 Trustees (the "Board") once a year, as a percentage of the rolling average of the Fund’s NAV over the preceding three month period ending on the last day of the month immediately preceding the distribution’s declaration date. On March 11, 2025, the Board determined the rolling distribution rate to be 12% for the 12-month period commencing with the distribution payable in June 2025. This policy will be subject to regular review by the Board. The distributions will be made from current income, supplemented by realized capital gains and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital, which is a nontaxable return of capital. On May 9, 2025, the Fund announced that it will pay on June 30, 2025, a stock distribution of US $0.43 per share to all shareholders of record as of May 22, 2025. This stock distribution will automatically be paid in newly issued shares of the Fund unless otherwise instructed by the shareholder. Shares of common stock will be issued at the lower of the NAV per share or the market price per share with a floor for the NAV of not less than 95% of the market price. Fractional shares will generally be settled in cash, except for registered shareholders with book entry accounts at Computershare Investor Services who will have whole and fractional shares added to their account. Shareholders may request to be paid their quarterly distributions in cash instead of shares of common stock by providing advance notice to the bank, brokerage or nominee who holds their shares if the shares are in “street name” or by filling out in advance an election card received from Computershare Investor Services if the shares are in registered form.
