Item 1.

SECURITY AND ISSUER

 

 

 

This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on 11/2/21; with respect to the common shares of Salient Midstream & MLP Fund.  This Amendment No. 1 amends Items 3, 4, and 5, as set forth below.

 

 

Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

 

 

 

Funds for the purchase of the Common Shares were derived from the subscription proceeds from investors and the capital appreciation thereon and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time.  Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein. A total of approximately $13,688,821 was paid to acquire the Common Shares reported herein.

   

Item 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

   
  On December 2, 2021, Saba Capital CEF Opportunities 1, Ltd., a private fund advised by Saba Capital Management, L.P., submitted to the Issuer a notice informing the Issuer of its intention to nominate Paul Kazarian and Pierre Weinstein for election to the Issuer's board of trustees at the Issuer's 2022 annual meeting of shareholders.
