SLRC faces 8 stockholder lawsuits over SUNS merger; voluntarily supplements proxy
SLR Investment Corp.
- Eight stockholder complaints filed in Jan-Feb 2022 challenging proposed SUNS merger (Dec 1, 2021) for alleged inadequate disclosures.
- SLRC voluntarily supplements proxy statement with details on merger process, advisor selection, and estimated $1.4M annual cost savings.
- Special meeting of stockholders remains scheduled for March 21, 2022; merger consideration unchanged.
- Disclosures include no planned change to annual dividends (SLRC $1.64, SUNS $1.20, ProForma $1.64), and updated beneficial ownership for Bruce Spohler.
- Company believes claims meritless but supplements to reduce litigation risk and potential delay.
