ASA Gold and Precious Metals Limited ( (ASA) ) just unveiled an update.

On March 28, 2025, a U.S. District Court ruled that ASA Gold and Precious Metals Limited’s shareholder rights plan, adopted in December 2024, must be rescinded for violating the Investment Company Act of 1940’s requirement that such plans expire within 120 days. This decision followed Saba Capital Master Fund’s legal challenge against ASA, which had implemented the plan to prevent Saba’s increasing control over the company. The ruling impacts ASA’s strategy to deter hostile takeovers and maintain its strategic focus, as the court found the plan’s extensions violated statutory requirements.
