RISKS
This press release is not for tax reporting purposes but is
being provided to announce the amount of the Fund's distributions.
In early 2023, after definitive information is available, the Fund
will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV, if applicable, specifying
how the distributions paid by the 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). An investment in the
Fund is not appropriate for all investors and is not intended to be
a complete investment program. The Fund is designed as a long-term
investment and not as a trading vehicle.
Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that
you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you
may lose part or even all of your investment. The Fund's net asset
value will vary and its distribution rate may vary and both may be
affected by numerous factors, including changes in the market
spread over a specified benchmark, market interest rates and
performance of the broader equity markets. Fluctuations in net
asset value may be magnified as a result of the Fund's use of
leverage. Therefore, before investing you should carefully consider
the risks that you assume when you invest in the Fund's common
shares.
The Fund's investment objectives and policies are not
designed to seek to return the initial investment to investors that
purchase shares.
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, including the percentage of qualified dividend
income, is made after year‐end.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
An investor should consider the Fund's
investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before
investing. To obtain an annual report or semi-annual report which
contains this and other information, visit www.rivernorthcef.com or
call 1-855-830-1222. Please read them carefully before
investing.

public offering, the Fund now trades in the secondary market.
Investors wishing to buy or sell shares need to place orders
