Thornburg Income Builder Opportunities Trust Monthly Distribution Announcement

Thornburg Income Builder Opportunities Trust (NASDAQ: TBLD) revealed today its plans to announce a monthly distribution of $0.10417 per share. This distribution is scheduled for February 20, 2026, and is a continuation of the Trust's strategy to provide consistent income to its shareholders.

As highlighted in the announcement, only shareholders who are on record as of February 12, 2026, will be eligible for this payment. This monthly distribution marks an essential aspect of the trust's commitment to delivering value to its investors.

Key Details of the Distribution

• - Amount: $0.10417
• - Payable Date: February 20, 2026
• - Ex-Dividend/Record Date: February 12, 2026
• - Change from Previous Declaration: No Change

Understanding the Distribution Structure

It's important to note that while the monthly distribution indicates a commitment to income generation, it is calculated based on a sum of distributions over four quarters divided by the Trust's net asset value or market price per share at the announcement date. The breakdown reveals that the majority of the current distribution comprises net investment income. Specifically, $0.08642 (83%) is derived from net investment income, while $0.01775 (17%) accounts for net realized short-term capital gains. No part of the distribution includes long-term capital gains or a return of capital at this moment.

Implications for Shareholders

Investors should be aware that not all distributions reflect net income or profit. In some cases, portions of the distribution can be classified as a return of capital, which effectively returns a part of the investment made into the Trust. This mechanism can affect potential tax implications and investors’ net returns. Ultimately, a more prudent approach is needed to assess future distributions as they can also mark a return of capital, especially as they relate back to individual shareholder tax bases.

Furthermore, regarding the investment objectives of the Trust, it is designed to provide an optimal combination of income and capital gains. The Trust invests significantly—over 80% of its assets—in a wide array of income-producing securities ranging from equities to debt instruments of both U.S. and international companies, including emerging markets.

Expecting the Best Outcomes

As a registered investment company, Thornburg emphasizes accountability and transparency in monitoring its distributions. The Trust is aware of the 4% excise tax consequences that arise should it fail to adequately distribute requisite amounts by year-end. To remain competitive and aligned with shareholder interests, the Trust continuously evaluates ongoing distributions and possible returns of capital.

In conclusion, the Trust is on a solid footing with its distribution narrative, offering shareholders reliable income opportunities. For further details and updates, shareholders can visit the official website or reach out through the provided communication channels.
