Important Information About the Funds |
Information regarding each Fund’s principal investment strategies, principal risks and risk management strategies, the effects of each Fund’s leverage, and each Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions, including a summary of certain changes thereto during the most recent fiscal year, can be found within the relevant sections of this report. Please refer to the Table of Contents for further information.
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well-diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates would negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed-income securities and other instruments held by a Fund are likely to decrease in value. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates or yields of U.S. Treasury securities (or yields of other types of bonds) to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). In addition, changes in interest rates can be sudden and unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that Fund management will anticipate such movement accurately. A Fund may experience losses as a result of movements in interest rates.
The Board approved the reorganizations (the “Reorganizations”) of: (i) PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund II (“PCK”) and PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund III (“PZC” and together with PCK, the “CA Target Funds”) with and into PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund (“PCQ”) (the “CA Reorganizations”); (ii) PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund (“PNF”) and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund III (“PYN” and together with PNF, the “NY Target Funds”) with and into PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II (“PNI”) (the “NY Reorganizations”); and (iii) PIMCO Municipal Income Fund (“PMF”) and PIMCO Municipal Income Fund III (“PMX” and together with PMF, the “National Target Funds”) with and into PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II (“PML”) (the “National Reorganizations”).
At a Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders of PCQ, PNI, and PML held on June 27, 2025, the respective shareholders approved the issuance of additional common shares of each of PCQ, PNI, and PML to be issued to the common shareholders of each CA Target Fund, NY Target Fund, and National Target Fund, respectively. No action was needed from shareholders of of each CA Target Fund, NY Target Fund, and National Target Fund. Pursuant to each Reorganization, shareholders of the CA Target Funds became shareholders of PCQ, shareholders of the NY Target Funds became shareholders of PNI, and shareholders of the National Target Funds became shareholders of PML. The Reorganizations were completed upon the close of business on August 1, 2025. Each Reorganization was structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. In each Reorganization, PCQ, PNI, and PML acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the CA Target Funds, NY Target Funds, and National Target Funds, respectively, in exchange for newly-issued
common shares of PCQ, PNI, and PML, respectively (“Common Merger Shares”) and newly-issued Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (“RVMTP Shares”) of PCQ, PNI and PML, respectively (“RVMTP Merger Shares”). Common shareholders of the CA Target Funds, NY Target Funds, and National Target Funds received Common Merger Shares (and cash in lieu of fractional Common Merger Shares, if any), equal to the aggregate net asset value of their holdings of each of PCQ, PNI, and PML, respectively, as applicable. The exchanges were based on the net asset value per common share of the CA Target Funds, NY Target Funds, and National Target Funds as of the close of business on August 1, 2025. Holders of RVMTP Shares of the CA Target Funds, NY Target Funds, and National Target Funds received RVMTP Merger Shares of PCQ, PNI, and PML, respectively, with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to, and other terms that are substantially identical to, the corresponding series of the RVMTP Shares of the CA Target Funds, NY Target Funds, and National Target Funds, respectively. The CA Target Funds, NY Target Funds, and National Target Funds have no assets and each has filed a Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form N-2 and an Application for Deregistration of Certain Registered Investment Companies with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to deregister as an investment company and wind down operations.
Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, which may detract from Fund performance. The interest rate environment has fluctuated in recent years, moving from historically low interest rates in 2020 and 2021 to high interest rates in 2022 and 2023 as a result of the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raising interest rates multiple times in efforts to combat inflation. Starting in late 2024 and again in 2025, the Fed lowered interest rates. It is uncertain whether rates will remain steady, increase or decrease in the future. As such, the Funds may face a heightened level of risk associated with changing interest rates and/or bond yields. This could be driven by a variety of factors, including but not limited to central bank monetary policies, changing inflation or real growth rates, general economic conditions, increasing bond issuances or reduced market demand for certain types of bonds or bonds generally. Further, while bond markets have steadily grown over the past three decades, dealer inventories of corporate bonds are near historic lows in relation to market size. As a result, there has been a significant reduction in the ability of dealers to “make markets.”
Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than funds or securities with shorter durations. All of the factors mentioned above, individually or collectively, could lead to increased volatility and/or lower liquidity in the fixed income markets, or negatively impact a Fund’s performance or cause a Fund to incur losses.

PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
Investing in the municipal bond market involves the risks of investing in debt securities generally and certain other risks. The amount of public information available about the municipal bonds in which a Fund may invest is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds, and the investment performance of a Fund’s investment in municipal bonds may therefore be more dependent on the analytical abilities of Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) than its investments in taxable bonds. The secondary market for municipal bonds also tends to be less well-developed or liquid than many other securities markets, which may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to sell its bonds at attractive prices.
The ability of municipal issuers to make timely payments of interest and principal may be diminished during general economic downturns, by litigation, legislation or political events, or by the bankruptcy of the issuer. Issuers of municipal securities also might seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. In the event of bankruptcy of such an issuer, a Fund could experience delays in collecting principal and interest and the Fund may not, in all circumstances, be able to collect all principal and interest to which it is entitled.
A Fund that has substantial exposures to California municipal bonds may be affected significantly by economic, regulatory or political developments affecting the ability of California issuers to pay interest or repay principal. Certain issuers of California municipal bonds have experienced serious financial difficulties in the past and reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair the ability of certain California issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations. Provisions of the California Constitution and State statutes that limit the taxing and spending authority of California governmental entities may impair the ability of California issuers to pay principal and/or interest on their obligations. While California’s economy is broad, it does have major concentrations in advanced technology, aerospace and defense-related manufacturing, trade, entertainment, real estate and financial services, and may be sensitive to economic problems affecting those industries. Future California political and economic developments, constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive orders, administrative regulations, litigation and voter initiatives as well as environmental events, natural disasters, or social unrest could have an adverse effect on the debt obligations of California issuers.
A Fund that has substantial exposures to New York municipal bonds may be affected significantly by economic, regulatory or political developments affecting the ability of New York issuers to pay interest or repay principal. While New York’s economy is broad, it does have concentrations in the financial services industry, and may be sensitive to economic problems affecting that industry. Certain issuers of New York municipal bonds have experienced serious financial difficulties in the past and reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair the ability of certain New York issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations. The
financial health of New York City affects that of the State, and when New York City experiences financial difficulty, it may have an adverse effect on New York municipal bonds held by a Fund. The growth rate of New York has at times been somewhat slower than the nation overall. The economic and financial condition of New York also may be affected by various financial, social, economic, environmental, and political factors.
Classifications of the Funds’ portfolio holdings in this report are made according to financial reporting standards. The classification of a particular portfolio holding as shown in the Allocation Breakdown and Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments sections of this report may differ from the classification used for the Funds’ compliance calculations, including those used in the Funds’ then-current prospectus, investment objectives, regulatory and other investment limitations and policies, which may be based on different asset class, sector or geographical classifications. Each Fund is separately monitored for compliance with respect to prospectus and regulatory requirements.
The geographical classification of foreign (non-U.S.) securities in this report, if any, are classified by the country of incorporation of a holding. In certain instances, a security’s country of incorporation may be different from its country of economic exposure.
The United States’ enforcement of restrictions on U.S. investments in certain issuers and tariffs on goods from certain other countries has contributed to and may continue to contribute to international trade tensions and may impact portfolio securities. The U.S. government has indicated an intent to alter its approach to international trade policy, including in some cases renegotiating, modifying or terminating certain bilateral or multi-lateral trade arrangements with foreign countries, and it has proposed to take and/or taken related actions, including the imposition of or stated potential imposition of a broad range of tariffs. The imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions (or retaliatory measures taken in response) could lead to, for example, price volatility, reduced market sentiment, and changes in inflation expectations. These and other geopolitical events may contribute to increased instability in the U.S. and global economies and markets, which may have an adverse effect on the performance of the Funds and their investments.
The common shares of the Funds trade on the New York Stock Exchange. As with any stock, the price of a Fund’s common shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. If you sell your common shares of a Fund, the price received may be more or less than your original investment.
Shares of closed-end investment management companies, such as the Funds, frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value (“NAV”) and may trade at a price that is less than the initial offering

| | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | 3 |
Important Information About the Funds |
(Cont.) |
price and/or the NAV of such shares. Further, if a Fund’s shares trade at a price that is more than the initial offering price and/or the NAV of such shares, including at a substantial premium and/or for an extended period of time, there is no assurance that any such premium will be sustained for any period of time and will not decrease, or that the shares will not trade at a discount to NAV thereafter.
Increased volatility in the U.S. and global markets could be harmful to the Funds, issuers in which they invest and other market participants and Fund service providers. For example, if a bank at which a Fund or issuer has an account fails, any cash or other assets in bank or custody accounts, which may be substantial in size, could be temporarily inaccessible or permanently lost by the Fund or issuer. If a bank that provides a subscription line credit facility, asset-based facility, other credit facility and/or other services to an issuer or to a fund fails, the issuer or fund could be unable to draw funds under its credit facilities or obtain replacement credit facilities or other services from other lending institutions with similar terms.
Issuers in which a Fund may invest can be affected by volatility in the banking sector. Even if banks used by issuers in which the Funds invest remain solvent, volatility in the banking sector could contribute to, cause or intensify an economic recession, increase the costs of capital and banking services or result in the issuers being unable to obtain or refinance indebtedness at all or on as favorable terms as could otherwise have been obtained. Potential impacts to funds and issuers resulting from volatility in the banking sector and accompanying market conditions and potential legislative or regulatory responses are uncertain. Such conditions and responses, as well as a changing interest rate environment, can contribute to decreased market liquidity and erode the value of certain holdings. Market volatility and uncertainty and/or a downturn in market and economic and financial conditions, as a result of developments in the banking sector or otherwise (including as a result of delayed access to cash or credit facilities), could have an adverse impact on the Funds and issuers in which they invest.
On each Fund Summary page in this Shareholder Report, the Average Annual Total Return table and Cumulative Returns chart measure performance assuming that any dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV or market price (as applicable) in the specified period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return. Performance at market price will differ from results at NAV. Although market price returns tend to reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about a Fund, market conditions, supply and
demand for the Fund’s shares, or changes in the Fund’s dividends. Performance shown is net of fees and expenses. Historical NAV performance for a Fund may have been positively impacted by fee waivers or expense limitations in place during some or all of the periods shown, if applicable. Future performance (including total return or yield) and distributions may be negatively impacted by the expiration or reduction of any such fee waivers or expense limitations.
The dividend rate that a Fund pays on its common shares may vary as portfolio and market conditions change, and will depend on a number of factors, including without limit the amount of a Fund’s undistributed net investment income and net short- and long-term capital gains, as well as the costs of any leverage obtained by a Fund. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions on the common shares and a Fund’s dividend policy could change. There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in a Fund’s distribution rate or that the rate will be sustainable in the future.

The Trustees are responsible generally for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees authorize the Funds to enter into service agreements with PIMCO and other service providers in order to provide, and in some cases authorize service providers to procure through other parties, necessary or desirable services on behalf of the Funds. Shareholders are not parties to or third-party beneficiaries of such service agreements. Neither a Fund’s prospectus or Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), any press release or shareholder report, any contracts filed as exhibits to a Fund’s registration statement, nor any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings (including this report) from or on behalf of a Fund creates a contract between or among any shareholders of a Fund, on the one hand, and the Fund, a service provider to the Fund, and/or the Trustees or officers of the Fund, on the other hand. The Trustees (or the Funds and their officers, service providers or other delegates acting under authority of the Trustees) may amend its most recent prospectus or use a new prospectus or SAI with respect to a Fund, adopt and disclose new or amended policies and other changes in press releases and shareholder reports and/or amend, file and/or issue any other communications, disclosure

documents or regulatory filings, and may amend or enter into any contracts to which a Fund is a party, and interpret the investment objective(s), policies, restrictions and contractual provisions applicable to any Fund, without shareholder input or approval, except in circumstances in which shareholder approval is specifically required by law (such as changes to fundamental investment policies) or where a shareholder approval requirement was specifically disclosed in a Fund’s then-current prospectus, SAI or shareholder report and is otherwise still in effect.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule
206(4)-6
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Funds as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Funds. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of each Fund, and information about how each Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Funds at (844) 33-PIMCO, on the Funds’ website at www.pimco.com, and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Funds file their complete schedules of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to their reports on Form N-PORT. The Funds’ Form N-PORT reports are available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on PIMCO’s website at www.pimco.com, and upon request by calling PIMCO at (844) 33-PIMCO. In August 2024, the SEC adopted amendments to Form N-PORT requiring funds to file Form N-PORT reports on a monthly basis and within 30 days of month end, with each report being made public 60 days after month end. On April 16, 2025, the SEC extended the compliance date for Form N-PORT amendments and fund groups with $1 billion or more in net assets will be required to comply with the amendments for reports filed on or after November 17, 2027.
SEC rules allow the Funds to fulfill their obligation to deliver shareholder reports to investors by providing access to such reports online free of charge and by mailing a notice that the report is electronically available. Investors may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge by contacting their financial intermediary or, if invested directly with a Fund, investors can inform the Fund by calling (844) 33-PIMCO. Any election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with the fund complex if invested directly with a Fund or to all funds held in the investor’s account if invested through a financial intermediary. Paper copies of the Funds’ shareholder reports are required to be provided free of charge by the Funds or financial intermediary upon request.
In September 2023, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the rule governing fund naming conventions (the “Names Rule”). In general, the Names Rule requires funds with certain types of names to adopt a policy to invest at least 80% of their assets in the type of investment suggested by the name. The amendments expand the scope of the current rule to include any term used in a fund name that suggests the fund makes investments that have, or whose issuers have, particular characteristics. Additionally, the amendments modify the circumstances under which a fund may deviate from its 80% investment policy and address the calculation methodology of derivatives instruments for purposes of the rule. Changes to a fund’s calculation methodology for derivatives instruments for purposes of Rule 35d-1 consistent with such amendments and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof will not constitute a change to a fund’s policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 and will not require notice or shareholder approval. The amendments became effective on December 11, 2023. On March 14, 2025, the SEC extended the compliance date from December 11, 2025 to June 11, 2026 for fund groups with $1 billion or more in net assets and modified the operation of the compliance dates to allow for compliance based on the timing of certain annual disclosure and reporting obligations that are tied to a fund’s fiscal year-end.

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance shown. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Total return, market price, NAV, market price distribution rate, and NAV distribution rate will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. The NAV presented may differ from the NAV reported for the same period in other Fund materials. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available at www.pimco.com or via (844) 33-PIMCO. Performance is calculated assuming all dividends and distributions are reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Performance does not reflect any brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares. |
Performance of an index is shown in light of a requirement by the Securities and Exchange Commission that the performance of an appropriate broad-based securities market index be disclosed. However, the Fund is not managed to an index nor should the index be viewed as a “benchmark” for the Fund’s performance. The indexes are not intended to be indicative of the Fund’s investment strategies, portfolio components or past or future performance. Please see Additional Information Regarding the Funds for a description of the Fund’s principal investment strategies. |

Distribution rates are not performance and are calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution per share and dividing by the NAV or market price, as applicable, as of the reported date. Distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net capital gains, and/or a return of capital (‘’ROC’’) of your investment in the Fund. Because the distribution rate may include a ROC, it should not be confused with yield or income. If the Fund estimates that a portion of its distribution may be comprised of amounts from sources other than net investment income in accordance with its policies and good accounting practices, the Fund will notify shareholders of the estimated composition of such distribution through a Section 19 Notice. Please refer to the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, for additional information regarding the estimated composition of distributions. Please visit www.pimco.com for most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable. Final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be made on Form 1099 DIV sent to shareholders each January. |

Represents total effective leverage outstanding, as a percentage of total managed assets. Total effective leverage consists of preferred shares, reverse repurchase agreements and other borrowings, credit default swap notional and floating rate notes issued in tender option bond transactions, as applicable (collectively “Total Effective Leverage”). The Fund may engage in other transactions not included in Total Effective Leverage disclosed above that may give rise to a form of leverage, including certain derivative transactions. For the purpose of calculating Total Effective Leverage outstanding as a percentage of total managed assets, total managed assets refer to total assets (including assets attributable to Total Effective Leverage that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing Total Effective Leverage). |
Investment Objective and Strategy Overview
PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide current income exempt from federal and California income tax.
Fund Insights at NAV
The following affected performance (on a gross basis) during the reporting period:
| » | Exposure to the housing sector contributed to performance, as the sector posted positive returns. |
| » | Exposure to the special tax sector contributed to performance, as the sector posted positive returns. |
| » | Exposure to the general obligation segment contributed to performance, as the segment posted positive returns. |
| » | The costs associated with one or more forms of leverage detracted from performance.

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance shown. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Total return, market price, NAV, market price distribution rate, and NAV distribution rate will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. The NAV presented may differ from the NAV reported for the same period in other Fund materials. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available at www.pimco.com or via (844) 33-PIMCO. Performance is calculated assuming all dividends and distributions are reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Performance does not reflect any brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares. |
Performance of an index is shown in light of a requirement by the Securities and Exchange Commission that the performance of an appropriate broad-based securities market index be disclosed. However, the Fund is not managed to an index nor should the index be viewed as a “benchmark” for the Fund’s performance. The indexes are not intended to be indicative of the Fund’s investment strategies, portfolio components or past or future performance. Please see Additional Information Regarding the Funds for a description of the Fund’s principal investment strategies. |
(2) |
Distribution rates are not performance and are calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution per share and dividing by the NAV or market price, as applicable, as of the reported date. Distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net capital gains, and/or a return of capital (‘’ROC’’) of your investment in the Fund. Because the distribution rate may include a ROC, it should not be confused with yield or income. If the Fund estimates that a portion of its distribution may be comprised of amounts from sources other than net investment income in accordance with its policies and good accounting practices, the Fund will notify shareholders of the estimated composition of such distribution through a Section 19 Notice. Please refer to the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, for additional information regarding the estimated composition of distributions. Please visit www.pimco.com for most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable. Final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be made on Form 1099 DIV sent to shareholders each January. |

Represents total effective leverage outstanding, as a percentage of total managed assets. Total effective leverage consists of preferred shares, reverse repurchase agreements and other borrowings, credit default swap notional and floating rate notes issued in tender option bond transactions, as applicable (collectively “Total Effective Leverage”). The Fund may engage in other transactions not included in Total Effective Leverage disclosed above that may give rise to a form of leverage, including certain derivative transactions. For the purpose of calculating Total Effective Leverage outstanding as a percentage of total managed assets, total managed assets refer to total assets (including assets attributable to Total Effective Leverage that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing Total Effective Leverage). |
Investment Objective and Strategy Overview
PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II’s investment objective is to seek to provide current income exempt from federal income tax.

~ |
Not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. |
(a) |
Net asset value includes adjustments required by U.S. GAAP. These values, and other performance figures relying on them, such as average annual total return data included in each Fund’s prospectus and in any shareholder reports, may differ from net asset values and performance reported elsewhere with respect to the Funds. |
(b) |
Per share amounts based on average number of common shares outstanding during the year or period. |
(c) |
Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”). From August 14, 2001 until November 8, 2024, the Funds had one or more series of ARPS outstanding with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends. |
(d) |
The tax characterization of distributions is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations. The actual tax characterization of distributions paid is determined at the end of the fiscal year. See Note 2, Distributions — Common Shares, in the Notes to Financial Statements for more information. |
(e) |
Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of a common share at the market price on the first day and a sale of a common share at the market price on the last day of each year or period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Funds’ dividend reinvestment plan. Total investment return does not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares. |
(f) |
Calculated on the basis of income and expenses applicable to both common and preferred shares relative to the average net assets of common shareholders. The expense ratio and net investment income do not reflect the effects of dividend payments to preferred shareholders. |
(g) |
Ratio includes interest expense which primarily relates to participation in borrowing and financing transactions, interest paid to RVMTP shareholders and the amortization of debt issuance costs of RVMTP Shares. See Note 5, Borrowings and Other Financing Transactions and Note 12, Preferred Shares in the Notes to Financial Statements for more information. |
1 |
“Asset Coverage per Preferred Share” means the ratio that the value of the total assets of the Fund, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by ARPS or RVMTP Shares, bears to the aggregate of the involuntary liquidation preference of ARPS or RVMTP Shares, expressed as a dollar amount per ARPS or RVMTP Share. |
2 |
“Involuntary Liquidating Preference” means the amount to which a holder of ARPS or RVMTP Shares would be entitled upon the involuntary liquidation of the Fund in preference to the Common Shareholders, expressed as a dollar amount per Preferred Share. |
3 |
Between November 4, 2024 and November 8, 2024, the Funds redeemed each outstanding series of ARPS at the full liquidation preference (i.e., face value) of the ARPS. Prior to this redemption, there was no active trading market for the ARPS and the Fund was not able to reliably estimate what their value would have been in a third-party market sale. The liquidation value of the ARPS represents their liquidation preference, which approximates fair value of the shares less any accumulated unpaid dividends. |
4 |
Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“RVMTP”) Shares. Prior to July 14, 2021, certain RVMTP Shares were Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares. See Note 12, Preferred Shares. |
5 |
The RVMTP Shares have no readily ascertainable market value. The liquidation value of the RVMTP Shares represents its liquidation preference, which approximates fair value of the shares less any unamortized debt issuance costs. See Note 12, Preferred Shares in the Notes to Financial Statements for more information. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
1. ORGANIZATION
PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund, PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are organized as
closed-end
management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Act”). Each Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on the dates shown in the table below. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO” or the “Manager”) serves as the Funds’ investment manager. Fund Name |
Formation Date |
|||||||
PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund |
May 10, 2001 |
|||||||
PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II |
March 29, 2002 |
|||||||
PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II |
March 29, 2002 |
|||||||
PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund, PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II have established wholly-owned subsidiaries in Delaware. See Note 13, Basis for Consolidation, in the Notes to Financial Statements for more information regarding the treatment of each Fund’s subsidiaries in the financial statements.
Hereinafter, the Board of Trustees of the Funds shall be collectively referred to as the “Board.”
Each Fund has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2023-07,
Segment Reporting (Topic 280) — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds’ financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Officers of the Funds, as listed in the Management of the Funds section of the most recent annual report, act as the Funds’ CODM. Each Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Funds as a whole and each Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined
in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Funds’ portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of each Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus each Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for each Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Funds’ financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statements of Operations.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Each Fund is treated as an investment company under the reporting requirements of U.S. GAAP, including, but not limited to, ASC 946. The functional and reporting currency for the Funds is the U.S. dollar. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled beyond a standard settlement period for the security after the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend
date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as a Fund is informed of the ex-dividend
date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date, with the exception of securities with a forward starting effective date, where interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from effective date. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized. Estimated tax liabilities on certain foreign securities are recorded on an accrual basis and are reflected as components of interest income or net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the Statements of Operations, as appropriate. Tax liabilities realized as a result of such security sales are reflected as a component of net realized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations. Paydown gains (losses) on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, if any, are recorded as components of interest income on the Statements of 32 |

Operations. Income or short-term capital gain distributions received from registered investment companies, if any, are recorded as dividend income. Long-term capital gain distributions received from registered investment companies, if any, are recorded as realized gains.
Debt obligations may be placed on
non-accrual
status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual
status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is probable. A debt obligation may be granted, in certain situations, a contractual or non-contractual
forbearance for interest payments that are expected to be paid after agreed upon pay dates. (b) Distributions — Common Shares The following table shows the anticipated frequency of distributions from net investment income to common shareholders.

Each Fund intends to distribute at least annually to its shareholders all or substantially all of its net
tax-exempt
interest and any investment company taxable income, and may distribute its net capital gain. A Fund may revise its distribution policy or postpone the payment of distributions at any time. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and U.S. GAAP may cause timing differences between income and capital gain recognition. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. As a result, income distributions and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported on each Fund’s annual financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP.
Separately, if a Fund determines or estimates, as applicable, that a portion of a distribution may be comprised of amounts from sources other than net investment income in accordance with its policies, accounting records (if applicable) and accounting practices, the Fund will notify shareholders of the estimated composition of such distribution through a Section 19 Notice. For these purposes, a Fund determines or estimates, as applicable, the source or sources from which a distribution is paid, to the close of the period as of which it is paid, in reference to its internal accounting records and related
accounting practices. If, based on such accounting records and practices, it is determined or estimated, as applicable, that a particular distribution does not include capital gains or
paid-in
surplus or other capital sources, a Section 19 Notice generally would not be issued. It is important to note that differences exist between a Fund’s daily internal accounting records and practices, a Fund’s financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and recordkeeping practices under income tax regulations. For instance, a Fund’s internal accounting records and practices may take into account, among other factors, tax-related
characteristics of certain sources of distributions that differ from treatment under U.S. GAAP. Examples of such differences may include but are not limited to, for certain funds, the treatment of periodic payments under interest rate swap contracts. Accordingly, among other consequences, it is possible that a Fund may not issue a Section 19 Notice in situations where the Fund’s financial statements prepared later and in accordance with U.S. GAAP and/or the final tax character of those distributions might later report that the sources of those distributions included capital gains and/or a return of capital. Please visit www.pimco.com for the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, for additional information regarding the estimated composition of distributions. Final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be provided to shareholders when such information is available. Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital at a Fund’s fiscal year end, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid in capital on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between distributable earnings (accumulated loss) and paid in capital on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to more appropriately conform U.S. GAAP to tax characterizations of distributions.
(c) New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Updates In September 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to Rule
35d-1
under the Act, which governs fund naming conventions (the “Names Rule”). In general, the Names Rule requires funds with certain types of names to adopt a policy to invest at least 80% of their assets in the type of investment suggested by the name. The amendments expand the scope of the current rule to include any term used in a fund name that suggests the fund makes investments that have, or whose issuers have, particular characteristics. Additionally, the amendments modify the circumstances under which a fund may deviate from its 80% investment policy and address the calculation methodology of derivatives instruments for purposes of the rule. Changes to a fund’s calculation methodology for derivatives instruments for purposes of Rule 35d-1
consistent with such amendments and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof will not constitute a change to a fund’s policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1

(Cont.) |
and will not require notice or shareholder approval. The amendments became effective December 11, 2023. On March 14, 2025, the SEC extended the compliance date from December 11, 2025 to June 11, 2026 for fund groups with $1 billion or more in net assets and modified the operation of the compliance dates to allow for compliance based on the timing of certain annual disclosure and reporting obligations that are tied to a fund’s fiscal
year-end.
At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements. In December 2023, FASB issued ASU
2023-09,
which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09
is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Management has implemented changes in connection with the amendments and where applicable included additional disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements. 3. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
(a) Investment Valuation Policies The NAV of a Fund’s shares, or each of its share classes, as applicable, is determined by dividing the total value of portfolio investments and other assets attributable to the Fund or class, less any liabilities, as applicable, by the total number of shares outstanding.
On each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, each Fund’s shares are ordinarily valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) (“NYSE Close”). Information that becomes known to the Funds or their agents after the time as of which NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or the NAV determined earlier that day. If regular trading on the NYSE closes earlier than scheduled, each Fund may calculate its NAV as of the earlier closing time or calculate its NAV as of the NYSE Close for that day. Each Fund generally does not calculate its NAV on days on which the NYSE is not open for business. If the NYSE is closed on a day it would normally be open for business, each Fund may calculate its NAV as of the NYSE Close for such day or such other time that each Fund may determine.
For purposes of calculating NAV, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A market quotation is readily available only when that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that a Fund can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices or the last reported sales prices. The Funds will normally use pricing data
for domestic equity securities received shortly after the NYSE Close and do not normally take into account trading, clearances or settlements that take place after the NYSE Close. A foreign
(non-U.S.)
equity security traded on a foreign exchange or on more than one exchange is typically valued using pricing information from the exchange considered by PIMCO to be the primary exchange. If market value pricing is used, a foreign (non-U.S.)
equity security will be valued as of the close of trading on the foreign exchange or the NYSE Close if the NYSE Close occurs before the end of trading on the foreign exchange. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule
2a-5
under the Act. As a general principle, the fair value of a security or other asset is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5,
the Board has designated PIMCO as the valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”) for each Fund to perform the fair value determination relating to all Fund investments. PIMCO may carry out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through various teams and committees. The Valuation Designee’s policies and procedures govern the Valuation Designee’s selection and application of methodologies for determining and calculating the fair value of Fund portfolio investments. The Valuation Designee may value Fund portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available and other Fund assets utilizing inputs from pricing services, quotation reporting systems, valuation agents and other third-party sources (together, “Pricing Sources”). Domestic and foreign
(non-U.S.)
fixed income securities, non-exchange
traded derivatives and equity options are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or Pricing Sources using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities. Prices obtained from Pricing Sources may be based on, among other things, information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Common stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), exchange-traded notes and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, rights and warrants, or options on futures that are traded on a national securities exchange, are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. Exchange traded options, except equity options, futures and options on futures, are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Swap agreements and swaptions are valued on the basis of bid quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or market-based prices supplied by Pricing Sources. With respect to any portion of a Fund’s assets that are invested in one or 34 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
December 31, 2025 |
more
open-end
management investment companies (other than ETFs), a Fund’s NAV will be calculated based on the NAVs of such investments. Open-end
management investment companies may include affiliated funds. If a foreign
(non-U.S.)
equity security’s value has materially changed after the close of the security’s primary exchange or principal market but before the NYSE Close, the security may be valued at fair value. Foreign (non-U.S.)
equity securities that do not trade when the NYSE is open are also valued at fair value. With respect to foreign (non-U.S.)
equity securities, a Fund may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by Pricing Sources, which may recommend fair value or adjustments with reference to other securities, indexes or assets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the Valuation Designee may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indexes) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the NYSE Close. A Fund may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of foreign (non-U.S.)
securities. For these purposes, unless otherwise determined by the Valuation Designee, any movement in the applicable reference index or instrument (“zero trigger”) between the earlier close of the applicable foreign market and the NYSE Close may be deemed to be a significant event, prompting the application of the pricing model (effectively resulting in daily fair valuations). Foreign exchanges may permit trading in foreign (non-U.S.)
equity securities on days when a Fund is not open for business, which may result in a Fund’s portfolio investments being affected when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from Pricing Sources. As a result, the value of such investments and, in turn, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of investments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that a Fund is not open for business. As a result, to the extent that a Fund holds foreign
(non-U.S.)
investments, the value of those investments may change at times when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares and the value of such investments will be reflected in each Fund’s next calculated NAV. An alternative exchange rate may be obtained from a Pricing Source or an exchange rate may otherwise be determined if believed to be more reflective of the rates at which a Fund may transact. Whole loans may be fair valued using inputs that take into account borrower- or loan-level data (e.g., credit risk of the borrower) that is updated periodically throughout the life of each individual loan; any
new borrower- or loan-level data received in written reports periodically by a Fund normally will be taken into account in calculating the NAV. A Fund’s whole loan investments, including those originated by the Fund or through an alternative lending platform, generally are fair valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.
Fair valuation may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Funds’ and Valuation Designee’s policies and procedures are intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, a Fund cannot ensure that fair values accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.
(b) Fair Value Hierarchy U.S. GAAP describes fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into levels (Level 1, 2 or 3). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
∎ |
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities. |
∎ |
Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs. |
∎ |
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Valuation Designee that are used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Assets or liabilities categorized as Level 2 or 3 as of period end have been transferred between Levels 2 and 3 since the prior period due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are a result of the availability of current and reliable market-based data provided by Pricing Sources or other valuation techniques which utilize significant observable inputs. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.

