NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Western Asset Middle Market Debt Fund Inc. (XWAMX) announced today the final results of its tender offer for up to 10% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of common stock (“Shares”) or 13,807 Shares of the Fund at a price equal to the Fund’s net asset value per Share on the day on which the tender offer expired. The Fund’s offer expired on July 3, 2018.
A total of 18,736 Shares were duly tendered and not withdrawn. Because the number of Shares tendered exceeds 13,807 Shares, the tender offer is oversubscribed. Therefore, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the tender offer, the Fund will purchase Shares from all tendering stockholders on a pro rata basis, excluding any odd lot transactions and disregarding fractions. Accordingly, on a pro rata basis, approximately 73.69% of Shares for each stockholder who properly tendered Shares have been accepted for payment. The Shares accepted for tender were repurchased at a price of $735.71 per Share, which was the Fund’s net asset value per Share as of 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 3, 2018. The Fund expects to transmit payment to purchase the duly tendered and accepted Shares on or about July 9, 2018. Shares that were tendered but not accepted for payment and Shares that were not tendered will remain outstanding. Any questions about the tender offer can be directed to Georgeson LLC, the information agent for the tender offer, at (800) 676-0281.
