      <div style="font-weight: bold;">Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be Held on December [&#9679;], 2024</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">This proxy statement (the &#8220;Proxy Statement&#8221;) is furnished to the shareholders&#160; of High Income Securities Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the &#8220;Fund&#8221;) in connection with the solicitation by the
        Fund&#8217;s Board of Trustees (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) of proxies to be used at the annual meeting (the &#8220;Meeting&#8221;) of the shareholders of the Fund to be held on December [&#9679;], 2024, [11:00 a.m., Eastern time, at the offices of Bulldog Investors, Park 80 West, 250
        Pehle Avenue, Suite 708, Saddle Brook, NJ 07663], or any adjournment or postponement thereof.&#160; This Proxy Statement and the related proxy card will first be mailed to shareholders on or about December [&#9679;], 2024 and an electronic copy will be
        available at www.highincomesecuritiesfund.com.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><font style="font-weight: bold;">Quorum.&#160; </font>The presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders owning at least thirty percent (30%) of the shares entitled to vote on December [&#9679;], 2024
        shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><font style="font-weight: bold;">Required Vote for Adoption of Proposals.&#160; </font>Proposal 1 (to elect the Trustees) requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast, <font style="font-style: italic;">i.e.</font>, the nominees receiving the most votes will be elected. &#160; Each nominee that receives at least one affirmative vote will be elected.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">Proposal 2 (to convert the Fund to an open-end investment company) requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund&#8217;s outstanding shares.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">As otherwise used herein, &#8220;shares&#8221; means all of the outstanding transferable units of interest into which the beneficial interest in the Fund shall be divided into from time to time.&#160; The owner of
        each full share is entitled to one vote, and each fractional share is entitled to a proportionate share of one vote.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">A broker non-vote occurs when the broker returns a properly executed proxy for shares held by the broker for a customer but does not vote on a matter because the broker does not have discretionary
        voting authority and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.&#160; Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.&#160; With respect to
        Proposal 1, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes have an effect on the outcome of the proposal. With respect to Proposal 2, abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of votes against the proposal.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; font-weight: bold;">The individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote in accordance with your direction as indicated thereon if your proxy card is received properly executed by
        you or by your duly appointed agent or attorney-in-fact.&#160; If you give no voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR Proposal 1, will ABSTAIN on Proposal 2, and will be voted in the proxies&#8217; discretion, either FOR or AGAINST any other
        business that may properly be presented at the Meeting (<font style="font-style: italic;">e.g.</font>, adjourning the Meeting to a later date).</div>

      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">You may revoke any proxy card by (i) submitting a written notice of revocation to the Fund prior to the Meeting being convened, (ii) by properly executing and submitting a later-dated proxy, or
        (iii) by attending the annual meeting and voting in person.&#160; If your shares are held in street name through a bank, broker or other financial intermediary, please check your voting instruction form or contact your bank, broker or other financial
        intermediary for instructions on how to change or revoke your vote.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">Your vote is being solicited by the board of trustees of the Fund. The cost of soliciting these proxies will be borne by the Fund. The Fund will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their
        expenses in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners and soliciting them to execute proxies.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">The trustees and officers of the Fund, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, the stock transfer agent to the Fund, and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the administrator to the Fund, may be involved in the
        solicitation of proxies. The Fund does not reimburse such persons for the solicitation of proxies. The Fund expects that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but also may include telephone, electronic, oral or other means of communication.
        The cost of soliciting the proxies will be borne by the Fund.</div>

        Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust to demand payment for, or an appraisal of, their shares.</div>

          request, without charge, additional copies of the Fund&#8217;s annual report, the most recent semi-annual report preceding such annual report by writing the Fund, c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, 777 East Wisconsin Avenue, 4th Floor, Milwaukee,

