On February 24, 2022, the Fund's Board of Trustees amended the by-laws to suspend the control share provision, which limits voting rights for shareholders who acquire common shares in a control share acquisition. The change followed a February 18, 2022 U.S. District Court summary judgment in favor of Saba Capital Management on its claims that the provision violates Section 18(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board and the Funds intend to appeal the ruling.
