On July 14, 2017, FPT commenced a tender offer for up to 20 percent of its outstanding common shares at a price equal to 98 percent of its net asset value per share in U.S. dollars as determined as of the end of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the tender offer expires.  The tender offer is currently expected to expire on Aug. 11, 2017.  Questions about the tender offer can be directed to the Georgeson LLC, the information agent for the tender offer, toll free at (866) 856-6388.
