AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II Announce Tender Offers for Outstanding Auction Rate Preferred Shares

NEW YORK--()--Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI U.S.”), the investment manager of AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund (NYSE: NCV) and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II (NYSE: NCZ) (each, a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”), announced today that each Fund will commence a voluntary tender offer on or about June 28, 2018 (each, a “Tender Offer” and, together, the “Tender Offers”) for up to 100% of its outstanding auction rate preferred shares (“ARPS”). The Tender Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on or about July 27, 2018, unless otherwise extended. The Funds expect to seek alternative financing to fund the purchase of tendered shares and replace the leverage associated with the ARPS that are tendered.

The terms of the Tender Offers for each Fund include the purchase, for cash, of up to 100% of the respective Fund’s issued and outstanding ARPS, at a price equal to 94% of the ARPS’ liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (or $23,500 per share), plus any unpaid dividends accrued through the expiration date of each Tender Offer, or such later date to which such Tender Offer may be extended.

This announcement is not a recommendation, an offer to purchase, or a solicitation of an offer to sell the ARPS of the Funds. The Funds will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a tender offer statement on Schedule TO and related exhibits, including an offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and other related documents (the “Tender Offer Documents”). The Tender Offer Documents will contain additional details about the Tender Offers. ARPS holders should read the offers to purchase and tender offer statements on Schedule TO, together with the related exhibits, when those documents are filed and become available, as they will contain important information about the Tender Offers. The Tender Offer Documents will be mailed or distributed electronically to ARPS holders on or about June 28, 2018. These and other filed documents also will be available to ARPS holders free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Funds’ website at https://us.allianzgi.com/closedendfunds.
