Record Date regulatory

"The Fund has set the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote as March 12, 2026"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

legal proxy regulatory

"you must have written authority from the record owner to vote your shares in the form of a "legal proxy""

A legal proxy is a formal, legally binding authorization that lets one person cast a shareholder’s votes at a company meeting when the owner cannot attend. Think of it like giving someone a signed permission slip to vote for you on specific items—board elections, pay packages or deals—and it matters because those votes shape who runs the company and what decisions affect the business’s value and strategy.

plurality corporate governance

"the election of the Preferred Shares Nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the Preferred Shares"

GOLD proxy card corporate governance

"We urge you to sign, date and return the GOLD proxy card to vote "FOR" the Nominee"

Supplemental Disclosures

According to the Fund’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the SEC on April 11, 2025 (the “Fund’s Proxy Statement”), the Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held on Monday, May 11, 2026, at 11:30 a.m., ET, at Indian Harbor Yacht Club, 710 Steamboat Road, Greenwich, Connecticut, 06830. 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 March 12, 2026 (the “Record Date”). On the Record Date, there were 87,446,297 Common Shares, 1,907,388 Series H Preferred, 5,804 Series J Preferred, 5,403,016 Series K Preferred, and 21,996,000 Series M Preferred outstanding. As of the close of business on the Record Date, the Participants may be deemed to “beneficially own” (such term as used in Schedule 14A within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 or Rule 16a-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), in the aggregate, 5,191,878 Common Shares (including 1,022 Common Shares held in record name), representing 5.94% of the outstanding Common Shares.

According to the Fund’s Proxy Statement, the election of the Preferred Shares Nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the Preferred Shares that are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the election of trustees at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, at the Annual Meeting, the election of the Preferred Shares Nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the Preferred Shares outstanding and entitled to vote. “Withhold” votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1(b). Any votes received by Saba with respect to the election of the Preferred Shares Nominees on Proposal 1(b) that are marked “against” or “abstain” will be deemed to have the same effect as if they were marked “withhold”.

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 One Corporate Center, Rye, New York 10580-1422; 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 (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, 1055 Washington Boulevard, Suite 520, Stamford, CT 06901, so that we will be aware of all revocations.

We urge you to sign, date and return the GOLD proxy card to vote “FOR” the Nominee in Proposal 1(a).
