<p>2025 年 11 月 12 日- 下午 02:07</p>
<p>紐約，2025 年 11 月 12 日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）—— Bancroft Fund Ltd.（紐約證券交易所美國：BCV）（“基金”）的董事會宣佈將於 2025 年 12 月 30 日向 2025 年 11 月 24 日登記在冊的普通股股東支付每股 0.35 美元的現金分配。</p>
<p>不參與基金自動分紅再投資計劃的股東將有權選擇以現金或基金的受益股份形式接收分配。無論股東選擇以何種方式接收，分配均需納税。</p>
<p>該選項的截止日期為 2025 年 12 月 15 日。未作出選擇的股東將以受益股份形式接收分配。</p>
<p>持有人在股份選項下有權接收的股份數量將於 2025 年 12 月 16 日確定，依據該日期基金受益股份的收盤市場價格或其淨資產值，以較低者為準。</p>
<p>基金計劃支付的分配金額將是基金過去 12 個月平均月末市場價格的 5% 或符合《國內税收法典》對受監管投資公司的最低分配要求的金額，以較高者為準。</p>
<p>每個季度，董事會會審查來自收入、實現的資本收益或可用資本的任何潛在分配金額。董事會將繼續監控基金的分配水平，考慮基金的淨資產值和當前的金融市場環境。如有必要，基金將在 12 月支付調整分配，包括超過季度分配的任何額外收入和淨實現的資本收益。基金的分配政策可隨時由董事會修改或終止，無法保證該政策將繼續。分配率不應被視為基金投資的股息收益率或總回報。</p>
<p>所有或部分分配可能被視為個人的長期資本收益或合格股息收入（或兩者的組合），每項均需遵循長期資本收益的最高聯邦所得税率，目前在應税賬户中為 20%（或根據個人的税級可能更低）。此外，某些美國股東（個人、遺產或信託）如果收入超過某些閾值，將需要對其 “淨投資收入” 支付 3.8% 的醫療保險附加税，該收入包括從基金收到的股息和出售或其他處置基金股份的資本收益。</p>
<p>如果基金未能產生足夠的收益（股息和利息收入減去費用和實現的淨資本收益），以等於或超過基金在某一年支付的總分配金額，則超出基金收益的分配金額將被視為資本回報。由於這將被視為對股東原始投資部分的回報，因此通常不需納税，並將視為對股東成本基礎的減少。</p>
<p>長期資本收益、合格股息收入、投資公司應税收入和資本回報（如有）將按比例分配給年度內所有普通股股東的分配。每項分配的估計組成部分會更新並在分配通知中提供給登記股東，並可在我們的網站（www.gabelli.com）上獲取。2025 年所有分配的最終來源確定將在年末後進行，可能與季度估計有所不同。股東不應根據當前分配的金額對基金的投資表現做出任何結論。所有擁有應税賬户的個人股東將在 2026 年初通過 1099-DIV 表格收到有關 2025 年所有分配的組成部分和税務處理的書面通知。</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>2025 年 11 月 12 日- 下午 02:07</p>
</div><p>RYE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Trustees of Bancroft Fund Ltd. (NYSE American:BCV) (the “Fund”) declared a $0.35 per share cash distribution payable on December 30, 2025 to common shareholders of record on November 24, 2025.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>紐約，2025 年 11 月 12 日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）—— Bancroft Fund Ltd.（紐約證券交易所美國：BCV）（“基金”）的董事會宣佈將於 2025 年 12 月 30 日向 2025 年 11 月 24 日登記在冊的普通股股東支付每股 0.35 美元的現金分配。</p>
</div><p>Shareholders who are not members of the Fund’s Automatic Dividend Investment Plan will be given the option to receive the distribution either in cash or in beneficial shares of the Fund. The distribution is taxable to shareholders whether or not they choose to receive cash.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>不參與基金自動分紅再投資計劃的股東將有權選擇以現金或基金的受益股份形式接收分配。無論股東選擇以何種方式接收，分配均需納税。</p>
</div><p>The expiration date of the option is December 15, 2025. Shareholders who do not make an election will receive the distribution in beneficial shares.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>該選項的截止日期為 2025 年 12 月 15 日。未作出選擇的股東將以受益股份形式接收分配。</p>
</div><p>The number of shares that holders will be entitled to receive under the share option will be determined on December 16, 2025, either on the basis of the closing market price of the Fund’s beneficial shares or its net asset value, whichever is lower on that date.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>持有人在股份選項下有權接收的股份數量將於 2025 年 12 月 16 日確定，依據該日期基金受益股份的收盤市場價格或其淨資產值，以較低者為準。</p>
</div><p>The Fund intends to pay the greater of either an annual distribution of 5% of the Fund’s trailing 12-month average month-end market price or an amount that meets the minimum distribution requirement of the Internal Revenue Code for regulated investment companies.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>基金計劃支付的分配金額將是基金過去 12 個月平均月末市場價格的 5% 或符合《國內税收法典》對受監管投資公司的最低分配要求的金額，以較高者為準。</p>
