Material Changes and Corporate Actions
- Annual Meeting Timing: The Board approved holding the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders at a date later than 30 days from the anniversary of the previous year's meeting (June 26, 2025). This decision aims to provide shareholders a reprieve from recent non-routine actions, including a Q2 2025 rights offering, a contested annual meeting in June 2025, and a special meeting in September 2025.
- Notice Deadlines: Due to the delayed meeting date, the deadline for shareholder nominations and proposals will shift. Notice must be delivered between the 150th day prior to the meeting and the later of the 120th day prior or the 10th day following the public announcement of the meeting date.
- Trustee Removal Threshold Amendment: The Board approved a recommendation to shareholders to amend the Declaration of Trust. The amendment lowers the voting threshold required to remove a Trustee for "Cause" from 75% to 66.67% for both shareholder-initiated and Trustee-initiated removals.