        Trustees of the Fund. Under a plurality vote, if a quorum is established, the seven candidates who receive the highest number of &#8220;For&#8221; votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for quorum purposes,

        judgment in protecting shareholder interests and to interact effectively with the other Trustees, the Adviser, service providers, counsel and the independent registered public accounting firm (&#8220;independent auditors&#8221;); and willingness and ability to
        commit the time necessary to perform the duties of a Trustee.&#160;&#160;Each Trustee&#8217;s ability to perform his duties effectively is evidenced by his experience or achievements in the following areas: management or board experience in the investment
        management industry or companies in other fields, educational background and professional training; and experience as a Trustee of the Fund.&#160;&#160;Information as of December 1, 2024 indicating the specific experience, skills, attributes and
        qualifications of each Trustee which led to the Board&#8217;s determination that the Trustee should serve in this capacity is provided below.&#160;In considering whether an individual is qualified to serve as a Trustee, you should consider the experiences,

        of the Trustees do not constitute holding out the Board or any Trustee as having any special expertise or experience, and do not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board as a whole than would otherwise be
        the case.</div>

      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-weight: bold;">Board Composition and Leadership Structure. </font>The Board currently consists of seven individuals, three of whom are Interested Trustees.&#160; The Chairman of the Board, Mr.
        Goldstein, is an Interested Trustee and is the Secretary of the Fund and is a principal of the Adviser.&#160;&#160;The Board does not have a lead independent trustee.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">The Board believes that its structure facilitates the orderly and efficient flow of information to the Trustees from Adviser and other the service providers with respect to services provided to the Fund, potential
        conflicts of interest that could arise from these relationships and other risks that the Fund may face.&#160;&#160;The Board further believes that its structure allows all of the Trustees to participate in the full range of the Board&#8217;s oversight
        responsibilities.&#160;&#160;The Board believes that the orderly and efficient flow of information and the ability to bring each Trustee&#8217;s talents to bear in overseeing the Fund&#8217;s operations is important, in light of the size and complexity of the Fund and
        the risks that the Fund faces.&#160;&#160;Based on each Trustee&#8217;s experience and expertise with closed-end funds the Board believes that its leadership structure is appropriate and efficient. The Board and its committees review their structures regularly, to
        help ensure that they remain appropriate as the business and operations of the Fund, and the environment in which the Fund operates, changes.</div>

        its oversight in this regard primarily through requesting and receiving reports from and otherwise working with the Fund&#8217;s senior officers (including the Fund&#8217;s President, Chief Compliance Officer and Treasurer), portfolio management and other
        personnel of the Adviser, the Fund&#8217;s independent auditors, legal counsel and personnel from the Fund&#8217;s other service providers.&#160;&#160;The Board has adopted, on behalf of the Fund, and periodically reviews with the assistance of the Fund&#8217;s Chief
        Compliance Officer, policies and procedures designed to address certain risks associated with the Fund&#8217;s activities.&#160;&#160;In addition, the Adviser and the Fund&#8217;s other service providers also have adopted policies, processes and procedures designed to
        identify, assess and manage certain risks associated with the Fund&#8217;s activities, and the Board receives reports from service providers with respect to the operation of these policies, processes and procedures as required and/or as the Board deems
        appropriate.</div>

      <div style="text-align: justify;">&#160;<font style="font-weight: bold;">Compensation of Trustees</font>.&#160; The Board does not have a standing compensation committee.&#160;&#160;Currently, each Independent Trustee receives an annual retainer equal to $40,000 for
        serving as a Trustee and attending the quarterly meetings of the Board, paid quarterly in advance.&#160; Each Trustee is entitled to receive such compensation for any partial quarter for which he serves. Effective November 8, 2024, Trustees who are
        &#8220;interested persons&#8221; of the Adviser do not receive any compensation for their services as Trustees and/or officers of the Fund.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">The Fund does not have a bonus, profit sharing, pension or retirement plan.&#160;&#160;No other entity affiliated with the Fund pays any compensation to the Trustees.&#160;&#160;The table below details the amount of compensation the

        financial reporting of certain third-party providers; (ii) to oversee the quality and integrity of the Fund&#8217;s financial statements and the independent audit thereof; (iii) to oversee, or, as appropriate, assist Board oversight of, the Fund&#8217;s
        compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the Fund&#8217;s accounting and financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting and independent audits; (iv) to approve prior to appointment the engagement of the Fund&#8217;s

