Houston, Texas, April 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NGP Capital Resources Company (NASDAQ: NGPC) (the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors has elected to delay the Company's annual meeting of stockholders until further notice, and has amended the Company's bylaws accordingly. The Company's bylaws previously required that an annual meeting of stockholders be held during the month of May.
In September 2013, the Company engaged Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, a Stifel company ("KBW"), as financial advisor to the Company in its evaluation of strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value. Since that announcement, the Board of Directors, with the assistance of KBW, has considered and continues to consider a number of alternative proposals with various parties and a variety of structures. The Board has made substantial progress in exploring and evaluating many alternatives and proposals, the diversity and complexity of which has resulted in a lengthier process.
Steve Gardner, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are pleased with the level of interest and participation in our strategic alternatives process. We believe that taking the time to investigate the varying proposals presented to the Company is in the best long-term interest of our stockholders. We appreciate the patience of our stockholders as we work through this process."
No decision has been made to enter into a transaction at this time, and there can be no assurance that the Company will enter into a transaction in the future. The Company does not plan to disclose or comment on developments regarding the strategic review process until it is complete or further disclosure is deemed appropriate.
