Press Release from Business Wire : Conversus Capital, L.P.
Conversus Capital Announces Block Trade and Change in Board of Directors
GUERNSEY, Channel Islands, (BSW) - Conversus Capital, L.P. (Euronext Amsterdam: CCAP) (“Conversus” or the “Company”) announces that an affiliate of Harvard Management Company, Inc. (“Harvard”) has agreed to a sale of 8 million CCAP units subject to customary settlement processes.
Pursuant to organizational documents of the Company, Harvard’s right to appoint a Non-voting Advisor to the Company’s Independent Board of Directors (“Board”) automatically terminates if Harvard’s ownership falls below a specific threshold as a result of the sale of CCAP units. As the aggregate market value of Harvard’s remaining 2 million CCAP units is less than the specified threshold, Harvard will no longer appoint a Non-voting Advisor to the Company’s Board.
“We are grateful for Harvard’s contributions since our IPO as they have been an integral part of our success,” commented Tim Smith, CFO of Conversus Capital, L.P. “We look forward to continuing our relationship with Harvard. At the same time, we are pleased to see another large, sophisticated institution join our investor base through a substantial block transaction.”
