares properly withdrawn shall not thereafter be deemed to be tendered for purposes of the Offer. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before the Notice Due Date by following the tender procedures described above.

 

(viii)    For purposes of the Offer, the Fund will be deemed to have accepted (and thereby purchased) Shares that are tendered if and when it gives written notice to the tendering Shareholder of its election to purchase such Shares.

 

(ix)       If Shares in excess of 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund are duly tendered to the Fund prior to the Notice Due Date and not withdrawn prior to the Notice Due Date, the Fund will, in its sole discretion, either (a) accept the additional Shares permitted to be accepted pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(1)(ii) under the Exchange Act; (b) extend the Offer, if necessary, and increase the amount of Shares that the Fund is offering to repurchase to an amount it believes sufficient to accommodate the excess Shares tendered as well as any Shares tendered during the extended Offer; or (c) accept Shares tendered before the Notice Due Date and not withdrawn prior to the Notice Due Date for payment on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate net asset value of tendered Shares. The Offer may be extended, amended or canceled in various other circumstances described in Item 4(a)(1)(v) above.

 

(x)       The purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Fund of Shareholders that do not tender Shares. Shareholders that retain their Shares may be subject to increased risks that may possibly result from the reduction in the Fund’s aggregate assets resulting from payment for the Shares tendered. One such risk is that, due to a reduction in the aggregate assets of the Fund, Shareholders that do not tender Shares may bear higher costs to the extent that certain expenses borne by the Fund are relatively fixed and may not decrease if assets decline. These effects may be reduced or eliminated to the extent that additional subscriptions for Shares are made by new and existing Shareholders from time to time. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer could result in the Adviser being required to raise cash to accommodate the tender by liquidating portfolio holdings in the Fund earlier than the Adviser would otherwise have caused these holdings to be liquidated, potentially resulting in losses or increased operating expenses for the Fund.

 

(xi)       Not applicable.

 

(xii)      The following discussion is a general summary of the federal income tax consequences of the purchase of Shares by the Fund for cash pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers for a complete description of the tax consequences to them of a purchase of their Shares by the Fund pursuant to the Offer.

 

A Shareholder will generally recognize a taxable gain or loss on a sale of their Shares in an amount equal to the difference between their tax basis in the Shares and the amount they receive for them. Generally, this gain or loss will be long-term or short-term depending on whether the holding period exceeds twelve months. Additionally, any loss realized on a disposition of Shares of the Fund may be disallowed under “wash sale” rules to the extent the Shares disposed of are replaced with other Shares of the Fund within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the Shares are disposed of, such as pursuant to a dividend reinvestment in Shares of the Fund. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an upward adjustment to the basis of the Shares acquired.

 

7

 

 

Pursuant to the regulations directed at tax shelter activity, taxpayers are required to disclose to the Internal Revenue Service certain information on Form 8886 if they participate in a “reportable transaction.” A transaction may be a “reportable transaction” based upon any of several indicia with respect to a Shareholder, including the recognition of a loss in excess of certain thresholds (for individuals, $2 million in one year or $4 million in any combination of years). Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to their investment in Shares.

 

(2)       Not applicable.

 

(b)       Any Shares to be purchased from any officer, trustee or affiliate of the Fund will be on the same terms and conditions as any other purchase of Shares.

 

Item 5.PAST CONTRACTS, TRANSACTIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND AGREEMENTS.

 

The Fund’s registration statement on Form N-2, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2022 (as it may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), which was provided to each Shareholder in advance of subscribing for Shares, and the Limited Liability Company Agreement provide that the Board of Managers has the discretion to determine whether the Fund will purchase Shares from Shareholders from time to time pursuant to written tenders. The Registration Statement also states that the Adviser anticipates recommending to the Fund’s Board of Managers that the Fund offer to repurchase interests from its Shareholders quarterly each year. The Fund commenced operations immediately following the close of business on September 30, 2022 and previously offered to purchase Shares from Shareholders pursuant to written tenders on a quarterly basis beginning in the first quarter of 2023.

