Special Opportunities Fund asks SEC staff to review three proposed anti-takeover bylaws

Neutral legal/regulatory Written later 7.01

The fund sent a December 2, 2019 letter asking the SEC Division of Investment Management whether proposed bylaws on share ownership limits, majority voting for directors and continuing directors would violate the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board has not adopted any of the proposed bylaws and says it will consider the staff's determination before acting, so no change to shareholder rights has taken effect.

  • Letter dated December 2, 2019 to the SEC Division of Investment Management, filed under Regulation FD on December 3, 2019
  • Three proposed bylaws: a share ownership limitation, a majority voting requirement for director election, and a continuing director bylaw
  • The Board has taken no action to adopt the proposed bylaws and will await the staff's determination

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the AI's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.

Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
