Business Wire
The Board of Directors of Tri-Continental Corporation (NYSE: TY)
today declared a fourth quarter distribution of $0.428 per share of
Common Stock and $0.625 per share of Preferred Stock. Distributions
on Common Stock will be paid on December 10, 2008 to Common
Stockholders of record on November 28, 2008, and distributions on
Preferred Stock will be paid on January 2, 2009 to Preferred
Stockholders of record on November 28, 2008. The ex-dividend date
for both the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock is November 25,
2008. Common Stockholders may elect to receive all or a portion of
their distribution in additional shares. The $0.428 per share
distribution on the Common Stock is in accordance with the
Corporation�s distribution policy, which calls for quarterly
distributions to Common Stockholders equal to 2.75% of the net
asset value (NAV) attributable to the Corporation�s Common Stock at
the end of the prior calendar quarter (or approximately 11%
annually), consisting of distributions of income, and one or both
of net realized capital gains and returns of capital. On October 7,
2008, Tri-Continental Corporation held a Special Meeting of
Stockholders and announced that Stockholders approved a new
investment management services agreement (the "New Agreement")
between the Corporation and RiverSource Investments, LLC
("RiverSource"), a subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc.
(Proposal 1), and elected ten new Directors to the Corporation's
Board (Proposal 2). As described in the Corporation's proxy
statement in respect of the Special Meeting, the effectiveness of
each of Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 are contingent on the closing of
the acquisition of J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated
("Seligman"), the Corporation's current manager, by RiverSource
(the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is expected to occur in the
fourth quarter of 2008. If the Acquisition does not take place,
then the New Agreement will not become effective and the current
management agreement between the Corporation and Seligman will
continue in effect. The net asset value of shares may not always
correspond to the market price of such shares. Shares of many
closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from their net
asset value. Tri-Continental Corporation is subject to stock market
risk, which is the risk that stock prices overall will decline over
short or long periods, adversely affecting the value of an
investment in the Corporation. Distributions by the Corporation
under its distribution policy may include a return of capital. A
return of capital is not net profits of the Corporation (i.e., a
return on your investment) but instead a return of a portion of
your original investment. There is no guarantee that the
Corporation�s investment goals/objective will be met, and you could
lose money. You should consider the investment objectives, risks,
charges, and expenses of the Corporation carefully before
investing. A prospectus containing information about the
Corporation (including its investment objectives, risks, charges,
expenses, and other information) may be obtained by calling
800-TRI-1092. The prospectus should be read carefully before
investing in the Corporation.
