Massachusetts Court Rules that Eaton Vance and its Fund Trustees Violated Federal Law by Stripping Shareholders’ Voting Rights

Massachusetts Court Rules that Eaton Vance and its Fund Trustees Violated Federal Law by Stripping Shareholders’ Voting Rights

Saba Capital Comments on Court’s Decision to Uphold the Investment Company Act, A Win for Closed-End Fund Shareholders

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Saba Capital Management, L.P. and certain associated parties (collectively “Saba” or “we”) today commented on the outcome of the lawsuit brought in the Suffolk County Superior Court in Massachusetts (the “Court”) by four closed-end funds advised by Eaton Vance – the Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust (NYSE: EVF), Eaton Vance Senior Floating-Rate Trust (NYSE: EFR), Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust (NYSE: EFT) and Eaton Vance Limited-Duration Fund (NYSE: EVV) (the “Funds”) – and the following fund trustees: Thomas E. Faust, Jr., Mark R. Fetting, Cynthia E. Frost, George J. Gorman, Valerie A. Mosley, William H. Park, Helen F. Peters, Keith Quinton, Marcus L. Smith, Susan J. Sutherland and Scott E. Wennerholm.

On July 15, 2020, Eaton Vance sued for declaratory judgement on the validity of its actions to strip away voting rights from closed-end fund shareholders through the adoption of a Control Share Amendment to its bylaws. On January 21, 2023, the Court issued a summary judgement ruling in favor of Saba and invalidating Eaton Vance’s control share provision as a violation of the Investment Company Act. In its ruling, the Court agreed with the 2022 ruling by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in a prior lawsuit Saba brought against Nuveen that found the restrictive use of control share bylaws to violate federal law.

Michael D’Angelo, Partner and General Counsel of Saba, commented:

“The Court’s ruling is an important win for closed-end fund shareholders as it upholds the Investment Company Act and the protection it provides for the voting rights of every shareholder. Not only does the ruling rescind Eaton Vance’s control share provision, but it puts all closed-end funds on notice that any attempts to entrench trustees and investment advisors that violate the law will not be tolerated. Eaton Vance used this illegal amendment to strip voting rights in order to facilitate the approval of new investment advisory agreements needed in connection with the sale of Eaton Vance to Morgan Stanley. Had the law not been broken, we believe the significant losses suffered by shareholders could have been mitigated.”

Aurinia Announces PTAB Has Terminated Inter Partes Review

VICTORIA, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUPH) (Aurinia) announces that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the United States’ Patent and Trademark Office has terminated the Inter Partes Review (IPR) it had instituted with respect to Aurinia’s U.S. Patent No. 10,286,036.

About LUPKYNIS

LUPKYNIS is the first FDA-approved oral therapy for LN. LN causes irreversible kidney damage and significantly increases the risk of kidney failure, cardiac events, and death. It is one of the most serious and common complications of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). LUPKYNIS is in the United States (U.S.) and across the European Union (E.U).

About Lupus Nephritis

LN is a serious manifestation of SLE, a chronic and complex autoimmune disease. About 200,000-300,000 people live with SLE in the U.S. and about one-third of these people are diagnosed with lupus nephritis at the time of their SLE diagnosis. About 50 percent of all people with SLE may develop lupus nephritis. If poorly controlled, LN can lead to permanent and irreversible tissue damage within the kidney. Black and Asian individuals with SLE are four times more likely to develop LN and individuals of Hispanic ancestry are approximately twice as likely to develop the disease when compared with Caucasian individuals. Black and Hispanic individuals with SLE also tend to develop LN earlier and have poorer outcomes when compared to Caucasian individuals.

About Aurinia

Aurinia Pharmaceuticals is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering therapies to treat targeted patient populations that are impacted by serious diseases with a high unmet medical need. In January 2021, the Company introduced LUPKYNIS® (voclosporin), the first FDA-approved oral therapy for the treatment of adult patients with active lupus nephritis (LN). The Company’s head office is in Victoria, British Columbia, its U.S. commercial hub is in Rockville, Maryland, and the Company focuses its development efforts globally.

