SABA’s Board of Trustees Approves Share Repurchase Program, Reverse Stock Split, and Declassification of Board of Trustees

Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund II (NYSE: SABA) (the “Fund”), a registered closed-end management investment company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), today announced that its Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved (a) an open market share repurchase program, (b) a reverse stock split, and (c) subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to the Fund’s Declaration of Trust to declassify the Board.

Open Market Repurchase Program. The Board has approved a new open market share repurchase program to authorize the Fund to purchase up to 10% of the Fund’s common shares each fiscal year (provided, that the Board has reauthorized the repurchase program in each subsequent fiscal year) in open market transactions, at the discretion of the Fund’s investment adviser. The share repurchase program is intended to increase the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) to the benefit of all shareholders and help create further value for shareholders by reducing the Fund’s discount to NAV.

Subject to the 10% limitation in a fiscal year, the timing and amount of repurchases will be at the discretion of the Fund’s investment adviser. In exercising its discretion consistent with its portfolio management responsibilities, the investment adviser will take into account various other factors, including, but not limited to, the level of the discount, the Fund’s performance, portfolio holdings, dividend history, market conditions, cash on hand, the availability of other attractive investments, and whether the sale of certain portfolio securities would be undesirable because of liquidity concerns or because the sale might subject the Fund to adverse tax consequences. Any repurchases would be made on a national securities exchange at the prevailing market price, subject to exchange requirements, federal securities laws and rules that restrict repurchases.

If and when the Fund’s 10% threshold is reached in a fiscal year, no further repurchases will be made (unless otherwise authorized by the Board) for such fiscal year. The repurchase program will require reauthorization by the Board for each new fiscal year. Until the 10% threshold in a fiscal year is reached, the investment adviser will have the flexibility to commence share repurchases if and when it is determined to be appropriate in light of prevailing circumstances.
