The Board of Trustees has set the ex-dividend and record date for August 19, 2026, with the final payment scheduled for August 31, 2026. This declaration is intended solely to notify investors of the timing and amount of the upcoming payout.

Shareholders should note that these distributions are not final for tax reporting purposes. The specific tax characterization—whether the payments constitute ordinary income, long-term capital gains, or a return of capital—will be determined at the close of the 2026 fiscal year. The Fund will provide definitive details via Form 1099-DIV in early 2027. As of July 31, 2026, the estimated fiscal year-to-date figures included a return of capital component of $0.250 per share, though this remains subject to final regulatory adjustment.
