XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust reports that shareholders approved a new investment sub-advisory agreement with Rockford Tower Asset Management, L.L.C. (the King Street Sub-Adviser) at a reconvened special meeting on August 6, 2026. The Trust, its Adviser and the King Street Sub-Adviser then entered into this New Sub-Advisory Agreement on August 10, 2026.
The agreement has an initial term of two years and can continue year-to-year if annually approved by the Board of Trustees or a majority of outstanding voting securities, and by a majority of trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, the Adviser or the King Street Sub-Adviser. It may be terminated by the Trust or the Adviser on 60 days’ written notice to the sub-adviser, or by the sub-adviser on 60 days’ written notice to the Trust and Adviser, and it automatically terminates upon assignment or if the Trust’s advisory agreement with the Adviser ends.
Octagon Credit Investors and aligned shareholders are urging XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust investors to vote against approving a new sub‑advisory agreement that would replace Octagon with Rockford Tower Asset Management, a King Street affiliate. The solicitation argues that XFLT’s weak record—NAV falling from $48.90 at the 2017 IPO to $22.30 at March 31, 2026 and only 3.8% cumulative NAV total return since FY2022—is driven by the adviser XA’s asset‑allocation choices, especially maintaining roughly 35–40% of the portfolio in CLO equity, rather than Octagon’s security selection.
The materials highlight XFLT’s current 1.70% management fee on managed assets, noting that nearly half of the portfolio is in broadly syndicated loans, and contrast this with Octagon’s counter‑proposal to cut the fee to 1.30%, simplify the management structure, and prioritize discount‑reducing actions such as buybacks or a tender offer. They also cite an Egan‑Jones research piece recommending a vote against the change, referencing governance concerns including a higher fee share for XA, board ties to the adviser, and limited transparency around the sub‑adviser search. A separate shareholder analysis emphasizes XFLT’s roughly $17.55 market price versus $22.91 NAV as of June 30, 2026, about a 23% discount, and estimates about $9.18 per share of unrealized markdowns as potential upside if CLO markets recover.
XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust has appointed Rockford Tower Asset Management, L.L.C., a King Street affiliate, as interim sub-adviser after terminating its prior sub-advisory agreement with Octagon Credit Investors, LLC, effective July 30, 2026. A shareholder vote on a new sub-advisory agreement has been adjourned to August 6, 2026 to continue soliciting proxies.
The Trust’s investment adviser, investment objective, principal investment policies and advisory fee rate remain unchanged. The Adviser continues to receive an advisory fee of 1.70% of average daily Managed Assets, with the King Street sub-adviser earning 52% of that advisory fee. A related reimbursement limitation agreement caps reimbursable sub-adviser expenses at 0.07% per annum of average daily net assets, with potential reimbursement for up to three years, subject to overall operating expense limits. The interim agreement expires on the earlier of shareholder approval of the new agreement or the 150th day after effectiveness. Young Choi becomes lead portfolio manager, joined by portfolio manager Terry Ing.
Octagon Credit Investors, a major shareholder of XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust (XFLT), is soliciting votes against approval of a new sub-advisory agreement at the July 30, 2026 special meeting. Octagon criticizes the Board’s liquidity plan, which includes small, contingent tender offers conditioned on approval of the new sub-adviser, and argues these steps will not maximize long-term value.
Octagon instead advocates a “Better Path Forward” that includes converting XFLT into a 10‑year term trust, conducting an unconditional tender offer for 25% of outstanding shares, and cutting the Fund’s management fee from 1.7% to 1.3% per year. It also calls for simplifying the management structure by appointing Octagon as primary adviser and reconstituting the Board with what it describes as shareholder-focused trustees. Octagon urges shareholders to use its BLUE proxy card to vote against the new sub‑adviser proposal.
XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust’s current sub-adviser, Octagon Credit Investors, is running a proxy campaign urging shareholders to vote AGAINST a proposed new sub-advisory agreement at a special meeting on July 30, 2026. The proposal would replace Octagon with Rockford Tower Asset Management as sub-adviser.
Octagon contends that its stewardship since the Fund’s 2017 inception has produced portfolio outperformance versus relevant indices and peers, and argues that changing to Rockford Tower would primarily increase the adviser XAI’s share of fees without reducing overall management fees or meaningfully changing the Fund’s structure. It criticizes the Board’s process and independence and advocates an alternative plan focused on lower fees, a simplified management structure, potential tenders for shares, and reconstituting the Board to prioritize closing the Fund’s trading discount to net asset value. Octagon is soliciting votes using a BLUE proxy card.
