abrdn Income Credit Strategies Fund Announces Update and Tentative Closing Date for Acquisition of Assets From First Trust/abrdn Global Opportunity Income Fund

PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2024 / The Board of Trustees of abrdn Income Credit Strategies Fund (NYSE:ACP), announces today that shareholders of First Trust/abrdn Global Opportunity Income Fund (NYSE:FAM) ("FAM" or the "Acquired Fund") advised by First Trust Advisors L.P. have approved the proposed reorganization into ACP ("Reorganization") which is targeted to be completed before the end of September or as soon as practicable thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

To facilitate the Reorganization, all shares of FAM will cease trading on the New York Stock Exchange as of date to be announced in the coming weeks and FAM shareholders will be issued new issued shares of ACP. The Reorganization will occur based on the relative net asset values of the common shares of FAM. As of July 25, 2024, the combined net assets of ACP following the Reorganization will be approximately $830 million.

The Reorganization is expected to benefit each fund's shareholders in a number of important ways, providing greater opportunities to realize economies of scale by combining the funds' assets resulting in a larger fund. Additionally, the Reorganization is expected to help ensure the viability of the resulting combined fund by increasing scale, liquidity and marketability of the fund.
