In other recent news, the Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust has announced the continuation of its fixed monthly cash distributions to shareholders, with an increase in the annual distribution rate to $1.68 per share. This shift signifies a 27% rise from previous payouts, starting with the January 2025 distribution. The decision comes amidst the Board's ongoing exploration of strategic opportunities in what they perceive as an attractive equity market investment environment.

The Fund's distribution policy may be adjusted at any time by the Board of Trustees, and there is no guarantee of its indefinite continuation. In December, the Fund may issue an adjusting distribution to comply with the Internal Revenue Code's minimum distribution requirements for regulated investment companies, if necessary.

For 2025, the estimated distribution composition per share is approximately 3% from net investment income, 4% from net capital gains, and 93% as a return of capital on a book basis. These figures are not final for tax reporting purposes and may vary at year's end. Shareholders will receive detailed notifications of the distribution components and their tax treatments for 2025 distributions in early 2026 through Form 1099-DIV.
