The Delaware Funds by Macquarie municipal income funds, all
closed-end management investment companies, including Delaware
Investments Colorado Municipal Income Fund, Inc., Delaware
Investments National Municipal Income Fund, and Delaware
Investments Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II, Inc. (individually,
a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”), announced today that their
Board has approved changes to each Fund’s Bylaws designed to allow
for the more orderly conduct of shareholder meetings. Each Fund’s
Bylaws have been amended to provide as follows:
- For nominations or a proposal to be
properly brought before an annual meeting by a proponent: (i) the
proponent must have given a timely shareholder notice in writing to
the Secretary of a Fund at the principal executive offices of the
Fund; and (ii) the proponent or its representative must attend the
annual meeting in person and present the nominations or the
proposal to be considered. To be timely, a shareholder notice must
be made in writing and received by the Secretary of a Fund by close
of business not more than 150 days and not less than 120 days
before the first anniversary of the date that the Fund’s proxy
statement was released to Shareholders in connection with the
previous year’s annual meeting.
- Special meetings of shareholders may be
called by the Board, and also upon the written request of the
shareholders representing a minimum number of shares entitled to
vote at such meeting as specified in each Fund’s Bylaws. A written
request from shareholders entitled to call a special meeting must
state the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be
acted on at the meeting. The business transacted at a special
meeting is limited to the purposes stated in the notice of the
meeting.
- A proponent representative must be either
(i) a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of the proponent,
as evidenced by an incumbency certificate delivered to the acting
Secretary at the meeting, or (ii) authorized by a writing executed
by the proponent to act as proxy for the proponent at the meeting,
and delivered to the acting Secretary at the meeting.
Each Fund’s Bylaws contain other requirements for the conduct of
shareholder meetings and are available in their entirety upon
request to the Funds’ Secretary, c/o Delaware Management Company,
2005 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
As a result of the amendments to the Funds’ Bylaws, the
deadlines for shareholder proposals for each Fund’s 2019 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders have changed from the deadlines included in
the proxy statement related to each Fund’s 2018 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposals.” In
accordance with each Fund’s Bylaws, as amended, the relevant
deadlines for each Fund’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders are
as follows:
For the Fund’s annual meeting of shareholders
in 2019, shareholder proposals and Board nominations must be
received no earlier than February 3, 2019 and no later than March
5, 2019. Such proposals and nominations should be sent to the Fund,
directed to the attention of its Secretary, at the address of its
principal executive office c/o Delaware Management Company, 2005
Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103. The inclusion and/or
presentation of any such proposal or nominee is subject to the
applicable requirements of the proxy rules under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, other applicable law and the Fund’s governing
instruments. The persons designated as proxies will vote in their
discretion on any matter if the Fund does not receive notice of
such matter prior to May 17, 2019.
