PURCHASE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Alpine Global Premier Properties Fund (AWP) (the Fund) announced today the preliminary results of its cash tender offer for up to 21,489,143 (representing approximately 20%) of its issued and outstanding common shares (the Offer). The Offer expired on June 15, 2012, at 5:00 P.M. New York City time.

Based on preliminary information, approximately 26,629,764 common shares, or approximately 24.8% of the Funds outstanding common shares were tendered through the expiration date. This number is subject to adjustment and should not be regarded as final. Because the number of shares tendered exceeded 21,489,143, the number of shares that will be purchased by the Fund will be pro-rated based on the number of shares properly tendered by each shareholder. No more than a total of 21,489,143 properly tendered shares will be accepted for payment at a price per share equal to 95% of the Funds net asset value per share (NAV) determined as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on June 18, 2012. The final number of shares validly tendered and accepted pursuant to the tender offer will be announced at a later date.
