Since AWP still had not yet IPO'd at the time of your post #4, I could only conclude that the information provided was
-1- very general and/or
-2- merely the red herring provided in an IPO to prospective investors.
Once an IPO has come to pass, the red herring aka preliminary prospectus is obsolete and an actual prospectus with more complete data is made available to the public.

An issuing company cannot actively solicit investors. Exactly how they are legally allowed to drum up business for an IPO is like walking a fine line. This applies to ALL issuers of all types... bonds, stocks, ETFs, CEFs and OEFs, etc. IMO, internet access to company websites makes it even more difficult for them to define what and when any information, however vague (ie red herrings), is allowed to be placed on their websites.

Some companies prefer to interpret the laws in the very strictest sense. For example, even when I knew MAPIX Matthews Asia Pacific Equity Income's IPO was imminent, the matthewsfunds.com site didn't even have a whisper that the fund existed. When I called to confirm why they had not even a blurb about it on the site, I was told that they could give general replies to direct unsolicited questions and nothing else.

I hope this clarifies my #14 reply. If you found it condescending, that was not my intent.

Regards,
Susan

Hi Susan.

Alpine removed all of the investor information about AWP (the "investor piece") including the red herring from their website three weeks before the IPO due to a decision by Merrill Lynch. ML was concerned about individual investors' (!) having access to the IPO materials outside ML's and the rest of the syndicate's control, i.e., they prefer that materials are delivered by the individual's financial advisor to ensure delivery of the red herring and not just the "investor piece."

The final N-2 (with the final prospectus) was approved April 26.

I posted my question after noting that all of the information about AWP was pulled, didn't know why, and had never seen this occur before regarding a website posting IPO material. It had become a "tabula rasa." At first I thought that something was wrong with their website! But the last laugh is now on me -- "mort de rire."

Thanks for your reply and the additional information. And no, I didn't think that the reply was condescending. I was just confused about the whole issue, moot now, but nonetheless still a good learning lesson for me.

It was good to hear from you. Take care,

Denny
