Thornburg Income Builder Opportunities Trust Announces Monthly Distribution

On August 1, 2025, Thornburg Income Builder Opportunities Trust (NASDAQ: TBLD) made a notable announcement regarding its monthly distribution plan. For its common shares, the Trust will distribute $0.10417 per share on August 20, 2025. This distribution is specifically aimed at shareholders recorded by August 11, 2025.

The details surrounding this monthly distribution are as follows:

• - Amount: $0.10417
• - Payable Date: August 20, 2025
• - Record Date: August 11, 2025
• - Change from Previous Declaration: No change noted.

The source of the distribution is primarily from the Trust’s net investment income, made up of regular interest and dividends. It is important for shareholders to note that this distribution may also consist of capital gains and could include a short-term capital gain, though it does not incorporate any return of capital or long-term capital gain.

To give clarity regarding the calculation of the distribution rates, these are derived from the total amount distributed per share over a four-quarter period, divided by either the net asset value or market price per share at the time of the announcement.

The Trust has shared a breakdown of its cumulative distributions as follows:

Important Considerations for Shareholders:

It’s crucial that shareholders do not make assumptions about the distribution’s source being solely net income or profit. Any part of the distribution that returns capital does not reflect the performance of the Trust’s investments directly and should not be confused with yield. Future distributions could potentially include returns of capital as well.

For the fiscal year running from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, the Trust must adhere to certain criteria to avoid incurring a 4% excise tax. This requires the Trust to distribute at least 98% of its ordinary income and capital gains, calculated specifically for the calendar year.
