REG-Tetragon Financial Group Ltd: Tender Offer

Tetragon Financial Group Limited Announcement of Tender Offer to Purchase
$25,000,000 of Tetragon Non-Voting Shares

LONDON, May 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tetragon today announces the commencement
of a tender offer to purchase a portion of its outstanding non-voting shares
for a maximum aggregate payment of $25,000,000 in cash. The tender offer,
which was initially announced by Tetragon on April 30, 2020, will be conducted
as a "modified Dutch auction" with shareholders able to tender their Tetragon
non-voting shares at prices ranging from and including $7.75 up to and
including $9.50 per share.  The tender offer is expected to expire at 11:59
p.m. (EST) on June 5, 2020, unless terminated earlier.  J.P. Morgan
Securities plc (which conducts its U.K. investment banking business as J.P.
Morgan Cazenove) ("J.P. Morgan") will act as dealer manager for the tender
offer and Computershare Investor Services PLC ("Computershare") will act as
tender agent for the tender offer.

Eligible shareholders will be able to indicate how many Tetragon non-voting
shares and at what price or prices within the specified range they wish to
tender.  Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by
the tendering shareholders, J.P. Morgan, as dealer manager, will determine the
lowest price per share within the range that will enable Tetragon to purchase
$25,000,000 in value of Tetragon non-voting shares, or a lower amount if the
tender offer is not fully subscribed.  All shares purchased by Tetragon in
the tender offer will be purchased at the same price.  The determined
purchase price, as well as the proration factor (if applicable) is expected to
be announced on or about June 9, 2020, and Tetragon expects the purchase of
shares in the tender offer would be settled promptly thereafter.

The tender offer is not conditioned upon the receipt of any minimum number of
shares being tendered.
