Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s
investment performance from the amount of the current distribution
or from the terms of the Plan. WIA estimates that it has
distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains;
therefore, a portion of the WIA distribution to shareholders may be
a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example,
when some or all of the money that a shareholder invested in a Fund
is paid back to them. A return of capital distribution does not
necessarily reflect WIA’s investment performance and should not be
confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. The amounts and sources of
distributions reported herein are only estimates and are not being
provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources
of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the
Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal
year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The
Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar
year that will describe how to report the Fund’s distributions for
federal income tax purposes.

Fund Performance and Distribution Rate Information:
- Average Annual Total Return in relation to NAV represents
the compound average of the Annual NAV Total Returns of the Fund
for the five-year period ended through February 29, 2024. Annual
NAV Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV over a
year, assuming reinvestment of distributions paid.
- The Annualized Distribution Rate is the current fiscal
period’s distribution rate annualized as a percentage of the Fund’s
NAV as of February 29, 2024.
- Cumulative Total Return is the percentage change in the
Fund’s NAV from November 30, 2023 through February 29, 2024,
assuming reinvestment of distributions paid.
- The Cumulative Fiscal Year-To-Date Distribution Rate is the
dollar value of distributions for the fiscal period November 30,
2023 through February 29, 2024, as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV
as of February 29, 2024.
This Fund has a managed distribution policy that seeks to
deliver the Fund’s long-term total return potential through regular
monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share.
Distributions may be paid in part or in full from net investment
income, realized capital gains and by returning capital, or a
combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if a
Fund’s aggregate net investment income and net realized capital
gains are less than the amount of the distribution level, the
difference will be distributed from the Fund’s assets and will
constitute a return of the shareholder’s capital. A return of
capital is not taxable; rather it reduces a shareholder’s tax basis
in his or her shares of the Fund. The Board of Directors of the
Fund may terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at
any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of
the Fund’s shares.
