**PROXY STATEMENT**

**FOR 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS** 

**TO BE HELD MAY 21, 2026, AT 11:00 A.M. ATLANTIC STANDARD TIME** 

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the **Puerto Rico Residents Tax-Free Fund V, Inc.**, a Puerto Rico corporation (the "Fund"), for use at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held virtually on May 21, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Atlantic Standard Time (11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "2026 Annual Meeting").

The Fund's Annual Report, which includes its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, has been mailed to all holders of shares of the Fund's common stock. **Any shareholder that would like to receive additional copies of the Fund's Annual Report or copies of any subsequent shareholder report (including the most recent Semi-Annual Report succeeding the Annual Report, if any) free of charge should contact the Fund by writing to the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement or by calling toll-free 1-800-221-9825**. This Proxy Statement is first being mailed to the shareholders on or about April 21, 2026.

If the accompanying proxy is executed and returned in time to be voted at the 2026 Annual Meeting, the shares of common stock represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked thereon, the proxy will be voted (i) FOR ALL of the nominees named in such proxy to be elected as members of the Board of Directors, and (ii) to the extent authorized under Rule 14a-4(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in the discretion of the proxies named therein with respect to such other business as may properly come before the 2026 Annual Meeting. Any shareholder who has given a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise, either by attending the 2026 Annual Meeting and voting their shares in person or by submitting a letter of revocation or a later-dated proxy that is, in either case, received prior to the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting.

The presence at the 2026 Annual Meeting virtually or representation by proxy of the holders of more than one-half of the outstanding shares of common stock will constitute a quorum. In the event a quorum is present at the 2026 Annual Meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposed items are not received, the presiding officer of the 2026 Annual Meeting may decide to adjourn the 2026 Annual Meeting without any action by the shareholders to permit further solicitation of proxies. Additionally, the presiding officer of the 2026 Annual Meeting may decide to adjourn the 2026 Annual Meeting without any action by the shareholders whenever the requisite quorum has not been obtained to permit further solicitation of proxies.

**QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE MEETING** 

**Q. Why did you send me these proxy materials?** 

A. This booklet
 contains a Notice of Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of the Fund, a Proxy Statement that describes
 the matters to be considered at the 2026 Annual Meeting and provides related information and a Proxy.
 You are receiving these proxy materials because you own, directly or through a broker-dealer, bank, or
 other intermediary, shares of the Fund.

**Q. Who is entitled to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting?** 

A. Each shareholder
 is entitled to one vote for each full share of common stock held and a corresponding fraction of a vote
 for each fractional share of common stock held by the shareholder at the close of business on April 6,
 2026.

**Q. Who is asking for my vote?** 

A. The Board of
 Directors of the Fund is asking you to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting to vote FOR ALL of Agustín
 Cabrer, Clotilde Pérez and Jorge I. Vallejo to be elected as Directors of the Fund.

**Q. What am I being asked to consider in connection with the 2026 Annual Meeting?** 

A. You are being
 asked to consider and vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To
 elect three directors of the Fund (PROPOSAL 1); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To
 transact such other business as may properly come before the 2026 Annual Meeting or any adjournment
 or postponement thereof.

**Q. How does the Board of Directors recommend that the Fund's shareholders vote on the proposal?** 

A. After careful
 consideration, the Board of Directors, including all the Independent Directors (as defined below), recommends
 that the shareholders vote FOR ALL on the proposal to elect Agustín Cabrer, Clotilde Pérez
 and Jorge I. Vallejo as Directors of the Fund.

**Q. What is the required shareholder vote for approval of the proposal?** 

A. In the election
 of Directors of the Fund (Proposal 1), the nominees will be elected by a plurality of votes cast at the
 2026 Annual Meeting. In other words, if more than three persons are lawfully nominated for election at
 the 2026 Annual Meeting, only the three nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the 2026
 Annual Meeting will be elected. Alternatively, in the event the only nominees standing for election are
 the three nominees of the Board of Directors then each such nominee will be elected so long as they receive
 at least one vote in favor of their election.

