    CUSIP No. 55607W100SCHEDULE 13D/APage 5 of 8 Pages

     

    Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
       
      This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on 2/28/2024, with respect to the Common Shares.  This Amendment No. 1 amends Items 3, 4 and 5 below.
       
      The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant.

     

    Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
       
      Funds for the purchase of the Common Shares were derived from the subscription proceeds from investors and the capital appreciation thereon and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time.  Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein. A total of approximately $3,687,200 was paid to acquire the Common Shares reported herein.

     

    Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
       
      Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
       
      On June 26, 2024, Saba Capital and Mr. Weinstein withdrew their opposition (as previously disclosed in the DEFC14A filed by Saba Capital on January 12, 2024) to the approval of the reorganization of the Issuer into abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund.

     

    Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
       
    (a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of Common Shares and percentages of the Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons. The percentages used herein are calculated based upon 8,547,442 shares of common stock outstanding as of 11/30/23, as disclosed in the company's N-CSR filed 2/8/24.
       
    (b) See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D/A for the number of Common Shares as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.
       

     

    CUSIP No. 55607W100SCHEDULE 13D/APage 6 of 8 Pages

     

     

    (c) The transactions in the Common Shares effected within the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons, which were all in the open market, are set forth in Schedule A, and are incorporated herein by reference.
       
    (d) The funds and accounts advised by Saba Capital have the right to receive the dividends from and proceeds of sales from the Common Shares.
       
    (e) Not applicable.
