Shareholder Update 207

Shareholder Update (unaudited) (continued)

As of December 31, 2024, BUI ’ s market price, NAV per Common Share, and premium/(discount) to NAV per Common Share were $23.43, $22.65, and 3.44%, respectively. Common shares of each Trust have historically traded at both a premium and discount to NAV. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to their NAV. Because of this possibility and the recognition that any such discount may not be in the interest of shareholders, the Board might consider from time to time engaging in open-market repurchases, managed distribution plans, or other programs intended to reduce the discount. We cannot guarantee or assure, however, that the Board will decide to engage in any of these actions. Nor is there any guarantee or assurance that such actions, if undertaken, would result in the shares trading at a price equal or close to the NAV.
