The distribution will be payable on July 31, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business July 24, 2025.

The Fund is a closed-end fund that seeks to provide growth of capital along with income in a registered fund format. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing directly and indirectly (e.g., through derivatives that are the economic equivalent of direct investments) in the following categories of securities and instruments: (i) investments in securities or other instruments directly or indirectly secured by real estate, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), preferred equity, securities convertible into equity securities and mezzanine debt; (ii) other instruments, including, but not limited to, secured and unsecured fixed-rate loans and corporate bonds, distressed securities, mezzanine securities, structured products (including but not limited to mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and asset-backed securities), convertible and preferred securities, equities (public and private), and futures and options; and (iii) floating rate loans and other securities deemed to be floating rate investments.

The Fund declares and pays distributions monthly.

About the Highland Opportunities and Income Fund

The Highland Opportunities and Income Fund (NYSE: HFRO) is a closed-end fund managed by NexPoint Asset Management, L.P. For more information visit nexpointassetmgmt.com/opportunities-income-fund.

Effective June 15, 2023, the Fund changed its name to the Highland Opportunities and Income Fund to reflect a new investment objective. Under the modified investment objective, the Fund will pursue growth of capital along with income. More information can be found in the

press release

announcing the changes, issued on May 16, 2023.

About NexPoint Asset Management, L.P.

NexPoint Asset Management, L.P. is an SEC-registered investment adviser on the NexPoint investment platform. It is the adviser to a suite of registered open-end and close-end funds. For more information visit nexpointassetmgmt.com.


Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Highland Opportunities and Income Fund carefully before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 1-800-357-9167 or visiting 



nexpointassetmgmt.com



.


Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

The distribution may include a return of capital. Please refer to the 19(a)-1 Source of Distribution Notice on the

NexPoint Asset Management website

 for Section 19 notices that provide estimated amounts and sources of the Fund’s distributions, which should not be relied upon for tax reporting purposes.

No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the Fund’s shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the Fund. Therefore, the Fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value. Past performance does not guarantee future results.


Closed-End Fund Risk.

 The Fund is a closed-end investment company designed primarily for long-term investors and not as a trading vehicle. No assurance can be given that a shareholder will be able to sell his or her shares on the NYSE when he or she chooses to do so, and no assurance can be given as to the price at which any such sale may be affected.


Credit Risk.

 The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in Senior Loans or other securities that are rated below investment grade and unrated Senior Loans deemed by NexPoint to be of comparable quality. Securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as “high yield securities” or “junk securities.” They are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuing company’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. Non-payment of scheduled interest and/or principal would result in a reduction of income to the Fund, a reduction in the value of the Senior Loan experiencing non-payment and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Fund. Investments in high yield Senior Loans and other securities may result in greater NAV fluctuation than if the Fund did not make such investments.


Real Estate Industry Risk

: Issuers principally engaged in real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts, may be subject to risks similar to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including: (i) changes in general economic and market conditions; (ii) changes in the value of real estate properties; (iii) risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition; (iv) increases in property taxes and operating expenses; (v) changes in zoning laws; (vi) casualty and condemnation losses; (vii) variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to tenants; (viii) the availability of financing and (ix) changes in interest rates and leverage.


Illiquidity of Investments Risk.

 The investments made by the Fund may be illiquid, and consequently the Fund may not be able to sell such investments at prices that reflect the Investment Adviser’s assessment of their value or the amount originally paid for such investments by the Fund.


Ongoing Monitoring Risk.

 On behalf of the several Lenders, the Agent generally will be required to administer and manage the Senior Loans and, with respect to collateralized Senior Loans, to service or monitor the collateral. Financial difficulties of Agents can pose a risk to the Fund.

Highland Global Allocation Fund Declares Monthly Distributions of $0.088 Per Share

PR Newswire


DALLAS
, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Highland Global Allocation Fund (NYSE: HGLB) (“the “Fund”) today announced the declaration of monthly distributions of $0.088 per share, payable on the dates noted below. Under the Fund’s level distribution policy, the annual distribution rate has been reset to an amount equal to 8.5% of the average of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share, as reported for the final five trading days of the 2024 calendar year. The Fund is declaring distributions of $0.088 per month for July through September 2025.

