Rhea-AI Filing Summary

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. reports beneficial ownership of 149 Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II, representing 11.30% of the preferred class. The filing explains that JPM acquired the shares and on June 27, 2024 deposited them into a tender option bond trust (J.P. Morgan Putters/Drivers, Series 5061 Trust) which holds title but does not have power to dispose of the shares. Voting rights for those shares were assigned in part to a Voting Trust on June 12, 2024; the Voting Consultant makes recommendations to the Voting Trustee, who follows those recommendations when voting. The amendment reflects the August 1, 2025 reorganization of related PIMCO funds and reports the resulting ownership percentage.

Insights

TL;DR: JPM reports a passive 11.3% preferred stake with voting rights partially placed in a voting trust and economic title held by a TOB.

The filing documents a non-control, passive holding of 149 RVMTP shares representing 11.30% of the preferred class. Economically, the shares were transferred into a TOB that holds title but lacks dispositive power, preserving JPMorgan's retained ability to direct voting through a Voting Trust structure. The arrangement separates economic ownership from voting mechanics, which is relevant for governance signal interpretation but does not indicate an intent to change control. The disclosure of the post-reorganization ownership percentage clarifies stakeholder distribution following consolidation of funds.

TL;DR: The Voting Trust and TOB arrangements limit direct control while centralizing voting recommendations with a consultant and trustee.

The described structure—assignment of voting rights to a Voting Trust with a Voting Consultant making binding recommendations to the Voting Trustee, combined with title held by a TOB—creates governance separation between economic interest and voting decision execution. For governance analysis, this means voting outcomes on the RVMTP shares will be driven by the Voting Consultant's recommendations implemented by the Voting Trustee, not by the TOB that holds title. The filing asserts ordinary-course acquisition and denies any control-seeking purpose, consistent with a Schedule 13G/A disclosure.
