[Form 4] Worthington Steel, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Effective June 30, 2025, the Statement of Additional Information (SAI) for John Hancock Financial Opportunities Fund (ticker BTO), John Hancock Investors Trust and John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund is updated to reflect two governance changes:

• Paul Lorentz has resigned as a non-independent Trustee of each fund.
• Kristie M. Feinberg, already serving as each fund’s President and CEO of John Hancock Investment Management, has been appointed as a non-independent Trustee effective the same date and will stand for shareholder election in 2026.

The SAI now lists Ms. Feinberg’s extensive leadership background, including her roles at Manulife Investment Management, Invesco and Oppenheimer Funds, underscoring her experience in finance, strategy and product distribution. The board-class assignment for the Financial Opportunities Fund and Premium Dividend Fund places her term expiring in 2026. The John Hancock Fund Complex comprises 186 funds as of April 30, 2025.

No portfolio, financial or strategic policy changes are disclosed; the supplement is solely a board-composition update, to be read in conjunction with the current SAI.

Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Routine trustee rotation; governance impact minimal, investment thesis unchanged.

The filing records a normal board transition: Paul Lorentz exits, Kristie Feinberg joins as non-independent Trustee while retaining her President role. Her deep asset-management résumé adds relevant expertise, but because she is already the funds’ CEO, her new board seat merely formalizes influence she effectively possessed. No disclosure suggests strategic, fee, or policy adjustments. Closed-end fund investors should view the change as administrative; it neither alters distribution policy nor portfolio management. Oversight independence remains intact, as the majority of Trustees are still independent, so regulatory risk is low.
