On February 24, 2022, the fund's board adopted an amendment to its by-laws that suspends the control share by-law, which would have limited voting rights for shareholders who acquire large stakes, after a U.S. District Court granted summary judgment to Saba Capital on February 18, 2022. The control share provision will automatically reinstate if the court's judgment is reversed, overturned, vacated, stayed or otherwise nullified, and the board intends to appeal the ruling.
Board adopted Amendment No. 1 to the by-laws on February 24, 2022, suspending the Control Share By-Law.

The by-law would be reinstated if the District Court judgment is reversed, overturned, vacated, stayed or otherwise nullified.
