 the proposal. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed by PAXS, PCN, PDO and PTY as tellers and by PCM as inspectors (collectively, the “Tellers/Inspectors”) for the Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for each Fund, the Tellers/Inspectors will include the total number of Shares present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, including Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions and “broker non-votes”( i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter). For a proposal requiring approval of a plurality of votes cast, such as the election of Trustees, abstentions and broker non-voteswill not be counted towards the achievement of a plurality of votes cast for a nominee and will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. In the case of a contested election, abstentions and non-votesmay require a nominee to receive a higher percentage of the votes cast in order to achieve a plurality of the votes cast but will not be counted as votes against such nominee’s election. PIMCO is sensitive to the health and travel concerns of the Funds’ shareholders and the evolving recommendations from public health officials. Due to the difficulties arising from the coronavirus known as COVID-19,the date, time, location or means of conducting the Meeting may change. In the event of such a change, the Funds will issue a press release announcing the change and file the announcement on the SEC’s EDGAR system, among other steps, but may not deliver additional soliciting materials to shareholders or otherwise amend the Funds’ proxy materials. The Funds may consider imposing additional procedures or limitations on Meeting attendees or conducting the Meeting as a “virtual” shareholder meeting through the internet or other electronic means in lieu of an in-personmeeting, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law. If the Meeting will be held virtually in whole or in part, a Fund will notify its shareholders of such plans in a timely manner and disclose clear directions as to the logistical details of the “virtual” meeting, including how shareholders can remotely access, participate in and vote at such meeting. The Funds plan to announce these changes, if any, at pimco.com/closedendfunds, and encourage you to check this website prior to the Meeting if you plan to attend. Please note that any shareholder
