Goldman Sachs MLP Income Opportunities Fund Announces Quarterly Distribution of $0.205 Per Share

Goldman Sachs MLP Income Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) (NYSE:GMZ) is announcing its quarterly distribution of $0.205 per common share.1 The distribution is payable on the date noted below.

As the midstream sector has experienced a period of unprecedented volatility, the portfolio management team has taken numerous steps, including eliminating fund-level leverage, which we believe protects shareholder capital, and repositioning the Fund’s investments to withstand continued midstream volatility.

“We understand that investors highly value the income portion of the Fund’s total return and while the reduction is substantial, we believe it necessary in order to align the Fund’s payout with its cash flow receipts. Additionally, this new distribution level will allow for additional flexibility in the Fund’s portfolio. We appreciate our investors’ continued ownership of the Fund and will continue to evaluate all options in order to maximize shareholder value going forward,” said Portfolio Manager Kyri Loupis.

The distribution schedule is as follows:

Ex-Date:

May 21, 2020

Record Date:

May 22, 2020

Payable Date:

May 29, 2020

Amount:

$0.205 per share

It is currently anticipated that a portion of this distribution will be treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, however, the final characterization of such distribution will be made in early 2021 when the Fund can determine its earnings and profits for the full year. The final tax status of the distribution may differ substantially from this preliminary information.

In addition, portfolio holdings as of March 31, 2020, as well as additional information regarding the Fund, can be accessed through the GSAM Closed-End Fund landing page at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/cef.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“GSAM”) will host a conference call for the Fund on May 21, 2020 at 11:00 AM EDT. The call will briefly cover the market environment for U.S. energy sector and provide an update on the closed-end fund investment strategy.