 

The Adviser has agreed, subject to its fiduciary responsibilities and other applicable law, to recommend to the Fund’s Board of Managers that the Fund effectuate quarterly tender offers consistent with and subject to the terms of the Fund’s current Registration Statement. L8 Investment Holdings LP has informed the Adviser that, consistent with and subject to its undertakings disclosed as part of its Schedule D, it currently intends to tender 5% of its Class I Shares in this Offer.

 

Other than as set forth above, the Fund is not aware of any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship relating, directly or indirectly, to the Offer (whether or not legally enforceable) between: (i) the Fund, the Adviser or members of the Board of Managers or any person controlling the Fund, the Adviser or the Board of Managers; and (ii) any other person, with respect to the Shares.

 

Item 6.PURPOSES OF THIS TENDER OFFER AND PLANS OR PROPOSALS.

 

(a)       The purpose of the Offer is to provide liquidity to Shareholders that hold Shares, as contemplated by and in accordance with the procedures set out in the Registration Statement and the Limited Liability Company Agreement.

 

(b)       Shares that are tendered to the Fund in connection with the Offer, if accepted for repurchase, will be repurchased, resulting in an increase in the expense ratios of remaining Shares in the Fund (assuming no further issuances of Shares).

OFFER TO PURCHASE SHARES
DATED JANUARY 3, 2024

 

LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL MUST BE
RECEIVED BY UMB FUND SERVICES, INC.

BY JANUARY 31, 2024.

 

THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT
11:59 P.M., EASTERN TIME, ON JANUARY 31, 2024,
UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED

 

To the Shareholders of Constitution Capital Access Fund, LLC:

 

Constitution Capital Access Fund, LLC, a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company organized as a Delaware limited liability company (the “Fund”), is offering to purchase for cash on the terms and conditions set out in this offer to purchase (this “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with this Offer to Purchase, constitutes the “Offer”) an amount of Shares (as defined below), including fractions thereof, with an aggregate net asset value up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund. The Fund’s investment objective is to generate long-term capital appreciation. The Adviser of the Fund is Constitution Capital PM, LP. The Offer is being made pursuant to tenders by shareholders of the Fund (“Shareholders”) at a price equal to the net asset value of the tendered Shares as of February 29, 2024 (or at a later date determined by the Fund if the Offer is extended) (in each case, the “Valuation Date”), less any early repurchase fee. As used in the Offer, the term “Share” or “Shares” refers to the shares of beneficial interests in the Fund representing beneficial Shares in the Fund and includes all or any portion of a Shareholder’s Shares, including fractions thereof, as the context requires, that constitute three of the classes offered by the Fund designated as Class A, Class D and Class I that are tendered by Shareholders pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders that desire to tender Shares for purchase must do so by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on January 31, 2024 (the “Initial Notice Due Date”), subject to any extension of the Offer made in the absolute discretion of the Fund’s Board of Managers. The later of the Initial Notice Due Date or the latest time and date that the Fund designates as the deadline for Shareholders to tender Shares for purchase is called the “Notice Due Date” and is the date upon which the Offer expires. If the Fund elects to extend the tender period, the net asset value of the Shares tendered for purchase will be determined at the close of business on a day determined by the Fund and notified to the Shareholders. The Offer is being made to all Shareholders and is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Shares being tendered, but is subject to certain conditions described below. Shares are not traded on any established trading market and are subject to strict restrictions on transferability pursuant to the Fund’s limited liability agreement dated August 4, 2022 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Limited Liability Company Agreement”).

 

 

 

 

Shareholders should realize that the value of the Shares tendered in the Offer likely will change between November 30, 2023 (the date as of which the net asset value information reported herein was calculated) and the Valuation Date when the value of the Shares tendered to the Fund for purchase will be determined. In addition, shareholders that tender all or a portion of their Shares prior to holding such Shares for at least one year may be subject to an early repurchase fee due to the Fund equal to 2.00% of the amount requested to be purchased, to be netted against withdrawal proceeds. In determining whether the repurchase of Shares is subject to an early repurchase fee, the Fund will repurchase those Shares held the longest first. Shareholders tendering their Shares should also note that they will remain Shareholders in the Fund, with respect to the Shares tendered and accepted for purchase by the Fund, through February 29, 2024, or a later date determined by the Fund if the Offer is extended (in each case, the “Repurchase Date”). Any tendering Shareholders that wish to obtain the estimated net asset value of their Shares should contact the Tender Offer Administrator at UMB Fund Services, Inc., the Fund’s Administrator, at (855) 551-2276 or at Constitution Capital Access Fund, LLC, c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc. at 235 W. Galena Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53212, Attention: Tender Offer Administrator, Monday through Friday, except holidays, during normal business hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

