Semi-Annual Report

May 31, 2025

**Flaherty & Crumrine Dynamic Preferred and Income Fund**

To the Shareholders of Flaherty & Crumrine Dynamic Preferred and Income Fund ("DFP"):

Investors were pitched several curveballs in the first half of the fiscal year, notably in the second quarter as rapidly changing tariff policy dominated headlines. While Treasury and equity volatility were elevated, preferred and contingent capital (CoCo) markets proved more resilient. Total return<sup>1</sup> on net asset value ("NAV") was -0.4% for the second fiscal quarter<sup>2</sup> and 1.3% for the first half of the fiscal year. Total return on market price of Fund shares over the same periods was -0.2% and 0.7%, respectively.

Fiscal 2025 began on solid footing, largely a continuation of positive themes and technicals from FY2024. It was clear early in the first quarter that the Federal Reserve (Fed) had pushed out its timeline for additional rate cuts, with the economy sandwiched between a strong labor market and good underlying growth on one side and lower, but stubborn, inflation on the other side. The November election set up a change in administration and control of Congress shifted narrowly to the Republican party. Many of President Trump's campaign themes were viewed positively by markets, such as tax cuts, deregulation, and greater government efficiency. However, concern around rapid shifts in tariff policies and increased government deficits accounted for much of the market movements after inauguration day.

Interest rate volatility was elevated for much of 2024, and this volatility continued in the first half of 2025, although the focus shifted to the impact of the above policies, especially tariffs, on both the economy and Fed policy. It was clear that uncertainty regarding tariff policies could present the Fed with difficult choices if long-term inflation expectations were to rise at the same time as the economy was slowing.

In the first quarter, equity and fixed-income markets took all of this in stride as data pointed to a strong economy, healthy labor market, and good corporate earnings. At the same time, a reassuring Fed forecasted more rate cuts as inflation slowed but signaled a willingness to be patient with future policy changes. The announcement of sharply higher "reciprocal" tariffs in early April set off an entirely new set of concerns for the market. The weakness in early April proved short-lived, however, as many of the initial tariffs were paused or pared back to allow for negotiations

with trade partners. Equity investors once again bought the dip and tariff worries progressively eased throughout the month. By the end of the second quarter, equity markets had nearly erased their early-April moves and have continued moving higher in recent weeks. The preferred and CoCo markets also reacted negatively in early April with negative price returns – albeit to a lesser extent – and the recovery has been similarly swift.

New supply of traditional preferreds has been limited, as most bank issuers have not experienced balance sheet growth that would result in additional capital needs. Certain banks have refinanced higher-coupon (or higher-reset) preferreds, but broadly, the need for new capital has been limited. Banks have reported solid earnings, continued to build capital from already heightened levels, and the issues related to unrealized securities losses and commercial real estate delinquencies have been progressing slowly, but positively. Favorable stress tests resulted in lower "stress capital buffers" (SCB) for some large banks, and a new proposal to lower the largest banks' supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) requirements may further slow bank issuance of preferred securities in the coming quarters.

In contrast, non-bank supply has been robust, with the 30-year, non-call 5- or 10-year hybrid structures being very popular with both issuers and the many crossover buyers looking for additional yield. Recall Investment Grade (IG) and High Yield (HY) spreads have been near historical tights for some time, and these investors have added hybrids and, therefore, yield, to their fixed-income portfolios. These new securities carry coupon rates not seen for many years due to low interest rates following the global financial crisis and, later, the COVID-19 pandemic. It seems investors are more interested in all-in yield than comparative spreads to Treasuries. Issuance has been concentrated in sectors in need of growth capital and rating support, notably utilities, energy, insurance, and telecom.

The Fund's distributable income has improved this fiscal year, as favorable call experience and higher reinvestment rates improved top-line income and allowed for modest increases in distribution rates. Lower short-term rates greatly benefit the Funds' cost of leverage. Overnight SOFR rates (the Fund's benchmark rate) are highly correlated to Fed policy rates and fell immediately after each Fed rate cut in 2024. While future Fed policy is uncertain, additional cuts in 2025 and 2026 may further improve distributable income.

We remain constructive on preferreds and CoCos, although we admit spreads have compressed. Relative to IG and HY, however, preferreds and CoCos continue to offer incremental spread that is difficult to find in other sectors without also increasing duration or issuer credit risk. Given today's narrow spreads, lower interest rates may be required for total returns to exceed coupon income this year. However, market technical factors remain strong, and credit markets could eventually attract some of the very large balances still held in money-market funds. We would also acknowledge that 2025 has already been filled with policy surprises, and there may be more ahead as the administration advances its priorities. Government deficits are increasing, which could put pressure on interest rates, steepen the yield curve, and raise all-in yields in credit markets. Politicians appear willing to kick this can down the road, but we remain mindful of the long-run economic consequences of such decisions.

Sincerely,

The Flaherty & Crumrine Portfolio Management Team

**DISCUSSION TOPICS**

(Unaudited)

**Fund Performance**

The table below presents a breakdown of the components that comprise the Fund's total return on NAV over the recent six months. These components include: (a) total return on the Fund's portfolio of securities; (b) the impact of utilizing leverage to enhance returns to shareholders and accretive impact of the Fund's at-the-market program ("ATM Program"); and (c) Fund operating expenses. When these components are added together, they comprise total return on NAV. Past performance does not predict future results. Performance shown in the graphs and tables herein does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

**Components of DFP's Total Return on NAV for the Six Months Ended May 31, 2025<sup>(1)</sup>**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Total Return on Unleveraged Securities Portfolio (including principal change and income)  | 2.0% |
| Impact of Leverage (including leverage expense) and ATM Program | -0.1% |
| Expenses (excluding leverage expense)  | -0.6% |
| <sup>(1)</sup>Actual, not annualized *Total Return on NAV*<br>| *1.3%* |

For the six-months ended May 31, 2025 the Benchmark Index<sup>1</sup><sup>,</sup><sup>2</sup> returned -0.9%. This index reflects various segments of the preferred securities market constituting the Fund's primary focus. Since this index return excludes all expenses and the impact of leverage, it compares most directly to the top line in the Fund's performance table above (Total Return on Unleveraged Securities Portfolio).

While our focus is primarily on managing the Fund's investment portfolio, a shareholder's actual return is comprised of the Fund's monthly dividend payments plus changes in the market price of Fund shares. The table and chart below depict total return on net asset value and total return on market price over the preceding 10 years.

In a more perfect world, the market price of Fund shares and its NAV would track more closely. If so, any premium or discount (calculated as the difference between these two inputs and expressed as a percentage) would remain relatively close to zero. However, as can be seen in the chart below, this often has not been the case.

Although divergence between NAV and market price of a closed-end fund is generally driven by supply/demand imbalances affecting its market price, we can only speculate about why the relationship between the Fund's market price and NAV hasn't been closer.

**U.S. Economic & Credit Outlook**

Tariffs drove much of the volatility in financial markets during the first half of 2025 and clouded an otherwise favorable U.S. economic outlook. Entering 2025, our most-likely scenario was for the U.S. economy to deliver modest growth (about 2%) and gradually slowing inflation that would translate into 50-75 basis points (bp) of additional rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. However, tariffs announced by the Trump administration in early April were much higher than expected, and final rates remain uncertain.

