On June 16, 2023, PIMCO entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC relating to certain disclosures in the 2014 and 2015 annual shareholder reports of PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (“PGP”) regarding PGP’s use of paired interest rate swaps in its portfolio.

On June 16, 2023, PIMCO entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC relating to an error in the fee waiver calculation used by PIMCO’s third-party vendor that caused certain advisory fees to be under-waived from April 2011 to November 2017 and charged to PIMCO All Asset All Authority Fund (“A4”). Under the terms of the settlement, PIMCO agreed to pay to the SEC a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $2.5 million.
