The Boards of Trustees for each of these closed-end funds have officially declared the distribution amounts, providing investors with clarity on future payments amid changing market dynamics.

Dividend Announcement Details

The following are key details regarding the announced dividends:

• - Ex-Date: February 18, 2025

• - Reinvestment Date: February 28, 2025

Fund-Specific Dividends

1. Invesco High Income Trust II (Ticker: VLT): The monthly dividend amounts to $0.09641 per share. This rate remains unchanged from prior distributions, providing stability for shareholders.
2. Invesco Senior Income Trust (Ticker: VVR): A monthly dividend of $0.03801 per share is declared. However, it is important to note that this represents a decrease from the previous amount of $0.0430 per share, which was in place until the end of 2024.

Managed Distribution Plans

Both funds operate under specific Managed Distribution Plans. The VLT Plan aims to provide shareholders with a consistent monthly payment based on an 8.5% distribution rate of the closing market price per share. Similarly, the VVR Plan aims to facilitate regular distributions despite fluctuations in investment income or capital gains. The emphasis of these plans is to ensure that shareholders receive predictable cash flows, although the payments are not guaranteed.

Potential Impact on Shareholders

It’s critical for shareholders to understand that the dividends paid may at times exceed the Fund’s actual investment income. In such cases, long-term capital gains and/or return of capital will be utilized to maintain the desired distribution levels. A return of capital implies that a portion of the funds invested by shareholders is being returned, which does not necessarily reflect the performance of the investments themselves. Therefore, it’s important for investors to be cautious when interpreting the distribution amounts as indicators of financial performance.

Compliance with Regulatory Requirements

As per Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, each fund will inform shareholders through a 19(a) Notice, which details the sources of the dividend payments. These notices will be issued along with press releases when distributions include elements other than net investment income. It is crucial to note that the reported amounts and sources in these notices are subject to adjustments based on the fund's performance during the fiscal year.

Looking Forward

The Boards of the Invesco funds will continuously review the Managed Distribution Plans and may make amendments as necessary. These changes could impact the market price of the funds' common shares. Hence, it is advisable for shareholders to review their investment strategies regularly and stay informed about any announcements or adjustments.

Investing in closed-end funds bears inherent risks, and past dividend distributions do not assure future payments. Investors are encouraged to assess their individual financial situations and consult financial professionals as needed to navigate the complexities of fund investments.

Conclusion

In summary, both Invesco High Income Trust II and Invesco Senior Income Trust have now officially declared their dividends for February 2025, with specified payment dates and amounts. While stability in dividend amounts is offered in the case of VLT, changes in VVR's payout may prompt investors to reconsider their positions.
