These are estimates only and have been calculated based upon forward-looking information, so the actual distributions may differ materially from these estimates. We expect to announce updated estimates of any year-end reinvested distribution amounts (as well as any monthly and/or any quarterly cash distribution amounts, as applicable) on or about December 21, 2022. The record date for the 2022 final year-end distributions will be December 30, 2022, payable on January 9, 2023.

The actual taxable amounts of reinvested distributions, if any, and cash distributions for 2022, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. in early 2023. Securityholders can reach out to their brokerage firm for this information.
