Positive

• The tender offer indicates strong interest with 52.12% of outstanding shares tendered.
• Continued monthly dividend distribution of $0.075 per share provides some income stability for shareholders.

Negative

• Proration of share purchases due to excess tenders may lead to reduced liquidity for individual shareholders.
• The managed distribution plan's reliance on capital gains or return of capital may not reflect strong investment performance.

ATLANTA, Oct. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco Advisers, Inc., a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. (NYSE: IVZ), announced today the preliminary results of the previously announced tender offer for Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund (NYSE: VTA), (the "Fund"). The tender offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, October 7, 2021 (the "Expiration Date").

The Fund conducted a tender offer for cash of up to 12,596,028 of the Fund's outstanding common shares of beneficial interest ("common shares"), representing twenty percent of its common shares. Based on current information, approximately 32,822,242 common shares, or approximately 52.12% of the Fund's common shares outstanding, were tendered through the Expiration Date.  Because the number of shares tendered exceeded 12,596,028 shares, the relative number of common shares that will be purchased from each shareholder will be prorated based on the number of common shares properly tendered.

The final number of the Fund's common shares validly tendered and accepted pursuant to the tender offer will be announced at a later date. The Fund expects to make cash payments for tendered and accepted common shares at a price equal to 98.5% of the Fund's net asset value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, October 8, 2021. Payment for common shares tendered and accepted is expected to be sent to tendering shareholders within approximately five business days after the Expiration Date.

The Fund has implemented a managed distribution plan (the "Plan") whereby the Fund will pay its monthly dividend to common shareholders at a stated fixed monthly distribution amount of $0.075 per share. The Plan is intended to provide shareholders with a consistent, but not guaranteed, periodic cash payment, regardless of when or whether income is earned or capital gains are realized. If sufficient investment income is not available for a monthly distribution, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution level under the Plan. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that shareholders invested in the Fund is paid back to them. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income." No conclusions should be drawn about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of its distributions or from the terms of the Plan. The Plan will be subject to periodic review by the Fund's Board of Trustees, and the Board of Trustees may amend the terms of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund's shareholders. The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's common shares.