This uncertainty distorted economic activity in the first half of 2025, and it leaves the outlook for the second half unusually hazy. Currently, we expect U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) to average a little over 1.0% in 2025. We also have raised our inflation outlook and now expect core PCE of about 3.5% YoY at year-end 2025—although that will depend greatly on the breadth and magnitude of tariffs. While most of tariffs' boost to inflation should be temporary, some could persist, pushing "soft landing" into late 2026 or early 2027. Moreover, lower productivity and higher costs from reordered supply chains and tariffs suggest slower economic growth and higher inflation than before tariffs were imposed. "Mild stagflation" is a better name for the outlook over the next 4-6 quarters.

Headline real GDP fell 0.5% in 1Q2025, but that was due primarily to a sharply wider trade deficit as imports surged ahead of tariffs. Underlying economic growth remained resilient, with private domestic final sales (GDP excluding government consumption and changes in net exports and inventories) up 1.9% on strong business investment. Trade drag should be partially reversed in the second quarter, and real consumer spending is up moderately, supported by slower but still good job growth in the first half. With tariffs expected to increase in the second half, imports should decline and shrink the trade deficit, adding to real GDP. However, real consumer and business spending is likely to slow as higher tariffs raise prices and "front-running" purchases made in 2025's first half subside. Core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) inflation was up 2.7% over 12 months ending in May (unchanged from its pace a year earlier). It remains considerably above the Fed's longer-term 2% target and faces upside risk from tariffs in the second half.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) left its fed funds target range unchanged at 4.25-4.50% so far in 2025. Its current policy stance remains moderately restrictive, and we would normally expect it would have cut rates a bit more given a slowdown in employment growth. However, the uncertain impact of tariffs on future inflation has persuaded the FOMC to wait and see how inflation and the economy develop. We think that is the right approach for now (and it's built into our outlook), but we would not be surprised by two 25 bp rate cuts this year starting in September if inflation rises less than we expect.

Fundamental credit metrics remain healthy. Aggregate nonfinancial corporate balance sheets show good liquidity, low interest expense relative to earnings, and cash flow that exceeds capital expenditure. Bank loan delinquencies and charge-offs mostly stabilized or declined in the first quarter, and they are expected to look a bit better in the second quarter too. Allowances for loan losses are up significantly, and bank capital is stronger than a year ago. Commercial office loans remain under stress from low occupancy rates, but these portfolios are gradually shrinking, leasing activity is turning up in some major markets, and problem loans have been reduced. Similarly, while consumer loan delinquencies and charge-offs are up considerably over the past two years, net interest margins are also up. Although slower economic growth is likely to pressure loan performance and be a drag on earnings, we think banks are well prepared to manage through a slowdown—even a recession if one comes.

Economic outcomes will be strongly influenced by policy choices, and we are attentive to the risks they pose. We believe investing in preferred securities with moderate interest rate duration, relatively high current income, and good credit quality remains an appropriate strategy to manage through this period of elevated uncertainty.

**A Review of 2025 Dodd-Frank Bank Stress Tests**

On June 27, the Federal Reserve released its 2025 large-bank Dodd-Frank Act stress test results. They were in line with expectations, and all 22 banks "passed" the 2025 stress test. The 2025 "severely adverse" scenario modeled banks' financial performance assuming unemployment peaking at 10% (unchanged from the 2023 and 2024 tests), real GDP down 7.8% (versus 8.5% in 2024), equities down 50% (55%), house prices down 33% (36%), and commercial real estate down 30% (40%), among other factors. Under this scenario, the average minimum common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio for this year's 22 bank participants was 11.6% versus 9.9% in the June 2024 test. The results of this year's stress test demonstrate that large U.S. banks remain "well-capitalized," and no bank breached minimum capital requirements during the two-year stress period.<sup>1</sup> Under all scenarios, the 22 large banks maintained capital buffers that were significantly above the Fed's required minimum, after capital actions. Large U.S. banks appear well prepared for a recession, should one arrive over the near term.

The Fed also conducted its 2025 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) to evaluate bank capital plans considering the stress tests results. Our main CCAR takeaway is that banks should continue to exercise discipline regarding common shareholder returns given uncertainty over tariffs and their impact on economic growth and inflation, and ongoing geopolitical conflicts.

Since the results were published, roughly half of the U.S. banks announced higher common stock dividends (peer group average increase was ~9% compared to ~6% last year), while the remaining banks left them unchanged. Some banks did announce sizeable share repurchase programs given expectations for lower required stress capital buffers (SCB). Roughly half of the U.S. regional banks did not announce any share repurchase plans, while some left existing buyback programs in place. New SCB requirements are effective on October 1, 2025. With these lower requirements, along with potential changes to the Federal Reserve's calculation of the supplementary leverage ratio for very large institutions, banks' overall capital requirements will shrink. We expect management teams to maintain prudent buffers over these requirements, but it is something we are monitoring.

For the second year, the Fed tested exploratory market shock scenarios that include two separate hypothetical elements. One examined how banks would react to credit and liquidity shocks in the non-bank financial institution sector during a severe global recession. The second included market disruption scenarios (e.g. failure of each bank's five largest hedge fund counterparties with reduced global economic activity and higher inflation) that only applied to the largest and most complex banks. The Fed concluded the banks were able to withstand these shocks. Note that this exploratory analysis does not currently contribute to or impact bank capital requirements.

Given a highly uncertain economic outlook, we expect banks to maintain robust capital levels and loan-loss reserves over coming quarters. As always, we will monitor their operational and financial policies for signs of credit deterioration or improvement and are prepared to adjust the Fund's portfolio accordingly.

<sup>1</sup>For stress test purposes, the benchmark for a "well-capitalized" bank remains CET1 of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets plus a specific Global Systemically Important Bank Holding Company (GSIB) surcharge, where applicable. To pass the stress test, a bank's projected CET1 ratio must remain above that benchmark by a certain amount, called the Stress Capital Buffer (SCB). The Fed sets the SCB requirement for each of the banks annually. For quarterly reporting purposes, minimum CET1 for a "well-capitalized" bank remains the sum of the 4.5%, a GSIB surcharge, if any, and the specific SCB assigned to each bank.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

------

**1.** **Organization**

Flaherty & Crumrine Dynamic Preferred and Income Fund Incorporated (the "Fund") was incorporated as a Maryland corporation on October 10, 2012, and commenced operations on May 29, 2013 as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund's investment objective is to seek total return, with an emphasis on high current income.

**2.** **Significant Accounting Policies**

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of the financial statements is in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), including the accounting and reporting principles under ASC 946-10-50-1, and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

*Portfolio Valuation*: Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits fund boards to designate a valuation designee to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are "readily available" for purposes of Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires a fund to fair value a security when market quotations are not readily available.

The net asset value of the Fund's Common Stock is calculated by the Fund's Administrator (as defined below) on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading, in accordance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Adviser (as defined below), as the Valuation Designee of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Fund. Net asset value is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets available to Common Stock by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The value of the Fund's net assets available to Common Stock is deemed to equal the value of the Fund's total assets less (i) the Fund's liabilities and (ii) the aggregate liquidation value of any outstanding preferred stock.

