Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund (BRW) is asking shareholders to approve issuing additional common shares for a proposed reorganization with Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund II. The target fund would transfer all assets to BRW; BRW would assume its liabilities and issue shares with aggregate net asset value equal to the transferred assets, net of liabilities and reorganization costs payable by the target fund. The target fund would distribute the shares to its shareholders and liquidate. The transaction is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 and requires approval by both funds’ shareholders and satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions, including third-party and credit-facility lender consents.
For the annualized period ended April 30, 2026, pro forma annual expenses were 2.13% versus BRW’s 2.12% excluding interest and other direct financing costs, and 5.24% versus 4.82% including interest, dividends and related expenses from borrowings or short sales; pro forma management fees were 1.21% versus BRW’s 1.12%. BRW estimates its reorganization costs, including the special meeting, at $325,000, with actual costs potentially higher or lower. BRW’s current monthly distribution is $0.085 per share, and the combined fund expects to maintain the current monthly rate. The board recommends voting FOR the proposal.