      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">&#160;Although the Audit &amp; Valuation Committee is expected to take a detached and questioning approach to the matters that come before it, the review of the Fund&#8217;s financial statements by the Audit
        &amp; Valuation Committee is not an audit, nor does the Audit &amp; Valuation Committee&#8217;s review substitute for the responsibilities of the Fund&#8217;s management for preparing, or the independent auditors for auditing, the financial
        statements.&#160;&#160;Members of the Audit &amp; Valuation Committee are not full-time employees of the Fund and, in serving on the Audit &amp; Valuation Committee, are not, and do not hold themselves out to be, acting as accountants or auditors.&#160;&#160;As such,
        it is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit &amp; Valuation Committee or its members to conduct &#8220;field work&#8221; or other types of auditing or accounting reviews.&#160;&#160;In discharging their duties, the members of the Audit &amp; Valuation Committee
        are entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by: (1) one or more officers of the Fund whom such Trustee reasonably believes to be reliable
        and competent in the matters presented; (2) legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters the Trustee reasonably believes are within the person&#8217;s professional or expert competence; or (3) a Board committee of which the Trustee
        is not a member.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">&#160;The Audit &amp; Valuation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Hellerman, Sell and Dayan.&#160;&#160;None of the members of the Audit &amp; Valuation Committee has any relationship to the Fund that may
        interfere with the exercise of his independence from management of the Fund, and each is independent as defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (&#8220;NYSE&#8221;) applicable to closed-end funds.&#160;&#160;Mr. Hellerman is the Chairman of
        the Audit &amp; Valuation Committee. The Board has determined that Mr. Dayan is an &#8220;audit committee financial expert&#8221; as such term is defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board has determined that each of Mr. Hellerman&#8217;s
        and Mr. Sell&#8217;s service on the audit committees of more than three public companies does not impair his ability to effectively serve on the Fund&#8217;s Audit &amp; Valuation Committee.&#160; The Board&#8217;s Audit &amp; Valuation Committee met 5 times during the

        to become Board members and members of Board committees.&#160; In nominating candidates, the Board believes that no specific qualifications or disqualifications are controlling or paramount, and that there are no specific qualities or skills necessary
        for each candidate to possess. In identifying and evaluating nominees for Trustee, the Board takes into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate.&#160;&#160;These factors may include: (i) whether or not the person is an &#8220;interested person&#8221; as
        defined in the 1940 Act, meets the independence and experience requirements of the NYSE applicable to closed-end funds and is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a member of the Board; (ii) whether or not the
        person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management or Fund service providers or their affiliates; (iii) whether or not the person is willing to serve,
        and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Board member; (iv) the person&#8217;s judgment, skill, diversity and experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity
        and size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (v) the interplay of the candidate&#8217;s experience with the experience of other Board members; and (vi) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and
        any committees thereof.</div>

      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">&#160;The Audit &amp; Valuation Committee has met and held discussions with the Administrator and Tait Weller.&#160;&#160;Tait Weller represented to the Audit &amp; Valuation Committee that the Fund&#8217;s financial