The Fund's preferred and debt securities are valued on the basis of current market quotations provided by independent pricing services or dealers approved by the Valuation Designee. In determining the evaluated mean value of a particular preferred or debt security, a pricing service or dealer may use information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations (based on the mean of bid and asked price), market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and/or calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Common stocks that are traded on stock exchanges are valued at the last sale price or official close price on the exchange, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available mean price. Futures contracts and option contracts on futures contracts are valued on the basis of the settlement price for such contracts on the primary exchange on which they trade. Investments in over-the-counter derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps and options thereon ("swaptions"), are valued using prices supplied by a pricing service, or if such prices are unavailable, prices provided by a single broker or dealer that is not the counterparty or, if no such prices are available, at a price at which the counterparty to the contract would repurchase the instrument or terminate the contract. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which management determines that the prices are not reflective of current market conditions are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee, including reference to valuations of other securities which are comparable in quality, maturity and type.

Flaherty & Crumrine Dynamic Preferred and Income Fund Incorporated

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

------

Investments in money market instruments and all debt and preferred securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates market value. Investments in money market funds are valued at the net asset value of such funds.

*Fair Value Measurements*: The Fund has analyzed all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. The levels of fair value inputs used to measure the Fund's investments are characterized into a fair value hierarchy. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall into more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment's valuation. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers in and out of levels are recognized at market value at the end of the period.

A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of May 31, 2025 is as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

------

During the reporting period, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3.

The fair values of the Fund's investments are generally based on market information and quotes received from brokers or independent pricing services that are unaffiliated with the Adviser (as defined below). To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Adviser regularly compares current prices to prior prices, prices across comparable securities, actual sale prices for securities in the Fund's portfolio, and market information obtained by the Adviser as a function of being an active market participant.

Securities with quotes that are based on actual trades or actionable bids and offers with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 1. Securities that are priced using quotes derived from implied values, indicative bids and offers, or a limited number of actual trades—or the same information for securities that are similar in many respects to those being valued—are classified as Level 2. If market information is not available for securities being valued, or materially-comparable securities, then those securities are classified as Level 3. In considering market information, the Valuation Designee evaluates changes in liquidity, willingness of a broker to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from pricing services, and the existence of observable trades in the market.

*Securities transactions and investment income*: Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the specific identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund also amortizes premiums and accretes discounts on fixed income securities using the effective yield method.

*Prepaid expenses*: Prepaid expenses consist primarily of insurance premiums and shelf registration expenses. Insurance premiums are amortized over the term of the current policy. Prepaid shelf registration expenses represent expenses incurred to establish the Fund's shelf registration. Upon filing of an effective shelf registration statement, shelf registration expenses are allocated to paid-in capital for each transaction, if any, on a pro-rata basis based on gross proceeds relative to the total amount offered under the shelf registration. Any unallocated prepaid expense balance associated with the shelf registration are accelerated into expense at the earlier of the end of the registration period or at the effective date of a new shelf registration.

*Federal income taxes*: The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable to regulated investment companies and intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable net investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (November 30, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's major tax jurisdictions are federal and the State of California. The Fund's federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired (each tax year in the four-year period ended November 30, 2024) are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense, which is included in Other expenses in the Statement of Operations. Excise tax, if any, is disclosed below in Excise Tax. There were no expenses for tax-related interest and penalties for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024.

*Dividends and distributions to shareholders*: The Fund expects to declare dividends on a monthly basis to holders of Common Stock ("Shareholders"). Distributions to Shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Any net realized short-term capital gains will be distributed to Shareholders at least annually. Any net realized long-term capital gains may be distributed to Shareholders at least annually or may be retained by the Fund as determined by the Fund's Board. Capital gains retained by the Fund are subject to tax at the capital gains corporate tax rate. Subject to the Fund qualifying as a regulated investment company, any taxes paid by the Fund on such net realized long-term capital gains may be used by the Fund's Shareholders as a credit against their own tax liabilities. The Fund may pay distributions in excess of the Fund's net investment company taxable income and this excess would be a tax-free return of capital distributed from the Fund's assets.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined and characterized in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily due to (1) differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Fund, including timing differences, (2) the attribution of expenses against certain components of taxable investment income, and (3) federal regulations requiring proportionate allocation of income and gains to all classes of shareholders.

Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes, and may exclude amortization of premium and discount on certain fixed income securities, which are not reflected in ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Distributions paid in fiscal year 2025** | **Distributions paid in fiscal year 2025** | **Distributions paid in fiscal year 2024** | **Distributions paid in fiscal year 2024** |
|  | **Ordinary<br>Income** | **Long-Term<br>Capital Gains** | **Ordinary<br>Income** | **Long-Term<br>Capital Gains** |
| Common Stock  | N/A | N/A | $26993273 | $0 |

---

As of November 30, 2024, the components of distributable earnings (i.e., ordinary income and capital gain/loss) available to Shareholders, on a tax basis, were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Capital (Loss)<br>Carryforward** | **Undistributed** **Ordinary Income** | **Undistributed** **Long-Term Gain** | **Net Unrealized** **Appreciation/(Depreciation)** |
| $(26255063) | $231669 | $0 | $(11135199) |

---

The composition of the Fund's accumulated realized capital losses as of November 30, 2024, is indicated below. These losses may be carried forward and offset against future capital gains.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **No Expiration<br>Short Term** | **No Expiration<br>Long Term** | **Total** |
| $4512590 | $21742473 | $26255063 |

---

*Excise tax:* The Code imposes a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the Fund to the extent the Fund does not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least (1) 98% of the sum of its net investment income for that year and 98.2% of its capital gains (both long-term and short-term) for its fiscal year and (2) certain undistributed amounts from previous years. The Fund paid $3,057 of federal excise taxes attributable to calendar year 2024 in March 2025.

*Indemnifications*: The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund's maximum potential exposure under these arrangements is unknown. Currently, the Fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

**3.** **Investment Advisory Fee, Servicing Agent Fee, Administration Fee, Transfer Agent Fee, Custodian Fee, Directors' &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fees and Chief Compliance Officer Fee**

Flaherty & Crumrine Incorporated (the "Adviser") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. The Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.575% on the first $200 million of the Fund's average daily managed assets and 0.50% of the Fund's average daily managed assets above $200 million. For purposes of calculating such a fee, "managed assets" means the Fund's net assets, plus the principal amount of loans from financial institutions or debt securities issued by the Fund, the liquidation preference of preferred stock issued by the Fund, if any, and the proceeds of any reverse repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund.

Destra Capital Advisors LLC (the "Servicing Agent") serves as the Fund's shareholder servicing agent. As compensation for its services, the Fund pays the Servicing Agent a fee computed and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.075% of the Fund's Average Net Assets. For these purposes, "Average Net Assets" are the average daily net assets available to the Fund's common shareholders.

The Bank of New York Mellon ("BNY") serves as the Fund's administrator (the "Administrator"). As Administrator, BNY calculates the net asset value of the Fund's shares of Common Stock and generally assists in all aspects of the Fund's administration and operation. As compensation for BNY's services as Administrator, the Fund pays BNY a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of the first $200 million of the Fund's average daily total managed assets, 0.04% of the next $300 million of the Fund's average daily total managed assets, 0.03% of the next $500 million of the Fund's average daily total managed assets and 0.02% of the Fund's average daily total managed assets above $1 billion. For purposes of calculating such fee, the Fund's total managed assets means the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to the Fund's preferred stock that may be outstanding or otherwise attributable to the use of leverage) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt, if any, representing financial leverage).

Computershare Inc. ("Computershare") serves as the Fund's transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and registrar (the "Transfer Agent"). As compensation for Computershare's services as Transfer Agent, the Fund pays Computershare an annual fee in the amount of $20,500, plus certain out of pocket expenses.

