Boaz Weinstein provided the following written statements to members of the media.

"[ICI] is a lobbying group and a surrogate frequently deployed by BlackRock and other managers when they cannot defend unacceptable performance."

"The blame for a lack of closed-end fund issuance sits squarely with managers – not investors – considering the steep discounts and poor governance that persists under their watch."

"Saba's actions have proven to be helpful, not harmful, for long-term shareholders of the closed-end funds we invest in. The secret is our medicine always works – shareholders all gain when offered a significant narrowing or total elimination of discounts to net asset value."
