SEC Form SC 13D/A filed by First Trust/Aberdeen Global Opportunity Income Fund (Amendment)

The following constitutes Amendment No. 12 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 12”). This Amendment No. 12 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. 

Item 2(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)    This statement is filed by:

(i)    Karpus Management, Inc., d/b/a Karpus Investment Management (“Karpus”). Karpus is a registered investment adviser under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Karpus is controlled by City of London Investment Group plc (“CLIG”), which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. However, in accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), effective informational barriers have been established between Karpus and CLIG such that voting and investment power over the subject securities is exercised by Karpus independently of CLIG, and, accordingly, attribution of beneficial ownership is not required between Karpus and CLIG. The shares to which this Amendment No. 12 relates are owned directly by the accounts managed by Karpus;

Set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto (“Schedule A”) is the name and present principal business, occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted of the executive officers and directors of Karpus. To the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, except as otherwise set forth on Schedule A, none of the persons listed on Schedule A beneficially owns any securities of the Issuer or is a party to any contract, agreement or understanding required to be disclosed herein.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Karpus, an independent registered investment advisor, has accumulated 1,437,017 Shares on behalf of accounts that are managed by Karpus (the “Accounts”) under limited powers of attorney, which represents 14.18% of the outstanding Shares. All funds that have been utilized in making such purchases for the Accounts (which are open market purchases unless otherwise noted) are from such Accounts.

The aggregate purchase price of the 1,437,017 Shares beneficially owned by Karpus Investment Management is approximately $14,483,678, excluding brokerage commissions. Such Shares were purchased with working capital (which may at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases except as otherwise noted.

Item 5A. is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each Reporting Person is based upon 10,136,829 Shares outstanding, as indicated on the Issuer’s Schedule TO-1/A filed on February 17, 2021.

  Percentage:  Approximately 14.18%

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer that it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that it does not directly own.
