BNY Mellon Alcentra Global Credit Income 2024 Target Term Fund, Inc. and BNY Mellon Alcentra Global Multi-Strategy Credit Fund, Inc. Announce Upcoming Portfolio Manager Changes

On May 30, 2022, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY Mellon"), the parent company of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. ("BNYM Investment Adviser") and Alcentra NY, LLC ("Alcentra"), the investment adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, for BNY Mellon Alcentra Global Credit Income 2024 Target Term Fund, Inc. (NYSE: DCF) and BNY Mellon Alcentra Global Multi-Strategy Credit Fund, Inc. (each, a "Fund" and, together, the "Funds") entered into a definitive agreement to sell all of its indirect equity interest in Alcentra (the "Transaction") to Franklin Resources, Inc., a global investment management organization operating as Franklin Templeton. The Transaction is expected to be completed on or about November 1, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, including certain regulatory approvals (the "Closing Date").

On September 16, 2022, the Funds announced the appointment of Brandan Chao as a primary portfolio manager of the Funds, effective as of the Closing Date. Mr. Chao joined Alcentra in March 2017 and is a Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager and a member of the Structured Credit team. He is responsible for analyzing investments in structured products across Alcentra's funds. Mr. Chao joined Alcentra from Omega Advisors, where he worked for five years as a senior analyst covering structured products with a focus on CLO equity and mezzanine investing and opportunistic corporate credit. Prior to that, he worked at King Street Capital Management, investing in corporate structured products, high yield, and distressed credit, and at Credit Suisse, performing leveraged finance research. Mr. Chao has a B.S. in Finance from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and holds the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) designation.

BNYM Investment Adviser will continue to serve as each Fund's investment adviser, and Alcentra will continue to serve as each Fund's sub-adviser. The investment strategies of the Funds are not changing and each Fund will be managed by its portfolio management team after the Closing Date, as outlined below:

As of the Closing Date, Hiram Hamilton and Suhail A. Shaikh will no longer serve as primary portfolio managers of BNY Mellon Alcentra Global Multi-Strategy Credit Fund, Inc. and Mr. Hamilton will no longer serve as a primary portfolio manager of DCF.

In addition, in connection with Mr. Chao's appointment as a primary portfolio manager of BNY Mellon Alcentra Global Multi-Strategy Credit Fund, Inc., the Fund's Board of Directors approved Mr. Chao as a "key person" for purposes of a "key person event" (as that term is defined in the Fund's initial public offering prospectus, as supplemented), which will be triggered if any two of Chris Barris, Brandon Chao, Kevin Cronk or Jonathan DeSimone depart Alcentra or cease to manage/supervise the affairs of the Fund during the life of the Fund.
