Virtus Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund (NYSE: CBH) today announced that in light of its anticipated termination on or about September 2, 2024, it will reduce its monthly distribution from $0.046 per share to $0.027 per share effective with the distribution payable March 28, 2024.

The Fund is a “target term fund” fund that, on the Fund’s designated termination date, will cease investment operations, liquidate its portfolio, and distribute the net proceeds to shareholders, unless the term is extended for a period of up to six months by a vote of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In anticipation of its upcoming termination date, the Fund has been shifting its portfolio to shorter duration securities and has paid off its borrowings. As a result, the Fund’s yield has decreased. The reduction in the monthly distribution rate will allow the Fund to pay out an amount closer to its expected earnings. A portion of your distribution may be a return of capital.

The amounts of distributions reported in this notice are estimates only and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the distributions for tax purposes will depend on the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund or your broker will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you what distributions to report for federal income tax purposes.
