Managed Duration Investment Grade Municipal Fund Announces Results of Special Meeting of Shareholders
11 Diciembre 2014 - 8:00AM
Managed Duration Investment Grade Municipal Fund
(NYSE:MZF) (the "Fund") announced today that at a special
meeting of shareholders of the Fund held on December 10, 2014,
shareholders of the Fund approved a new investment advisory
agreement (the "New Agreement") between the Fund and Cutwater
Investor Services Corp., the Fund's investment adviser (the
"Adviser").
The Fund previously announced that MBIA Inc. ("MBIA") and The
Bank of New York Mellon ("BNY Mellon") had reached an agreement
pursuant to which BNY Mellon will acquire MBIA's asset management
business through the purchase of Cutwater Holdings, LLC ("CHL")
(d/b/a Cutwater Asset Management) (the "Transaction"). The Adviser
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CHL, which is currently a
wholly-owned subsidiary of MBIA. As a result of the Transaction,
the Adviser would become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BNY
Mellon. The Transaction is expected to close in the beginning of
the first quarter of 2015. Because consummation of the Transaction
will constitute a change in control of the Adviser, under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the
Transaction will result in the assignment and automatic termination
of the Fund's current investment advisory agreement with the
Adviser (the "Current Agreement"). Accordingly, the New Agreement
was submitted to shareholders of the Fund for approval and the
necessary percentage of shareholders has voted to approve the New
Agreement. The Adviser will continue to provide services to the
Fund pursuant to the Current Agreement until the New Agreement is
executed upon the closing of the Transaction.
