Highland Income Fund faces activist pressure from Saba Capital, which has surpassed a 10% ownership stake. Saba Capital is pushing for larger buybacks to address HFRO's persistent discount to NAV.

Highland Opportunities and Income Fund launches a new $100 million, two-year share repurchase program, with $20 million to be deployed immediately.
