O'CONNOR EQUUS ONE FREEDOM VALLEY DRIVE OAKS, PENNSYLVANIA 19456 NOTIFICATION OF REPURCHASE OFFER PURSUANT TO RULE 23C-3 MAY 22, 2015 Dear O'Connor EQUUS shareholder: Notice is hereby given to shareholders of O'Connor EQUUS (the "Fund") of the Fund's quarterly repurchase offer (the "Repurchase Offer"). This notice is to inform you about the Repurchase Offer. Please disregard this notice if you do not wish to tender your shares to the Fund. The Fund is structured as an interval fund which permits it to offer its shareholders the opportunity to tender shares of the Fund ("Shares") for repurchase by the Fund once quarterly. The Fund may conduct quarterly repurchases for between 5% and 25% of the Fund's outstanding Shares, subject to the approval of the Fund's Board of Trustees. On March 3, 2015, the Board of Trustees considered and approved the Repurchase Offer. The Fund is making this offer to repurchase up to 15% of its outstanding Shares pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Until June 16, 2015, you are entitled to request that the Fund repurchase Shares you own. If you wish to do so, you should submit your request to Atlantic Fund Services, LLC, who can handle all the details for you. Your broker or financial intermediary may charge you a fee for this service. Fund investors ("Shareholders") who choose to participate in the Repurchase Offer can expect payment for the Shares repurchased to be made on or before July 7, 2015. Please note that if the number of Shares tendered for repurchase by all Shareholders exceeds the number authorized for repurchase, repurchases may be made on a pro rata basis, as more fully described in the attached document. The net asset value of the Shares may fluctuate between June 16, 2015, the Repurchase Offer Request Deadline, and June 30, 2015, the Repurchase Pricing Date. The attached document contains a Repurchase Request Form. Your Repurchase Request Form must be received by Atlantic Fund Services, LLC in good order no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 16, 2015 for it to be honored, and your request will be executed at the Fund's closing net asset value per share on June 30, 2015. THE REPURCHASE REQUEST FORM MUST BE RETURNED TO ATLANTIC FUND SERVICES, LLC ONLY. REPURCHASE REQUEST FORMS SHOULD NOT BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE FUND. You do not need to take any action if you do not wish to tender your Shares. ALL REQUESTS TO TENDER SHARES MUST BE RECEIVED BY ATLANTIC FUND SERVICES, LLC AT THE ADDRESS OR FAX BELOW IN GOOD ORDER BY 4:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON JUNE 16, 2015.

O'CONNOR EQUUS ONE FREEDOM VALLEY DRIVE OAKS, PENNSYLVANIA 19456 REPURCHASE OFFER MAY 22, 2015 1. THE OFFER. O'Connor EQUUS (the "Fund") is offering to repurchase up to fifteen percent (15%) of its shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") issued and outstanding as of June 16, 2015, at a share price equal to the net asset value per share ("NAV") on June 30, 2015 (the "Repurchase Offer"). The Repurchase Offer is made upon the terms and conditions stated in this Repurchase Offer, the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (and the Repurchase Request Form attached thereto) and the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The purpose of the Repurchase Offer is to provide liquidity to the Fund's investors ("Shareholders"), because no secondary market exists for the Fund's Shares. The Repurchase Offer is not conditioned upon the tender for repurchase of any minimum number of Shares. 2. NET ASSET VALUE. The Fund's NAV as of the close of business on May 15, 2015 was $958.89 per share. Because the Fund's NAV may fluctuate, please contact your financial advisor or UBS Global Asset Management at 888-793-8637 for the Fund's current NAV information. The NAV can fluctuate, and the NAV on the Repurchase Pricing Date (as defined below) could be lower or higher than the NAV on the date you submitted your repurchase request. 3. REPURCHASE REQUEST DEADLINE. Atlantic Fund Services, LLC must receive your properly completed Repurchase Request Form on or before June 16, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the "Repurchase Request Deadline"). THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (AND REPURCHASE REQUEST FORM) MUST BE RETURNED TO ATLANTIC FUND SERVICES, LLC ONLY. LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL SHOULD NOT BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE FUND. You may withdraw or modify your repurchase request at any time prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline. THE REPURCHASE REQUEST DEADLINE WILL BE STRICTLY OBSERVED. IF YOU FAIL TO SUBMIT YOUR REPURCHASE REQUEST IN GOOD ORDER TO ATLANTIC FUND SERVICES, LLC BY THE REPURCHASE REQUEST DEADLINE, THE FUND WILL NOT REPURCHASE YOUR SHARES AS PART OF THE REPURCHASE OFFER. 4. REPURCHASE PRICING DATE. The Fund will repurchase Shares at the NAV determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on June 30, 2015 (the "Repurchase Pricing Date"). Pursuant to Rule 23c-3(a)(5)(iii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Fund may use an earlier repurchase pricing date than June 30, 2015 if, on or immediately following the Repurchase Request Deadline, it appears that the use of an earlier repurchase pricing date is not likely to result in significant dilution of the NAV of either Shares that are tendered for repurchase or Shares that are not tendered.
