Morgan Stanley China A Share Fund (NYSE: CAF) approved a 2026 tender offer to repurchase up to 20% of outstanding shares for cash at 98.5% of NAV (less offer costs), to run from March 3, 2026 through March 31, 2026 unless extended.

The Board also shortened its performance-related conditional tender measurement period from five years to three years. A Conditional Tender Offer of up to 25% (at 98.5% of NAV less costs) can trigger if the Fund underperforms the MSCI China A Onshore Index over the three-year period beginning July 1, 2025 and if shares trade at or below NAV at period end; such offers are subject to timing, cash repatriation and Chinese regulatory requirements.