**Q. How do I vote if I am a shareholder of record?** 

A. You have three
 options to vote your shares in the Fund:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• By
 Internet:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Find
 the 16-digit control number on the accompanying proxy card sent to you in the mail. If you
 cannot find your proxy card, please contact your financial advisor or custodian for assistance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Go
 to www.proxyvote.com, enter your control number and follow the simple on-screen instructions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. If
 you have multiple investments, be sure to scroll down after you submit your initial voting
 instructions, for other ballots that may be outstanding for this and other meetings which
 would be listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• By
 Mail:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Sign
 and date the accompanying proxy card sent to you in the mail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Mail
 back with the enclosed business reply envelope.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Please
 note that there may be multiple mailings, so once you have voted the proxy card, you may
 discard any future mailings you receive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At
 the Virtual Meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Register
 at https://viewproxy.com/UBSPuertoRico/broadridgevsm/ no later than 5:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard
 Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time) on May 19, 2026.

**Q. How do I vote if I am a beneficial shareholder with my shares held in street name?** 

A. If you are a
 street name shareholder, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee.
 You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to direct
 your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Street name shareholders should generally
 be able to vote by telephone or by Internet or by signing, dating and returning a voting instruction
 form. However, the availability of telephone and Internet voting will depend on the voting process of
 your broker, bank or other nominee. If you are a street name shareholder, you may not vote your shares
 by ballot at the 2026 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other
 nominee.

**Q. What is a proxy?** 

A. A proxy is your
 legal designation of another person to vote the shares you own. That other person is called a proxy.
 If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is also called a proxy or
 a proxy card. Mr. Edward Ramos and Ms. Maria L. Vilaró have been designated as the Fund's
 proxy holders by the Fund's Board of Directors for the 2026 Annual Meeting. When proxies are properly
 dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the 2026 Annual
 Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder.

**Q. Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?** 

A. Yes. If you
 are a shareholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy by attending the 2026 Annual
 Meeting and voting your shares virtually or by submitting a letter of revocation or a later-dated proxy
 that is, in either case, received prior to the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting. If you are a street name
 shareholder, your broker, bank or other nominee can provide you with instructions on how to change your
 vote.

**Q. What should I do if I receive more than one proxy card or set of proxy materials from the Fund?** 

A. Your shares
 may be owned through more than one brokerage or other share ownership account. In order to vote all of
 the shares that you own in accordance with the recommendations of the Fund's Board of Directors,
 you must use each proxy card you receive in order to vote with respect to each account by telephone,
 by Internet, or by signing, dating and returning the proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

**Q. How will my shares be voted if I return the accompanying proxy card?** 

A. The shares represented
 by the accompanying form of proxy will be voted in accordance with the specifications made on the proxy
 if it is properly executed and received by the Fund prior to or at the 2026 Annual Meeting.

Where a choice has been specified on the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement with respect to the proposal, the shares represented by such proxy card will be voted in accordance with the specifications therein.

The Directors do not intend to present any other business at the 2026 Annual Meeting nor are they aware that any shareholder intends to do so. If, however, any other matters are properly brought before the 2026 Annual Meeting, in accordance with the Fund's By-Laws, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote thereon in accordance with their judgment.

If you return the accompanying proxy card that has been validly executed without indicating how your shares should be voted on a matter and you do not revoke your proxy, your proxy will be voted (i) FOR ALL of the Director Nominees (Proposal 1), and (ii) to the extent authorized under Rule 14a-4(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in the discretion of the proxies named therein with respect to such other business as may properly come before the 2026 Annual Meeting.

**Q. Will my shares be voted if I do nothing?** 

A. Pursuant to
 New York Stock Exchange rules applicable to brokers, if a broker has not been provided with competing
 proxy materials (in addition to the Fund's proxy materials) for distribution to you, the broker
 will be prohibited from exercising discretionary authority with respect to any of the proposals to be
 voted on with respect to your account, unless you provide the broker with specific voting instructions.
 In these cases, those shares will not be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.
 In other words, unless you provide your broker with specific voting instructions, the broker is not permitted
 to provide a proxy with respect to your shares, and, accordingly, such shares will not count as present
 for quorum purposes. If the broker has not been provided with competing proxy materials for distribution
 to you, the broker may vote your shares without your specific instruction with respect to routine proposals,
 including, in that case, Proposal 1 to elect the Director Nominees. In that case, if your broker casts
 a discretionary vote on Proposal 1, a "broker non-vote" will occur as to any other proposal
 on which you have not given specific voting instructions; such shares will count for the purpose of determining
 whether a quorum is present; and any such broker non-vote will not be considered a vote cast on any such
 proposal.

**YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT.** To ensure that your shares are represented at the 2026 Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote TODAY by following the instructions on the accompanying proxy card to vote by Internet or telephone, or by signing, dating and returning the proxy card, whether or not you plan to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the proxy or proxies you appointed cast your votes. If your bank, broker or other nominee is the holder of record of your shares (i.e., your shares are held in "street name"), you will receive voting instructions from such holder of record. You must follow these instructions in order for your shares to be voted. We urge you to instruct your broker or other nominee, by following the instructions on the accompanying proxy card, to vote your shares in line with the Board of Directors' recommendations on the proxy card.

**Q. What is a quorum?** 

A. A quorum is
 the minimum number of shares required to be present at the 2026 Annual Meeting to properly hold an annual
 meeting of shareholders and conduct business under the By-Laws and Puerto Rican law. Without a quorum,
 no business may be transacted at the 2026 Annual Meeting. The presence at the 2026 Annual Meeting virtually
 or representation by proxy of the holders of more than one-half of the outstanding shares will constitute
 a quorum.

Abstentions and withhold votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. If your broker is provided with competing proxy materials (in addition to the Fund's proxy materials) for distribution to you, your broker will be prohibited from exercising discretionary authority with respect to any of the proposals to be voted on with respect to your shares, unless you provide the broker with specific voting instructions. In these cases, those shares will not be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. If the broker has not been provided with competing proxy materials, the broker may vote your shares without your specific instruction with respect to routine proposals, including, in that case, Proposal 1 to elect the Director Nominees. In these cases, if your broker casts a discretionary vote on Proposal 1, a "broker non-vote" will occur as to any other proposal on which you have not given specific voting instructions, and such shares will count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

**Q. How will the 2026 Annual Meeting be conducted?** 

A. The 2026 Annual
 Meeting will be conducted virtually, and any shareholder wishing to participate in the 2026 Annual Meeting
 by means of remote communication can do so. If you were a record holder of shares as of the close of
 business on the record date, April 6, 2026, please register at https://viewproxy.com/UBSPuertoRico/broadridgevsm/
 no later than 5:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time on May 19, 2026 to attend and vote at the 2026 Annual
 Meeting. Broadridge will then e-mail you the login information and instructions for attending and voting
 at the 2026 Annual Meeting.

**Q. If I can't attend the 2026 Annual Meeting, can I vote later?** 

A. No, any votes
 submitted after the closing of the polls at the 2026 Annual Meeting will not be counted. You do not need
 to attend the virtual Meeting to vote if you submitted your vote via proxy in advance of the 2026 Annual
 Meeting. Whether or not shareholders plan to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting, we urge shareholders to
 vote and submit their proxy in advance of the 2026 Annual Meeting by one of the methods described in
 the proxy materials.

**Q. Who can help answer any other questions I may have?** 

A. If you have
 any questions or require any assistance with voting your shares, or if you need additional copies of
 the proxy materials, please contact the Fund in writing at 270 Munoz Rivera Ave, Suite 1110 San Juan,
 Puerto Rico 00918.

**YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF YOUR HOLDINGS IN THE FUND. WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE MEETING, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE COMPLETE, SIGN AND DATE THE PROXY CARD DELIVERED TO YOU AND RETURN IT PROMPTLY. RETURNING YOUR PROXY CARD WILL NOT PREVENT YOU FROM VOTING AT THE MEETING, BUT WILL ENSURE THAT YOUR VOTE IS COUNTED IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND.** 

**VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF** 

The close of business on April 6, 2026 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting and all adjournments and postponements thereof.

Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each full share of common stock held and a corresponding fraction of a vote for each fractional share of common stock held by the shareholder on April 6, 2026. On such date, there were 13,570,079 shares outstanding.

Please see "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" below for a list of each person or group of affiliated persons known by the Fund to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Fund's shares.

**PROPOSAL 1: TO ELECT THREE DIRECTORS OF THE FUND'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS** 

At the 2026 Annual Meeting, the following persons are to be nominated for election as members of the Fund's Board of Directors (the "Director Nominees"), each to hold office until the election meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified, or until his or her death, or until December 31 of the year in which he or she shall have reached eighty (80) years of age (except that (A) any director that has reached eighty (80) years of age as of December 31 of any given year may continue to serve on the Board (i) for the remaining term of the class such director was assigned to and (ii) one (1) additional term of such class, provided all the other directors vote in favor of either term of extension, and (B) any such extension will be through the end of the applicable term and until such Director's successor shall have been elected and qualified), or until he or she shall have resigned or been removed. The Board of Directors is divided into three classes, namely Class I, Class II, and Class III. Each year, the term of office of one class expires, and the re-election for such Class will be for a term of three years. Unless authority is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement to vote such proxy FOR ALL of the Director Nominees appearing below to be elected. Each Director Nominee has indicated that they will serve if elected, but if any Director Nominee should be unable to serve, the proxy will be voted for any other person determined by the attorneys-in-fact named in the proxy in accordance with their judgment.

Agustín Cabrer served as a member of the Board of Directors beginning on December 31, 2025. Ms. Clotilde Pérez and Jorge I. Vallejo served as members of the Board of Directors during the entirety of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Currently, none of the Director Nominees is an "interested person" as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. Members of the Board of Directors who are not "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act are referred to herein as "Independent Directors".

Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Fund Secretary at the address, within the timeframe and with the materials described in "Shareholder Proposals".

The Board of Directors intends to nominate the following persons to be elected as Directors:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Expiration of Term** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Agustín Cabrer | 2028 II |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Clotilde Pérez | 2029 III |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Jorge I. Vallejo | 2029 III |

---

As of April 6, 2026, the Directors and Officers of the Fund as a group beneficially owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares. The Fund's By-Laws define beneficial ownership to comprise all shares that a person, together with such person's affiliates and associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) may be deemed to beneficially own pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act, as well as all shares that such person, together with such person's affiliates and associates, has the right to become the beneficial owner pursuant to any agreement or understanding, or upon the exercise of warrants, options or rights to convert or exchange (whether such rights are exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the occurrence of conditions).

 

*The Board* 

The Board has designated Carlos Nido as Chairman of the Board of Directors. In that capacity, Mr. Nido presides at each meeting of the Board and, when appropriate, represents the views of the Board to management. The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate for the Fund because it enables the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over matters under its purview, allocates responsibility among committees in a manner that fosters effective oversight and allows the Board to devote appropriate resources to specific issues in a flexible manner as they arise. The Board periodically reviews its leadership structure as well as its overall structure, composition and functioning and may make changes in its discretion at any time.

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 the Fund's Board of Directors met five times. During that period, each of the Directors then in office attended 100% of the meetings of the Board of Directors (except for a director who attended 4 meetings). The aggregate remuneration by the Fund to Independent Directors then serving in such capacity for attendance at such meetings held during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 amounted to $20,000.

The Fund does not have a policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and none of the Directors attended the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

 

*Audit Committee* 

 

The Fund's Board of Directors has a separately designated Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, which is responsible for overseeing the Fund's accounting, financial reporting, and auditing policies and practices and for recommending to the Board of Directors any action to ensure that the Fund's accounting and financial reporting are consistent with acceptable accounting standards applicable to the mutual fund industry. The Board of Directors has adopted an Audit Committee Charter and Qualified Legal Compliance Committee Charter which was included with the Fund's proxy statement for the 2025 annual meeting. The Audit Committee is composed solely by Independent Directors, consisting of Ms. Pérez and Mr. Pagán. The Audit Committee is advised by independent legal counsel in connection with its duties. On December 31, 2025, Clotilde Pérez replaced Mr. Vila del Corral as chairperson and financial expert of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee met two times during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Each of the Independent Directors who were members of the Audit Committee during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, attended 100% of the Audit Committee meetings during such fiscal year. The aggregate remuneration by the Fund to the Independent Directors then serving in such capacity for attendance at such meetings during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, amounted to $2,285.72.

