The fund's Board of Trustees amended its by-laws on February 24, 2022, to suspend the control share by-law after a federal court ruled against the provision in a lawsuit brought by Saba Capital Management. The Board says it intends to appeal the District Court's decision, and the control share provision would be automatically reinstated if that judgment is reversed or nullified, which matters to shareholders because it affects how large holders of common shares can vote.
February 18, 2022: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted summary judgment in favor of Saba on its claims for rescission and declaratory judgment
February 24, 2022: Board amended the by-laws so the control share by-law has no force and effect while the court judgment remains effective
If the judgment is reversed, overturned, vacated, stayed, or otherwise nullified, the control share by-law is automatically reinstated
