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 returns 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.
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.
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. 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 also
for the principal purpose of generating distributable gains
(characterized as ordinary income for tax purposes) that are not
part of a Fund’s duration or yield curve management strategies. In
such a “paired swap transaction”, a Fund would generally enter into
one or more interest rate swap agreements whereby a Fund agrees to
make regular payments starting at the time a Fund enters into the
agreements equal to a floating interest rate in return for payments
equal to a fixed interest rate (the “initial leg”). A 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, a 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, without
regard to possible declines in the Fund’s NAV. A Fund’s income and
gain-generating strategies, including certain derivatives
strategies, may 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 losses 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. A Fund may
enter into opposite sides of interest rate swaps and other
derivatives for the principal purpose of generating distributable
gains on the one side (characterized as ordinary income for tax
purposes) that are not part of a duration or yield curve management
strategy, and with a substantial possibility that the Fund will
experience a corresponding capital loss and decline in NAV with
respect to the opposite side transaction (to the extent it does not
have corresponding offsetting capital gains). Consequently, common
shareholders may receive distributions and owe tax on amounts that
are effectively a taxable return of the shareholder’s investment in
a Fund at a time when their investment in the Fund has declined in
value, which may be taxed at ordinary income rates. 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 which
includes the date of the information.
