Historical significance

The successor's own legal account of how the fund's assets, history and name were carried forward. Read alongside the 2017 Federal Register notice, it allows the archive to distinguish the shareholder-vote date, the distribution date, the effective date, and the renaming date.

Selected excerpts

The Fund is the successor in interest to The Wall Street Fund, Inc. (the "Predecessor Fund"). On September 15, 2014, the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund approved the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund, and effective as of the close of business on October 1, 2014, the assets of the Predecessor Fund were transferred to the Fund in exchange for shares of the Fund and the Fund's assumption of the Predecessor Fund's liabilities.

SAI, opening paragraph

On March 1, 2016, the Fund's name changed from "The Wall Street Fund" to "Evercore Equity Fund."