 

Shareholders desiring to tender all or some of their Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer should complete and sign the enclosed Letter of Transmittal and send or deliver it to UMB Fund Services, Inc. in the manner set out below.

 

Important

 

None of the Fund, the Adviser or the Fund’s Board of Managers makes any recommendation to any Shareholder whether to tender or refrain from tendering Shares. Shareholders must make their own decisions whether to tender Shares, and, if they choose to do so, the amount of their Shares to tender.

 

Because each Shareholder’s investment decision is a personal one, based on financial circumstances, no person has been authorized to make any recommendation on behalf of the Fund as to whether Shareholders should tender Shares pursuant to the Offer. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with the Offer other than those contained herein or in the Letter of Transmittal. If given or made, such recommendation and such information and representations must not be relied on as having been authorized by the Fund, the Adviser, or the Fund’s Board of Managers.

 

This transaction has not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission passed on the fairness or merits of such transaction or on the accuracy or adequacy of the information contained in this document. Any representation to the contrary is unlawful.

1.SUMMARY TERM SHEET

 

This Summary Term Sheet highlights certain information concerning the Offer. To understand the Offer fully and for a more complete discussion of the terms and conditions of the Offer, please read carefully this entire Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. Section references are to this Offer to Purchase.

 

·The Fund (referred to as “we”, “us” or the “Fund” in this Summary Term Sheet) is offering to purchase Shares in an amount up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund (or approximately $30,294,876 or 2,672,754 Shares outstanding as of November 30, 2023). We will purchase your Shares at their net asset value (that is, the value of the Fund’s total assets minus its total liabilities, including accrued fees and expenses, multiplied by the proportionate number of Shares in the Fund you desire to tender, after giving effect to all allocations) calculated as of the Valuation Date. The net asset value of Shares will be calculated for this purpose as of February 29, 2024 or, if the Offer is extended, as of any later Valuation Date. The Offer will remain open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 31, 2024 (or if the Offer is extended, until any later Notice Due Date), at which time the Offer is scheduled to expire.

 

·The Fund reserves the right to adjust the Valuation Date to correspond with any extension of the Offer. The Fund will review the net asset value calculation of the Shares during the Fund’s audit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2024 and, as set forth below, may reserve up to 10% of the net asset value of Shares purchased to be remitted following the completion of the audit, which the Fund expects will be completed within 60 days of the fiscal year-end, and that net asset value will be used to determine the final amount paid for tendered Shares. Because the Fund’s next fiscal year end after the Valuation Date is March 31, 2024, the Fund expects that the audit will be completed by the end of May 2024.

 

·A Shareholder may tender all or some of its Shares. A Shareholder who tenders some but not all of its Shares for repurchase will be required to maintain a minimum account balance of $10,000 worth of Shares. Such minimum ownership requirement may be waived by the Board, in its sole discretion. Subject to certain requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, the Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased from a Shareholder so that the required account balance is maintained. See Section 4.

 

·We will give to each Shareholder whose Shares have been accepted for repurchase a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) entitling the Shareholder to be paid an amount equal to the value, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above, of the repurchased Shares. The Promissory Notes will be held by the Administrator on behalf of each such Shareholder. The determination of the value of Shares as of the Valuation Date is subject to adjustment based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which such Valuation Date occurred. See Section 7.

 

·The Promissory Note, which will be non-interest bearing and non-transferable, is expected to contain terms providing for, among other things, the following payments. The initial payment in respect of the Promissory Note (the “Initial Payment”) will be in an amount equal to at least 90% of the estimated aggregate value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above. The Initial Payment will be made within 65 days after the Notice Due Date. See Section 7.

