Distribution rates are not performance and are
calculated by annualizing the current distribution per share
announced in this press release and dividing by the NAV or Market
Price, as applicable, as of the reported date. A Fund’s
distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including
changes in realized and projected market returns, Fund performance,
and other factors. There can be no assurance that a change in
market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in a
Fund’s distribution rate at a future time. Distributions may be
comprised of ordinary income, net capital gains, and/or a return of
capital (“ROC”) of your investment in a Fund. Because the
distribution rate may include a ROC, it should not be confused with
yield or performance.

Performance for periods of more than one year is
annualized. PAXS commenced operations on January 31, 2022,
therefore only since inception performance is shown as of May 31,
2022.
Past performance is not a guarantee or a
reliable indicator of future results. There can be no assurance
that a Fund or any investment strategy will achieve its investment
objectives or structure its investment portfolio as
anticipated. An investment in a Fund involves risk,
including loss of principal. Investment return and the value of
shares will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than
original purchase price. Due to market volatility, current
performance may be lower or higher than average annual returns
shown. Returns are calculated by determining the percentage change
in net asset value (“NAV”) or market price (as applicable) of the
Fund’s common shares in the specific period. The calculation
assumes that all dividends and distributions, if any, have been
reinvested. NAV and market price returns do not reflect broker
sales charges or commissions in connection with the purchase or
sales of Fund shares and includes the effect of any expense
reductions. Returns for a period of less than one year are not
annualized. Returns for a period of more than one year represent
the average annual return. Performance at market price will differ
from results at NAV. Although market price returns typically
reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods
returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as
changing views about a Fund, market conditions, supply and demand
for a Fund’s shares or changes in Fund dividends and
distributions.
Additional Information
Distributions from PMF, PML, PMX, PCQ, PCK, PZC,
PNF, PNI and PYN are generally exempt from regular federal income
taxes (i.e., excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes but not necessarily exempt from the federal alternative
minimum tax). In addition, distributions from PCQ, PCK and PZC are
also generally exempt from California state income taxes, and
distributions from PNF, PNI and PYN are generally exempt from New
York State and city income taxes. There can be no assurance that
all distributions paid by these Funds will be exempt from federal
income taxes or applicable state or local income taxes.
Distributions may include ordinary income, net
capital gains and/or a return of capital. Generally, a return of
capital occurs when the amount distributed by a Fund includes a
portion of (or is comprised entirely of) your investment in the
Fund in addition to (or rather than) your pro-rata portion of the
Fund’s net income or capital gains. A Fund’s distributions in any
period may be more or less than the net return earned by the Fund
on its investments, and therefore should not be used as a measure
of performance or confused with “yield” or “income.” A return of
capital is not taxable; rather it reduces a shareholder’s tax basis
in his or her shares of a Fund.
If a Fund estimates that a portion of a
distribution may be comprised of amounts from sources other than
net investment income, as determined in accordance with its
internal accounting records and related accounting practices, the
Fund will notify shareholders of the estimated composition of such
distribution through a Section 19 Notice. For these purposes, a
Fund estimates the source or sources from which a distribution is
paid, to the close of the period as of which it is paid, in
reference to its internal accounting records and related accounting
practices. If, based on such accounting records and practices, it
is estimated that a particular distribution does not include
capital gains or paid-in surplus or other capital sources, a
Section 19 Notice generally would not be issued. It is important to
note that differences exist between a Fund’s daily internal
accounting records and practices, the Fund’s financial statements
presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and recordkeeping practices
under income tax regulations. For instance, a Fund’s internal
accounting records and practices may take into account, among other
factors, tax-related characteristics of certain sources of
distributions that differ from treatment under U.S. GAAP. Examples
of such differences may include, among others, the treatment of
paydowns on mortgage-backed securities purchased at a discount and
periodic payments under interest rate swap contracts. Accordingly,
among other consequences, it is possible that a Fund may not issue
a Section 19 Notice in situations where the Fund’s financial
statements prepared later and in accordance with U.S. GAAP and/or
the final tax character of those distributions might later report
that the sources of those distributions included capital gains
and/or a return of capital. Please visit www.pimco.com for the most
recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, and most recent
shareholder reports for additional information regarding the
estimated composition of distributions. Final determination of a
distribution’s tax character will be provided to shareholders when
such information is available.