New SAIC Cloud Survey Highlights Federal Government’s Challenges and Successes with Multi-cloud Services and Solutions

New SAIC Cloud Survey Highlights Federal Government’s Challenges and Successes with Multi-cloud Services and Solutions

SAIC-sponsored independent research finds federal agencies are adopting cloud and exploring the benefits of DevSecOps and artificial intelligence (AI)

RESTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Science Applications International Corp. (NYSE: SAIC) announced today findings from an independent survey of defense and civilian federal government employees identifying the current status, challenges and success in implementation and utilization of cloud, DevSecOps and AI.

“SAIC commissioned this new research because government leaders face unique challenges that must be thoroughly understood in order to accelerate adoption of cost-effective secure multi-cloud solutions,” stated Bob Ritchie, chief technology officer at SAIC. “The survey results uncover not just technology opportunities and challenges government leaders face in leveraging cloud for strategic advantage, but also the realities of the state of DevSecOps and AI maturity within government. To optimize valuable innovation, technical experts and business leaders must embrace strategic and agile collaboration.”

Conducted by Market Connections, a portfolio platform of GovExec, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the survey polled IT and business influencers and decision makers in the federal government regarding IT and digital services within their agencies.

The survey results revealed:

  • Most federal agencies use at least one cloud provider, and 70% use two or more. However, when consuming services from one or multiple clouds, insufficient budgeting and forecasting are considerable cost challenges.
  • Even though a majority of federal agencies are at some stage of the DevSecOps implementation process, more than half (54%) of the respondents say integration is the most difficult component of deploying a DevSecOps solution.
  • AI is on federal agencies’ radars, but 57% of respondents cite policy and governance as a top barrier to implementing AI.

More survey findings, along with the accompanying white paper, are being made available to attendees at the SAIC sponsored government and industry conference OutFront 2023, which is being held today in Rosslyn, VA.

CONMEBOL Libertadores is the most prestigious football club tournament in South America. It brings together the best performing clubs from the ten most popular countries in the region in this sport. It begins in January with the qualifying phase and runs until November, when the final takes place, with approximately 156 matches that are broadcasted around the world.

“For Mastercard, football is a passion that transcends boundaries and unites people around the world beyond differences and geographic borders. Supporting CONMEBOL is consistent with Mastercard’s commitment to connect people with their passions, from the excitement of a goal to the sheer joy of a match,” said Roberto Ramírez Laverde, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Latin America and the Caribbean.

Mastercard, as the official sponsor in the financial services and payment services category of CONMEBOL Libertadores and CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina, will work throughout the year with CONMEBOL to create campaigns and promotions for its customers, as well as special activations and Priceless experiences for Mastercard cardholders and football fans.

“CONMEBOL values the support of a global company like Mastercard for two of its most important tournaments, the CONMEBOL Libertadores and the CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina. This partnership is the result of a shared vision by CONMEBOL and this prestigious company on the importance of supporting South American football and giving fans around the world a unique experience”, said Alejandro Domínguez, President of CONMEBOL.

A brand that connects

In line with its inclusion efforts, this is an explicit recognition of the sporting performance of female football players and a clear contribution by Mastercard to equal opportunities in sports. This new sponsorship of CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina is added to the sponsorship of the CONMEBOL Copa América Femenina, where Brazil was crowned champion in the most recent edition held in Colombia in 2022. This also strengthens the work that CONMEBOL has been doing to continue growing women’s football in all its categories and reinforcing its FOOTBALL IS FOOTBALL campaign: no matter who plays, we all feel the same passion.

Through this partnership with CONMEBOL, Mastercard reinforces its commitment to support football in the region and women in different areas and stages of their lives, as well as equality in sports; and reflects its brand purpose of connecting people with priceless possibilities.

For Mastercard, improving conditions for women’s sports is one more way to promote an equal future, and gender equality is a necessary condition for building a better society and a more prosperous economy. Because it is a fact that the participation of women in all areas creates diversity, which improves the human and economic performance of any social group.

CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina is now part of Mastercard’s sponsorship portfolio with CONMEBOL, which includes CONMEBOL Libertadores, CONMEBOL Copa América and CONMEBOL Copa América Femenina.

Over the past decade, Mastercard has developed one of the most well-rounded women’s sports portfolios globally. This investment includes partnerships across tennis, golf, soccer, and rugby, as well as sponsoring players, teams, and events.