The Bank of New York Mellon (the "Custodian") serves as the Fund's Custodian. As compensation for the Custodian's services as custodian, the Fund pays the Custodian a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.01% of the first $200 million of the Fund's average daily total managed assets, 0.008% of the next $300 million of the Fund's average daily total managed assets, 0.006% of the next $500 million of the Fund's average daily total managed assets, and 0.005% of the Fund's average daily total managed assets above $1 billion. For purposes of calculating such fee, the Fund's total managed assets means the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to any of the Fund's preferred stock that may be outstanding or otherwise attributable to the use of leverage) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt, if any, representing financial leverage).

The Fund pays each Director, who is not a director, officer or employee of the Adviser, a fee of $9,000 per annum, plus $750 for each in-person meeting of the Board or Audit Committee, $500 for each in-person meeting of the Nominating and Governance Committee attended, and $250 for each telephone meeting attended. The Audit Committee Chair receives an additional annual fee of $3,000. The Fund also reimburses all Directors for travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such meetings.

The Fund pays the Adviser a fee of $35,000 per annum for Chief Compliance Officer services and reimburses out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing services in this role.

**4.** **Purchases and Sales of Securities**

For the six months ended May 31, 2025, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, aggregated $49,139,933 and $41,257,734, respectively.

At May 31, 2025, the aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $745,564,715, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $10,601,424 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $31,786,671.

**5.** **Common Stock**

At May 31, 2025, 240,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value Common Stock were authorized.

During a portion of the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024, the Fund had an effective "shelf" registration statement that allowed it to issue shares of Common Stock periodically pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Shelf Registration Statement"). The Shelf Registration Statement expired on April 18, 2024.

There were no Common Stock transactions in the six months ended May 31, 2025, and the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024.

**6.** **Preferred Stock**

The Fund's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. The Fund does not currently have any issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock.

**7.** **Committed Financing Agreement**

The Fund has entered into a committed financing agreement with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International, Ltd. ("Financing Agreement") that allows the Fund to borrow on a secured basis, which the Fund uses in the normal course of business as financial leverage. Such leveraging tends to magnify both the risks and opportunities to Shareholders. The Financing Agreement has been amended from time to time to allow for changes in the committed amount. As of May 31, 2025, the committed amount, and amount borrowed, under the Financing Agreement was $276.3 million.

Effective February 21, 2023, the lender charges an annualized rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), reset daily, plus 0.90% on the drawn (borrowed) balance. The lender's charges on the undrawn (committed) balance remain unchanged at an annualized rate of 0.65%. For the six months ended May 31, 2025, the daily weighted average annualized interest rate on the drawn balance was 5.263% and the average daily loan balance was $276,300,000. SOFR rates may vary in a manner unrelated to the income received on the Fund's assets, which could have either a beneficial or detrimental impact on net investment income and gains available to Shareholders.

The Fund is required to meet certain asset coverage requirements under the Financing Agreement and under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the asset coverage requirements, more than 50% of the Fund's assets are expected to be pledged as collateral assuming the full committed amount is drawn. Securities pledged as collateral are identified in the portfolio of investments. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements, or maintain other financial covenants required under the Financing Agreement, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the amount borrowed under the Financing Agreement. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing requirements or

Flaherty & Crumrine Dynamic Preferred and Income Fund Incorporated

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

------

covenants could restrict the Fund's ability to pay dividends to Shareholders and could necessitate sales of portfolio securities at inopportune times. The Financing Agreement has no stated maturity, but may be terminated by either party without cause with 180 days' advance notice.

Under the 1940 Act, the Fund is not permitted to incur indebtedness, including through borrowing under a credit facility, unless immediately thereafter the Fund will have an asset coverage of at least 300%. This requirement is applied at the time the Fund draws on the loan and not on a daily basis. Because the Fund borrows under a privately arranged credit facility, it is not subject to certain limitations imposed by the 1940 Act on paying dividends or making distributions if the asset coverage on its borrowings falls below 300%.

Under the terms of the Financing Agreement, the lender has the ability to borrow a portion of the securities pledged as collateral against the loan ("Rehypothecated Securities"), subject to certain limits. In connection with any Rehypothecated Securities, the Fund receives a fee from the lender equal to the greater of (x) 0.05% of the value of the Rehypothecated Securities and (y) 70% of net securities lending income. The Fund may recall any Rehypothecated Security at any time and the lender is required to return the security in a timely fashion. In the event the lender does not return the security, the Fund will have the right to, among other things, apply and set off an amount equal to 100% of the then-current fair market value of such Rehypothecated Securities against any loan amounts owed to the lender under the Financing Agreement. Rehypothecated Securities are marked-to-market daily and adjusted as necessary so the value of all Rehypothecated Securities does not exceed 100% of the loan amount under the Financing Agreement. The Fund will continue to earn and receive all dividends, interest, and other distributions on Rehypothecated Securities. As of May 31, 2025, Rehypothecated Securities are identified in the Portfolio of Investments, and fees earned from rehypothecation are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund had rehypothecation income for the six months ended May 31, 2025 of $68,158 and for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024 of $137,489.

**Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan**

Under the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan"), a Shareholder whose Common Stock is registered in his or her own name will have all distributions reinvested automatically by Computershare as agent under the Plan, unless the Shareholder elects to receive cash. Registered Shareholders may elect to receive cash by contacting Computershare at the number provided below. If shares are registered in the name of a broker-dealer or other nominee (that is, in "street name") and the broker or nominee participates in the Plan, distributions may be reinvested by the broker or nominee in additional shares under the Plan, unless the Shareholder elects to receive distributions in cash. Shareholders may elect to receive cash by contacting their broker or nominee. A Shareholder who holds Common Stock registered in the name of a broker or other nominee may not be able to transfer the Common Stock to another broker or nominee and continue to participate in the Plan. Investors who own Common Stock registered in street name should consult their broker or nominee for details regarding reinvestment.

The number of shares of Common Stock distributed to participants in the Plan in lieu of a cash dividend is determined in the following manner. Whenever the market price per share of the Fund's Common Stock is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per share on the valuation date, participants in the Plan will be issued new shares valued at the higher of net asset value or 95% of the then current market value. Otherwise, Computershare will buy shares of the Fund's Common Stock in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, on or shortly after the payment date of the dividend or distribution and continuing until the ex-dividend date of the Fund's next distribution to holders of the Common Stock or until it has expended for such purchases all of the cash that would otherwise be payable to the participants. The number of purchased shares that will then be credited to the participants' accounts will be based on the average per share purchase price of the shares so purchased, including brokerage commissions. If Computershare commences purchases in the open market and the then current market price of the shares (plus any estimated brokerage commissions) subsequently exceeds their net asset value most recently determined before the completion of the purchases, Computershare will attempt to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the Fund to issue the remaining dividend or distribution in shares. In this case, the number of shares received by the participant will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares. These remaining shares will be issued by the Fund at the higher of net asset value or 95% of the then current market value.

Plan participants are not subject to any charge for reinvesting dividends or capital gains distributions. Each Plan participant will, however, bear a proportionate share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to Computershare's open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions. For the six months ended May 31, 2025, $929 in brokerage commissions were incurred.

The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will not relieve Plan participants of any income tax that may be payable on the dividends or capital gains distributions. A participant in the Plan will be treated for Federal income tax purposes as having received, on the dividend payment date, a dividend or distribution in an amount equal to the cash that the participant could have received instead of shares.

