NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Saba Capital Management, L.P. (together with certain of its affiliates, “Saba”) today announced that it has entered into a standstill agreement with Virtus Investment Advisers, LLC and Virtus Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund (NYSE: NFJ) (the “Fund”).

In connection with the agreement, the Fund will commence a cash self-tender offer to purchase up to 25% of its outstanding common shares. All shareholders will have the opportunity to tender some or all of their common shares at a price equal to 99% of the Fund’s net asset value per share, determined as of market close on the date the tender offer expires. The tender offer is expected to be completed by no later than October 14, 2026.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Saba has withdrawn its previously submitted nomination in connection with the Fund’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. The agreement also includes customary standstill provisions and voting commitments.