N-23C3A5th Page of 11TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
Shareholders must decide whether to tender their Shares prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline, but the NAV at which the Fund will repurchase Shares will not be calculated until the Repurchase Pricing Date. Please be aware that the NAV of the Shares may fluctuate between the Repurchase Request Deadline and the Repurchase Pricing Date and there can be no assurance that the NAV of the Shares on the Repurchase Pricing Date will be as high as the NAV of the Shares on the Repurchase Request Deadline or the date you submitted your repurchase request. 5. PAYMENT FOR SHARES REPURCHASED. Repurchase proceeds will be credited to your account no later than July 7, 2015, seven days after the Repurchase Pricing Date. The Fund expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to delay payment for Shares in order to comply in whole or in part with any applicable law. Under no circumstances will the Fund pay interest on the repurchase price of the Shares to be paid by the Fund, regardless of any delay in making such payment. 6. INCREASE IN NUMBER OF SHARES REPURCHASED: PRO RATA REPURCHASE. If share repurchase requests exceed the number of Shares in the Fund's Repurchase Offer, the Fund may (i) repurchase tendered Shares on a pro rata basis or (ii) increase the number of Shares to be repurchased by up to two percent (2%) of the Fund's outstanding Shares on the Repurchase Request Deadline. If the Fund increases the percentage to be repurchased but the share repurchase requests still exceed the number of Shares in the Fund's expanded offer, the Fund may repurchase tendered Shares on a pro rata basis. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to fulfill your entire request even if you tender all Shares held in your account. In this event, you may be unable to liquidate some of your investment, and you would have to wait until a later date to tender the Shares that the Fund was unable to repurchase. Until such later date, you will be subject to the risk of NAV fluctuations. IN ANTICIPATION OF THE POSSIBILITY OF PRO RATION, SOME SHAREHOLDERS MAY TENDER MORE SHARES THAN THEY WISH TO HAVE REPURCHASED IN A PARTICULAR QUARTERLY PERIOD, THEREBY INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF PRO RATION. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SELL AS MANY OF YOUR SHARES AS YOU DESIRE TO SELL IN A GIVEN QUARTERLY PERIOD OR IN ANY SUBSEQUENT QUARTERLY PERIOD. 7. WITHDRAWAL OF SHARES TO BE REPURCHASED. You may withdraw or modify your repurchase request at any time prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline by submitting written notice thereof to Atlantic Fund Services, LLC. In the event you decide to modify or withdraw your repurchase request, you should provide Atlantic Fund Services, LLC with sufficient notice prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline. All questions as to the form and validity, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, whose determination will be final and binding. None of the Fund or any other person will (a) be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or (b) incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. 8. SUSPENSION OR POSTPONEMENT OF REPURCHASE OFFER. The Fund may suspend or postpone its offer in limited circumstances, and only by vote of a majority of the Fund's Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. These circumstances are limited and may include the following: (a) if the repurchase of Shares would cause the Fund to lose its status as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;
N-23C3A6th Page of 11TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
(b) for any period during which the NYSE or any other market in which the portfolio securities owned by the Fund are principally traded is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or during which trading in such market is restricted; (c) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable, or during which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets; or (d) for such other periods as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of Shareholders of the Fund. You will be notified if the Fund suspends or postpones the offer, and will be notified again if the Fund resumes its offer. 9. TAX CONSEQUENCES. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences, including the federal, state and local tax consequences of Share repurchases. Shares tendered pursuant to the Fund's offer will be treated as a taxable sale of the Shares. Any gain or loss you recognize will be treated as a short-term capital gain or loss if you held your Shares less than twelve months and as a long-term capital gain or loss if you held your Shares for more than twelve months. However, if you have held your Shares for six months or less and received a net capital gain distribution, any loss recognized on the Share repurchase will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the net capital gain distribution. In addition, the loss realized on a Share repurchase will be disallowed to the extent a Shareholder repurchases (or enters into a contract to or option to repurchase) Shares within a period of 61 days (beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the disposition of the Shares). 10. DOCUMENTS IN GOOD ORDER. The Fund will have the sole discretion to determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of repurchase requests. The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all eligible repurchase requests or to refuse to accept for payment, purchase or pay for any Shares if, in the opinion of the Fund, doing so would be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the offer's conditions or any defect in any repurchase request. The Fund's determinations and interpretations of the terms and conditions of the offer shall be final and binding. Unless waived, any defects in a repurchase request must be corrected within a time period set by the Fund. A repurchase request will not be considered eligible until any defects have been corrected or waived. 11. REPURCHASE OFFER CONSEQUENCES; EXPENSES. Repurchases of Shares will have the effect of decreasing the size of the Fund and increasing both the proportionate interest in the Fund of Shareholders who do not tender Shares and the Fund's expenses as a percentage of average net assets. A reduction in the aggregate assets of the Fund may result in Shareholders who do not tender Shares bearing higher costs to the extent that certain expenses borne by the Fund are relatively fixed and may not decrease if assets decline. Further, interest on any borrowings to finance Share repurchase transactions may reduce the Fund's returns. These effects may be reduced or eliminated to the extent that additional subscriptions for Shares are made from time to time.
