ARES STRATEGIC INCOME FUND 8-K

What Happened Ares Strategic Income Fund (filed 8-K on June 26, 2026) announced that its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, called to order on June 24, 2026, was adjourned by the chairman because a quorum was not present. The meeting will reconvene virtually on July 22, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time at the same link used originally (www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ASIF2026). The Fund reminded shareholders the record date for voting remains March 27, 2026.

Key Details

• Meeting adjourned: June 24, 2026 due to lack of quorum (quorum = holders of 50% of outstanding shares entitled to vote).
• Reconvened meeting date/time: July 22, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. ET (virtual at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ASIF2026).
• Record date for voting: March 27, 2026 (unchanged).
• Proxy/vote guidance: Shareholders who already voted need not act again; shareholders who haven’t voted are encouraged to authorize their proxy before July 21, 2026. The Fund referenced its definitive proxy statement filed April 3, 2026.

Why It Matters Adjournment for lack of quorum delays shareholder votes on the proposals in the Fund’s proxy statement and may require additional outreach to secure votes. For investors, the reconvened date and unchanged record date mean only holders of record as of March 27, 2026 can vote, and previously submitted votes remain valid unless changed. Shareholders who want their vote counted should follow the Fund’s instructions and consider voting or reaffirming their proxies before July 21, 2026.