In addition to acquiring shares of Common Stock through the reinvestment of cash dividends and distributions, a shareholder may invest any further amounts from $100 to $3,000 semi-annually at the then current market price in shares purchased through the Plan. Such semi-annual investments are subject to any brokerage commission charges incurred by Computershare under the Plan.

------

A shareholder whose Common Stock is registered in his or her own name may terminate participation in the Plan at any time by notifying Computershare in writing, by completing the form on the back of the Plan account statement and forwarding it to Computershare, or by calling Computershare, directly. A termination will be effective immediately if notice is received by Computershare not less than 10 days before any dividend or distribution record date. Otherwise, the termination will be effective, and only with respect to any subsequent dividends or distributions, on the first day after the dividend or distribution has been credited to the participant's account in additional shares of the Fund. Upon termination and according to a participant's instructions, Computershare will either (a) issue certificates for the whole shares credited to the shareholder's Plan account and a check representing any fractional shares or (b) sell the shares in the market. Shareholders who hold Common Stock registered in the name of a broker or other nominee should consult their broker or nominee to terminate participation.

The Plan is described in more detail in the Fund's Plan brochure. Information concerning the Plan may be obtained from Computershare at 1-866-351-7446.

**BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF CONTINUANCE OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT**

On January 22, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Flaherty & Crumrine Dynamic Preferred and Income Fund (the "Fund") approved the continuation of the existing investment advisory agreement with Flaherty & Crumrine Incorporated (the "Adviser") (the "Agreement"). The following paragraphs summarize certain information and factors considered by the Board, including the Board members who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Fund, as well as their conclusions relative to such factors.

In considering whether to approve the Fund's Agreement, the Board members considered and discussed a substantial amount of information and analysis provided, at the Board's request, by the Adviser. The Board members also considered detailed information regarding performance and expenses of other investment companies thought to be generally comparable to the Fund. The Board members discussed with Fund management this and other information relating to the Agreement during the January Special Meeting held on January 15, 2025 for that specific purpose. In reaching their determinations relating to the continuance of the Agreement, the Board members considered these discussions and all other factors they believed relevant, including the factors discussed below and information obtained during their multi-year experience as directors of the Fund. In their deliberations, the Board members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and Board members may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board members discussed, among other things, the following with respect to the Fund.

**Nature, Extent and Quality of Services**

The Board members reviewed the nature and extent of services provided by the Adviser and the quality of those services over the past year and prior years. The Board members noted that these services included managing the Fund's investment program as well as the continued provision of significant administrative services beyond what the Agreement required. The Board members noted that the Adviser also provided, generally at its expense: office facilities for use by the Fund; personnel responsible for supervising the performance of administrative, accounting and related services; and investment compliance monitoring. The Board members also considered the Adviser's sound financial condition and the Adviser's commitment to its business. The Board members evaluated the Adviser's services based on their direct experience serving as Directors for many years, noting (i) the Adviser's knowledge of the preferred securities market generally, (ii) the Adviser's internal resources dedicated to identifying opportunities to add additional value and (iii) the Adviser's culture of compliance. The Board members reviewed the personnel responsible for providing services to the Fund and observed that, based on their experience and interaction with the Adviser: (1) the Adviser's personnel exhibited a high level of personal integrity, diligence and attention to detail in carrying out their responsibilities under the Agreement; (2) the Adviser was responsive to requests of the Board, and its personnel were available between Board meetings to answer questions from Board members; and (3) the Adviser had kept the Board apprised of developments relating to the Fund. The Board members also considered continued efforts undertaken by the Adviser to maintain an effective compliance program. The Board members concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided were reasonable and appropriate in relation to the Fund's investment goals and strategies, the corporate and regulatory environment in which the Fund operates and the level of services provided by the Adviser, and that the quality of the Adviser's service continues to be high.

**Investment Performance**

The Board members took note of the Adviser's continued adherence to its investment discipline. The Board members were provided with information regarding the Fund's total return on net asset value ("NAV") performance in comparison to its peer funds for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. This information showed that the Fund performed just below the peer group average for the 1-year period, trailed the peer group average for the 3-year period, and at or above the peer group average for the 5- and 10-year periods. The Board members reviewed the Fund's performance compared to relevant indices and funds thought to be generally comparable to the Fund and took note of differences between the Fund and certain funds in the comparison group. The Board members also reviewed relative fees and expenses of the Fund and the funds in the comparison group, including comparative advisory fee, administration fee and total expense ratios, and noted that the Fund had below average advisory fees, below average combined advisory/administration fees, and below average total expense ratio.

**Profitability**

The Board members considered the Adviser's methodology for determining its profitability with respect to the Fund, and the Adviser's profit margin on an after-tax basis attributable to managing the Fund based on two expense allocation methods discussed with the Board. The Board members also considered that the Adviser provided, for a lower fee, similar investment services to separate account clients and determined that the difference was justified in light of the additional services and costs associated with managing registered investment companies, such as the Fund. The Board members were advised by the Adviser that it did not realize material indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund and did not obtain soft dollar credits from securities trading.

**Economies of Scale**

The Board members considered whether economies of scale could be realized because the Adviser advises other similar funds. The Board members acknowledged that, because the Adviser's portfolio management is focused exclusively on preferred securities, certain economies of scale could be realized across all of the Adviser's clients in terms of research and portfolio management and that these economies are shared by all of the Adviser's clients both through the overall level of fees and through reinvestment in the Adviser's business with technology, added personnel and infrastructure. The Board members also noted that the Fund's advisory fee schedule declines as assets increase beyond a certain level (commonly known as a "breakpoint"), and that breakpoints provide for a sharing with shareholders of benefits derived as a result of potential economies of scale.

In light of their discussions and considerations as described above, the Board members made the following determinations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser are reasonable and appropriate, and the quality of the services is high;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the Fund's overall performance over time has been satisfactory, given the Fund's investment policies and strategies and the Adviser's adherence to them;

Flaherty & Crumrine Dynamic Preferred and Income Fund Incorporated

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the fee paid to the Adviser was reasonable in light of (i) comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information considered over relevant time periods, (ii) the cost of the services provided and profits realized, and (iii) the benefits derived or to be derived by the Adviser from the relationship with the Fund; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•as a closed-end Fund, there were limited opportunities to generate significant economies of scale by the Adviser as the Fund's assets grew, however, the investment advisory fee was structured to provide for a sharing of the benefits of economies of scale with shareholders.

Based on these conclusions and their discussions of the Contract Renewal Materials among themselves and with Fund management, the Board members determined to approve the continuation of the Agreement.

Subsequent to its meeting on January 22, 2025, the Adviser informed the Board that the Adviser is undergoing an internal restructuring in which shares in the Adviser held by former principals are repurchased and reallocated to the current members of management. The Adviser informed the Board that this restructuring could be viewed as a change of control of the Adviser, resulting in the assignment and automatic termination of the current investment advisory agreement for the Fund. The Board met on February 24, 2025 to discuss the approval of a new advisory contract for the Fund to be effective upon the completion of the change of control transaction.

