The Board of Directors has also authorized the Fund to decrease the amount of monthly dividends from $0.050 per common share to $0.045 per common share beginning with the September dividend described above.

The Fund currently anticipates declaring and paying a monthly dividend of $0.045 per common share, although there is no guarantee that the Fund will continue to do so and the declaration and payment of any dividend is subject to market conditions and the requirement that the Fund maintains certain asset coverage requirements. The amount of a monthly dividend, if any, may be more or less than the actual income earned by the Fund in a given month. The Board will continue to monitor the continuing appropriateness of the dividend level in light of market conditions and income earned by the Fund over time. In addition, during the last quarter of the year, the Board will consider the amount of undistributed net income remaining, if any, and may declare a special dividend.

Updated information on the amount of undistributed net income will continue to be included on the fact sheet available on the Fund’s website at www.pacholder.com. In the event that market conditions change such that the Fund does not believe it would be able to meet its asset coverage requirements and/or is appropriate to declare or pay a dividend at the rate of $0.045 per common share, shareholders will be notified.
