Annual Meeting of Shareholders Scheduled for August 3, 2017
Clough Global Equity Fund
Dear Shareholder:
Clough Global Equity Fund (the “Fund”), will hold its Annual Meeting of Shareholders at 10:00 am ET, at the office of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York on August 3. As this meeting is fast approaching, we encourage shareholders to vote in advance of the meeting. On July 10, the Fund reached a settlement agreement with Saba Capital Management, L.P. (“Saba”) under which Saba has withdrawn its nominees. In an effort to minimize further expenses, we ask you to please take a moment now to submit your vote on the enclosed WHITE proxy card. You may think your vote is inconsequential but your participation helps us to avoid costly adjournments and additional solicitation efforts.
Shareholders will be asked to vote on the following proposals:
|
1.
|
To elect three (3) Trustees of the Fund, each to hold office for the term indicated and until their successor shall have been elected and qualifies.
|
While to date an overwhelming majority of the votes received have been cast according to your Board of Trustee’s recommendation on the proposals, a quorum of the shares entitled to vote has not yet been achieved.
The proxy statement is available online at www.OkapiVote.com/Clough
