FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Shareholders of TYW Approve Reorganization into Open-End Fund
Lisle, IL – November 23, 2011 – (NYSE:
TYW
) Today, Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC announced that the shareholders of
TS&W / Claymore Tax-Advantaged Balanced Fund
a diversified closed-end management investment company (NYSE: TYW or the “Fund”), have approved a reorganization into an open-end fund, Rydex | SGI Municipal Income Fund (the “Rydex | SGI Fund”), a series of Security Income Fund.
The closing of the reorganization is expected to occur on or about January 13, 2012, subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions (the “Closing Date"). Upon the Closing Date, Rydex | SGI Fund will acquire substantially all of the assets and will assume the stated liabilities of TYW, in exchange for shares of Rydex | SGI Fund (the “New Shares”) to be issued to TYW. The New Shares of Rydex | SGI Fund issued to TYW will be distributed as a liquidating distribution to the common shareholders of TYW in complete liquidation and termination of TYW. Thus, common shareholders of TYW will become shareholders of Rydex | SGI Fund. Following the Reorganization, TYW will dissolve.
Approximately two weeks prior to the Closing Date, on or about December 30, 2011, common shares of TYW will cease trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in order to allow time to transfer shareholder information to the Rydex | SGI Fund and its transfer agent. During this time period, holders of common shares of TYW will not be able to sell their common shares and their investment will temporarily be illiquid. After the closing of the reorganization, however, such holders may redeem New Shares of Rydex | SGI Fund at net asset value. Shareholders will be able to redeem New Shares of Rydex | SGI Fund received in the reorganization as of the close of business of the first business day following the Closing Date, which will be January 17, 2012 assuming the reorganization closes on January 13, 2012, at the net asset value per share next determined after the time when such shares are tendered for redemption.
Rydex | SGI Fund will seek to provide current income with an emphasis on income exempt from federal income tax, while also considering capital appreciation. In pursuit of its objective, Rydex | SGI Fund will invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of municipal securities whose interest is free from federal income tax. Rydex | SGI Fund will allocate assets across different market sectors and maturities and may invest in municipal bonds rated in any rating category or in unrated municipal bonds. Rydex | SGI Fund, however, will invest under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in investment grade securities.
Security Global Investors
SM
will serve as investment adviser to the Rydex | SGI Fund and Rydex Distributors, LLC will distribute the Rydex | SGI Fund. Guggenheim Partners Asset Management, LLC (“GPAM”) will serve as investment sub-adviser to the Rydex | SGI Fund. GPAM is a subsidiary of Guggenheim Partners, LLC and Security Global Investors
SM
and Rydex Distributors, LLC are subsidiaries of Security Benefit Corporation, which is a subsidiary of Guggenheim SBC Holdings, LLC, an entity managed by an affiliate of Guggenheim Partners, LLC. GPAM will manage the Rydex | SGI Fund utilizing a dynamic strategy that combines a rigorous municipal security selection process with a relative value analysis. There can be no assurance that the Rydex | SGI Fund will be successful in achieving its investment objective.
In connection with the reorganization, TYW will redeem 100% of its outstanding auction market preferred shares (“AMPS”). The redemption price will be equal to the liquidation preference per share, plus accumulated but unpaid dividends as of the applicable redemption date (as noted in the table below).
