Princeton Update
The Company has been engaged in active negotiations with the Trustee regarding the content of a Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation (the "Plan") proposed by the Trustee. The Plan was filed on 19 April 2019 and provides for the prompt and orderly liquidation of fund assets by approved professionals and the pursuit of possible third party litigation claims under the direction of a liquidating trustee to be appointed under the Plan. The Plan also contemplates the Company being treated in the same way as other Princeton investors. However, in light of the arbitration findings that have been previously announced by the Company, the Company has agreed with the Trustee that it will be paid $2.5 million out of the liquidation proceeds in priority to other investors. This amount will cover part of the costs of the arbitration proceedings that were incurred by the Company.
The disclosure and confirmation process in a Chapter 11 case after the filing of a Plan typically requires a period of two to four months. The Company understands that the Trustee will be reaching out to investors to explain the Plan and respond to questions regarding its content, structure and implementation. The Company will continue to work closely with the Trustee and his professionals to complete this process.

The Company is committed to improving its reporting now that the complex transition away from Ranger Alternative Management II, LP is finally completed.