 

*Audit Fees* – The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young, LLP ("E&Y") for the audit of the Fund's annual financial statements and for services that are normally provided by E&Y in connection with statutory and regulatory filings for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025, and January 31, 2026, were $54,783 and $62,062, respectively.

 

*Audit Related Fees* – The aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services rendered by E&Y that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Fund's financial statements and are not reported as Audit Fees above for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025, and January 31, 2026, were $0 and $0, respectively. There were no audit-related fees required to be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the fiscal years indicated above.

 

*Tax Fees* – The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by E&Y for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning in the form of preparation of excise filings and income tax returns for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025, and January 31, 2026, were $10,357 and $10,714, respectively. There were no tax fees required to be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the fiscal years indicated above.

 

*All Other Fees* – The aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by E&Y, other than the services reported above, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025, and January 31, 2026, were $0 and $0, respectively. There were no "all other" fees required to be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the fiscal years indicated above.

The Fund's Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided to the Fund by the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm; provided, however, that the pre-approval requirement with respect to non-auditing services to the Fund may be waived consistent with the exceptions provided for in the Exchange Act.

All the audit and tax services described above for which E&Y billed the Fund fees for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025, and January 31, 2026, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025, and January 31, 2026, the Fund's Audit Committee did not waive the pre-approval requirement of any non-audit services to be provided to the Fund by E&Y.

The aggregate fees billed by E&Y for non-audit services rendered to the Fund, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025, and January 31, 2026, were $0 and $0, respectively.

The Audit Committee of the Fund's Board of Directors considered the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Fund's investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Fund's investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X and concluded that such services are compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

 

 

*Audit Committee Report.* The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Fund's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, with management of the Fund and with E&Y. The Audit Committee has received written disclosures and the letter required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as may be modified or supplemented, from E&Y, independent auditors for the Fund. The Audit Committee has discussed with E&Y its independence with respect to the Fund and certain matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No. 114, as may be modified or supplemented. E&Y meets the independence requirements under AICPA standards and is independent from the Fund considering the independence rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Following the Audit Committee's review and discussion regarding the audit of the Fund's financial statements with Fund management and E&Y, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Fund's audited financial statements for the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year be included in the Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders. In addition, pursuant to the request of the Independent Directors who serve on the Audit Committee, executive sessions were held throughout the year with E&Y and Fund management to discuss any concerns the Independent Directors may have had regarding the Fund. The Audit Committee is notified by Fund management or E&Y if any material concerns arise during the course of the audit and preparation of the audited financial statements and before they are mailed to shareholders as part of the Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders. The Audit Committee has not received any such notifications for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, as of the date of this Proxy Statement.

Clotilde Pérez, Chairperson of the Audit Committee

Gabriel Pagán, Member of the Audit Committee

 

*Dividend Committee* 

The Dividend Committee is responsible for the determination of the amount, the form, and record date of any dividends to be declared and paid by the Fund. The Dividend Committee has two members, Mr. Nido, who is an Independent Director and the sole member of the Dividend Committee, with one position vacant. The Dividend Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

*Compensation Committee* 

The Fund does not have a standing compensation committee.

 

*Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee* 

The Fund has a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee composed of two Independent Directors, Messrs. Pagán and Pellot. The principal responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are to identify individuals qualified to serve as Independent Directors of the Fund and to recommend its nominees for consideration by the full Board of Directors. The Independent Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with these duties. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of the Fund's Independent Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider nominations for the office of Director made by Fund shareholders as it deems appropriate. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Fund's Secretary that include biographical information and set forth the qualifications of the proposed nominee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates nominees from whatever source using the same standard. The Fund has adopted a written Charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee which was included with the Fund's proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was formed on May 19, 2021. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

In identifying and evaluating a potential nominee to serve as an Independent Director of a Fund, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider, among other factors, (i) the contribution that the person can make to the Board of Directors, with consideration being given to the person's business and professional experience, education, and such other factors as the Committee may consider relevant; (ii) the character and integrity of the person; (iii) whether or not the person is "independent" as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Director; (iv) whether or not the person has any business, charitable, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment adviser or managers of the Fund, any sub-adviser to the Fund, Fund service providers or their affiliates; (v) whether the individual is financially literate pursuant to applicable standards; (vi) whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related investment company complexes; (vii) whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary to perform the duties of a Fund Director; and (viii) whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the Fund's retirement policy.

