INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Boards of Trustees/Directors⁴ (each, a “Board”) of the shareholders of each of NRGX, RCS, PGP, PHK, PDI, PFL and PFN (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) of proxies to be voted at the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund and any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. The term “Meeting” is used throughout this joint Proxy Statement to refer to the Annual

1

Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund, as dictated by the context. The Meeting will be held at the offices of Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO” or the “Manager”), at 650 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660, on Thursday, June 29, 2023, at 8:00 A.M., Pacific Time. The principal executive offices of the Funds are located at 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019.

The Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice”), this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy cards are first being sent to Shareholders on or about May 19, 2023.

The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the holders of all shares of the Funds, which consist of holders of common shares of each Fund (the “Common Shareholders”) and holders of preferred shares of PFL, PFN and PHK (the “Preferred Shareholders” and, together with the Common Shareholders, the “Shareholders”). The Shareholders of each Fund are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. The Shareholders of each Fund will vote on the applicable proposal set forth herein (the “Proposal”) and on any other matters that may properly be presented for vote by the Shareholders of that Fund. The outcome of voting by the Shareholders of one Fund does not affect the outcome for the other Funds.

The Board of each Fund has fixed the close of business on April 28, 2023 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of Shareholders of each Fund entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. The Shareholders of each Fund on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote per share on each matter to which they are entitled to vote and that is to be voted on by Shareholders of the Fund, and a fractional vote with respect to fractional shares, with no cumulative voting rights in the election of Trustees. The following table sets forth the number of common shares (“Common Shares”) and preferred shares (“Preferred Shares” and, together with the Common Shares, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding of each Fund at the close of business on the Record Date:

PROPOSAL: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

In accordance with NRGX’s, PGP’s, PHK’s, PDI’s, PFL’s and PFN’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (each, a “Declaration”) and RCS’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), the Trustees have been divided into the following three classes (each, a “Class”): Class I, Class II and Class III. The expiration dates of the classes are described below, and each Trustee will remain in office until the end of his or her term and when his or her successor is elected and qualified. The Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board of each applicable Fund have recommended the nominees listed herein for election or re-election, as applicable, as Trustees by the Shareholders of the applicable Funds.

NRGX. With respect to NRGX, the term of office of the Class I Trustees will expire at the Meeting; the term of office of the Class II Trustees will expire at the annual meeting of Shareholders held during the 2023-2024 fiscal year (i.e., the annual meeting held during the fiscal year running from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024); and the term of office of the Class III Trustees will expire at the annual meeting of Shareholders held during the 2024-2025 fiscal year (i.e., the annual meeting held during the fiscal year running from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025). Currently, Sarah E. Cogan and Libby D. Cantrill are Class I Trustees and David Fisher and Kathleen A. McCartney are Class II Trustees. Mr. Fisher was previously elected as a Class III Trustee of NRGX by the Common Shareholders of NRGX, voting as a single class, and was redesignated by the Board as a Class II Trustee of NRGX effective June 29, 2022. The Governance and Nominating Committee has recommended to the Board that Ms. McCartney and Mr. Fisher each be nominated for election by the Common Shareholders as Class II Trustees, Ms. Cogan be nominated for re-election by the Common Shareholders as a Class I Trustee and Ms. Cantrill be nominated for election by the Common Shareholders as a Class I Trustee.

McCartney and Cantrill have been nominated for election by shareholders as Trustees of NRGX. Consistent with the Fund’s Declaration, if elected or re-elected, as applicable, the nominees shall hold office for terms coinciding with the Class of Trustees to which they have been designated.

This is the first annual meeting of shareholders of RCS following Mses. McCartney’s and Cantrill’s appointment to the Board and is therefore the first time Mses. McCartney and Cantrill have been nominated for election by shareholders as Directors of RCS. Consistent with the Fund’s Articles, if elected or re-elected, as applicable, the nominees shall hold office for terms coinciding with the Class of Directors to which they have been designated.

Kittredge and Fisher each be nominated for re-election by the Common Shareholders as Class II Trustees. This is the first annual meeting of shareholders of PDI following Ms. McCartney’s appointment to the Board and is therefore the first time Ms. McCartney has been nominated for election by shareholders as a Trustee of PDI. Consistent with the Fund’s Declaration, if elected or re-elected, as applicable, the nominees shall hold office for terms coinciding with the Class of Trustees to which they have been designated.

16

for the 2025-2026 fiscal year (i.e., the annual meeting held during the fiscal year running from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026).

