Limited Issuer Repurchases / Transfer Review
October 21, 2026
A March 2026 shareholder communication stated that shares tendered by March 16, 2026 would be repurchased in full without proration, with the fund repurchasing 6.8% of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025. That historical outcome does not provide an ongoing right to a full exit.
The sponsor warns that repurchases are limited, subject to available liquidity and significant restrictions. It does not expect an established secondary market before any listing. A potential private transfer therefore requires individual feasibility review.
Begin with the issuer's current repurchase materials. Check the submission deadline, required form, pricing date, withdrawal rules and expected settlement process. Periodic liquidity differs from daily redemption or an exchange sale.
A private secondary transaction is a separate possibility to evaluate. Permission to transfer does not establish that a purchaser exists. Sponsor or transfer-agent approval, purchaser eligibility and account documentation may affect whether a proposed transaction can proceed.
Relevant considerations include the mix of private and public credit, fund leverage, borrower credit quality, distributions and transfer restrictions.
A statement value, published NAV, issuer repurchase price and private purchase indication serve different purposes. Compare their valuation dates and terms rather than treating them as interchangeable. The amount an investor could receive also depends on the quantity accepted or purchased.
Request written terms showing gross consideration and applicable deductions, including any early repurchase adjustment, transfer charge, custodian fee or transaction cost. Personal tax consequences should be reviewed with a qualified tax professional.
A recent statement is generally sufficient to begin an initial review. Confirm any additional signatures, signature guarantee, custodian instructions or transfer forms for the particular position before submitting final documents.
AIL reviews ownership records, transfer requirements, valuation references and potential market interest. An individual review does not guarantee a purchaser, issuer repurchase, transaction price or completion date.

Ownership type, sponsor requirements, investment terms, and underlying asset characteristics all influence review.
Some positions may be subject to transfer restrictions, approval requirements, or limitations within governing documents.
Offering materials, account records, ownership documents, and sponsor information help determine whether review can proceed.
Potential liquidity depends on current buyer interest, asset category, pricing expectations, and transaction feasibility.
