DENVER -- (Business Wire)
Reaves Utility Income Fund (NYSE MKT: UTG) announced that it filed a
preliminary registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) relating to the offering of additional common shares
of the Fund pursuant to a rights offering.
The Fund is issuing transferable subscription rights (“Rights”) to its
common shareholders on a record date to be set by the Fund’s Board of
Trustees (the “Record Date” and such shareholders, “Record Date
Shareholders”) who will be allowed to subscribe for new common shares of
the Fund (the “Primary Subscription”). Record Date Shareholders will
receive one Right for each common share held on the Record Date. For
every three Rights held, a holder of Rights may buy one new common share
of the Fund.
Record Date Shareholders who fully exercise all Rights initially issued
to them in the Primary Subscription will be entitled to buy those common
shares that are not purchased by other Record Date Shareholders. In
addition, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may elect to issue
additional common shares in an amount of up to 25% of the common shares
issued in the Primary Subscription.
The rights offering is subject to the effectiveness of the Fund’s
Registration Statement currently on file with the SEC and will be made
only by means of a prospectus.
A final Registration Statement relating to the securities has not been
made with the SEC as of the date of this release. These securities may
not be sold nor may offers to purchase be accepted prior to the time the
Registration Statement becomes effective with the SEC.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or constitute a
solicitation of an offer to buy. Investors should read the prospectus,
when available, and consider the investment objective, risks, fees and
expenses of the Fund carefully before investing.

orders through an intermediary or broker. The share price of a
closed-end fund is based on the market’s value.
