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.
