PGP Pimco Global Stocksplus and Income Fund

Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”), the investment manager of PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund (NYSE: PGP), a closed-end fund (“PGP” or the “Fund”), has entered into a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that relates to PGP.

The settlement, which contains SEC findings that PIMCO neither admits nor denies, does not affect in any way PIMCO’s ability to manage PGP or any other client fund or account. The settlement relates to disclosures concerning paired interest rate swaps used by PGP, which the SEC alleges became a more significant source of the Fund’s current distributable income from September 1, 2014 through August 26, 2016. The disclosures in question subsequently were updated in PGP’s fiscal year-end 2016 annual shareholder report. PIMCO has agreed to pay the SEC $6.5 million in monetary penalties to settle the matter. The settlement contains no findings that PIMCO intended to mislead investors or breach any law.   

Additional Information

The common shares of the Fund trade on the New York Stock Exchange. As with any stock, the price of the Fund’s common shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. If you sell your common shares of the Fund, the price received may be more or less than your original investment. Shares of closed-end investment management companies, such as the Fund, frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value and may trade at a price that is less than the initial offering price and/or the net asset value of such shares. Further, if the Fund’s shares trade at a price that is more than the initial offering price and/or the net asset value of such shares, including at a substantial premium and/or for an extended period of time, there is no assurance that any such premium will be sustained for any period of time and will not decrease, or that the shares will not trade at a discount to net asset value thereafter.