All members of the Board of each of NRGX, PGP, PFL, PFN, PHK and PDI are and will remain, if elected or re-elected, as applicable, “Continuing Trustees,” as such term is defined in the Declaration of the applicable Fund, having either served as Trustee since the inception of the Fund or for thirty-six months, or having been nominated by at least a majority of the Continuing Trustees then members of the Board. Pursuant to the Declaration of NRGX, PGP, PFL, PFN, PHK and PDI, certain corporate actions and/or transactions involving the Fund outside of the ordinary course of business (including, among others, mergers, consolidations, significant dispositions of Fund assets, any shareholder proposals as to specific investment decisions and the conversion of the Fund to an open-end fund) would require the approval of 75% of the Fund’s outstanding shares, unless approved by both a majority of the Board of Trustees and 75% of the Continuing Trustees (in which case shareholders have only the voting rights required by the 1940 Act with respect to such transaction or corporate action, if any).

All members of the Board of RCS are and will remain, if elected or re-elected, as applicable, “Continuing Directors,” as such term is defined in the Articles, having either served as Director for a period of at least twelve months or having been a successor to a Continuing Director and been recommended to succeed a Continuing Director by a majority of the Continuing Directors then members of the Board.

At any annual meeting of Shareholders, any Trustee elected to fill a vacancy that has arisen since the preceding annual meeting of Shareholders (whether or not such vacancy has been filled by election of a new Trustee by the Board) shall hold office for a term that coincides with the term (or any remaining term) of the Class of Trustees to which such office was previously assigned, if such vacancy arose other than by an increase in the number of Trustees and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify. In the event such vacancy arose due to an increase in the number of Trustees, any Trustee so elected to fill such vacancy at an annual meeting shall hold office for a term which coincides with that of the Class of Trustee to which such office has been apportioned and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify.

17

The following table summarizes the nominees who will stand for election or re-election at the Meeting, the respective Classes of Trustees to which they have been designated and the expiration of their respective terms if elected or re-elected, as applicable:

18

Under this classified Board structure, generally only those Trustees in a single Class may be replaced in any one year, and it would require a minimum of two years to change a majority of the Board under normal circumstances. This structure may make it more difficult for a Fund’s Shareholders to change the majority of Trustees of a Fund and, thus, promotes the continuity of management and limits the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of a Fund by delaying the replacement of a majority of the Board.

Unless authority is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy for a Fund to vote each proxy for the persons listed above for that Fund. Each of the nominees has indicated he or she will serve if elected or

19

re-elected, as applicable, but if he or she should be unable to serve for a Fund, the proxy holders may vote in favor of such substitute nominee as the Board may designate (or, alternatively, the Board may determine to save a vacancy).

Trustees and Officers

The business of each Fund is managed under the direction of the Fund’s Board. Subject to the provisions of each Fund’s Declaration or Articles, its Bylaws and applicable state law, the Trustees have all powers necessary and convenient to carry out their responsibilities, including the election and removal of the Fund’s officers.

Board Leadership Structure — The Board of each Fund other than PDI, PGP and PHK consists of eight Trustees, six of whom are Independent Trustees, which represents 75% of the Trustees that are Independent Trustees. The Board of each of PDI, PGP and PHK consists of seven Trustees, six of whom are Independent Trustees, which represents 85% of the Trustees that are Independent Trustees. An Independent Trustee serves as Chair of the Board and is selected by a vote of the majority of the Independent Trustees. The Chair of the Board presides at meetings of the Board, acts as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys and other Trustees generally between meetings and performs such other functions as may be requested by the Board from time to time.

The Board of each Fund meets regularly four times each year to discuss and consider matters concerning the Funds and also holds special meetings to address matters arising between regular meetings. The Independent Trustees regularly meet outside the presence of management and are advised by independent legal counsel.

The Board of each Fund has established five standing Committees to facilitate the Trustees’ oversight of the management of the Funds: the Audit Oversight Committee, the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Valuation Oversight Committee, the Contracts Committee and the Performance Committee. The functions and role of each Committee are described below under “Committees of the Board of Trustees.” The membership of each Committee (other than the Performance Committee) consists of only the Independent Trustees. The Performance Committee consists of all the Trustees. The Independent Trustees believe that participation on each Committee allows them to participate in the full range of the Board’s oversight duties.

The Board reviews its leadership structure periodically and has determined that this leadership structure, including an Independent Chair, a supermajority of Independent Trustees and Committee membership limited to Independent Trustees (with the exception of the Performance Committee), is appropriate in

20

light of the characteristics and circumstances of each Fund. In reaching this conclusion, the Board considered, among other things, the predominant role of the Manager in the day-to-day management of Fund affairs, the extent to which the work of the Board is conducted through the Committees, the number of funds in the fund complex overseen by members, the variety of asset classes those funds include, the assets of each Fund and other funds in the fund complex and the management and other service arrangements of each Fund and such other funds. The Board also believes that its structure, including the presence of two Trustees who are or have been executives with the Manager or Manager-affiliated entities, facilitates an efficient flow of information concerning the management of each Fund to the Independent Trustees.

