About the Level Distribution Policy
In March 2019, the Fund's Board of
Trustees (the "Board") approved a level distribution policy (the
"Level Distribution Policy") under which the Fund makes monthly
distributions to stockholders at a constant and fixed (but not
guaranteed) rate that will reset annually to a rate calculated
based on the average of the Fund's NAV per share (the "Distribution
Amount"), as reported for the final five trading days of the month
preceding the announcement of distributions. The Distribution
Amount applicable to Q2 2024 was reset based upon the results of
the distribution rate calculation. The Distribution Amount
applicable for future periods may be reset based upon the results
of the distribution rate calculation.
There can be no guarantee that the Level Distribution Policy
will be successful in its goals. The Fund's ability to maintain a
stable level of distributions to shareholders will depend on a
number of factors, including changes in the financial market,
market interest rates, and performance of overall equity and
fixed-income markets. As portfolio and market conditions change,
the ability of the Fund to continue to make distributions in
accordance with the Level Distribution Policy may be affected.
Shareholders have the option of reinvesting distributions in
additional common shares through the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment
Plan, or electing to receive cash by contacting AST, their
financial adviser or their brokerage firm. Shareholders who
wish to receive their distribution in cash must opt out of the
Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan. For further information,
shareholders should carefully read the description of the Dividend
Reinvestment Plan in the prospectus.
The Board may amend the Level Distribution Policy, the
Distribution Amount or distribution intervals, or the Fund may
cease distributions entirely, at any time, without prior notice to
shareholders. The announcement of, amendment to, or later
termination of this Level Distribution Policy may have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Fund's shares of common
stock.
The Fund may at times, in its discretion, pay out less than the
entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular
period and may at times pay out such accumulated undistributed
income in addition to net investment income earned in other periods
in order to permit the Fund to maintain a stable level of
distributions. As a result, the dividend paid by the Fund to
shareholders for any particular period may be more or less than the
amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such
period. The Fund intends to distribute all realized net long-term
capital gains, if any, no more than once every twelve months.
To the extent that sufficient investment income is not available
on a monthly basis, the Fund's distributions may consist of return
of capital in order to maintain the distribution amount. A return
of capital occurs when some or all of the money that shareholders
invested in the Fund is paid back to them. A return of capital does
not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and
should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income.' Any such returns
of capital will decrease the Fund's total assets and, therefore,
could have the effect of increasing the Fund's expense ratio. In
addition, the Level Distribution Policy may require the Fund to
sell its portfolio securities at a less than opportune time to meet
the distribution amount.
Shareholders should not make any conclusions about the Fund's
investment performance from the amount of the Fund's distributions
or the Fund's Level Distribution Policy. With each distribution
that does not consist solely of net investment income, the Fund
will issue a notice to shareholders that will provide detailed
information regarding the amount and composition of the
distribution and other related information. The amounts and sources
of distributions reported in the notice to shareholders are only
estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes.
The actual amounts and sources of the distributions for tax
reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment
experience during its full fiscal year and may be subject to
changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send individual
shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for each calendar year that will tell
them how to report these distributions for federal income tax
purposes. Please consult your tax advisor about any tax
implications applicable to you in light of your particular
circumstances.
