Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 22, 2010 First Trust/Four Corners Senior Floating Rate Income Fund
(NYSE Amex: FCM), a diversified closed-end management investment company ("FCM"
or the "Fund"), announced that the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved and
adopted a Plan of Termination, Liquidation and Dissolution (the "Plan") which
will result in the termination of FCM in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Declaration of Trust of FCM dated as of
August 8, 2003. As a result of adopting the Plan, the Fund will begin to wind
up its affairs and will no longer seek to attain its investment objectives.
Once the assets of FCM have been liquidated, FCM will establish and will
provide notice of a "Record Date," i.e., the date on which shares of FCM shall
cease trading on the NYSE Amex, the transfer books of FCM will close and all
certificates representing FCM shares will be deemed canceled. Holders of record
of shares of FCM at the close of business on the Record Date shall be entitled
to a distribution of their allocable portion of the trust property of FCM in
accordance with the Plan. The Fund expects to make the first and final
liquidating distribution in approximately 90 days to holders of record on the
Record Date.
First Trust/Four Corners Senior Floating Rate Income Fund (the "Fund") is
filing herewith a press release issued on July 22, 2010, as Exhibit 99.2. The
press release was issued on July 22, 2010 by the Fund to report that the Board
of Trustees of the Fund approved and adopted a Plan of Termination, Liquidation
and Dissolution which will result in the termination of the Fund.
