Last update: Sep 24, 2025
Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund (NYSE: BRW) (the “Fund”), a registered closed-end management investment company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, today announced that its Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the terms of the issuance of transferable rights (“Rights”) to the holders of the Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) as of October 6, 2025 (the “Record Date”). Holders of Rights will be entitled to subscribe for additional Common Shares (the “Offer”) at a discount to the market price of the Common Shares. Various key terms of the Offer are summarized below.
After considering a number of factors, including potential benefits and costs, the Board and the Fund’s investment adviser, Saba Capital Management, L.P. (the “Adviser”), have determined that it is in the best interests of both the Fund and its shareholders to conduct the Offer and increase the assets of the Fund available to take advantage of future investment opportunities that are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective to seek to provide shareholders with a high level of current income, with a secondary goal of capital appreciation.
The first $200,000 of expenses of the Offer will be borne by the Adviser and the remainder, if any, will be borne by the Fund.
The Adviser believes this is an attractive time to raise additional assets for the Fund based on several factors, including the following potential benefits:
Rewards shareholders: This is an opportunity to buy new Common Shares below market price, and potentially NAV, or to realize value from the sale of Rights and potentially benefit from appreciation.
Enhanced liquidity: The Offer creates the potential for increased trading volume and liquidity of Common Shares.
Lower expenses: There is an expected lowering of the Fund’s expenses as a proportion of net assets due to the increase in Fund assets as a result of the Rights offering because the Fund’s fixed costs would be spread over a larger asset base.
Better capitalization on investment opportunities: Raising additional capital would potentially allow the Fund to better capitalize on attractive investment opportunities without having to sell existing positions.
The Fund expects to maintain its current distribution level following the Offer. Additionally, the Fund declared a regular monthly distribution payable on September 30, 2025, with a record date of September 10, 2025, which will not be payable with respect to Common Shares that are issued pursuant to the Offer as such issuance will occur after such record date. Common Shares issued will not receive the monthly distribution expected in October. However, Common Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be entitled to receive the monthly distribution expected to be payable in November.
The Offer will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. The Fund expects to mail subscription certificates evidencing the Rights and a copy of the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus for the Offer to Record Date Shareholders within the United States shortly following the Record Date. To exercise their Rights, shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, custodian or trust company should contact such entity to forward their instructions to either exercise or sell their Rights on their behalf. Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares through a broker, custodian, or trust company should forward their instructions to either exercise or sell their Rights by completing the subscription certificate and delivering it to the subscription agent for the Offer, together with their payment, at one of the locations indicated on the subscription certificate or in the prospectus supplement. If a Record Date Shareholder holds Common Shares directly and wishes to sell their Rights, such Record Date Shareholder must submit their subscription certificate to the subscription agent at least five business days before the Expiration Date.
