Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust, listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol FINS, is gearing up for a special meeting of shareholders scheduled for September 26, 2025. The Fund has announced that all three leading independent proxy advisory firms-Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS), Glass Lewis & Co, and Egan-Jones Proxy Services-have unanimously recommended that shareholders vote in favor of a new investment advisory agreement with Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC. The Board of the Fund has endorsed voting "FOR" the new agreement, which is the first proposal on the agenda. In addition, shareholders are encouraged to vote in favor of a second proposal that would approve any necessary adjournments of the Special Meeting to secure additional votes or establish a quorum. Shareholders who held shares as of August 20, 2025, are eligible to vote and are urged to do so either by internet, telephone, or mail, as instructed in their proxy materials. The Fund's proxy solicitor, EQ Fund Solutions, LLC, is available to assist shareholders with any questions regarding the voting process.