</div><p>Each quarter, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution from the income, realized capital gain, or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net asset value and the current financial market environment. If necessary, the Fund pays an adjusting distribution in December, which includes any additional income and net realized capital gains in excess of the quarterly distributions. The Fund’s distribution policy is subject to modification or termination by the Board of Trustees at any time, and there can be no guarantee that the policy will continue. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>每個季度，董事會會審查來自收入、實現的資本收益或可用資本的任何潛在分配金額。董事會將繼續監控基金的分配水平，考慮基金的淨資產值和當前的金融市場環境。如有必要，基金將在 12 月支付調整分配，包括超過季度分配的任何額外收入和淨實現的資本收益。基金的分配政策可隨時由董事會修改或終止，無法保證該政策將繼續。分配率不應被視為基金投資的股息收益率或總回報。</p>
</div><p>All or part of the distribution may be treated as long-term capital gain or qualified dividend income (or a combination of both) for individuals, each subject to the maximum federal income tax rate for long term capital gains, which is currently 20% in taxable accounts for individuals (or less depending on an individual’s tax bracket). In addition, certain U.S. shareholders who are individuals, estates or trusts and with income that exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surcharge on their &#34;net investment income&#34;, which includes dividends received from the Fund and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of the Fund.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>所有或部分分配可能被視為個人的長期資本收益或合格股息收入（或兩者的組合），每項均需遵循長期資本收益的最高聯邦所得税率，目前在應税賬户中為 20%（或根據個人的税級可能更低）。此外，某些美國股東（個人、遺產或信託）如果收入超過某些閾值，將需要對其 “淨投資收入” 支付 3.8% 的醫療保險附加税，該收入包括從基金收到的股息和出售或其他處置基金股份的資本收益。</p>
</div><p>If the Fund does not generate sufficient earnings (dividends and interest income, less expenses, and realized net capital gain) equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions paid by the Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund’s earnings would be deemed a return of capital. Since this would be considered a return of a portion of a shareholder’s original investment, it is generally not taxable and would be treated as a reduction in the shareholder’s cost basis.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>如果基金未能產生足夠的收益（股息和利息收入減去費用和實現的淨資本收益），以等於或超過基金在某一年支付的總分配金額，則超出基金收益的分配金額將被視為資本回報。由於這將被視為對股東原始投資部分的回報，因此通常不需納税，並將視為對股東成本基礎的減少。</p>
</div><p>Long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, investment company taxable income and return of capital, if any, will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common shareholders for the year. The estimated components of each distribution are updated and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final determination of the sources of all distributions in 2025 will be made after year end and can vary from the quarterly estimates. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution. All individual shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all 2025 distributions in early 2026 via Form 1099-DIV.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>長期資本收益、合格股息收入、投資公司應税收入和資本回報（如有）將按比例分配給年度內所有普通股股東的分配。每項分配的估計組成部分會更新並在分配通知中提供給登記股東，並可在我們的網站（www.gabelli.com）上獲取。2025 年所有分配的最終來源確定將在年末後進行，可能與季度估計有所不同。股東不應根據當前分配的金額對基金的投資表現做出任何結論。所有擁有應税賬户的個人股東將在 2026 年初通過 1099-DIV 表格收到有關 2025 年所有分配的組成部分和税務處理的書面通知。</p>
