Item 8.01. Other Events
On May 8, 2015, the Board of Directors of Firsthand Technology Value Fund, Inc. (“SVVC”) approved the formation of a fully owned subsidiary of SVVC named Firsthand Venture Investors (“FVI”). SVVC will contribute substantially all of its assets to FVI in return for ownership interest in FVI. The transaction is expected to close after the close of business on June 30, 2015. Following the closing of the transaction, SVVC will have all or substantially all of its investment activities conducted through FVI.
