Bulldog Investors Reports on Annual Meeting of First Trust Dynamic Europe
Equity Income Fund
SADDLE BROOK, N.J. - April 5, 2023 - Bulldog Investors, LLP ("Bulldog")
today announced the unofficial results of the annual meeting of First
Trust Dynamic Europe Equity Income Fund (the "Fund") (NYSE: FDEU) scheduled
for April 3, 2023.
Bulldog did not attend the meeting, which was held to elect two trustees,
or present its proxies after the Fund publicly stated that no votes other
than those cast for the incumbents would be counted. As a result, Bulldog
believes a quorum was not reached at the meeting. In addition, Bulldog
believes that the Fund illegally prevented stockholders from voting
approximately 1.7 million so-called "control shares" that otherwise would
have voted for Bulldog's nominees. Despite the Board's plea to stockholders
to elect its self-described "highly qualified" nominees, Bulldog estimates
that if its proxies been voted as directed, its nominees would have been
elected by a margin of 54% to 46%. What's more, if the 1.7 million unvoted
"control shares" had been counted for Bulldog's nominees, they would have
been elected by a margin of about 62% to 38%.
Bulldog intends to ask a court to determine that the Board's manipulation
of the corporate voting machinery by (1) unreasonably disqualifying Bulldog's
nominees, and (2) enforcing its "control share" bylaw, illegally infringed
upon the stockholder franchise and that Bulldog's nominees should be seated.
As one court said in finding another incumbent board's similar
disqualification of an opposition candidate to be invalid: "To allow for
voting while maintaining a closed candidate selection process thus renders
the former an empty exercise."