Risk Oversight — Each of the Funds has retained the Manager to provide investment advisory services and administrative services. Accordingly, the Manager is immediately responsible for the management of risks that may arise from Fund investments and operations. Some employees of the Manager serve as the Funds’ officers, including the Funds’ principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, chief compliance officer and chief legal officer. The Manager and the Funds’ other service providers have adopted policies, processes and procedures to identify, assess and manage different types of risks associated with each Fund’s activities. The Board oversees the performance of these functions by the Manager and the Funds’ other service providers, both directly and through the Committee structure it has established. The Board receives from the Manager a wide range of reports, both on a regular and as-needed basis, relating to the Funds’ activities and to the actual and potential risks of the Funds. These include reports on investment and market risks, custody and valuation of Fund assets, compliance with applicable laws and the Funds’ financial accounting and reporting. In addition, the Board meets periodically with the individual portfolio managers of the Funds or their delegates to receive reports regarding the portfolio management of the Funds and their performance, including their investment risks. In the course of these meetings and discussions with the Manager, the Board has emphasized the importance of the Manager maintaining vigorous risk-management programs and procedures with respect to the Funds.

In addition, the Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The CCO oversees the development of compliance policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to minimize the risk of violations of the federal securities laws (“Compliance Policies”). The CCO reports directly to the Independent Trustees, interacts with individuals within the Manager’s organization and provides presentations to the Board at its quarterly meetings and an annual report on the application of the Compliance Policies. The Board periodically discusses relevant risks affecting the Funds with the CCO at these

21

meetings. The Board has approved the Compliance Policies and reviews the CCO’s reports. Further, the Board annually reviews the sufficiency of the Compliance Policies, as well as the appointment and compensation of the CCO.

The Board recognizes that the reports it receives concerning risk management matters are, by their nature, typically summaries of the relevant information. Moreover, the Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect the Funds can be identified in advance; that it may not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks; that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) in seeking to achieve the Funds’ investment objectives; and that the processes, procedures and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness.

The Trustees and officers of the Funds, their year of birth, the positions they hold with the Funds, their term of office and length of time served, a description of their principal occupations during the past five years, the number of portfolios in the Fund Complex (as defined below) that the Trustee oversees and any other public company directorships held by the Trustee are listed in the two tables immediately following. Except as shown, each Trustee’s and officer’s principal occupation and business experience for the last five years have been with the employer(s) indicated, although in some cases the Trustee may have held different positions with such employer(s).

The following table states the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned as of the Record Date by each Trustee and nominee of each Fund and, on an aggregate basis, of any registered investment companies overseen by the Trustees in the “family of investment companies,” including the Funds.

To the knowledge of the Funds, as of the Record Date, Trustees and nominees who are Independent Trustees or Independent Nominees and their immediate family members did not own securities of an investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds or a person (other than a registered investment company) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with an investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds.

Compensation. Each of the Independent Trustees serves as a trustee of PIMCO Municipal Income Fund, PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund, PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund, PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II, PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund II, PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II, PIMCO Municipal Income Fund III, PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund III, PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund III, PIMCO Access Income Fund, PIMCO Corporate & Income Strategy Fund, PIMCO Corporate & Income Opportunity Fund, PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund, PIMCO Dynamic Income Opportunities Fund, PIMCO High Income Fund, PIMCO Income Strategy Fund, PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II, PIMCO Global StocksPLUS^®& Income Fund, PIMCO Energy and Tactical Credit Opportunities Fund, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Income Fund, Inc., each a closed-end management investment company for which the Manager serves as investment manager (together with the Funds, the “PIMCO Closed-End Funds”), as well as PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund, PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund, PIMCO California Flexible Municipal Income Fund and PIMCO Flexible Municipal Income Fund, each a closed-end investment management company that is operated as an “interval fund” for which the Manager serves as investment manager (the “PIMCO Interval Funds”) and PIMCO Managed Accounts Trust (“PMAT”), an open-end investment management company with multiple series for which the Manager serves as investment adviser and administrator (together with the PIMCO Closed-End Funds and the PIMCO Interval Funds, the “PIMCO-Managed Funds”).

Each Independent Trustee receives annual compensation of $250,000 for his or her service on the Boards of the PIMCO-Managed Funds, payable quarterly. The Independent Chair of the Boards receives an additional $75,000 per year, payable quarterly. The Audit Oversight Committee Chair receives an additional $35,000 annually, payable quarterly. The Performance Committee Chair and the Valuation Oversight Committee Chair each receive an additional $10,000 annually, payable quarterly. The Contracts Committee Chair receives an additional $25,000 annually, payable quarterly. Trustees are also reimbursed for meeting-related expenses.

Each Trustee’s compensation for his or her service as a Trustee on the Boards of the PIMCO-Managed Funds and other costs in connection with joint meetings of such Funds are allocated among the PIMCO-Managed Funds, as applicable, on the basis of fixed percentages as among PMAT, the PIMCO Interval Funds and the PIMCO Closed-End Funds. Trustee compensation and other costs are then further allocated pro rata among the individual funds within each grouping based on each such fund’s relative net assets.

