Why It Matters
The re-elections maintain the current board composition and governance continuity through the 2029 Annual Meeting. Ratification of Cohen & Company confirms the auditor who will conduct the Fund’s fiscal 2026 audit (year ending Sept. 30, 2026), which is relevant to financial reporting and auditor oversight. The reported vote percentages show strong shareholder approval for the auditor and clear, though not unanimous, support for the trustee re-elections.