(Cont.) |
For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to realized gain (loss), unrealized appreciation (depreciation), purchases and sales, accrued discounts (premiums), and transfers into and out of the Level 3 category during the period. The end of period value is used for the transfers between fair value Levels of a Fund’s assets and liabilities. Additionally, U.S. GAAP requires quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of assets or liabilities categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy and, if material, a Level 3 reconciliation and details of significant unobservable inputs, have been included in the Notes to Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.
(c) Valuation Techniques and the Fair Value Hierarchy
Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 trading assets and trading liabilities, at fair value The valuation methods (or “techniques”) and significant inputs used in determining the fair values of portfolio securities or other assets and liabilities categorized as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Common stocks, ETFs, exchange-traded notes and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, rights and warrants, or options on futures that are traded on a national securities exchange, are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered
open-end
investment companies (other than ETFs) will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in unregistered open-end
investment companies will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments and are considered Level 1 provided that the NAVs are observable, calculated daily and are the value at which both purchases and sales will be conducted. Fixed income securities including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. treasury obligations, sovereign issues, bank loans, convertible preferred securities,
non-U.S.
bonds and short-term debt instruments (such as commercial paper, time deposits and certificates of deposit) are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or Pricing Sources that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The Pricing Sources’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis or as a repurchase commitment in a sale-buyback transaction are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Expected recovery valuation estimates that the fair value of an existing asset can be recovered, net of any liability. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Discounted Cash Flow model is based on future cash flows generated by the investment and may be normalized based on expected investment performance. Future cash flows are discounted to present value using an appropriate rate of return, typically calibrated to the initial transaction date and adjusted based on Capital Asset Pricing Model and/or other market-based inputs. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities may be valued based on purchase prices of privately negotiated transactions. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term debt instruments (such as commercial paper, time deposits and certificates of deposit) having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instruments is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. These securities are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the source of the base price.
When a fair valuation method is applied by PIMCO that uses significant unobservable inputs, investments will be priced by a method that the Valuation Designee believes reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Investments in Securities
The Funds may utilize the investments and strategies described below to the extent permitted by each Fund’s respective investment policies.
Loans and Other Indebtedness, Loan Participations and Assignments
are direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may
36 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
December 31, 2025 |
be in the form of direct investments, participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties or exposure to investments in loans through investments in a mutual fund or other pooled investment vehicle. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “agent”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the agent that is selling the loan agreement.
In the event of the insolvency of the agent selling a participation, a Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the agent and may not benefit from any
set-off
between the agent and the borrower. When a Fund purchases assignments from agents it acquires direct rights against the borrowers of the loans. These loans may include participations in bridge loans, which are loans taken out by borrowers for a short period (typically less than one year) pending arrangement of more permanent financing through, for example, the issuance of bonds, frequently high yield bonds issued for the purpose of acquisitions. Investments in loans are generally subject to risks similar to those of investments in other types of debt obligations, including, among others, credit risk, interest rate risk, variable and floating rate securities risk, and risks associated with mortgage-related securities. In addition, in many cases loans are subject to the risks associated with below-investment grade securities. The Funds may be subject to heightened or additional risks and potential liabilities and costs by investing in mezzanine and other subordinated loans, including those arising under bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, equitable subordination, environmental and other laws and regulations, and risks and costs associated with debt servicing and taking foreclosure actions associated with the loans.
Additionally, because loans are not ordinarily registered with the SEC or any state securities commission or listed on any securities exchange, there is usually less publicly available information about such instruments. In addition, loans may not be considered “securities” for purposes of the anti-fraud provisions under the federal securities laws and, as a result, as a purchaser of these instruments, a Fund may not be entitled to the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws. In the course of investing in such instruments, a Fund may come into possession of material nonpublic information and, because of prohibitions on trading in securities of issuers while in possession of such information, the Fund may be unable to enter into a transaction in a publicly-traded security of that issuer when it would otherwise be advantageous for the Fund to do so. Alternatively, a Fund may choose
not to receive material nonpublic information about an issuer of such loans, with the result that the Fund may have less information about such issuers than other investors who transact in such assets.
The types of loans and related investments in which the Funds may invest include, among others, senior loans, subordinated loans (including second lien loans,
B-Notes
and mezzanine loans), whole loans, commercial real estate and other commercial loans and structured loans. The Funds may acquire direct interests in loans through primary loan distributions and/or in private transactions. In the case of subordinated loans, there may be significant indebtedness ranking ahead of the borrower’s obligation to the holder of such a loan, including in the event of the borrower’s insolvency. Mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of an equity interest in the mortgage borrower that owns the real estate rather than an interest in a mortgage. Each Fund may invest in and/or originate loans, including, without limitation, to, on behalf of, authorized by, sponsored by, and/or in connection with a project for which authority and responsibility lies with one or more U.S. states or territories, cities in a U.S. state or territory, or political subdivisions, agencies, authorities or instrumentalities of such states, territories or cities, which may be in the form of whole loans, assignments, participations, secured and unsecured notes, senior and second lien loans, mezzanine loans, bridge loans or similar investments. This may include loans to public or private firms or individuals, such as in connection with housing development projects. When investing in or originating loans, each Fund is not restricted by any particular credit risk criteria and/or qualifications. Each Fund also is not limited in the amount, size or type of loans it may invest in and/or originate, including with respect to a single borrower, other than pursuant to any applicable law. The loans a Fund invests in or originates may vary in maturity and/or duration. A Fund’s investment in or origination of loans may also be limited by the requirements the Fund intends to observe under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code in order to qualify as a “regulated investment company.” The loans acquired by a Fund may be “municipal bonds” (including of a particular state) for purposes of the Fund’s investment policies to invest a certain minimum of their assets in securities that produce income that is exempt from federal income tax and, as applicable, the income taxes of a particular state, or may be loans that produce income that is subject to applicable regular income tax, subject to the Fund’s investment limits. A Fund may seek to originate loans through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (each, a “Subsidiary” and for purposes of this disclosure, references to the Fund originating loans also shall refer to a loan originated by any applicable Subsidiary - accordingly, the Fund intends to “look through” any Subsidiary for purposes of determining compliance of loan-related investments with any applicable investment guidelines or covenants of any borrowings or preferred shares of the Fund, if any).

Notes to Financial Statements |
(Cont.) |
Investments in loans may include unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate a Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the committed amount may not be utilized by the borrower. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the agent selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the agent from the borrower. A Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a loan. In certain circumstances, a Fund may receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a loan by a borrower. Fees earned or paid are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. Unfunded loan commitments, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, loans on real property. Mortgage-related securities are interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans, including mortgage loans made by savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks and others. These securities typically provide a monthly payment which consists of both principal and interest payments. Interest may be determined by fixed or adjustable rates. In times of declining interest rates, there is a greater likelihood that a Fund’s higher yielding securities will be
pre-paid
with the Fund being unable to reinvest the proceeds in an investment with as great a yield. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may have the effect of shortening or extending the effective duration of the security relative to what was anticipated at the time of purchase. Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and repayment assumptions about those investments. The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Pools created and guaranteed by non-governmental
issuers, including government-sponsored corporations, may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. Many of the risks of investing in mortgage-related securities secured by commercial mortgage loans reflect the effects of local and other economic conditions on real estate markets, the ability of tenants to make lease payments and the ability of a property to attract and retain tenants. These securities may be less liquid and may exhibit greater price volatility than other types of mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. Other asset-backed securities are created from many types of assets, including, but not limited to, auto loans, accounts receivable such as credit card receivables and hospital account receivables, home equity loans, student loans, boat loans, mobile home loans, recreational vehicle loans, manufactured housing loans, aircraft leases, computer leases, syndicated bank loans, loans and litigation finance loans. The Funds may invest in any level of the capital structure of an issuer of mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities, including the equity or “first loss” tranche.
peer-to-peer
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations
(“CMOs”) are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by whole mortgage loans or private mortgage bonds and divided into classes. CMOs are structured into multiple classes, often referred to as “tranches,” with each class bearing a different stated maturity and entitled to a different schedule for payments of principal and interest, including prepayments. CMOs may be less liquid and may exhibit greater price volatility than other types of mortgage-related or asset-backed securities.
Restricted Investments
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may generally be sold privately, but may be required to be registered or exempted from such registration before being sold to the public. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Disposal of restricted investments may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult to achieve. Restricted investments held by the Funds as of December 31, 2025, as applicable, are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
Securities Issued by U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises are obligations of and, in certain cases, guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. The U.S. Government does not guarantee the NAV of a Fund’s shares. Some U.S. Government securities, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association, are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government; others, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”); and others, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”), are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations. U.S. Government securities may include zero coupon securities, which do not distribute interest on a current basis and tend to be subject to greater risk than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.

PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
December 31, 2025 |
Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). FNMA is a government-sponsored corporation. FNMA purchases conventional (i.e., not insured or guaranteed by any government agency) residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers which include state and federally chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers. Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC is a government sponsored corporation that issues Participation Certificates (“PCs”), which are pass-through securities, each representing an undivided interest in a pool of residential mortgages. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but PCs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Instead, they are supported only by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations.
When-Issued
Transactions are purchases or sales made on a when-issued basis. These transactions are made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not yet been issued in the market. Transactions to purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell these securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. A Fund may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain (loss). 5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
The Funds may enter into the borrowings and other financing transactions described below to the extent permitted by each Fund’s respective investment policies.
The following disclosures contain information on a Fund’s ability to lend or borrow cash or securities to the extent permitted under the Act, which may be viewed as borrowing or financing transactions by a Fund. The location of these instruments in each Fund’s financial statements is described below.
Tender Option Bond Transactions In a tender option bond transaction (“TOB”), a tender option bond trust (“TOB Trust”) issues floating rate certificates (“TOB Floater”) and residual interest certificates (“TOB Residual”) and utilizes the proceeds of such issuances to purchase a fixed rate municipal bond (“Fixed Rate Bond”) that is either owned or identified by a Fund. The TOB Floater is generally issued to third-party investors (typically a money market fund) and the TOB Residual is generally issued to a Fund that sold or identified the Fixed Rate Bond.
The TOB Trust divides the income stream provided by the Fixed Rate Bond to create two securities, the TOB Floater, which is a short-term security, and the TOB Residual, which is a longer-term security. The interest rates payable on the TOB Residual issued to a Fund bear an inverse relationship to the interest rate on the TOB Floater. The interest rate on the TOB Floater is reset by a remarketing process typically every 7 to 35 days. After income is paid on the TOB Floater at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bond goes to the TOB Residual. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the TOB Residual, and vice versa. In the case of a TOB Trust that utilizes the cash received (less transaction expenses) from the issuance of the TOB Floater and TOB Residual to purchase the Fixed Rate Bond from a Fund, a Fund may then invest the cash received in additional securities, generating leverage for the Fund. Other PIMCO-managed accounts may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB Trust into which a Fund has contributed Fixed Rate Bonds. If multiple PIMCO-managed accounts participate in the same TOB Trust, the economic rights and obligations under the TOB Residual will be shared among the funds ratably in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust.
The TOB Residual may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity. In most circumstances the TOB Residual holder bears substantially all of the underlying Fixed Rate Bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits from any appreciation in the value of the underlying Fixed Rate Bond. Investments in a TOB Residual typically will involve greater risk than investments in Fixed Rate Bonds.
A TOB Residual held by a Fund provides the Fund with the right to: (i) cause the holders of the TOB Floater to tender their notes at par, and (ii) cause the sale of the Fixed Rate Bond held by the TOB Trust, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust. TOB Trusts are generally supported by a liquidity facility provided by a third-party bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that provides for the purchase of TOB Floaters that cannot be remarketed. The holders of the TOB Floaters have the right to tender their certificates in exchange for payment of par plus accrued interest on a periodic basis (typically weekly) or on the occurrence of certain mandatory tender events. The tendered TOB Floaters are remarketed by a remarketing agent, which is typically an affiliated entity of the Liquidity Provider. If the TOB Floaters cannot be remarketed, the TOB Floaters are purchased by the TOB Trust either from the proceeds of a loan from the Liquidity Provider or from a liquidation of the Fixed Rate Bond.
The TOB Trust may also be collapsed without the consent of a Fund, as the TOB Residual holder, upon the occurrence of certain “tender option termination events” (or “TOTEs”) as defined in the TOB Trust agreements. Such termination events typically include the bankruptcy or default of the Fixed Rate Bond, a substantial downgrade in credit

(Cont.) |
quality of the Fixed Rate Bond, or a judgment or ruling that interest on the Fixed Rate Bond is subject to Federal income taxation. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, the TOB Trust would generally be liquidated in full with the proceeds typically applied first to any accrued fees owed to the trustee, remarketing agent and liquidity provider, and then to the holders of the TOB Floater up to par plus accrued interest owed on the TOB Floater and a portion of gain share, if any, with the balance paid out to the TOB Residual holder. In the case of a mandatory termination event, after the payment of fees, the TOB Floater holders would be paid before the TOB Residual holders (i.e., the Funds). In contrast, in the case of a TOTE, after payment of fees, the TOB Floater holders and the TOB Residual holders would be paid pro rata in proportion to the respective face values of their certificates.
If there are insufficient proceeds from the liquidation of the TOB Trust, the party that would bear the losses would depend upon whether a Fund holds a
non-recourse
TOBs Residual or a recourse TOBs Residual. If a Fund holds a non-recourse
TOBs Residual, the Liquidity Provider or holders of the TOBs Floaters would bear the losses on those securities and there would be no recourse to the Fund’s assets. If a Fund holds a recourse TOBs Residual, the Fund (and, indirectly, holders of the Fund’s Common Shares) would typically bear the losses. In particular, if a Fund holds a recourse TOBs Residual, it will typically have entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Fund would be required to pay to the Liquidity Provider the difference between the purchase price of any TOBs Floaters put to the Liquidity Provider by holders of the TOBs Floaters and the proceeds realized from the remarketing of those TOBs Floaters or the sale of the assets in the TOBs Issuer. Each Fund may invest in both non-recourse
and recourse TOBs Residuals to leverage its portfolio. Each Fund’s transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds to a TOB Trust is considered a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. The cash received by the TOB Trust from the sale of the TOB Floaters, less certain transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund. A Fund typically invests the cash received in additional municipal bonds. The Funds account for the transactions described above as secured borrowings by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in their Schedules of Investments, and account for the TOB Floater as a liability under the caption “Payable for tender option bond floating rate certificates” in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by each Fund on an accrual basis and is shown as interest on the Statements of Operations. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing is shown as interest expense on the Statements of Operations.
The Funds may also purchase TOB Residuals in a secondary market transaction without transferring a fixed rate municipal bond into a TOB
Trust. Such transactions are not accounted for as secured borrowings but rather as a security purchase with the TOB Residual being included in the Schedule of Investments.
In December 2013, regulators finalized rules implementing Section 619 (the “Volcker Rule”) and Section 941 (the “Risk Retention Rules”) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Both the Volcker Rule and the Risk Retention Rules apply to tender option bond programs. The Volcker Rule precludes banking entities from (i) sponsoring or acquiring interests in the trusts used to hold a municipal bond in the creation of TOB Trusts; and (ii) continuing to service or maintain relationships with existing programs involving TOB Trusts to the same extent and in the same capacity as existing programs. The Risk Retention Rules require the sponsor to a TOB Trust (e.g., a Fund) to retain at least five percent of the credit risk of the underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to engage in tender option bond trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
In response to these rules, industry participants explored various structuring alternatives for TOB Trusts established after December 31, 2013 and TOB Trusts established prior to December 31, 2013 (“Legacy TOB Trusts”) and agreed on a new tender option bond structure in which the Funds hire service providers to assist with establishing, structuring and sponsoring a TOB Trust. Service providers to a TOB Trust, such as administrators, liquidity providers, trustees and remarketing agents act at the direction of, and as agent of, the Funds as the TOB residual holders.
The Funds have restructured their Legacy TOB Trusts in conformity with regulatory guidelines. Under the new TOB Trust structure, the Liquidity Provider or remarketing agent will no longer purchase the tendered TOB Floaters, even in the event of failed remarketing. This may increase the likelihood that a TOB Trust will need to be collapsed and liquidated in order to purchase the tendered TOB Floaters. The TOB Trust may draw upon a loan from the Liquidity Provider to purchase the tendered TOB Floaters. Any loans made by the Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased TOB Floaters held by the TOB Trust and will be subject to an interest rate agreed upon with the liquidity provider.
For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Funds’ average leverage outstanding from the use of TOB transactions and the daily weighted average interest rate, including fees, were as follows:

AMT Bonds Risk is the risk that “AMT Bonds,” which are municipal securities that pay interest that is taxable under the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to noncorporate taxpayers, may expose a Fund to certain risks in addition to those typically associated with municipal bonds. Interest or principal on AMT Bonds paid out of current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific asset may be adversely impacted by declines in revenue from the project or asset. Declines in general business activity could also affect the economic viability of facilities that are the sole source of revenue to support AMT Bonds. In this regard, AMT Bonds may entail greater risks than general obligation municipal bonds. AMT Bonds may also be less liquid than other municipal securities, which could make them more difficult to sell in stressed market conditions. In addition, changes in federal tax law could alter the treatment of AMT Bonds. For shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, a portion of a Fund’s distributions may not be exempt from gross federal income, which may give rise to alternative minimum tax liability.
Asset Allocation Risk is the risk that a Fund could experience losses as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions. A Fund could miss attractive investment opportunities by underweighting markets that subsequently experience significant returns and could experience losses as a result of these allocation decisions, which could result in the Fund being underweight or overweight in sectors, asset classes or geographies that perform differently than expected.
California State-Specific Risk is the risk that a Fund, by investing in municipal bonds issued by or on behalf of the State of California and its political subdivisions, financing authorities and their agencies, may be affected significantly by political, economic, regulatory, social, environmental or public health developments affecting the ability of California
tax-exempt
issuers to pay interest or repay principal. Call Risk is the risk that an issuer may exercise its right to redeem a fixed income security earlier than expected (a call). Issuers may call

Notes to Financial Statements |
(Cont.) |
outstanding securities prior to their maturity for a number of reasons (e.g., declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the issuer’s credit quality). If an issuer calls a security that a Fund has invested in, the Fund may not recoup the full amount of its initial investment or may not realize the full anticipated earnings from the investment and may be forced to reinvest in lower-yielding securities, securities with greater credit risks or securities with other, less favorable features.
Confidential Information Access Risk is the risk that, in managing a Fund (and other PIMCO clients), PIMCO may from time to time have the opportunity to receive material,
non-public
information (“Confidential Information”) about the issuers of certain investments, including, without limitation, senior floating rate loans, other loans and related investments being considered for acquisition by the Fund or held in the Fund’s portfolio. If PIMCO intentionally or unintentionally comes into possession of Confidential Information, it may be unable, potentially for a substantial period of time, to purchase or sell investments to which such Confidential Information relates. Counterparty Risk is the risk that a Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative contracts and other instruments entered into by the Fund or held by special purpose or structured vehicles in which the Fund invests. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, a Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery (including recovery of any collateral it has provided to the counterparty) in a dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation,
winding-up,
bankruptcy, or other analogous proceeding. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having concentrated exposure to a single counterparty, which may increase potential losses if the counterparty were to become insolvent. Credit Default Swaps Risk is the risk of investing in credit default swaps, including illiquidity risk, counterparty risk, leverage risk and credit risk. A buyer generally also will lose its investment and recover nothing should no credit event occur and the swap is held to its termination date. If a credit event were to occur, the value of any deliverable obligation received by the seller (if any), coupled with the upfront or periodic payments previously received, may be less than the full notional value it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to the seller. When a Fund acts as a seller of a credit default swap, it is exposed to many of the same risks of leverage described herein. As the seller, a Fund would receive a stream of payments over the term of the swap agreement provided that no event of default has occurred with respect to the referenced debt obligation upon which the swap is based. A Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, if
a default occurs, the stream of payments may stop and, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. In addition, selling credit default swaps may not be profitable for a Fund if no secondary market exists or the Fund is otherwise unable to close out these transactions at advantageous times.
Credit Risk is the risk that a Fund could experience losses if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security (including a security purchased with securities lending collateral), the counterparty to a derivatives contract, or the issuer or guarantor of collateral, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments or to otherwise honor its financial obligations. Credit risk also includes credit spread risk, which is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to the difference in their actual or perceived credit quality) may increase when the market believes that investments generally have a greater risk of default.
Cyber Security Risk is the risk that, as the use of complex information technology and communication systems, including cloud-based technology, has become more prevalent and interconnected in the course of business, the Funds have become potentially more susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from breaches in cyber security despite the efforts of PIMCO, the Funds, or their service providers to adopt technologies, processes, and practices intended to mitigate these risks. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional cyber events that may, among other things, cause a Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption and/ or destruction, lose operational capacity, result in the unauthorized release or other misuse of confidential information or otherwise disrupt normal business operations. Geopolitical tensions can increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate cybersecurity attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing, who may desire to use cybersecurity attacks to cause damage or create leverage against geopolitical rivals. Cyber security failures or breaches may result in financial losses to a Fund and its shareholders. These failures or breaches may also result in disruptions to business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses; interference with a Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, process shareholder transactions or otherwise transact business with shareholders; impediments to trading; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines; penalties; third-party claims in litigation; reputational damage; reimbursement or other compensation costs; additional compliance and cyber security risk management costs and other adverse consequences. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in

order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. There is also a risk that cyber security breaches may not be detected. The Funds and their shareholders may suffer losses as a result of a cyber security breach related to the Funds, their service providers, trading counterparties or the issuers in which a Fund invests.
Derivatives Risk is the risk of investing in derivative instruments (such as forwards, futures, options, swaps and structured securities) and other similar investments, including leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market, counterparty (including credit), operational, legal and management risks, and valuation complexity. Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar investment may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, rate or index, and a Fund could lose more than the initial amount invested. In addition, the use of derivatives may cause a Fund’s investment returns to be impacted by the performance of assets the Fund does not own, potentially resulting in the Fund’s total investment exposure exceeding the value of its portfolio.
Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar instrument may also create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for a Fund. A Fund’s use of derivatives or other similar investments may result in losses to the Fund, a reduction in the Fund’s returns and/or increased volatility.
Non-centrally
cleared over-the-counter
non-centrally
cleared OTC derivatives or other similar investments. The primary credit risk on derivatives or other similar investments that are exchange-traded or traded through a central clearing counterparty resides with a Fund’s clearing broker or the clearinghouse. Changes in regulations relating to a registered fund’s use of derivatives and related instruments could potentially limit or impact a Fund’s ability to invest in derivatives, limit a Fund’s ability to employ certain strategies that use derivatives or other similar investments and/ or adversely affect the value of derivatives or other similar investments and a Fund’s performance. Distribution Rate Risk is the risk that, although a Fund may seek to maintain level distributions, the Fund’s distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, Fund performance and other factors. There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in a Fund’s distribution rate or that the rate will be sustainable in the future.
Focused Investment Risk is the risk that, to the extent that a Fund focuses its investments in a particular industry, country or geographic region, the NAV of its common shares will be more susceptible to events or factors affecting companies in that industry, country or geographic region.
High Yield Securities Risk is the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds”) are subject to greater levels of market, credit, call and liquidity risks, including the risk that a court will subordinate high yield senior debt to other debt of the issuer or take other actions detrimental to holders of the senior debt. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative by rating agencies with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments, and their values may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity.
Illinois State-Specific Risk is the risk that by concentrating its investments in Illinois municipal bonds, the Fund may be affected significantly by economic, regulatory, social, environmental, public health or political developments affecting the ability of Illinois issuers to pay interest or repay principal.
Inflation/Deflation Risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from a Fund’s investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of payments at future dates. As inflation increases, the real value of a Fund’s portfolio could decline. Inflation rates may change frequently and significantly as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy or changes in fiscal or monetary policies. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of a Fund’s portfolio and common shares.
Insurance Risk is the risk that a Fund may purchase municipal securities that are secured by insurance, bank credit agreements or escrow accounts and the credit quality of the companies that provide such credit enhancements will affect the value of those securities. The insurance feature of a municipal security does not guarantee the full payment of principal and interest through the life of an insured obligation, the market value of the insured obligation or the net asset value of the common shares represented by such insured obligation.
Insurance-Linked and Other Instruments Risk is the risk that a Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in insurance- linked instruments and similar investments (which may include, for example, event-linked bonds, such as catastrophe and resilience bonds, and securities relating to life insurance policies, annuity contracts and premium finance loans).

Notes to Financial Statements |
(Cont.) |
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that fixed income securities and other instruments in a Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration. Factors such as government policy, inflation, the economy, and market for bonds can impact interest rates and yields.
Issuer Risk is the risk that the value of a security may decline for reasons related to the issuer, such as management performance, major litigation, investigations or other controversies, changes in the issuer’s financial condition or credit rating, changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or its competitive environment and strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions or dispositions and the market response to any such initiatives, financial leverage, reputation or reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.
Leverage Risk is the risk that certain transactions of a Fund, such as direct borrowing from banks, reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, and derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, magnifying gains and losses and causing a Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. There can be no assurance these circumstances will occur. This means that leverage entails a heightened risk of loss. The use of leverage may also increase a Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes and other market risks. When a Fund reduces or discontinues its use of leverage (“deleveraging”), which it may be required to do at inopportune times, it may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times to repay leverage obligations, which could result in realized losses and a decrease in the Fund’s net asset value. The use of leverage may also increase a Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate risks.
Liquidity Risk is the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that a Fund may be unable to sell investments at an advantageous time or price or possibly require a Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations, which could prevent the Fund from taking advantage of other investment opportunities. Additionally, the market for certain investments may become illiquid under adverse market or economic conditions independent of any specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer, such as during political events (including periods of rapid interest rate changes). There can be no assurance that an investment that is deemed to be liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid while it is held by a Fund and/or when the Fund wishes to dispose of it.
Loan Origination Risk is the risk associated with the fact that a Fund may also seek to originate loans, including, without limitation,
residential and/or commercial real estate or mortgage-related loans, consumer loans or other types of loans, which may be in the form of whole loans, secured and unsecured notes, senior and second lien loans, mezzanine loans, bridge loans or similar investments. A Fund may originate loans to corporations and/or other legal entities and individuals, including foreign
(non-U.S.)
entities and individuals. Such borrowers may have credit ratings that are determined by one or more NRSROs or PIMCO to be below investment grade. This may include loans to public or private firms or individuals, such as in connection with housing development projects. The loans a Fund invests in or originates may vary in maturity and/or duration. A Fund is not limited in the amount, size or type of loans it may invest in and/or originate, including with respect to a single borrower or with respect to borrowers that are determined to be below investment grade, other than pursuant to any applicable law. A Fund’s investment in or origination of loans may also be limited by the requirements the Fund intends to observe under Subchapter M of the Code in order to qualify as a RIC. A Fund may subsequently offer such investments for sale to third parties, provided that there is no assurance that a Fund will complete the sale of such an investment. If a Fund is unable to sell, assign or successfully close transactions for the loans that it originates, the Fund will be forced to hold its interest in such loans for an indeterminate period of time. This could result in a Fund’s investments having high exposure to certain borrowers. A Fund will be responsible for the expenses associated with originating a loan (whether or not consummated). This may include significant legal and due diligence expenses, which will be indirectly borne by a Fund and Common Shareholders. Loans and Other Indebtedness; Loan Acquisitions, Participations and Assignments Risk is the risk that scheduled interest or principal payments will not be made in a timely manner or at all, either of which may adversely affect the values of a loan. Additionally, there is a risk that the collateral underlying a loan may be unavailable or insufficient to satisfy a borrower’s obligation, and a Fund could become part owner of any collateral if a loan is foreclosed, subjecting a Fund to costs associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling a participation, there is a risk that a Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any
set-off
between the lender and the borrower. If a loan is foreclosed, a Fund may become owner of the loan’s collateral. A Fund may bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and holding or disposing of the collateral. There is the risk that a Fund may have difficulty disposing of loans and loan participations due to the lack of a liquid secondary market for loans and loan participations.
To the extent a Fund invests in loans or originates loans, including bank loans, the Fund may be subject to greater levels of credit risk, call

risk, settlement risk, risk of subordination to other creditors, insufficient or lack of protection under federal securities laws and liquidity risk than funds that do not acquire such instruments.
Management Risk is the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO, including the use of quantitative models or methods, will not produce the desired results and that actual or perceived conflicts of interest, legislative, regulatory or tax restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio managers in connection with managing the Fund and may cause PIMCO to restrict or prohibit participation in certain investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of a Fund will be achieved.
Market Risk is the risk that the value of securities owned by a Fund may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to a variety of factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries, sectors or companies.
Market Discount Risk is the risk that the price of a Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. Shares of
closed-end
management investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. Market Disruptions Risk is the risk of investment and operational risks associated with financial, economic and other global market developments and disruptions, including those arising from actual or threatened war or armed conflicts, military conflicts, geopolitical disputes, terrorism, social or political unrest, recessions, supply chain disruptions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, sanctions, market manipulation, government interventions, defaults and shutdowns, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), bank failures and natural/environmental disasters, climate change and climate-related events, which can all negatively impact the securities markets, interest rates, auctions, secondary trading, ratings, credit risk, inflation, deflation and other factors, causing a Fund to lose value. These events can also impair the technology and other operational systems upon which a Fund’s service providers, including PIMCO as a Fund’s investment adviser, rely, and could otherwise disrupt a Fund’s service providers’ ability to fulfill their obligations to a Fund.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk is the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk, prepayment risk and credit risk. A Fund may invest in any tranche of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including junior and/or equity tranches (to the extent consistent with the Fund’s guidelines), which generally carry higher levels of the foregoing risks.
Mortgage-Related Derivative Instruments Risk is the risk of investing in derivative mortgage-backed securities, including call risk and extension risk. Small changes in mortgage prepayments can significantly impact the cash flows and the market value of these derivative instruments. In addition, particular derivative instruments may be leveraged such that their exposure (i.e., price sensitivity) to interest rate risk and/or prepayment risk is magnified.
Municipal Bond Risk is the risk that a Fund may be affected significantly by the economic, regulatory, social, environmental, public health or political developments affecting the ability of issuers of debt securities whose interest is, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer at the time of issuance, exempt from federal income tax to pay interest or repay principal.
Municipal Project-Specific Risk is the risk that a Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in the bonds of specific projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), industrial development bonds, or in bonds from issuers in a single state.
Municipal Project Housing-Related Risk is the risk associated with investing in the bonds of projects focused on
low-income,
affordable or other housing developments and businesses located in low-income
areas or invest in or originate loans that finance or are generally related to such projects. There are significant risks associated with the Fund’s investment in the bonds of these types of projects and loans related to such projects. There may be federal, state and local governmental regulatory restrictions on the operation, rental and transfer of these projects. These restrictions may adversely affect economic performance relative to properties that are not subject to these restrictions. There are also no assurances that a project owner will be able to achieve and maintain sufficient rental income in order to pay all operating expenses and maintenance and repair costs of such a project and the debt service on the related bonds or loan on a timely basis. New York State-Specific Risk is the risk that a Fund, by investing in municipal bonds issued by or on behalf of the State of New York and its political subdivisions, financing authorities and their agencies, may be affected significantly by political, economic, regulatory, social, environmental, or public health developments affecting the ability of New York
tax-exempt
issuers to pay interest or repay principal. Operational Risk is the risk arising from factors such as processing errors, human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, failures in systems and technology, changes in personnel and errors caused by third-party service providers. The occurrence of any of these failures, errors or breaches could result in a loss of

Notes to Financial Statements |
(Cont.) |
information, regulatory scrutiny, reputational damage or other events, any of which could have a material adverse effect on a Fund. While a Fund seeks to minimize such events through controls and oversight, there may still be failures that could cause losses to the Fund.
Other Investment Companies Risk is the risk that Common Shareholders may be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies. In addition, these other investment companies may utilize leverage, in which case an investment would subject the Fund to additional risks associated with leverage.
Portfolio Turnover Risk is the risk that a high portfolio turnover will result in greater expenses to a Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer
mark-ups
and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. The higher the rate of portfolio turnover of a Fund, the higher these transaction costs borne by the Fund generally will be. Such sales may result in realization of taxable capital gains (including short-term capital gains, which are generally taxed to shareholders at ordinary income tax rates when distributed net of short-term capital losses and net long-term capital losses) and may adversely affect a Fund’s after-tax
returns. The realization of short-term capital gains may also cause adverse tax consequences for a Fund’s shareholders. Potential Conflicts of Interest Risk — Allocation of Investment Opportunities is the risk that PIMCO’s or any of its affiliate’s interests or the interests of its clients may conflict with those of the Funds and the results of a Fund’s investment activities may differ from those of the Fund’s affiliates, or another account managed by PIMCO or its affiliates, and it is possible that a Fund could sustain losses during periods in which one or more of the Fund’s affiliates and/or other accounts managed by PIMCO or its affiliates, including proprietary accounts, achieve profits on their trading.
Privacy and Data Security Risk is the risk resulting from the fact that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and other laws limit the disclosure of certain
non-public
personal information about a consumer to non-affiliated
third parties and require financial institutions to disclose certain privacy policies and practices with respect to information sharing with both affiliates and non-affiliated
third parties. Many states and a number of non-U.S.
jurisdictions have enacted privacy and data security laws requiring safeguards on the privacy and security of consumers’ personally identifiable information. Other laws deal with obligations to safeguard and dispose of private information in a manner designed to avoid its dissemination. Privacy rules adopted by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the SEC implement the GLBA and other requirements and govern the disclosure of consumer financial information by certain financial institutions, ranging from banks to private investment funds. U.S. platforms following certain models generally are required to have privacy policies that conform to these GLBA and other requirements. In addition, such platforms typically have policies and procedures intended to maintain platform participants’ personal information securely and dispose of it properly.
Private Placement and Restricted Securities Risk is the risk that securities received in a private placement may be subject to strict restrictions on resale, and there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchaser for such securities and the risk that a Fund’s investment in securities that have not been registered for public sale, but that are eligible for purchase and sale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, may be relatively less liquid than registered securities traded on established securities markets. Therefore, a Fund may be unable to dispose of such securities when it desires to do so, or at the most favorable time or price. Private placements may also raise valuation risks.
Puerto Rico-Specific Risk is the risk that by investing in municipal bonds issued by Puerto Rico or its instrumentalities, the Fund may be affected by certain developments, such as political, economic, environmental, social, public health, regulatory or debt restructuring developments, that impact the ability or obligation of Puerto Rico municipal issuers to pay interest or repay principal.
Regulatory Changes Risk is the risk associated with the fact that financial entities, such as investment companies and investment advisers, are generally subject to extensive government regulation and intervention. Government regulation and/or intervention may change the way a Fund is regulated, affect the expenses incurred directly by the Fund and the value of its investments, and limit and /or preclude the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objectives. Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences. The Funds and PIMCO have historically been eligible for exemptions from certain regulations. However, there is no assurance that a Fund and PIMCO will continue to be eligible for such exemptions. Moreover, government regulation may have unpredictable and unintended effects.
Regulatory Risk — Commodity Pool Operator is the risk associated with the CFTC’s adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and their investment advisers to regulation by the CFTC if the registered investment company invests more than a prescribed level of its liquidation value in futures, options on futures or commodities, swaps, or other financial instruments regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) and the rules thereunder (“commodity interests”), or if the fund markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. PIMCO is registered with the CFTC as a Commodity Pool Operator.