33

The Funds have no employees. The Funds’ officers and Interested Trustees (Ms. Cantrill and Mr. Fisher) are compensated by the Manager or its affiliates, as applicable.

The Trustees do not currently receive any pension or retirement benefits from the Funds or the Fund Complex (see below).

The following table sets forth information regarding the compensation received by the Independent Trustees and nominees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.⁵ For the calendar year ended December 31, 2022, the Trustees received the compensation set forth in the table below for serving as Trustees of the Funds and other funds in the same Fund Complex as the Funds. Each officer and each Trustee who is a director, officer, partner, member or employee of the Manager, or of any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager, including any Interested Trustee, serves without any compensation from the Funds.

34

Trustee Qualifications — The Board has determined that each nominee is qualified to serve as a Trustee based on several factors (none of which alone is decisive). Each nominee is knowledgeable about the Funds’ business and service provider arrangements in part because he or she serves as trustee or director to a number of other investment companies advised by PIMCO and/or its affiliates with similar arrangements to that of the Funds or has had significant experience in the investment management and/or financial services industries. Among the factors the Board considers when concluding that an individual is qualified to serve on the Board were the following: (i) the individual’s business and professional experience and accomplishments; (ii) the individual’s ability to work effectively with other members of the Board; (iii) the individual’s prior experience, if any, serving on the boards of public companies (including, where

35

relevant, other investment companies) and other complex enterprises and organizations; and (iv) how the individual’s skills, experiences and attributes would contribute to an appropriate mix of relevant skills and experience on the Board.

In respect of each current Trustee and/or nominee, the individual’s substantial professional accomplishments and prior experience, including, in some cases, in fields related to the operations of the Funds, were a significant factor in the determination by the Board that the individual is qualified to serve as a Trustee of the Funds. The following is a summary of various qualifications, experiences and skills of each Trustee and/or nominee (in addition to business experience during the past five years set forth in the table above) that contributed to the Board’s conclusion that an individual is qualified to serve on the Board. References to qualifications, experiences and skills are not intended to hold out the Board or individual nominees as having any special expertise or experience and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.

Committees of the Board of Trustees.

Audit Oversight Committee. The Board of each Fund has established an Audit Oversight Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), currently consisting of Messrs. Kittredge and Rappaport and Mses. Cogan, DeCotis, McCartney and Vandecruze, each of whom is an Independent Trustee. Mr. Kittredge is the current Chair of each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee.

Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee provides oversight with respect to the internal and external accounting and auditing procedures of each Fund and, among other things, determines the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm for each Fund and considers the scope of the audit, approves all audit and permitted non-audit services proposed to be performed by those auditors on behalf of each Fund and approves non-audit services to be performed by the auditors for certain affiliates, including the Manager and entities in a control relationship with the Manager that provide services to each Fund where the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of each Fund. The Audit Oversight Committee considers the possible effect of those services on the independence of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm. Each member of each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee is “independent,” as independence for audit committee members is defined in the currently applicable listing standards of the NYSE, on which the Common Shares of each Fund are listed.

The Board of each Fund has adopted a written charter for its Audit Oversight Committee. A copy of the written charter for each Fund, as amended through January 1, 2022, is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A. A report of the Audit Oversight Committee, dated August 25, 2022, is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit C.

Governance and Nominating Committee. The Board of each Fund has established a Governance and Nominating Committee composed solely of Independent Trustees, currently consisting of Messrs. Kittredge and Rappaport and Mses. Cogan, DeCotis, McCartney and Vandecruze. Ms. DeCotis is the current Chair of each Fund’s Governance and Nominating Committee. The primary purposes and responsibilities of each Fund’s Governance and Nominating Committee are: (i) advising and making recommendations to the

38

Board on matters concerning Board governance and related Trustee practices, and (ii) the screening and nomination of candidates for election to the Board as Independent Trustees.

The responsibilities of each Fund’s Governance and Nominating Committee include considering and making recommendations to the Fund’s Board regarding: (1) governance, retirement and other policies, procedures and practices relating to the Board and the Trustees; (2) in consultation with the Chair of the Board, matters concerning the functions and duties of the Trustees and committees of the Board; (3) the size of the Board and, in consultation with the Chair of the Board, the Board’s committees and their composition; and (4) Board and committee meeting procedures. The Committee will also periodically review and recommend for approval by the Board the structure and levels of compensation and any related benefits to be paid or provided by a Fund to the Independent Trustees for their services on the Board and any committees on the Board.

The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending qualified candidates to the Board in the event that a position is vacated or created or when Trustees are to be re-elected. The Governance and Nominating Committee of each Fund has adopted a charter, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B.

