The filing lists 1,484,400 shares beneficially owned and states Karpus has sole voting and dispositive power over those shares. The position is disclosed as managed accounts of Karpus, which is controlled by CLIG but reports informational barriers.
Cash‑flow treatment and intentions (active trading, disposition plans) are not stated in the excerpt; subsequent filings would disclose any change in status or plans.
The filing follows Schedule 13G passive-investor disclosure conventions and notes informational barriers with CLIG.
The disclosure cites SEC Release No. 34-39538 and explains that attribution to CLIG is not required because Karpus exercises voting and investment power independently. The filing is signed by the Chief Compliance Officer, dated 06/05/2026.

Schedule 13Gregulatory
"This statement is being filed by Karpus Management, Inc."
A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
beneficially ownedfinancial
"Amount beneficially owned: 1,484,400.00"
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.
sole dispositive powerregulatory
"Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 1,484,400.00"
Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.