 

·The second and final payment in respect of the Promissory Note (the “Final Payment”) is expected to be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which the Valuation Date of such repurchase occurred, over (ii) the Initial Payment. It is anticipated that the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund will be completed within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Fund and that the Final Payment will be paid in full no later than 5 business days following the completion of such audit. See Section 7.

 

 

 

 

·If a Shareholder, after giving effect to the repurchase, would continue to hold at least 5% of the aggregate value of its Shares as of the Valuation Date, the Final Payment in respect of such repurchase shall be made on or before the 60th day after the Repurchase Date. Such payment shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above, based upon information known to the Fund as of the date of the Final Payment, over (ii) the Initial Payment. If, based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which the Valuation Date of such repurchase occurred, it is determined that the value at which the Shares were repurchased was incorrect, the Fund shall decrease such Shareholder’s account balance by the amount of any overpayment and redeem for no additional consideration a number of Shares having a value equal to such amount, or increase such Shareholder’s account balance by the amount of any underpayment and issue for no additional consideration a number of Shares having an aggregate value equal to such amount, as applicable, in each case as promptly as practicable following the completion of such audits. See Section 7.

 

·If we accept the tender of your Shares, we will pay you the proceeds from one or more of the following sources: cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of portfolio holdings or borrowings. The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash. See Section 7.

 

·If you desire to tender Shares for purchase, you must do so by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 31, 2024 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date), at which time the Offer is scheduled to expire. Until that time, you have the right to change your mind and withdraw any tenders of your Shares. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before the Notice Due Date by following the tender procedures described herein. If the Fund has not yet accepted your tender of Shares on or prior to February 29, 2024 (i.e., the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), you will also have the right to withdraw the tender of your Shares until such date. See Section 6.

 

·If you would like us to purchase your Shares, you should complete, sign and either (i) mail or otherwise deliver the Letter of Transmittal, enclosed with the Offer, to Constitution Capital Access Fund, LLC, c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc. at 235 W. Galena Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53212, Attention: Tender Offer Administrator; or (ii) fax it to UMBFS at (816) 860-3140, Attention: Tender Offer Administrator, so that it is received before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 31, 2024. The value of your Shares may change between November 30, 2023 (the date as of which the net asset value information reported herein was calculated) and the Valuation Date when the value of the Shares being purchased will be determined. See Section 3.

 

·As of November 30, 2023, there was approximately $11 (or 1 Share), $26,447 (or 2,336 Shares) and $605,871,063 (or 53,452,473 Shares) outstanding capital of the Fund held in Class A Shares, Class D Shares and Class I Shares, respectively. The net asset value per Class A Share, Class D Share and Class I Share as of the close of business on November 30, 2023 was $11.34, $11.32 and $11.34, respectively. If you would like to obtain the estimated net asset value of your Shares, which we calculate from time to time, based upon the information we receive from the managers of the investment funds in which we invest, you may contact the Tender Offer Administrator at UMBFS at (855) 551-2276 or at the address listed on the cover page of the Letter of Transmittal, Monday through Friday, except holidays, during normal business hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). See Section 3.

2.BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE OFFER.

 

The purpose of the Offer is to provide liquidity to the Shareholders that hold Shares in the Fund, as contemplated by and in accordance with the procedures set out in the Fund’s registration statement on Form N-2 (as it may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) and the Limited Liability Company Agreement. The Registration Statement and the Limited Liability Company Agreement provide that the Board of Managers of the Fund (the “Board of Managers”) has the discretion to determine whether the Fund will purchase Shares from time to time from Shareholders pursuant to written tenders. The Registration Statement also states that the Adviser anticipates recommending to the Fund’s Board of Managers that the Fund offer to repurchase interests from its Shareholders quarterly each year. The Fund commenced operations immediately following the close of business on September 30, 2022 and has previously offered to purchase Shares from Shareholders pursuant to written tenders on a quarterly basis beginning in the first quarter of 2023.

 

Because there is no secondary trading market for Shares and transfers of Shares are prohibited without prior approval of the Adviser, the Board of Managers has determined to cause the Fund to make the Offer, after consideration of various matters, including but not limited to those set out in the Registration Statement and the Limited Liability Company Agreement. While the Adviser intends to recommend to the Fund’s Board of Managers that the Fund offer to repurchase interests in the Fund on a quarterly basis each year, the Fund’s Board of Managers is under no obligation to follow such recommendations.