*Board Diversification and Director Qualifications* 

In determining that a particular director was qualified to serve on the Board, the Board has considered each director's background, skills, experience, and other attributes in light of the composition of the Board with no particular factor controlling. The Board believes that directors need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question, and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties, and the Board believes each director satisfies this standard. An effective director may achieve this ability through his or her educational background; business, professional training or practice; public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member or executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. Accordingly, set forth below is a summary of the experiences, qualifications, attributes, and skills that led to the conclusion, as of the date of this document, that each director should continue to serve in that capacity. References to the experiences, qualifications, attributes, and skills of directors are pursuant to requirements of the SEC, do not constitute holding out of the Board or any director as having any special expertise or experience and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.

*Risk Oversight* 

The day-to-day operations of the Fund, including the management of risk, are performed by third party service providers, such as the Fund's investment adviser and the administrator. The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Fund's service providers and thus has oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management performed by those service providers. Risk management seeks to identify and address risks, i.e., events or circumstances that could have material adverse effects on the business, operations, shareholder services, investment performance or reputation of the Fund. The Fund and its service providers employ a variety of processes, procedures, and controls to identify certain of those possible events or circumstances, to lessen the probability of their occurrence and/or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur.

Not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified nor can controls be developed to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. It may not be practical or cost effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, the processes and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness, and some risks are simply beyond the reasonable control of the Fund or the investment adviser or other service providers. Moreover, it is necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve the Fund's goals. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Fund's ability to manage risk is subject to substantial limitations.

Risk oversight forms part of the Board's general oversight of the Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and Committee activities. As part of its regular oversight of the Fund, the Board, directly or through a committee, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others the Fund's investment adviser, the Fund's administrator, the Fund's chief compliance officer and its independent registered public accounting firm, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund. The Board is responsible for overseeing the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the investment adviser and receives information about those services at its regular meetings. In addition, on an annual basis, in connection with its consideration of whether to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board meets with the investment adviser to review the services provided. Among other things, the Board regularly considers the investment adviser's adherence to the Fund's investment restrictions and compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations. The Board has appointed a chief compliance officer who oversees the implementation and testing of the Fund's compliance program and reports to the Board regarding compliance matters for the Fund and its service providers. The Board, with the assistance of the investment adviser, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of the Fund's performance. In addition, as part of the Board's oversight of the Fund's advisory and other service provider agreements, the Board may periodically consider risk management aspects of their operations and the functions for which they are responsible.

 

*Compensation of Independent Directors* 

Each Independent Director receives a stipend from the Fund of up to $1,000 plus expenses for attendance at each meeting of the Fund's Board of Directors, and $500 plus expenses for attendance at each meeting of a committee thereof. The Independent Directors do not receive retirement or other benefits as part of their compensation.

<u><sup>(1)</sup></u> <u>For Messrs. Pagán, Nido, Cabrer and Pellot and Ms. Perez, the Affiliated Funds consist of the UBS Family of Funds and the Puerto Rico Residents Family of Funds (as defined above).</u>

Please also see "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" below for the number of shares beneficially owned by the Directors and named executive officers of the Fund.

As of April 6, 2026, based on information provided by each of the Independent Directors, none of the Independent Directors or their immediate family members owned beneficially or of record any securities of the investment adviser, principal or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such entities.

