Key Terms

ex-dividend, record, payment, return of capital, +1 more

5 terms

ex-dividend financial

"The distribution is subject to the following ex-dividend, record and payment dates"

Ex-dividend describes a stock trading without the right to receive the next scheduled dividend payment; if you buy the share on or after the ex-dividend date, the upcoming payout goes to the seller instead of you. It matters to investors because the stock price typically adjusts to reflect that lost payout, so understanding the ex-dividend date helps decide whether a trade will capture the dividend and can affect short-term price moves and tax or income strategies.

record financial

"The distribution is subject to the following ex-dividend, record and payment dates"

A record is an official written or electronic entry that documents a business event, decision, transaction or piece of information—like a receipt or logbook kept for reference. Investors use records to verify facts such as ownership, financial results, meeting minutes or regulatory filings; they provide the evidence needed to confirm claims, establish rights and assess a company’s accuracy and compliance, so their presence and clarity affect trust and valuation.

payment financial

"The distribution is subject to the following ex-dividend, record and payment dates"

A payment is the transfer of money from one party to another in exchange for goods, services, debt obligations or rights — like paying a bill or receiving rent. For investors it signals cash moving into or out of a business: timely incoming payments boost revenue and cash flow, while missed or delayed payments raise concerns about credit risk, profitability and the company’s ability to fund operations or return value.

return of capital financial

"Distributions may include ordinary income, capital gains or return of capital."

Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.

Form 1099-DIV regulatory

"the Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV specifying how the distributions"

Form 1099-DIV is a U.S. tax document brokers, mutual funds and other financial institutions send to investors showing dividends and other distributions paid during the year. Investors use it like an annual receipt to report taxable income — including regular dividends, dividends that may qualify for lower tax rates, and capital gains distributions — so it directly affects tax liability and helps reconcile brokerage records with a tax return.

About DoubleLine Yield Opportunities Fund

The Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of total return, with an emphasis on current income. DoubleLine believes active asset allocation across a broad range of fixed income sectors with a disciplined approach to risk management offers value-added opportunities for both income and capital growth. The Fund cannot ensure that it will achieve its investment objective, and investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or even all of your investment.

To read about the DoubleLine Yield Opportunities Fund, please access the Semiannual and Annual Reports, when available, at www.doubleline.com or call 877-DLINE11 (877-354-6311) to receive a copy. Investors should consider the Fund's investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. An investment in the Fund should not constitute a complete investment program.

This document is not an offer to sell securities or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale or offer of these securities, in any jurisdiction where such sale or offer is not permitted.

Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value, which may increase investors' risk of loss. This risk may be greater for investors expecting to sell their shares in a relatively short period after the completion of the public offering. There are risks associated with investment in the fund.

An investment in the Fund involves certain risks arising from, among other things, the Fund's ability to invest without limit in debt securities that are at the time of investment rated below investment grade or unrated securities judged by DoubleLine to be of comparable quality (a category of investment that includes securities commonly referred to as "high yield" securities or "junk bonds"). Securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and to repay principal when due. An investment in the Fund is also subject to the risk of the use of leverage. Investments in debt securities typically decline in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. Investment strategies may not achieve the desired results due to implementation lag, other timing factors, portfolio management decisions-making, economic or market conditions or other unanticipated factors. In addition, the Fund may invest in other asset classes and investments such as, among others, REITs, credit default swaps, short sales, derivatives and smaller companies which include additional risks. The Fund is a non-diversified, limited term, closed-end management investment company.

This material may include statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" under the U.S. securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, projections, estimates, and information about possible or future results related to the Fund, market or regulatory developments. The views expressed herein are not guarantees of future performance or economic results and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from the views expressed herein.

expressed herein (including any forward-looking statements) may not be relied upon as investment advice or as an indication of the Fund's trading intent. Information included herein is not an indication of the Fund's future portfolio composition.

Distributions include all distribution payments regardless of source and may include net income, capital gains, and/or return of capital (ROC). ROC should not be confused with yield or income. The Fund's Section 19a-1 Notice, if applicable, contains additional distribution composition information and may be obtained by visiting www.doubleline.com. Final determination of a distribution's tax character will be reported on Form 1099 DIV and sent to shareholders. On a tax basis, as of Nov. 28, 2025, the estimated component of the cumulative distribution for the fiscal year-to-date would include an estimated return of capital of $0.0255 (11%) per share. This amount is an estimate and the actual amounts and sources for tax reporting purposes may change upon final determination of tax characteristics and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.
