Dear Fellow Stockholder: The Western Asset Global High Income Fund Board and management team are building on our strong track record of delivering significant total returns and distributions to stockholders. Your vote is important because Saba Capital, an activist hedge fund, is looking to gain seats on the Fund’s Board in order to implement its self-interested agenda. We believe Saba Capital is waging a campaign rooted in misinformation and outdated or skewed facts in order to mislead stockholders. The Facts – Driving Strong Performance to Achieve our Investment Objectives |
| | |

| | | | As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had generated better returns1 than its Lipper peer group2 averages over 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. Saba Capital’s misleading claims regarding the Fund’s performance are based on data that is cherry-picked from an outdated one-year period and does not reflect the reality of the Fund’s recent performance.In fact, the Fund has taken significant steps to enhance the quality of its portfolio over the last year, which have resulted in 1-year returns1 of 17.96%, more than double our Lipper peer group2 average of 8.97% and our key benchmark3 average of 8.94%. |
| | |

| | | | By reducing expenses and repurchasing shares, the Fund has helped reduce itsdiscount from approximately 16% in December 2018 to approximately 8% in August2019.Saba Capital is using stale 2018 data to highlight the Fund’s discount to NAV and ignoring the steps that the Fund has taken to significantly reduce its discount to NAV over the course of 2019. |
Regulators are Concerned that Activist Hedge Funds are Hurting Closed-End Fund Investors Saba Capital is one of several activist hedge funds that routinely target closed-end funds to pressure them into implementing initiatives that enable the hedge funds to make a quick profit. These changes are often detrimental to retail stockholders who invest in closed-end funds to gain access to professionally managed portfolios with investment strategies that they would not have exposure to otherwise. This trend has caught the attention of regulators, who fear that investors like you are being put at risk. We share their concern. During a Congressional hearing on September 25, 2019, Representative Gregory Meeks of New York questioned Robert Jackson Jr., a Commissioner for the SEC, about the threat that activist hedge funds attacking closed-end funds pose to individual investors. Here are their thoughts. |
