Saba Capital Management, L.P. (together with certain of its affiliates, “Saba” or “we”), today announced that it has entered into a standstill agreement with The New America High Income Fund (NYSE: HYB) (the “Fund”).

Under the terms of the agreement, The New America High Income Fund will, subject to stockholder approval, reorganize with and into the T. Rowe Price High Yield Fund, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRHYX), an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
