On February 24, 2023, BNY Mellon Alcentra Global Multi-Strategy Credit Fund, Inc. (Ticker: XALCX) today declared a distribution of $2.00 per share of common stock, payable on April 3, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 10, 2023. The ex-dividend date is March 9, 2023. The previous dividend declared in December 2022 was $1.75 per share of common stock. The increase to the Fund’s distribution this quarter was primarily due to higher yields earned on the Fund’s investments in floating rate securities, which amounted to approximately 67% of the Fund’s Managed Assets*, as of January 31, 2023.

The Fund intends to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to common shareholders on a quarterly basis. To permit the Fund to maintain a more stable quarterly distribution, the Fund may from time to time distribute less than the entire amount of income earned in a particular period. The undistributed income would be available to supplement future distributions. Under normal market conditions, the Fund is managed in a manner such that the Fund’s distributions are reflective of the Fund’s current and projected earnings levels. Various factors will affect the Fund’s earnings, including the Fund’s asset mix, the average maturity of the Fund’s portfolio and the Fund’s use of hedging, as well as broader market conditions and interest rate levels. As portfolio and market conditions may change, the distribution rate, the composition of the distribution and the Fund’s policy to declare and pay distributions quarterly may be subject to change, including by the Fund’s Board of Directors.
