DALLAS, April 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Highland
Capital Management Fund Advisors, L.P. ("HCMFA") announced today
that the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Highland Income
Fund (NYSE: HFRO) ("HFRO" or the "Fund") approved a repurchase
program pursuant to which the Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its
stock in open-market transactions over a one-year period.
The program allows for the Fund to repurchase shares, if trading
at a discount, in open-market transactions until the conclusion of
the repurchase period on April 24,
2021.
By purchasing Fund shares, which are currently trading at a
discount to the Fund's net asset value ("NAV"), HCMFA seeks to
enhance value for HFRO shareholders.
The total repurchase amount and the timing of repurchases will
be subject to the Fund's available cash, after consideration of
reserves necessary for anticipated fund expenses and contingencies,
and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
The Fund may sell portfolio securities in order to generate
cash. There is no assurance that the Fund will repurchase shares in
any amount.
About the Highland Income Fund
The Highland Income Fund (NYSE:HFRO) is a closed-end fund

Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade
at a discount to NAV. The price of the Fund's shares is determined
by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of
the Fund. Therefore, the Fund cannot predict whether its shares
will trade at, below or above net asset value. Past performance
does not guarantee future results.
