NEW YORK, March 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Royce Value Trust, Inc. (NYSE: RVT) (the "Fund") announced today that it was postponing its previously announced record date of March 5, 2018 for determination of stockholders entitled to participate in the Fund's pending common stock rights offering (the "Offer") in order to allow sufficient time for its Registration Statement to be declared effective prior to the record date as required by New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") listing standards. The Fund intends to announce the updated record date and subscription schedule for the Offer, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory and NYSE requirements, through the issuance of a subsequent press release once the effective date for its Registration Statement is known.
The material terms of the Offer remain unchanged and are summarized below.
The Offer is subject to the effectiveness of the Fund's Registration Statement on Form N-2 that was filed on January 25, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Such Registration Statement is not complete, remains subject to review and comment by the staff of the Commission, and may be changed. The Offer will be made only by means of a final prospectus.
The information in this press release is not complete and is subject to change. This press release is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. This press release is not an offering, which can only be made by a prospectus. Investors should carefully consider the Fund's investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. The prospectus will contain this information and additional information about the Fund and the Offer, and should be read carefully before investing. Please contact the Fund at (800) 221-4268 with any questions about the Offer.
Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their NAV per share. The market price of the Fund's shares of common stock is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the Fund. Therefore, the Fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below, or above its NAV per share.
The Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. Its investment goal is long-term capital growth. The Fund normally invests at least 65% of its assets in the equity securities of small- and micro-cap companies, generally those with stock market capitalizations ranging from $100 million to $3 billion, that Royce & Associates, LP ("Royce"), the Fund's investment adviser, believes are trading below its estimate of their current worth. The Fund also may invest up to 25% of its assets in securities of issuers headquartered outside the United States. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in companies with stock market capitalizations in excess of $3 billion. In managing the Fund's assets, Royce uses a core approach that combines multiple investment themes and offers wide exposure to small- and micro-cap stocks by investing in companies with high returns on invested capital or those with strong fundamentals and/or prospects trading at what Royce believes are attractive valuations.
