"I'm encouraged by the outpouring of support we have received to date from unitholders," said Wayne Pushka, President of Citadel Fund Administrator. "Since announcing the Reorganization Proposal, we have travelled across the country meeting with investment advisors, and spent a significant amount of time with our unitholders. I'm pleased that after careful review of both proposals, most of them agree that the Reorganization Proposal is the better alternative to enhance unitholder value."
With the Special Meetings of Unitholders less than a week away and deadlines for proxy-voting and redemption requests quickly approaching, it is crucial that unitholders take action quickly. Vote FOR the Reorganization Resolutions and AGAINST the Hostile Resolutions.
