Charles I. Clough, Jr., CFA, Chairman & CEO, Clough Capital
Partners, LP commented, “The primary driver of this action is to be
responsive to our shareholders who have expressed a preference for
monthly rather than quarterly distribution payments. We are pleased
that the performance of the Fund enables us to increase the amount
of distributions and will benefit our current and potential new
investors.” Going forward, the Board of Trustees intends to
announce three monthly distributions at a time so investors have
greater transparency into the distribution amounts and payment
schedules.
A portion of the distribution may be treated as paid from
sources other than net income, including but not limited to
short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain and return of
capital. The final determination of the source of all distributions
in 2014, including the percentage of qualified dividend income,
will be made after year-end.