 

The purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Fund of Shareholders that do not tender Shares. Shareholders that retain their Shares may be subject to increased risks due to the reduction in the Fund’s aggregate assets resulting from payment for the Shares tendered. One such risk is that, due to a reduction in the aggregate assets of the Fund, Shareholders that do not tender Shares may bear higher costs to the extent that certain expenses borne by the Fund are relatively fixed and may not decrease if assets decline. These effects may be reduced or eliminated to the extent that additional subscriptions for Shares are made by new and existing Shareholders from time to time. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer could result in the Adviser being required to raise cash to accommodate the tender by liquidating portfolio holdings in the Fund earlier than the Adviser would otherwise have caused these holdings to be liquidated, potentially resulting in losses or increased operating expenses for the Fund.

 

Shares that are tendered to the Fund in connection with the Offer will be retired, although the Fund may issue Shares from time to time in accordance with the Registration Statement. The Fund currently expects that it will accept subscriptions for Shares as of the first day of each month, but is under no obligation to do so, and may do so more frequently as determined by the Board of Managers.

 

The tender of Shares by a Shareholder will not affect the record ownership of such Shareholder for purposes of voting or entitlement to any distributions payable by the Fund unless and until such Shares are purchased. You should also realize that although the Offer is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2024 (unless it is extended), you remain a Shareholder of the Fund with respect to the Shares you tendered that are accepted for purchase by the Fund through the Repurchase Date.

 

3.OFFER TO PURCHASE AND PRICE.

 

The Fund will, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, purchase an amount of Shares up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund that are tendered by Shareholders by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 31, 2024 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date), and not withdrawn (as provided in Section 6 below) prior to the Notice Due Date. The Fund reserves the right to extend, amend or cancel the Offer as described in Sections 4 and 8 below. The value of the Shares tendered for purchase will be their value as of February 29, 2024 or, if the Offer is extended, as of any later Valuation Date, payable as set out in Section 7. The determination of the value of Shares as of the Valuation Date is subject to adjustment based upon the results of the next annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements.

4.AMOUNT OF TENDER.

 

Subject to the limitations set out below, a Shareholder may tender all or some of its Shares. Shareholders that tender all or a portion of their Shares prior to holding such Shares for at least one year may be subject to an early repurchase fee due to the Fund equal to 2.00% of the amount requested to be purchased, to be netted against withdrawal proceeds. In determining whether the repurchase of Shares is subject to an early repurchase fee, the Fund will repurchase those Shares held the longest first. To the extent the Fund determines to waive, impose scheduled variations of, or eliminate an early repurchase fee, it will do so consistently with the requirements of Rule 22d-1 under the Investment Company Act, and the Fund’s waiver of, scheduled variation in, or elimination of, the early repurchase fee will apply uniformly to all shareholders regardless of share class. If a Shareholder tenders some of its Shares in an amount that would cause the remaining Shares to have a net asset value of less than $10,000, Subject to certain requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, the Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased from a Shareholder so that the required account balance is maintained. or to repurchase the remainder of the Shareholder’s Shares in the Fund. The Offer is being made to all Shareholders of the Fund and is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Shares being tendered.

 

If the amount of Shares that are properly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn pursuant to Section 6 below is less than or equal to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund, the Fund will, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, purchase all of the Shares so tendered unless the Fund elects to cancel or amend the Offer, or postpone acceptance of tenders made pursuant to the Offer, as provided in Section 8 below. If Shares in excess of 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund are duly tendered to the Fund prior to the Notice Due Date and not withdrawn prior to the Notice Due Date pursuant to Section 6 below, the Fund will , in its sole discretion, either (a) accept the additional Shares permitted to be accepted pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(1)(ii) under the Exchange Act; (b) extend the Offer, if necessary, and increase the amount of Shares that the Fund is offering to repurchase to an amount it believes sufficient to accommodate the excess Shares tendered as well as any Shares tendered during the extended Offer; or (c) accept Shares tendered prior to the Notice Due Date and not withdrawn prior to the Notice Due Date for payment on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate net asset value of tendered Shares. The Offer may be extended, amended or canceled in other circumstances described in Section 8 below.

