On February 24, 2022, the Fund's Board of Trustees adopted an amendment suspending the by-laws' control share provision, which limits voting rights for holders who acquire common shares in a Control Share Acquisition unless other shareholders approve. The change follows a February 18, 2022 ruling in which the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted summary judgment to Saba Capital Management on its claims that the provision violates the Investment Company Act of 1940. The by-law would be automatically reinstated if that judgment is reversed or nullified, and the Board and the Funds intend to appeal, so shareholders' voting rights for acquirers may change depending on the appeal outcome.

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.
