Amendment No. 24 to Statement on Schedule 13D
This amended statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, $0.01
par value per share (the "Shares"), of Boulder Growth & Income Fund, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the "Company"). Items 3, 4 and 5 of this statement,
previously filed by the Ernest Horejsi Trust No. 1B (the "Trust"), as the direct
beneficial owner of the Shares, and Stewart R. Horejsi, by virtue of the
relationships described previously in this statement, are hereby amended as set
forth below.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
No change except for the addition of the following:
The total amount the Trust paid for the purchase of 798,358 Shares acquired
in the Company's rights offering was $5,971,717.84.
The total proceeds received by the Trust for the sale of 38,200 Shares
reported in Item 5(c) was $345,790.02. Such Shares were sold in the open market
and effected by the Trust on the New York Stock Exchange.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
No change except for the addition of the following:
The Trust purchased the shares reported in Item 5(c) of this statement
through participation in the Fund's one-for-three rights offering. The Trust
previously indicated to the Company, as evidenced in the Company's registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2008, its
intent to participate in the primary offering. Shares acquired by the Trust in
the rights offering are exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 under Rule 16a-9(b).
The Trust sold the Shares described in Item 5(c) of this statement in order
to reduce its equity interest in the Company and to generate cash flow to pay
current and future obligations. The Trust indicated its intention to liquidate
654,075 Shares on a Form 144 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 10, 2008 giving notice of the proposed sale.
Depending upon their evaluation of the Company's investments and prospects,
and upon future developments (including, but not limited to, performance of the
Shares in the market, the effective yield on the Shares, availability of funds,
alternative uses of funds, and money, stock market and general economic
conditions), any of the Reporting Persons or other entities that may be deemed
to be affiliated with the Reporting Persons may from time to time purchase
Shares, and any of the Reporting Persons or other entities that may be deemed to
be affiliated with the Reporting Persons may from time to time dispose of all or
a portion of the Shares held by such person, or cease buying or selling Shares.
Any such additional purchases or sales of the Shares may be in open market or
privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
No change except for the addition of the following:
(a) The Trust is the direct beneficial owner of 3,193,532 Shares, or
approximately 12.54% of the 25,456,741 Shares outstanding as of June 23, 2008
according to information contained in the Company's press release. By virtue of
the relationships reported in this statement, Mr. Horejsi may be deemed to share
indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares directly beneficially owned by the
Trust. Mr. Horejsi disclaims all such beneficial ownership.
(c) The Trust participated in the Company's one-for-three rights offering
which expired on June 20, 2008 (the "Offering"). The Trust purchased 798,358
Shares in the Offering at $7.48 per share (the net asset value of the Company as
of June 20, 2008, the closing date and expiration of the Offering). The Trust
participated in the primary subscription only and did not oversubscribe. Shares
acquired by the Trust in the rights offering are exempt from Section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 under Rule 16a-9(b).
The table below sets forth Shares sold by the Trust since March 20, 2008.
Such sales were effected by the Trust on the New York Stock Exchange.