 

5.PROCEDURE FOR TENDERS.

 

Shareholders wishing to tender Shares pursuant to this Offer to Purchase should send or deliver by January 31, 2024 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date) a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS, to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the address set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, or fax a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS, also to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the fax number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. The completed and executed Letter of Transmittal must be received by UMBFS, either by mail or by fax, no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 31, 2024 (or if the Offer is extended, no later than any later Notice Due Date).

The Fund recommends that all documents be submitted to UMBFS via certified mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile transmission. Shareholders wishing to confirm receipt of a Letter of Transmittal may contact UMBFS at the address or telephone number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. The method of delivery of any documents is at the election and complete risk of the Shareholder tendering Shares, including, but not limited to, the failure of UMBFS to receive any Letter of Transmittal or other document submitted by facsimile transmission. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of tenders will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding. The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders determined by it not to be in appropriate form or the acceptance of or payment for which would, in the opinion of counsel for the Fund, be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect in any tender with respect to any particular Shares or any particular Shareholder, and the Fund’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer will be final and binding. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured within such time as the Fund will determine. Tenders will not be deemed to have been made until the defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. None of the Fund, the Adviser or the Board of Managers will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor will any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notice.

 

6.WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.

 

Until the Notice Due Date, Shareholders have the right to withdraw any tenders of their Shares. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before the Notice Due Date by following the tender procedures described in Section 5. Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(2)(ii) of the Exchange Act, a Shareholder whose written tender is not accepted by the Fund on or prior to February 29, 2024 (i.e., the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), will also have the right to withdraw its tender of Shares until such date. To be effective, any notice of withdrawal must be timely received by UMBFS at the address or fax number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding. A tender of Shares properly withdrawn will not thereafter be deemed to be tendered for purposes of the Offer.

 

7.PURCHASES AND PAYMENT.

 

For purposes of the Offer, the Fund will be deemed to have accepted Shares that are tendered if and when it gives written notice to the tendering Shareholder of its election to purchase such Shares. As stated in Section 3 above, the amount offered for the Shares tendered by Shareholders will be the value thereof as of February 29, 2024, or if the Offer is extended, as of any later Valuation Date. The value will be determined after all allocations to capital accounts of the Shareholders required to be made by the Registration Statement and the Limited Liability Company Agreement have been made. The Fund will not pay interest on the purchase amount.

 

For Shareholders that tender Shares that are accepted for purchase, payment of the purchase amount will consist of the Promissory Note, a non-interest-bearing, non-transferable promissory note. The Promissory Note will entitle the Shareholder to receive the Initial Payment in an amount equal to at least 90% of the unaudited net asset value of the Shares tendered and accepted for purchase by the Fund, determined as of the Valuation Date. The Promissory Note will also entitle the tendering Shareholder to receive a contingent payment (the “Final Payment”) equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the aggregated value of the repurchased Shares as of the Valuation Date (as it may be adjusted based upon the next annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements), over (2) the Initial Payment. The Final Payment will be payable in full no later than 5 business days following the completion of the Fund’s next annual audit. It is anticipated that the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements will be completed no later than 60 days after the fiscal year-end of the Fund.

 

The Promissory Note pursuant to which a tendering Shareholder will receive the Initial Payment and, if applicable, Final Payment (together, the “Cash Payment”) will be held by UMBFS on behalf of the tendering Shareholder. Upon a written request by a Shareholder to UMBFS, UMBFS will mail the Promissory Note to the Shareholder at the address of the Shareholder as maintained in the books and records of the Fund. Any Cash Payment due pursuant to the Promissory Note will be made by wire transfer directly to the tendering Shareholder to an account designated by the Shareholder in the Letter of Transmittal.

