The above distribution was declared in accordance\nwith the Fund’s currently effective managed distribution plan (the\n“Plan”), whereby the Fund will make monthly distributions to shareholders\nat a fixed amount of $0.085 per share. Thus, the distribution amount shown\nexcludes special dividends (which are not paid pursuant to the plan). The Fund\nwill generally distribute amounts necessary to satisfy the Fund’s Plan and\nthe requirements prescribed by excise tax rules and Subchapter M of the\nInternal Revenue Code. The Plan is intended to provide shareholders with a\nconstant, but not guaranteed, fixed minimum rate of distribution each month\nand is intended to narrow the discount between the market price and the net\nasset value of the Fund’s common shares, but there is no assurance that the\nPlan will be successful in doing so.\n\nUnder the Plan, to the extent that sufficient investment income is not\navailable on a monthly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains\nand/or return of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution rate.\nAs a result, long-term capital gains and/or return of capital may be a\nmaterial source of any distribution. No conclusions should be drawn about the\nFund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s distributions\nor from the terms of the Fund’s Plan. The Board of Trustees (the\n“Board”) may amend the terms of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time\nwithout prior notice to Fund shareholders. No level of distribution can be\nguaranteed. The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an adverse\neffect on the market price of the Fund’s common shares. The Plan is subject\nto the periodic review by the Board, including a yearly review of the annual\nminimum fixed rate to determine if an adjustment should be made.\n\nIn compliance with Rule 19a-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940,\nshareholders will receive a notice that details the source of income for the\nabove dividend, such as net investment income, gain from the sale of\nsecurities and return of principal; however, determination of the actual\nsource of the foregoing dividend can only be made at year-end. The actual\nsource amounts of all Fund dividends will be included in the Fund’s annual\nor semiannual reports. In addition, the tax treatment may differ from the\naccounting treatment used to calculate the source of the Fund’s dividends as\nshown on shareholders’ statements. Shareholders should refer to their Form\n1099-DIV for the character and amount of distributions for income tax\nreporting purposes. Since each shareholder’s tax situation is unique, it may\nbe advisable to consult a tax advisor as to the appropriate treatment of Fund\ndistributions.\n\nPast Performance is No Assurance of Future Results. Investment return and\nprincipal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when\nsold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors should\nconsider the investment objective, risks and expenses carefully.

There can be no assurance that the Fund will\nmeet its investment objective. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by\ninvesting globally in debt and equity securities of public and private\ncompanies, which includes, among other things, investments in closed‐end\nfunds, special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), reinsurance, and\npublic and private debt instruments. The Fund also may utilize derivatives\nincluding but not limited to total return swaps, credit default swaps, options\nand futures, in seeking to enhance returns and/or to reduce portfolio risk.\n\nThe value of the Fund’s investments in equity securities of public and\nprivate, listed and unlisted companies and equity derivatives generally varies\nwith the performance of the issuer and movements in the equity markets more\ngenerally. As a result, the Fund may suffer losses if it invests in equity\ninstruments of issuers whose performance diverges from the Fund’s investment\nmanager’s expectations or if equity markets generally move in a single\ndirection and the Fund has not hedged against such a general move. The Fund\ninvests in closed-end funds and SPACs, which are subject to additional risks\nand considerations. The performance of reinsurance-related securities and the\nreinsurance industry itself are tied to the occurrence of various triggering\nevents, including but not limited to weather, natural disasters (hurricanes,\nearthquakes, etc.), non-natural large catastrophes and other specified events\ncausing physical and/or economic loss. To the extent the Fund invests in\nreinsurance-related securities for which a triggering event occurs, losses\nassociated with such event could result in losses to the Fund’s investment,\nand a series of major triggering events affecting a large portion of the\nreinsurance- related securities held by the Fund could result in substantial\nlosses to the Fund’s investment. The Fund may invest in high yield\nsecurities, which are speculative in nature and are subject to additional risk\nfactors such as increased possibility of default, illiquidity of the security,\nand changes in value based on changes in interest rates. Changes in short-term\nmarket interest rates may directly affect the yield on the Fund’s common\nshares. If such rates fall, the Fund’s yield may also fall. If interest rate\nspreads on bonds and loans owned by the Fund decline in general, the yield on\nthe bonds and loans will likely fall and the value of such bonds and loans may\ndecrease. When short-term market interest rates rise, because of the lag\nbetween changes in such short-term rates and the resetting of the floating\nrates on bonds and loans in the Fund’s portfolio, the impact of rising rates\nwill be delayed to the extent of such lag. Because of the limited secondary\nmarket for certain bonds and loans, the Fund’s ability to sell such\nsecurities in a timely fashion and/or at a favorable price may be limited. An\nincrease in the demand for bonds and loans may adversely affect the rate of\ninterest payable on new bonds and loans acquired by the Fund, and it may also\nincrease the price of bonds and loans purchased by the Fund in the secondary\nmarket. A decrease in the demand for bonds and loans may adversely affect the\nprice of bonds and loans in the Fund’s portfolio, which would cause the\nFund’s net asset value to decrease. The Fund’s use of leverage, if any,\nthrough borrowings or issuance of preferred shares can adversely affect the\nyield on the Fund’s common shares. Investment in foreign borrowers involves\nspecial risks, including but not limited to potentially less rigorous\naccounting requirements, differing legal systems and potential political,\nsocial and economic adversity. The Fund may engage in currency exchange\ntransactions to seek to hedge, as closely as practicable, all of the economic\nimpact to the Fund arising from foreign currency fluctuations. Other risks\ninclude, but are not limited to, the use of derivatives, the potential lack of\ndiversification in the Fund’s portfolio, and the fact that the Fund’s\nportfolio may be concentrated in a small group of industries or industry\nsectors from time to time. Investors should consult the Fund’s filings with\nthe Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the materials on the\nFund’s website for a more detailed discussion of these or other risk factors\nthat affect the Fund.\n\nAbout Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund.
