Board exempts control share restrictions

2/1/23Feb 1, 2023

On January 26, 2023, the Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund's Board voted to exempt all prior and new share purchases from its Control Share By-Law provisions until further notice, following a Massachusetts Superior Court ruling that the by-law violates Section 18(i) of the Investment Company Act. The decision stems from ongoing litigation with Saba Capital, where the court upheld the Board's fiduciary duty but mandated rescission of the by-law aimed at curbing activist investor influence. This opens voting rights to control share acquisitions. Litigation continues, with appeals pending resolution.
