On February 28, 2024, the board of trustees of the Nuveen New York AMT-Free Quality Municipal Income Fund adopted amended and restated by-laws that eliminate the fund's "control share" provisions. The change is administrative: the provisions had already been suspended since February 24, 2022, and the filing says the rest of the by-laws are unchanged.
Board adopted amended and restated by-laws on February 28, 2024.
The "control share" provisions were eliminated; their effectiveness had been suspended since February 24, 2022.
Apart from this change, the amended by-laws are identical to the prior by-laws.
The fund's board, along with boards of other Nuveen and TIAA-CREF fund complex boards, approved consolidating board membership so the funds are overseen by the same members. Four trustees will join the fund's board effective January 1, 2024, and two current trustees are expected to retire December 31, 2023; the company says this should generate cost savings that benefit shareholders.
Board size set at 12 members effective January 1, 2024
Joseph A. Boateng, Michael A. Forrester, Thomas J. Kenny and Loren M. Starr appointed as independent board members effective January 1, 2024

On February 24, 2022, the fund's Board of Trustees amended the by-laws to suspend the control share provision, which limited voting rights for shares acquired in a control share acquisition unless other shareholders approved. The change follows a February 18, 2022 U.S. District Court summary judgment in favor of Saba Capital Management, which had claimed the provision violates Section 18(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board and the funds intend to appeal, and the provision would be automatically reinstated if the judgment is reversed or nullified.
Saba Capital Management filed the civil complaint on January 14, 2021.
The District Court granted summary judgment for Saba on February 18, 2022.
The Board amended the by-laws on February 24, 2022, suspending the control share by-law.
The by-law reinstates automatically if the District Court judgment is reversed, overturned, vacated, stayed or otherwise nullified.
