Allspring Global Investments Holdings, LLC filed Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G for Western Asset Premier Bond Fund (WEA). As of 30 June 2025, the firm beneficially owns 524,049 shares (Mutual Fund Shares Beneficial Interest), representing 4.4 % of the outstanding class. It reports sole voting power over 287,071 shares and sole dispositive power over the full 524,049 shares; no shared voting or dispositive power is indicated. The filing states that the securities are held in the ordinary course for advisory clients of Allspring’s subsidiaries (Exhibit A) and that the filer does not seek to change or influence control of the issuer. Because ownership is now below the 5 % threshold, the document is classified as “Ownership of 5 Percent or Less of a Class.” No financial results, strategic actions, or control transactions are disclosed.