 

5

 

 

If a Shareholder, after giving effect to the repurchase, would continue to hold at least 5% of the aggregate value of its Shares as of the Valuation Date, the Final Payment in respect of such repurchase shall be made on or before the 60th day after the Repurchase Date. Such payment shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above, based upon information known to the Fund as of the date of the Final Payment, over (ii) the Initial Payment. If, based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which the Valuation Date of such repurchase occurred, it is determined that the value at which the Shares were repurchased was incorrect, the Fund shall decrease such Shareholder’s account balance by the amount of any overpayment and redeem for no additional consideration a number of Shares having a value equal to such amount, or increase such Shareholder’s account balance by the amount of any underpayment and issue for no additional consideration a number of Shares having an aggregate value equal to such amount, as applicable, in each case as promptly as practicable following the completion of such audits.

 

The Fund will make payment for Shares it purchases pursuant to the Offer from one or more of the following sources: cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of portfolio holdings, or borrowings. Upon its acceptance of tendered Shares for repurchase, the Fund will maintain daily, as an entry on its books, a distinct account consisting of cash, liquid securities or, to the extent applicable, interests in investment funds that the Fund (i) has requested to be withdrawn or (ii) is in the process of liquidating (or any combination of them), in an amount equal to the aggregate estimated unpaid dollar amount of any Promissory Note, as described above. None of the Fund, the Board of Managers, or the Adviser have determined at this time to borrow funds to purchase Shares tendered in connection with the Offer. However, depending on the dollar amount of Shares tendered and prevailing general economic and market conditions, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may decide to fund any portion of the amount offered for the purchase of Shares, subject to compliance with applicable law, through borrowings. The Fund expects that the repayment of any amounts so borrowed will be financed from additional funds contributed to the Fund by existing and/or new Shareholders.

 

The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash.

 

8.CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.

 

In the absolute discretion of the Board of Managers, the Fund reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the Offer is pending by notifying Managers of such extension. In the event that the Fund elects to extend the tender period, the net asset value of the Shares tendered for purchase will be determined as of the later Valuation Date. During any such extension, all Shares previously tendered and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer. The Fund also reserves the right at any time and from time to time up to and including acceptance of tenders pursuant to the Offer: (a) to cancel the Offer in the circumstances set out in the following paragraph and in the event of such cancellation not to purchase or pay for any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; (b) to amend the Offer; and (c) to postpone the acceptance of Shares. If the Fund determines to amend the Offer or to postpone the acceptance of Shares tendered, it will, to the extent necessary, extend the period of time during which the Offer is open as provided above and will promptly notify Shareholders.

 

The Fund may cancel the Offer, amend the Offer or postpone the acceptance of tenders made pursuant to the Offer if: (a) the Fund would not be able to liquidate portfolio securities in a manner that is orderly and consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies in order to purchase Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; (b) there is, in the judgment of the Board of Managers, any (i) legal action or proceeding instituted or threatened challenging the Offer or otherwise materially adversely affecting the Fund, (ii) declaration of a banking moratorium by federal or state authorities or any suspension of payment by banks in the United States or New York State that is material to the Fund, (iii) limitation imposed by federal or state authorities on the extension of credit by lending institutions, (iv) suspension of trading on any organized exchange or over-the-counter market where the Fund has a material investment, (v) commencement of war, armed hostilities or other international or national calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States that is material to the Fund, (vi) material decrease in the net asset value of the Fund from the net asset value of the Fund as of the commencement of the Offer, or (vii) other event or condition that would have a material adverse effect on the Fund or its Shareholders if Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer were purchased; (c) the Board of Managers determines that it is not in the best interest of the Fund to purchase Shares pursuant to the Offer; or (d) for any other periods that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits by order for the protection of Shareholders.

10.CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.

 

The following discussion is a general summary of the federal income tax consequences of the purchase of Shares by the Fund for cash pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers for a complete description of the tax consequences to them of a purchase of their Shares by the Fund pursuant to the Offer.

 

A Shareholder will generally recognize a taxable gain or loss on a sale of their Shares in an amount equal to the difference between their tax basis in the Shares and the amount they receive for them. Generally, this gain or loss will be long-term or short-term depending on whether the holding period exceeds twelve months. Additionally, any loss realized on a disposition of Shares of the Fund may be disallowed under “wash sale” rules to the extent the Shares disposed of are replaced with other shares of the Fund within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the Shares are disposed of, such as pursuant to a dividend reinvestment in Shares of the Fund. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an upward adjustment to the basis of the Shares acquired.

