SAN FRANCISCO, CA, March 06, 2013 (Press-News.org) On February 27, 2013, the Board of Directors of VII Peaks-KBR Co-Optivist(tm) Income BDC II, Inc. (the "Company") authorized the following actions:
Public Offering Price Increase
Due to recent upside generated from successful refinancings of portfolio companies, the share price for new investments was increased from $10.00 per share to $10.15 per share, effective for the February 28, 2013 close and onwards.
The purpose of the price increase was to ensure that the Company's net asset value ("NAV") per share did not exceed its offering price per share, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Annualized Yield Continued at 7.35% for New Investors and Increased to 7.46% for Existing Investors
Maintaining an annualized yield of 7.35% for the new investors based on the share price of $10.15, and increasing the annualized yield to 7.46% for investors based on the share price of $10.00, the Company increased the amount of the regular semi-monthly cash distribution payable to stockholders of record to $0.031084 per share, , to stockholders of record on February 27, 2013, payable March 15, 2013, stockholders of record on March 14, 2013, payable March 29, 2013, stockholders of record March 28, 2013, payable April 15, and stockholders of record on April 12, 2013, payable on April 30, 2013.
Second Special Distribution
A $0.077 per share special cash distribution was authorized and declared by the Company, to be paid to stockholders of record at the close of business February 27, 2013, payable on March 15, 2013.
8.12% represents the total annualized return, including the current and one-time special distributions.
This is the second special distribution declared by the Company. The first special distribution was declared to stockholders of record at the close of business December 27, 2012, payable on January 17, 2013.
8.99% represents the total annualized return, since the commencement of operations, including the current and special distributions, produced without using any leverage in a short duration portfolio.
"We are encouraged by the success of our unique Co-Optivist strategy, including both the growth of assets from our restructured bonds and the increasing distributions from our investments," said Gurpreet Chandhoke, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "The fact that we are able to provide these benefits to our stockholders without employing any leverage and in a short duration portfolio averaging less than three years, differentiates us from others in the market and should serve to help our clients diversify their portfolios."
