ITEMS 1 THROUGH 9 AND ITEM 11
This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Statement”) initially filed by DTF Tax-Free Income Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Fund”), on December 8, 2020, relating to the Fund’s offer to purchase for cash up to 17.5% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price per share equal to 98% of the Fund’s net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on January 8, 2021 (or if the Offer is extended, on the next trading day after the day to which the Offer is extended), upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase, dated December 8, 2020 and the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which were previously filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) to the Statement filed on December 8, 2020.
Filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(5)(ii) and incorporated by reference is a copy of the press release issued by the Fund dated January 8, 2021, announcing the preliminary results of its Offer.
ITEM 10. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(a) The information in the Offer to Purchase in Section 9 (“Selected Financial Information”) is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Not applicable.
This is the Amendment No. 1 to the Statement and is being filed to report the results of the Offer. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.
The following information is furnished pursuant to Rule 13e-4(c)(3):
1. The Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on January 7, 2021.
2. Approximately 4,335,961 Shares of the Fund were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. Because the Offer was oversubscribed, the Fund expects to purchase a pro rata portion of Shares tendered by each stockholder.
Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Statement, as amended, and the Letter of Transmittal remains unchanged and this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Statement, as amended, or the Letter of Transmittal.
