According to our records, you have not voted on an important proposal at this year’s Special Meeting.
Unless a sufficient number of stockholders vote by June 7, 2024, at 10:00 am, the Fund will not be able to implement the proposal without adjourning the stockholder meeting to a later date, and possibly incurring additional proxy solicitation costs.
It’s extremely important that you participate in the management of your investment by voting.
