Virtus Dividend Fund accepts 25% tender offer at near NAV, with lower-than-expected participation.

The Virtus Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund completed a tender offer accepting 23.2 million shares, representing 25% of its outstanding shares, at $15.9192 per share, close to its net asset value. Although 28.8 million shares were tendered, only about 31% of total shares participated, below the anticipated 50%, partly due to large holdings by Saba Capital. Investors who tendered shares saw a modest gain compared to losses for those who held their shares. The fund's discount widened after the offer expired, indicating market reaction to the tender results. This event highlights investor behavior and pricing dynamics in closed-end funds.

The NFJ tender offer results provide context for market activity on Pluang. For readers following US stocks, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 21, 2026 00:31 WIB: out of 150 priced US stocks, 112 rose and 38 fell.

Typical hold times ranged from 51 to 103 days across these assets.
