Morgan Stanley Closed-End Municipal Funds Announce Board Approval to Redeem Additional Preferred Shares Through the Use of Alternative Sources of Leverage

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:28:00 GMT

The Boards of Trustees for 10 Morgan Stanley Closed-End Municipal Funds, each a registered closed-end investment company (the “Funds”), have approved an additional round of refinancing through the use of Tender Option Bonds (TOBs) that would enable each Fund to redeem a portion of the shares of one or more series of each Fund’s outstanding auction rate preferred shares (“ARPS”). Specifically, the Board of each Fund approved the use of TOBs to refinance up to an additional 20 percent of each Fund’s ARPS leverage, on top of the original 30 percent that was announced in April, subject to acceptable terms and the availability of municipal bonds and liquidity providers as set forth below. The Board of each Fund believes that in light of the continued failed auctions, it is appropriate for the Funds to continue to seek other sources of leverage. This additional approval follows the Company’s July 11, 2008 and August 22, 2008 press releases in which Morgan Stanley provided information regarding approximately $233.20 million in refinancing of the Funds’ outstanding ARPS with TOBs.[More...]