At the February meeting, the Adviser confirmed that the proposed new advisory agreement was identical to the existing agreement in all respects except for the date of the new agreement and its initial term. The Board considered the new advisory agreement after considering the information provided in connection with the January meeting and representations from the Adviser that there were no material changes to that information and confirmation from the Adviser that there would be no changes in the level of services or fees associated with the new advisory agreement. The Board considered substantially the same information discussed above and approved the new advisory agreement at its February 24, 2025 meeting, subject to approval by shareholders of the Fund. The substance of the Board's consideration of the new advisory agreement is contained in the definitive proxy statement to shareholders on Schedule 14A dated March 17, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2025.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICY & RISK (Unaudited)

------

*Since the Fund's last annual report to common stock shareholders, there have been no material changes to the Fund's investment objective, policies or principal risk factors.*

**Investment Objective and Policies**

The Fund's investment objective is to seek total return, with an emphasis on high current income. The Fund's investment objective is considered non-fundamental and may be changed by the Fund's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") without shareholder approval. However, the Fund's investment objective and its 80% policy described below may only be changed upon 60 days' prior written notice to the Fund's shareholders.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Managed Assets (defined below) in a portfolio of preferred and other income-producing securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies. Preferred and other income-producing securities may include, among other things, traditional preferred stock, trust preferred securities, hybrid securities that have characteristics of both equity and debt securities, contingent capital securities ("CoCos"), subordinated debt and senior debt. "Managed Assets" are the Fund's net assets, plus the principal amount of loans from financial institutions or debt securities issued by the Fund, the liquidation preference of preferred stock issued by the Fund, if any, and the proceeds of any reverse repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund.

The Fund will invest, under normal market conditions, more than 25% of its total assets in the financials sector, which for this purpose is comprised of the bank, thrifts & mortgage finance, diversified financial services, finance, consumer finance, capital markets, asset management & custody, investment banking & brokerage, insurance, insurance brokerage and real estate investment trust ("REIT") industries. From time to time, the Fund may have 25% or more of its total assets invested in any one of these industries. For example, the Fund could have more than 25% of its total assets in insurance companies, while at other times it could have that portion invested in banks. At all times, though, the Fund would have at least 25% of its total assets invested in the financials sector. In addition, the Fund also may focus its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, utilities, communications and pipelines. The Adviser retains broad discretion to allocate the Fund's investments as it deems appropriate considering current market and credit conditions.

The Fund may invest up to 100% of its Managed Assets in securities of U.S. companies, and may also invest up to 100% of its Managed Assets in securities of non-U.S. companies. In addition, the Fund may invest its Managed Assets in U.S. dollar-denominated American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), U.S. dollar-denominated foreign stocks traded on U.S. exchanges and U.S. dollar-denominated and non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities issued by companies organized or headquartered in foreign countries and/or doing significant business outside the United States.

The Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in (i) investment grade quality securities or (ii) below investment grade quality securities of companies with investment grade senior unsecured debt outstanding, in either case determined at the time of purchase. In addition, for purposes of this 80% policy, such securities may include unrated securities that the Adviser deems to be comparable in quality to rated issues in which the Fund is authorized to invest. Some of the Fund's Managed Assets may be invested in securities rated (or issued by companies rated) below investment grade at the time of purchase. Securities that are rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk bonds." Securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay dividends and interest and repayment of principal. Due to the risks involved in investing in securities of below investment grade quality, an investment in the Fund should be considered speculative.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICY & RISK (Unaudited) (Continued)

------

The maturities of securities in which the Fund will invest generally will be longer-term (perpetual, in the case of many preferred securities and CoCos, and ten years or more for other preferred and debt securities); however, as a result of changing market conditions and interest rates, the Fund may also invest in shorter-term securities. The Fund can buy securities of any maturity or duration. Duration is the sensitivity, expressed in years, of the price of a fixed-income security to changes in the general level of interest rates (or yields). Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate (or yield) changes than securities with shorter durations. For example, a three-year duration means a bond is expected to decrease in value by 3% if interest rates rise by 1% and increase in value by 3% if interest rates fall by 1%.

The portion of the Fund's Managed Assets not invested in preferred and other income-producing securities may be invested in, among other securities, common stocks, money market instruments, money market mutual funds, asset- backed securities, and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities ("Government Securities") and such obligations which are subject to repurchase agreements and commercial paper. Depending on market conditions, these investments may at times have a higher or lower yield than preferred securities and other income-producing securities in which the Fund invests.

Unless designated as a "fundamental" policy or restriction, the investment limitations and policies of the Fund may be changed by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval.

**Primary Investment Strategies and Techniques**

*Preferred Securities*. Preferred securities share many investment characteristics with both bonds and common stock; therefore, the risks and potential rewards of investing in the Fund may at times be similar to the risks of investing in equity-income funds or both equity funds and bond funds. Similar to bonds, preferred securities, which generally pay fixed- or adjustable-rate dividends or interest to investors, have preference over common stock in the payment of dividends or interest and the liquidation of a company's assets, which means that a company typically must pay dividends or interest on its preferred securities before paying any dividends on its common stock. On the other hand, like common stock, preferred securities are junior to all forms of the company's debt, including both senior and subordinated debt, and the company can skip or defer dividend or interest payments for extended periods of time without triggering an event of default. Further, different types of preferred securities can be junior or senior to other types of preferred securities in both priority of payment of dividends or interest and/or the liquidation of a company's assets.

Preferred securities can be structured differently for retail and institutional investors, and the Fund may purchase either structure. The retail segment is typified by $25 par securities that are listed on a stock exchange and which trade and are quoted with accreted dividend or interest income included in the price. The institutional segment is typified by $1,000 par value securities that are not exchange-listed, trade over-the-counter ("OTC") and are quoted on a "clean" price, i.e., without accrued dividend or interest income included in the price.

While preferred securities can be issued with a final maturity date, others (including most traditional preferred stock) are perpetual in nature. In certain instances, a final maturity date may be extended and/or the final payment of principal may be deferred at the issuer's option for a specified time without any adverse consequence to the issuer. No redemption can typically take place unless all cumulative payment obligations to preferred security investors have been met, although issuers may be able to engage in open-market repurchases without regard to any cumulative dividends or interest payable, and many preferred securities are non-cumulative, whereby the issuer does not have an obligation to make up any arrearages to holders of such securities.

*Debt Securities*. The Fund may invest in a variety of debt securities, including corporate senior or subordinated debt securities and U.S. government securities. Corporate debt securities are fixed-income securities issued by businesses to finance their operations. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or variable rate of interest and normally must repay the amount borrowed on or before maturity. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most common types of corporate debt securities, with the primary difference being their maturities and secured or unsecured status.

*Contingent Capital Securities*. Contingent capital securities or "CoCos" have features similar to preferred and other income producing securities but also include "loss absorption" or mandatory conversion provisions that make the securities more like equity. An automatic write-down or conversion event is typically triggered by a reduction in the capital level of the issuer, but may also be triggered by regulatory actions (e.g., a change in capital requirements) or by other factors.

*Illiquid Securities*. The Fund may invest without limit in instruments that lack a secondary trading market or are otherwise considered illiquid. Generally, illiquid securities are securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the value at which the Fund has valued the securities.

