Effective November 2, 2020, the fund's board amended and restated its bylaws, including a new control share acquisition provision that limits voting rights for shares acquired in large stakes unless other shareholders approve. The changes also tighten shareholder nomination rules and raise the vote required to elect trustees to a majority of all votes entitled to be cast, which could make it harder for outside holders to influence board composition.
Bylaws amended and restated effective November 2, 2020, per the 8-K dated November 5, 2020.
