    Virtus Convertible & Income Fund (NYSE:NCV) and Virtus Convertible & Income Fund II (NYSE:NCZ) announced today that their Boards of Trustees approved a 1-for-4 reverse stock split for each Fund effective on or about the start of trading on Monday, February 10, 2025 ("Effective Date").

    The Funds' common shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis with new CUSIPs when the market opens on the Effective Date and one new share will be issued for every four outstanding common shares currently outstanding of NCV and NCZ. Shareholders will be paid in cash for any fractional shares that may result from the reverse stock split (the "Transaction"). Immediately following the Transaction, each shareholder of record will hold the same percentage of their Fund's outstanding common stock after the Transaction as held immediately prior to the Transaction and will receive the same monthly cash flow from distributions on net asset value, subject to adjustments for the intended cash repurchase of fractional shares resulting from the Transaction.

    The Transaction is expected to result in a higher per-share market price for each Fund's common shares. The Board believes that increasing the per-share market price may broaden the range of potential investors in each Fund's shares, thereby potentially improving the market for, and liquidity of, the Funds' common stock. In addition, the Transaction may benefit shareholders and the Funds by reducing certain per-share transaction fees and other administrative costs, such as stock exchange listing fees.

    Each Fund will retain its trading symbol but will be assigned a new CUSIP number, which will be announced prior to the Transaction and will become effective on the Effective Date.

    Prior to the Transaction, the Funds announced the following distributions on their respective common shares:

    • What major decision was announced for the Virtus Convertible & Income Fund and Virtus Convertible & Income Fund II?

      The Funds' Boards of Trustees have approved a 1-for-4 reverse stock split, which means that for every four shares a shareholder currently owns, they will receive one new share effective February 10, 2025.

    • What is the intended purpose of the planned reverse stock split for Virtus Funds?

      The reverse stock split aims to increase the per-share market price, potentially attracting a broader range of investors and improving the liquidity of the Funds' shares while also reducing certain per-share transaction fees and administrative costs.

    • How will the reverse stock split affect shareholders' ownership and cash flow from distributions?

      Shareholders will hold the same percentage of their Fund's common stock after the reverse stock split as they did before, and they will continue to receive the same monthly cash flow distributions, subject to adjustments.

    • What are the new distribution amounts for Virtus Convertible & Income Fund (NCV) and Virtus Convertible & Income Fund II (NCZ) post-split?

      The new distribution amounts will be $0.136 for NCV and $0.120 for NCZ, reflecting increases due to the reverse stock split, with the new rates effective after the transaction.

    • Will the Funds retain their current trading symbols after the reverse stock split?

      The Funds' new CUSIP numbers will be announced prior to the transaction, allowing for easier identification and tracking of shares following the reverse stock split.
