Western Asset Middle Market Income Fund Inc. Announces Final Results of Tender Offer

Symbol: XWMFX

Western Asset Middle Market Income Fund Inc. (XWMFX) announced today the final results of its issuer tender offer for up to 2.5% of the outstanding common stock (“Shares”) or 4,047 Shares of the Fund at a price equal to the Fund’s net asset value per Share on the day on which the tender offer expired. As described in the offer, the Fund reserved the right to purchase up to an additional 2% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares without amending or extending the offer (the “Additional Shares”). The Fund’s offer expired on January 5, 2022.

A total of 15,990 Shares were duly tendered and not withdrawn. Because the number of Shares tendered exceeds 4,047 Shares, the tender offer is oversubscribed. Therefore, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the tender offer, the Fund will purchase Shares from all tendering stockholders on a pro rata basis, excluding any odd lot transactions and disregarding fractions. A total of 7,284 Shares, including 3,237 Additional Shares, were accepted for payment. Accordingly, on a pro rata basis, including the impact of any Additional Shares purchased but excluding any odd lot transactions and disregarding fractions, approximately 41.6% of Shares for each stockholder who properly tendered Shares have been accepted for payment. The purchase price of properly tendered Shares is $639.78 per Share, equal to the per Share net asset value as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on January 5, 2022. The Fund expects to transmit payment to purchase the duly tendered and accepted Shares on or about January 7, 2022. Shares that were tendered but not accepted for payment and Shares that were not tendered will remain outstanding.

Any questions about the tender offer can be directed to Georgeson LLC, the information agent for the tender offer, at (866) 431-2110.
