Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Allspring Multi-Sector Income Fund (ERC) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow ERC and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full ERC filings page.
Allspring Multi-Sector Income Fund is calling an Annual Meeting of Shareholders on February 2, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time in Boston, with the option to attend telephonically. Shareholders of record as of November 28, 2025, when 28,053,782 common shares were outstanding, are asked to vote on the election of three Class I Trustees: incumbent Trustees Isaiah Harris, Jr. and Olivia S. Mitchell, and new nominee Cindy Miller. All Trustees are independent under the Investment Company Act, and the Board is divided into three staggered classes, which is intended to promote stability and a longer-term perspective.
The proxy describes the Board’s leadership structure, including an independent Chair and fully independent Audit and Nominating and Governance Committees. It outlines risk oversight, valuation oversight delegated to Allspring Funds Management, and procedures for shareholders to recommend trustee candidates or communicate with the Board. It also discloses major 5% shareholders, Trustee compensation and share ownership ranges, selection of KPMG LLP as independent auditor, and the Audit Committee’s review of the Fund’s 2025 audited financial statements. The Board unanimously recommends voting FOR each trustee nominee.