The tax treatment and characterization of a
Fund’s distributions may vary significantly from time to time
because of the varied nature of the Fund’s investments. For
example, a Fund may enter into opposite sides of multiple
interest rate swaps or other derivatives with respect to the
same underlying reference instrument (e.g., a 10-year U.S.
treasury) that have different effective dates with respect to
interest accrual time periods for the principal purpose of
generating distributable gains (characterized as ordinary
income for tax purposes) that are not part of the Fund’s
duration or yield curve management strategies. In such a
“paired swap transaction”, the Fund would generally enter into
one or more interest rate swap agreements whereby the Fund
agrees to make regular payments starting at the time the Fund
enters into the agreements equal to a floating interest rate
in return for payments equal to a fixed interest rate (the “initial
leg”). The Fund would also enter into one or more interest
rate swap agreements on the same underlying instrument, but
take the opposite position (i.e., in this example, the Fund
would make regular payments equal to a fixed interest rate in
return for receiving payments equal to a floating
interest rate) with respect to a contract whereby the payment
obligations do not commence until a date following the
commencement of the initial leg (the “forward leg”).
A Fund may engage in investment strategies,
including those that employ the use of derivatives, to, among
other things, seek to generate current, distributable income,
even if such strategies could potentially result in declines
in the Fund’s NAV. A Fund’s income and gain-generating
strategies, including certain derivatives strategies, may
generate current income and gains taxable as ordinary income
sufficient to support monthly distributions even in situations
when the Fund has experienced a decline in net assets due to,
for example, adverse changes in the broad U.S. or non-U.S.
equity markets or the Fund’s debt investments, or arising from
its use of derivatives. Because some or all of these
transactions may generate capital losses without
corresponding offsetting capital gains, portions of a Fund’s
distributions recognized as ordinary income for tax purposes
(such as from paired swap transactions) may be economically
similar to a taxable return of capital when
considered together with such capital losses. The tax
treatment of certain derivatives in which a Fund invests may
be unclear and thus subject to recharacterization. Any
recharacterization of payments made or received by a Fund pursuant
to derivatives potentially could affect the amount, timing or
character of Fund distributions. In addition, the tax treatment of
such investment strategies may be changed by regulation or
otherwise.
The common shares of the Funds trade on the New
York Stock Exchange. As with any stock, the price of a Fund’s
common shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other
factors. If you sell your common shares of a Fund, the price
received may be more or less than your original
investment. Shares of closed-end investment management
companies, such as the Funds, frequently trade at a discount from
their net asset value and may trade at a price that is less than
the initial offering price and/or the net asset value of such
shares. Further, if a Fund’s shares trade at a price that is more
than the initial offering price and/or the net asset value of such
shares, including at a substantial premium and/or for an extended
period of time, there is no assurance that any such premium will be
sustained for any period of time and will not decrease, or that the
shares will not trade at a discount to net asset value
thereafter.
The Funds’ daily New York Stock Exchange closing
market prices, net asset values per share, as well as other
information, including updated portfolio statistics and performance
are available at pimco.com/closedendfunds or by calling the Funds’
shareholder servicing agent at (844) 33-PIMCO. Updated portfolio
holdings information about a Fund will be available approximately
15 calendar days after such Fund’s most recent fiscal quarter end,
and will remain accessible until such Fund files a shareholder
report or a publicly available Form N-PORT for the period that
includes the date of the information.
A Fund’s shares do not represent a deposit or
obligation of, and are not guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank or
other insured depository institution, and are not insured by the
FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You
may lose money by investing in a Fund. Certain risks associated
with investing in a Fund are summarized below.
An investor should consider, among other
things, a Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses
carefully before investing. A Fund’s annual report contains (or
will contain) this and other information about the
Fund.
