Rand Capital Continues Portfolio Transition with Successful Exit of Position in Centivo

Rand Capital Corporation (Nasdaq: RAND) (“Rand”), a business development company (“BDC”), announced today that it sold all of its equity holdings in Centivo Corporation for gross proceeds of approximately $2.4 million. Centivo was held at a fair value of $1.4 million and represented 2.4% of Rand’s net assets, each at June 30, 2021.

With the exit, Rand expects to record a gain of approximately $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Mr. Allen F. “Pete” Grum, President and CEO of Rand Capital, noted, “Consistent with our plan, we continue to exit our equity investments and use the proceeds to invest in interest earning assets to increase net investment income. We were part of the original investors in Ashok Subramanian and his company Centivo and had previously backed the management team with our investments in Liazon. After investing in three rounds of equity, we took the opportunity to exit the company and wish the Centivo team continued success as they deliver on their vision of a Health Plan people can actually afford to use.”
