Fifth Street Asset Management Inc. Announces A Final Liquidating Distribution of $0.014665
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., June 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fifth Street Asset Management (OTCPK:FSAM) (“FSAM” or the “Company”) today announced that on June 23, 2021 its Board of Directors declared a final liquidating distribution of $0.014665 per share payable on June 30, 2021, to stockholders of record of its Class A Common Stock as of June 28, 2021.
NASD UPC (Uniform Practice Code) rule 11140 provides that, in respect to dividends or distributions that are 25 percent or greater of the value of the subject security, the ex-dividend date shall be the first business day following the payable date. Accordingly, an FSAM investor that sells shares of FSAM common stock prior to the payment date of June 30, 2021 will not receive the distribution for the FSAM shares that are sold.
Since FSAM’s asset sale on October 17, 2017, FSAM declared total distributions of $5.17 per share (which includes cash and marketable securities).
FSAM is conducting a final audit of its consolidated financial statements, which the Company plans to release on its website to all investors once complete.
