On January 26, 2023, the fund's Board of Trustees voted to exempt, until further notice, all prior and new purchases of fund shares that might otherwise be deemed control share acquisitions under the fund's by-laws. The move follows a January 23, 2023 Massachusetts Superior Court ruling in litigation brought by Saba Capital Master Fund, which held that the control share by-law violates Section 18(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For shareholders, the exemption removes the by-law's limit on voting rights for shares acquired in such transactions, and the litigation remains ongoing.
