Business Wire
Lazard World Dividend & Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: LOR)
today announced the expiration and preliminary results of its
one-time tender offer to acquire, in exchange for cash, up to 20%
of its outstanding shares of common stock (the "Offer"). The
Offer expired today, August 21, 2019, at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, and was oversubscribed. The purchase price for validly
tendered shares is $10.04 per share, which is equal to 98% of LOR's
net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the
New York Stock Exchange today.
Based upon preliminary information provided by Broadridge
Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the information agent for the
Offer (the "Information Agent"), 3,560,562 shares, or approximately
52% of LOR's outstanding shares, were tendered. Due to the fact
that the number of shares tendered exceeded the number of shares
LOR offered to purchase pursuant to the Offer, LOR will purchase
the maximum percentage of outstanding shares it previously
announced on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the number of
shares validly tendered by tendering stockholders and the terms of
the Offer to Purchase, with appropriate adjustment to avoid
purchasing fractional shares (the "proration factor"). The
proration factor and actual number of shares to be purchased is
anticipated to be announced tomorrow, and payment for such shares
will be made as promptly as practicable thereafter.
Any questions regarding the Offer may be directed to the
Information Agent toll-free at (888) 789-8409.
