Princeton Capital Corporation Provides Strategic Process Update
NORTH ANDOVER, MA , Aug. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Princeton Capital Corporation (OTC:PIAC) (“Princeton” or the “Company”), today provided an update on its review of strategic alternatives.
On November 15, 2019, the Company announced that the Company’s Board of Directors had initiated a strategic review process to identify, examine, and consider a range of strategic alternatives available to the Company, including but limited to, (i) selling the Company’s assets to a business development company or other potential buyer, (ii) merging with another business development company, (iii) liquidating the Company’s assets in accordance with a plan of liquidation, (iv) raising additional funds for the Company, or (v) otherwise entering into another business combination, with the objective of maximizing stockholder value.
The Company’s strategic options have been enhanced by significant valuation growth in the Company’s portfolio of investments of 31.28% in the second quarter of 2021 and 48.26% for the calendar year through June 30, 2021, as described in the Company’s Form 10-Q filings for the first two quarters of 2021.
While the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily slowed the Company’s efforts, the Company and its Board remain active in reviewing strategic alternatives with the continued objective of maximizing stockholder value. The Board is open to any alternatives for maximizing stockholder value, including a potential strategic transaction.
The Board and the Company’s management team plan to continue to proceed in a timely and orderly manner, but have not set a definitive timetable for completion of the strategic process. There can be no assurance of a successful outcome from these efforts, or of the form or timing of any such outcome.
