The vote outcome on July 30 will determine whether King Street is confirmed as permanent sub-adviser or remains interim while a new search begins. A 'FOR' vote removes near-term uncertainty; a 'no' vote prolongs the transition period. Monitor shareholder voting patterns and any further proxy solicitation materials from either side.

Executive Summary
XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust (XFLT) issued a press release urging shareholders to vote 'FOR' the King Street Sub-Advisory Agreement on the WHITE card at the July 30 special meeting. The Board states the vote is between approving King Street as sub-adviser or prolonging uncertainty, clarifying that Octagon will not be reinstated and that no management fee changes are involved. This is a proxy solicitation in an active sub-adviser transition dispute.
Key Facts

- The Board states there are no management fee increases if the proposal is approved or not approved.
- Octagon Credit Investors, the terminated sub-adviser, will not be reinstated regardless of the vote outcome.

Financial Impact

- No guarantee that King Street will achieve the Board's stated goals of increased distributions or improved performance.
