Introductory Statement
This is the final amendment to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 28, 2018 (the “Statement Filing Date”) by AIP Multi-Strategy Fund A (the “Fund”) relating to an offer to purchase shares of beneficial interest of the Fund (“Shares”) in an amount up to 15% of the net assets of the Fund from shareholders of the Fund (“Shareholders”) at their net asset value (i.e., the value of the Fund’s assetsminus its liabilities,divided by the number of Shares outstanding) on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set out in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal were previously filed as Exhibits B and C to the Statement on the Statement Filing Date.
This final amendment to the Statement is being filed to report the results of the Offer. The following information is furnished pursuant to Rule13e-4(c)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934:
1. Shareholders which desired to tender Shares were required to submit their tenders by 12:00 midnight, Eastern time, on September 27, 2018 (the “Notice Date”). Shareholders were allowed to withdraw any tenders of their Shares until the Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, Eastern time, on October 8, 2018 (the “Expiration Date”).
2. Certain Shareholders validly tendered all or some of their respective Shares (as designated by such Shareholders) as $3,294,452 in the aggregate before the Notice Date and did not withdraw such tenders before the Expiration Date. Those tenders were accepted for repurchase by the Fund in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
3. The net asset value of the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer was calculated as of December 31, 2018 (the “Valuation Date”).
4. The payment of the purchase price of the Shares tendered was made in the form of promissory notes respectively given on October 25, 2018 to the Shareholders whose tenders were accepted for purchase by the Fund in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Pursuant to the promissory notes, the Fund paid on or about January 30, 2019, to the tendering Shareholders a total of $3,229,562 representing more than 90% of the unaudited net asset value of the total amount of the Shares tendered by Shareholders. The promissory note issued to a Shareholder also entitles such Shareholder to receive a contingent post-audit payment equal to the amount (if any) by which the net asset value of the Shares tendered by such Shareholder and purchased by the Fund as of the Valuation Date (as such net asset value may be adjusted based on the next annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements) exceeds the initial payment to such Shareholder. The post-audit payment will be paid promptly after the completion of the Fund’s annual audit. Proceeds of the initial payment and post-audit payment will be wire-transferred.
