The Trust intends to invest the net proceeds from the offering in accordance with its investment objective and policies. The offering is expected to close on or about July 23, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
B. Riley Securities, Inc. and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering. Aegis Capital Corp., InspereX LLC, Maxim Group LLC, Newbridge Securities Corporation and Wedbush Securities Inc. are serving as co-managers for the offering.
