This announcement serves as a formal notice of the distribution amount and timing. Shareholders should note that these payments may be derived from various sources, including net income, capital gains, or a return of capital. Because tax characteristics are determined only at the close of the fiscal year, the exact tax classification of these distributions will be provided to investors in early 2027 via Form 1099-DIV.

As of July 31, 2026, internal estimates suggest that approximately $0.0817, or 7% of the cumulative fiscal year-to-date distribution, could be characterized as a return of capital. However, DoubleLine emphasizes that this figure remains preliminary and subject to final tax adjustments. The Fund, managed by Tampa-based DoubleLine Capital LP, pursues a strategy of active asset allocation across fixed-income sectors, though it cautions that investment in the fund carries inherent risks, including potential loss of principal and exposure to high-yield or speculative-grade securities.
