Supplemental Disclosures

According to the Fund’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the SEC on April 25, 2024 (the “Fund’s Proxy Statement”), the Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held at 1 University Square Drive, Princeton, NJ, 08540, on Monday, June 17, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time). According to the Fund’s Proxy Statement, the Fund has set the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting as April 22, 2024 (the “Record Date”). As of the Record Date, the Fund had outstanding 30,063,645 Common Shares and 1,713 Preferred Shares.

If you have already voted using the Fund’s white proxy card, you have every right to change your vote by completing and mailing a GOLD proxy card or by voting via Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the GOLD proxy card. You may change your proxy instructions or revoke your proxy by following the instructions under “Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?” copied below.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

If you are the shareholder of record, you may change your proxy instructions or revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. Proxies may be revoked by any of the following actions:

If your shares are held in a brokerage account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. If you attend the Annual Meeting and you beneficially own Common Shares but are not the record owner, your mere attendance at the Annual Meeting WILL NOT be sufficient to revoke any previously submitted proxy card. You must have written authority from the record owner to vote your shares held in its name at the meeting in the form of a “legal proxy” issued in your name from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares. If you have any questions or require any assistance with voting your shares, please contact our proxy solicitor, InvestorCom, toll free at (877) 972-0090 or collect at (203) 972-9300.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY VOTED USING THE FUND’S WHITE PROXY CARD, WE URGE YOU TO REVOKE IT BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to the Fund, we request that a copy of any revocation be mailed to Saba Capital Management, L.P., c/o InvestorCom, 19 Old Kings Highway S., Suite 130, Darien, CT 06820, so that we will be aware of all revocations.

We urge you to sign, date and return the GOLD proxy card to vote “FOR ALL” the Nominees in Proposal 1(a) AND “FOR” the Shareholder Proposal. We are making no recommendation on Proposal 1(b).

If you have any questions or require any assistance with voting your proxy card, please contact our proxy solicitor:
