Ocean Capital Issues Open Letter to Shareholders of UBS Puerto Rico Bond Funds IV and V, Spotlighting the Need for Boardroom Change
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ocean Capital LLC today issued the following letter to shareholders of Tax-Free Fixed Income Fund IV for Puerto Rico Residents, Inc. and Tax-Free Fixed Income Fund V for Puerto Rico Residents, Inc., which are funds managed by an affiliate of UBS Financial Services Incorporated of Puerto Rico:
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Ocean Capital LLC and the other participants in its solicitations (collectively, “Ocean Capital” or “we”) are concerned shareholders of Tax-Free Fixed Income Fund IV for Puerto Rico Residents, Inc. (“Fund IV”) and Tax-Free Fixed Income Fund V for Puerto Rico Residents, Inc. (“Fund V”), each of which is managed by an affiliate of UBS Financial Services Incorporated of Puerto Rico (collectively, “UBS”). We urge you to vote on the BLUE Proxy Card to elect our highly-qualified and independent nominees to the Boards of Directors (the “Boards”) of Fund IV and Fund V at their upcoming Annual Meetings of Shareholders (the “Annual Meetings”).
We want to take this opportunity to thank our fellow shareholders for their overwhelming support in recent weeks. We have received a significant amount of unsolicited feedback from shareholders, including many who agree with our assessment that the incumbent directors have presided over prolonged value destruction and a series of unacceptable entrenchment maneuvers. We urge the Boards to begin showing respect for shareholders’ rights by:
| ● | Ceasing all entrenchment maneuvers, including potential litigation, that result in the waste of shareholder capital and the unlawful prioritization of the interests of poorly-performing directors. |
| ● | Confirming the acceptance of our valid nominations of director candidates. |
| ● | Hiring an Independent Inspector of Elections to ensure full, fair and prompt election results are produced following the Annual Meetings. |
If our slates are elected at the Annual Meetings, shareholders can trust that it will be a new day at Fund IV and Fund V. Our director candidates will focus on delivering enhanced value for long-suffering shareholders, including by evaluating improved asset management practices, share repurchases and orderly liquidations.
Should you have any questions about how to vote on the BLUE proxy card or BLUE voting instruction form to elect our nominees, contact our proxy solicitor at ocean@investor.morrowsodali.com. You can also visit www.ImproveUBSPRFunds.com to learn about our campaigns.
Sincerely,
W. Heath Hawk
Ocean Capital, LLC
