6 terms

managed distribution policy financial

"These distributions represent a 7.6% increase... and are made under the Fund's managed distribution policy..."

A managed distribution policy is a company’s plan to pay regular cash to shareholders at a set rate by combining income, dividends and occasional return of capital. Think of it as a scheduled withdrawal from a household account: it can provide steady income for investors, but part of the payment may come from savings rather than ongoing earnings, so investors should watch how those payments are funded and whether they are sustainable over time.

net asset value financial

"at a rate of at least one-twelfth of 10% of the Fund's average net asset value ("NAV") per share..."

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.

return of capital financial

"including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain and 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.

closed-end fund financial

"The Fund is a closed-end fund with an investment objective of providing a high level of total return."

A closed-end fund is a pool of money collected from many investors to buy a diversified mix of stocks, bonds, or other assets, and it is managed by professionals. Unlike some investment options, its shares are bought and sold on stock exchanges at prices determined by supply and demand, which can be above or below the fund's actual value. This structure allows investors to buy or sell shares easily, but the value may fluctuate based on market conditions.

exchange-traded funds financial

"manages approximately $1.4 billion in assets: $566 million in hedge fund and institutional accounts, $81 million in exchange-traded funds..."

An exchange-traded fund is an investment product that bundles many stocks, bonds, or other assets into a single package that trades on a stock exchange like an individual share; think of it as a ready-made basket you can buy or sell throughout the trading day. For investors it matters because ETFs provide easy access to broad exposure, typically lower costs and built-in diversification, and the ability to adjust positions quickly without buying each asset separately.

leverage financial

"The Fund utilizes leverage, which may increase the volatility of the Fund's NAV."

Leverage is the use of borrowed money or other financial tools to try to amplify the returns from an investment, like using a crowbar to move a heavier rock than you could with your hands. It can boost gains when things go well but also magnifies losses and the chances of running into trouble if income or asset values fall, so investors watch leverage to judge both growth potential and financial risk.

DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / January 8, 2026 / Today, Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund (NYSE American:GLV) (the "Fund") declared a monthly cash distribution of $0.0566 per common share, payable on the dates noted below. These distributions represent a 7.6% increase from the Fund's prior distributions and are made under the Fund's managed distribution policy, which is intended to provide shareholders with a consistent monthly distribution at a rate of at least one-twelfth of 10% of the Fund's average net asset value ("NAV") per share for the last five business days of the prior calendar year.

The distribution increase reflects the Fund's strong investment performance in calendar year 2025, during which the Fund generated a NAV total return of 21.9%, outperforming its benchmark, the Morningstar Global Allocation Total Return Index, which returned 16.7% during the period.

"We believe that the increase in the Fund's distribution is a direct result of disciplined execution of our investment process," said Chuck Clough, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Clough Capital Partners, the Fund's adviser.

The following dates apply to the distributions declared:

	Ex-Date: January 20, 2026 Record Date: January 20, 2026 Payable Date: January 30, 2026

	Ex-Date: March 18, 2026 Record Date: March 18, 2026 Payable Date: March 31, 2026

The Fund's Board of Trustees may amend the terms of, or terminate, the managed distribution policy at any time without prior notice to shareholders. Investors should not make any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of the Fund's distributions or distribution policy. A portion of the distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain and return of capital.

For any distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income, the Fund will issue a notice to shareholders that will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other related information. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in the notice to shareholders are only estimates and are not provided 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 its full fiscal year and are subject to changes based on tax regulations.

Clough Capital Partners L.P.*

Clough Capital Partners L.P. is a Boston-based investment advisory firm which manages approximately $1.4 billion in assets: $566 million in hedge fund and institutional accounts, $81 million in exchange-traded funds, and $788 million in three closed-end funds (as of December 31, 2025) - Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund (GLV), Clough Global Equity Fund (GLQ), and Clough Global Opportunities Fund (GLO).

An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. To obtain an annual report or semi-annual report which contains this and other information visit www.cloughcapital.com/cefs/glv or call 1-855-425-6844.

The Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund is a closed-end fund and closed-end funds do not continuously issue shares for sale as open-end mutual funds do. Since the initial public offering, the Fund now trades in the secondary market. Investors wishing to buy or sell shares need to place orders through an intermediary or broker. The share price of a closed-end fund is based on the market's value.

An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in the Fund represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund, which are generally traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. An investment in the Fund's shares may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account any reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The Fund utilizes leverage, which may increase the volatility of the Fund's NAV. If leverage costs exceed the income from the Fund's leveraged investments, use of leverage may reduce the Fund's returns.

The Fund's distribution policy may, under certain circumstances, have adverse consequences to the Fund and its shareholders because it may result in a return of capital resulting in less of a shareholder's assets being invested in the Fund and, over time, increase the Fund's expense ratio.

The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For the most current month-end performance data, please visit www.cloughcapital.com/cefs/glv. Performance reflects the deduction of management fees and other applicable expenses. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at a price obtained under the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan.

The Morningstar Global Allocation Total Return Index represents a multi-asset class portfolio of 60% global equities and 40% global bonds. The asset allocation within each class is driven by Morningstar asset allocation methodology. To maintain broad global exposure and diversification, the index consists of equities & fixed income and utilizes global, float-weighted index methodology to determine allocation to U.S. and non-U.S.
