Event date 06/02/2026 Date of event requiring filing of this Schedule 13D/A
beneficially owned financial
"for the aggregate number of Common Shares and percentages of the Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
shared voting power financial
"Shared Voting Power 5,799,399.00"
Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.
shared dispositive power financial
"Shared Dispositive Power 5,799,399.00"
margin account borrowings financial
"and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business"
Schedule 13D/A regulatory
"This /A is being jointly filed by: (i) Saba Capital Management, L.P."
A Schedule 13D/A is an amended disclosure filed with regulators by an investor who already reported owning more than 5% of a company’s shares and needs to update their original filing. Think of it as a public status update that tells markets whether the investor’s ownership, plans, or source of funds have changed; such updates matter because they can signal a push for control, major strategic moves, or increased pressure on management, which can affect stock prices.
percent of class financial
"Percent of class represented by amount in Row (11) 10.47 %"
Percent of class is the portion of a specific category of securities—such as a company’s common shares, preferred shares, or a bond series—that takes part in or approves a corporate action (vote, consent, tender, etc.). Investors watch this number because it reveals how much support or opposition exists within that particular shareholder group; like counting how many members of a club back a proposal, it can determine whether a plan passes or how influence is distributed.