Each member of each Fund’s Governance and Nominating Committee is “independent,” as independence for nominating committee members is defined in the currently applicable listing standards of the NYSE, on which the Common Shares of each Fund are listed.

Qualifications, Evaluation and Identification of Trustees/Nominees. The Governance and Nominating Committee of each Fund requires that Trustee candidates have a college degree or equivalent business experience. When evaluating candidates, each Fund’s Governance and Nominating Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors including, but not limited to: (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities on the Board, (ii) relevant industry and related experience, (iii) educational background, (iv) ability, judgment and expertise and (v) overall diversity of the Board’s composition.

The process of identifying nominees involves the consideration of candidates recommended by one or more of the following sources: (i) the Fund’s current Trustees, (ii) the Fund’s officers, (iii) the Fund’s investment adviser, (iv) the Fund’s shareholders and (v) any other source the Committee deems to be

39

appropriate. The Governance and Nominating Committee of each Fund may, but is not required to, retain a third-party search firm at a Fund’s expense to identify potential candidates.

Consideration of Candidates Recommended by Shareholders. The Governance and Nominating Committee of each Fund will review and consider nominees recommended by shareholders to serve as Trustees, provided that the recommending shareholder follows the “Procedures for Shareholders to Submit Nominee Candidates for the PIMCO Sponsored Closed-End Funds,” which are set forth as Appendix B to the Funds’ Governance and Nominating Committee Charter, attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B. Among other requirements, these procedures provide that the recommending shareholder must submit any recommendation in writing to the Fund, to the attention of the Fund’s Secretary, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Fund and that such submission must be received at such offices not less than 45 days nor more than 75 days prior to the date of the Board or shareholder meeting at which the nominee would be elected. Any recommendation must include certain biographical and other information regarding the candidate and the recommending shareholder and must include a written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a Trustee if elected. The foregoing description of the requirements is only a summary. Please refer to Appendix B to the Governance and Nominating Committee Charter for each Fund, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B for details.

The Governance and Nominating Committee has full discretion to reject nominees recommended by shareholders, and there is no assurance that any such person properly recommended and considered by the Committee will be nominated for election to the Board of each Fund.

Diversity. The Governance and Nominating Committee takes diversity of a particular nominee and overall diversity of the Board into account when considering and evaluating nominees for Trustee. The Board has adopted a diversity policy and, when considering a nominee’s and the Board’s diversity, the Committee generally considers the manner in which each nominee’s professional experience, education, expertise in matters that are relevant to the oversight of the Funds (e.g., investment management, distribution, accounting, trading, compliance, legal), general leadership experience and life experience are complementary and, as a whole, contribute to the ability of the Board to oversee the Funds.

Valuation Oversight Committee. The Board of each Fund has established a Valuation Oversight Committee currently consisting of Messrs. Kittredge and Rappaport and Mses. Cogan, DeCotis, McCartney and Vandecruze. Ms. Vandecruze is the current Chair of each Fund’s Valuation Oversight

40

Committee. The Valuation Oversight Committee has been delegated responsibility by the Board for overseeing determination of the fair value of each Fund’s portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Oversight Committee of each Fund reviews and approves procedures for the fair valuation of the Fund’s portfolio securities and periodically reviews reports and assessments provided by the Manager pursuant to the Funds’ valuation procedures and the Manager’s pricing policy. With respect to the fair valuation of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available, the Manager has been designated as “valuation designee” for each Fund in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund’s Valuation Oversight Committee reports to the Board periodically as to the Committee’s activities and oversight of the Manager’s administration of the Fund’s valuation procedures and the valuation designee’s carrying out of its responsibilities under Rule 2a-5.

Contracts Committee. The Board of each Fund has established a Contracts Committee currently consisting of Messrs. Kittredge and Rappaport and Mses. Cogan, DeCotis, McCartney and Vandecruze. Ms. Cogan is the current Chair of each Fund’s Contracts Committee. The Contracts Committee meets as the Board deems necessary to review the performance of, and the reasonableness of the fees paid to, as applicable, the Funds’ investment adviser(s) and any sub-adviser(s), administrators(s) and principal underwriters(s) and to make recommendations to the Board regarding the approval and continuance of each Fund’s contractual arrangements for investment advisory, sub-advisory, administrative and distribution services, as applicable. The Contracts Committee also may review and evaluate the terms of other contracts or amendments thereto with the Funds’ other major service providers at the Board’s request.

