C1 Fund Inc. (NYSE: CFND) Announces Share Repurchase Program of Up to $3 Million

Key Terms

share repurchase program financial

A share repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's prospects. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued or that it has extra cash to return to shareholders.

nav financial

Net asset value (NAV) is the total value of all the investments and assets in a fund or company, minus any debts or liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth, giving investors an idea of what each share is truly worth based on the underlying assets. Think of it like a company's total worth divided among its shares, helping investors assess whether a share is fairly priced.

open market financial

An open market is a system where buying and selling of goods, services, or financial assets happen freely without restrictions or special controls. For investors, it means they can trade assets easily and quickly, which helps determine fair prices based on supply and demand. This environment encourages transparency and competition, making it easier to buy or sell with confidence.

liquidity financial

Liquidity is how easily and quickly an asset or investment can be converted into cash without losing value. It matters to investors because higher liquidity means they can access their money quickly if needed, while lower liquidity can make it harder to sell assets promptly or at a fair price, potentially creating financial challenges. Think of it like trying to sell a common item versus a rare collectible—it's much easier to sell the common item fast.

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- C1 Fund Inc. (NYSE: CFND) (the “Fund”) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program.

The Board of Directors approved the share repurchase program as part of its ongoing evaluation of capital management alternatives, including options that may enhance shareholder value and potentially reduce the discount between the market price of the Fund’s common shares and the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”).

Under the share repurchase program, the Fund may purchase its common shares in the open market through one or more FINRA-registered broker-dealers, subject to market conditions, applicable regulatory requirements and other factors. The Board of Directors has authorized share repurchases in an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000.

The share repurchase program will terminate on December 31, 2027, unless the Board of Directors approves an extension prior to its termination. The Board of Directors will review the program periodically and may authorize adjustments to its terms, size or duration.

The share repurchase program permits the repurchase of the Fund’s common shares at prices that may be below NAV. Such repurchases could result in incremental accretion to the Fund’s NAV and may provide additional liquidity in the trading of the Fund’s common shares. There can be no assurance that the Fund will repurchase any shares under the program.

The Fund has not previously repurchased any of its common shares.
