BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On October 21, 2024, the Massachusetts Superior Court issued a final ruling in favor of the Funds, rejecting a challenge by Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd. to the voting standard in the funds’ by-laws governing trustee elections. The by-laws set a voting standard requiring the support of a majority of a fund’s outstanding shares to elect a trustee in a contested election. Following a September bench trial, the court found the majority standard was consistent with shareholder voting rights under the funds’ governing documents and federal law.

George Gorman, Chair of the Board of Trustees of each of the Funds, commented: “As a Board, we are gratified by the Court’s thorough and well-reasoned decision, which we believe is fully supported by the ample trial evidence.”

The Boards thank shareholders for their continued support of the Funds.
