WHEREAS, following such Transaction, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company, its policyholders and its sole shareholder, The Nassau Companies of New York, a Delaware corporation (the “Sole Shareholder”), to effect a merger with DLNY, whereby DLNY would merge with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of DLNY would cease, and the Company will be the surviving company (the “Proposed Merger”).
Except as otherwise required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), voting power for the election of directors and for all other purposes is vested exclusively in the holders of the Fund’s Common Stock. Each holder of a full or fractional share of Common Stock is entitled, in the case of full shares, to one vote for each such share and, in the case of fractional shares, to a fraction of one vote corresponding to the fractional amount of each such fractional share. The Operating Agreement of the Sole Shareholder (the “Operating Agreement”) grants the members of the Sole Shareholder (the “Members”) pass-through voting rights, meaning that the Sole Shareholder may take no action with respect to the Fund’s Common Stock without first securing the approval of the Members, with the same vote required of the Members as is required of holders of the Fund’s Common Stock.
Any assets of the Fund distributed to its Sole Shareholder, in cash or in kind at the option of the Board, are distributed in proportion to the number of full and fractional outstanding shares of Common Stock held. Assets of the Fund distributed to the Sole Shareholder, which are further distributed to the Members, will follow the Distribution Policy set forth in the Operating Agreement.
