This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO initially filed by PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Fund”). This Schedule TO relates to the Fund’s offer to purchase for cash up to 100% of its outstanding shares of auction-rate preferred shares, $0.00001 par value and a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, designated Auction-Rate Preferred Shares, Series A, Series B, and Series C (the “Preferred Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 14, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the Fund’s related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal” which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended and supplemented from time to time, constitutes the “Offer”), copies of which have been previously filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) to the Schedule TO, respectively. The price to be paid for the Preferred Stock is an amount per share, net to the seller in cash, equal to 94.5% of the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (or $23,625 per share) in cash, plus any unpaid dividends accrued through September 18, 2023, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer, if properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in the Offer). The information set forth in the Offer is incorporated herein by reference with respect to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of this Amendment.
