The distributions include $0.1235 per share for Preferred Income Fund I (HPI) and Preferred Income Fund II (HPF), and $0.1100 for Preferred Income Fund III (HPS). The Premium Dividend Fund (PDT) and Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund (HTD) will pay $0.0883 and $0.1580 per share, respectively. These payouts remain unchanged from previous cycles.

Both the PDT and HTD funds operate under managed distribution plans that allow for payments derived from net investment income, realized capital gains, or return of capital. While these plans provide regular monthly liquidity, the funds may issue additional distributions to satisfy federal tax requirements. Shareholders will receive official notices regarding the specific composition of these payments at the time of distribution, with final tax characterization provided via Form 1099-DIV after the calendar year concludes.
