On January 24, 2020, Firsthand Technology Value Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) issued a press release today that it has extended the expiration date of its previously announced “modified Dutch auction” tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to $4 million of its common stock at a price per share not less than $6.00 and not greater than $8.00 per share, in $0.10 increments.
The Tender Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on January 30, 2020, and will instead expire at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on February 14, 2020, or on such later date to which the Tender Offer is further extended. The Tender Offer is being extended to provide shareholders with sufficient time to consider additional disclosures that were made by the Fund today, and those that may be made by the Fund prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer.
A copy of the Press Release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
