NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Japan Smaller Capitalization Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) (NYSE: JOF) today declared monthly cash distributions to common shareholders pursuant to its Level Distribution Plan (“LDP”) as follows:
The LDP is intended to provide shareholders with a constant, though not guaranteed, fixed rate of distribution each month.
Distributions will be made primarily in cash but under the Fund’s dividend-reinvestment plan, distributions will be made in Fund shares unless a shareholder has elected to receive cash. Shares held with a broker-dealer will receive distributions in cash.
Under the LDP, distributions may be derived from any combination of: (i) net investment income, (ii) realized capital gains, and/or (iii) a return of shareholder capital. The actual composition for each fiscal year will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV after year-end. Estimates provided in any monthly notice or in this press release are not intended for tax-reporting purposes and should not be relied upon as such.
The Fund cannot predict what effect, if any, the LDP will have on the market price of its shares, or whether such market price will trade at a narrower or wider discount to Net Asset Value (“NAV”) compared to levels prior to the Plan’s adoption.

Today’s announcement represents the Fund’s objective to deliver competitive performance and stable distributions to shareholders. The Board and Nomura Asset Management U.S.A. Inc. (“NAM-U.S.A.”) remain committed to delivering long-term value creation and addressing the interests of our shareholders.
