TORONTO, Jan. 13, 2013 /CNW/ - Covington Capital Corporation
("Covington") and the Board of Directors for Covington Fund II Inc.
(the "Fund") today announced that effective December 28, 2012 the Fund
would no longer offer Class A shares for sale to investors. The Fund
will remain open to redemptions.
The Manager and Board of Directors believe that this is the best course
of action given the overall maturity of the Fund, and the current
focus on managing the existing portfolio to build value within the
venture holdings while seeking exit opportunities to provide investors
with a return of capital.
