**<u>STOP SABA</u>**

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Saba Capital is an activist hedge fund that is in the business of **targeting the closed-end fund industry**. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | We believe they are a **"value extractor"**—not a long-term value creator and investor. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Their **commitment is not to you**, but to their hedge funds. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Certain market commentary has described Boaz Weinstein, founder of Saba Capital, as a **"chancer"**—a term commonly used to describe someone who seek to exploit opportunities and structural inefficiencies to advance their own objectives.<sup>1</sup> |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | **Saba has been selling shares of GDV since July 2025** —despite claiming alignment with GDV shareholders. ***Are those the actions of someone aligned with fund shareholders? We believe those are the actions of an opportunistic activist investor.*** |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | **If you vote on Saba's "GOLD" proxy card, you will be DISENFRANCHISED as to your ability to elect a full slate of trustees because Saba has only nominated one nominee and their proxy card names only that nominee.** |

---

**<u>How do you protect your investment?</u>**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ✓ | Sign, date, and mail all **WHITE** proxy cards you receive, with a vote **FOR** the election of Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., Colin J. Kilrain, Salvatore J. Zizza, and Anthony S. Colavita—who have extensive experience and service with registered closed-end funds generally and with this Fund, its objective, strategies and service providers. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ✓ | **Do not** sign or vote any Gold proxy card sent to you by Saba. Doing so—even an "Against" or "Abstain" vote on Saba's Gold proxy card—could negate your support of your Fund's Board of Trustees. |
