Key Terms

investment company act of 1940, net asset value, nav, return of capital, +2 more

6 terms

investment company act of 1940 regulatory

"Statement Pursuant to Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940"

A U.S. federal law that sets the rulebook for pooled investment vehicles such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and similar money managers, requiring them to register with regulators, disclose holdings and fees, limit conflicts of interest, and follow governance standards. It matters to investors because these protections and transparency rules act like a referee and scoreboard, helping people compare funds, trust that managers follow fair practices, and spot hidden costs or risks.

net asset value financial

"based on the change in the Fund's Net Asset Value per share ("NAV")"

Net asset value is the total value of an investment fund's assets minus any liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth of the fund, similar to how the value of a house is determined by its total worth after debts are subtracted. Investors use it to gauge the true value of their holdings and to compare different investment options.

nav financial

"Net Asset Value per share ("NAV"), compared to the annualized distribution rate"

Net asset value (NAV) is the total value of all the investments and assets in a fund or company, minus any debts or liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth, giving investors an idea of what each share is truly worth based on the underlying assets. Think of it like a company's total worth divided among its shares, helping investors assess whether a share is fairly priced.

return of capital financial

"a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur"

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.

managed distribution plan financial

"Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Managed Distribution Plan."

A managed distribution plan is a company’s program to pay regular, predictable cash amounts to shareholders by setting a fixed schedule and target payout, often funded from operating cash, reserves, or return of capital. Think of it like a household budget that guarantees a monthly allowance: it provides steady income for investors but can mask when distributions exceed sustainable earnings, which may reduce the company’s capital over time and affect long‑term value.

form 1099-div regulatory

"The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year"

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.

Statement Pursuant to Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940

DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / February 27, 2026 / On February 27, 2026, the Clough Global Opportunities Fund (NYSE American:GLO) (the "Fund"), a closed-end fund, paid a monthly distribution on its common stock of $0.0537 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 18, 2026.

The following table sets forth the estimated amount of the sources of distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the related rules adopted thereunder. The Fund estimates the following percentages, of the total distribution amount per share, attributable to (i) current and prior fiscal year net investment income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gain, (iii) net realized long-term capital gain and (iv) return of capital or other capital source as a percentage of the total distribution amount. These percentages are disclosed for the current distribution as well as the fiscal year-to-date cumulative distribution amount per share for the Fund.

Current Distribution from:
		Per Share ($)				%
Net Investment Income			0.00000				0.00	%
Net Realized Short-Term Capital Gain			0.00000				0.00	%
Net Realized Long-Term Capital Gain			0.00000				0.00	%
Return of Capital or other Capital Source			0.05370				100.00	%
Total (per common share)			0.05370				100.00	%
Fiscal Year-to-Date Cumulative Distributions from:
		Per Share ($)				%
Net Investment Income			0.00000				0.00	%
Net Realized Short-Term Capital Gain			0.00000				0.00	%
Net Realized Long-Term Capital Gain			0.00000				0.00	%
Return of Capital or other Capital Source			0.20760				100.00	%
Total (per common share)			0.20760				100.00	%

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this 19(a) Notice are only estimates and not for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income.'

Presented below are return figures, based on the change in the Fund's Net Asset Value per share ("NAV"), compared to the annualized distribution rate for this current distribution as a percentage of the NAV on the last business day of the month prior to distribution record date.

^ Based on the Fund's NAV as of January 31, 2026.

⁺Cumulative distribution rate is based on distributions paid to date for the period November 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026.

*Cumulative fiscal year-to-date return is based on the change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions for the period November 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026.

**The 5-year annualized total return is based on change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions and that all rights in the Fund's rights offering were exercised, as of the last business day of the month prior to the month of the current distribution record date.

While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Managed Distribution Plan.

Furthermore, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund's distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund's net asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund's distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.