**Required Vote** 

In the election of Directors of the Fund, the nominees will be elected by a plurality of votes cast at the 2026 Annual Meeting. In other words, if more than three persons are lawfully nominated for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting, only the three nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the 2026 Annual Meeting will be elected. Alternatively, in the event the only nominees standing for election are the three nominees of the Board of Directors, then each such nominee will be elected so long as they receive at least one vote in favor of their election. As a result, in each case, any shares not voted FOR a particular nominee, whether as a result of a withhold vote, a broker non-vote or an abstention (in each case, as described below), will not be counted in such nominee's favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, INCLUDING ALL THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR ALL" ON THE PROPOSAL TO ELECT THE ABOVE REFERENCED DIRECTOR NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS OF THE FUND.**

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT**

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the shares as of April 6, 2026 for:

● each person or group of affiliated persons known by the Fund to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Fund's common stock;

● each of the Fund's named executive officers;

● each of the Fund's directors; and

**TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS**

The Fund's By-Laws require the Fund to indemnify the Directors and Officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Puerto Rico General Corporations Act, the Investment Companies Act of Puerto Rico, and Section 17(h) of the 1940 Act. Pursuant to Section 17(h) of the 1940 Act, such indemnification of the Directors would not protect a Director from liability to the Fund or its shareholders from liability that the Director would otherwise be subject to by reason of such Director's own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties as a Director.

Other than as described above, since February 1, 2025, the Fund has not entered into any transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, between the Fund and a related party where the amount involved exceeds, or would exceed, $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION** 

**Withhold Votes, Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes**

Proxies (i) that are returned to the Fund but are accompanied by instructions to withhold authority to vote or (ii) that are marked with an abstention, if applicable, will be considered to be present at the 2026 Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. Withhold votes and abstentions will not be counted as votes cast. If you are a street name shareholder and your broker has not provided you with competing proxy materials, the broker may vote your shares without your specific instruction with respect to routine proposals, including, in that case, Proposal 1 to elect the Director Nominees. In that case, if your broker casts a discretionary vote on Proposal 1, a "broker non-vote" will occur as to any other proposal on which you have not given specific voting instructions; such shares will count for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present; and any such broker non-vote will not be considered a vote cast on any such proposal.

Unless instructions to the contrary are marked thereon, the accompanying proxy card will be voted FOR ALL of the Director Nominees to be elected.

The election of Directors (PROPOSAL 1) requires that the nominee be elected by a plurality of votes cast at the 2026 Annual Meeting. In other words, if more than three persons are lawfully nominated for election at the meeting, only the three nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the 2026 Annual Meeting will be elected. Alternatively, in the event the only nominees standing for election are the three nominees of the Board of Directors, then each such nominee will be elected so long as they receive at least one vote in favor of their election. As a result, any shares not voted FOR a particular nominee, whether as a result of a withhold vote, a broker non-vote or an abstention, will not be counted in such nominee's favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

**Investment Adviser and Administrator** 

UBS Asset Managers, a division of UBS Trust PR, serves as the Fund's investment adviser. UBS Asset Managers is located at 250 Muñoz Rivera Avenue, American International Plaza, Tenth Floor, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918.

ALPS Fund Services, Inc. serves as the Fund's administrator. ALPS Fund Services, Inc. is located at 1290 Broadway, Suite 1000, Denver, Colorado 80203.

**Other Matters to Come Before the 2026 Annual Meeting** 

The Directors do not intend to present any other business at the 2026 Annual Meeting nor are they aware that any shareholder intends to do so except as described herein. If, however, any other matters are properly brought before the 2026 Annual Meeting, in accordance with the Fund's By-Laws, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote thereon in accordance with their judgment.

**Shareholder Proposals** 

Shareholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement and for consideration at next year's annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act by submitting their proposals in writing to the Fund Secretary at the Fund's principal executive office at 270 Munoz Rivera Ave, Suite 1110, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918, in a timely manner. For a Rule 14a-8 shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, the Fund's Secretary must receive the written proposal at the Fund's principal executive offices not later than December 22, 2026. In addition, such shareholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.