*Fundamental Investment Restrictions*. The Fund has adopted certain fundamental investment restrictions that may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities, voting together as a single class, and of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares voting as a separate class. A "majority of the outstanding voting securities" for this purpose means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the Common Shares and, if issued, preferred stock ("Preferred Shares") present at a meeting of the shareholders, voting together as single class, if the holders of more than 50% of such shares are present or represented by proxy at the meeting, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares and outstanding Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class. A majority of the Fund's outstanding Preferred Shares for this purpose is more than half of the outstanding Preferred Shares. For purposes of the restrictions listed below, all percentage limitations apply immediately after acquisition, and any subsequent change in any applicable percentage resulting from market fluctuations does not require elimination or reduction of any security from the Fund's portfolio. Under its fundamental restrictions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.The Fund may not issue senior securities (including borrowing money for other than temporary purposes) except in conformity with the limits set forth in the 1940 Act or pursuant to exemptive relief therefrom; or pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets other than to secure such issuances or borrowings or in connection with permitted investment strategies, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.The Fund may not act as an underwriter of securities issued by other persons, except insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter in connection with the disposition of securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate, except that the Fund may invest in securities of companies that deal in real estate or are engaged in the real estate business, including REITs, and loans and other securities secured by real estate or interests therein, and the Fund may hold and sell real estate acquired through default, liquidation, or other distributions of an interest in real estate as a result of the Fund's ownership of such securities and loans.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICY & RISK (Unaudited) (Continued)

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.The Fund may not make loans to other persons except through the lending of securities held by it or in connection with permitted investment strategies (but not to exceed a value of one-third of total assets), through the use of repurchase agreements, by the purchase of debt securities and in connection with permitted investment strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.The Fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities of issuers in a single industry, except that (i) this limitation will not be applicable to the purchase of Government Securities and (ii) the Fund will invest, under normal market conditions, more than at least 25% of its total assets in the financials sector, which for this purpose is comprised of the bank, thrifts & mortgage finance, diversified financial services, finance, consumer finance, capital markets, asset management & custody, investment banking & brokerage, insurance, insurance brokerage and REIT industries. From time to time, the Fund may have 25% or more of its total assets invested in any one of these industries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.The Fund may purchase and sell commodities or commodity contracts, including futures contracts, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

With respect to investment restriction number 5, the Fund, for example, could have more than 25% of its total assets in insurance companies, while at other times it could have that portion invested in banks. At all times, though, the Fund would have at least 25% of its total assets invested in the financials sector. In addition, the Fund also may focus its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, utilities, and pipelines. The Adviser retains broad discretion to allocate the Fund's investments as it deems appropriate in light of current market and credit conditions.

The Fund is currently classified as "diversified" under the 1940 Act. In general, this means that the Fund may not purchase securities of an issuer (other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the US Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and securities of other investment companies) if, with respect to 75% of its total assets, (a) more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or (b) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. With respect to the remaining 25% of its total assets, the Fund can invest more than 5% of its assets in one issuer. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund cannot change its classification from diversified to non-diversified without shareholder approval.

**Principal Risks of the Fund**

The Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company designed primarily as a long-term investment and not as a trading vehicle. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program and, due to the uncertainty inherent in all investments, there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Different risks may be more significant at different times depending on market conditions.

*Market Events Risk*. Market disruption can be caused by economic, financial or political events and factors, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts (including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine), geopolitical developments (including trading and tariff arrangements, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks), instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health epidemics (including the outbreak of COVID-19 globally).

Flaherty & Crumrine Dynamic Preferred and Income Fund Incorporated

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICY & RISK (Unaudited) (Continued)

------

The extent and duration of such events and resulting market disruptions cannot be predicted, but could be substantial and could magnify the impact of other risks to the Fund. These and other similar events could adversely affect the U.S. and foreign financial markets and lead to increased market volatility, reduced liquidity in the securities markets, significant negative impacts on issuers and the markets for certain securities and commodities and/or government intervention. They may also cause short- or long-term economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments may be negatively impacted.

*Preferred, Contingent Capital and Other Subordinated Securities Risk*. Preferred, contingent capital and other subordinated securities rank lower than bonds and other debt instruments in a company's capital structure and therefore are subject to greater credit risk than those debt instruments. Distributions on some types of these securities may also be skipped or deferred by issuers without causing a default. Finally, some of these securities typically have special redemption rights that allow the issuer to redeem the security at par earlier than scheduled. If this occurs, the Fund may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities.

*Contingent Capital Securities Risk*. Contingent capital securities or "CoCos" have features and risks similar to preferred and other income producing securities but also include "loss absorption" or mandatory conversion provisions and restrictions on dividend or interest payments that make the securities more like equity. This is particularly true in the financial sector, the largest preferred issuer segment.

In one version of a CoCo, the security has loss absorption characteristics whereby the liquidation value of the security may be adjusted downward to below the original par value (even to zero) under certain circumstances. This may occur, for instance, in the event that business losses have eroded capital to a substantial extent. The write down of the par value would occur automatically and would not entitle the holders to seek bankruptcy of the company. In addition, an automatic write-down could result in a reduced income rate if the dividend or interest payment is based on the security's par value. Such securities may, but are not required to, provide for circumstances under which the liquidation value may be adjusted back up to par, such as an improvement in capitalization and/or earnings.

Another version of a CoCo provides for mandatory conversion of the security into common shares of the issuer under certain circumstances. The mandatory conversion might relate, for instance, to maintenance of a capital minimum, whereby falling below the minimum would trigger automatic conversion. Since the common stock of the issuer may not pay a dividend, investors in these instruments could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero, and conversion would deepen the subordination of the investor, hence worsening the Fund's standing in a bankruptcy. In addition, some such instruments also provide for an automatic write-down if the price of the common stock is below the conversion price on the conversion date.

An automatic write-down or conversion event is typically triggered by a reduction in the capital level of the issuer, but may also be triggered by regulatory actions (e.g., a change in capital requirements) or by other factors. In addition, interest or dividend payments may be reduced or eliminated if certain earnings or capital levels are breached.

*Trust Preferred Securities Risk*. Some preferred securities are issued by trusts or other special purpose entities established by operating companies and are not a direct obligation of an operating company. In some cases, when investing in hybrid-preferred securities issued by trusts or other special purpose entities, the Fund may not have recourse against the operating company in the event that the trust or other special purpose entity cannot pay the obligation and therefore, the Fund may lose some or all of the value of its investments in thehybrid-preferred security.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICY & RISK (Unaudited) (Continued)

*Concentration Risk*. The Fund invests 25% or more of its total assets in the financials sector. This policy makes the Fund more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting the financials sector.

*Financials Sector Risk*. The financials sector is especially subject to the adverse effects of economic recession, currency exchange rates, government regulation, decreases in the availability of capital, volatile interest rates, portfolio concentrations in geographic markets and in commercial and residential real estate loans, and competition from new entrants in their fields of business.

U.S. and foreign laws and regulations require banks and bank holding companies to maintain minimum levels of capital and liquidity and to establish loan loss reserves. A bank's failure to maintain specified capital ratios may trigger dividend restrictions, suspensions on payments on subordinated debt, preferred securities and contingent capital securities, and limitations on growth. Bank regulators have broad authority in these instances and can ultimately impose sanctions, such as imposing resolution authority, conservatorship or receivership, on such non-complying banks even when these banks continue to be solvent, thereby possibly resulting in the elimination of stockholders' equity. Unless a bank holding company has subsidiaries other than banks that generate substantial revenues, the holding company's cash flow and ability to declare dividends may be impaired severely by restrictions on the ability of its bank subsidiaries to declare dividends or ultimately to redeem its securities (as they mature).

