LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces an investigation of Magnite, Inc. (“Magnite” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MGNI) on behalf of investors concerning the Company’s possible violations of federal securities laws.

If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

On January 7, 2021, Spruce Point Capital Management published a research report alleging that the Company’s “investors are being misguided by Magnite’s growth prospects and see 25%-50% downside” and that Magnite “continued to mask challenges with inaccurate financial reporting.” The report further stated that “evidence shows Magnite is running two separate businesses, yet only reporting one operating segment, allowing it to bury clarity into its struggles.”

On this news, Magnite’s stock price fell $1.70 per share, or 6%, to close at $25.61 per share on January 7, 2021, thereby injuring investors.

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (TPZ) Declares Monthly Distribution and Tortoise Essential Assets Income Term Fund (TEAF) Provides Update on Direct Investments and Portfolio Allocation

LEAWOOD, KS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

In addition, on a monthly basis, details on each private deal that has taken place over the prior month will be published here. The list includes all deals completed since the fund’s inception through December 31, 2020.

You should not draw any conclusions about TPZ’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of TPZ’s distribution policy.

TPZ estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may be return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in TPZ is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect TPZ’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”

TPZ will report the sources for its distributions at the time of the payment in the applicable Section 19(a) Notice. The amounts and sources of distributions TPZ reports are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon TPZ’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. TPZ will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Source Capital, Inc. Declares Monthly Distribution on Common Stock

Source Capital, Inc. Declares Monthly Distribution on Common Stock

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Board of Directors of Source Capital, Inc. (NYSE: SOR) (the “Fund”), today declared a regular monthly distribution of 8.3 cents a common share, payable January 29, 2021, to shareholders of record as of the close of business January 19, 2021. Consistent with the press release dated October 13, 2020, the Fund will pay out monthly distributions from this point forward.

Source Capital, Inc. is a closed-end investment company managed by First Pacific Advisors, LP.

Distributions may include ordinary income, net capital gains and/or returns of capital. Generally, a return of capital would occur when the amount distributed by the Fund includes a portion of (or is comprised entirely of) your investment in the Fund in addition to (or rather than) your pro-rata portion of the Fund’s net income or capital gains. The Fund’s distributions in any period may be more or less than the net return earned by the Fund on its investments, and therefore should not be used as a measure of performance or confused with “yield” or “income.” A return of capital is not taxable; rather it reduces a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. If the Fund estimates that a portion of its distribution may be comprised of amounts from sources other than net investment income, the Fund will notify shareholders of the estimated composition of such distribution through a separate written Section 19 notice. Such notices are provided for informational purposes only, and should not be used for tax reporting purposes. Final tax characteristics of all Fund distributions will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed after the close of the calendar year.

It is important to note that differences exist between the Fund’s daily internal accounting records and practices, the Fund’s financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and recordkeeping practices under income tax regulations. Please see the Fund’s most recent shareholder reports for more detailed tax information.

The Fund’s distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in realized and projected market returns, Fund performance, and other factors. There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in the Fund’s distribution rate at a future time.

As with any stock, the price of the Fund’s common shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. Shares of closed-end management investment companies frequently trade at a price that is less than (a “discount”) or more than (a “premium”) their net asset value. If the Fund’s shares trade at a premium to net asset value, there is no assurance that any such premium will be sustained for any period of time and will not decrease, or that the shares will not trade at a discount to net asset value thereafter.

The Fund’s daily New York Stock Exchange closing market prices, net asset values per share, as well as other information, including updated portfolio statistics and performance are available by visiting the website at https://fpa.com/funds/overview/source-capital, by email at [email protected], toll free by calling 1-800-279-1241 (option 1), or by contacting the Fund in writing.

About Source Capital, Inc.

The Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company seeking maximum total return for shareholders from both capital appreciation and investment income to the extent consistent with protection of invested capital. Its shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SOR.” The Fund is managed by First Pacific Advisors, LP.

You should consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before you invest. You can obtain additional information by visiting the website at www.fpa.com, by email at [email protected], toll free by calling 1-800-279-1241 (option 1), or by contacting the Fund in writing.

