The distributions will be payable on September 22, 2017 to shareholders of record on September 11, 2017 with an ex-dividend date of September 8, 2017.

The actual composition and character of the distributions stated above and future distributions of the Funds may be materially different from the composition or character of such distributions that existed at the time of this press release and may be comprised of net investment income, capital gains and/or return of capital. Such factors include the varied nature of each Funds’ investments and the performance of those investments, and that the ultimate characterization of each Funds’ distributions cannot finally be determined until the end of each Funds’ fiscal year, resulting in the possibility of a return of capital if any Fund makes total distributions in an amount that exceeds its net investment income and net realized capital gains during its fiscal year. Additional information as applicable regarding the composition of the distributions will be made available at us.allianzgi.com/closedendfunds.com after the payable date. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, no assurance can be given as to the actual composition or character of each Funds’ distributions at the time of this press release and neither the Funds, Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI U.S.”), NFJ Investment Group LLC, nor any of their trustees, members, officers or employees assumes responsibility for such statements.

This notice should not be used to prepare tax returns. In January 2018, Form 1099 DIV (or substitute Form 1099 DIV) will be sent to shareholders and will state the aggregate amount and tax characterizations of distributions for the 2017 calendar year.

It is anticipated that the Funds’ next quarterly distributions will be declared on or about December 15, 2017 and be payable on or about January 5, 2018.
