Special Opportunities Fund, Bulldog Investors LLP and High Income Securities Fund filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts over the April 3, 2023 annual meeting of First Trust Dynamic Europe Equity Income Fund (FDEU). The action seeks to enforce votes for the Fund's nominees to FDEU's Board of Trustees, which the plaintiffs say the incumbent board improperly refused to count. The filing discloses the litigation but does not give a financial result for the Fund.
The press release announcing the lawsuit is dated May 11, 2023 and is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The lawsuit seeks a declaration that the Fund's nominees received a majority of the votes that would have been cast but for the incumbent board's refusal to count them.
The lawsuit also asks the court to declare FDEU's control share bylaw, which limits voting rights beyond certain ownership thresholds, invalid under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
