On June 24, 2016, Macquarie Asset Management, Inc. (the “Manager”), the manager of Macquarie Equipment Leasing Fund, LLC (the “Fund”), suspended the Fund’s share redemption program (the “SRP”) to coincide with the beginning of the Fund’s liquidation period which is to commence on July 1, 2016.
The effect of the suspension of the SRP is that all redemption requests received from members of the Fund prior to July 1, 2016 will be honored in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, as filed on Amendment Number 4 to the Fund’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2009. However, the Fund will not process or accept any requests for redemption received from members of the Fund on or after July 1, 2016 unless and until such time as the Manager may approve the resumption of the SRP. The Manager also reserved the right to approve member requests for redemption in cases of death or proof of disability (as that term is defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended).
