This final amendment relates to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "Statement") originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2025 by Aspiriant Capital Appreciation Fund (f/k/a Aspiriant Risk-Managed Capital Appreciation Fund) (the "Fund") in connection with an offer (the "Offer") by the Fund to purchase shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") in the Fund in an aggregate amount up to $7,200,000 on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(1)(ii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Fund accepted a greater amount of Shares than it was offering to purchase, up to an aggregate amount of approximately 5.03% of Shares outstanding. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal were previously filed as Exhibits B and C to the Statement on April 25, 2025.
This is the final amendment to the Statement and is being filed to report the results of the Offer. The following information is furnished pursuant to Rule 13e-4(c)(4):
1. Holders of Shares in the Fund ("Shareholders") that desired to tender Shares, or a portion thereof, for purchase were required to submit their tenders by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 16, 2025.
2. As of June 16, 2025, ten (10) Shareholders validly tendered Shares and did not withdraw such tenders prior to the expiration of the Offer. The validly tendered Shares were accepted for purchase by the Fund in accordance with the terms of the offer.
3. The net asset value of the Shares tendered and accepted by the Fund pursuant to the Offer was calculated as of June 30, 2025 in the amount of $7,326,517.
4. Promissory notes in the amount of the purchase price of the Shares or portions of Shares tendered were issued to the Shareholders whose tenders were accepted for purchase by the Fund in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The promissory notes were held by UMB Fund Services, Inc., the Fund's administrator, on behalf of such Shareholders, in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Four (4) Shareholders, whose tenders were accepted for purchase by the Fund, did not tender their entire Shares; therefore, pursuant to the promissory notes issued to the Shareholders, the Fund paid the Shareholders 100% of the Shareholders' unaudited net asset value of the Shares tendered. Cash payments in the amount of the unaudited net asset value of the Shares tendered were wired to the accounts designated by such Shareholders in their Letters of Transmittal on August 15, 2025. Six (6) Shareholders, whose tenders were accepted for purchase by the Fund, tendered their entire Shares in the Fund; therefore, pursuant to the promissory notes issued to the Shareholders, the Fund paid to the Shareholders at least 98% of the Shareholders' unaudited net asset value of the Shares tendered (the "Initial Payment"). The Fund will pay the Shareholders a contingent payment (the "Post-Audit Payment") equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the aggregate value of the Shares tendered and purchased as of June 30, 2025 (as it may have been adjusted based upon the annual audit of the Fund's financial statements) over (2) the Initial Payment. The Post-Audit Payments will be paid in full within 5 business days after the completion of the Fund's annual audit at the end of May 2026. Initial Payments in the amount of at least 98% of the Shareholders' unaudited net asset value of the Shares tendered were wired to the accounts designated by such Shareholders in their Letters of Transmittal on August 15, 2025.
Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Statement, Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal previously filed on April 25, 2025 (the "Tender Offer Materials") remains unchanged and this final amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Tender Offer Materials.
