**Rye, New York** – May 11, 2026 – The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust (NYSE: GDV) (the "Fund") announced today that its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") has been adjourned. The meeting will be reconvened at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on June 29, 2026 at Indian Harbor Yacht Club, 710 Steamboat Road, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830 to permit the solicitation of additional shareholder votes with respect to Proposal 1(a), to elect three (3) Trustees by the holders of common stock and preferred stock of the Fund, voting together as a single class.