      <div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">PROPOSAL 2.<br>
        TO CONVERT THE FUND TO AN OPEN-END INVESTMENT COMPANY.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">What is this proposal?</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Shareholders will have the opportunity to vote at the meeting on the question of whether the Fund should be converted from a closed-end fund to an open-end fund. If the conversion is approved, the Fund&#8217;s shares would
        become redeemable directly from the Fund at NAV, eliminating any discount of market price to NAV. In order to address the organizational changes necessitated by any conversion from closed-end to open-end status, approval of this proposal would also
        authorize the Trustees to make such amendments to the Fund&#8217;s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the &#8220;Declaration of Trust&#8221;) as they may deem necessary or appropriate, generally with a view to conforming the Fund&#8217;s Declaration
        of Trust to a form typically used by open-end funds.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Why is this question being submitted to shareholders?</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">As described further below, as a closed-end fund, the Fund&#8217;s shares are bought and sold in the securities markets at prevailing prices, which may be equal to, less than, or greater than its NAV per share. Article IX,
        Section 6 of the Fund&#8217;s Declaration of Trust includes a requirement that Shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on a proposal to convert the Fund from closed-end to open-end status if the Fund&#8217;s common shares have traded at an average
        discount of more than 10% from its NAV per share during the last twelve calendar weeks of the preceding fiscal year (measured as of the last trading day in each such week) (such requirement, the &#8220;Mandatory Open-End Conversion Proposal
        Requirement&#8221;). The average discount from NAV per share at which the Fund&#8217;s shares traded for the relevant period was 11.27%, requiring this proposal to be submitted to shareholders.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">What do the Trustees recommend?</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">The Trustees of the Fund make no recommendation regarding this proposal. In determining to make no recommendation regarding this proposal, the Board considered that, as noted above, its inclusion as a proposal at the
        Meeting is required by the terms of the Fund&#8217;s Declaration of Trust. The Trustees believe that each shareholder should determine how to vote with respect to this proposal.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Are any changes to the Fund currently being contemplated by the Trustees?</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">There are no changes to the Fund currently being contemplated by the Trustees, other than the recent changes discussed below.</div>

      <div style="text-align: justify;">At a special meeting of Fund shareholders which was scheduled to be held on October 18, 2024 and adjourned to November 8, 2024 (the &#8220;Special Meeting&#8221;), the Fund&#8217;s shareholders approved (i) an investment management
        agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser will serves as the investment adviser of the Fund and (ii) certain changes to the Fund's investment objective, investment strategies and investment restrictions
        (collectively, the "Investment Changes").&#160; The Advisory Agreement and the Investment Changes, which are effective as of November 8, 2024, are more fully described in the Fund's Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
        Commission on September 13, 2024.</div>

      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, the Fund recently completed a tender offer which expired on December 9, 2024 pursuant to which it purchased [&#9679;] of the Funds&#8217; common shares of beneficial interest at a price of $[&#9679;] per share (98% of the
        Fund&#8217;s NAV on December 9, 2024).</div>

                lower-yielding investments in anticipation of possible redemptions, and generally can be more fully invested in securities that the Adviser believes are appropriate for the Fund. In addition, because the Fund is not engaged in a continuous
                offering of shares like an open-end fund, it is not required to accept cash subscriptions that may require temporary investment in cash and/or short-term, lower-yielding investments, pending investment in securities that the Adviser

      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-style: italic;">Effect on the Fund&#8217;s Declaration of Trust</font>. Conversion of the Fund from a closed-end to an open-end status would require certain changes to the Fund&#8217;s Declaration of Trust and,
        therefore, a vote in favor of such conversion would also authorize the Trustees to amend the Fund&#8217;s Declaration of Trust to reflect such changes. These changes would bring the Fund&#8217;s Declaration of Trust in line with those of open-end funds.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">The Declaration of Trust would be amended to require the Fund to purchase all shares offered to it for redemption at a price equal to the NAV of the shares next determined, less any redemption fee or other charges
        fixed by the Trustees. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Fund would be authorized, at its option, to redeem shares held in a shareholder&#8217;s account at NAV if at any time a shareholder owned shares in an amount either less
        than or greater than, as the case may be, an amount determined by the Trustees. Notwithstanding this provision, all shares would be redeemable at a shareholder&#8217;s option.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">The Declaration of Trust would also be amended to eliminate certain provisions that relate specifically to the Fund&#8217;s closed-end status, such as the conversion provision that has necessitated this proposal. In
        addition, if shareholders were to vote to convert the Fund to open-end status, the provision in the Fund&#8217;s Declaration of Trust requiring that Trustees be elected annually at the annual shareholder meeting or at a special meeting in lieu thereof
        would be eliminated. The Trustees would also make certain necessary technical and non-material changes to the Declaration of Trust.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">What are other changes that will be made with respect to the Fund if shareholders vote to convert the fund to open-end status?</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-style: italic;">12b-1 Plan</font>. As a stand-alone closed-end fund, there are no current structures in place for the marketing and distribution of Fund shares. If this proposal is approved by
        shareholders, to support the marketing of fund shares, the Trustees might also recommend, subject to shareholder approval, that the Fund adopt a distribution plan under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The plan the Trustees might recommend could
        provide for annual distribution fees of up to 0.50% of net assets.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-style: italic;">Timing</font>. If this proposal is approved by shareholders, a number of steps would be required to implement the conversion, including the preparation, filing and effectiveness of
        an open-end fund registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offering of the Fund&#8217;s shares (the &#8220;Open-End Registration Statement&#8221;), the establishment of distribution arrangements, and the negotiation and
        execution of a new or amended agreement with the Fund&#8217;s transfer agent. The Fund anticipates that the conversion would become effective during the third quarter of 2025, although there is no assurance of this, and that the discount, if any, at
        which the Fund&#8217;s shares trade in relation to its NAV would likely be reduced in anticipation of the ability to redeem shares at NAV upon the completion of the conversion. It is expected that the Fund&#8217;s amended Declaration of Trust would not be
        filed and effective until the Open-End Registration Statement has become effective.</div>

