summarizeSummary

XFLT's Board issued definitive additional proxy materials clarifying that the upcoming vote is solely on approving King Street as sub-adviser; a 'no' vote leads to King Street as interim and a new search, not Octagon's return.

• Board Clarifies Vote Consequences

  The Board states unequivocally that a failed vote will not reinstate Octagon; instead, King Street becomes interim sub-adviser and the Board restarts the permanent sub-adviser search.

• No Fee Changes Regardless of Outcome

  Management fees remain unchanged whether the King Street sub-advisory agreement is approved or not, countering any claims of a fee hike.

• Octagon's Return Ruled Out

  The filing explicitly says Octagon will not be reinstated and a failed vote will not bring Octagon and XAI back to the negotiation table.

• Special Meeting Set for July 30

  Shareholders must vote by the July 30 special meeting; the Board urges a 'FOR' vote on the WHITE proxy card to approve King Street.

With the July 30 special meeting just days away, the Board is removing any ambiguity: shareholders are not voting on whether to keep Octagon—that decision is final. The filing makes clear that a failed vote installs King Street as interim sub-adviser and restarts the permanent search, rather than reopening the door to Octagon. This directly counters any narrative Octagon's campaign may have fostered and reframes the choice as one between King Street and prolonged uncertainty. In a bitter proxy fight, this high-stakes clarification lands at a critical moment.
