The fund paid a $0.1580 per share dividend on September 30, 2026 to all shareholders recorded as of September 11, 2026. The majority (95%) of the current month's distribution came from net investment income, with an additional 5% derived from long-term capital gains. For the fiscal year-to-date period through September 30, 2026, approximately 71% of cumulative distributions were sourced from net investment income and nearly 29% from long-term capital gains.

As a result, some portion of the distribution could be considered a return of capital rather than earnings-based returns.
