Insights

Closed-end fund analyst

Monthly $0.0501 distribution appears fully classified as a return of capital; monitor NAV and year-to-date ROC of $0.59700.

The Fund declared a monthly distribution of $0.0501 per share for holders of record October 17, 2025. The Fund estimates 100.00% of this distribution is a return of capital, and fiscal year-to-date distributions total $0.59700 per share, also shown as 100.00% return of capital. The press release also reports an annualized distribution rate of 9.21%, a cumulative distribution rate on NAV of 9.14%, a fiscal year-to-date cumulative total return on NAV of 19.23%, and a five‑year annualized total return on NAV of 2.14%.

The business mechanism is straightforward: distributions were paid but, per the Fund's estimates, those payments exceed current income and realized gains and therefore were treated as a return of shareholders' capital. This classification does not, by itself, measure investment performance; the Fund explicitly warns that ROC can represent return of original invested principal and not income. Key dependencies and risks include the Fund's future investment results and any tax‑reporting adjustments the Fund may make for the remainder of its fiscal year; the Fund notes that final tax treatment will be shown on Form 1099‑DIV and that estimates may change.

Watch for revisions in the Fund's final tax characterization on Form 1099‑DIV after the fiscal year closes, any Board action modifying the Managed Distribution Plan, and changes in NAV reported at fiscal period end that affect sustainable distribution coverage. Relevant near‑term checkpoints are the remainder of the Fund's fiscal year and receipt of the calendar year Form 1099‑DIV for tax reporting.

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.

⁺Cumulative distribution rate is based on distributions paid to date for the period November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2025.

*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, 2024 through September 30, 2025.

**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.