A word about risk: Investing in
the bond market is subject to risks, including
market, interest rate, issuer, credit, inflation risk, and
liquidity risk. The value of most bonds and bond strategies are
impacted by changes in interest rates. Bonds and bond strategies
with longer durations tend to be more sensitive and volatile than
those with shorter durations; bond prices generally fall as
interest rates rise, and low interest rate environments increase
this risk. Reductions in bond counterparty capacity may contribute
to decreased market liquidity and increased price volatility. Bond
investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when
redeemed. Bank loans are often less liquid than
other types of debt instruments and general market and financial
conditions may affect the prepayment of bank loans, and as such the
prepayments cannot be predicted with accuracy. There is no
assurance that the liquidation of any collateral from a secured
bank loan would satisfy the borrower’s obligation, or that such
collateral could be liquidated. Contingent Convertible
(“Coco”) Bonds are bonds that are converted into equity of
the issuing company if a pre-specified trigger occurs. Co-cos are
subject to a different type of risk from traditional bonds and may
result in a partial or total loss of value or may be converted into
shares of the issuing company which may also have suffered a loss
in value. Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs)
may involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale to
qualified investors only. Investors may lose some or all of the
investment and there may be periods where no cash flow
distributions are received. CLOs are exposed to risks such as
credit, default, liquidity, management, volatility, interest rate,
and credit risk. Convertible securities may be
called before intended, which may have an adverse effect on
investment objectives. Floating rate loans are not
traded on an exchange and are subject to significant credit,
valuation and liquidity risk. A Fund may invest without limit in
below investment grade debt securities (commonly referred to as
“high yield” securities or “junk bonds”), including securities of
stressed and distressed issuers. High-yield, lower-rated,
securities involve greater risk than higher-rated
securities; portfolios that invest in them may be subject to
greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than portfolios that do
not. Investments in residential/commercial mortgage loans
and commercial real estate debt are subject to risks that
include prepayment, delinquency, foreclosure, risks of loss,
servicing risks and adverse regulatory developments, which risks
may be heightened in the case of non-performing loans. A Fund will
also have exposure to such risks through its investments in
mortgage and asset-backed securities, which are
highly complex instruments that may be sensitive to changes in
interest rates and subject to early repayment risk. Income from
municipal bonds is exempt from federal income tax
and may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the
alternative minimum tax; a strategy concentrating in a single or
limited number of states is subject to greater risk of adverse
economic conditions and regulatory changes. Structured
products such as collateralized debt
obligations are also highly complex instruments, typically
involving a high degree of risk; use of these instruments may
involve derivative instruments that could lose more than the
principal amount invested. Sovereign securities
are generally backed by the issuing government, obligations of U.S.
Government agencies and authorities are supported by varying
degrees but are generally not backed by the full faith of the U.S.
Government; portfolios that invest in such securities are not
guaranteed and will fluctuate in value.
Concentration of assets in one or a few sectors
may entail greater risk than a fully diversified portfolio and
should be considered as only part of a diversified portfolio.
Investing in foreign-denominated and/or -domiciled
securities may involve heightened risk due to currency
fluctuations, and economic and political risks, which may be
enhanced in emerging markets. The use of
leverage may cause a portfolio to liquidate
positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its
obligations or to meet segregation requirements. Leverage,
including borrowing, may cause a portfolio to be more volatile than
if the portfolio had not been leveraged.
Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks,
such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and
the risk that a position could not be closed when most
advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the
amount invested. Each of PDO, PNF and
PYN is non-diversified, which
means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers
than a diversified Fund.
As a new fund, PAXS has
no operating history for investors to evaluate and
new and smaller funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve
investment and trading efficiencies. PAXS and PDO have limited term
provisions. Unless the limited term provision is
amended or such Fund converts to perpetual existence, the Fund will
terminate on or about the Dissolution Date (as defined in the
Fund’s prospectus). Investors may receive more or less than their
original investment upon dissolution or in an Eligible Tender
Offer.
Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not
continuously offered. After the initial public offering, shares are
sold on the open market through a stock exchange. Closed-end funds
may be leveraged and carry various risks depending upon the
underlying assets owned by a fund. Investment policies, management
fees and other matters of interest to prospective investors may be
found in each closed-end fund annual and semi-annual report. For
additional information, please contact your investment professional
or call 1-844-337-4626.
