Except as described in this supplement, the information provided in the Saba Proxy Statement continues to apply and this supplement should be read in conjunction with the Saba Proxy Statement. To the extent the following information differs from, updates or conflicts with information contained in the Saba Proxy Statement, the supplemental information below is more current.

Supplemental Disclosures

 

According to the Fund’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the SEC on July 23, 2024 (the “Fund’s Proxy Statement”), the Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held at the principal office of the Fund, One Post Office Square, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, on Monday, September 9, 2024 at 11:30 a.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 June 28, 2024 (the “Record Date”). As of the Record Date, the Fund had 17,961,289 Common Shares outstanding.

 

Based on the Fund’s Proxy Statement, the Board is currently comprised of ten trustees divided into three classes. Each class is elected for a term of three years, with the term of one class of trustees expiring at each annual meeting of the shareholders. At the Annual Meeting, three Class I trustees are to be elected by holders of the Common Shares, each for a three-year term expiring at the Fund’s 2027 annual meeting of shareholders.

 

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:

 

·

signing, dating and returning the GOLD proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided or signing, dating and returning a white proxy card (the latest dated proxy is the only one that counts);

 

·

delivering a written revocation to the secretary of the Fund at Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110; or

 

·

attending the Annual Meeting and voting by ballot in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).

 

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 [phone] or collect at [phone].

 

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” of the Nominees in the Proposal.

 

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