EMD estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the EMD distribution to shareholders may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that a shareholder invested in a Fund is paid back to them. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect EMD\u2019s investment performance and should not be confused with \u2018yield\u2019 or \u2018income\u2019. The amounts and sources of distributions reported herein are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund\u2019s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year that will describe how to report the Fund\u2019s distributions for federal income tax purposes.<\/b><\/p>\n \nAverage Annual Total Return (in relation to the change in net asset value (NAV) for the 5-year period ended on 2\/28\/2023)1<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nAnnualized Distribution Rate (as a percentage of NAV as of 2\/28\/2023)2<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nCumulative Total Return (in relation to the change in NAV for the fiscal period through 2\/28\/2023)3<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nCumulative Fiscal Year-To-Date Distribution Rate (as a percentage of NAV as of 2\/28\/2023)4<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n-2.11%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n8.27%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n0.75%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n1.57%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n Fund Performance and Distribution Rate Information:<\/b><\/p>\n \nThis Fund has a managed distribution policy that seeks to deliver the Fund\u2019s long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share. Distributions may be paid in part or in full from net investment income, realized capital gains and by returning capital, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if a Fund\u2019s aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level, the difference will be distributed from the Fund\u2019s assets and will constitute a return of the shareholder\u2019s capital. A return of capital is not taxable; rather it reduces a shareholder\u2019s tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. The Board of Directors of the Fund may terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund\u2019s shares.<\/p>\n For further information on Western Asset Emerging Markets Debt Fund Inc., please visit our web site at: <\/b>www.franklintempleton.com\/investments\/options\/closed-end-funds<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n \nData and commentary provided in this press release are for informational purposes only.