Reinvestment Risk is the risk that income from a Fund’s portfolio will decline if and when the Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called debt obligations at market interest rates that are below the portfolio’s current earnings rate. A Fund also may choose to sell higher yielding portfolio securities and to purchase lower yielding securities to achieve greater portfolio diversification, because the portfolio managers believe the current holdings are overvalued or for other investment-related reasons.
Repurchase Agreements Risk is the risk that, if the party agreeing to repurchase a security should default, a Fund will seek to sell the securities which it holds, which could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
Securities Lending Risk is the risk that, when a Fund lends portfolio securities, its investment performance will continue to reflect changes in the value of the securities loaned and lose rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent. A Fund may pay lending fees to a party arranging the loan, which may be an affiliate of the Fund.
Short Exposure Risk is the risk of entering into short sales or other short positions, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale or other short position will not fulfill its contractual obligations, causing a loss to a Fund.
Structured Investments Risk is the risk that a Fund’s investment in structured products, including structured notes, credit-linked notes and other types of structured products bear the risks of the underlying investments, index or reference obligation and are subject to counterparty risk. A Fund may have the right to receive payments only from the structured product, and generally does not have direct rights against the issuer or the entity that sold the assets to be securitized. Structured products generally entail risks associated with derivative instruments.
Tax Risk is the risk that if, in any year, a Fund were to fail to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Tax Code, and were ineligible to or did not otherwise cure such failure, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates and, when such income is distributed, shareholders would be subject to a further tax to the extent of the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits.
U.S. Government Securities Risk is the risk that the obligations supported by (i) the full faith and credit of the United States, (ii) the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, (iii) the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the
agency’s obligations (iv) or only by the credit of the agency, instrumentality or corporation will not be satisfied in full, or that such obligations will decrease in value or default. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.
Valuation Risk is the risk that fair value pricing used when market quotations are not readily available may not result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets, or that fair value pricing may not reflect actual market value. It is possible that the fair value determined in good faith for a security or other asset will be materially different from quoted or published prices, from the prices used by others for the same security or other asset and/or from the value that actually could be or is realized upon the sale of that security or other asset.

(b) Other Risks
In general, a Fund may be subject to additional risks, including, but not limited to, risks related to government regulation and intervention in financial markets, operational risks, risks associated with financial, economic and global market disruptions, and cyber security risks. Please see a Fund’s then-currently effective prospectus and statement of additional information for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. Please see the Important Information section of this report for additional discussion of certain regulatory and market developments that may impact a Fund’s performance.
7. MASTER NETTING ARRANGEMENTS
A Fund may be subject to various netting arrangements (“Master Agreements”) with select counterparties. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and are intended to reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that is intended to improve legal certainty. Each type of Master Agreement governs certain types of transactions. Different types of transactions may be traded out of different legal entities or affiliates of a particular organization, resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow a Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with
ANNUAL REPORT |
| | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | 47 |
Notes to Financial Statements |
(Cont.) |
respect to all the transactions governed under a single Master Agreement with a counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, the Statements of Assets and Liabilities generally present derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures prior to netting.
Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at
pre-arranged
exposure levels. Under most Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold, which typically ranges from zero to $250,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. United States Treasury Bills and U.S. dollar cash are generally the preferred forms of collateral, although other securities may be used depending on the terms outlined in the applicable Master Agreement. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of Investments at value (securities) or Deposits with counterparty. Cash collateral received is not typically held in a segregated account and as such is reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposits from counterparty. The market value of any securities received as collateral is not reflected as a component of NAV. A Fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement. Master Repurchase Agreements and Global Master Repurchase Agreements (individually and collectively “Master Repo Agreements”) govern repurchase, reverse repurchase and certain sale-buyback transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default and maintenance of collateral. The market value of transactions under the Master Repo Agreement, collateral pledged or received, and the net exposure by counterparty as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern bilateral OTC derivative transactions entered into by a Fund with select counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral posting and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements. The ISDA Master Agreement may contain additional provisions that add
counterparty protection beyond coverage of existing daily exposure if the counterparty has a decline in credit quality below a predefined level or as required by regulation. Similarly, if required by regulation, a Fund may be required to post additional collateral beyond coverage of daily exposure. These amounts, if any, may (or if required by law, will) be segregated with a third-party custodian. To the extent a Fund is required by regulation to post additional collateral beyond coverage of daily exposure, it could potentially incur costs, including in procuring eligible assets to meet collateral requirements, associated with such posting. The market value of OTC financial derivative instruments, collateral received or pledged, and net exposure by counterparty as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
8. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Management Fee
PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America LLC (“Allianz Asset Management”) and serves as the Manager to the Funds, pursuant to an investment management agreement.
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement with PIMCO (the “Agreement”), and subject to the supervision of the Board, PIMCO is responsible for providing to each Fund investment guidance and policy direction in connection with the management of the Fund, including oral and written research, analysis, advice, and statistical and economic data and information. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement and subject to the general supervision of the Board, PIMCO, at its expense, provides or causes to be furnished most other supervisory and administrative services the Funds require, including but not limited to, expenses of most third-party service providers (e.g., audit, custodial, legal, transfer agency, printing) and other expenses, such as those associated with insurance, proxy solicitations and mailings for shareholder meetings, NYSE listing and related fees, tax services, valuation services and other services the Funds require for their daily operations.
Pursuant to the Agreement, PIMCO receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rates shown in the table below:

management, research and trading services to a Fund under the Memorandums of Understanding (“MOUs”). Each of the PIMCO Overseas Affiliates are Participating Affiliates of PIMCO as that term is used in relief granted by the staff of the SEC allowing U.S. registered advisers to use investment advisory and trading resources of unregistered advisory affiliates subject to the regulatory supervision of the registered adviser. Each PIMCO Overseas Affiliate and any of their respective employees who provide services to the Funds are considered under the MOUs to be “associated persons” of PIMCO as that term is defined in the Advisers Act for purposes of PIMCO’s required supervision.
(
so-called
“broken-deal costs” (e.g., fees, costs, expenses and liabilities, including, for example, due diligence-related fees, costs, expenses and liabilities, with respect to unconsummated investments))); (iv) expenses of the Fund’s securities lending (if any), including any securities lending agent fees, as governed by a separate securities lending agreement; (v) costs, including interest expenses, of borrowing money or engaging in other types of leverage financing, including, without limitation, through the use by the Fund of reverse repurchase agreements, tender option bonds, bank borrowings and credit facilities; (vi) costs, including dividend and/or interest expenses and other costs (including, without limitation, offering and related legal costs, fees to brokers, fees to auction agents, fees to transfer agents, fees to ratings agencies and fees to auditors associated with satisfying ratings agency requirements for preferred shares or other securities issued by the Fund and other related requirements in the Fund’s organizational documents) associated with the Fund’s issuance, offering, redemption and maintenance of preferred shares, commercial paper or other senior securities for the purpose of incurring leverage; (vii) fees and expenses of any underlying funds or other pooled vehicles in which the Fund invests; (viii) dividend and interest expenses on short positions taken by the Fund; (ix) fees and expenses, including travel expenses, and fees and expenses of legal counsel retained for their benefit, of Trustees who are not officers, employees, partners, shareholders or members of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (x) extraordinary expenses,
including extraordinary legal expenses, that may arise, including expenses incurred in connection with litigation, proceedings, other claims, and the legal obligations of the Fund to indemnify its Trustees, officers, employees, shareholders, distributors, and agents with respect thereto; (xi) organizational and offering expenses of the Funds, including with respect to share offerings, such as rights offerings and shelf offerings, following the Fund’s initial offering, and expenses associated with tender offers and other share repurchases and redemptions; and (xii) expenses of the Fund which are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Without limiting the generality or scope of the foregoing, it is understood that the Funds may bear such expenses either directly or indirectly through contracts or arrangements with PIMCO or an affiliated or unaffiliated third party.
Each of the Trustees of the Funds who is not an “interested person” under Section 2(a)(19) of the Act, (the “Independent Trustees”) also serves as a trustee of a number of other
closed-end
funds for which PIMCO serves as investment manager (together with the Funds, the “PIMCO Closed-End
Funds”), as well as PIMCO California Flexible Municipal Income Fund, PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund, PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund and PIMCO Flexible Municipal Income Fund, each a closed end management investment company managed by PIMCO that is operated as an “interval fund” and PIMCO Managed Accounts Trust, an open-end
management investment company with multiple series for which PIMCO serves as investment adviser and administrator. The Funds pay no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Manager, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Manager or its affiliates.
9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Manager is a related party. Fees payable to this party are disclosed in Note 8, Fees and Expenses, and the accrued related party fee amounts are disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Certain Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain related affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Funds from or to another fund or portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate, or an affiliate of an affiliate, by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with applicable SEC rules and interpretations under the Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Purchases and sales of securities pursuant to applicable SEC rules and interpretations

The Funds have received exemptive relief from the SEC that, to the extent the Funds rely on such relief, permits it to (among other things)
co-invest
with certain other persons, including certain affiliates of the Advisor and certain public or private funds managed by the Advisor and its affiliates, subject to certain terms and conditions. The exemptive relief from the SEC with respect to co-investments
imposes extensive conditions on any co-investments
made in reliance on such relief. 10. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under each Fund’s organizational documents, each Trustee and officer is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The
Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.
11. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time a Fund has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Fund is known as “portfolio turnover.” Each Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective(s), particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover may involve correspondingly greater transaction costs, including brokerage commissions or dealer
mark-ups
and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities, which are borne by a Fund. Frequent and active trading of a Fund’s portfolio holdings may cause adverse tax consequences for shareholders due to an increase in short-term capital gains and may also adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax
returns. The transaction costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect a Fund’s performance. The portfolio turnover rates are reported in the Financial Highlights. Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended December 31, 2025 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

12. PREFERRED SHARES
Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares On September 20, 2023, each of PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II and PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund, issued a single class of Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, Series 2053 (the “Series 2053 RVMTP Shares”). The Series 2053 RVMTP Shares have a term of 30 years, subject to remarketing every three years and in certain other instances.
On April 17, 2024, each of the Funds issued an additional series of preferred shares designated as Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, Series 2054 (the “Series 2054 RVMTP Shares”). The Series 2054 RVMTP Shares have a term of 30 years, subject to remarketing every five years and in certain other instances.
On June 12, 2024, each of the Funds issued an additional series of preferred shares designated as Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund
Term Preferred Shares, Series
2054-A
(the “Series 2054-A
RVMTP Shares,” and together with the Series 2053 RVMTP Shares and the Series 2054 RVMTP Shares, the “RVMTP Shares”). The Series 2054-A
RVMTP Shares have a term of 30 years, subject to remarketing every forty-two
months and in certain other instances. On August 1, 2025, the Funds conducted the reorganizations (the “Reorganizations”) of: (i) PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund II (“PCK”) and PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund III (“PZC” and together with PCK, the “CA Target Funds”) with and into PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund (“PCQ”) (the “CA Reorganizations”); (ii) PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund (“PNF”) and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund III (“PYN” and together with PNF, the “NY Target Funds”) with and into PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II (“PNI”) (the “NY Reorganizations”); and (iii) PIMCO Municipal Income Fund (“PMF”) and PIMCO Municipal Income Fund III (“PMX” together with PMF, the “National Target Funds;” and together with
50 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
December 31, 2025 |
the CA Target Funds and the NY Target Funds, the “Target Funds”) with and into PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II (“PML”) (the “National Reorganizations”). PCQ, PNI, and PML are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Acquiring Funds”. As part of each Reorganization, the outstanding RVMTP Shares of each Target Fund were, in effect, exchanged for RVMTP Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund (the “RVMTP Merger Shares”) with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to, and other terms that are substantially identical to, the corresponding series of RVMTP Shares of each such Target Fund. Following the Reorganizations, the holders of RVMTP Shares of each Target Fund became holders of RVMTP Merger Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. See Note 16, “Reorganizations,” for more information regarding the Reorganizations.
In the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the RVMTP Shares’ aggregate liquidation preference is shown as a liability since they are considered debt of the issuer. The liquidation value of the RVMTP Shares in each Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities is shown as a liability and represents their liquidation preference, which approximates fair value of the shares and is considered level 2 under the fair value hierarchy, less any unamortized debt issuance costs. The RVMTP Shares can be redeemed in whole or in part at a redemption price per share equal to (i) the liquidation preference of the RVMTP Shares ($100,000 per share) plus (ii) an amount equal to all unpaid dividends and other distributions accumulated from and including the date of issuance to (but excluding) the date of redemption (whether or not earned or declared by the applicable Fund, but without interest thereon) plus (iii) any applicable optional redemption premium.
Dividends paid with respect to the RVMTP Shares, which are payable monthly, are treated as interest expense, are accrued daily and are reflected, with respect to the RVMTP Shares, as a component of interest expense in the Statements of Operations. For the period ended December 31, 2025, the amount of the RVMTP Shares outstanding, interest expense related to the dividends paid to RVMTP Shares and the daily weighted average interest rate, including issuance costs, can be found in the table below.

Each Fund, at its option, may designate special terms applicable to all of the outstanding RVMTP Shares in a series for a certain period (a “Special Terms Period”) pursuant to a notice of special terms. Such special terms may differ from those provided in the current governing documents of the RVMTP Shares and may include, without limitation, changes to the dividend rate, dividend payment dates, redemption provisions (including, without limitation, the term redemption date or the Early Term Redemption Date (as defined below)), required effective leverage ratio and
gross-up
payment provisions; provided that such special terms do not affect the parity ranking of the RVMTP Shares to any other class or series of preferred shares then outstanding with respect to dividends or distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the affairs of a Fund. No Special Terms Period with respect to a series of RVMTP Shares will become effective unless certain conditions are satisfied, including that all of the RVMTP Shares in such series are remarketed (except with respect to any RVMTP Shares whose holders have elected to retain their RVMTP Shares for the Special Terms Period). A Special Terms Period will not become effective before the 24-month
anniversary (for the Series 2054-A
RVMTP Shares), 18-month
anniversary (for the Series 2054 RVMTP Shares) or 12-month
anniversary (for the Series 2053 RVMTP Shares) of the date of original issue of the applicable series of RVMTP Shares. The Funds did not declare a Special Terms Period during the period ended December 31, 2025. In addition, with respect to each series of RVMTP Shares, a “Mandatory Tender Event” will occur on each date that is (i) 20 business days before each (A) three-year anniversary in the case of the Series 2053 RVMTP Shares; (B) five-year anniversary in the case of the Series 2054 RVMTP Shares; or anniversary in the case of the Series
(C) forty-two-month
2054-A
RVMTP Shares; since the issuance date of the RVMTP Shares (each an “Early Term Redemption”, and the date on which such occurs, an “Early Term Redemption Date”), (ii) the date a Fund delivers a notice designating a Special Terms Period, and (iii) 20 business days before the end of a Special Terms Period (provided that no subsequent Special Terms Period is designated). Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Tender Event, all RVMTP Shares in the series will be subject to mandatory tender (subject to the holders’ election to retain their RVMTP Shares) and the applicable Fund will issue or cause to be issued a notice of mandatory tender to the holders of the RVMTP Shares for remarketing on the corresponding Mandatory Tender Date. If any RVMTP Shares subject to a Mandatory Tender Event upon an Early Term Redemption Date or upon the end of a Special Terms Period have not been either retained by the holders or remarketed by the Mandatory Tender Date, the Fund will redeem such RVMTP Shares on the Early Term Redemption Date or the end of the Special Terms Period, as applicable. With respect to the Mandatory Tender Events described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the corresponding “Mandatory Tender Date” means, respectively: (i) the date that is (A) 180 calendar days following the Early Term Redemption Date in the case of the Series 2053 RVMTP Shares; or (B) the Early Term Redemption Date in the case of the Series 2054 RVMTP Shares and the Series
2054-A
RVMTP Shares, (ii) the date on which the related Special Terms Period becomes effective, and (iii) the last day of the related Special Terms Period (subject, in each case, to the holders’ election to retain their RVMTP Shares). No Mandatory Tender Event occurred during the period ended December 31, 2025. Each Fund is subject to certain limitations and restrictions while the RVMTP Shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude a Fund from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of the RVMTP Shares at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends and other distributions. Any resulting suspension of payment of common share dividends may result in a tax penalty for the applicable Fund and, in certain circumstances, the loss of treatment as a regulated investment company. Any such mandatory redemption will be conducted on a pro rata basis among each series of the RVMTP Shares and any other preferred shares of the applicable Fund outstanding based upon the proportion that the aggregate liquidation preference of any series bears to the aggregate liquidation preference of all outstanding series of such Fund’s preferred shares. Under the terms of each purchase agreement between each Fund and each investor in the RVMTP Shares, each Fund is subject to various investment requirements while the RVMTP Shares are outstanding. These requirements may be more restrictive than those to which a Fund is otherwise subject in accordance with its investment objective(s) and policies. In addition, each Fund is subject to certain restrictions on its investments imposed by guidelines of the rating agencies that rate the RVMTP Shares, which guidelines may be changed by the applicable rating agency, in its sole discretion, from time to time. These guidelines may impose asset coverage or portfolio composition requirements that are more stringent than those imposed on each Fund by the Act.
Ratings agencies may change their methodologies for evaluating and providing ratings for shares of
closed-end
funds at any time and in their sole discretion, which may affect the rating (if any) of a Fund’s shares. Each Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverage with respect to all outstanding senior securities of the Fund which are stocks for purposes of the Act, including the RVMTP Shares, as set forth in such Fund’s governing documents and the Act. One such requirement under the Act is that a Fund is not permitted to declare or pay common share dividends unless immediately thereafter the Fund has a minimum asset

coverage ratio of 200% with respect to all outstanding senior securities of the Fund which are stocks for purposes of the Act after deducting the amount of such common share dividends. The asset coverage per share for each Fund is reported in the Financial Highlights and is disclosed as the product of the asset coverage ratio as of period end and the current liquidation preference.
With respect to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets of each Fund, the RVMTP Shares are senior in priority to the Funds’ outstanding common shares. Holders of preferred shares of
each Fund, who are entitled to one vote per share, including holders of RVMTP Shares, generally vote together as one class with the common shareholders of each Fund, but preferred shareholders vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees of each Fund, as required by the Act, and on certain matters adversely affecting the rights of preferred shareholders. Under the Act, preferred shareholders, including holders of the RVMTP Shares, are also entitled to elect a majority of the trustees at any time when dividends on the preferred shares are unpaid for two full years.
The RVMTP Shares’ Dividend Rate (as defined below) is determined over the course of a
seven-day
period, which generally commences each Thursday and ends the following Wednesday (the “Rate Period”). The dividends per share for RVMTP Shares for a given Rate Period are dependent on the RVMTP Share dividend rate for that Rate Period (the “RVMTP Share Dividend Rate”). The RVMTP Share Dividend Rate for the Series 2053 RVMTP Shares and the Series 2054 RVMTP Shares is equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Index Rate1
plus the Applicable Spread2
for the Rate Period plus the “Failed Remarketing Spread”3
, if any, and (ii) the sum of (a) the product of the Index Rate multiplied by the Applicable Multiplier4
for such Rate Period plus (b) (1) in the case of the Series 2053 RVMTP Shares, 0.92%, or (2) in the case of the Series 2054 RVMTP Shares, 1.30%, plus (c) the Failed Remarketing Spread, if any.5
The RVMTP Share Dividend Rate for the Series 2054-A
RVMTP Shares is equal to the sum of the Index Rate1
plus the Applicable Spread2
for the Rate Period plus the Failed Remarketing Spread3
, if any. The dividend per RVMTP Share for the Rate Period is then determined as described in the table below: Dividend Rate |

The Index Rate is determined by reference to a weekly, high-grade index comprised of seven-day, tax-exempt variable rate demand notes, generally the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index. |
2 |
The Applicable Spread for a Rate Period is a percentage per year that is based on the long-term rating most recently assigned by the applicable ratings agency to such series of RVMTP Shares. |
3 |
With respect to the Series 2054 RVMTP Shares, the Failed Remarketing Spread means (i) for so long as two or more failed remarketings have not occurred, 0%, and (ii) following the second occurrence of a failed remarketing, 0.15% multiplied by the number of failed remarketings that have occurred after the first failed remarketing. With respect to the Series 2054-A RVMTP Shares, the Failed Remarketing Spread means (i) for so long as two or more failed remarketings have not occurred, 0%, and (ii) following the second occurrence of a failed remarketing, 0.25% multiplied by the number of failed remarketings that have occurred after the first failed remarketing. With respect to the Series 2053 RVMTP Shares (A) in connection with a failed remarketing related to an Early Term Redemption, the Failed Remarketing Spread is (i) 0.75% for the first 59 days following the applicable Early Term Redemption Date, (ii) 1.00% for the 60th to the 89th day following such Early Term Redemption Date, (iii) 1.25% for the 90th to the 119th day following such Early Term Redemption Date, (iv) 1.50% for the 120th to the 149th day following such Early Term Redemption Date, and (v) 1.75% for the 150th day following such Early Term Redemption Date to the date of the associated mandatory redemption of the RVMTP Shares; and (B) in connection with a failed remarketing related to a Special Terms Period (each a “Failed Special Terms Period Remarketing”), the Failed Remarketing Spread means (i) for so long as two or more Failed Special Terms Period Remarketings have not occurred, 0.05%, and (ii) following the second occurrence of a Failed Special Terms Period Remarketing, 0.10% multiplied by the number of Failed Special Terms Period Remarketings that have occurred after the first Failed Special Terms Period Remarketing. |

The Applicable Multiplier for a Rate Period is a percentage that is based on the long-term rating most recently assigned by the applicable ratings agency to the RVMTP Shares. |
5 |
For each series of RVMTP Shares, an increased RVMTP Share Dividend Rate could be triggered by the applicable Fund’s failure to comply with certain requirements relating to such series of RVMTP Shares, certain actions taken by the applicable ratings agency or certain determinations regarding the tax status of such series of RVMTP Shares made by a court or other applicable governmental authority. The Dividend Rate will in no event exceed 15% per year. |
13. BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION
PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II’s, PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund’s, and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II’s subsidiaries were each formed as a wholly owned subsidiary acting as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain investments for the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies in effect from time to time. Each Fund’s investment portfolio has been consolidated and includes the portfolio holdings of the Fund and its respective subsidiary. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of each Fund and its respective subsidiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. This structure was established so that certain

14. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
The Funds are not named as defendants in any material litigation or arbitration proceedings and are not aware of any material litigation or claim pending or threatened against them.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report.
15. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made. Due to the timing of when distributions are made by a Fund, the Fund may be subject to an excise tax of 4% of the amount by which 98% of the Fund’s annual taxable income and 98.2% of net realized gains exceed the distributions from such taxable income and realized gains for the calendar year.
A Fund may be subject to local withholding taxes, including those imposed on realized capital gains. Any applicable foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and may be payable following the sale of any applicable investments.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Manager has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years. As of December 31, 2025, the Funds have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns.
In this reporting period, the Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosure income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect any Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. For the annual period covered by this report, the Funds did not pay any material federal, state or local income taxes or any material income taxes in foreign jurisdictions.
The Funds file U.S. federal, state and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
As of December 31, 2025, the components of distributable taxable earnings are as follows (amounts in thousands):
†
Undistributed Tax Exempt Income |
Undistributed Ordinary Income (1) |
Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains |

16. REORGANIZATION
On August 1, 2025, the Funds conducted the Reorganizations of: (i) PCK and PZC with and into PCQ; (ii) PNF and PYN with and into PNI; and (iii) PMF and PMX with and into PML.
In the Reorganizations, each of the Acquiring Funds acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the applicable Target Funds, and the common shares of each Target Fund were, in effect, exchanged for newly-issued common shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund (the “Common
Merger Shares”) with an equal aggregate NAV. Shareholders of each Target Fund received an amount of Common Merger Shares issued as of the close of business on August 1, 2025 (and cash in lieu of fractional Common Merger Shares, if any). The exchange was based on the NAV per common share of each applicable Target Fund in relation to the corresponding Acquiring Fund’s NAV per share as of the close of business on August 1, 2025. In addition, each Fund had one or more series of RVMTP Shares outstanding. As part of each Reorganization, the outstanding RVMTP Shares of each Target Fund were, in effect,
ANNUAL REPORT |
| | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | 55 |
Notes to Financial Statements |
(Cont.) |
exchanged for RVMTP Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to, and other terms that are substantially identical to, the corresponding series of RVMTP Shares of each such Target Fund.
Following the Reorganizations, each Target Fund’s common shareholders became shareholders of the corresponding Acquiring Fund and such holders of RVMTP Shares of each Target Fund became holders of RVMTP Merger Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund.
Each Reorganization was structured to qualify as a
tax-free
reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. The investment portfolios of the Target Funds were the principal assets acquired by each Acquiring Fund. For financial statement purposes, assets received and shares issued by each Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from each Target Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The following is a summary of Shares Outstanding, Net Assets, Net Asset Value Per Share and Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) immediately before and after each Reorganization (amounts in thousands): Common Shares Outstanding |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund, PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II, and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund, PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II, and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II and their subsidiaries (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 as indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2025, the results of each of their operations and each of their cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025 and each of the financial highlights for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 as indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Federal Income Tax Information |
(Unaudited) |
As required by the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and Treasury Regulations, if applicable, shareholders must be notified within 60 days of the Funds’ fiscal year end regarding the status of qualified dividend income and the dividend received deduction.
Dividend Received Deduction.
Corporate shareholders are generally entitled to take the dividend received deduction on the portion of a fund’s dividend distribution that qualifies under tax law. The percentage of the following Funds’ fiscal 2025 ordinary income dividend that qualifies for the corporate dividend received deduction is set forth below.
Qualified Dividend Income.
Under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, the following percentage of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 was designated as ‘‘qualified dividend income’’ as defined in the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 subject to reduced tax rates in 2025.
Qualified Interest Income and Qualified Short-Term Capital Gain (for
non-U.S.
resident shareholders only). Under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the following amounts of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 are considered to be derived from “qualified interest income,” as defined in Section 871(k)(1)(E) of the Code, and therefore are designated as interest-related dividends, as defined in Section 871(k)(1)(C) of the Code. Further, the following amounts of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 are considered to be derived from “qualified short-term capital gain,” as defined in Section 871(k)(2)(D) of the Code, and therefore are designated as qualified short-term gain dividends, as defined by Section 871(k)(2)(C) of the Code.

ANNUAL REPORT |
| | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | 63 |
Dividend Reinvestment Plan |
Each Fund has adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) which allows common shareholders to reinvest Fund distributions in additional common shares of the Fund. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Plan Agent”) serves as agent for common shareholders in administering the Plan. It is important to note that participation in the Plan and automatic reinvestment of Fund distributions does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect against losses in a declining market.
Automatic enrollment/voluntary participation
Under the Plan, common shareholders whose shares are registered with the Plan Agent (“registered shareholders”) are automatically enrolled as participants in the Plan and will have all Fund distributions of income, capital gains and returns of capital (together, “distributions”) reinvested by the Plan Agent in additional common shares of a Fund, unless the shareholder elects to receive cash. Registered shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholder of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, to the nominee) by the Plan Agent. Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Participants may terminate or resume their enrollment in the Plan at any time without penalty by notifying the Plan Agent online at www.astfinancial.com, by calling (844) 33-PIMCO, by writing to the Plan Agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, at P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560, or, as applicable, by completing and returning the transaction form attached to a Plan statement. A proper notification will be effective immediately and apply to each Fund’s next distribution if received by the Plan Agent at least three (3) days prior to the record date for the distribution; otherwise, a notification will be effective shortly following the Fund’s next distribution and will apply to the Fund’s next succeeding distribution thereafter. If you withdraw from the Plan and so request, the Plan Agent will arrange for the sale of your shares and send you the proceeds, minus a transaction fee and brokerage commissions.
How shares are purchased under the Plan
For each Fund distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire common shares for participants either (i) through receipt of newly issued common shares from each Fund (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchasing common shares of the Fund on the open market (“open market purchases”). If, on a distribution payment date, the net asset value per common share of a Fund (“NAV”) is equal to or less than the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (often referred to as a “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the distribution amount on behalf of participants in newly issued shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) NAV or (ii) 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date. If the NAV is greater than the market price per common shares plus estimated brokerage
commissions (often referred to as a “market discount”) on a distribution payment date, the Plan agent will instead attempt to invest the distribution amount through open market purchases. If the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full distribution amount in open market purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent will invest any un-invested portion of the distribution in newly issued shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) NAV or (ii) 95% of the market price per share as of the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date (which, in either case, may be a price greater or lesser than the NAV per common shares on the distribution payment date). No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Under the Plan, the market price of common shares on a particular date is the last sales price on the exchange where the shares are listed on that date or, if there is no sale on the exchange on that date, the mean between the closing bid and asked quotations for the shares on the exchange on that date.
The NAV per common share on a particular date is the amount calculated on that date (normally at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) in accordance with each Fund’s then current policies.
Fees and expenses
No brokerage charges are imposed on reinvestments in newly issued shares under the Plan. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases. There are currently no direct service charges imposed on participants in the Plan, although each Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include such charges. The Plan Agent imposes a transaction fee (in addition to brokerage commissions that are incurred) if it arranges for the sale of your common shares held under the Plan.
Shares held through nominees
In the case of a registered shareholder such as a broker, bank or other nominee (together, a “nominee”) that holds common shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of common shares certified by the nominee/record shareholder as representing the total amount registered in such shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who are to participate in the Plan. If your common shares are held through a nominee and are not registered with the Plan Agent, neither you nor the nominee will be participants in or have distributions reinvested under the Plan. If you are a beneficial owner of common shares and wish to participate in the Plan, and your nominee is unable or unwilling to become a registered shareholder and a Plan participant on your behalf, you may request that your nominee arrange to have all or a portion of your shares re-registered with the Plan Agent in your
64 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
name so that you may be enrolled as a participant in the Plan. Please contact your nominee for details or for other possible alternatives. Participants whose shares are registered with the Plan Agent in the name of one nominee firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
Tax consequences
Automatically reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions — i.e., automatic reinvestment in additional shares does not relieve shareholders of, or defer the need to pay, any income tax that may be payable (or that is required to be withheld) on Fund dividends and distributions. The Funds and the Plan Agent reserve the right to amend or terminate the Plan. Additional information about the Plan, as well as a copy of the full Plan itself, may be obtained from the Plan Agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, at P.O.

