AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · WESTERN ASSET INFLATION-LINKED INCOME FUND (WIA)

Western Asset Inflation-Linked Income Fund amends bylaws, adds control share limits

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 shareholder Written later

Effective November 2, 2020, the Fund's board amended and restated its bylaws. The main change limits voting rights for shares acquired in a Control Share Acquisition unless other shareholders approve those rights, which the filing says is meant to reduce the risk of undue influence by any single holder. The bylaws also change board election voting, advance notice rules and meeting procedures.

Key points

  • Effective November 2, 2020, the board adopted amended and restated bylaws.
  • A Control Share Acquisition starts at one-tenth or more of all voting power; acquirers' voting rights generally require approval by other shareholders.
  • Board members must now be elected by a majority of all votes entitled to be cast, replacing the plurality standard.
  • Shareholders may not call special meetings; the filing says the Board of Trustees sets meeting dates.