 

Pursuant to the regulations directed at tax shelter activity, taxpayers are required to disclose to the Internal Revenue Service certain information on Form 8886 if they participate in a “reportable transaction.” A transaction may be a “reportable transaction” based upon any of several indicia with respect to a shareholder, including the recognition of a loss in excess of certain thresholds (for individuals, $2 million in one year or $4 million in any combination of years). Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to their investment in Shares.

 

11.MISCELLANEOUS.

 

The Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from, Shareholders in any jurisdiction in which the Offer or its acceptance would not comply with the securities or other laws of such jurisdiction. The Fund is not aware of any jurisdiction in which the Offer or tenders pursuant thereto would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction. However, the Fund reserves the right to exclude Shareholders from the Offer in any jurisdiction in which it is asserted that the Offer cannot lawfully be made. The Fund believes such exclusion is permissible under applicable laws and regulations, provided the Fund makes a good faith effort to comply with any state law deemed applicable to the Offer.

 

The Fund has filed an Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the SEC, which includes certain information relating to the Offer. A free copy of such statement may be obtained by contacting UMBFS at the address and telephone number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal or from the SEC’s internet website, sec.gov.

The undersigned hereby sells to the Fund the Shares tendered pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned warrants that it has full authority to sell the Shares tendered hereby and that the Fund will acquire good title to the Shares, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to this sale, and not subject to any adverse claim, when and to the extent the Shares are purchased by the Fund. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and deliver any additional documents necessary to complete the sale in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

 

The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set out in the Offer, the Fund may not be required to purchase the Shares tendered hereby.

Any Final Payment of cash due pursuant to the Promissory Note will also be made by wire transfer of the funds to the undersigned’s account as provided herein. The undersigned recognizes that the amount of the initial payment of the purchase amount for Shares will be based on the unaudited value of the Fund as of February 29, 2024, subject to an extension of the Offer as described in Section 8 of the Offer and less any early repurchase fee relating to such Shares. The Final Payment will be payable in full no later than 5 business days following the completion of the Fund’s next annual audit. It is anticipated that the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements will be completed no later than 60 days after the fiscal year-end of the Fund.

 

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal will survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and the obligation of the undersigned hereunder will be binding on the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

FORMS OF LETTERS FROM THE FUND TO SHAREHOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS OF TENDER

 

______ __, 20__

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

Constitution Capital Access Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) has received and accepted for purchase your tender of all or some of your shares of beneficial interest in the Fund (your “Shares”).

 

Because you have tendered and the Fund has purchased all or some of your Shares, you have been issued a note (the “Promissory Note”) entitling you to receive an initial payment in an amount equal to at least 90% of the value of the purchased Shares based on the unaudited value of the Fund as of February 29, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the tender offer. A cash payment in this amount will be wire transferred to the account designated by you in your Letter of Transmittal within 65 days after the Notice Due Date, unless the repurchase date of the Shares in the Fund has changed; provided that, if you tendered only a portion of your Shares, and the remaining portion of your Shares would be less than the required minimum account balance of $10,000, the Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased from a Shareholder so that the required capital balance is maintained in accordance with the terms of the tender offer. Such minimum ownership requirement may be waived by the Board, in its sole discretion. The Promissory Note will be held by UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”) on your behalf. Upon a written request by you to UMBFS, UMBFS will mail the Promissory Note to you at the address for you as maintained in the books and records of the Fund.

 

The terms of the Promissory Note provide that a final payment representing the balance of the purchase amount, if any, will be paid to you in full no later than 5 business days following the completion of the Fund’s next annual audit according to the terms of the tender offer. We expect that the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements will be completed by the end of May 2024.

 

If you are tendering only a portion of your account, you remain a Shareholder of the Fund with respect to the portion of the Shares that you did not tender.

 

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Tender Offer Administrator at UMB Fund Services, Inc. at (855) 551-2276.

 

Sincerely,

 

Constitution Capital Access Fund, LLC
