Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund, Inc. (FOF) Notification of Sources of Distribution Under Section 19(a)
Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund (NYSE: FOF) has announced its March 31, 2025 distribution details and provided information about its managed distribution policy implemented in December 2021. The policy aims to deliver the Fund's long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions at a fixed rate per common share.
The monthly distributions may include long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income, and/or return of capital. The Fund estimates it has distributed more than its income and capital gains, indicating a portion of distributions may be return of capital. Return of capital reduces a shareholder's tax basis and is not taxable.

The Board of Directors retains the right to amend, terminate, or suspend the managed distribution policy, which could affect the Fund's market price.

Questa politica ha l'obiettivo di offrire il potenziale di rendimento totale a lungo termine del Fondo attraverso distribuzioni mensili regolari a un tasso fisso per azione ordinaria.
Le distribuzioni mensili possono includere guadagni in conto capitale a lungo termine, guadagni in conto capitale a breve termine, reddito da investimenti netti e/o rimborso di capitale.

Der Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund (NYSE: FOF) hat die Einzelheiten seiner Ausschüttung zum 31. März 2025 bekannt gegeben und Informationen zu seiner im Dezember 2021 umgesetzten verwalteten Ausschüttungspolitik bereitgestellt. Ziel dieser Politik ist es, das langfristige Gesamtertragspotenzial des Fonds durch regelmäßige monatliche Ausschüttungen zu einem festen Satz pro Stammaktie zu realisieren.
Die monatlichen Ausschüttungen können langfristige Kapitalgewinne, kurzfristige Kapitalgewinne, Nettoanlageerträge und/oder Kapitalrückzahlungen umfassen. Der Fonds schätzt, dass er mehr als seine Einkünfte und Kapitalgewinne ausgeschüttet hat, was darauf hindeutet, dass ein Teil der Ausschüttungen Kapitalrückzahlungen sein könnte. Kapitalrückzahlungen verringern die Steuerbasis eines Aktionärs und sind nicht steuerpflichtig.
Der Fonds stellt Informationen zu Ausschüttungen über seine Website und Aktionärsmitteilungen bereit, wobei die endgültigen steuerlichen Merkmale nach Ende des Kalenderjahres auf dem Formular 1099-DIV berichtet werden. Der Vorstand behält sich das Recht vor, die verwaltete Ausschüttungspolitik zu ändern, zu beenden oder auszusetzen, was den Marktpreis des Fonds beeinflussen könnte.
- Managed distribution policy provides regular monthly income to shareholders
- Flexibility to realize and distribute long-term capital gains throughout the year
- Fund is distributing more than its income and capital gains, indicating return of capital
- Policy can be terminated or suspended, potentially affecting market price negatively
In December 2021, the Fund implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance with exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The managed distribution policy seeks to deliver the Fund's long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share. The policy gives the Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and to distribute those gains on a regular monthly basis to shareholders. The Board of Directors of the Fund may amend, 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.
The Fund's monthly distributions may include long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income and/or return of capital for federal income tax purposes. Return of capital includes distributions paid by the Fund in excess of its net investment income and net realized capital gains and such excess is distributed from the Fund's assets. A return of capital is not taxable; rather, it reduces a shareholder's tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. The amount of monthly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in portfolio and market conditions.
At the time of each monthly distribution, information will be posted to cohenandsteers.com and mailed to shareholders in a concurrent notice. However, this information may change at the end of the year because the final tax characteristics of the Fund's distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the end of the calendar year. Final tax characteristics of all of the Fund's distributions will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed after the close of the calendar year.
The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the current distribution and the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year-to-date from the sources indicated. All amounts are expressed per common share.
DISTRIBUTION ESTIMATES | March 2025 | YEAR-TO-DATE (YTD) March 31, 2025* | ||
Source | Per Share | % of Current | Per Share | % of 2025 |
Net Investment Income | 33.45 % | 43.83 % | ||
Net Realized Short-Term Capital Gains | 11.72 % | 9.96 % | ||
Net Realized Long-Term Capital Gains | 0.00 % | 26.59 % | ||
Return of Capital (or other Capital Source) | 54.83 % | 19.62 % | ||
Total Current Distribution | 100.00 % | 100.00 % | ||
You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's managed distribution policy. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income'. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates, are likely to change over time, and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and 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 amounts and sources of distributions year-to-date may be subject to additional adjustments.
*THE FUND WILL SEND YOU A FORM 1099-DIV FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW TO REPORT THESE DISTRIBUTIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES
The Fund's Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return for fiscal year 2025 (January 1, 2025 through February 28, 2025) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return with the Fund's Cumulative Distribution Rate for 2025. In addition, the Fund's Average Annual Total Return for the five-year period ending February 28, 2025 is set forth below. Shareholders should note the relationship between the Average Annual Total Return with the Fund's Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2025. The performance and distribution rate information disclosed in the table is based on the Fund's net asset value per share (NAV). The Fund's NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's individual investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market.