Performance Committee. The Board of each Fund has established a Performance Committee, currently consisting of Messrs. Kittredge, Rappaport and Fisher and Mses. Cantrill, Cogan, DeCotis, McCartney and Vandecruze. Mr. Rappaport is the current Chair of each Fund’s Performance Committee.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees of each Fund has adopted procedures by which Shareholders may send communications to the Board. Shareholders may mail written communications to the Board to the attention of the Board of Trustees, [name of Fund], c/o Fund Administration, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019. Shareholder communications must (i) be in writing and be signed by the Shareholder and (ii) identify the class and number of Shares held by the Shareholder. The Secretary of each Fund or her designee is responsible for reviewing properly submitted shareholder communications. The Secretary shall either (i) provide a copy of each properly submitted shareholder communication to the Board at its next regularly scheduled Board meeting or (ii) if the Secretary determines that the communication requires more immediate attention, forward the communication to the Trustees promptly after receipt. The Secretary may, in good faith, determine that a shareholder communication should not be provided to the Board

43

because it does not reasonably relate to a Fund or its operations, management, activities, policies, service providers, Board, officers, shareholders or other matters relating to an investment in a Fund or is otherwise routine or ministerial in nature. These procedures do not apply to (i) any communication from an officer or Trustee of a Fund or (ii) any communication from an employee or agent of a Fund, unless such communication is made solely in such employee’s or agent’s capacity as a shareholder, but they shall apply to any shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or any communication made in connection with such a proposal. A Fund’s Trustees are not required to attend the Fund’s annual shareholder meetings or to otherwise make themselves available to shareholders for communications, other than by the aforementioned procedures.

Section 16(a) Reports. Each Fund’s Trustees and certain officers, investment adviser, certain affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of outstanding securities of a Fund (i.e., a Fund’s Common Shares or Preferred Shares) are required to file forms reporting their affiliation with the Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Fund’s securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the NYSE. Based solely on a review of these forms filed electronically with the SEC and any written representation from reporting persons during the most recently concluded fiscal year, each Fund believes that each of the Trustees and officers, investment adviser and relevant affiliated persons of the investment adviser and the persons who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of outstanding securities of the Fund has complied with all applicable filing requirements during each Fund’s respective fiscal year.

Each of the Fund’s executive officers is an “interested person” of the Fund (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) as a result of his or her position(s) set forth in the table above.

Investment Manager. The Manager serves as the investment manager of the Funds. Subject to the supervision of the Board of each Fund, the Manager is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Funds and the Funds’ business affairs and other administrative matters. The Manager is located at 650 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660. The Manager is a majority-owned indirect subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Audit Oversight Committee of each Fund’s Board and the full Board of each Fund unanimously selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. PwC served as the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022⁶ and also serves as the independent registered public accounting firm of various other investment companies for which the Manager serves as investment adviser. PwC is located at 1100 Walnut Street, Suite 1300,

50

Kansas City, MO 64106-219. None of the Funds know of any direct financial or material indirect financial interest of PwC in the Funds. A representative of PwC, if requested by any Shareholder, will be present at the Meeting via telephone to respond to appropriate questions from Shareholders and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she chooses to do so.

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures. Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee has adopted written policies relating to the pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. Under the policies, on at least an annual basis, a Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee reviews and pre-approves proposed audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm on behalf of the Fund.

In addition, each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee pre-approves at least annually any permitted non-audit services (including audit-related services) to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Manager and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Manager that provides ongoing services to the Fund (together, the “Service Affiliates”), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Although the Audit Oversight Committee does not pre-approve all services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to Service Affiliates (for instance, if the engagement does not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund), the Committee receives an annual report from the independent registered public accounting firm showing the aggregate fees paid by Service Affiliates for such services.

Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee may also from time to time pre-approve individual non-audit services to be provided to the Fund or a Service Affiliate that were not pre-approved as part of the annual process described above. A member of the Audit Oversight Committee to whom this responsibility has been delegated (a “Designated Member”) may also pre-approve these individual non-audit services, provided that the fee for such services does not exceed a pre-determined dollar threshold. Any such pre-approval by the Designated Member is reported to the full Audit Oversight Committee for ratification at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

The pre-approval policies provide for waivers of the requirement that the Audit Oversight Committee pre-approve permitted non-audit services provided to the Funds or their Service Affiliates pursuant to de minimis exceptions described in Section 10A of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations (referred to herein as the “de minimis exception”).

Audit Fees. Audit Fees are fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in annual reports and registration statements, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. For each Fund’s last two fiscal years as reflected below, the Audit Fees billed by PwC to the Fund or to PIMCO with respect to the Fund are shown in the table below:

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-Related Fees are fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under “Audit Fees” above, and that include accounting consultations, attestation reports, comfort letters, and agreed-upon procedure reports (inclusive of annual review of basic maintenance testing associated with the Preferred Shares for the Funds), if applicable. The table below shows, for each Fund’s last two fiscal years as reflected below, the Audit-Related Fees billed by PwC to the Fund or to PIMCO with respect to the Fund. During those fiscal years, there were no Audit-Related Fees billed by PwC to the Funds’ Service Affiliates for audit-related services related directly to the operation and financial reporting of the Funds.