Similarly, U.S. and foreign laws and regulations require insurance companies to maintain minimum levels of capital and liquidity. An insurance company's failure to maintain these capital ratios may also trigger dividend restrictions, suspensions on payments of subordinated debt, and limitations on growth. Insurance regulators (at the state-level in the United States) have broad authority in these instances and can ultimately impose sanctions, including conservatorship or receivership, on such non-complying insurance companies even when these companies continue to be solvent, thereby possibly resulting in the elimination of shareholders' equity. In addition, insurance regulators have extensive authority in some categories of insurance of approving premium levels and setting required levels of underwriting.

Companies engaged in stock brokerage, commodity brokerage, investment banking, investment management or related investment advisory services are closely tied economically to the securities and commodities markets and can suffer during a decline in either market. These companies also are subject to the regulatory environment and changes in regulations, pricing pressure, the availability of funds to borrow and interest rates.

*Credit Risk*. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a security will be unable or unwilling to make dividend, interest and principal payments when due and the related risk that the value of a security may decline because of concerns about the issuer's ability to make such payments. Credit risk may be heightened for the Fund because the Fund may invest in "high yield" or "high risk" securities; such securities, while generally offering higher yields than investment grade securities with similar maturities, involve greater risks, including the possibility of default or bankruptcy, and are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay dividends and interest and repay principal.

*High Yield Securities Risk*. Although high yield securities generally pay higher rates of interest than investment grade securities, high yield securities are high-risk investments that may cause income and principal losses for the Fund. High yield securities may be issued by less creditworthy issuers. Issuers of high yield securities may have a larger amount of outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment grade securities. In the event of an issuer's bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claimsof high yield bond holders, for example, leaving few or no assets available to repay high yield bond holders. Prices of high yield securities are subject to

Flaherty & Crumrine Dynamic Preferred and Income Fund Incorporated

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICY & RISK (Unaudited) (Continued)

------

extreme price fluctuations. Adverse changes in an issuer's industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of high yield securities than on other higher rated fixed-income securities. Issuers of high yield securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing. High yield securities frequently have redemption features that permit an issuer to repurchase the security from the Fund before it matures. If the issuer redeems high yield securities, the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields and may lose income. High yield securities may be less liquid than higher rated fixed-income securities, even under normal economic conditions. There may be significant differences in the prices quoted for high yield securities by dealers in the market. Because they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund's securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market. The Fund may incur expensesto the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting issuer. The credit rating of a high yield security does not necessarily address its market value risk. Ratings and market value may change from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.

*Credit Agency Risk*. Credit ratings are determined by credit rating agencies and are the opinions of such entities. A rating assigned by a rating agency is not an absolute standard of credit quality and does not evaluate a security's market risk or liquidity. Any shortcomings or inefficiencies in credit rating agencies' processes for determining credit ratings may adversely affect the credit ratings of securities held by the Fund and, as a result, may adversely affect those securities' perceived or actual credit risk.

*Interest Rate and Duration Risk*. Interest rate risk is the risk that securities will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. For fixed rate securities, when market interest rates rise, the market value of such securities generally will fall. Investments in fixed rate securities with long-term maturities may experience significant price declines if long-term interest rates increase. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities may be extended because of slower than expected redemptions or prepayments. This may lock in a below- market yield, increase the security's sensitivity to changes in interest rates ("duration") and further reduce the value of the security. Fixed rate securities with longer durations tend to be more volatile than securities with shorter durations. The duration of a security will be expected to change over time with changes in market factors and time to maturity.

The market value of floating-rate and fixed-to-floating rate securities may fall in a declining interest rate environment and may also fall in a rising interest rate environment if there is a lag between the rise in interest rates and the interest rate reset. A secondary risk associated with declining interest rates is the risk that income earned by the Fund on floating-rate and fixed-to-floating rate securities may decline due to lower coupon payments on floating-rate securities.

*Liquidity Risk*. The Fund may invest, without limit, in illiquid securities. From time to time, certain securities held by the Fund may have limited marketability and may be difficult to sell at favorable times or prices. It is possible that certain securities held by the Fund will not be able to be sold in sufficient amounts or in a sufficiently timely manner to raise the cash necessary to meet the Fund's obligations, including potential repayment of leverage borrowings, if any.

*Foreign Investment Risk*. Because the Fund may invest its assets in foreign instruments, the value of Fund shares can be adversely affected by political and economic developments abroad. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States, and as a result, Fund share values may be more volatile. Trading in foreign markets typically involves higher expense than trading inthe United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Foreign legal systems generally have

Flaherty & Crumrine Dynamic Preferred and Income Fund Incorporated

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICY & RISK (Unaudited) (Continued)

------

fewer regulatory requirements than the U.S. legal system, particularly those of emerging markets. In general, less information is publicly available with respect to non-U.S. companies than U.S. companies. Non-U.S. companies generally are not subject to the same accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards as are U.S. companies.

*Reinvestment Risk*. Reinvestment risk is the risk that income from the Fund's portfolio will decline if the Fund invests proceeds from matured, traded or redeemed securities at market interest rates that are below the Fund portfolio's current earnings rate. For example, during periods of declining interest rates, the issuer of a security may exercise its option to redeem a security, causing the Fund to reinvest the proceeds into lower-yielding securities, which may result in a decline in the Fund's income and distributions to Common Shareholders.

*Selection Risk*. Selection risk is the risk that the securities selected by Fund management will under-perform the markets, the relevant indices or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies.

*Management Risk*. The Fund is an actively managed portfolio and its success depends upon the investment skills and analytical abilities of the Adviser to develop and effectively implement strategies that achieve the Fund's investment objective. Decisions made by the Adviser may cause the Fund to incur losses or to miss profit opportunities.

*Leverage Risk*. Leverage is a speculative technique and there are special risks and costs associated with leveraging. There is no assurance that leveraging strategy will be successful. Leverage involves risks and special considerations for holders of Common Shares, including: the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value, market price and dividend rate of the Common Shares than a comparable portfolio without leverage; the risk that fluctuations in the interest or dividend rates that the Fund must pay on any leverage will reduce the return on the holders of the Common Shares; the effect of leverage in a declining market, which is likely to cause a greater decline in the net asset value of the Common Shares than if the Fund were not leveraged, which may result in a greater decline in the market price of the Common Shares; when the Fund uses financial leverage, the management fees payable to the Adviser will be higher than if the Fund did not use leverage; and leverage may increase operating costs, which may reduce total return.

*Risk of Market Price Discount from Net Asset Value*. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that net asset value could decrease as a result of investment activities. We cannot predict whether the Common Shares will trade at, above or below net asset value.

*Valuation Risk*. Unlike publicly traded common stock that trades on national exchanges, there is no central place or exchange for trading some of the preferred and other income securities owned by the Fund. Preferred, contingent capital and debt securities generally trade on an OTC market which may be anywhere in the world where the buyer and seller can settle on a price. Due to the lack of centralized information and trading, the valuation of these securities may carry more risk than that of common stock. Uncertainties in the conditions of the financial market, unreliable reference data, lack of transparency and inconsistency of valuation models and processes may lead to inaccurate asset pricing.

*Cybersecurity Risk*. Cybersecurity incidents, both intentional and unintentional, may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, cause the Fund, the Adviser, and/or their service providers (including, but not limited to, fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or

loss of operational functionality or prevent fund investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Fund or the Adviser. Cybersecurity incidents may result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders, and substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any future cybersecurity incidents. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests are also subject to cybersecurity risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cybersecurity incidents.

Given the risks described above, an investment in the Fund's Common Shares may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your ability to assume these risks before making an investment in the Fund.
