The Fund has generated excellent year-to-date performance through August 31, 2019, with positive returns of 29.10% based on market price, outperforming the Morningstar U.S. Closed-end High Yield Fund Category ("Morningstar Category") average total return of 16.51%, over the same period. Additionally, the Fund has outperformed the Morningstar Category average total return based on market price for each of the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ended June 30, 2019.

Mr. Amato further noted that "We have been very encouraged by the response of stockholders to date and it is clear that the Fund's stockholders understand that Saba's proposals would significantly harm their long-term interests."