CHANGES OCCURRING SINCE THE PRIOR ANNUAL REPORT
The following information in this annual report is a summary of certain changes during the period since the date of the Funds’ last annual report to shareholders. This information may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you purchased shares of the Fund.
1. |
Each of the below reorganizations (each, a “Merger” and collectively, the “Mergers”) were completed following the close of business on Friday, August 1, 2025: |
∎ |
National Mergers: |
∎ |
New York Mergers: PYN ”) with and into PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II (“PNI”); and |
∎ |
California Mergers: |
In the Mergers, each of PML, PNI and PCQ (each, an “Acquiring Fund”) acquired all the assets and liabilities of, as applicable, PMF, PMX, PNF, PYN, PCK, and PZC (each, an “Acquired Fund” and together with the Acquiring Funds, the “Funds”), and the common shares of each Acquired Fund were, in effect, exchanged for newly-issued common shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund (the “Common Merger Shares”) with an equal aggregate net asset value (“NAV”). Shareholders of each Acquired Fund received an amount of Common Merger Shares issued as of the close of business on August 1, 2025 (and cash in lieu of fractional Common Merger Shares, if any). The exchange was based on the NAV per common share of each applicable Acquired Fund in relation to the corresponding Acquiring Fund’s NAV per share as of the close of business on Friday, August 1, 2025. In addition, each Fund had one or more series of Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (“RVMTP Shares”) outstanding. As part of each Merger, the outstanding RVMTP Shares of each Acquired Fund have been, in effect, exchanged for RVMTP Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to, and other terms that are substantially identical to, the corresponding series of RVMTP Shares of each such Acquired Fund.
Each Acquired Fund is in the process of winding down following the Mergers. Each Acquired Fund filed a Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form
N-2
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 8, 2025. Each Acquired Fund further filed an Application for Deregistration of Certain Registered Investment Companies with the SEC on September 23, 2025. 2. |

Unless otherwise noted, the information in this section is as of December 31, 2025.
The term “invest” includes both direct investing and indirect investing and the term “investments” includes both direct investments and indirect investments. For example, a Fund may invest indirectly by investing in derivatives or through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (each, a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The allocation of the Fund’s assets to a Subsidiary will vary over time and will likely not include all of the different types of investments described herein at any given time.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The investment objective of PCQ is to provide current income exempt from federal and California income tax. The investment objective of PML is to provide current income exempt from federal income tax. The investment objective of PNI is to provide current income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City income tax. In pursuing each Fund’s investment objective, the Fund’s investment manager, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO” or the “Investment Manager”), also seeks to preserve and enhance the value of the Fund’s holdings relative to the municipal bond market generally, and may use proprietary analytical models that test and evaluate the sensitivity of those holdings to changes in interest rates and yield relationships. A Fund cannot assure you that it will achieve its investment objective or that the Fund’s investment program will be successful, and you could lose all of your investment in the Fund.
Portfolio Management Strategies
Under normal circumstances, PCQ invests at least 90% of its net assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of other authority believed by PIMCO to be reliable), is exempt from regular federal income taxes (i.e., excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes but not necessarily exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax) and at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of other authority believed by PIMCO to be reliable) is exempt from California income taxes (i.e., excluded from gross income for California income tax purposes (“California Municipal Bonds”)). These may include, but are not limited to, investments in loans, pools of loans, mortgages, pools of mortgages, and other debt instruments, as to which there is an opinion that income therefrom is exempt from regular federal and California income taxes, such as certain affordable housing loans, etc. Subject to its other investment policies, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in investments the interest from which is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Under normal circumstances, PML invests at least 90% of its net assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of other authority believed by PIMCO to be reliable), is exempt from regular federal income taxes (i.e., excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes but not necessarily exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax). These may include, but are not limited to, investments in loans, pools of loans, mortgages, pools of mortgages, and other debt instruments, as to which there is an opinion that income therefrom is exempt from regular federal income taxes, such as certain affordable housing loans, etc. Subject to its other investment policies, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in investments the interest from which is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Under normal circumstances, PNI invests at least 90% of its net assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of other authority believed by PIMCO to be reliable) is exempt from regular federal income taxes (i.e., excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes but not necessarily exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax) and at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of other authority believed by PIMCO to be reliable) is exempt from New York State and New York City income taxes (i.e., excluded from gross income for New York State and New York City income tax purposes (“New York Municipal Bonds”)). These may include, but are not limited to, investments in loans, pools of loans, mortgages, pools of mortgages, and other debt instruments, as to which there is an opinion that income therefrom is exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City income taxes, etc. Subject to its other investment policies, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in investments the interest from which is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds that are, at the time of purchase, rated “investment grade” by at least one of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”), or unrated but determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality to securities so rated. “Investment grade” means a rating, in the case of Moody’s, of Baa3 or higher, or in the case of S&P and Fitch, of
BBB-
or higher. Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal bonds that are, at the time of investment, rated Ba or B or lower by Moody’s, BB or B or lower by S&P or Fitch or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by PIMCO. These bonds are rated below investment grade and are commonly known as “high yield securities” or “junk bonds.” Bonds of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to ANNUAL REPORT |

Principal Investment Strategies |
(Cont.) |
pay interest and repay principal and are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” Bonds in the lowest investment grade category may also be considered to possess some speculative characteristics. In the event that ratings services assign different ratings to the same security, PIMCO will use the highest rating as the credit rating for that security.
Each Fund’s investment in municipal bonds may be based on PIMCO’s belief that they have attractive yield and/or total return potential. Each Fund attempts to produce returns relative to the municipal bond market generally by prudent selection of municipal bonds. The Funds may invest in bonds associated with a particular municipal market sector (for example, electric utilities), issued by a particular municipal issuer, or having particular structural characteristics, that PIMCO believes may be undervalued. PIMCO may purchase such a bond for a Fund’s portfolio because it represents a market sector or issuer that PIMCO considers undervalued. For example, municipal bonds of particular types (e.g., hospital bonds, industrial revenue bonds or bonds issued by a particular municipal issuer) could be undervalued if there is a temporary excess of supply in that market sector, or because of a general decline in the market price of municipal bonds of the market sector for reasons that do not apply to the particular municipal bonds that are considered undervalued.
Portfolio Contents
For PML, the municipal bonds in which the Fund invests are generally issued by a U.S. state or territory, a city in a U.S. state or territory, or a political subdivision, agency, authority, or instrumentality of such state, territory or city.
For PCQ, the California Municipal Bonds in which the Fund invests are generally issued by the State of California, a city in California, or a political subdivision, agency, authority, or instrumentality of such state or city, but may be issued by other U.S. states and/or U.S. territories, the interest from which is exempt from California and federal income taxes.
For PNI, the New York Municipal Bonds in which the Fund invests are generally issued by the State of New York, a city in New York (including New York City) or a political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such state or city, but may be issued by other U.S. states and/or U.S. territories, the interest from which is exempt from New York, New York City and federal income taxes.
Each of PCQ and PNI may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal bonds issued by a U.S. state or territory, a city in a U.S. state or territory, or a political subdivision, agency, authority, or instrumentality of such state, territory or city, the interest from which is not exempt from California or New York and New York City income taxes, as applicable.
Also included within the general category of municipal bonds in which each Fund may invest are loans (including participations and assignments of loans and loans originated by the Fund) and participations in lease obligations. A lease obligation is an obligation in the form of a lease or installment purchase that is issued by a state or local government to acquire equipment and facilities. Income from such obligations generally is exempt from state and local tax in the state of issuance. Lease obligations may be secured or unsecured. Lease obligations do not constitute general obligations of the municipality for which the municipality’s taxing power is pledged.
Each Fund may invest in “structured” notes, which are privately negotiated debt obligations where the principal and/or interest is determined by reference to the performance of a benchmark asset or market, such as selected securities or an index of securities, or the differential performance of two assets or markets, such as indices reflecting taxable and
tax-exempt
bonds. Each such Fund may do so for the purpose of reducing the interest rate sensitivity of the Fund’s portfolio (and thereby decreasing the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk). The rate of interest on an income-producing security may be fixed, floating or variable. Each Fund may purchase municipal bonds that are additionally secured by insurance, bank credit agreements, or escrow accounts. The credit quality of companies which provide such credit enhancements will affect the value and overall credit risk posed by investments in such securities. Although the insurance feature reduces certain financial risks, the premiums for insurance and the higher market price paid for insured obligations may reduce the Fund’s income.
Each Fund may buy and sell municipal bonds on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis, making payment or taking delivery at a later date. Each Fund may invest in floating rate debt instruments (“floaters”), including inverse floaters, and engage in credit spread trades. A credit spread trade is an investment position relating to a difference in the prices or interest rates of two bonds or other securities, in which the value of the investment position is determined by changes in the difference between the prices or interest rates, as the case may be, of the respective securities.
Each Fund may invest in and/or originate loans, including, without limitation, to, on behalf of, authorized by, sponsored by, and/or in connection with a project for which authority and responsibility lies with one or more U.S. states or territories, cities in a U.S. state or territory, or political subdivisions, agencies, authorities or instrumentalities of such states, territories or cities, which may be in the form of whole loans, assignments, participations, secured and unsecured notes, senior and second lien loans, mezzanine loans, bridge loans or similar investments. Such borrowers may have credit

PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
ratings that are determined by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and/or PIMCO to be below investment grade. This may include loans to public or private firms or individuals, such as in connection with housing development projects. Each Fund also is not limited in the amount, size or type of loans it may invest in and/or originate, including with respect to a single borrower, other than pursuant to any applicable law. The loans a Fund invests in or originates may vary in maturity and/or duration. A Fund’s investment in or origination of loans may also be limited by the requirements the Fund intends to observe under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) in order to qualify as a “regulated investment company” (“RIC”). The loans acquired by a Fund may be “municipal bonds” (including of a particular state) for purposes of the Fund’s investment policies to invest a certain minimum of their assets in securities that produce income that is exempt from federal income tax and, as applicable, the income taxes of a particular state, or may be loans that produce income that is subject to applicable regular income tax, subject to the Fund’s investment limits. A Fund may seek to originate loans through its Subsidiaries (as defined herein, and for purposes of this disclosure, references to the Fund originating loans also shall refer to a loan originated by any applicable Subsidiary — accordingly, the Fund intends to “look through” any Subsidiary for purposes of determining compliance of loan-related investments with any applicable investment guidelines or covenants of any borrowings or preferred shares of the Fund, if any).
For tax or other structuring reasons, each Fund may purchase a loan or debt investment structured as an equity interest (e.g., a joint venture interest). Each Fund may invest in trust certificates issued in tender option bond (“TOB”) programs. In these programs, a trust typically issues two classes of certificates, floating rate certificates (“TOB Floaters”) and residual interest certificates (“TOB Residuals”), and seeks to use the proceeds to purchase municipal securities having longer maturities and that may bear interest at a higher fixed interest rate than prevailing short-term
tax-exempt
rates. Service providers of such trusts may have recourse against a Fund in certain cases, such as if the Fund holds recourse TOB Residuals. Each Fund may invest in both non-recourse
and recourse TOB Residuals to leverage its portfolio. Each Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities of other open- or
closed-end
investment companies that invest primarily in municipal bonds of the types in which the Fund may invest directly. Each Fund may invest in other investment companies either during periods when it has large amounts of uninvested cash, during periods when there is a shortage of attractive, high-yielding municipal bonds available in the market, or when PIMCO believes share prices of other investment companies offer attractive values. Each Fund may invest in investment companies that are advised by PIMCO or its affiliates to the extent permitted by applicable law and/or pursuant to exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As a shareholder of an investment company, the Fund will bear its ratable share of that investment company’s expenses and would remain subject to payment of the Fund’s management fees and other expenses with respect to assets so invested.
Each Fund may invest in securities of other
open-or
closed-end
investment companies (including those advised by PIMCO), including, without limitation, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, strategies and policies and permissible under the 1940 Act. Each Fund may invest in other investment companies to gain broad market or sector exposure or for cash management purposes, including during periods when it has large amounts of uninvested cash or when PIMCO believes share prices of other investment companies offer attractive values. Each Fund may invest in certain money market funds and/or short-term bond funds (“Central Funds”), to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder or exemptive relief therefrom. The Central Funds are registered investment companies created for use by certain registered investment companies advised by PIMCO in connection with their cash management activities. Each Fund treats its investments in other investment companies that invest primarily in types of securities in which the Fund may invest directly as investments in such types of securities for purposes of the Fund’s investment policies (e.g., the Fund’s investment in an investment company that invests primarily in debt securities will be treated by the Fund as an investment in a debt security). As a shareholder in an investment company, each Fund would bear its ratable share of that investment company’s expenses and would remain subject to payment of each Fund’s management fees and other expenses with respect to assets so invested. Common Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent each Fund invests in other investment companies. The securities of other investment companies may be leveraged, in which case the net asset value (“NAV”) and/or market value of the investment company’s shares will be more volatile than unleveraged investments. Each Fund generally intends to invest primarily in municipal bonds with longer-term maturities (for example,
15-30
years), but may invest in bonds of any maturity and otherwise seek a shorter average weighted maturity of its portfolio. Each Fund may purchase and sell (write) a variety of derivatives, such as put options and call options on securities, short sales, credit default swaps, swap agreements, and securities indexes, and enter into interest rate and index futures contracts and purchase and sell options on such futures contracts for hedging purposes or as part of its overall

investment strategy. Each Fund also may enter into swap agreements with respect to interest rates and indexes of securities. If other types of financial instruments, including other types of options, futures contracts, or futures options are traded in the future, the Fund may also use those instruments.
Each Fund may invest without limit in illiquid investments (i.e., investments that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment).
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, in which the Fund purchases a security from a bank or broker-dealer, which agrees to repurchase the security at the Fund’s cost plus interest within a specified time.
Each Fund has one or more series of outstanding Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of beneficial interest (“RVMTP Shares” or “Preferred Shares”). In connection with rating each Fund’s Preferred Shares, Fitch imposes specific asset coverage tests and other limitations and restrictions that may limit a Fund’s ability to engage in certain of the transactions described above. In addition, failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could, among other things, preclude a Fund from declaring or paying dividend or distributions or require them to sell assets at inopportune times.
Each Fund may make investments in debt instruments and other securities or instruments directly or through one or more Subsidiaries. Each Subsidiary may invest, for example, in whole loans or in shares, certificates, notes or other securities representing the right to receive principal and interest payments due on fractions of whole loans or pools of whole loans, risk retention investments or any other security or other instrument that a Fund may hold directly. Each Fund reserves the right to establish additional Subsidiaries through which a Fund may execute its strategy.
Short-Term Investments / Temporary Defensive Investments.
Use of Leverage
Each Fund currently utilizes leverage principally through its outstanding Preferred Shares and TOB programs. Each Fund may also enter into transactions other than those noted above that may give rise to a form of leverage including, among others, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward contracts, or any interest rate, securities-related or other hedging instrument, including swap agreements and other derivative instruments. Each Fund may increase leverage, such as by determining to issue other types of Preferred Shares, or determine to decrease the leverage it currently maintains, such as by redeeming its outstanding Preferred Shares or unwinding TOBs and may or may not determine to replace such leverage through other sources.
Depending upon market conditions and other factors, a Fund may or may not determine to add leverage following a Common Share offering to maintain or increase the total amount of leverage (as a percentage of the Fund’s total assets) that the Fund currently maintains, taking into account the additional assets raised through the issuance of common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) in such offering. Each Fund utilizes certain kinds of leverage, including, without limitation, Preferred Shares and TOBs, opportunistically and may choose to increase or decrease, or eliminate entirely, its use of such leverage over time and from time to time based on PIMCO’s assessment of the yield curve environment, interest rate trends, market conditions and other factors. By using leverage, each Fund will seek to obtain a higher yield for holders of Common Shares than if the Fund did not use leverage. If a Fund determines to add leverage following an offering, it is not possible to predict with accuracy the precise amount of leverage that would be added, in part because it is not possible to predict the number of Common Shares that ultimately will be sold in an offering or series of offerings. To the extent that a Fund does not add additional leverage following an offering, the Fund’s total amount of leverage as a percentage of its total assets will decrease, which could result in a reduction of investment income available for distribution to holders of Common Shares (the “Common Shareholders”).

Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Unaudited) |
The information in this section is as of December 31, 2025.
The factors that are most likely to have a material effect on a particular Fund’s portfolio as
a w
hole are calle
d “principal risks.” Each Fund is subject to the principal risks indicated below, as applicable, whether through direct investments, investments by a subsidiary (if applicable) or derivative positions. Each Fund may be subject to additional risks other than those described below because the types of investments made by a Fund can change over time. Each reference to “a Fund” or “the Fund” below applies to each Fund unless otherwise noted.
AMT Bonds Risk
If a Fund invests in “AMT Bonds,” which are municipal securities that pay interest that is taxable under the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to noncorporate taxpayers, such investments may expose the Fund to certain risks in addition to those typically associated with municipal bonds. Interest or principal on AMT Bonds paid out of current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific asset may be adversely impacted by declines in revenue from the project or asset. Declines in general business activity could also affect the economic viability of facilities that are the sole source of revenue to support AMT Bonds. In this regard, AMT Bonds may entail greater risks than general obligation municipal bonds. AMT Bonds may also be less liquid than other municipal securities, which could make them more difficult to sell in stressed market conditions. In addition, changes in federal tax law could alter the treatment of AMT Bonds. For shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, a portion of a Fund’s distributions may not be exempt from gross federal income, which may give rise to alternative minimum tax liability.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
The Fund’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”) and Bylaws (collectively, the “Organizational Documents”), as applicable, include provisions that could limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund or to convert the Fund to
open-end
status. These provisions in the Organizational Documents could have the effect of depriving the Common Shareholders of opportunities to sell their Common Shares at a premium over the then-current market price of the Common Shares or at NAV. Asset Allocation Risk
The Fund’s investment performance depends upon how its assets are allocated and reallocated. A principal risk of investing in the Fund is that PIMCO may make less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions. PIMCO employs an active approach to allocation among multiple fixed-income sectors within the Fund’s investment objectives and strategies, but there is no guarantee that such allocation
techniques will produce the desired results. It is possible that PIMCO will focus on an investment that performs poorly, underperforms other investments under various market conditions, or underperforms as compared to funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. A Fund could experience losses as a result of these allocation decisions.
California State-Specific Risk
A Fund that concentrates its investments in California municipal bonds may be affected significantly by political, economic, regulatory, social, environmental or public health developments affecting the ability of California
tax-exempt
issuers to pay interest or repay principal. Certain issuers of California municipal bonds have experienced serious financial difficulties in the past and reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair the ability of certain California issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations. Provisions of the California Constitution and State statutes that limit the taxing and spending authority of California governmental entities may impair the ability of California issuers to pay principal and/or interest on their obligations. While California’s economy is broad, it does have major concentrations in advanced technology, aerospace and defense-related manufacturing, trade, entertainment, real estate and financial services, and may be sensitive to economic problems affecting those industries, and its government revenues tend to rely heavily on certain earners (revenues therefore are likely to be more volatile and to be adversely affected if the number of such earners (or their recognized income within a particular period of time) decreases) particularly given large budget deficits that have been identified and may continue. Future California political and economic developments, constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive orders, administrative regulations, litigation and voter initiatives as well as environmental events or natural disasters, including but not limited to an earthquake or a wildfire, pandemics, epidemics or social unrest could create a major dislocation of the California economy and significantly affect the ability of state and local governments to raise money to pay principal and interest on their municipal securities and have an adverse effect on the debt obligations of California issuers.
Call Risk
Call risk refers to the possibility that an issuer may exercise its right to redeem a fixed income security earlier than expected (a call). Issuers may call outstanding securities prior to their maturity for a number of reasons (e.g., declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the issuer’s credit quality). If an issuer calls a security in which the Fund has invested, the Fund may not recoup the full amount of its initial investment or may not realize the full anticipated earnings from the investment and may be forced to reinvest in
lower-yielding
securities, securities with greater credit risks or securities with other, less favorable features. ANNUAL REPORT |

Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
Certain Affiliations
Certain broker-dealers may be considered to be affiliated persons of the Fund and/or the Investment Manager due to their possible affiliations with Allianz SE, the ultimate parent of the Investment Manager, or another Allianz entity. Allianz Asset Management of America LP merged with Allianz Asset Management of America LLC (“Allianz Asset Management”), with the latter being the surviving entity, effective January 1, 2023. Following the merger, Allianz Asset Management is PIMCO LLC’s managing member and direct parent entity. Absent an exemption from the SEC or other regulatory relief, the Fund is generally precluded from effecting certain principal transactions with affiliated brokers, and its ability to purchase securities being underwritten by an affiliated broker or a syndicate including an affiliated broker, or to utilize affiliated brokers for agency transactions, is subject to restrictions. This could limit the Fund’s ability to engage in securities transactions and take advantage of market opportunities.
The 1940 Act imposes significant limits on
co-investments
with affiliates of each Fund. Each Fund has received exemptive relief from the SEC that, to the extent the Fund relies on such relief, permits it to (among other things) co-invest alongside
certain other persons in privately negotiated investments, including certain affiliates of the Investment Manager and certain public or private funds managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, subject to certain terms and conditions. The exemptive relief from the SEC with respect to co-investments imposes
a number of conditions on any co-investments
made in reliance on such relief that may limit or restrict the Fund’s ability to participate in an investment or require it to participate in an investment to a lesser extent, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to execute its desired investment strategy and its returns. Subject to applicable law, the Fund may also invest alongside other PIMCO managed funds and accounts, including private funds and affiliates of the Investment Manager, without relying on the exemptive relief. Pursuant to co-investment
exemptive relief, to the extent the Fund relies on such relief, the Fund will be able to invest in opportunities in which PIMCO and/or its affiliates has an investment, and PIMCO and/or its affiliates will be able to invest in opportunities in which a fund has made an investment. Confidential Information Access Risk
In managing the Fund (and other PIMCO clients), PIMCO may from time to time have the opportunity to receive material,
non-public
information (“Confidential Information”) about the issuers of certain investments, including, without limitation, senior floating rate loans, other loans and related investments being considered for acquisition by the Fund or held in the Fund’s portfolio. For example, an issuer of privately placed loans considered by the Fund may offer to provide PIMCO with financial information and related documentation regarding the issuer that is not publicly available. Pursuant to applicable policies and procedures, PIMCO may (but is not required to) seek to avoid receipt of Confidential Information from the issuer so as to avoid possible restrictions on its ability to purchase and sell investments on behalf of the Fund and other clients to which such Confidential Information relates. In such circumstances, the Fund (and other PIMCO clients) may be disadvantaged in comparison to other investors, including with respect to the price the Fund pays or receives when it buys or sells an investment. Further, PIMCO’s and the Fund’s abilities to assess the desirability of proposed consents, waivers or amendments with respect to certain investments may be compromised if they are not privy to available Confidential Information. PIMCO may also determine to receive such Confidential Information in certain circumstances under its applicable policies and procedures. If PIMCO intentionally or unintentionally comes into possession of Confidential Information, it may be unable, potentially for a substantial period of time, to purchase or sell investments to which such Confidential Information relates.
Counterparty Risk
The Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative contracts and other instruments entered into by the Fund or held by special purpose or structured vehicles in which the Fund invests. For example, if a bank at which the Fund or issuer has an account fails, any cash or other assets in bank or custody accounts, which may be substantial in size, could be temporarily inaccessible or permanently lost by the Fund or issuer. In the event that the Fund enters into a derivative transaction with a counterparty that subsequently becomes insolvent or becomes the subject of a bankruptcy case, the derivative transaction may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Fund’s ability to realize its rights under the derivative instrument and its ability to distribute the proceeds could be adversely affected. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery (including recovery of any collateral it has provided to the counterparty) in a dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation,
winding-up,
bankruptcy or other analogous proceeding. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of a counterparty to a derivative transaction, the derivative transaction would typically be terminated at its fair market value. If the Fund is owed this fair market value in the termination of the derivative transaction and its claim is unsecured, the Fund will be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty and will not have any claim with respect to any underlying security or asset. The Fund may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having concentrated exposure to a single 72 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
counterparty, which may increase potential losses if the counterparty were to become insolvent. While the Fund may seek to manage its counterparty risk by transacting with a number of counterparties, concerns about the solvency of, or a default by, one large market participant could lead to significant impairment of liquidity and other adverse consequences for other counterparties.
Credit Default Swaps Risk
Credit default swap agreements may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to leverage risk, illiquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. A buyer generally also will lose its investment and recover nothing should no credit event occur and the swap is held to its termination date. If a credit event were to occur, the value of any deliverable obligation received by the seller (if any), coupled with the upfront or periodic payments previously received, may be less than the full notional value it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to the seller. When the Fund acts as a seller of a credit default swap, it is exposed to many of the same risks of leverage described herein. As the seller, the Fund would receive a stream of payments over the term of the swap agreement provided that no event of default has occurred with respect to the referenced debt obligation upon which the swap is based. The Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, if a default occurs, the stream of payments may stop and, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
Although the Fund may seek to realize gains by selling credit default swaps that increase in value, to realize gains on selling credit default swaps, an active secondary market for such instruments must exist or the Fund must otherwise be able to close out these transactions at advantageous times. In addition to the risk of losses described above, if no such secondary market exists or the Fund is otherwise unable to close out these transactions at advantageous times, selling credit default swaps may not be profitable for the Fund.
The market for credit default swaps has become more volatile as the creditworthiness of certain counterparties has been questioned and/or downgraded. The Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the credit default swap contract (whether a clearing corporation or another third party). If a counterparty’s credit becomes significantly impaired, multiple requests for collateral posting in a short period of time could increase the risk that the Fund may not receive adequate collateral. The Fund may exit its obligations under a credit default swap only by terminating the contract and paying applicable breakage fees, or by entering into an offsetting credit default swap position, which may cause the Fund to incur more losses.
Credit Risk
The Fund could experience losses if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security (including a security purchased with securities lending collateral), the counterparty to a derivatives contract, or the issuer or guarantor of collateral, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. The risk that such issuer, guarantor or counterparty is less willing or able to do so is heightened in market environments where interest rates are changing, notably when rates are rising. The downgrade of the credit rating of a security or of the issuer of a security held by the Fund may decrease its value. Measures such as average credit quality may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of the Fund. This is especially the case if the Fund consists of securities with widely varying credit ratings. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings. Credit risk is greater to the extent the Fund uses leverage or derivatives in connection with the management of the Fund, which would be magnified in the event that initial variation margin is not provided by the counterparty to such transaction (or not provided below a certain threshold amount). Rising or high interest rates may deteriorate the credit quality of an issuer or counterparty, particularly if an issuer or counterparty faces challenges rolling or refinancing its obligations. The Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) deterioration to their credit quality.
Credit risk includes credit spread risk, which is the risk that credit spreads (, the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their actual or perceived credit quality) may increase when the market believes that investments generally have a greater risk of default. Increasing credit spreads may reduce the market values of the Fund’s investments. Credit spreads often increase more for lower rated and unrated securities than for investment grade securities. In addition, when credit spreads increase, reductions in market value will generally be greater for longer-maturity securities. Further, credit spread duration (a measure of credit spread risk) can vary significantly from interest rate duration (, for floating rate debt securities, credit spread duration typically will be higher than interest rate duration). The Fund may add credit spread duration to its portfolio, for example through the use of derivatives (e.g., credit default swaps), even while it has lower interest rate duration. The credit spread duration of the Fund’s portfolio may vary, in some cases significantly, from its interest rate duration.

Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
Cyber Security Risk
As the use of technology, including cloud-based technology, has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Fund is potentially more susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional cyber events from outside threat actors or internal resources that may, among other things, cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption and/or destruction, lose operational capacity, result in the unauthorized release or other misuse of confidential information, or otherwise disrupt normal business operations. Geopolitical tensions can increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate cybersecurity attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing, who may desire to use cybersecurity attacks to cause damage or create leverage against geopolitical rivals. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding), and may come from multiple sources, including outside attacks such as attacks (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users) or cyber extortion, including exfiltration of data held for ransom and/or “ransomware” attacks that renders systems inoperable until ransom is paid, or insider actions (e.g., intentionally or unintentionally harmful acts of PIMCO personnel). In addition, cyber security breaches involving the Fund’s third party service providers (including but not limited to advisers,
denial-of-service
sub-advisers,
administrators, transfer agents, custodians, vendors, suppliers, distributors and other third parties), trading counterparties or issuers in which the Fund invests can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches or extortion of company data. PIMCO’s use of cloud-based service providers could heighten or change these risks. In addition, work-from-home arrangements by the Fund, the Investment Manager or their service providers could increase all of the above risks, create additional data and information accessibility concerns, and make the Fund, the Investment Manager or their service providers susceptible to operational disruptions, any of which could adversely impact their operations. Cyber security failures or breaches may result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. For example, cyber security failures or breaches involving trading counterparties or issuers in which the Fund invests could adversely impact such counterparties or issuers and cause the Fund’s investment to lose value. These failures or breaches may also result in disruptions to business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses; interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, process shareholder transactions or otherwise transact business with shareholders; impediments to trading; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines;
penalties; third-party claims in litigation; reputational damage; reimbursement or other compensation costs; additional compliance and cyber security risk management costs and other adverse consequences. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future.
Like with operational risk in general, the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there are inherent limitations in these plans and systems, including that certain risks may not have been identified, in large part because different or unknown threats may emerge in the future. As such, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers in which the Fund may invest, trading counterparties or third-party service providers to the Fund. Such entities have experienced cyber attacks and other attempts to gain unauthorized access to systems from time to time, and there is no guarantee that efforts to prevent or mitigate the effects of such attacks or other attempts to gain unauthorized access will be successful. There is also a risk that cyber security breaches may not be detected. The Fund and its shareholders may suffer losses as a result of a cyber security breach related to the Fund, its service providers, trading counterparties or the issuers in which the Fund invests.
Derivatives Risk
The Fund may, but is not required to, utilize a variety of derivative instruments (both long and short positions) for investment or risk management purposes. Derivatives or other similar instruments (referred to collectively as “derivatives”) are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. For example, the Fund may use derivative instruments for purposes of increasing liquidity, providing efficient portfolio management, broadening investment opportunities (including taking short or negative positions), implementing a tax or cash management strategy, gaining exposure to a particular security or segment of the market, modifying the effective duration of the Fund’s portfolio investments and/or enhancing total return. Investments in derivatives may take the form of buying and/or writing (selling) derivatives, and/or the Fund may otherwise become an obligor under a derivatives transaction. These transactions may produce current income or short-term capital gains in the form of premiums or other returns for the Fund (which may support, constitute and/or increase the distributions paid by, or the yield of, the Fund) but create the risk of losses that can significantly exceed such current income or other returns. For example, the premium received for writing a put option may be dwarfed by the losses the Fund may incur if the put option is exercised, and derivative transactions where the Fund is an
74 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
obligor can produce an
up-front
benefit, but the potential for leveraged losses. The distributions, or distribution rate, paid by the Fund should not be viewed as the total returns or overall performance of the Fund. These strategies may also produce adverse tax consequences (for example, the Fund’s income and gain-generating strategies may generate current income and gains, including short-term capital gains taxable as ordinary income) and limit the Fund’s opportunity to profit or otherwise benefit from certain gains. The Fund may enter into opposing derivative transactions, or otherwise take opposing positions. Such transactions can generate distributable gains (which, as noted elsewhere, may be taxed as ordinary income) and create the risk of losses and NAV declines. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives may increase market exposure and are subject to a number of risks including leverage risk, liquidity risk (which may be heightened for highly-customized derivatives), interest rate risk, market risk, counterparty (including credit) risk, operational risk (such as documentation issues, settlement issues and systems failures), legal risk (such as insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a counterparty, and issues with the legality or enforceability of a contract), counterparty risk, tax risk and management risk as well as risks arising from changes in applicable requirements, risks arising from margin requirements and risks arising from mispricing or valuation complexity. They also involve the risk that changes in the value of a derivative instrument may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. By investing in a derivative instrument, the Fund could lose more than the initial amount invested, and derivatives may increase the volatility of the Fund, especially in unusual or extreme market conditions. In addition, the use of derivatives may cause the Fund’s investment returns to be impacted by the performance of assets the Fund does not own, potentially resulting in the Fund’s total investment exposure exceeding the value of its portfolio. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. The 1940 Act and related rules no longer require asset segregation for derivatives transactions, however asset segregation and posting of collateral may still be utilized for risk management or other purposes. The Fund may be required to hold additional cash or sell other investments in order to obtain cash to close out a position and changes in the value of a derivative may also create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Fund will engage in these transactions to reduce exposure to other risks when that would be beneficial or that, if used, such strategies will be successful. The Fund’s use of derivatives may increase or accelerate the amount of taxes payable by Common Shareholders.
Non-centrally-cleared
Over-the-counter (“OTC”)
non-centrally-cleared
OTC derivatives. The primary credit risk on derivatives that are exchange-traded or traded through a central clearing counterparty resides with the Fund’s clearing broker, or the clearinghouse. Derivatives that are cleared by a central clearing organization can still be subject to different risks, including the creditworthiness of the central clearing organization and its members.
In addition, derivatives that are traded on an exchange are subject to the risk that an exchange may limit the maximum daily price fluctuation of a derivative contract and restrict or suspend trading of a contract that has reached a limit. Such limit governs only price movements of a contract during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses because the limit may work to prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. A daily limit may be reached for several consecutive days with little or no trading.
Participation in the markets for derivative instruments involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Fund may not be subject absent the use of these strategies. The skills needed to successfully execute derivative strategies may be different from those needed for other types of transactions. If the Fund incorrectly forecasts the value and/or creditworthiness of securities, currencies, interest rates, counterparties or other economic factors involved in a derivative transaction, the Fund might have been in a better position if the Fund had not entered into such derivative transaction. In evaluating the risks and contractual obligations associated with particular derivative instruments or other similar instruments, it is important to consider that certain derivative transactions, absent a default or termination event, may only be modified or terminated by mutual consent of the Fund and its counterparty.
Therefore, it may not be possible for the Fund to modify, terminate, or offset the Fund’s obligations or the Fund’s exposure to the risks associated with a derivative transaction prior to its scheduled termination or maturity date, which may create a possibility of increased volatility and/or decreased liquidity to the Fund. Hedges are sometimes subject to imperfect matching between the derivative and the underlying instrument, and there can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging transactions will be effective. Derivatives used for hedging or risk management may not operate as intended and may expose the Fund to additional risks. In such cases, the Fund may experience losses.

Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
Because the markets for certain derivative instruments (including markets located in foreign countries) are relatively new and still developing, appropriate derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Upon the expiration of a particular contract, the Fund may wish to retain the Fund’s position in the derivative instrument by entering into a similar contract but may be unable to do so if the counterparty to the original contract is unwilling to enter into the new contract and no other appropriate counterparty can be found. When such markets are unavailable, the Fund will be subject to increased liquidity and investment risk.
The Fund may enter into opposite sides of interest rate swap and other derivatives for the principal purpose of generating distributable gains on the one side (characterized as ordinary income for tax purposes) that are not part of the Fund’s duration or yield curve management strategies (“paired swap transactions”), and with a substantial possibility that the Fund will experience a corresponding capital loss and decline in NAV with respect to the opposite side transaction (to the extent it does not have corresponding offsetting capital gains). Consequently, Common Shareholders may receive distributions and owe tax on amounts that are effectively a taxable return of the shareholder’s investment in the Fund, at a time when their investment in the Fund has declined in value, which tax may be at ordinary income rates. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates), potentially subjecting shareholders of the Fund to adverse tax consequences. The tax treatment of certain derivatives in which the Fund invests may be unclear and thus subject to recharacterization. Any recharacterization of payments made or received by the Fund pursuant to derivatives potentially could affect the amount, timing or character of Fund distributions. In addition, the tax treatment of such investment strategies may be changed by regulation or otherwise.
More generally, sales of the Fund’s portfolio holdings may result in short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed to shareholders at ordinary income tax rates when distributed net of short-term capital losses and net of long-term capital losses), potentially subjecting shareholders of the Fund to adverse tax consequences.
When a derivative is used as a hedge against a position that the Fund holds, any loss generated by the derivative generally should be substantially offset by gains on the hedged investment, and vice versa. Although hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains. Hedges are sometimes subject to imperfect matching between the derivative and the underlying instrument, and there can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging transactions will be effective. Derivatives used for hedging or risk management may not operate as
intended or may expose the Fund to additional risks. In addition, derivatives used for hedging may partially protect the Fund from the risks they were intended to hedge yet not fully mitigate the impact of such risks. The regulation of the derivatives markets has increased over the past several years, and additional future regulation of the derivatives markets may make derivatives more costly, may limit the availability or reduce the liquidity of derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives. Any such adverse future developments could impair the effectiveness or raise the costs of the Fund’s derivative transactions, impede the employment of the Fund’s derivatives strategies, or adversely affect the Fund’s performance and cause the Fund to lose value.
Distribution Rate Risk
Although the Fund may seek to maintain level distributions, the Fund’s distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, Fund performance, and other factors. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of a return of capital. In general terms, a return of capital would occur where a Fund distribution (or portion thereof) represents a return of a portion of your investment, rather than net income or capital gains generated from your investment during a particular period. There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in the Fund’s distribution rate or that the rate will be sustainable in the future. Additionally, the distribution rate is not indicative of the Fund’s performance and may not correlate with the actual returns generated by the Fund’s investments.
For instance, during periods of low or declining interest rates, the Fund’s distributable income and dividend levels may decline for many reasons. For example, the Fund may have to deploy uninvested assets (whether from proceeds from matured, traded or called debt obligations or other sources) in new, lower yielding instruments. Additionally, payments from certain instruments that may be held by the Fund (such as variable and floating rate securities) may be negatively impacted by declining interest rates, which may also lead to a decline in the Fund’s distributable income and dividend levels.
Focused Investment Risk
Substantial exposure to municipal bonds of particular issuers, geographies and/or jurisdictions will result in susceptibility to political, economic, regulatory and other factors affecting issuers of such bonds, their ability to meet their obligations and the economic condition of the facility or specific revenue source from whose revenues payments of obligations may be made. The ability of state, county, or local governments or other issuers to meet their obligations will depend primarily on the availability of tax and other revenues to those entities. The amounts of tax and other revenues available to issuers may be
76 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
affected from time to time by economic, political and demographic conditions that specifically impact such issuers. In addition, there are constitutional and statutory restrictions that limit the power of certain issuers to raise revenues or increase taxes. The availability of federal, state and local aid to issuers may also affect their ability to meet their obligations. The creditworthiness of obligations issued by local issuers within a given state may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations issued by the state and there is no obligation on the part of the state to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default. Any reduction in the actual or perceived ability of an issuer to meet its obligations (including a reduction in the rating of its outstanding securities) would likely affect adversely the market value and marketability of its obligations and could adversely affect the values of other bonds as well. Moreover, in such circumstances, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a more diversified fund.
Many factors, including national economic, social and environmental policies and conditions, which are not within the control of issuers, could affect or could have an adverse impact on the financial condition of the issuers. A Fund is unable to predict whether or to what extent such factors or other factors may affect issuers, the market value or marketability of such bonds or the ability of the respective issuers of the bonds acquired by the Fund to pay interest on or principal of such bonds.
High Yield Securities Risk
To the extent that the Fund invests in high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as “high yield securities” or “junk bonds”), the Fund may be subject to greater levels of market risk, credit risk, call risk and liquidity risk than funds that do not invest in such securities, which could have a negative effect on the NAV and market price of the Fund’s Common Shares or Common Share dividends. These securities are considered predominantly speculative by rating agencies with respect to an issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments, and their value may be more volatile than other types of securities. An economic downturn or individual issuer developments could adversely affect the market for these securities and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell these securities at an advantageous time or price. An economic downturn could also lead to a higher
non-payment
rate and, a high yield security may lose significant market value before a default occurs. The Fund may purchase distressed securities that are in default or the issuers of which are in bankruptcy, which involve heightened risks. High yield securities structured as securities tend to be especially volatile as they are particularly sensitive to downward pricing pressures from rising interest rates or widening spreads and may require the Fund to make taxable distributions of
zero-coupon
bonds or pay-in-kind
imputed income without receiving the actual cash currency. Issuers of high yield securities may have the right to “call” or redeem the issue prior to maturity, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest the proceeds in other high yield securities or similar instruments that may pay lower interest rates. The Fund may also be subject to greater levels of liquidity risk than funds that do not invest in high yield securities. Consequently, transactions in high yield securities may involve greater costs than transactions in more actively traded securities. A lack of publicly-available information, irregular trading activity and wide bid/ask spreads among other factors, may, in certain circumstances, make high yield debt more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price than other types of securities or instruments. These factors may result in the Fund being unable to realize full value for these securities and/or may result in the Fund not receiving the proceeds from a sale of a high yield security for an extended period after such sale, each of which could result in losses to the Fund. Because of the risks involved in investing in high yield securities, an investment in the Fund should be considered speculative.
In general, lower rated debt securities carry a greater degree of risk that the issuer will lose its ability to make interest and principal payments, which could have a negative effect on the Fund. Securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal and are commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds.” High yield securities involve a greater risk of default and their prices are generally more volatile and sensitive to actual or perceived negative developments. Debt securities in the lowest investment grade category also may be considered to possess some speculative characteristics by certain rating agencies. The Fund may purchase stressed or distressed securities that are in default or the issuers of which are in bankruptcy, which involve heightened risks.
An economic downturn could severely affect the ability of issuers (particularly those that are highly leveraged) to service or repay their debt obligations. Lower-rated securities are generally less liquid than higher-rated securities, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to dispose of them. For example, under adverse market or economic conditions, the secondary market for below investment grade securities could contract further, independent of any specific adverse changes in the condition of a particular issuer, and certain securities in the Fund’s portfolio may become illiquid or less liquid. As a result, the Fund could find it more difficult to sell these securities or may be able to sell these securities only at prices lower than if such securities were widely traded. To the extent the Fund focuses on below investment grade debt obligations, PIMCO’s capabilities in analyzing credit quality and associated risks will be particularly important, and there can be no assurance that PIMCO will be successful in this regard.
ANNUAL REPORT |
| | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | 77 |
Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
The Fund’s credit quality policies apply only at the time a security is purchased, and the Fund is not required to dispose of a security in the event that a rating agency or PIMCO downgrades its assessment of the credit characteristics of a particular issue. In determining whether to retain or sell such a security, PIMCO may consider factors including, but not limited to, PIMCO’s assessment of the credit quality of the issuer of such security, the price at which such security could be sold and the rating, if any, assigned to such security by other rating agencies. Analysis of creditworthiness may be more complex for issuers of high yield securities than for issuers of higher quality debt securities.
Illinois State-Specific Risk
The Fund may invest in municipal bonds issued by or on behalf of the State of Illinois and its political subdivisions, financing authorities and their agencies, and therefore may be affected significantly by political, economic, regulatory, social, environmental, or public health developments affecting the ability of Illinois issuers to pay interest or repay principal. Certain issuers of Illinois municipal bonds have experienced serious financial difficulties in the past and reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair the ability of certain Illinois issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations. Provisions of the Illinois Constitution and State statutes which limit the taxing and spending authority of Illinois governmental entities may impair the ability of Illinois issuers to pay principal and/or interest on their obligations, particularly given large budget deficits that have been identified and may continue. A high amount of unfunded pension liabilities may cause financial strain on the state of Illinois financial obligations, which may in turn affect the credit quality of Illinois municipal bonds. While Illinois’ economy is broad, it does have major concentrations in certain industries and may be sensitive to economic problems affecting those industries, and its government revenues tend to rely heavily on certain earners (revenues therefore are likely to be more volatile and to be adversely affected if the number of such earners (or their recognized income within a particular period of time) decreases). Future Illinois political and economic developments, constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive orders, administrative regulations, litigation and voter initiatives as well as environmental events, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics or social unrest could have an adverse effect on the debt obligations of Illinois issuers.
Inflation/Deflation Risk
Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from the Fund’s investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of payments at future dates. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s portfolio could decline. Inflation rates may change frequently and significantly as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy or changes in fiscal or monetary policies. Deflation risk is the risk that
prices throughout the economy decline over time. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio and Common Shares.
Insurance Risk
The Fund may purchase municipal securities that are secured by insurance, bank credit agreements or escrow accounts. The credit quality of the companies that provide such credit enhancements will affect the value of those securities. If the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security may be more relevant and the value of the municipal security may more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. In such a case, the value of insurance associated with a municipal security may decline and may not add any value. The insurance feature of a municipal security does not guarantee the full payment of principal and interest through the life of an insured obligation, the market value of the insured obligation or the NAV of the common shares represented by such insured obligation.
Insurance-Linked and Other Instruments Risk
The Fund may invest in insurance-linked instruments and similar investments (which may include, for example, event-linked bonds, such as catastrophe and resilience bonds, and securities relating to life insurance policies, annuity contracts and premium finance loans). The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in these types of investments, and the right to additional interest and/or dividend payments with respect to the investments, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as defined within the terms of an investment. Trigger events may include natural or other perils of a specific size or magnitude that occur in a designated geographic region during a specified time period, and/or that involve losses or other metrics that exceed a specific amount. The Fund may also invest in insurance-linked instruments that are subject to “indemnity triggers,” which are tied to losses of the issuer. Insurance-linked instruments subject to indemnity triggers are often regarded as being subject to potential moral hazard, since such insurance-linked investments are triggered by actual losses of the ceding sponsor and the ceding sponsor may have an incentive to take actions and/or risks that would have an adverse effect on the Fund. There is no way to accurately predict whether a trigger event will occur and, accordingly, insurance-linked instruments and similar investments carry significant risk. In addition to the specified trigger events, these types of investments may expose the Fund to other risks, including but not limited to issuer (credit) default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations and adverse tax consequences. Certain
insurance-linked
instruments and similar investments may have limited liquidity, or may be illiquid. The Fund has limited transparency into the individual contracts underlying certain 78 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
insurance-linked instruments and similar investments, which may make the risk assessment of them more difficult. These types of investments may be difficult to value.
The aforementioned instruments may include longevity and mortality investments, including indirect investment in pools of insurance-related longevity and mortality investments, including life insurance policies, annuity contracts and premium finance loans. Such investments are subject to “longevity risk” and/or “mortality risk.” Longevity risk is the risk that members of a reference population will live longer, on average, than anticipated. Mortality risk is the risk that members of a reference population will live shorter, on average, than anticipated. Changes in these rates can significantly affect the liabilities and cash needs of life insurers, annuity providers and pension funds. The terms of a longevity bond typically provide that the investor in the bond will receive less than the bond’s par amount at maturity if the actual average longevity (life span) of a specified population of people observed over a specified period of time (typically measured by a longevity index) is higher than a specified level. If longevity is higher than expected, the bond will return less than its par amount at maturity. A mortality bond, in contrast to a longevity bond, typically provides that the investor in the bond will receive less than the bond’s par amount at maturity if the mortality rate of a specified population of people observed over a specified period of time (typically measured by a mortality index) is higher than a specified level.
During their term, both longevity bonds and mortality bonds typically pay a floating rate of interest to investors. Longevity and mortality investments purchased by the Fund involve the risk of incorrectly predicting the actual level of longevity or mortality, as applicable, for the reference population of people. With respect to mortality investments held by the Fund, there is also the risk that an epidemic or other catastrophic event could strike the reference population, resulting in mortality rates exceeding expectations. The Fund may also gain this type of exposure through event-linked derivative instruments, such as swaps, that are contingent on or formulaically related to longevity or mortality risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities and other instruments in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. Factors including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates, and changes in general economic conditions may cause interest rates to rise, which could cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. For example, as nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by the Fund is likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable, and the Fund
may experience losses as a result of movements in interest rates. The Fund may not be able to effectively hedge against changes in interest rates or may choose not to do so for cost or other reasons.
A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates or yields of U.S. Treasury securities (or yields of other types of bonds) to rise, including but not limited to central bank monetary policies, changing inflation or real growth rates, general economic conditions, increasing bond issuances or reduced market demand for low yielding investments. In addition, changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. In addition, changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Further, in market environments where interest rates are rising, issuers may be less willing or able to make principal and interest payments on fixed-income investments when due. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases or decreases in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, which may adversely affect the Fund and its investments.
Further, fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates that incorporates a security’s yield, coupon, final maturity and call features, among other characteristics. Duration is useful primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e., yield) movements. All other things remaining equal, for each one percentage point increase in interest rates, the value of a portfolio of fixed income investments would generally be expected to decline by one percent for every year of the portfolio’s average duration above zero. For example, the value of a portfolio of fixed income securities with an average duration of eight years would generally be expected to decline by approximately 8% if interest rates rose by one percentage point.
Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Inverse floating rate securities may decrease in value if interest rates increase. Inverse floating rate securities may also exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation with similar credit quality. When the Fund holds variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the NAV of the Fund’s shares.

Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Fund performance to the extent the Fund is exposed to such interest rates.
Measures such as average duration may not accurately reflect the true interest rate sensitivity of the Fund. This is especially the case if the Fund consists of securities with widely varying durations. Therefore, if the Fund has an average duration that suggests a certain level of interest rate risk, the Fund may in fact be subject to greater interest rate risk than the average would suggest. This risk is greater to the extent the Fund uses leverage or derivatives in connection with the management of the Fund.
Convexity is an additional measure used to understand a security’s or Fund’s interest rate sensitivity. Convexity measures the rate of change of duration in response to changes in interest rates. With respect to a security’s price, a larger convexity (positive or negative) may imply more dramatic price changes in response to changing interest rates. Convexity may be positive or negative. Negative convexity implies that interest rate increases result in increased duration and that interest rate decreases result in declining duration (i.e., increased sensitivity in prices in response to rising and/or declining interest rates). Thus, securities with negative convexity, which may include bonds with traditional call features and certain mortgage-backed securities, may experience greater losses in periods of rising interest rates. Accordingly, if the Fund holds such securities, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of losses in periods of rising interest rates.
Rising interest rates may result in periods of volatility and a decline in value of the Fund’s fixed income investments. Also, when interest rates rise, issuers are less likely to refinance existing debt sec
ur
ities, causing the average life of such securities to extend. Further, while U.S. bond markets have steadily grown over the past three decades, dealer “market making” ability has remained relatively stagnant. As a result, dealer inventories of certain types of bonds and similar instruments, which provide a core indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to “make markets,” are at or near historic lows in relation to market size. Because market makers provide stability to a market through their intermediary services, a significant reduction in dealer inventories could potentially lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed income markets. Such issues may be exacerbated during periods of economic uncertainty. All of these factors, collectively and/or individually, could cause the Fund to lose value. Issuer Risk
The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, major litigation, investigations or other controversies, changes in the issuer’s financial condition or credit rating, changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or its competitive environment and strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions or dispositions and the market response to any such initiatives, financial leverage, reputation or reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets. A change in the financial condition of a single issuer may affect one or more other issuers or securities markets as a whole. These risks can apply to the Common Shares issued by the Fund and to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests.
Leverage Risk
The Fund’s use of leverage, if any, creates the opportunity for increased Common Share net income, but also creates special risks for Common Shareholders (including an increased risk of loss). To the extent used, there is no assurance that the Fund’s leveraging strategies will be successful. Leverage is a speculative technique that may expose the Fund to greater risk and increased costs. The Fund’s assets attributable to leverage, if any, will be invested in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. Interest expense payable by the Fund with respect to derivatives and other forms of leverage, and dividends payable with respect to preferred shares outstanding, if any, will generally be based on shorter-term interest rates that would be periodically reset. So long as the Fund’s portfolio investments provide a higher rate of return (net of applicable Fund expenses) than the interest expenses and other costs to the Fund of such leverage, the investment of the proceeds thereof will generate more income than will be needed to pay the costs of the leverage. If so, and all other things being equal, the excess may be used to pay higher dividends to Common Shareholders than if the Fund were not so leveraged. There can be no assurance these circumstances will occur. If, however, shorter-term interest rates rise relative to the rate of return on the Fund’s portfolio, the interest and other costs to the Fund of leverage could exceed the rate of return on the debt obligations and other investments held by the Fund, thereby reducing return to Common Shareholders. When the Fund reduces or discontinues its use of leverage (“deleveraging”), which it may be required to do at inopportune times, it may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times to repay leverage obligations, which could result in realized losses and a decrease in the Fund’s NAV. Deleveraging involves complex operational processes, including the coordination of asset sales, repayment of debt, and potential restructuring of the Fund’s capital and may involve significant costs, including transaction costs associated with the sale of portfolio

securities, prepayment penalties on borrowed funds, and, if applicable, fees related to the redemption of preferred shares. Leveraging transactions pursued by the Fund may increase its duration and sensitivity to interest rate changes and other market risks. The Fund may continue to use leverage even if available financing rates are higher than anticipated returns, including, for example, in cases where deleveraging, including any expenses related thereto, might be viewed as detrimental to the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, fees and expenses of any form of leverage used by the Fund will be borne entirely by the Common Shareholders (and not by preferred shareholders, if any) and will reduce the investment return of the Common Shares. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Fund’s use of leverage will result in a higher yield on the Common Shares, and it may result in losses. In addition, any preferred shares issued by the Fund are expected to pay cumulative dividends, which may tend to increase leverage risk. Leverage creates several major types of risks for Common Shareholders, including:
∎ |
the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV and market price of Common Shares, and of the investment return to Common Shareholders, than a comparable portfolio without leverage; |
∎ |
the possibility either that Common Share dividends will fall if the interest and other costs of leverage rise, or that dividends paid on Common Shares will fluctuate because such costs vary over time; and |
∎ |
the effects of leverage in a declining market or a rising interest rate environment, as leverage is likely to cause a greater decline in the NAV of the Common Shares than if the Fund were not leveraged. |
In addition, the counterparties to the Fund’s leveraging transactions and any preferred shareholders of the Fund will have priority of payment over the Fund’s Common Shareholders.
Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risks that the interest income earned on the investment of the proceeds will be less than the interest expense and Fund expenses associated with the repurchase agreement, that the market value of the securities sold by the Fund may decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase such securities and that the securities may not be returned to the Fund. There is no assurance that reverse repurchase agreements can be successfully employed. Dollar roll/buyback transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities the Fund is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities. Successful use of dollar rolls/buybacks may depend upon the Investment Manager’s ability to correctly predict interest rates and prepayments. There is no assurance that dollar rolls/buybacks can be successfully employed. In connection with reverse repurchase agreements and dollar rolls/buybacks, the Fund will also be
subject to counterparty risk with respect to the purchaser of the securities. If the broker/dealer to whom the Fund sells securities becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to purchase or repurchase securities may be restricted.
The Fund may engage in total return swaps, reverse repurchases, loans of portfolio securities, short sales and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions, credit default swaps, basis swaps and other swap agreements, purchases or sales of futures and forward contracts (including foreign currency exchange contracts), call and put options or other derivatives. The Fund’s use of such transactions gives rise to associated leverage risks described above, and may adversely affect the Fund’s income, distributions and total returns to Common Shareholders. To the extent that any offsetting positions do not behave in relation to one another as expected, the Fund may perform as if it is leveraged through use of these derivative strategies.
Any total return swaps, reverse repurchases, loans of portfolio securities, short sales and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions, credit default swaps, basis swaps and other swap agreements, purchases or sales of futures and forward contracts (including foreign currency exchange contracts), call and put options or other derivatives by the Fund or counterparties to the Fund’s other leveraging transactions, if any, would have seniority over the Fund’s Common Shares.
In addition to Preferred Shares and TOBs, the Fund may engage in other transactions that may give rise to a form of leverage including, among others loans of portfolio securities, short sales and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions, credit default swaps, reverse repurchases, or other derivatives. The Fund’s use of such transactions gives rise to associated leverage risks described above, and may adversely affect the Fund’s income, distributions and total returns to Common Shareholders. The Fund may offset derivatives positions against one another or against other assets to manage effective market exposure resulting from derivatives in portfolio. To the extent that any offsetting positions do not behave in relation to one another as expected, the Fund may perform as if it is leveraged through use of these derivative strategies. See “Use of Leverage.”
The Fund is required to satisfy certain regulatory and rating agency asset coverage requirements in connection with its use of Preferred Shares. Accordingly, any decline in the NAV of the Fund’s investments could result in the risk that the Fund will fail to meet its asset coverage requirements for any such Preferred Shares or the risk of the Preferred Shares being downgraded by a rating agency. In an extreme case, the Fund’s current investment income might not be sufficient to meet the

Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
dividend requirements on any preferred shares outstanding. In order to address these types of events, the Fund might need to liquidate investments in order to fund a redemption of some or all of Preferred Shares. Liquidations at inopportune times or times of adverse economic conditions may result in a loss to the Fund. At other times, these liquidations may result in gain at the Fund level and thus in additional taxable distributions to Common Shareholders. Any Preferred Shares of portfolio securities, short sales and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions, credit default swaps, reverse repurchases, or other derivatives by the Fund or counterparties to the Fund’s other leveraging transactions, if any, would have, seniority over the Fund’s Common Shares.
When the Fund issues preferred shares, the Fund pays (and the Common Shareholders bear) all costs and expenses relating to the issuance and ongoing maintenance of Preferred Shares. In addition, holders of any Preferred Shares issued by the Fund would have complete priority over Common Shareholders in the distribution of the Fund’s assets. Furthermore, preferred shareholders, voting separately as a single class, have the right to elect two members of the Board at all times and to elect a majority of the trustees in the event two full years’ dividends on the Preferred Shares are unpaid, and also have separate class voting rights on certain matters. Accordingly, preferred shareholders may have interests that differ from those of Common Shareholders, and may at times have disproportionate influence over the Fund’s affairs.
Because the fees received by the Investment Manager may increase depending on the types of leverage utilized by the Fund,
1
the Investment Manager has a financial incentive for the Fund to use certain forms of leverage, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager, on the one hand, and the Common Shareholders, on the other hand. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell. Illiquid investments are investments that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Illiquid investments may become harder to value, especially in changing markets. The Fund’s investments in illiquid investments may reduce the returns of the Fund because it may be unable to sell the illiquid investments at an advantageous time or price or possibly require the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations, which could prevent the

Fund from taking advantage of other investment opportunities. Illiquidity can be caused by, among other things, a drop in overall market trading volume, an inability to find a willing buyer, or legal restrictions on the securities’ resale. Additionally, the market for certain investments may become illiquid under adverse market or economic conditions independent of any specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer, such as during political events (including periods of rapid interest rate changes). There can be no assurance that an investment that is deemed to be liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid while it is held by the Fund and/or when the Fund wishes to dispose of it. Bond markets have consistently grown over the past three decades while the capacity for traditional dealer counterparties to engage in fixed income trading has not kept pace and in some cases has decreased. As a result, dealer inventories of corporate bonds, which provide a core indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to “make markets,” are at or near historic lows in relation to market size. Because market makers seek to provide stability to a market through their intermediary services, the significant reduction in dealer inventories could potentially lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed income markets. Such issues may be exacerbated during periods of economic uncertainty.
In such cases, the Fund, due to regulatory limitations on investments in illiquid investments and the difficulty in purchasing and selling such securities or instruments, may be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector.
Further, fixed income securities with longer durations until maturity face heightened levels of liquidity risk as compared to fixed income securities with shorter durations until maturity. The risks associated with illiquid instruments may be particularly acute in situations in which the Fund’s operations require cash (such as in connection with repurchase offers) and could result in the Fund borrowing to meet its short-term needs or incurring losses on the sale of illiquid instruments. It may also be the case that other market participants may be attempting to liquidate fixed income holdings at the same time as the Fund, causing increased supply in the market and contributing to liquidity risk and downward pricing pressure.
Liquidity risk also refers to the risk that the Fund may be required to hold additional cash or sell other investments in order to obtain cash to close out derivatives or meet the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties. The Fund may have to sell a security at a disadvantageous time or price to meet such obligations.
The current direction of governments and regulators may have the effect of reducing market liquidity, market resiliency and money

supply, such as through higher rates, tighter financial regulations and proposals related
to open-end fund
liquidity that may prevent mutual funds and exchange-traded funds from participating in certain markets. Loans and Other Indebtedness; Loan Acquisitions, Participations and Assignments Risk
Loan interests may take the form of (i) direct interests acquired during a primary distribution or other purchase of a loan, (ii) loans originated by the Fund or (iii) assignments of, novations of or participations in all or a portion of a loan acquired in secondary markets. In addition to credit risk and interest rate risk, the Fund’s exposure to loan interests may be subject to additional risks. For example, purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of principal and interest. Loans are subject to the risk that scheduled interest or principal payments will not be made in a timely manner or at all, either of which may adversely affect the value of the loan. If the Fund does not receive scheduled interest or principal payments on such indebtedness, the Fund’s share price and yield could be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured may offer the Fund more protection than an unsecured loan in the event
of non-payment
of scheduled interest or principal if the Fund is able to access and monetize the collateral. However, the collateral underlying a loan, if any, may be unavailable or insufficient to satisfy a borrower’s obligation. If the Fund becomes owner, whole or in part, of any collateral after a loan is foreclosed, the Fund may incur costs associated with owning and/or monetizing its ownership of the collateral. During periods of deteriorating economic conditions, such as recessions or periods of rising unemployment, or changing interest rates (notably increases), delinquencies and losses generally increase, sometimes dramatically with respect to obligations under such loans. An economic downturn or individual corporate developments could adversely affect the market for these instruments and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell these instruments at an advantageous time or price. An economic downturn could also lead to a higher
non-payment
rate and, a loan may lose significant market value before a default occurs. Investments in loans through a purchase of a loan, loan origination or a direct assignment of a financial institution’s interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks to the Fund. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the Fund could become owner, in whole or in part, of any collateral, which could include, among other assets, real estate or other real or personal property, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and holding or disposing of the collateral. Moreover, the purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement with the same rights
and obligations as the assigning lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning lender. The Fund may also invest in loans that are not secured by collateral which typically present greater risks than collateralized loans.
In connection with purchasing loan participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any
rights of set-off against
the borrower, and the Fund may not directly benefit from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the loan participation. As a result, the Fund will be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling a participation, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the
lender and the borrower. Certain loan participations may be structured in a manner designed to prevent purchasers of participations from being subject to the credit risk of the lender, but even under such a structure, in the event of the lender’s insolvency, the lender’s servicing of the participation may be delayed and the assignability of the participation impaired. The Fund may have difficulty disposing of loans and loan participations. Because there may not be a liquid market for many such investments, the Fund anticipates that such investments could be sold only to a limited number of institutional investors. The lack of a liquid secondary market may have an adverse impact on the value of such investments and the Fund’s ability to dispose of particular loans and loan participations when that would be desirable, including in response to a specific economic event such as a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the borrower. The lack of a liquid secondary market for loans and loan participations also may make it more difficult for the Fund to assign a value to these securities for purposes of valuing the Fund’s portfolio.
Investments in loans may include participations in bridge loans, which are loans taken out by borrowers for a short period (typically less than one year) pending arrangement of more permanent financing through, for example, the issuance of bonds, frequently high yield bonds issued for the purpose of acquisitions.
Investments in loans may include acquisitions of, or participation in, delayed draw and delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities. These commitments may have the effect of requiring the Fund to increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it might not otherwise decide to do so (including at a time when the company’s

Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
financial condition makes it unlikely that such amounts will be repaid). Delayed draw and delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities may be subject to restrictions on transfer, and only limited opportunities may exist to resell such instruments. As a result, a Fund may be unable to sell such investments at an opportune time or may have to resell them at less than fair market value. Further, the Fund may need to hold liquid assets in order to provide funding for these types of commitments, meaning the Fund may not be able to invest in other attractive investments, or the Fund may need to liquidate existing assets in order to provide such funding.
The Fund may invest in financings (commonly known as “DIP financings”). DIP financings are arranged when an entity seeks the protections of the bankruptcy court under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These financings allow the entity to continue its business operations while reorganizing under Chapter 11. Such financings constitute senior liens on an unencumbered security (i.e., a security not subject to other creditors’ claims). There is a risk that the entity will not emerge from Chapter 11 and be forced to liquidate its assets under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In the event of a liquidation, the Fund’s only recourse will be against the property securing the DIP financing.
debtor-in-possession
To the extent the Fund invests in loans, or originates loans, the Fund may be subject to greater levels of credit risk, call risk, settlement risk, risk of subordination to other creditors, insufficient or lack of protection under federal securities laws and liquidity risk. These instruments are considered predominantly speculative with respect to an issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments and may be more volatile than other types of securities. The Fund may also be subject to greater levels of liquidity risk than funds that do not invest in loans. In addition, the loans in which the Fund invests may not be listed on any exchange and a secondary market for such loans may be comparatively illiquid relative to markets for other more liquid fixed income securities. Consequently, transactions in loans may involve greater costs than transactions in more actively traded securities. In connection with certain loan transactions, transaction costs that are borne by the Fund may include the expenses of third parties that are retained to assist with reviewing and conducting diligence, negotiating, structuring and servicing a loan transaction, and/or providing other services in connection therewith. Furthermore, the Fund may incur such costs in connection with loan transactions that are pursued by the Fund but not ultimately consummated (so-called “broken deal costs”).
Restrictions on transfers in loan agreements, a lack of publicly available information, irregular trading activity and wide bid/ask spreads, among other factors, may, in certain circumstances, make
loans more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price than other types of securities or instruments. These factors may result in the Fund being unable to realize full value for the loans and/or may result in the Fund not receiving the proceeds from a sale of a loan for an extended period after such sale, each of which could result in losses to the Fund. Some loans may have extended trade settlement periods, including settlement periods of greater than seven days, which may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. If an issuer of a loan prepays or redeems the loan prior to maturity, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in other loans or similar instruments that may pay lower interest rates. Because of such risks involved in investing in loans, an investment in the Fund should be considered speculative.
The Fund’s investments in subordinated and unsecured loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in secured loans. Subordinated or unsecured loans are lower in priority of payment to secured loans and are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. This risk is generally higher for subordinated unsecured loans or debt, which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. Subordinated and unsecured loans generally have greater price volatility than secured loans and may be less liquid. There is also a possibility that originators will not be able to sell participations in subordinated or unsecured loans, which would create greater credit risk exposure for the holders of such loans. Subordinate and unsecured loans share the same risks as other below investment grade securities.
There may be less readily available information about most loans and the underlying borrowers than is the case for many other types of securities. Loans may be issued by borrowers that are not subject to SEC reporting requirements and therefore may not be required to file reports with the SEC or may file reports that are not required to comply with SEC form requirements. In addition, such borrowers may be subject to a less stringent liability disclosure regime than companies subject to SEC reporting requirements. Loans may not be considered “securities,” and purchasers, such as the Fund, therefore may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws. Because there is limited public information available regarding loan investments, the Fund is particularly dependent on the analytical abilities of the Fund’s portfolio managers.
Economic exposure to loan interests through the use of derivative transactions may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the loan interest directly during a primary distribution, through direct originations or through assignments of, novations of or participations in a loan acquired in secondary markets since, in addition to the risks
84 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
described above, certain derivative transactions may be subject to leverage risk and greater illiquidity risk, counterparty risk, valuation risk and other risks.
Loan Origination Risk
Each Fund may invest in and/or originate loans, including, without limitation, to, on behalf of, authorized by, sponsored by, and/or in connection with a project for which authority and responsibility lies with one or more U.S. states or territories, cities in a U.S. state or territory, or political subdivisions, agencies, authorities or instrumentalities of such states, territories or cities, which may be in the form of, and without limitation as to a loan’s level of seniority within a capital structure, whole loans, assignments, participations, secured and unsecured notes, senior and second lien loans, mezzanine loans, bridge loans or similar investments. This may include loans to public or private firms or individuals, such as in connection with housing development projects. When investing in or originating loans, the Fund is not restricted by any particular credit risk criteria and/or qualifications. The Fund also is not limited in the amount, size or type of loans it may invest in and/or originate, including with respect to a single borrower, other than pursuant to any applicable law. The loans the Fund invests in or originates may vary in maturity and/or duration. The Fund’s investment in or origination of loans may also be limited by the requirements the Fund intends to observe under Subchapter M of the Code, in order to qualify as a RIC. The loans acquired by the Fund may be “Municipal Bonds” (including of a particular state) for purposes of the Fund’s investment policies to invest a certain minimum of their assets in securities that produce income that is exempt from federal income tax and, as applicable, the income taxes of a particular state, or may be loans that produce income that is subject to applicable regular income tax, subject to the Fund’s investment limits. The Fund may subsequently offer such investments for sale to third parties; provided, that there is no assurance that the Fund will complete the sale of such an investment. If the Fund is unable to sell, assign or successfully close transactions for the loans that it originates, the Fund will be forced to hold its interest in such loans for an indeterminate period of time. This could result in the Fund’s investments having high exposure to certain borrowers. The Fund will be responsible for the expenses associated with originating a loan (whether or not consummated). This may include significant legal and due diligence expenses, which will be borne by the Fund and common shareholders.
Bridge loans are generally made with the expectation that the borrower will be able to obtain permanent financing in the near future. Any delay in obtaining permanent financing subjects the bridge loan investor to increased risk. A borrower’s use of bridge loans also involves the risk that the borrower may be unable to locate permanent
financing to replace the bridge loan, which may impair the borrower’s perceived creditworthiness.
Loan origination and servicing companies are routinely involved in legal proceedings concerning matters that arise in the ordinary course of their business. In addition, a number of participants in the loan origination and servicing industry (including control persons of industry participants) have been the subject of regulatory actions by state regulators, including state attorneys general, and by the federal government. Governmental investigations, examinations or regulatory actions, or private lawsuits, including purported class action lawsuits, may adversely affect such companies’ financial results. To the extent the Fund engages in origination and/or servicing directly, or has a financial interest in, or is otherwise affiliated with, an origination or servicing company, the Fund will be subject to enhanced risks of litigation, regulatory actions and other proceedings. As a result, the Fund may be required to pay legal fees, settlement costs, damages, penalties or other charges, any or all of which could materially adversely affect the Fund and its holdings.
Management Risk
The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. PIMCO and each individual portfolio manager will apply investment techniques and risk analysis and will, in some cases, rely partially or entirely upon or be informed by one or more quantitative models in making investment decisions for the Fund. PIMCO may determine that certain factors are more significant than others, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results or that the due diligence conducted by PIMCO will evaluate every factor prior to investing in a company or issuer and expose all material risks associated with an investment. Additionally, PIMCO may not be able to identify suitable investment opportunities and may face competition from other investment managers when identifying and consummating certain investments. Certain securities or other instruments in which the Fund seeks to invest may not be available in the quantities desired, including in circumstances where other funds for which PIMCO acts as investment adviser, including funds with names, investment objectives and policies, and/or portfolio management teams, similar to the Fund, are seeking to invest in the same or similar securities or instruments. In addition, regulatory restrictions, actual or perceived conflicts of interest or other considerations may cause PIMCO to restrict or prohibit participation in certain investments. In such circumstances, PIMCO or the individual portfolio managers may determine to purchase other securities or instruments as substitutes. Such substitute securities or instruments may not perform as intended, which could result in losses to the Fund. To the extent the Fund employs strategies targeting perceived pricing inefficiencies, arbitrage strategies or similar

| | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | 85 |
Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
strategies, it is subject to the risk that the pricing or valuation of the securities and instruments involved in such strategies may change unexpectedly, which may result in reduced returns or losses to the Fund. The Fund is also subject to the risk that deficiencies in the internal systems or controls of PIMCO or another service provider will cause losses for the Fund or hinder Fund operations. For example, trading delays or errors (both human and systemic) could prevent the Fund from purchasing a security expected to appreciate in value. Additionally, actual or potential conflicts of interest, legislative, regulatory, or tax restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and each individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. There also can be no assurance that all of the personnel of PIMCO will continue to be associated with PIMCO for any length of time. The loss of services of one or more key employees of PIMCO could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to realize its investment objective.
In addition, the Fund may rely on various third-party sources to calculate its NAV. As a result, the Fund is subject to certain operational risks associated with reliance on service providers and service providers’ data sources. In particular, errors or systems failures and other technological issues may adversely impact the Fund’s calculations of its NAV, and such NAV calculation issues may result in inaccurately calculated NAVs, delays in NAV calculation and/or the inability to calculate NAVs over extended periods. The Fund may be unable to recover any losses associated with such failures.
Market Discount Risk
The price of the Fund’s Common Shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. If you sell your Common Shares, the price received may be more or less than your original investment. The Common Shares are designed for long-term investors and should not be treated as trading
vehicles. Shares of closed-end management
investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their NAV. The Common Shares may trade at a price that is less than the offering price for Common Shares issued pursuant to an offering. This risk may be greater for investors who sell their Common Shares relatively shortly after completion of an offering. The sale of Common Shares by a Fund (or the perception that such sales may occur), particularly if sold at a discount to the then current market price of the Common Shares, may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Common Shares. Market Disruptions Risk
The Fund is subject to investment and operational risks associated with financial, economic and other global market developments and disruptions, including those arising from war, military conflicts,
terrorism, social unrest, recessions, supply chain disruptions, market manipulation, government interventions, defaults and shutdowns, political changes or diplomatic developments, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), bank failures and natural/environmental disasters, which can all negatively impact the securities markets, interest rates, auctions, secondary trading, ratings, credit risk, inflation, deflation and other factors relating to the Fund’s investments or the Investment Manager’s operations and the value of an investment in the Fund, its distributions and its returns. These events can also impair the technology and other operational systems upon which the Fund’s service providers, including PIMCO as the Fund’s investment adviser, rely, and could otherwise disrupt the Fund’s service providers’ ability to fulfill their obligations to the Fund. Furthermore, events involving limited liquidity,
defaults, non-performance or
other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. Market Risk
The market price of securities owned by the Fund may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Securities may decline in value due to a variety of factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries, sectors or companies represented in the securities markets. The value of a security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in inflation, interest or currency rates, financial system instability, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of a security may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously even if the performance of those asset classes is not otherwise historically correlated. Investments may also be negatively impacted by market disruptions and by attempts by other market participants to manipulate the prices of particular investments. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities. Credit ratings downgrades may also negatively affect securities held by the Fund. Even when markets perform well, there is no assurance that the investments held by the Fund will increase in value along with the broader market.
In addition, market risk includes the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level. For instance, actual or threatened war or military conflict, terrorism, social

unrest, recessions, supply chain disruptions, market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, political and regulatory changes, diplomatic developments or the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures, including the imposition of tariffs, or other U.S. economic policies and any related public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics) and natural/environmental disasters can all negatively impact the securities markets, which could cause the Fund to lose value. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, changes in interest rates, inflation/deflation, travel restrictions or quarantines, and significantly adversely impact the economy.
As computing technology and data analytics continually advance there has been an increasing trend towards machine driven and artificially intelligent trading systems, particularly providing such systems with increasing levels of autonomy in trading decisions. Regulators of financial markets have become increasingly focused on the potential impact of artificial intelligence on investment activities and may issue regulations that are intended to affect the use of artificial technology in trading activities. Any such regulations may not have the intended affect on financial markets. Moreover, advancements in artificial intelligence and other technologies may suffer from the introduction of errors, defects or security vulnerabilities which can go undetected. The potential speed of such trading and technologies may exacerbate the impact of any such flaws, particularly where such flaws are exploited by other artificially intelligent systems and may act to impair or prevent the intervention of a human control.
The domestic political environment, as well as political and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad, such as the U.S. government’s inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan, has resulted, and may in the future result, in a government shutdown or otherwise adversely affect the U.S. regulatory landscape, the general market environment and/or investor sentiment, which could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s investments and operations. Additional and/or prolonged U.S. federal government shutdowns may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have previously responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including but not limited to, direct capital infusions into companies, new monetary programs and dramatically lower interest rates. An unexpected or sudden reversal of these policies, or the ineffectiveness of these policies, could increase volatility in securities markets, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments. Any market disruptions could
also prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner. Funds that have focused their investments in a region enduring geopolitical market disruption will face higher risks of loss. Thus, investors should closely monitor current market conditions to determine whether the Fund meets their individual financial needs and tolerance for risk.
During inflationary price movements, fixed income securities markets may experience heightened levels of interest rate, volatility and liquidity risk. Interest rate increases in the future could cause the value of a fund that invests in fixed income securities to decrease.
Interest rate increases and other market events have the potential to adversely impact real estate values and real estate-related asset prices, which could, by extension, adversely impact the value of other investments, such as loans, securitized debt and other fixed income securities. Such an impact could materialize in one real estate sector and not another, or in a different manner in different real estate sectors. Examples of the current risks faced by real estate-related assets include: tenant vacancy rates, increased tenant turnover and tenant concentration; general real estate headwinds, including delinquencies and difficulties in collecting rents and other payments (which increases the risk of owners being unable to pay or otherwise defaulting on their own borrowings and obligations); decreases in property values; increases in inflation, upkeep costs and other expenses; fluctuations in rents; and increased concentration in ownership of certain types of properties.
Exchanges and securities markets may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, which may result in, among other things, the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments at an advantageous time or accurately price its portfolio investments.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Instruments Risk
The mortgage-related assets in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, any security, instrument or other asset that is related to
U.S. or non-U.S. mortgages,
including those issued by private originators or issuers, or issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities or by non-U.S. governments
or authorities, such as, without limitation, assets representing interests in, collateralized or backed by, or whose values are determined in whole or in part by reference to any number of mortgages or pools of mortgages or the payment experience of such mortgages or pools of mortgages, including REMICs, which could include Re-REMICs, mortgage
pass-through securities, inverse floaters, CMOs, CLOs, multi-class pass-through securities, private mortgage pass-through securities, stripped mortgage securities (generally interest-only and principal-only securities), mortgage-related asset backed securities and mortgage-related loans (including through ANNUAL REPORT |
| | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | 87 |
Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
participations, assignments, originations and whole loans), including commercial and residential mortgage loans. Exposures to mortgage-related assets through derivatives or other financial instruments will be considered investments in mortgage-related assets.
The Fund may also invest in other types of ABS, including CDOs, CBOs and CLOs and other similarly structured securities.
Mortgage-related and other asset-backed instruments represent interests in “pools” of mortgages or other assets such as consumer loans or receivables held in trust and often involve risks that are different from or possibly more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments.
Generally, rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed rate mortgage-related assets, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. Compared to other fixed income investments with similar maturity and credit, mortgage-related securities may increase in value to a lesser extent when interest rates decline and may decline in value to a similar or greater extent when interest rates rise. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility since individual mortgage holders are less likely to exercise prepayment options, thereby putting additional downward pressure on the value of these securities and potentially causing the Fund to experience losses. This is known as extension risk. Mortgage-backed securities can be highly sensitive to rising interest rates, such that even small movements can cause the Fund to lose value. Mortgage-backed securities, and in particular those not backed by a government guarantee, are subject to credit risk. When interest rates decline, borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner than expected. This can reduce the returns of the Fund because the Fund may have to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates. The Fund’s investments in other asset-backed instruments are subject to risks similar to those associated with mortgage-related assets, as well as additional risks associated with the nature of the assets and the servicing of those assets. Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed instruments may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the instruments, and asset-backed instruments may not have the benefit of any security interest in the related assets.
Subordinate mortgage-backed or asset-backed instruments are paid interest only to the extent that there are funds available to make payments. To the extent the collateral pool includes a large percentage of delinquent loans, there is a risk that interest payments on subordinate mortgage-backed or asset-backed instruments will not be fully paid.
There are multiple tranches of mortgage-backed and asset-backed instruments, offering investors various maturity and credit risk
characteristics. For example, tranches may be categorized as senior, mezzanine, and subordinated/equity or “first loss,” according to their degree of risk. The most senior tranche of a mortgage-backed or asset-backed instrument generally has the greatest collateralization and generally pays the lowest interest rate. If there are defaults or the collateral otherwise underperforms, scheduled payments to senior tranches generally take precedence over those of mezzanine tranches, and scheduled payments to mezzanine tranches take precedence over those to subordinated/equity tranches. Lower tranches represent lower degrees of credit quality and pay higher interest rates intended to compensate for the attendant risks. The return on the lower tranches is especially sensitive to the rate of defaults in the collateral pool. The lowest tranche (i.e., the “equity” or “residual” tranche) generally specifically receives the residual interest payments (i.e., money that is left over after the higher tranches have been paid and expenses of the issuing entities have been paid) rather than a fixed interest rate. The Fund may also invest in the residual or equity tranches of mortgage-related and other asset-backed instruments, which may be referred to as subordinate mortgage-backed or asset-backed instruments and interest-only mortgage-backed or asset-backed instruments. The Fund expects that investments in subordinate mortgage-backed and other asset-backed instruments will be subject to risks arising from delinquencies and foreclosures, thereby exposing its investment portfolio to potential losses. Subordinate securities of mortgage-backed and other asset-backed instruments are also subject to greater credit risk than those mortgage-backed or other asset-backed instruments that are more highly rated.
The mortgage markets in the United States and in various foreign countries have experienced extreme difficulties in the past that adversely affected the performance and market value of certain of the Fund’s mortgage-related investments. Delinquencies and losses on residential and commercial mortgage loans (especially subprime and second-lien mortgage loans) may increase, and a decline in or flattening of housing and other real property values may exacerbate such delinquencies and losses. In addition, reduced investor demand for mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities and increased investor yield requirements have caused limited liquidity in the secondary market for mortgage-related securities, which can adversely affect the market value of mortgage-related securities. It is possible that such limited liquidity in such secondary markets could continue or worsen.
With respect to risk retention tranches (i.e., eligible residual interests initially held by the sponsors of commercial mortgage-backed security (“CMBS”) and other eligible securitizations pursuant to Section 619 and 941 (the “U.S. Risk Retention Rules”) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, a third-party purchaser, such as the Fund, must hold its retained interest, unhedged, for at
88 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
least five years following the closing of the CMBS transaction, after which it is entitled to transfer its interest in the securitization to another person that meets the requirements for a third-party purchaser. Even after the required holding period has expired, due to the generally illiquid nature of such investments, no assurance can be given as to what, if any, exit strategies will ultimately be available for any given position.
In addition, there is limited guidance on the application of the final U.S. Risk Retention Rules to specific securitization structures. There can be no assurance that the applicable federal agencies charged with the implementation of the final U.S. Risk Retention Rules (e.g., the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, the SEC, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency) could not take positions in the future that differ from the interpretation of such rules taken or embodied in such securitizations, or that the final U.S. Risk Retention Rules will not change.
Furthermore, in situations where the Fund invests in risk retention tranches of securitizations structured by third parties, the Fund may be required to execute one or more letters or other agreements, the exact form and nature of which will vary (each, a “Risk Retention Agreement”) under which it will make certain undertakings designed to ensure such securitization complies with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules. Such Risk Retention Agreements may include a variety of representations, warranties, covenants and other indemnities, each of which may run to various transaction parties. If the Fund breaches any undertakings in any Risk Retention Agreement, it will be exposed to claims by the other parties thereto, including for any losses incurred as a result of such breach, which could be significant and exceed the value of the Fund’s investments.
Mortgage-Related Derivative Instruments Risk
The Fund may engage in derivative transactions related to mortgage-backed securities, including purchasing and selling exchange-listed and OTC put and call options, futures and forwards on mortgages and mortgage-backed securities. The Fund may also invest in mortgage-backed securities credit default swaps, which include swaps the reference obligation for which is a mortgage-backed security or related index, such as the CMBX Index (a tradeable index referencing a basket of commercial mortgage-backed securities), the TRX Index (a tradeable index referencing total return swaps based on commercial mortgage-backed securities) or the ABX (a tradeable index referencing a
basket of sub-prime mortgage-backed
securities). The Fund may invest in newly developed mortgage related derivatives that may hereafter become available. Derivative mortgage-backed securities (such as principal-only (“POs”), interest-only (“IOs”) or inverse floating rate securities) are particularly
exposed to call and extension risks. Small changes in mortgage prepayments can significantly impact the cash flows and the market value of these derivative instruments. In general, the risk of faster than anticipated prepayments adversely affects IOs, super floaters and premium priced mortgage-backed securities. The risk of slower than anticipated prepayments generally affects POs, floating-rate securities subject to interest rate caps, support tranches and discount priced mortgage-backed securities. In addition, particular derivative instruments may be leveraged such that their exposure (i.e., price sensitivity) to interest rate and/or prepayment risk is magnified.
Mortgage-related derivative instruments involve risks associated with mortgage-related and other asset-backed instruments, privately-issued mortgage-related securities, the mortgage market, the real estate industry, derivatives and credit default swaps.
Municipal Bond Risk
Investing in the municipal bond market involves the risks of investing in debt securities generally and certain other risks. The amount of public information available about the municipal bonds in which the Fund may invest is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds, and the investment performance of the Fund’s investment in municipal bonds may therefore be more dependent on the analytical abilities of PIMCO than its investments in taxable bonds. The secondary market for municipal bonds particularly below investment grade bonds in which a Fund may invest, also tends to be less well developed or liquid than many other securities markets, which may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to sell municipal bonds at attractive prices or value municipal bonds.
The ability of municipal issuers to make timely payments of interest and principal may be diminished during general economic downturns, by litigation, legislation or political events, or by the bankruptcy of the issuer. Laws, referenda, ordinances or regulations enacted in the future by Congress or state legislatures or the applicable governmental entity could extend the time for payment of principal and/or interest, or impose other constraints on enforcement of such obligations, or on the ability of municipal issuers to levy taxes. Issuers of municipal securities also might seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. In the event of bankruptcy of such an issuer, the Fund could experience delays in collecting principal and interest and the Fund may not, in all circumstances, be able to collect all principal and interest to which it is entitled. To enforce its rights in the event of a default in the payment of interest or repayment of principal, or both, the Fund may take possession of and manage the assets securing the issuer’s obligations on such securities, which may increase the Fund’s operating expenses. Adverse economic, business, legal or political developments might affect all or a substantial portion of the Fund’s municipal bonds in the same manner. The Fund will be particularly subject to these risks to
ANNUAL REPORT |
| | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | 89 |
Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
the extent that it focuses its investments in municipal bonds in a particular state or geographic region. Municipal securities may also have exposure to potential physical risks resulting from climate change, including extreme weather, flooding and fires. Climate risks, if materialized, can adversely impact a municipal issuer’s financial plans in current or future years or may impair a funding source municipal issuer’s revenue bonds. As a result, the impact of climate risks could adversely impact the value of the Fund’s municipal securities investments.
The Fund may invest in trust certificates issued in TOB programs. In these programs, a trust typically issues two classes of certificates and uses the proceeds to purchase municipal securities having relatively long maturities and bearing interest at a fixed interest rate substantially higher than prevailing short-term
tax-exempt
rates. There is a risk that the Fund will not be considered the owner of a TOB for federal income tax purposes, and thus will not be entitled to treat such interest as exempt from federal income tax. Certain TOBs may be less liquid or may become less liquid as a result of, among other things, a credit rating downgrade, a payment default or a disqualification from tax-exempt
status. The Fund’s investment in the securities issued by a TOB trust may involve greater risk and volatility than an investment in a fixed rate bond, and the value of such securities may decrease significantly when market interest rates increase. TOB trusts could be terminated due to market, credit or other events beyond the Fund’s control, which could require the Fund to dispose of portfolio investments at inopportune times and prices. The Fund may use a TOB program as a way of achieving leverage in its portfolio, in which case the Fund will be subject to leverage risk. The use of TOBs will impact the Fund’s duration and cause the Fund to be subject to increased duration and interest rate risk. The Fund may invest in revenue bonds, which are typically issued to fund a wide variety of capital projects including electric, gas, water and sewer systems; highways, bridges and tunnels; port and airport facilities; colleges and universities; and hospitals. Because the principal security for a revenue bond is generally the net revenues derived from a particular facility or group of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise or other specific revenue source or annual revenues, there is no guarantee that the particular project will generate enough revenue to pay its obligations, in which case the Fund’s performance may be adversely affected.
The Fund may invest in taxable municipal bonds, such as Build America Bonds. Build America Bonds are tax credit bonds created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which authorized state and local g
ov
ernments to issue Build America Bonds as taxable bonds in 2009 and 2010, without volume limitations, to finance any capital expenditures for which such issuers could otherwise issue traditional
tax-exempt
bonds. The Fund’s investments in Build America Bonds or similar taxable municipal bonds will result in taxable income and the Fund may elect to pass through to its Common Shareholders the corresponding tax credits. The tax credits can generally be used to offset federal income taxes and the alternative minimum tax, but such credits are generally not refundable. Taxable municipal bonds involve similar risks as tax-exempt
municipal bonds, including credit and market risk. Even if a Fund is eligible to pass through tax credits to Common Shareholders, the Fund may choose not to do so. The Fund may invest in bonds,” to the final maturity of principal, and remain outstanding in the municipal market. The payment of principal and interest of the
pre-refunded
Municipal Bonds. Pre-refunded
Municipal Bonds are tax-exempt
bonds that have been refunded to a call date prior to the final maturity of principal, or, in the case of pre-refunded
Municipal Bonds commonly referred to as “escrowed-to-maturity
pre-refunded
Municipal Bonds held by the Fund is funded from securities in a designated escrow account that holds U.S. Treasury securities or other obligations of the U.S. Government (including its agencies and instrumentalities (“Agency Securities”)). As the payment of principal and interest is generated from securities held in an escrow account established by the municipality and an independent escrow agent, the pledge of the municipality has been fulfilled and the original pledge of revenue by the municipality is no longer in place. Pre-refunded
and/or escrowed to maturity Municipal Bonds may bear an investment grade rating (for example, if re-rated
by a rating service or, if not re-rated,
determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality) because they are backed by U.S. Treasury securities, Agency Securities or other investment grade securities. For the avoidance of any doubt, PIMCO’s determination of an issue’s credit rating will generally be used for compliance with the Fund’s investment parameters when an issue either loses its rating or is not re-rated
upon pre-refunding.
Because the payment of principal and interest is generated from securities held in an escrow account established by the municipality and an independent escrow agent, the pledge of the municipality has been fulfilled and the original pledge of revenue by the municipality is no longer in place. The escrow account securities pledged to pay the principal and interest of the pre-refunded
municipal bond do not guarantee the price movement of the bond before maturity. Issuers of municipal bonds refund in advance of maturity the outstanding higher cost debt and issue new, lower cost debt, placing the proceeds of the lower cost issuance into an escrow account to pre-refund
the older, higher cost debt. Investment in pre-refunded
municipal bonds held by the Fund may subject the Fund to interest rate risk and market risk. In addition, while a secondary market exists for pre-refunded
municipal bonds, if the Fund sells 90 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
pre-refunded
municipal bonds prior to maturity, the price received may be more or less than the original cost, depending on market conditions at the time of sale. The Fund may invest in participations in lease obligations or installment purchase contract obligations of municipal authorities or entities. Although a municipal lease obligation does not constitute a general obligation of the municipality for which the municipality’s taxing power is pledged, a municipal lease obligation is ordinarily backed by the municipality’s covenant to budget for, appropriate and make the payments due under the municipal lease obligation. However, certain municipal lease obligations contain
“non-appropriation”
clauses, which provide that the municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment purchase payments in future years unless money is appropriated for such purpose on a yearly basis. In the case of a “non-appropriation”
lease, the Fund’s ability to recover under the lease in the event of non-appropriation
or default will be limited solely to the repossession of the leased property, without recourse to the general credit of the lessee, and the disposition or re-leasing
of the property might prove difficult. Municipal securities are also subject to interest rate, credit, and liquidity risk.
Interest Rate Risk.
Credit Risk.
This subjects the Fund to credit risk in that the municipal issuer may be fiscally unstable or exposed to large liabilities that could impair its ability to honor its obligations. Municipal issuers with significant debt service requirements, in the
near-to
mid-term;
unrated issuers and those with less capital and liquidity to absorb additional expenses may be most at risk. To the extent the Fund invests in lower quality or high yield municipal securities, it may be more sensitive to the adverse credit events in the municipal market. The treatment of municipalities in bankruptcy is more uncertain, and potentially more adverse to debt holders, than for corporate issues. Liquidity Risk.
can decline unpredictably in response to a variety of factors, including overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity also may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates). Liquidity can be impaired due to interest rate concerns, credit events, or general supply and demand imbalances. Depending on the particular issuer and current economic conditions, municipal securities could be deemed more volatile investments.
In addition to general municipal market risks, different municipal sectors may face different risks. For instance, general obligation bonds are secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the municipality issuing the obligation. As such, timely payment depends on the municipality’s ability to raise tax revenue and maintain a fiscally sound budget. The timely payments may also be influenced by any unfunded pension liabilities or other post- employee benefit plan liabilities.
Revenue bonds are secured by special tax revenues or other revenue sources. If the specified revenues do not materialize, then the bonds may not be repaid.
Private activity bonds are yet another type of municipal security. Municipalities use private activity bonds to finance the development of industrial facilities for use by private enterprise. Principal and interest payments are to be made by the private enterprise benefiting from the development, which means that the holder of the bond is exposed to the risk that the private issuer may default on the bond.
Moral obligation bonds are usually issued by special purpose public entities. If the public entity defaults, repayment becomes a “moral obligation” instead of a legal one. The lack of a legally enforceable right to payment in the event of default poses a special risk for a holder of the bond because it has little or no ability to seek recourse in the event of default.
In addition, a significant restructuring of federal income tax rates, such as the changes to federal income tax rates that occurred in 2017, or even serious discussion on the topic in Congress could cause municipal bond prices to fall. The demand for municipal securities is strongly influenced by the value of
tax-exempt
income to investors relative to taxable income. Lower income tax rates potentially reduce the advantage of owning municipal securities. Similarly, changes to state or federal regulation tied to a specific sector, such as the hospital sector, could have an impact on the revenue stream for a given subset of the market.
Municipal notes are similar to general municipal debt obligations, but they generally possess shorter terms. Municipal notes can be used to

(Cont.) |
provide interim financing and may not be repaid if anticipated revenues are not realized.
Municipal Project-Specific Risk
The Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in the bonds of specific projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), industrial development bonds, or in general obligation bonds, particularly if there is a large concentration from issuers in a single state. This is because the value of municipal securities can be significantly affected by the political, economic, legal, and legislative realities of the particular issuer’s locality or municipal sector events. In addition, a significant restructuring of federal income tax rates or even serious discussion on the topic in Congress could cause municipal bond prices to fall. The demand for municipal securities is strongly influenced by the value of
tax-exempt
income to investors. Lower income tax rates could reduce the advantage of owning municipal securities. Similarly, changes to state or federal regulation tied to a specific sector, such as the hospital sector, could have an impact on the revenue stream for a given subset of the market. Municipal Project Housing-Related Risk
The Fund may invest in the bonds of projects focused on
low-income,
affordable or other housing developments and businesses located in low-income
areas or invest in or originate loans that finance or are generally related to such projects. There are significant risks associated with the Fund’s investment in the bonds of these types of projects and loans related to such projects. There may be federal, state and local governmental regulatory restrictions on the operation, rental and transfer of these projects, such as the requirement that the owners of these affordable housing developments rent or sell certain residential units to persons or families of low or moderate income and that the amount of rent that may be charged for these units may be less than market rates. These restrictions may adversely affect economic performance relative to properties that are not subject to these restrictions. There are also no assurances that a project owner will be able to achieve and maintain sufficient rental income in order to pay all operating expenses and maintenance and repair costs of such a project and the debt service on the related bonds or loan on a timely basis. In the event that a project owner is unable to pay all such costs, expenses and debt service, a default on the related bonds or loan is likely to occur. Moreover, as a result of economic, market and other factors, the risks of the Fund’s investment in such municipal project housing-related securities may be heightened due to the possibility of reduced tax or other revenue available to issuers of municipal project housing-related securities causing an increase of budgetary and financial pressure on either the municipality or other issuers of municipal securities. New York State-Specific Risk
The Fund that invests in municipal bonds issued by or on behalf of the State of New York and its political subdivisions, financing authorities and their agencies may be affected significantly by political, economic or regulatory developments affecting the ability of New York tax exempt issuers to pay interest or repay principal. Certain issuers of New York municipal bonds have experienced serious financial difficulties in the past and reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair the ability of certain New York issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations. Provisions of the New York Constitution and State statutes which limit the taxing and spending authority of New York governmental entities may impair the ability of New York issuers to pay principal and/or interest on their obligations, particularly given large budget deficits that have been identified and may continue. While New York’s economy is broad, it does have major concentrations in certain industries, such as financial services, and may be sensitive to economic problems affecting those industries , and its government revenues tend to rely heavily on certain earners (revenues therefore are likely to be more volatile and to be adversely affected if the number of such earners (or their recognized income within a particular period of time) decreases). Future New York political and economic developments, constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive orders, administrative regulations, litigation and voter initiatives as well as environmental events, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics or social unrest could have an adverse effect on the debt obligations of New York issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations. The economic and financial condition of New York also may be affected by various financial, social, economic, environmental, political and geopolitical factors. The financial health of New York City affects that of the State, and when New York City experiences financial difficulty it may have an adverse effect on New York municipal bonds held by such Fund. The growth rate of New York has at times been somewhat slower than the nation overall.
Operational Risk
An investment in the Fund, like any fund, can involve operational risks arising from factors such as processing errors, human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, failures in systems and technology, changes in personnel and errors caused by third-party service providers. The occurrence of any of these failures, errors or breaches could result in a loss of information, regulatory scrutiny, reputational damage or other events, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund. While the Fund seeks to minimize such events through controls and oversight, there may still be failures that could cause losses to the Fund.
Other Investment Companies Risk
When investing in an investment company, the Fund will generally bear its ratable share of that investment company’s expenses and
92 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
would remain subject to payment of the Fund’s management fees and other expenses with respect to assets so invested. Common Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies. In addition, other investment companies may utilize leverage, in which case an investment would subject the Fund to additional risks associated with leverage. Due to its own financial interest or other business considerations, the Investment Manager may choose to invest a portion of the Fund’s assets in investment companies sponsored or managed by the Investment Manager or its related parties in lieu of investments by the Fund directly in portfolio securities, or may choose to invest in such investment companies over investment companies sponsored or managed by others. Participation in a cash sweep program where the Fund’s uninvested cash balance is used to purchase shares of affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles at the end of each day subjects the Fund to the risks associated with the underlying money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles, including liquidity risk. As a shareholder of a money market fund or cash management pooled investment vehicle, the Fund would indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the underlying fund or account which are in addition to the fees the Fund pays its service providers. Applicable law may limit the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies.
Portfolio Turnover Risk
The Investment Manager manages the Fund without regard generally to restrictions on portfolio turnover. The use of futures contracts and other derivative instruments with relatively short maturities may tend to exaggerate the portfolio turnover rate for the Fund. Trading in fixed income securities does not generally involve the payment of brokerage commissions but does involve indirect transaction costs. The use of futures contracts and other derivative instruments may involve the payment of commissions to futures commission merchants or other intermediaries. Higher portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Fund, including brokerage commissions
or dealer mark-ups and
other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. The higher the rate of portfolio turnover of the Fund, the higher these transaction costs borne by the Fund generally will be. Such sales may result in realization of taxable capital gains (including short-term capital gains, which are generally taxed to shareholders at ordinary income tax rates when distributed net of short-term capital losses and net long-term capital losses) and may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
The realization of short-term capital gains may also cause adverse tax consequences for the Fund’s shareholders. Potential Conflicts of Interest Risk — Allocation of Investment Opportunities
The Investment Manager and its affiliates are involved worldwide with a broad spectrum of financial services and asset management activities and may engage in the ordinary course of business in activities in which their interests or the interests of their clients may conflict with those of the Fund. The Investment Manager may provide investment management services to other funds and discretionary managed accounts that follow an investment program similar to that of the Fund. Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Investment Manager intends to engage in such activities and may receive compensation from third parties for its services. The results of the Fund’s investment activities may differ from those of the Fund’s affiliates, or another account managed by the Investment Manager or its affiliates, and it is possible that the Fund could sustain losses during periods in which one or more of the Fund’s affiliates and/or other accounts managed by the Investment Manager or its affiliates, including proprietary accounts, achieve profits on their trading.
Additional Risks Associated with the Funds’ Preferred Shares
The maximum applicable rate for the RVMTP Share Dividend Rate is based in part on a multiple of or a spread plus a reference rate. An increase in market interest rates generally, therefore, could increase substantially the dividend rate required to be paid by the Funds to the holders of Preferred Shares, which would increase the costs associated with the Funds’ leverage and reduce the Funds’ net income available for distribution to holders of Common Shares. In addition, the multiple or spread used to calculate the maximum applicable rate for the RVMTP Share Dividend Rate is based in part on the credit rating assigned to the RVMTP Shares by the applicable rating agency(ies), with the multiple or spread generally increasing as the rating declines. Accordingly, future ratings downgrades may result in increases to the maximum applicable rate for the RVMTP Share Dividend Rate.
Therefore, it is possible that a substantial rise in market interest rates and/or ratings downgrades of the Preferred Shares could, by reducing income available for distribution to the holders of Common Shares and otherwise detracting from the Funds’ investment performance, make the Funds’ continued use of Preferred Shares for leverage purposes less attractive than such use is currently considered to be. In such case, a Fund may elect to redeem some or all of the Preferred Shares outstanding, which may require it to dispose of investments at inopportune times and to incur losses on such dispositions. Such dispositions may adversely affect the Fund’s investment performance generally, and the resultant loss of leverage may materially and adversely affect the Fund’s investment returns.
The Funds are also subject to certain asset coverage tests associated with the rating agencies that rate the Preferred Shares. Failure by a
ANNUAL REPORT |

Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
Fund to maintain the asset coverages (or to cure such failure in a timely manner) may require the Fund to redeem Preferred Shares and could preclude the Funds from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions to holders of Common Shares. Failure to satisfy ratings agency asset coverage tests or other guidelines could also result in the applicable ratings agency downgrading its then-current ratings on the Preferred Shares, as described above. Moreover, the rating agency guidelines impose restrictions or limitations on the Funds’ use of certain financial instruments or investment techniques that the Funds might otherwise utilize in order to achieve its investment objective, which may adversely affect the Funds’ investment performance. Rating agency guidelines may be modified by the rating agencies in the future and such modifications may make such guidelines substantially more restrictive or otherwise result in downgrades, which could negatively affect the Fund’s investment performance. The ratings agencies that have assigned ratings to a Fund’s Preferred Shares may change their rating methodologies, perhaps substantially. Such a change could adversely affect the ratings assigned to a Fund’s Preferred Shares, the dividend rates paid thereon, and the expenses borne by such Fund’s Common Shareholders.
Privacy and Data Security Risk
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and other laws limit the disclosure of
certain non-public
personal information about a consumer to non-affiliated
third parties and require financial institutions to disclose certain privacy policies and practices with respect to information sharing with both affiliates and non-affiliated
third parties. Many states and a number of non-U.S.
jurisdictions have enacted privacy and data security laws requiring safeguards on the privacy and security of consumers’ personally identifiable information. Other laws deal with obligations to safeguard and dispose of private information in a manner designed to avoid its dissemination. Privacy rules adopted by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and SEC implement the GLBA and other requirements and govern the disclosure of consumer financial information by certain financial institutions, ranging from banks to private investment funds. U.S. platforms following certain models generally are required to have privacy policies that conform to these GLBA and other requirements. In addition, such platforms typically have policies and procedures intended to maintain platform participants’ personal information securely and dispose of it properly. The Fund generally does not intend to obtain or hold
borrowers’ non-public
personal information, and the Fund has implemented procedures reasonably designed to prevent the disclosure of borrowers’ non-public
personal information to the Fund. However, service providers to the Fund or its direct or indirect fully-owned subsidiaries, including their custodians and the platforms acting as loan servicers for the Fund or its direct or indirect fully-owned
subsidiaries, may obtain, hold or process such information. The Fund cannot guarantee the security of non-public personal
information in the possession of such a service provider and cannot guarantee that service providers have been and will continue to comply with the GLBA, other data security and privacy laws and any other related regulatory requirements. Violations of the GLBA and other laws could subject the Fund to litigation and/or fines, penalties or other regulatory action, which, individually or in the aggregate, could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The Fund may also face regulations related to privacy and data security in the other jurisdictions in which the Fund invests. Private Placements and Restricted Securities Risk
A private placement involves the sale of securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 Act (“Securities Act”), or relevant provisions
of applicable non-U.S. law, to
certain institutional and qualified individual purchasers, such as the Fund. In addition to the general risks to which all securities are subject, securities received in a private placement generally are subject to strict restrictions on resale, and there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchaser for such securities. Therefore, the Fund may be unable to dispose of such securities when it desires to do so, or at the most favorable time or price. Private placements may also raise valuation risks. Restricted securities are often purchased at a discount from the market price of unrestricted securities of the same issuer reflecting the fact that such securities may not be readily marketable without some time delay. Such securities are often more difficult to value and the sale of such securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of securities trading on national securities exchanges or in the OTC markets. Until the Fund can sell such securities into the public markets, its holdings may be less liquid and any sales will need to be made pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act.
Puerto Rico-Specific Risk
The Fund that invests in Municipal Bonds issued by Puerto Rico or its instrumentalities may be affected by certain developments, such as political, economic, environmental, social, regulatory or debt restructuring developments that impact the ability or obligation of Puerto Rico municipal issuers to pay interest or repay principal. Certain issuers of Puerto Rico Municipal Bonds have experienced significant financial difficulties and the continuation or reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair their ability to pay principal or interest on their obligations. Provisions of the Puerto Rico Constitution and Commonwealth laws, including a federally-appointed oversight board to oversee the Commonwealth’s financial operations, which limit the taxing and spending authority of Puerto Rico governmental entities
94 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
may impair the ability of Puerto Rico issuers to pay principal and/or interest on their obligations. Puerto Rico’s economy has sizable concentrations in certain industries, such as the manufacturing and service industries, and may be sensitive to economic problems affecting those industries. Future Puerto Rico-related developments, such as political and economic developments, constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive orders, administrative regulations, litigation, debt restructuring, tax base erosion, and voter initiatives as well as environmental events, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics or social unrest could have an adverse effect on the debt obligations of Puerto Rico issuers.
Regulatory Changes Risk
Financial entities, such as investment companies and investment advisers, are generally subject to extensive government regulation and intervention. Government regulation and/or intervention may change the way the Fund is regulated, affect the expenses incurred directly by the Fund and the value of its investments, and limit and /or preclude the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences. The Fund and the Investment Manager have historically been eligible for exemptions from certain regulations. However, there is no assurance that the Fund and the Investment Manager will continue to be eligible for such exemptions.
Moreover, government regulation may have unpredictable and unintended effects. Legislative or regulatory actions to address perceived liquidity or other issues in fixed income markets generally, or in particular markets such as the municipal securities market, may alter or impair the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective or utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.
While there continues to be uncertainty about the full impact of these and other regulatory changes, it is the case that the Fund will be subject to a more complex regulatory framework, and may incur additional costs to comply with new requirements as well as to monitor for compliance in the future. Actions by governmental entities may also impact certain instruments in which the Fund invests and reduce market liquidity and resiliency.
Regulatory Risk — Commodity Pool Operator
The Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and their investment advisers to regulation by the CFTC if the registered investment company invests more than a prescribed level of its liquidation value in futures, options on futures or commodities, swaps, or other financial instruments regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules thereunder (“commodity interests”), or if the Fund markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Investment Manager is registered
with the CFTC as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”). However, with respect to the Fund, the Investment Manager has claimed an exclusion from registration as a CPO pursuant to CFTC Rule 4.5. For the Investment Manager to remain eligible for this exclusion, the Fund must comply with certain limitations, including limits on its ability to use any commodity interests and limits on the manner in which the Fund holds out its use of such commodity interests. These limitations may restrict the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objectives and strategies, increase the costs of implementing its strategies, result in higher expenses for the Fund, and/or adversely affect the Fund’s total return. To the extent the Investment Manager becomes ineligible for this exclusion from CFTC regulation, the Fund may consider steps in order to continue to qualify for exemption from CFTC regulation, or may determine to operate subject to CFTC regulation.
Reinvestment Risk
Income from the Fund’s portfolio will decline if and when the Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called debt obligations at market interest rates that are below the portfolio’s current earnings rate. For instance, during periods of declining interest rates, an issuer of debt obligations may exercise an option to redeem securities prior to maturity, forcing the Fund to invest in lower-yielding securities. The Fund also may choose to sell higher yielding portfolio securities and to purchase lower yielding securities to achieve greater portfolio diversification, because the portfolio managers believe the current holdings are overvalued or for other investment-related reasons. A decline in income received by the Fund from its investments is likely to have a negative effect on dividend levels and the market price, NAV and/or overall return of the Common Shares.
Repurchase Agreements Risk
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, in which the Fund purchases a security from a bank or broker-dealer, which agrees to repurchase the security at the Fund’s cost plus interest within a specified time. Entering into repurchase agreements allows the Fund to earn a return on cash in the Fund’s portfolio that would otherwise remain
un-invested.
Repurchase agreements may involve risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to sell the underlying securities and additional expenses in seeking to enforce the Fund’s rights and recover any losses. The counterparty could default which may make it necessary for the Fund to incur expenses to liquidate the collateral. The security subject to a repurchase agreement may be or become illiquid. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund. In December 2023, the SEC adopted rule amendments that are expected to result in the Fund being required to clear all or substantially all of its repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S.
ANNUAL REPORT |
| | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | 95 |
Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
Treasury securities as of June 30, 2027 where a direct participant in any covered clearing agency is the counterparty. The Fund may incur costs in connection with entering into new agreements (or amending existing agreements) with counterparties who are direct participants of a covered clearing agency and potentially other market participants and taking other actions to comply with the new requirements. In addition, upon the compliance date, the costs and benefits of entering into repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities to the Fund may be impacted as compared to such repurchase agreements prior to the compliance date.
Securities Lending Risk
For the purpose of achieving income, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions provided a number of conditions are satisfied, including that the loan is fully collateralized. When the Fund lends portfolio securities, its investment performance will continue to reflect changes in the value of the securities loaned, and the Fund will also receive a fee or interest on the collateral. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent. The Fund may pay lending fees to a party arranging the loan. Cash collateral received by the Fund in securities lending transactions may be invested in short-term liquid fixed income instruments or in money market or short-term mutual funds, or similar investment vehicles, including affiliated money market or short-term mutual funds. The Fund bears the risk of such investments.
Short Exposure Risk
The Fund’s short sales and short positions, if any, are subject to special risks. A short sale involves the sale by the Fund of a security that it does not own with the hope of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. The Fund may also enter into a short position through a forward commitment or a short derivative position through a futures contract or swap agreement. If the price of the security or derivative has increased during this time, then the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in price from the time that the short sale was entered into plus any transaction costs (i.e., premiums and interest) paid to the broker-dealer to borrow securities. Therefore, short sales involve the risk that losses may be exaggerated, potentially losing more money than the actual cost of the investment. By contrast, a loss on a long position arises from decreases in the value of the security and is limited by the fact that a security’s value cannot decrease below zero.
By investing the proceeds received from selling securities short, the Fund could be deemed to be employing a form of leverage, which creates special risks. The use of leverage may increase the Fund’s exposure to long security positions and make any change in the Fund’s
NAV greater than it would be without the use of leverage. This could result in increased volatility of returns. There is no guarantee that any leveraging strategy the Fund employs will be successful during any period in which it is employed.
In times of unusual or adverse market, economic, regulatory, environmental or political conditions, the Fund may not be able, fully or partially, to implement its short selling strategy. Periods of unusual or adverse market, economic, environmental, regulatory or political conditions generally may exist for long periods of time. In response to market events, the SEC and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may adopt (and in certain cases, have adopted) bans on, and/or reporting requirements for, short sales of certain securities, including short positions on such securities acquired through swaps. Also, there is the risk that the third party to the short sale or short position will not fulfill its contractual obligations, causing a loss to the Fund.
Structured Investments Risk
Holders of structured products, including structured notes, credit-linked notes and other types of structured products, bear the risks of the underlying investments, index or reference obligation and are subject to counterparty risk. The Fund may have the right to receive payments only from the structured product, and generally does not have direct rights against the issuer or the entity that sold the assets to be securitized. While certain structured products enable the investor to acquire interests in a pool of securities without the brokerage and other expenses associated with directly holding the same securities, investors in structured products generally pay their share of the structured product’s administrative and other expenses. Although it is difficult to predict whether the prices of indexes and securities underlying structured products will rise or fall, these prices (and, therefore, the prices of structured products) are generally influenced by the same types of political and economic events that affect issuers of securities and capital markets generally. If the issuer of a structured product uses shorter term financing to purchase longer term securities, the issuer may be forced to sell its securities at below market prices if it experiences difficulty in obtaining such financing, which may adversely affect the value of the structured products owned by the Fund. Structured products generally entail risks associated with derivative instruments.
Tax Risk
The Fund has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and intends each year to qualify and be eligible to be treated as such, so that it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net investment income or net short-term or long-term capital gains, that are timely distributed (or deemed distributed, as described below) to shareholders. In order to qualify and be eligible for such treatment, the Fund must meet certain asset diversification tests,
96 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
(Unaudited) |
derive at least 90% of its gross income for such year from certain types of qualifying income, and distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of the sum of its “investment company taxable income” as that term is defined in the Code (which includes, among other things, dividends, taxable interest and the excess of any net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses, as reduced by certain deductible expenses) and net
tax-exempt
income, for such year. The Fund’s investment strategy will potentially be limited by its intention to continue qualifying for treatment as a RIC, and can limit the Fund’s ability to continue qualifying as such. The tax treatment of certain of the Fund’s investments under one or more of the qualification or distribution tests applicable to RICs is uncertain. An adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS or a change in law might affect the Fund’s ability to qualify or be eligible for treatment as a RIC. Income and gains from certain of the Fund’s activities may not constitute qualifying income to a RIC for purposes of the 90% gross income test. If the Fund were to treat income or gain from a particular investment or activity as qualifying income and the income or gain were later determined not to constitute qualifying income and, together with any other nonqualifying income, caused the Fund’s nonqualifying income to exceed 10% of its gross income in any taxable year, the Fund would fail to qualify as a RIC unless it is eligible to and does pay a tax at the Fund level.
If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for treatment as a RIC under the Code and were ineligible to or did not otherwise cure such failure, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates and, when such income is distributed, shareholders would be subject to further tax on such distributions to the extent of the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits.
To qualify to pay exempt-interest dividends, at least 50% of the value of the total assets of a Fund must consist of obligations exempt from federal income tax as of the close of each quarter of the Fund’s taxable year. Fund distributions reported as exempt-interest dividends are not generally taxable to Fund shareholders for regular U.S. federal income tax purposes, but they may be subject to state and local taxes and/or federal alternative minimum tax. If the proportion of taxable investments held by a Fund exceeds 50% of the Fund’s total assets as of the close of any quarter of the Fund’s taxable year, the Fund will not for that taxable year satisfy the general eligibility test that otherwise permits it to pay exempt-interest dividends.
The value of a Fund’s investments and its NAV may be adversely affected by changes in tax rates and policies. Because interest income from municipal securities is normally not subject to regular federal income taxation, the attractiveness of municipal securities in relation to other investment alternatives is affected by changes in federal
income tax rates or changes in the
tax-exempt
status of interest income from municipal securities. Any proposed or actual changes in such rates or exempt status, therefore, can significantly affect the demand for and supply, liquidity and marketability of municipal securities. This could in turn affect a Fund’s NAV and ability to acquire and dispose of municipal securities at desirable yield and price levels. Additionally, no Fund is a suitable investment for individual retirement accounts, for other tax-exempt
or tax-deferred
accounts or for investors who are not sensitive to the federal income tax consequences of their investments. U.S. Government Securities Risk
Certain U.S. government securities such as U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds and mortgage-related securities guaranteed by the GNMA, are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States; others, such as those of Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury; others, such as those of the FNMA, are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase the agency’s obligations; and still others are supported only by the credit of the agency, instrumentality or corporation. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Although legislation has been enacted to support certain government sponsored entities, including the FHLBs, FHLMC and FNMA, there is no assurance that the obligations of such entities will be satisfied in full, or that such obligations will not decrease in value or default. It is difficult, if not impossible, to predict the future political, regulatory or economic changes that could impact the government sponsored entities and the values of their related securities or obligations. In addition, certain governmental entities, including FNMA and FHLMC, have been subject to regulatory scrutiny regarding their accounting policies and practices and other concerns that may result in legislation, changes in regulatory oversight and/or other consequences that could adversely affect the credit quality, availability or investment character of securities issued by these entities. Yields available from U.S. government debt securities are generally lower than the yields available from such other securities. The values of U.S. government securities change as interest rates fluctuate.
Periodically, uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. government to increase the statutory debt ceiling could increase the risk that the U.S. government may default on payments on certain U.S. government securities, cause the credit rating of the U.S. government to be downgraded, increase volatility in the stock and bond markets, result in higher interest rates, reduce prices of U.S. Treasury and other securities, and/or increase the costs of various kinds of debt. If a government-sponsored entity is negatively impacted by legislative or regulatory action (or lack thereof), is unable to meet

Principal Risks of the Funds |
(Cont.) |
(Unaudited) |
its obligations, or its creditworthiness declines, the performance of a fund that holds securities of the entity will be adversely impacted.
Valuation Risk
Certain securities in which the Fund invests may be less liquid and more difficult to value than other types of securities. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule
2a-5
under the 1940 Act. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security or other asset. As a result, there can be no assurance that fair value pricing will result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets or that fair value pricing will reflect actual market value, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security or other asset will be materially different from quoted or published prices, from the prices used by others for the same security or other asset and/or from the value that actually could be or is realized upon the sale of that security or other asset. Zero-Coupon Bond, Securities Risk
Step-Ups
and Payment-In-Kind
The market prices of securities are generally more volatile than the prices of securities that pay interest periodically and in cash and are likely to respond to changes in interest rates to a greater degree than other types of debt securities with similar maturities and credit quality. Because zero-coupon securities bear no interest, their prices are especially volatile and because zero-coupon bondholders do not receive interest payments, the prices of zero-coupon securities generally fall more dramatically than those of bonds that pay interest on a current basis when interest rates rise. The market for zero-coupon and payment-in-kind securities may suffer decreased liquidity. In addition, as these securities may not pay cash interest, the Fund’s investment exposure to these securities and their risks, including credit risk, will increase during the time these securities are held in the Fund’s portfolio. Further, to maintain its qualification for treatment as a RIC and to avoid Fund-level U.S. federal income and/or excise taxes, the Fund is required to distribute to its shareholders any income it is deemed to have received in respect of such investments, notwithstanding that cash has not been received currently, and the value of paid-in-kind interest. Consequently, the Fund may have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to generate the cash or may have to leverage itself by borrowing the cash to satisfy this distribution requirement. The required distributions, if any, would result in an increase in the Fund’s exposure to these securities. Zero coupon bonds, step-ups and payment-in-kind securities allow an issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater credit risk than bonds that pay interest currently or in cash. The Fund would be required to distribute the income on these instruments as it accrues, even though
zero-coupon,
step-ups
and payment-in-kind
the Fund will not receive the income on a current basis or in cash. Thus, the Fund may sell other investments, including when it may not be advisable to do so, to make income distributions to its shareholders.
Use of Derivatives
A Fund may use derivative instruments for other purposes, including to
see
k to increase liquidity, prov
ide efficient portfolio management, broaden investment opportunities (including taking short or negative positions), implement a tax or cash management strategy, gain exposure to a particular security or segment of the market, modify the effective duration of the Fund’s portfolio investments and/or enhance total return. 98 |
PIMCO CLOSED-END FUNDS |
Risk Management Strategies 2 |
(Unaudited) |
A Fund may (but is not required to) use various investment strategies to attempt to hedge exposure to reduce the risk of price fluctuations of its portfolio securities, the risk of loss, and to preserve capital. Derivatives strategies and instruments that a Fund may use include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements; interest rate swaps; total return swaps; credit default swaps; basis swaps; other types of swap agreements or options thereon; dollar rolls/buybacks; futures and forward contracts (including foreign currency exchange contracts); short sales; options on financial futures; options based on either an index of municipal securities or taxable debt securities whose prices, PIMCO believes, correlate with the prices of the Fund’s investments; other derivative transactions; loans of portfolio securities and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions. Income earned by a Fund from its hedging and related transactions may be subject to one or more special U.S. federal income tax rules that can affect the amount, timing and/or character of distributions to holders of the Fund’s Common Shares. For instance, many hedging activities will be treated as capital gain and, if not offset by net realized capital loss, will be distributed to shareholders in taxable distributions. If effectively used, hedging strategies will offset in varying percentages losses incurred on a Fund’s investments due to adverse interest rate changes. There is no assurance that these hedging strategies will be available at any time or that PIMCO will determine to use them for a Fund or, if used, that the strategies will be successful. PIMCO may determine not to engage in hedging strategies or to do so only in unusual circumstances or market conditions. In addition, a Fund may be subject to certain restrictions on its use of hedging strategies imposed by guidelines of one or more ratings agencies that may issue ratings on any preferred shares issued by the Fund.
A Fund may take certain actions if short-term interest rates increase, or market conditions otherwise change (or the Fund anticipates such an increase or change) and the Fund’s leverage begins (or is expected) to adversely affect holders of its Common Shares. In order to attempt to offset such a negative impact of leverage on holders of Common Shares, a Fund may shorten the average maturity or duration of its investment portfolio (by investing in short-term, high quality securities or implementing certain hedging strategies). Should a Fund issue preferred shares, the Fund also may attempt to reduce leverage by redeeming or otherwise purchasing preferred shares or by reducing any holdings in other instruments that create leverage. The success of any such attempt to limit leverage risk depends on PIMCO’s ability to accurately predict interest rate or other market changes. Because of the difficulty of making such predictions, a Fund may not be successful in managing its interest rate exposure in the manner described above.
In addition, each Fund has adopted certain investment limitations designed to limit investment risk. See the “Fundamental Investment Restrictions” section for a description of these limitations.

For purposes of this section, “majority of the outstanding,” when used with respect to particular shares of a Fund (whether voting together as a single class or voting as separate classes), has the meaning set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II (PML)
Unless otherwise indicated, the investment restrictions set forth below are each a fundamental policy of the Fund that may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares and any outstanding preferred shares of beneficial interest (including Preferred Shares) voting together as a single class, and of the holders of a majority of any outstanding preferred shares of beneficial interest (including Preferred Shares) voting as a separate class. The Fund may not
(1) |
Concentrate its investments in a particular “industry,” as that term is used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and as interpreted, modified, or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time. |
(2) |
With respect to 75% of the Fund’s total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer, except securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities issued by other investment companies, if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (ii) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. For the purpose of this restriction, each state and each separate political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such state, each multi-state agency or authority, and each obligor, if any, is treated as a separate issuer of municipal bonds. |
(3) |
Purchase or sell real estate, although it may purchase securities (including municipal bonds) secured by real estate or interests therein, or securities issued by companies which invest in real estate, or interests therein. |
(4) |
Purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts or oil, gas or mineral programs. This restriction shall not prohibit the Fund (as described in the “Portfolio Contents” section above) from purchasing, selling or entering into futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward contracts, or any interest rate, securities-related or other hedging instrument, including swap agreements and other derivative instruments, subject to compliance with any applicable provisions of the federal securities or commodities laws. |

(7) |
Act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers, except to the extent that in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, it may be deemed to be an underwriter under the federal securities laws. |
(8) |
Make an investment if, at the time of such investment, the Fund has invested less than 80% of its “assets” (as that term is defined in Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) in investments the income from which is, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of other authority believed by the Fund’s portfolio manager to be reliable), exempt from federal income tax (not including, for these purposes, the federal alternative minimum tax). Amendments to Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 adopted in September 2023 modify the circumstances under which a fund may deviate from its 80% investment policy and address the calculation methodology of derivatives instruments for purposes of Rule 35d-1. Accordingly, changes to the Fund’s calculation methodology for derivatives instruments for purposes of Rule 35d-1 consistent with such amendments and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof will not constitute a change to the Fund’s policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 and will not require notice or shareholder approval. |

(6) |
Act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers, except to the extent that in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, it may be deemed to be an underwriter under the federal securities laws. |
In addition, with respect to 75% of the Fund’s total assets, the Fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer, except securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities issued by other investment companies, if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (ii) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. For the purpose of this restriction, each state and each separate political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such state, each multi-state agency or authority, and each obligor, if any, is treated as a separate issuer of municipal bonds.
With respect to the Fund’s policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds, for the avoidance of doubt, the Fund complies with the requirements of Rule
35d-1
and invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal bonds which pay interest that, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of authority believed by PIMCO to be reliable), is exempt from regular federal income tax and California state income taxes. For purposes of this policy, the Fund may count investments that generate income subject to the alternative minimum tax toward the 80% investment requirement. The Fund will not change this policy without the shareholder approval required by Rule 35d-1.
Amendments to Rule 35d-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 adopted in September 2023 modify the circumstances under which a fund may deviate from its 80% investment policy and address the calculation methodology of derivatives instruments for purposes of Rule
35d-1.
Accordingly, changes to the Fund’s calculation methodology for derivatives instruments for purposes of Rule 35d-1
consistent with such amendments and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof will not constitute a change to the Fund’s policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1
and will not require notice or shareholder approval. PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II (PNI)
Unless otherwise indicated, the investment restrictions set forth below are each a fundamental policy of the Fund that may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares and any outstanding preferred shares of beneficial interest (including Preferred Shares) voting together as a single class, and of the holders of a majority of any outstanding preferred shares of beneficial interest (including Preferred Shares) voting as a separate class. The Fund may not:
(1) |
Concentrate its investments in a particular “industry,” as that term is used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and as interpreted, modified, or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time. |
(2) |
Purchase or sell real estate, although it may purchase securities (including municipal bonds) secured by real estate or interests therein, or securities issued by companies which invest in real estate, or interests therein. |
(3) |
Purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts or oil, gas or mineral programs. This restriction shall not prohibit the Fund (as described in the “Portfolio Contents” section above) from purchasing, selling or entering into futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward contracts, or any interest rate, securities-related or other hedging instrument, including swap agreements and other derivative instruments, subject to compliance with any applicable provisions of the federal securities or commodities laws. |
(4) |
Borrow money or issue any senior security, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and as interpreted, modified, or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time. |
(5) |
Make loans, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and as interpreted, modified, or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time. |
(6) |
Act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers, except to the extent that in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, it may be deemed to be an underwriter under the federal securities laws. |

Fundamental Investment Restrictions |
(Cont.) |
(Unaudited) |
As a fundamental policy, with respect to 75% of the Fund’s total assets, the Fund may also not purchase the securities of any issuer, except securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities issued by other investment companies, if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (ii) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. For the purpose of this restriction, each state and each separate political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such state, each multi-state agency or authority, and each obligor, if any, is treated as a separate issuer of municipal bonds.
In addition, as a fundamental policy, the Fund must, under normal circumstances, invest at least 80% of its Assets (as that term is defined in Rule
35d-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), measured at the time of investment, in investments the income from which is, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of other authority believed by the Fund’s portfolio manager to be reliable), exempt from federal and New York state income taxes. For purposes of this policy, the Fund may count investments that generate income subject to the alternative minimum tax toward the 80% investment requirement. Amendments to Rule 35d-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 adopted in September 2023 modify the circumstances under which a fund may deviate from its 80% investment policy and address the calculation methodology of derivatives instruments for purposes of Rule 35d-1.
Accordingly, changes to the Fund’s calculation methodology for derivatives instruments for purposes of Rule 35d-1
consistent with such amendments and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof will not constitute a change to the Fund’s policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1
and will not require notice or shareholder approval. 102 |

Other Information |
(Unaudited) |
Unless otherwise indicated, all limitations applicable to each Fund’s investments (as stated in this or other sections) apply only at the time a transaction is entered into. For example, any subsequent change in a rating assigned by any rating service to a security (or, if unrated, deemed by PIMCO to be of comparable quality), or change in the percentage of a Fund’s assets invested in certain securities or other instruments, or change in the average maturity or duration of a Fund’s investment portfolio, resulting from market fluctuations or other changes in a Fund’s total assets will not require the Fund to dispose of an investment.
From time to time, a Fund may voluntarily participate in actions (for example, rights offerings, conversion privileges, exchange offers, credit event settlements, etc.) including, but not limited to, where the issuer or counterparty offers securities or instruments to holders or counterparties, such as the Fund, and the acquisition is determined to be beneficial to Fund shareholders (“Voluntary Action”). Notwithstanding any percentage investment limitation listed under this “Fundamental Investment Restrictions” section or any percentage investment limitation of the 1940 Act or rules thereunder, if a Fund has the opportunity to acquire a permitted security or instrument through a Voluntary Action, and the Fund will exceed a percentage investment limitation following the acquisition, it will not constitute a violation if, prior to the receipt of the securities or instruments and after announcement of the offering, the Fund sells an offsetting amount of assets that are subject to the investment limitation in question at a price at least equal to the value of the securities or instruments to be acquired.
Unless otherwise indicated, all percentage limitations on Fund investments (as stated herein) that are not: (i) specifically included in this “Fundamental Investment Restrictions” section; or (ii) imposed by the 1940 Act, rules thereunder, the Code or related regulations (the “Elective Investment Restrictions”), will apply only at the time of investment unless the acquisition is a Voluntary Action. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise stated, all percentage limitations on Fund investments that are (i) specifically included in this “Fundamental Investment Restrictions” section; or (ii) Elective Investment Restrictions, will apply at the time of investment. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this policy, certain
Non-Fundamental
Investment Restrictions, as noted above, are also considered Elective Investment Restrictions. The percentage limitations and absolute prohibitions with respect to Elective Investment Restrictions are not applicable to the Fund’s acquisition of securities or instruments through a Voluntary Action. Certain percentage limitations or absolute prohibitions stated in certain Elective Investment Restrictions by their terms apply only with respect to specific securities or instruments as opposed to asset classes or economic exposures represented by such securities or instruments; for purposes of applying such limitations or prohibitions, a Fund may not count investments in derivatives or other instruments that are not the specific securities or instruments limited or prohibited by the express terms of the Elective Investment Restriction. In such cases, a Fund may obtain greater economic exposure to asset classes represented by such specific securities or instruments because such exposure is not restricted by the express terms of the Elective Investment Restriction.
A Fund may engage in roll-timing strategies where the Fund seeks to extend the expiration or maturity of a position, such as a forward contract, futures contract or transaction, on an underlying asset by closing out the position before expiration and contemporaneously opening a new position with respect to the same underlying asset that has substantially similar terms except for a later expiration date. Such “rolls” enable a Fund to maintain continuous investment exposure to an underlying asset beyond the expiration of the initial position without delivery of the underlying asset. Similarly, as certain standardized swap agreements transition from OTC trading to mandatory exchange-trading and clearing due to the implementation of Dodd-Frank Act regulatory requirements, a Fund may “roll” an existing OTC swap agreement by closing out the position before expiration and contemporaneously entering into a new exchange-traded and cleared swap agreement on the same underlying asset with substantially similar terms except for a later expiration date. These types of new positions opened contemporaneous with the closing of an existing position on the same underlying asset with substantially similar terms are collectively referred to as “Roll Transactions.” Elective Investment Restrictions (defined in the preceding paragraph), which normally apply at the time of investment, do not apply to Roll Transactions (although Elective Investment Restrictions will apply to the Fund’s entry into the initial position). In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this policy, those
to-be-announced
Non-Fundamental
Investment Restrictions that are considered Elective Investment Restrictions for purposes of the policy on Voluntary Actions (described in the preceding paragraph) are also Elective Investment Restrictions for purposes of this policy on Roll Transactions. The Fund will test for compliance with Elective Investment Restrictions at the time of the Fund’s initial entry into a position, but the percentage limitations and absolute prohibitions set forth in the Elective Investment Restrictions are not applicable to the Fund’s subsequent acquisition of securities or instruments through a Roll Transaction. PIMCO employs and/or relies on algorithms, models or other systems in connection with many of its investment activities, including research, forecasting, selection, optimization, order routing, execution, and allocation processes (together, “Systems”). These Systems, which may be employed together and operate without human intervention,
ANNUAL REPORT |
| | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | 103 |
Other Information |
(Cont.) |
rely heavily on the use of proprietary and nonproprietary data, software, hardware, and intellectual property, including data, software and hardware that may be licensed or otherwise obtained from third parties. The use of such Systems has inherent limitations and risks. Although PIMCO seeks to develop and use Systems appropriately and effectively, there can be no assurance that it will successfully do so. The Systems are extremely complex and may involve the use of financial, economic, econometric and statistical theories, research and modeling and related translation into computer code. Errors may occur in the design, writing, testing, monitoring, and/or implementation of Systems, including in the manner in which Systems function together. The effectiveness of Systems may diminish over time, including as a result of market changes and changes in the behavior of market participants. The quality of the resulting analysis, investment selections, portfolio construction, asset allocations, proposed trades, risk management, allocations of investment opportunities and trading strategies depends on a number of factors including the accuracy and quality of data inputs into the Systems, including through automated and manual integration of completed transactions, the mathematical and analytical assumptions and underpinnings of the Systems’ coding, the accuracy in translating those analytics into program code or interpreting the output of a System by another System in order to facilitate a transaction, change in market conditions, the successful integration of the various Systems into the portfolio selection and trading process and whether actual market events correspond to one or more assumptions underlying the Systems. Accordingly, Systems are subject to errors and/or mistakes (“System Incidents”) that may adversely impact the Fund.
PIMCO relies on quantitative models, data, and trading algorithms supplied by third parties for certain funds. Such models, data and algorithms are used to construct sets of transactions and investments, to implement investment decisions, and to provide risk management insights. When the third-party models, data or algorithms prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions or investments made in reliance thereon expose applicable funds to additional risks. For these reasons, and subject to PIMCO satisfying its standard of care, PIMCO generally will not compensate applicable funds for any losses associated with third-party models, data, or algorithms, and applicable funds will bear all such losses. PIMCO, subject to satisfying its standard of care, generally does not expect to disclose certain such events to applicable funds.
The Systems rely heavily on appropriate data inputs, and it is impossible and impracticable to factor all relevant, available data into the Systems. PIMCO will use its discretion to determine what data to gather and what subset of data the Systems utilize. PIMCO has full discretion to select the data it utilizes and may elect to use or may refrain from using any specific data or type of data in the Systems. The
data used in the development of use of Systems may not be the most accurate data available or free of errors. Most Systems require continual monitoring and enhancements, and there is no guarantee that such monitoring and enhancements will be successful or that Systems will operate as intended. PIMCO has adopted policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to prevent, detect, escalate and remediate System Incidents. PIMCO will address System Incidents in accordance with this policy but there is no guarantee that measures taken to address a System Incident will be successful.
PIMCO has policies and procedures that address identification and correction of errors that may occur in connection with PIMCO’s management of the Fund and other client accounts (“Trade Errors”). PIMCO generally does not classify System Incidents to be Trade Errors and applicable funds generally will bear all losses associated with System Incidents, subject to PIMCO satisfying its standard of care. Further, PIMCO generally does not expect to disclose System Incidents to the Fund.
Where applicable, PIMCO considers relevant Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) factors in its investment research process with the goal of enhancing risk-adjusted returns. Integrating relevant factors into the evaluation process does not mean that ESG related information is the sole or primary consideration for an investment decision. PIMCO’s portfolio managers and analyst teams consider a variety of factors including the materiality of those factors to make investment decisions. Where material, ESG factors can be important considerations when evaluating long-term investment opportunities and risks for asset classes, where applicable. The materiality of ESG considerations to investment decisions typically varies across asset classes, strategies, products and valuations.

Effects of Leverage 2 |
(Unaudited) |
The following table is furnished in response to requirements of the SEC. It is desi
gne
d to illustrate the effects of leverage through the use of senior securities, as that term is defined under Section 18 of the 1940 Act, on Common Share total return, assuming investment portfolio total returns (consisting of income and changes in the value of investments held in a Fund’s portfolio) of -10%, -5%, 0%, 5% and 10%. The table below reflects each Fund’s continued use of Preferred Shares and TOBs, as applicable averaged over the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 as a percentage of total average managed assets (including assets attributable to such leverage), the estimated annual effective interest expense rate payable by the Fund on such instruments (based on market conditions as of December 31, 2025, and the annual return that the Fund’s portfolio must experience (net of expenses) in order to cover such costs of the reverse repurchase agreements based on such estimated annual effective interest expense rate. The information below does not reflect any Fund’s use of certain other forms of economic leverage achieved through the use of other instruments or transactions not considered to be senior securities under the 1940 Act, such as covered credit default swaps or other derivative instruments.

Common Share total return is composed of two elements—the Common Share dividends paid by a Fund (the amount of which is largely determined by the net investment income of the Fund after paying dividends on Preferred Shares and expenses on any forms of leverage outstanding, including TOBs) and gains or losses on the value of the securities and other instruments the Fund owns. As required by SEC rules, the table assumes that a Fund is more likely to suffer capital losses than to enjoy capital appreciation. For example, to assume a portfolio total return of 0%, the Fund must assume that the income it receives on its investments is entirely offset by losses in the value of those investments. This table reflects hypothetical performance of each Fund’s portfolio and not the actual performance of the Fund’s Common
Shares, the value of which is deter
mined
by market forces and other factors. Should a Fund elect to add additional leverage to its portfolio following an offering, any benefits of such additional leverage cannot be fully achieved until the proceeds resulting from the use of such leverage have been received by the Fund and invested in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. As noted above, each Fund’s willingness to use additional leverage, and the extent to which leverage is used at any time, will depend on many factors, including, among other things, PIMCO’s assessment of the yield curve environment, interest rate trends, market conditions and other factors.

Privacy Policy 1 |
(Unaudited) |
The Funds
2
consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ non-public
personal information. The Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served. OBTAINING
NON-PUBLIC
PERSONAL INFORMATION In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers or
sub-advisers
(“Advisers”), may obtain non-public
personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial professional or consultant, and/or from information captured on applicable websites. RESPECTING YOUR PRIVACY
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any
non-public
personal information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated
third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated
companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. The Funds or their affiliates may also retain non-affiliated
companies to market Fund shares or products which use Fund shares and enter into joint marketing arrangements with them and other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm and/or financial professional or consultant. SHARING INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal or account information to
non-affiliated
third parties in limited circumstances where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property, or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has invested. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder or a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated
third party at the shareholder’s request or with the consent of the shareholder. SHARING INFORMATION WITH AFFILIATES
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing shareholders’ accounts, and subject to applicable law may provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, distributors or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds may share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), information about the Funds’ experiences or transactions with a shareholder, information captured on applicable websites, or other data about a shareholder’s accounts, subject to applicable law. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with
non-affiliated
entities, except as required or permitted by law. PROCEDURES TO SAFEGUARD PRIVATE INFORMATION
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder
non-public
personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public
personal information to internal personnel who need to know that information to perform their jobs, such as servicing shareholder accounts or notifying shareholders of new products or services. Physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place to guard a shareholder’s non-public
personal information. INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM WEBSITES
The Funds or their service providers and partners may collect information from shareholders via websites they maintain. The information collected via websites maintained by the Funds or their service providers includes client
non-public
personal information. CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY
From time to time, the Funds may update or revise this privacy policy. If there are changes to the terms of this privacy policy, documents containing the revised policy on the relevant website will be updated.

