Western Asset Inflation-Linked Income Fund (WIA or “the Fund”; CUSIP: 95766Q106) Announces Notification of Sources of Distributions
Western Asset Inflation-Linked Income Fund (WIA) has announced its distribution details for March 31, 2025, and fiscal year 2025. The Fund operates under a managed distribution policy aimed at delivering long-term total return potential through fixed monthly distributions per common share.
The distributions may be sourced from various components including net investment income, realized capital gains, and return of capital. WIA has indicated that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains, suggesting that a portion of the distribution may represent a return of capital to shareholders.
The Fund emphasizes that the actual distribution amounts and sources for tax reporting will depend on its investment performance through the remainder of the fiscal year. Shareholders will receive Form 1099-DIV for calendar year tax reporting purposes. The Fund's Board of Directors maintains the right to terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy, which could impact the Fund's market price.
Western Asset Inflation-Linked Income Fund (WIA) ha annunciato i dettagli della sua distribuzione per il 31 marzo 2025 e per l'anno fiscale 2025. Il Fondo opera secondo una politica di distribuzione gestita, mirata a fornire un potenziale di rendimento totale a lungo termine attraverso distribuzioni mensili fisse per ogni azione comune.
Le distribuzioni possono derivare da vari componenti, inclusi il reddito netto da investimenti, i guadagni di capitale realizzati e il rimborso di capitale. WIA ha indicato di aver distribuito più del proprio reddito e dei guadagni di capitale netti realizzati, suggerendo che una parte della distribuzione potrebbe rappresentare un rimborso di capitale per gli azionisti.
Il Fondo sottolinea che gli importi effettivi delle distribuzioni e le fonti per la segnalazione fiscale dipenderanno dalle sue performance di investimento per il resto dell'anno fiscale. Gli azionisti riceveranno il Modulo 1099-DIV per scopi di segnalazione fiscale dell'anno solare. Il Consiglio di Amministrazione del Fondo si riserva il diritto di terminare o sospendere la politica di distribuzione gestita, il che potrebbe influenzare il prezzo di mercato del Fondo.

Western Asset Inflation-Linked Income Fund (WIA)는 2025년 3월 31일 및 2025 회계연도에 대한 배포 세부정보를 발표했습니다. 이 펀드는 고정 월 배포를 통해 장기 총 수익 잠재력을 제공하는 것을 목표로 하는 관리 배급 정책에 따라 운영됩니다.
배포는 순 투자 소득, 실현된 자본 이익 및 자본 반환을 포함한 다양한 구성 요소에서 발생할 수 있습니다. WIA는 수익 및 순 실현 자본 이익보다 더 많은 배포를 했다고 밝혔으며, 이는 배포의 일부가 주주에게 자본 반환을 나타낼 수 있음을 시사합니다.
펀드는 실제 배포 금액과 세금 보고를 위한 출처가 회계 연도의 나머지 기간 동안의 투자 성과에 따라 달라질 것이라고 강조합니다. 주주는 세금 보고 목적으로 1099-DIV 양식을 받게 됩니다. 펀드 이사회는 관리 배급 정책을 종료하거나 중단할 권리를 보유하고 있으며, 이는 펀드의 시장 가격에 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다.
Western Asset Inflation-Linked Income Fund (WIA) a annoncé les détails de sa distribution pour le 31 mars 2025 et pour l'exercice fiscal 2025. Le Fonds fonctionne selon une politique de distribution gérée visant à offrir un potentiel de rendement total à long terme grâce à des distributions mensuelles fixes par action ordinaire.
Les distributions peuvent provenir de divers composants, y compris les revenus nets d'investissement, les gains en capital réalisés et le retour de capital. WIA a indiqué avoir distribué plus que ses revenus et ses gains en capital nets réalisés, ce qui suggère qu'une partie de la distribution pourrait représenter un retour de capital pour les actionnaires.
Le Fonds souligne que les montants réels des distributions et les sources pour la déclaration fiscale dépendront de sa performance d'investissement pour le reste de l'exercice fiscal. Les actionnaires recevront le formulaire 1099-DIV à des fins de déclaration fiscale pour l'année civile. Le Conseil d'administration du Fonds se réserve le droit de mettre fin ou de suspendre la politique de distribution gérée, ce qui pourrait avoir un impact sur le prix de marché du Fonds.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution or from the terms of the Plan. WIA estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the WIA distribution to shareholders may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that a shareholder invested in a Fund is paid back to them. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect WIA’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. The amounts and sources of distributions reported herein are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for 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 Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year that will describe how to report the Fund’s distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Fund Performance and Distribution Rate Information:
- Average Annual Total Return in relation to NAV represents the compound average of the Annual NAV Total Returns of the Fund for the five-year period ended through February 28, 2025. Annual NAV Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV over a year, assuming reinvestment of distributions paid.
- The Annualized Distribution Rate is the current fiscal period’s distribution rate annualized as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV as of February 28, 2025.
- Cumulative Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV from November 30, 2024 through February 28, 2025, assuming reinvestment of distributions paid.
- The Cumulative Fiscal Year-To-Date Distribution Rate is the dollar value of distributions for the fiscal period November 30, 2024 through February 28, 2025, as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV as of February 28, 2025.
This Fund has a managed distribution policy that seeks to deliver the Fund’s long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share. Distributions may be paid in part or in full from net investment income, realized capital gains and by returning capital, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if a Fund’s aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level, the difference will be distributed from the Fund’s assets and will constitute a return of the shareholder’s capital. A return of capital is not taxable; rather it reduces a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. The Board of Directors of the Fund may 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.
