H&Q Life Sciences Investors renews share buyback authority of up to 12% of shares
H&Q Life Sciences Investors said its Board of Trustees authorized a renewal of the Fund's share repurchase program. The renewed program would let the Fund buy up to 12% of its outstanding common shares in the open market for one year, starting July 11, 2012, after the current program ends on July 10, 2012. The Board said the aim is to increase net asset value per share and possibly narrow the discount between market price and net asset value.