Investments, including investments in closed-end funds, carry risks and investors may lose principal value. Capital markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. It is important to remember that there are risks inherent in any investment and there is no assurance that any investment or asset class will provide positive performance over time. Value style investing presents the risk that the holdings or securities may never reach our estimate of intrinsic value because the market fails to recognize what the portfolio management team considers the true business value or because the portfolio management team has misjudged those values. In addition, value style investing may fall out of favor and underperform growth or other style investing during given periods. Non-U.S. investing presents additional risks, such as the potential for adverse political, currency, economic, social or regulatory developments in a country, including lack of liquidity, excessive taxation, and differing legal and accounting standards. Non-U.S. securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and other depository receipts, are also subject to interest rate and currency exchange rate risks.

Fixed income instruments are subject to interest rate, inflation and credit risks. Such investments may be secured, partially secured or unsecured and may be unrated, and whether or not rated, may have speculative characteristics. The market price of the Fund’s fixed income investments will change in response to changes in interest rates and other factors. Generally, when interest rates rise, the values of fixed income instruments fall, and vice versa. Certain fixed income instruments are subject to prepayment risk and/or default risk.

Private placement securities are securities that are not registered under the federal securities laws, and are generally eligible for sale only to certain eligible investors. Private placements may be illiquid, and thus more difficult to sell, because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such investments, and the sale of such investments may also be restricted under securities laws

Vertical Capital Income Fund (VCIF) Announces Leadership Changes

PR Newswire

DALLAS, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Vertical Capital Income Fund (NYSE: VCIF, the “Fund”) and Oakline Advisors, LLC (“Oakline”), adviser to the Fund, announced today that the Fund’s Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Treasurer, and Portfolio Manager, Robert J. Chapman has announced his retirement effective today.  In an effort to reduce expenses that would likely be associated with the appointment of a new Trustee, the Fund’s Trustees voted to eliminate Mr. Chapman’s to-be-vacant board position and elevate existing Independent Trustee Robert J. Boulware to serve as Chairman effective also today.  While Mr. Chapman will consult with Oakline until March 31, 2021 for a smooth transition, Oakline’s Senior Vice President Katherine Hawkins will assume the role of Portfolio Manager and Oakline’s Vice President/Senior Controller Destiny Poninski will become Treasurer immediately.  Officers of the Fund serve subject to annual reappointment.  Ms. Hawkins will guide the Fund’s portfolio as aided by the leadership of Michael D. Cohen, President of the Fund and Oakline.   

“This transition is expected to be smooth and one that further confirms the value of our succession planning, since our continuing leadership team has been helping direct the management of the Fund for many years,” noted Mr. Cohen.  “We continue to be pleased with the Fund’s performance and anticipate the recently announced Managed Distribution Plan will add to its successful track record.”

Focused on providing assistance to the VCIF portfolio and its acquisition and disposition strategies since Oakline was appointed as adviser to the Fund, Ms. Hawkins, Senior Vice President/Portfolio Manager has been with Oakline Advisors, LLC (and its predecessor) for approximately six years and with Behringer, Oakline’s parent company, for eight years.  An accomplished buy and sell-side investment professional with 15 years of experience in the residential mortgage market, Ms. Hawkins is skilled in identifying and building relationships, loan analysis and pricing as well as growing investment opportunity pipelines.  Additionally, she has been providing assistance on due diligence and purchase execution for the Fund. Prior to working for Oakline, Ms. Hawkins was responsible for product analysis/representation of a platform of multiple alternative investment strategies. She began her career with a Dallas investment bank developing a RMBS and whole loan trading desk which purchased over $5 billion in product during her tenure.  She received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science from Texas Woman’s University.

While already involved through Oakline in providing assistance for the treasury activities of the Fund, Oakline’s Vice President/Senior Controller Destiny Poninski has been part of the oversight of accounting and financial reporting since Oakline was appointed as adviser to the Fund.  Ms. Poninski joined Oakline Advisors in 2015 as Senior Fund Accountant and has been with Behringer, Oakline’s parent company, since 2014.  Prior to joining Oakline Advisors and Behringer, Ms. Poninski worked in the real estate investment accounting division at Goldman Sachs.  Ms. Poninski received a B.A. in Accounting from Lindenwood University and has more than 10 years of accounting experience.
