Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund suspends control share by-law after court ruling
The fund's board adopted an amendment on February 24, 2022, suspending the control share provision of its by-laws. The change followed a February 18, 2022 U.S. District Court summary judgment in favor of Saba Capital Management on claims that the provision violates the Investment Company Act of 1940. The by-law would be automatically reinstated if the court's judgment is reversed, overturned, vacated, stayed or otherwise nullified, and the board intends to appeal.