52

Tax Fees. Tax Fees are fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews, and tax distribution and analysis reviews. The table below shows, for each Fund’s last two fiscal years as reflected below, the aggregate Tax Fees billed by PwC to the Fund or to PIMCO with respect to the Fund. During those fiscal years, there were no Tax Fees billed by PwC to the Funds’ Service Affiliates for tax-related services related directly to the operation and financial reporting of the Funds.

All Other Fees. All Other Fees are fees related to services other than those reported above under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.” For each Fund’s last two fiscal years, no such fees were billed by PwC to the Fund or the Fund’s Service Affiliates.

During the periods indicated in the tables above, no services described under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” or “All Other Fees” were approved pursuant to the de minimis exception.

53

Aggregate Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC, during each Fund’s last two fiscal years as reflected below, for services rendered to each Fund and the Fund’s Service Affiliates are shown in the table below.

The table below shows a breakdown of the fees billed by PwC to each Fund, or to PIMCO with respect to each Fund, for the most recently completed fiscal year attributable the following categories: 1) Audit Fees, 2) Audit-Related Fees, 3) Tax Compliance/Preparation fees and 4) All Other Fees, as well as the percentage of the total fees billed attributable to the “All Other Fees” category.

Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee has determined that the provision by PwC of non-audit services to the Fund’s Service Affiliates that were not

54

pre-approved by the Committee was compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC as the Fund’s principal auditors.

Other Business. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, each Fund’s officers and the Manager know of no business to come before the Meeting other than as set forth in the Notice. If any other business is properly brought before the Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote in their sole discretion.

Quorum, Adjournments, Meeting Logistics and Methods of Tabulation. A quorum for each of PGP, PFL, PFN, PHK and PDI at the Meeting will consist of the presence in person or by proxy of thirty percent (30%) of the total Shares of the Fund entitled to vote at such Meeting, except that, where any Preferred Shares or Common Shares will vote as separate classes, then 30% of the shares of each class entitled to vote will be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by that class. A quorum for NRGX at the Meeting will consist of the presence in person or by proxy of thirty percent and one-third (33 1/3%) of the total Shares of the Fund entitled to vote at such Meeting. For RCS, the presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, of Shareholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. If the quorum required for a Proposal has not been met, the persons named as proxies may propose adjournment of the Meeting with respect to such Proposal and, if adjournment is proposed, will vote all Shares that they are entitled to vote in favor of such adjournment. Any adjournments with respect to the Proposal for a Fund will require, with respect to NRGX, PGP, PFL, PFN, PHK and PDI, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast upon the question for the relevant Fund, and, with respect to RCS, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares of RCS entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned. However, where any Preferred Shares or Common Shares will vote as separate classes, the affirmative vote of a plurality of shares of the applicable class present in person or by proxy at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned will be necessary to adjourn the Meeting with respect to that class. The costs of any additional solicitation and of any adjourned session will be borne by PIMCO under its investment management agreement with the Funds. Any proposal properly brought before the Meeting for which sufficient favorable votes have been received by the time of the Meeting will be acted upon and such action will be final regardless of whether the Meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal with respect to which a quorum has not been reached. In certain circumstances in which a Fund has received sufficient votes to approve a matter being recommended for approval by the Fund’s Board, the Fund may request that brokers and nominee entities, in their discretion, withhold or withdraw submission of broker non-votes in order to avoid the need for solicitation of additional votes in favor of the proposal.

55

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed by NRGX, PGP, PFL, PFN, PHK and PDI as tellers and by RCS as inspectors (collectively, the “Tellers/Inspectors”) for the Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for each Fund, the Tellers/Inspectors will include the total number of Shares present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, including Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter). For a proposal requiring approval of a plurality of votes cast, such as the election of Trustees, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted towards the achievement of a plurality of votes cast for a nominee and will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. In the case of a contested election, abstentions and non-votes may require a nominee to receive a higher percentage of the votes cast in order to achieve a plurality of the votes cast but will not be counted as votes against such nominee’s election.

PIMCO is sensitive to the health and travel concerns of the Funds’ shareholders and the evolving recommendations from public health officials. Due to the difficulties arising from the coronavirus known as COVID-19, the date, time, location or means of conducting the Meeting may change. In the event of such a change, the Funds will issue a press release announcing the change and file the announcement on the SEC’s EDGAR system, among other steps, but may not deliver additional soliciting materials to shareholders or otherwise amend the Funds’ proxy materials. The Funds may consider imposing additional procedures or limitations on Meeting attendees or conducting the Meeting as a “virtual” shareholder meeting through the internet or other electronic means in lieu of an in-person meeting, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law. If the Meeting will be held virtually in whole or in part, a Fund will notify its shareholders of such plans in a timely manner and disclose clear directions as to the logistical details of the “virtual” meeting, including how shareholders can remotely access, participate in and vote at such meeting. The Funds plan to announce these changes, if any, at pimco.com/closedendfunds, and encourage you to check this website prior to the Meeting if you plan to attend. Please note that any shareholder wishing to attend the Meeting in-person is required to comply with any health regulations adopted by federal, state and local governments and PIMCO.

