Notes:

Investors should not necessarily draw any conclusions about the funds’ investment performance from the amount of these distributions.

Each fund estimates that a portion of its distribution does not represent income or realized capital gains. Therefore, such portion of its distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur when some or all of the money invested in the fund is returned to the investor. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the fund’s investment performance and should not be considered “yield” or “income.”

The amounts and sources of distributions reported under the notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its respective fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. Each fund will provide investors with a Form(s) 1099 for the calendar year that explains how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The funds are closed-end investment companies. The funds trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the following symbols: PHD, MAV, MHI and MIO.

Keep in mind, distribution rates are not guaranteed. A fund’s distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in actual or projected investment income, the level of undistributed net investment income, if any, and other factors. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. Once issued, common shares of closed-end funds are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange and frequently trade at prices lower than their net asset value. Net Asset Value (NAV) is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding. For performance data on Amundi US’s closed-end funds, please call 800-225-6292 or visit our closed-end pricing page.

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MAIA Biotechnology, Inc., (NYSE American: MAIA) (“MAIA”, the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing targeted immunotherapies for cancer, today announced that two of the Company’s independent directors, Ramiro Guerrero, JD, LL.M. and Stan V. Smith, Ph.D., purchased MAIA’s common stock and warrants in each of the Company’s recent private placement closings which occurred on November 1, 2024, and December 13, 2024. Total gross proceeds to MAIA from the closings were $3.4 million.

“As always, we much appreciate the continuing support by our directors and their commitment to our scientific innovation and successful clinical progress,” said Vlad Vitoc, M.D., CEO of MAIA.

“I believe MAIA is well positioned to create a great deal of value for its shareholders over time,” said Mr. Guerrero, director and long-term investor. “My increasing investment reflects my confidence in MAIA’s clinical strategy and THIO’s transformative potential for multiple hard-to-treat cancer indications.”

Mr. Guerrero is the founder and CEO of IMPERIO, Inc., a Chicago-based real estate investment and brokerage organization. In addition to his 20+ years in real estate, Mr. Guerrero is a venture capitalist aiding entrepreneurs and small businesses in business startups.

About THIO

THIO (6-thio-dG or 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine) is a first-in-class investigational telomere-targeting agent currently in clinical development to evaluate its activity in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Telomeres, along with the enzyme telomerase, play a fundamental role in the survival of cancer cells and their resistance to current therapies. The modified nucleotide 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine (THIO) induces telomerase-dependent telomeric DNA modification, DNA damage responses, and selective cancer cell death. THIO-damaged telomeric fragments accumulate in cytosolic micronuclei and activates both innate (cGAS/STING) and adaptive (T-cell) immune responses. The sequential treatment with THIO followed by PD-(L)1 inhibitors resulted in profound and persistent tumor regression in advanced, in vivo cancer models by induction of cancer type–specific immune memory. THIO is presently developed as a second or later line of treatment for NSCLC for patients that have progressed beyond the standard-of-care regimen of existing checkpoint inhibitors.

About MAIA Biotechnology, Inc.

MAIA is a targeted therapy, immuno-oncology company focused on the development and commercialization of potential first-in-class drugs with novel mechanisms of action that are intended to meaningfully improve and extend the lives of people with cancer. Our lead program is THIO, a potential first-in-class cancer telomere targeting agent in clinical development for the treatment of NSCLC patients with telomerase-positive cancer cells.

MAIA cautions that all statements, other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels or activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by such statements. The use of words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “future,” “potential,” or “continue,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that statements are not forward-looking. For example, all statements we make regarding (i) the initiation, timing, cost, progress and results of our preclinical and clinical studies and our research and development programs, (ii) our ability to advance product candidates into, and successfully complete, clinical studies, (iii) the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals, (iv) our ability to develop, manufacture and commercialize our product candidates and to improve the manufacturing process, (v) the rate and degree of market acceptance of our product candidates, (vi) the size and growth potential of the markets for our product candidates and our ability to serve those markets, and (vii) our expectations regarding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates, are forward looking. All forward-looking statements are based on current estimates, assumptions and expectations by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Any forward-looking statement expressing an expectation or belief as to future events is expressed in good faith and believed to be reasonable at the time such forward-looking statement is made. However, these statements are not guarantees of future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors beyond our control that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.

Pennsylvania American Water Proudly Recognizes American Water Charitable Foundation 2024 Workforce Readiness Grantees

Recipients include three nonprofit organizations across the Commonwealth, receiving $75K in total funding

MECHANICSBURG, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The American Water Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization established by American Water (NYSE: AWK), the largest regulated water and wastewater utility company in the U.S., and Pennsylvania American Water recently announced that three nonprofit educational institutions were each awarded a $25,000 Workforce Readiness Grant.

“We are grateful to the American Water Charitable Foundation for their generous workforce development grant,” said Regina Hiler, executive director of Butler County Area Vocational-Technical School, one of the organizations awarded a grant. “This funding will enhance our training and education efforts, equipping our students with essential skills for their futures. We look forward to the positive impact this grant will have on our community and students.”

Below is a list of the 2024 grantees throughout Pennsylvania, along with a brief description of how the $25,000 in funding will be used:

• Butler County Area Vocational-Technical School, Butler County – Grant funds will be used to underwrite the purchase of equipment for educating and training students to prepare them for high-priority occupations.
• Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, Lancaster County – Grant funds will be used to enhance outreach and curriculum related to the institution’s Water and Environment Technology Program, as well as to provide scholarships for financially disadvantaged students.
• Western Area Career and Technology Center, Washington County – Grant funds will be used to purchase personal protective equipment (PPE) for underserved students.

“The importance of developing a skilled workforce cannot be understated,” said Pennsylvania American Water President Justin Ladner, who also serves on the American Water Charitable Foundation board of trustees. “At Pennsylvania American Water, about 22% of our workforce is already eligible to retire, and that number increases to around 36% when we look five years out.
