“The approval of monthly distributions by our Board of Trustees reflects our steady financial improvement and our commitment to delivering on shareholder value,” said Robert A. Watson, CFP®, President of the Fund. “The distribution rate of $0.0725 cents per share, which the Board has approved for the next three months, reflects an ~8% annualized rate at the NAV as of February 24th of $10.88 per share and that corresponds to an ~10.22% annualized rate at the closing MKT price on the same date of $8.52.”

“We are pleased by the steady progress we have been able to make, shifting more and more of the Fund’s portfolio into more liquid, dynamic alpha seeking hedging strategies that we have developed over many years here at Validex,” said Mark Scalzo, Portfolio Manager and CIO of Validex Global Investing, the Fund’s Sub-Adviser.

The Fund offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRP”). Shareholders who hold their shares at a broker dealer and would like to participate in the DRP should contact their broker dealer to set their reinvestment preferences. Shareholders who hold their shares directly with the Fund will have all dividends declared on the shares automatically reinvested in additional shares by the Fund’s plan agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (“EQ”), unless the shareholder elects otherwise by contacting EQ. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the DRP will receive all dividends and other distributions in cash, paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholder of record. Shareholders may obtain more information on the shareholder services offered to the Fund by calling EQ at the Fund’s dedicated toll free number 800-591-8238.

A portion of each distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net investment income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain, or return of capital. As required by Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Rule 19a-1 thereunder, a notice will be distributed to shareholders in the event that a portion of a monthly distribution is derived from sources other than undistributed net investment income. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of these distributions will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during its fiscal year and will be made after the Fund’s fiscal year end. The Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will define how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes, but shareholders should consult their own tax advisers regarding their specific tax situations and to obtain a complete understanding of the tax consequences.
