AMENDMENT NO. 1
SCHEDULE TO
This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Tender Offer Statement”) originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 10, 2020 by Priority Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company incorporated in the State of Maryland, relating to the offer by the Company to purchase up to $4,098,648 worth of its issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), which amount represents the number of Shares it can repurchase with the cash that has been retained by the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 as a result of issuing shares through its distribution reinvestment plan to those shareholders who have elected to receive their distributions in the form of additional shares rather than in cash. The offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements hereto or thereto, collectively constituted the “Offer”).
This Amendment is filed solely to correct the Offer’s Expiration Date, as identified in the Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal, Notice of Tender Cancellation, and Letter to Stockholders, each of which was filed as an exhibit to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (collectively, the “Tender Offer Materials”).
Pursuant to rules promulgated by the Commission, the Offer must remain open for at least twenty business days from its commencement. The Tender Offer Materials incorrectly identified January 18, 2021, which is a Federal holiday and therefore not a “business day” under the Commission’s rules, as the Expiration Date.
Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 corrects the Expiration Date to 12:00 AM, Eastern Time, on January 20, 2021, and the Offer will remain open up to the corrected Expiration Date. All references to 4:00 PM, Eastern Time, on January 18, 2021 as the Expiration Date in or incorporated by reference into Items 1 through 8 of the Tender Offer Statement, and in each of the Tender Offer Materials, are hereby deleted and replaced with references to 12:00 AM, Eastern Time, on January 20, 2021, respectively, as the Expiration Date.
SIGNATURE
After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
