Dividend History

Ex-Date	Pay Date	Amount	vs Prior	Why it changed
Mar 19, 2026	Mar 20, 2026	$0.1027	-1.5%
Mar 12, 2026	Mar 13, 2026	$0.1043	-38.9%	The payout decrease was driven by a contraction in the underlying asset's implied volatility, which compressed the options premiums available for the fund to harvest. Following the post-earnings volatility spike that supported the previous $0.1894 distribution, the subsequent stabilization in the underlying stock price reduced the income-generating potential of the fund's covered call strategy.

Jan 2, 2026	Jan 5, 2026	$0.1725	-16.9%	The payout decrease was driven by a compression in implied volatility for the underlying asset, as the market moved past the heightened volatility surrounding previous earnings cycles. With the options premium environment cooling, the fund generated less income from selling covered calls, resulting in the reduced distribution compared to the prior month.
