Bulldog Investors Urges Shareholders of XFLT to Vote No at Special Meeting

Bulldog Investors, a major shareholder of XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust (NYSE: XFLT), with 310,000 shares, says it will vote “no” at XFLT’s July 30 special meeting on a new sub-advisory agreement with Octagon Credit Investors unless shareholders can monetize near NAV. XFLT shifted from a term trust to a perpetual fund in Dec 2023; shares have since fallen to about $17.65, ~20% below NAV. Bulldog argues liquidation could yield ~30% more than current market value.
