Pursuant to its managed distribution policy, each Fund intends
to make regular monthly distributions to shareholders at a fixed
rate per common share, which rate may be adjusted from time to time
by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Under each Fund’s managed
distribution policy, if, for any monthly distribution, the value of
the Fund’s net investment income and net realized capital gain is
less than the amount of the distribution, the difference will be
distributed from the Fund’s net assets (and may constitute a
“return of capital”). The Board of Trustees may modify, terminate
or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time. Any such
modification, termination or suspension could have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Funds’ shares.
The Funds’ distributions have been set based on the current
level of income generated from the Funds’ investment portfolio and
accumulated capital gains, if any. Based on the Funds’ tax
accounting records, which also factors in currency fluctuations,
each Fund’s estimated source of cumulative fiscal year-to-date
distributions is presented in the table below:

The updated estimated components of the distributions announced
today will be provided to shareholders of record in a separate
notice when the distributions are paid.
This press release is not for tax reporting purposes but is
being provided to announce the amount of each Fund’s distributions
that have been declared by the Board of Trustees. In early 2022,
after definitive information is available, each Fund will send
shareholders a Form 1099-DIV, if applicable, specifying how the
distributions paid by each Fund during the prior calendar year
should be characterized for purposes of reporting the distributions
on a shareholder’s tax return (e.g., ordinary income, long-term
capital gain or return of capital).
For more information about the Funds, please call 1-888-777-0102
or consult the Funds’ web site at www.lmcef.com. Hard copies of the Funds’ complete
audited financial statements are available free of charge upon
request.
