For the buyer and target.

“The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the applicable effective time (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into ACIF (the “First Merger”), with ACIF continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCPL.”

What happened

On Feb. 24, 2026, BCPL entered into a merger agreement with ACIF. A BCPL subsidiary will first merge into ACIF, which will briefly continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCPL. ACIF will then merge into BCPL, with BCPL as the surviving company. Terms weren't disclosed in dollar terms. [01]

ACIF shareholders are set to receive BCPL common stock based on an exchange ratio tied to each fund's net asset value per share, plus cash for fractional shares. Before closing, ACIF will also run a discretionary repurchase offer for up to 15% of its outstanding shares. [01]

Completion depends on approval from ACIF shareholders, an effective registration statement, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. Either side can end the agreement if the first merger hasn't happened by Feb. 24, 2027. [01]