Amended as of June 25, 2020. 2
When distributing this Policy, a Fund may combine the distribution with any similar distribution of its investment adviser’s privacy policy. The distributed, combined, policy may be written in the first person (i.e. by using “we” instead of “the Funds”). ANNUAL REPORT |

(e) Pre-approval policies and procedures
(1) The Registrant’s Audit Oversight Committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures (the “Procedures”) to govern the Audit Oversight Committee’s pre-approval of (i) all audit services and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Registrant by its independent accountant, and (ii) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by such independent accountant to the Registrant’s investment adviser and to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant (collectively, the “Service Affiliates”) if the services provided directly relate to the Registrant’s operations and financial reporting. In accordance with the Procedures, the Audit Oversight Committee is responsible for the engagement of the independent accountant to certify the Registrant’s financial statements for each fiscal year. With respect to the pre-approval of non-audit services provided to the Registrant and its Service Affiliates, the Procedures provide that the Audit Oversight Committee may annually pre-approve a list of types or categories of non-audit services that may be provided to the Registrant or its Service Affiliates, or the Audit Oversight Committee may pre-approve such services on a project-by-project basis as they arise. Unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Oversight Committee if it is to be provided by the independent accountant. The Procedures also permit the Audit Oversight Committee to delegate authority to one or more of its members to pre-approve any proposed non-audit services that have not been previously pre-approved by the Audit Oversight Committee, subject to the ratification by the full Audit Oversight Committee no later than its next scheduled meeting.
(2) With respect to the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item 4, no amount was approved by the Audit Oversight Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

| Item 12. | Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies. |
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Advisers Act. The Fund has adopted the Proxy Policy of PIMCO when voting proxies on its behalf.
Policy Statement: The Proxy Policy is intended to foster PIMCO’s compliance with its fiduciary obligations and applicable law. The Proxy Policy applies to any voting or consent rights with respect to securities held in accounts over which PIMCO has discretionary voting authority. The Proxy Policy is designed in a manner reasonably expected to ensure that voting and consent rights are exercised in the best interests of PIMCO’s clients.
Overview: Proxies generally describe corporate action-consent rights (relative to fixed income securities) and proxy voting ballots (relative to fixed income or equity securities) as determined by the issuer or custodian. As a general matter, when PIMCO has proxy voting authority, PIMCO has a fiduciary obligation to monitor corporate events and to take appropriate action on client proxies that come to its attention. Each proxy is voted on a case-by-case basis, taking into account relevant facts and circumstances. When considering client proxies,1 PIMCO may determine not to vote a proxy in limited circumstances.
Equity Securities.2 PIMCO has retained an Industry Service Provider (“ISP”)3 to provide research and voting recommendations for proxies relating to Equity Securities in accordance with the ISP’s guidelines. By following the guidelines of an ISP, PIMCO seeks to mitigate potential conflicts of interest PIMCO may have with respect to proxies covered by the ISP.
PIMCO will follow the recommendations of the ISP unless: (i) the ISP does not provide a voting recommendation; or (ii) a portfolio manager or analyst decides to override the ISP’s voting recommendation. In either such case as described above, the Legal and Compliance department will review the proxy to determine whether a material conflict of interest, or the appearance of one, exists. When the ISP does not provide a voting recommendation, the relevant portfolio manager or analyst will make a determination regarding how, or if, the proxy will be voted by completing required documentation.
Fixed Income Securities. Fixed income securities can be processed as proxy ballots or corporate action-consents4 at the discretion of the issuer/ custodian.
When processed as proxy ballots, the ISP generally does not provide a voting recommendation and its role is limited to election processing and recordkeeping. In such instances, any elections would follow the standard process discussed above for Equity Securities.
When processed as corporate action-consents, the Legal and Compliance department will review election forms to determine a material conflict of interest, or the appearance of one, exists with respect to the PM’s consent election. PIMCO’s Credit Research and Portfolio Management Groups are responsible for issuing recommendations on how to vote proxy ballots and corporation action-consents with respect to fixed income securities.
Resolution of potential/identified conflicts of interest. The Proxy Policy permits PIMCO to seek to resolve material conflicts of interest by pursuing any one of several courses of action. With respect to material conflicts of interest between PIMCO and a client account, the Proxy Policy permits PIMCO to either: (i) convene a working group to assess and resolve the conflict (the “Proxy Working Group”); or (ii) vote in accordance with protocols previously established by the Proxy Policy, the Proxy Working Group and/or other relevant procedures approved by PIMCO’s Legal and Compliance department or PIMCO’s Conflict Committee with respect to specific types of conflicts.
PIMCO will supervise and periodically review its proxy voting activities and the implementation of the Proxy Policy. PIMCO’s Proxy Policy, and information about how PIMCO voted a client’s proxies, is available upon request.
ISP Oversight. Consistent with its fiduciary obligations, PIMCO will perform periodic due diligence and oversight of an ISP engaged to provide PIMCO with proxy voting research and recommendations.5 PIMCO’s due diligence and oversight process includes, but is not limited to, the evaluation of: the ISP’s operational processes and ability to provide proxy voting research and recommendations including the adequacy and quality of the ISP’s operational infrastructure as it relates to its process for seeking timely input from issuers and its voting methodologies and the ISP’s compliance program.
Sub-Adviser Engagement: As an investment manager, PIMCO may exercise its discretion to engage a Sub-Adviser to provide portfolio management services to certain funds. Consistent with its management responsibilities, a Sub-Adviser may assume the authority for voting proxies on behalf of PIMCO for these Funds. Sub-Advisers may utilize third parties to perform certain services related to their portfolio management responsibilities. As a fiduciary, where a Sub-Adviser exercises voting authority, PIMCO will maintain oversight of the investment management responsibilities (which may include proxy voting) performed by the Sub-Adviser and contracted third parties.
1Proxies generally describe corporate action consent rights (relative to fixed income securities) and proxy voting ballots (relative to fixed income or equity securities) as determined by the issuer or custodian.
2 The term “Equity Securities” means common and preferred stock, including common and preferred shares issued by investment companies; it does not include debt securities convertible into equity securities.
3 The ISP for Equity Securities proxy voting is Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), Inc., 1177 Avenue of the Americas 2nd Floor, New York NY 10036.
4 Voting or consent rights shall not include matters which are primarily decisions to buy or sell investments, such as tender offers, exchange offers, conversions, put options, redemptions, and Dutch auctions.
5 This includes the adequacy and quality of the ISP’s operational infrastructure as it relates to its process for seeking timely input from issuers and its voting methodologies.
| Item 13. | Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies. |
(a)(1)
As of March 5, 2026, the following individuals have primary responsibility for the day-to-day management of the PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”):
David Hammer
Mr. Hammer has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since August 2015. Mr. Hammer is a Managing Director and municipal bond portfolio manager in the Newport Beach office. He rejoined PIMCO in 2015 from Morgan Stanley, where he was managing director and head of municipal trading, risk management and research. Previously at PIMCO, he was a senior vice president and municipal bond portfolio manager, and prior to joining PIMCO in 2012, he was an executive director and head of the high yield and distressed municipal bond trading group at Morgan Stanley.
Kyle Christine
Mr. Christine has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since June 2023. Mr. Christine is a senior vice president and municipal bond portfolio manager in the Newport Beach office. He has previously served as a rotating member of PIMCO’s Americas portfolio committee. Prior to joining PIMCO in 2017, he was an institutional high yield and taxable municipal bond trader at Morgan Stanley.
(a)(2)
The following summarizes information regarding each of the accounts, excluding the Fund, managed by the Portfolio Managers as of December 31, 2025, including accounts managed by a team, committee, or other group that includes the Portfolio Managers. Unless mentioned otherwise, the advisory fee charged for managing each of the accounts listed below is not based on performance.

1 Of these Other Pooled Investment Vehicles, 4 account(s) totaling $1,054.84 million in assets pay(s) an advisory fee that is based in part on the performance of the accounts.
From time to time, potential and actual conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio manager’s management of the investments of the Fund, on the one hand, and the management of other accounts, on the other. Potential and actual conflicts of interest may also arise as a result of PIMCO’s other business activities and PIMCO’s possession of material non-public information (“MNPI”) about an issuer. Other accounts managed by a portfolio manager might have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Fund, track the same index as the Fund tracks or otherwise hold, purchase, or sell securities that are eligible to be held, purchased or sold by the Fund. The other accounts might also have different investment objectives or strategies than the Fund. Investors should be aware that investments made by the Fund and the results achieved by the Fund at any given time, including for the same or similar instruments, are not expected to be the same as those made by other funds for which PIMCO acts as investment adviser, including funds with names, investment objectives and policies, and/or portfolio management teams, similar to the Fund. This may be attributable to a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the use of a different strategy or portfolio management team, the execution venue(s) used for a given strategy or fund, when a particular fund commenced operations or the size of a particular fund, in each case as compared to other similar funds. Potential and actual conflicts of interest may also arise as a result of PIMCO serving as investment adviser to accounts that invest in the Fund or to accounts in which the Fund invests. In this case, such conflicts of interest could in theory give rise to incentives for PIMCO to, among other things, vote proxies, purchase or redeem shares of the underlying account, or take other actions with respect to the underlying account, in a manner beneficial to the investing account and/or PIMCO but detrimental to the underlying account. Such conflicts of interest could similarly in theory give rise to incentives for PIMCO to, among other things, vote proxies or purchase or redeem shares of the underlying account, or take other actions with respect to the underlying account, in a manner beneficial to the underlying account and/or PIMCO and that may or may not be detrimental to the investing account. For example, even if there is a fee waiver or reimbursement in place relating to the Fund’s investment in an underlying account, or relating to an investing account’s investment in the Fund, this will not necessarily eliminate all conflicts of interest, as PIMCO could nevertheless have a financial incentive to favor investments in PIMCO-affiliated funds and managers (for example, to increase the assets under management of PIMCO or a fund, product or line of business, or otherwise provide support to, certain funds, products or lines of business), which could also impact the manner in which certain transaction fees are set. Conversely, PIMCO’s duties to the Fund, as well as regulatory or other limitations applicable to the Fund, may affect the courses of action available to PIMCO-advised accounts (including the Fund) that invest in the Fund in a manner that is detrimental to such investing accounts. In addition, regulatory restrictions, actual or potential conflicts of interest or other considerations may cause PIMCO to restrict or prohibit participation in certain investments.
Because PIMCO is affiliated with Allianz SE, a large multi-national financial institution (together with its affiliates, “Allianz”), conflicts similar to those described below may occur between the Fund or other accounts managed by PIMCO
and PIMCO’s affiliates or accounts managed by those affiliates. Those affiliates (or their clients), which generally operate autonomously from PIMCO, may take actions that are adverse to the Fund or other accounts managed by PIMCO. In many cases, PIMCO will not be in a position to mitigate those actions or address those conflicts, which could adversely affect the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by PIMCO (each, a “Client,” and collectively, the “Clients”). In addition, because certain Clients are affiliates of PIMCO or have investors who are affiliates or employees of PIMCO, PIMCO may have incentives to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of these Clients over other Clients.
Knowledge and Timing of Fund Trades. A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of a portfolio manager’s day-to-day management of the Fund. Because of their positions with the Fund, the portfolio managers know the size, timing and possible market impact of the Fund’s trades. It is theoretically possible that the portfolio managers could use this information to the advantage of other accounts they manage and to the possible detriment of the Fund.
Cross Trades. A potential conflict of interest may arise in instances where the Fund buys an instrument from a Client or sells an instrument to a Client (each, a “cross trade”). Such conflicts of interest may arise, among other reasons, as a result of PIMCO representing the interests of both the buying party and the selling party in the cross trade or because the price at which the instrument is bought or sold through a cross trade may not be as favorable as the price that might have been obtained had the trade been executed in the open market. PIMCO effects cross trades when appropriate pursuant to procedures adopted under applicable rules and SEC guidance. Among other things, such procedures require that the cross trade is consistent with the respective investment policies and investment restrictions of both parties and is in the best interests of both the buying and selling accounts.
Selection of Service Providers. PIMCO, its affiliates and its employees may have relationships with service providers that recommend, or engage in transactions with or for, the Fund, and these relationships may influence PIMCO’s selection of these service providers for the Fund. Additionally, as a result of these relationships, service providers may have conflicts that create incentives for them to promote the Fund over other funds or financial products. In such circumstances, there is a conflict of interest between PIMCO and the Fund if the Fund determines not to engage or continue to engage these service providers.
Investment Opportunities. A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of a portfolio manager’s management of a number of accounts with varying investment guidelines. Often, an investment opportunity may be suitable for one or more Clients, including Clients with similar names, investment objectives and policies, and/or portfolio management teams, but may not be available in sufficient quantities for all accounts to participate fully. In addition, regulatory issues applicable to PIMCO or the Fund or other accounts may result in the Fund not receiving securities that may otherwise be appropriate for it. Similarly, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by the Fund and another Client. PIMCO has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to allocate investment opportunities on a fair and equitable basis over time. In addition, regulatory issues applicable to PIMCO or one or more Clients may result in certain Clients not receiving securities that may otherwise be appropriate for them.
PIMCO seeks to allocate orders across eligible Client accounts with similar investment guidelines and investment styles fairly and equitably, taking into consideration relevant factors including, among others, applicable investment restrictions and guidelines, including regulatory restrictions; Client account-specific investment objectives, restrictions and other Client instructions, as applicable; risk tolerances; amounts of available cash; the need to rebalance a Client account’s portfolio (e.g., due to investor contributions and redemptions); whether the allocation would result in a Client account receiving a trivial amount or an amount below the established minimum quantity; regulatory requirements; the origin of the investment; the bases for an issuer’s allocation to PIMCO; and other Client account-specific factors. As part of PIMCO’s trade allocation process, portions of new fixed income investment opportunities are distributed among Client account categories where the relevant portfolio managers seek to participate in the investment. Those portions are then further allocated among the Client accounts within such categories pursuant to PIMCO’s trade allocation policy. Portfolio managers managing quantitative strategies and specialized accounts, such as those focused on international securities, mortgage-backed securities, bank loans, or other specialized asset classes, will likely receive an increased distribution of new fixed income investment opportunities where the investment involves a quantitative strategy or specialized asset class that matches the investment objectives or focus of the Client account category. PIMCO seeks to allocate fixed income investments to Client accounts with the general purpose of maintaining consistent concentrations across similar accounts and achieving, as nearly as possible, portfolio characteristic parity among such accounts. Client accounts furthest from achieving portfolio characteristic parity typically receive priority in allocations. With respect to an order to buy or sell an equity security in the secondary market, PIMCO seeks to allocate the order across Client accounts with similar investment guidelines and investment styles fairly and equitably over time, taking into consideration the relevant factors discussed above.
Any particular allocation decision among Client accounts may be more or less advantageous to any one Client or group of Clients, including the Fund, and certain allocations will, to the extent consistent with PIMCO’s fiduciary obligations, deviate from a pro rata basis among Clients in order to address for example, differences in legal, tax, regulatory, risk management, concentration, exposure, Client guideline limitations and/or mandate or strategy considerations for the relevant Clients.
PIMCO may determine that an investment opportunity or particular purchases or sales are appropriate for one or more Clients, but not appropriate for other Clients, including Clients with similar names, investment objectives and policies, and/or portfolio management teams, or are appropriate or suitable for, or available to, Clients but in different sizes, terms, or timing than is appropriate or suitable for other Clients. For example, some Clients have higher risk tolerances than other Clients, such as private funds, which, in turn, allows PIMCO to allocate a wider variety and/or greater percentage of certain types of investments (which may or may not outperform other types of investments) to such Clients. Further, the respective risk tolerances of different types of Clients may change over time as market conditions change. Those Clients receiving an increased allocation as a result of the effect of their respective risk tolerance may be Clients that pay higher investment management fees or that pay incentive fees. In addition, certain Client account categories focusing on certain types of investments or asset classes will be given priority in new issue distribution and allocation with respect to the investments or asset classes that are the focus of their investment mandate. Similarly, portfolio managers who are responsible for structuring or monitoring certain investments may be given priority in the allocation process for the accounts they manage. PIMCO may also take into account the bases for an issuer’s allocation to PIMCO, for example, by giving priority allocations to Client accounts holding existing positions in the issuer’s debt if the issuer’s allocation to PIMCO is based on such holdings. PIMCO also may determine not to allocate to or purchase or sell for certain Clients all investments for which all Clients may be eligible. Legal, contractual, or regulatory issues and/or related expenses applicable to PIMCO or one or more Clients may result in certain Clients not receiving securities that may otherwise be appropriate for them or may result in PIMCO selling securities out of Client accounts even if it might otherwise be beneficial to continue to hold them. Additional factors that are taken into account in the distribution and allocation of investment opportunities to Client accounts include, without limitation: ability to utilize leverage and risk tolerance of the Client account; the amount of discretion and trade authority given to PIMCO by the Client; availability of other similar investment opportunities; the Client account’s investment horizon and objectives; hedging, cash and liquidity needs of the portfolio; minimum increments and lot sizes; and underlying benchmark factors. Given all of the foregoing factors, the amount, timing, structuring, or terms of an investment by a Client, including the Fund, may differ from, and performance may be lower than, investments and performance of other Clients, including those that may provide greater fees or other compensation (including performance-based fees or allocations) to PIMCO. PIMCO has also adopted additional procedures to complement the general trade allocation policy that are designed to address potential conflicts of interest due to the side-by-side management of the Fund and certain pooled investment vehicles, including investment opportunity allocation issues.
From time to time, PIMCO may take an investment position or action for one or more Clients that may be different from, or inconsistent with, an action or position taken for one or more other Clients having similar or differing investment objectives. These positions and actions may adversely impact, or in some instances may benefit, one or more affected Clients (including Clients that are PIMCO affiliates) in which PIMCO has an interest, or which pays PIMCO higher fees or a performance fee. For example, a Client may buy a security and another Client may establish a short position in that same security. The subsequent short sale may result in a decrease in the price of the security that the other Client holds. Similarly, transactions or investments by one or more Clients may have the effect of diluting or otherwise disadvantaging the values, prices or investment strategies of another Client.
When PIMCO implements for one Client a portfolio decision or strategy ahead of, or contemporaneously with, similar portfolio decisions or strategies of another Client, market impact, liquidity constraints or other factors could result in one or more Clients receiving less favorable trading results, the costs of implementing such portfolio decisions or strategies could be increased or such Clients could otherwise be disadvantaged. On the other hand, potential conflicts may also arise because portfolio decisions regarding a Client may benefit other Clients. For example, the sale of a long position or establishment of a short position for a Client may decrease the price of the same security sold short by (and therefore benefit) other Clients, and the purchase of a security or covering of a short position in a security for a Client may increase the price of the same security held by (and therefore benefit) other Clients.
Under certain circumstances, a Client may invest in a transaction in which one or more other Clients are expected to participate, or already have made or will seek to make, an investment. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, a Client may also engage in investment transactions that may result in other Clients being relieved of obligations, or that may cause other Clients to divest certain investments (e.g., a Client may make a loan to, or directly or indirectly acquire securities or indebtedness of, a company that uses the proceeds to refinance or reorganize its capital structure, which could result in repayment of debt held by another Client). Such Clients (or groups of Clients) may have conflicting interests and objectives in connection with such investments, including with respect to views on the operations or activities of the issuer involved, the targeted returns from the investment and the timeframe for, and method of, exiting the investment. When making such investments, PIMCO may do so in a way that favors one Client over another Client, even if both Clients are investing in the same security at the same time. Certain Clients may invest on a “parallel” basis (i.e., proportionately in all transactions at substantially the same time and on substantially the same terms and conditions). In addition, other accounts may expect to invest in many of the same types of investments as another account. However, there may be investments in which one or more of such accounts does not invest (or invests on different terms or on a non-pro rata basis) due to factors such as legal, tax, regulatory, business, contractual or other similar considerations or due to the provisions of a Client’s governing documents. Decisions as to the allocation of investment opportunities among such Clients present numerous conflicts of interest, which
may not be resolved in a manner that is favorable to a Client’s interests. To the extent an investment is not allocated pro rata among such entities, a Client could incur a disproportionate amount of income or loss related to such investment relative to such other Client.
In addition, Clients may invest alongside one another in the same underlying investments or otherwise pursuant to a substantially similar investment strategy as one or more other Clients. In such cases, certain Clients may have preferential liquidity and information rights relative to other Clients holding the same investments, with the result that such Clients will be able to withdraw/redeem their interests in underlying investments in priority to Clients who may have more limited access to information or more restrictive withdrawal/redemption rights. Clients with more limited information rights or more restrictive liquidity may therefore be adversely affected in the event of a downturn in the markets.
Further, potential conflicts may be inherent in PIMCO’s use of multiple strategies. For example, conflicts will arise in cases where different Clients invest in different parts of an issuer’s capital structure, including circumstances in which one or more Clients may own private securities or obligations of an issuer and other Clients may own or seek to acquire private securities of the same issuer. For example, a Client may acquire a loan, loan participation or a loan assignment of a particular borrower in which one or more other Clients have an equity investment, or may invest in senior debt obligations of an issuer for one Client and junior debt obligations or equity of the same issuer for another Client.
PIMCO may also, for example, direct a Client to invest in a tranche of a structured finance vehicle, such as a CLO or CDO, where PIMCO is also, at the same or different time, directing another Client to make investments in a different tranche of the same vehicle, which tranche’s interests may be adverse to other tranches. PIMCO may also cause a Client to purchase from, or sell assets to, an entity, such as a structured finance vehicle, in which other Clients may have an interest, potentially in a manner that will have an adverse effect on the other Clients. There may also be conflicts where, for example, a Client holds certain debt or equity securities of an issuer, and that same issuer has issued other debt, equity or other instruments that are owned by other Clients or by an entity, such as a structured finance vehicle, in which other Clients have an interest.
In each of the situations described above, PIMCO may take actions with respect to the assets held by one Client that are adverse to the other Clients, for example, by foreclosing on loans, by putting an issuer into default, or by exercising rights to purchase or sell to an issuer, causing an issuer to take actions adverse to certain classes of securities, or otherwise. In negotiating the terms and conditions of any such investments, or any subsequent amendments or waivers or taking any other actions, PIMCO may find that the interests of a Client and the interests of one or more other Clients could conflict. In these situations, decisions over items such as whether to make the investment or take an action, proxy voting, corporate reorganization, how to exit an investment, or bankruptcy or similar matters (including, for example, whether to trigger an event of default or the terms of any workout) may result in conflicts of interest. Similarly, if an issuer in which a Client and one or more other Clients directly or indirectly hold different classes of securities (or other assets, instruments or obligations issued by such issuer or underlying investments of such issuer) encounters financial problems, decisions over the terms of any workout will raise conflicts of interests (including, for example, conflicts over proposed waivers and amendments to debt covenants). For example, a debt holder may be better served by a liquidation of the issuer in which it may be paid in full, whereas an equity or junior bond holder might prefer a reorganization that holds the potential to create value for the equity holders. In some cases PIMCO may refrain from taking certain actions or making certain investments on behalf of Clients in order to avoid or mitigate certain conflicts of interest or to prevent adverse regulatory or other effects on PIMCO, or may sell investments for certain Clients (in each case potentially disadvantaging the Clients on whose behalf the actions are not taken, investments not made, or investments sold). In other cases, PIMCO may not refrain from taking actions or making investments on behalf of certain Clients that have the potential to disadvantage other Clients. In addition, PIMCO may take actions or refrain from taking actions in order to mitigate legal risks to PIMCO or its affiliates or its Clients even if disadvantageous to a Client’s account. Moreover, a Client may invest in a transaction in which one or more other Clients are expected to participate, or already have made or will seek to make, an investment.
Additionally, certain conflicts may exist with respect to portfolio managers who make investment decisions on behalf of several different types of Clients. Such portfolio managers may have an incentive to allocate trades, time or resources to certain Clients, including those Clients who pay higher investment management fees or that pay incentive fees or allocations, over other Clients. These conflicts may be heightened with respect to portfolio managers who are eligible to receive a performance allocation under certain circumstances as part of their compensation.
From time to time, PIMCO personnel may come into possession of MNPI which, if disclosed, might affect an investor’s decision to buy, sell or hold a security. Should a PIMCO employee come into possession of MNPI with respect to an issuer, he or she generally will be prohibited from communicating such information to, or using such information for the benefit of, Clients, which could limit the ability of Clients to buy, sell or hold certain investments, thereby limiting the investment opportunities or exit strategies available to Clients. In addition, holdings in the securities or other instruments of an issuer by PIMCO or its affiliates may affect the ability of a Client to make certain acquisitions of or enter into certain transactions with such issuer. PIMCO has no obligation or responsibility to disclose such information to, or use such information for the benefit of, any person (including Clients). Moreover, restrictions imposed by or through third-party automated trading platforms
could affect a Client’s ability to transact through, or the quality of execution achieved through, such platforms.
PIMCO maintains one or more restricted lists of companies whose securities are subject to certain trading prohibitions due to PIMCO’s business activities. PIMCO may restrict trading in an issuer’s securities if the issuer is on a restricted list or if PIMCO has MNPI about that issuer. In some situations, PIMCO may restrict Clients from trading in a particular issuer’s securities in order to allow PIMCO to receive MNPI on behalf of other Clients. A Client may be unable to buy or sell certain securities until the restriction is lifted, which could disadvantage the Client. PIMCO may also be restricted from making (or divesting of) investments in respect of some Clients but not others. In some cases PIMCO may not initiate or recommend certain types of transactions, or may otherwise restrict or limit its advice relating to certain securities if a security is restricted due to MNPI or if PIMCO is seeking to limit receipt of MNPI.
PIMCO may conduct litigation or engage in other legal actions on behalf of one or more Clients. In such cases, Clients may be required to bear certain fees, costs, expenses and liabilities associated with the litigation. Other Clients that are or were investors in, or otherwise involved with, the subject investments may or may not (depending on the circumstances) be parties to such litigation actions, with the result that certain Clients may participate in litigation actions in which not all Clients with similar investments may participate, and such non-participating Clients may benefit from the results of such litigation actions without bearing or otherwise being subject to the associated fees, costs, expenses and liabilities. PIMCO, for example, typically does not pursue legal claims on behalf of its separate accounts. Furthermore, in certain situations, litigation or other legal actions pursued by PIMCO on behalf of a Client may be brought against or be otherwise adverse to a portfolio company or other investment held by a Client.
Co-Investments. The 1940 Act imposes significant limits on co-investment with affiliates of the Fund. The Fund has received exemptive relief from the SEC that, to the extent the Fund relies on such relief, permits it to (among other things) co-invest with certain other persons, including certain affiliates of the Investment Manager and certain public or private funds managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, subject to certain terms and conditions. Co-investment transactions may give rise to conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest among the Fund and its affiliates. The exemptive relief from the SEC with respect to co-investments imposes extensive conditions on any co-investments made in reliance on such relief that may limit or restrict the Fund’s ability to participate in an investment or participate in an investment to a lesser extent. An inability to receive the desired allocation to potential investments may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve the desired investment returns. In the event investment opportunities are allocated among the Fund and its affiliates pursuant to co-investment exemptive relief, the Fund may not be able to structure its investment portfolio in the manner desired. Although PIMCO will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, the Fund will generally not be permitted to co-invest in any issuer in which a fund managed by PIMCO or any of its downstream affiliates (other than the Fund and its downstream affiliates) currently has an investment. However, the Fund would be able to co-invest with funds managed by PIMCO or any of its downstream affiliates, subject to compliance with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and its allocation procedures. Pursuant to co-investment exemptive relief, the Fund will be able to invest in opportunities in which PIMCO and/or its affiliates has an investment, and PIMCO and/or its affiliates will be able to invest in opportunities in which the Fund has made an investment. From time to time, the Fund and its affiliates may make investments at different levels of an issuer’s capital structure or otherwise in different classes of an issuer’s securities. Such investments inherently give rise to conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest between or among the various classes of securities that may be held by such entities. PIMCO has adopted procedures governing the co-investment in securities acquired in private placements with certain clients of PIMCO.
The foregoing is not a complete list of conflicts to which PIMCO or Clients may be subject. PIMCO seeks to review conflicts on a case-by-case basis as they arise. Any review will take into consideration the interests of the relevant Clients, the circumstances giving rise to the conflict, applicable PIMCO policies and procedures, and applicable laws. Clients (and investors in the Fund) should be aware that conflicts will not necessarily be resolved in favor of their interests and may in fact be resolved in a manner adverse to their interests. PIMCO will attempt to resolve such matters fairly, but even so, matters may be resolved in favor of other Clients which pay PIMCO higher fees or performance fees or in which PIMCO or its affiliates have a significant proprietary interest. Clients (and investors in the Fund) should also be aware that the Fund may experience losses associated with decisions or actions directly or indirectly attributable to PIMCO, and PIMCO may determine whether compensation to the Fund for such losses is appropriate in view of its standard of care, which may also be subject to the Board’s review. PIMCO will attempt to resolve such matters fairly subject to applicable PIMCO policies and procedures, and applicable laws, but even so, such matters may not be resolved in favor of Clients’ (and Fund investors’) interests and may in fact be resolved in a manner adverse to their interests. There can be no assurance that any actual or potential conflicts of interest will not result in a particular Client or group of Clients receiving less favorable investment terms in or returns from certain investments than if such conflicts of interest did not exist.
Conflicts like those described above may also occur between Clients, on the one hand, and PIMCO or its affiliates, on the other. These conflicts will not always be resolved in favor of the Client. In addition, because PIMCO is affiliated with Allianz, a large multi-national financial institution, conflicts similar to those described above may occur between clients of PIMCO and PIMCO’s affiliates or accounts managed by those affiliates. Those affiliates (or their clients), which generally operate
autonomously from PIMCO, may take actions that are adverse to PIMCO’s Clients. In many cases, PIMCO will have limited or no ability to mitigate those actions or address those conflicts, which could adversely affect Client performance. In addition, certain regulatory or internal restrictions may prohibit PIMCO from using certain brokers or investing in certain companies (even if such companies are not affiliated with Allianz) because of the applicability of certain laws and regulations or internal Allianz policies applicable to PIMCO, Allianz SE or their affiliates. An account’s willingness to negotiate terms or take actions with respect to an investment may also be, directly or indirectly, constrained or otherwise impacted to the extent Allianz SE, PIMCO, and/or their affiliates, directors, partners, managers, members, officers or personnel are also invested therein or otherwise have a connection to the subject investment (e.g., serving as a trustee or board member thereof).
Certain service providers to the Fund are expected to be owned by or otherwise related to or affiliated with a Client, and in certain cases, such service providers are expected to be, or are owned by, employed by, or otherwise related to, PIMCO, Allianz SE, their affiliates and/or their respective employees, consultants and other personnel. PIMCO may, in its sole discretion, determine to provide, or engage or recommend an affiliate of PIMCO to provide, certain services to the Fund, instead of engaging or recommending one or more third parties to provide such services. Subject to the governance requirements of a particular fund and applicable law, PIMCO or its affiliates, as applicable, will receive compensation in connection with the provision of such services. As a result, PIMCO faces a conflict of interest when selecting or recommending service providers for the Fund. Fees paid to an affiliated service provider will be determined in PIMCO’s commercially reasonable discretion, taking into account the relevant facts and circumstances, and consistent with PIMCO’s responsibilities. Although PIMCO has adopted various policies and procedures intended to mitigate or otherwise manage conflicts of interest with respect to affiliated service providers, there can be no guarantee that such policies and procedures (which may be modified or terminated at any time in PIMCO’s sole discretion) will be successful.
Performance Fees. A portfolio manager may advise certain accounts with respect to which the management fee is based entirely or partially on performance. Performance fee arrangements may create a conflict of interest for the portfolio manager in that the portfolio manager may have an incentive to allocate the investment opportunities that he or she believes might be the most profitable to such other accounts instead of allocating them to the Fund. PIMCO has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to allocate investment opportunities between the Fund and such other accounts on a fair and equitable basis over time.
(a)(3)
As of December 31, 2025, the following explains the compensation structure of the individuals who have primary responsibility for day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund:
Portfolio Manager Compensation
PIMCO’s and its affiliates’ approach to compensation seeks to provide professionals with a compensation process that is driven by values of collaboration, openness, responsibility and excellence.
Generally, compensation packages consist of three components. The compensation program for portfolio managers is designed to align with clients’ interests, emphasizing each portfolio manager’s ability to generate long-term investment success for clients, among other factors. A portfolio manager’s compensation is not based solely on the performance of the Fund or any other account managed by that portfolio manager:
Base Salary – Base salary is determined based on core job responsibilities, positions/levels and market factors. Base salary levels are reviewed annually, when there is a significant change in job responsibilities or position, or a significant change in market levels.
Variable Compensation – In addition to a base salary, portfolio managers have a variable component of their compensation, which is based on a combination of individual and company performance and includes both qualitative and quantitative factors. The following non-exhaustive list of qualitative and quantitative factors is considered when determining total compensation for portfolio managers:
| • | Performance measured over a variety of longer- and shorter-term periods, including 5-year, 4-year, 3-year, 2-year and 1-year dollar-weighted and account-weighted, pre-tax total and risk-adjusted investment performance as judged against the applicable benchmarks (which may include internal investment performance-related benchmarks) for each account managed by a portfolio manager (including the Fund) and relative to applicable industry peer groups and; |
| • | Amount and nature of assets managed by the portfolio manager. |
The variable compensation component of an employee’s compensation may include a deferred component. The deferred portion will generally be subject to vesting and may appreciate or depreciate based on the performance of PIMCO and/or its
affiliates. PIMCO’s Long-Term Incentive Plan provides participants with deferred cash awards that appreciate or depreciate based on PIMCO’s operating earnings over a rolling three-year period. Additionally, PIMCO’s Carried Interest Plan provides eligible participants (i.e. those who provide services to PIMCO’s alternative funds) a percentage of the carried interest otherwise payable to PIMCO if the applicable performance measurements described in the alternative fund’s partnership agreements are achieved.
Portfolio managers who are Managing Directors of PIMCO receive compensation from a non-qualified profit sharing plan consisting of a portion of PIMCO’s net profits. Portfolio managers who are Managing Directors receive an amount determined by the Partner Compensation Committee, based upon an individual’s overall contribution to the firm.
