BACKGROUND TO THE OFFER Sample Clauses

BACKGROUND TO THE OFFER. The Fund's shares have generally traded at a discount to their net asset value per share since shortly after its commencement of operations. The Board of Directors of the Fund (the "Board") has, over the years, discussed the significance of the existence of the discount to net asset value at which the Fund's shares have traded on the NYSE and the impact on shareholders of the discount. The Board has discussed and considered various alternative strategies to address the discount and otherwise enhance shareholder value, including instituting share repurchases, combining with other funds, converting to an open-end format, or liquidating. The Board has, however, consistently concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to maintain the current closed-end format, because, in the view of the Board and of CSAM, the closed-end format is the most appropriate investment vehicle for participating in the Latin American equities markets. In CSAM's view, many attractive equity investment opportunities in Latin America have been and continue to be found in the small-capitalization and less liquid sectors of those markets. The Board believes that the long-term performance of the Fund supports this view.

The Board has, however, consistently concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to maintain the current closed-end format, because, in the view of the Board and of CSAM, the closed-end format is the most appropriate investment vehicle for participating in the equities markets of emerging countries. In CSAM's view, many attractive equity investment opportunities in emerging countries have been and continue to be found in the small-capitalization and less liquid sectors of those markets. The Board believes that the long-term performance of the Fund supports this view. In October 1998, the Board engaged in a share repurchase program of up to 15% of the Fund's outstanding common stock. In February 1999, the Board authorized another share repurchase program for up to an additional 10% of the Fund's outstanding common stock on a rolling 12-month basis (rather than an annual basis) and permitting repurchases of the Fund's outstanding shares (subject to the 15% annual limit) whenever the discount to net asset value is 15% or more. The Board authorized another share repurchase program for not less than 10% nor more than 15% of the Fund's outstanding common stock in October 1999 after repurchasing the full amount of shares authorized under the first share repurchase program. Both share repurchase programs were intended to provide additional liquidity to those shareholders who elected to sell their shares and to enhance the net asset value of the shares held by shareholders who maintained their investment. In May 1999, the Board of Directors approved a self tender. Pursuant to this self tender, the Fund acquired 3,011,714 shares of its common stock, representing approximately 20% of its then outstanding shares for a cash purchase price equal to 95% of the Fund's net asset value per share on June 25, 1999, the date of the closing of the tender...