      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-style: italic;">Shareholder Approval of Certain Items</font>. Should the Fund convert to an open-end investment company, certain aspects of the operation of the Fund subsequent to its conversion may
        need to be approved by the Fund&#8217;s shareholders before the effectiveness of the conversion. These matters may include, among other things, amending its current investment management agreement with the Adviser, making any changes in the Fund&#8217;s
        fundamental investment policies, and considering the adoption of a distribution plan under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-style: italic;">Portfolio Transitioning</font>.&#160; If the proposal to convert to an open-end fund is approved, the Fund&#8217;s portfolio of investments will be reviewed to determine whether any changes are
        necessary to comply with 1940 Act requirements for open-end funds. The Fund anticipates that any required changes would be made in advance of the effective date of the Fund&#8217;s conversion to ensure the Fund is in compliance on the effective date.&#160;
        This could result in the Fund disposing of certain investments at inopportune times for unfavorable prices. As noted above, open-end funds are prohibited by the 1940 Act from investing more than 15% of their assets in securities that are deemed
        illiquid.&#160; As of November 1, 2024, approximately 0% of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio was invested in illiquid securities.&#160; Based on the Fund&#8217;s portfolio as of November 1, 2024, which is subject to change, there would be no required portfolio transitioning.
        The costs (including brokerage and tax) of any required portfolio transitioning will be borne by the Fund.</div>

      <div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">What are the anticipated costs to the Fund and its shareholders if the proposal to convert to an open-end fund is approved?</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Certain legal, accounting and other costs would be borne by the Fund (and its shareholders) in connection with the conversion of the Fund to open-end status. These direct costs are currently estimated to be between
        $150,000 to $200,000, although there is no guarantee that the direct costs would fall within this range. These direct costs would be in addition to any portfolio transitioning costs (discussed above) and any ongoing additional redemption and
        distribution fees (discussed above) that would be incurred by the Fund&#8217;s shareholders if the Fund was converted to an open-end fund.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">What is the voting requirement for approving the conversion?</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Approval of the conversion of the Fund to open-end status and of the related amendments to the Fund&#8217;s Declaration of Trust requires the &#8220;yes&#8221; vote of a majority of the Fund&#8217;s outstanding shares. If approved, the
        conversion would become effective following compliance with all necessary regulatory requirements under federal and state law. The Fund would seek to complete this process as soon as reasonably practicable. Until the conversion, the Fund&#8217;s shares
        would continue to be listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange.</div>

      <div style="text-align: justify; color: #000000;">On behalf of High Income Securities Fund (the &#8220;Fund&#8221;), we hereby file a preliminary proxy statement pursuant to the requirements of the
        Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including Rule 14a-6 thereof. The proxy relates to the election of seven Trustees to the Fund&#8217;s Board of Trustees and the approval of a proposal to convert the Fund to an open-end investment company.&#160;
        The disclosure relating to the proposal to convert the Fund to an open-end investment company is substantially similar to the disclosure that was included for the same proposal in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Fund on November 17,
        2023.</div>
