Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

In connection with the previously announced approval by the stockholders of American Capital Senior Floating, Ltd. (the “Company”) of the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company (the “Plan”), including the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the dissolution of the Company pursuant to the Plan, on August 3, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved the voluntary delisting of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”). On August 6, 2018, the Company provided notice to NASDAQ of its intent to voluntarily delist and deregister its Common Stock from NASDAQ. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about August 16, 2018 to commence the delisting process. The Company expects that its delisting will become effective prior to the commencement of trading on or about August 27, 2018, at which time trading in the Common Stock will be indefinitely suspended. Additionally, on August 6, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the voluntary delisting. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Initial Liquidating Distribution

 

On August 3, 2018, in connection with the Company’s sale of certain of the Company’s investments pursuant to the Plan, the Board approved an initial liquidating distribution of $8.80 per share (such distribution, the “Initial Liquidating Distribution”) to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2018 (the “Record Date”) in accordance with the Plan. The payment of the Initial Liquidating Distribution will be made on August 27, 2018.   In accordance with NASDAQ rules, the ex-dividend date will be August 28, 2018, the first business day following the payment date for the Initial Liquidating Distribution.

 

In addition to the sale of certain of its portfolio investments that have been completed, the Company has entered into contracts for the sale of all of its remaining portfolio investments but cannot assure you that these remaining sales will be consummated. After paying and/or maintaining reserves against all of the Company’s liabilities (including contingent liabilities), the Company intends to make one or more additional liquidating distributions of its remaining assets to its stockholders (collectively, “Additional Liquidating Distributions” and, together with the Initial Liquidating Distribution, “Total Liquidating Distributions”). Total Liquidating Distributions are estimated to be within a range of $12.33 to $12.46 per share as detailed below.

 

Based on the information currently available, the Company estimates that the aggregate amount to be received by stockholders pursuant to the Plan (including cumulative dividends already paid in May, June, July and August of 2018 (the “Cumulative Dividends Paid”), the Initial Liquidating Distribution and Additional Liquidating Distributions) will be between 97% to 98% of the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of March 31, 2018 of $13.11, or within a range of $12.72 to $12.85 per share. These aggregate amounts include (a) the Cumulative Dividends Paid of $0.388 per share, (b) the Initial Liquidating Distribution of $8.80 per share and (c) Additional Liquidating Distributions, which the Company currently estimates will be within a range of $3.53 to $3.66 per share in the aggregate. The actual Additional Liquidating Distributions received by each stockholder could be more or less than the estimated ranges and the timing of such distributions is uncertain. The Company intends to complete the Additional Liquidating Distributions by September 30, 2018, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

 

On August 6, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the approval of the Initial Liquidating Distribution in connection with the Plan. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
