TORONTO, Aug. 22, 2023 /CNW/ - Stornoway Portfolio Management Inc. ("Stornoway"), the Investment Manager of Ravensource Fund ("Ravensource" or the "Fund") (TSX: RAV.UN) is pleased to announce today that it proposes to raise up to $3,899,070 through a non-brokered private placement of up to 240,832 units ("Units") of the Fund at a price of $16.19 per Unit (the "Offering") which it expects to close mid-to-late September, 2023. The subscription price reflects the Fund's Net Asset Value per unit of $16.1837 as of August 10, 2023.

"This proposed private placement represents the first time Ravensource has raised capital since 2011, providing investors an opportunity to increase their Ravensource investment beyond what is typically available in the open market.

Units issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of closing of the Offering. The proceeds from the Offering will be used by the Fund to purchase additional investments, both in new and existing Fund positions.