As provided for in the Fund's By-Laws, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders, proposals by shareholders (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act) and persons nominated for election as Directors by shareholders shall be considered only if advance notice thereof has been timely given as provided herein, and such proposals or nominations are otherwise proper for consideration under applicable law and the Fund's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. Notice of any proposal to be presented by any shareholder or the name of any person to be nominated by the shareholder for election as a Director of the Fund at any meeting of shareholders, shall be delivered to the Fund's Secretary at its principal executive office at 270 Munoz Rivera Ave, Suite 1110 San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918 not less than thirty (30) days nor more than fifty (50) days prior to the date of the meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the meeting is first publicly announced or disclosed (in a public filing or otherwise) less than forty (40) days prior to the date of the meeting, such notice shall be given not more than ten (10) days after such date is first so announced or disclosed. Public notice shall be deemed to have been given more than forty (40) days in advance of the annual meeting, if the Fund shall have previously disclosed, in the Fund's By-Laws or otherwise, that the annual meeting in each year is to be held on a determinable date unless and until the Board of Directors determines to hold the meeting on a different date. To be timely for the 2026 Annual Meeting, notice of any proposal to be presented by any shareholder or the name of any person to be nominated by the shareholder for election as a Director of the Fund at the 2026 Annual Meeting shall be delivered to the Fund's Secretary at its principal executive office no later than May 1, 2026. Any shareholder who gives notice of any such proposal shall deliver therewith the text of the proposal to be presented and a brief written statement of the reasons why such shareholder favors the proposal and setting forth such shareholder's name and address, the number and class of all shares of stock of the Fund beneficially owned by such shareholder, and any material interest of such shareholder in the proposal (other than as a shareholder). Any shareholder desiring to nominate any person for election as a Director shall deliver with such notice a statement in writing setting forth the name of the person to be nominated, the number and class of all shares of stock of the Fund beneficially owned by such person, the information regarding such person as would be required by paragraphs (a), (e), and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC (or the corresponding provisions of any regulation subsequently adopted by the SEC), such person's signed consent to serve as a Director of the Fund if elected, such shareholder's name and address as well as the number and class of all shares of stock of the Fund beneficially owned by such shareholder. The person presiding at the 2026 Annual Meeting, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the 2026 Annual Meeting, shall determine whether such notice has been duly given and shall direct that any such proposal and/or the respective nominee not be considered if such notice has not been given as provided herein.

**Costs of Solicitation** 

In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, directors, officers, and representatives of the Fund as well as officers and other employees of ALPS Fund Services, Inc., in its capacity as Fund administrator, and its respective affiliates, may also solicit proxies by telephone, telefax, or in person. The Fund has not retained any specially engaged employees, representatives or other persons (other than Broadridge to perform certain ministerial services) to assist in the proxy solicitation and setting up and administering the virtual shareholder meeting for the Fund. The cost of solicitation and the expenses incurred in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures will be paid by the Fund. The Fund will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares.

**Shareholder Communications** 

Shareholders may send communications to the Fund's Board of Directors by addressing the communication directly to the Board (or individual Board members) and/or clearly indicating that the communication is for the Board (or individual Board members). The communication may be sent to either the Fund's principal executive office at 270 Munoz Rivera Ave, Suite 1110 San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918 or directly to such Board member(s) at the address specified for each Director above. Other shareholder communications received by the Fund not directly addressed and sent to the Board will be reviewed and generally responded to by management and will be forwarded to the Board only at management's discretion based on the matters contained therein.

**Shareholders Sharing the Same Address** 

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers and banks) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders.

Once you have received notice from your bank or broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your bank or broker and direct your request to the Fund's Secretary at:

Puerto Rico Residents Tax-Free Fund V, Inc.

270 Munoz Rivera Ave, Suite 1110

San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918

Telephone: (787) 764-1788

Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of this Proxy Statement at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their bank or broker.

**Appraisal Rights** 

Shareholders do not have appraisal rights under Puerto Rican law in connection with this proxy solicitation.

**Your vote is important regardless of the size of your holdings in the Fund. Whether or not you plan to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting, we ask that you please complete, sign and date the proxy card delivered to you and return it promptly. Returning your proxy card will not prevent you from voting at the 2026 Annual Meeting, but will ensure that your vote is counted if you are unable to attend.** 

In San Juan, Puerto Rico, this 21st day of April, 2026.
