Throughout the following full calendar years of 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, no distributions were paid. The fund maintains a distribution growth streak of zero years, as it has not recorded consecutive years of increasing annual distribution totals.

Because the only distribution occurred in December 2021, the fund demonstrates a short and irregular distribution history rather than an ongoing active schedule. Trailing 12-month distributions remain at $0 per share, and no regular payment cadence or recurring annual distribution pattern exists in the historical record.
