<p>這些基金根據管理分配計劃進行分配，該計劃規定以每年最低固定利率 8.00% 為 Allspring Utilities and High Income Fund，8.75% 為 Allspring Income Opportunities Fund，以及 8.75% 為 Allspring Multi-Sector Income Fund，向基金的普通股股東聲明每月分配，基於基金在過去 12 個月的平均每股淨資產值（NAV）。根據管理分配計劃，分配來源於收入，也可能來源於實收資本和/或資本收益。基金在任何期間的分配可能多於或少於基金在其投資上獲得的淨回報，因此不應作為業績的衡量標準或與收益或收入混淆。超過基金回報的分配將導致基金的淨資產值下降。投資者不應根據基金的分配金額或管理分配計劃的條款得出關於基金投資表現的任何結論。</p>
<p>Allspring Income Opportunities Fund 是一個封閉式高收益債券基金。該基金的投資目標是尋求高水平的當前收入。該基金可能作為次要目標，尋求資本增值，以符合其投資目標。</p>
<p>Allspring Multi-Sector Income Fund 是一個封閉式收入基金。該基金的投資目標是尋求高水平的當前收入，同時限制其對國內利率風險的整體暴露。</p>
<p>Allspring Utilities and High Income Fund 是一個封閉式股票和高收益債券基金。該基金的投資目標是尋求高水平的當前收入和適度的資本增長，重點提供税收優惠的股息收入。</p>
<p>本年度所有股息分配的最終來源確定將在年末後進行。用於税務報告的實際金額和來源將取決於基金在財政年度剩餘期間的投資經驗，並可能根據税收法規的變化而有所不同。每個基金將在日曆年向股東發送 1099-DIV 表格，告知股東如何為聯邦所得税目的報告這些分配。</p>
<p>有關 Allspring 封閉式基金的更多信息，請訪問 www.allspringglobal.com。</p>
<p>這些封閉式基金的股份僅可在其上市的證券交易所以當前市場價格進行購買和出售。基金的股份可能以溢價或折價交易，相對於基金的淨資產值，並且不能保證任何折價會減少。基金持有的證券的價值和/或產生的收入可能因一般市場條件或其他因素而下降，包括直接涉及這些證券發行人的因素。</p>
<p>股票證券的價值會因與證券發行人相關的特定因素而波動。債務證券面臨信用風險和利率風險，高收益證券和類似信用質量的未評級證券的違約風險更大，其價值往往比具有相似到期日的高評級證券更為波動。由於政治氣候變化、外國市場不穩定和外匯波動等固有風險，外國投資可能包含更多風險。國際投資的風險在新興或發展市場中被放大。集中投資於單一行業或部門的基金可能面臨比更為多樣化的基金更大的價格波動風險，因為該行業或部門的不利發展。小型和中型市值證券可能面臨與其大型市值同行相比，產品線較窄和財務資源有限相關的特殊風險。每個基金通過循環信貸設施進行槓桿，並且未來可能通過發行優先股來增加槓桿。</p>
<p>使用槓桿會帶來某些風險，包括但不限於淨資產值和普通股市場價格更大波動的可能性。衍生品涉及額外風險，包括利率風險、信用風險、不當估值風險以及與其設計對沖或緊密跟蹤的相關工具不相關的風險。與證券期權交易相關的風險眾多。</p>

</div><p>These funds make distributions in accordance with a managed distribution plan that provides for the declaration of monthly distributions to common shareholders of the fund at an annual minimum fixed rate of 8.00% for the Allspring Utilities and High Income Fund, 8.75% for the Allspring Income Opportunities Fund, and 8.75% for the Allspring Multi-Sector Income Fund based on the fund's average monthly net asset value (NAV) per share over the prior 12 months. Under the managed distribution plan, distributions are sourced from income and also may be sourced from paid-in capital and/or capital gains. The fund's distributions in any period may be more or less than the net return earned by the fund on its investments and therefore should not be used as a measure of performance or confused with yield or income. Distributions in excess of fund returns will cause the fund's NAV to decline. Investors should not draw any conclusions about the fund's investment performance from the amount of its distribution or from the terms of its managed distribution plan.</p>

The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax-reporting purposes will depend upon a fund's investment experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations.

</div><p>Shares of these closed-end funds are only available for purchase and sale at the current market price on the stock exchange on which it is listed. Shares of a fund may trade at either a premium or discount relative to the fund's net asset value, and there can be no assurance that any discount will decrease.

</div><p>Equity securities fluctuate in value in response to factors specific to the issuer of the security. Debt securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk, and high-yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality have a much greater risk of default and their values tend to be more volatile than higher-rated securities with similar maturities. Foreign investments may contain more risk due to the inherent risks associated with changing political climates, foreign market instability, and foreign currency fluctuations. Risks of international investing are magnified in emerging or developing markets. Funds that concentrate their investments in a single industry or sector may face increased risk of price fluctuation over more diversified funds due to adverse developments within that industry or sector. Small- and mid-cap securities may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines and limited financial resources compared with their large-cap counterparts. Each fund is leveraged through a revolving credit facility and also may incur leverage by issuing preferred shares in the future.</p>