The following dates apply to the distributions declared:

Ex-Date

Record Date

Payable Date

July 24, 2025

July 24, 2025

July 31, 2025

August 22, 2025

August 22, 2025

August 29, 2025

September 23, 2025

September 23, 2025

September 30, 2025

About the Level Distribution Policy 

In March 2019, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved a level distribution policy (the “Level Distribution Policy”) under which the Fund makes monthly distributions to stockholders at a constant and fixed (but not guaranteed) rate that will reset annually to a rate calculated based on the average of the Fund’s NAV per share (the “Distribution Amount”), as reported for the final five trading days of the month preceding the announcement of distributions. The Distribution Amount applicable to Q3 2025 was reset based upon the results of the distribution rate calculation. The Distribution Amount applicable for future periods may be reset based upon the results of the distribution rate calculation.

There can be no guarantee that the Level Distribution Policy will be successful in its goals. The Fund’s ability to maintain a stable level of distributions to shareholders will depend on a number of factors, including changes in the financial market, market interest rates, and performance of overall equity and fixed-income markets. As portfolio and market conditions change, the ability of the Fund to continue to make distributions in accordance with the Level Distribution Policy may be affected.

Shareholders have the option of reinvesting distributions in additional common shares through the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, or electing to receive cash by contacting AST, their financial adviser or their brokerage firm.  Shareholders who wish to receive their distribution in cash must opt out of the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. For further information, shareholders should carefully read the description of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan in the prospectus.

The Board may amend the Level Distribution Policy, the Distribution Amount or distribution intervals, or the Fund may cease distributions entirely, at any time, without prior notice to shareholders. The announcement of, amendment to, or later termination of this Level Distribution Policy may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares of common stock.

The Fund may at times, in its discretion, pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular period and may at times pay out such accumulated undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in other periods in order to permit the Fund to maintain a stable level of distributions. As a result, the dividend paid by the Fund to shareholders for any particular period may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such period. The Fund intends to distribute all realized net long-term capital gains, if any, no more than once every twelve months.

To the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, the Fund’s distributions may consist of return of capital in order to maintain the distribution amount. A return of capital occurs when some or all of the money that shareholders invested in the Fund is paid back to them. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’ Any such returns of capital will decrease the Fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund’s expense ratio. In addition, the Level Distribution Policy may require the Fund to sell its portfolio securities at a less than opportune time to meet the distribution amount.

Shareholders should not make any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s distributions or the Fund’s Level Distribution Policy. With each distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income, the Fund will issue a notice to shareholders that will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other related information. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in the notice to shareholders are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the distributions for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during its full fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send individual shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for each calendar year that will tell them how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.  Please consult your tax advisor about any tax implications applicable to you in light of your particular circumstances.

Boqii Holding Limited Announces Update on Substitution Listing and 1-for-160 Reverse Split

PR Newswire


SHANGHAI
, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As Boqii Holding Limited (“Boqii” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: BQ) previously announced, the Company plans to cease the listing of its American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) on the  NYSE American LLC (“AMEX”) and list its Class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.16 each on a post-reverse stock split basis for trading on AMEX in substitution for its ADSs (the “Substitution Listing”). The Company expects that its ADSs will cease trading on AMEX at 4:00 p.m. (New York Time) on July 10, 2025, and that the ADR Facility will be terminated as of the close of business (New York Time) on July 11, 2025.

In addition, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Depositary”) of the Company’s ADS will distribute to all holders and beneficial owners of the Company’s ADRs a notification (the “Termination Notice”) regarding termination of the Deposit Agreement, dated July 1, 2025 by and among the Company, the Depositary, and all holders and beneficial owners of the ADRs dated September 29, 2020 (the “Deposit Agreement”). The effective date for the termination of the Deposit Agreement will be July 11, 2025 (the “Effective Date”).

Immediately following the termination of the ADR Facility and on the Effective Date, the Company will implement a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”), pursuant to which every 160 existing ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.001 each will be consolidated into one new ordinary share of a par value of US$0.16 each. As a result, on the Effective Date, each holder of the Company’s ordinary shares should expect to receive one (1) new ordinary share, with a par value of US$0.16 each, for every 160 existing ordinary shares previously held; while holders of ADSs will have their ADSs automatically cancelled and would be entitled to receive the corresponding underlying Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.16 per share, at a rate 15/16, or 0.9375 new class A ordinary share for each ADS cancelled (the “Mandatory Exchange”). All resulting fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares on the participant level.

The Company expects that its Class A ordinary shares will commence trading on AMEX on a post- Reverse Split basis and after the Mandatory Exchange under the symbol “BQ” on July 11, 2025. Following the Reverse Split, the Company’s total outstanding ordinary shares will be reduced to 2,879,559 shares, comprising 2,798,073 Class A ordinary shares and 81,486 Class B ordinary shares. The Company expects that the trading price of its consolidated Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted as a result of the Mandatory Exchange and the Reverse Split.
