Each Fund's Tender Offer will expire at 5:00
P.M., New York City Time, on April 12, 2024, unless the Tender
Offer is extended. Each Fund may consider in the future, based upon
circumstances existing at such time, what action, if any, to take
with respect to any ARPS that remain outstanding after its Offer.
PIMCO may recommend, and the Funds’ Boards may determine, at any
time to conduct additional tender offers at higher or lower prices
or to redeem the ARPS at liquidation preference based on their
assessment of market conditions and other factors.
This announcement is not a recommendation, an
offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell ARPS of the
Funds. The Funds have filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a tender offer statement on Schedule TO and related
exhibits, including an offer to purchase, a related letter of
transmittal and other related documents (the “Tender Offer
Documents”). Each Fund’s Tender Offer is conditioned on certain
conditions as set forth in the Tender Offer Documents. The Tender
Offer Documents will be sent electronically to holders of the ARPS.
ARPS holders of a Fund may obtain additional copies of the Tender
Offer Documents for such Fund, without charge, by contacting the
Information Agent for the Tender Offers, EQ Fund Solutions, LLC, at
(877) 478-5044. ARPS holders can also obtain the Tender Offer
Documents free of charge on the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. ARPS holders should read these
documents and related exhibits for the applicable Fund as the
documents contain important information about each Fund’s Tender
Offer.
Any questions regarding the Tender Offers can be
directed to the Funds’ Information Agent, EQ Fund Solutions, LLC,
at (877) 478-5044. Each Fund’s daily New York Stock Exchange
closing market price for its common shares, net asset value per
common share, as well as other information, including updated
portfolio statistics and performance, are available
at www.pimco.com/closedendfunds.
Each Fund may determine to replace all or a
portion of the leverage currently obtained through tendered ARPS
with other forms of leverage in accordance with the Fund’s
investment policies and related public disclosures. There is no
guarantee that a Fund will be able to replace all or a portion of
the leverage currently obtained through tendered ARPS with leverage
at comparable costs and other terms, or will elect to do so, and
any replacement leverage may be at a higher interest rate and/or
may result in higher costs to the Fund’s common shareholders.
