Tekla Healthcare Opportunities Fund announces a share repurchase program. Under the program, the company will repurchase up to 12% of its outstanding common shares. The company aims to enhance shareholder value and potentially reduce the discount between the market price of the Fund's shares and the net asset value per share. The share repurchase program is intended to increase the Fund's net asset value per share and could also have the benefit of providing additional liquidity in the trading of shares. The program will run for a one year period ending July 14, 2020. Tekla Capital Management LLC acted as Advisor to the Fund.