Reports to Shareholders. Below is the date on or about which the Annual Reports to Shareholders for the most recently completed fiscal year of each Fund was mailed:

Additional copies of the Funds’ Annual Reports and Semi-Annual Reports may be obtained without charge from the Funds by calling 1-(844)-337-4626, by visiting the Funds’ website at pimco.com/closedendfunds or by writing to the Funds at 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019.

Shareholder Proposals for the Annual Meeting held during the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year. It is currently anticipated that each Fund’s next annual meeting of Shareholders after the Meeting addressed in this Proxy Statement will be held in June 2024. Proposals of Shareholders intended to be presented at that annual meeting of each Fund must be received by each Fund no later than January 20, 2024 for inclusion in each Fund’s proxy statement and proxy cards relating to that meeting. The submission by a Shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in the proxy materials does not guarantee that it will be included. Shareholder proposals are subject to certain requirements under the federal securities laws and must be submitted in accordance with the applicable Fund’s Bylaws. Shareholders submitting any other proposals (including proposals to elect Trustee nominees) for each Fund intended to be presented at the annual meeting held during the 2023-2024 fiscal year (i.e., other than those to be included in the Fund’s proxy materials) must ensure that such proposals are received by each Fund, in good order and complying with all applicable legal requirements and requirements set forth in each Fund’s Bylaws. Each Fund’s Bylaws provide that any such proposal must be received in writing by each Fund not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days prior to the first anniversary date of the date on which each Fund first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year’s shareholder meeting; provided that, if, in accordance with applicable law, the upcoming shareholder meeting is set for a date that is not within 30 days from the anniversary of each Fund’s prior shareholder meeting, such proposal must be received by the later of the close of business on (i) the date 45 days prior to such upcoming shareholder meeting date or (ii) the 10^th business day following the date such upcoming shareholder meeting date is first publicly announced or disclosed. Assuming the next annual meeting is ultimately scheduled to be within 30 days of the June 29 anniversary of this year’s meeting, such proposals must be received no earlier than March 20, 2024 and no later than April 4, 2024 for each Fund. If a Shareholder who wishes to present a proposal fails to notify the Fund

57

within these dates described above, the proxies solicited for the meeting will be voted on the Shareholder’s proposal, if it is properly brought before the meeting, in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the enclosed proxy card(s). If a Shareholder makes a timely notification, the proxies may still exercise discretionary voting authority under circumstances consistent with the SEC’s proxy rules. Shareholder proposals should be addressed to the attention of the Secretary of the applicable Fund, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Fund, with a copy to David C. Sullivan, Ropes & Gray LLP, Prudential Tower, 800 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02199-3600.

PLEASE EXECUTE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARDS PROMPTLY TO ENSURE THAT A QUORUM IS PRESENT AT THE APPLICABLE ANNUAL MEETING. A SELF-ADDRESSED, POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE IS ENCLOSED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE.

Exhibit A to Proxy Statement

PIMCO Sponsored Closed-End Funds

Audit Oversight Committee Charter

(Adopted as of January 14, 2004,

as amended through January 1, 2022)

The Board of Trustees (each a “Board”) of each of the registered investment companies listed in Appendix A hereto (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), as the same may be periodically updated, has adopted this Charter to govern the activities of the Audit Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) of the particular Board with respect to its oversight of the Fund. This Charter applies separately to each Fund and its particular Board and Committee, and shall be interpreted accordingly. This Charter supersedes and replaces any audit committee charter previously adopted by the Board or a committee of the Board.

Statement of Purpose and Functions

The Committee’s general purpose is to oversee the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls, including by assisting with the Board’s oversight of the integrity of the Fund’s financial statements, the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relevant to financial reporting matters, the qualifications and independence of the Fund’s independent auditors, and the performance of the Fund’s internal control systems and independent auditors. The Committee’s purpose is also to prepare reports required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules to be included in the Fund’s annual proxy statements, if any.

The Committee’s function is oversight. While the Committee has the responsibilities set forth in this Charter, it is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct audits, to prepare or determine that the Fund’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or to assure compliance with laws, regulations or any internal rules or policies of the Fund. Fund management is responsible for Fund accounting and the implementation and maintenance of the Fund’s internal control systems, and the independent auditors are responsible for conducting a proper audit of the Fund’s financial statements. Members of the Committee are not employees of the Funds and, in serving on this Committee, are not, and do not hold themselves out to be, acting as accountants or auditors. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures.

A-1

Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the integrity of those persons and organizations within management and outside the Fund from which the Committee receives information and (ii) the accuracy of financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons or organizations absent actual knowledge to the contrary.

Membership

The Committee shall be comprised of as many trustees as the Board shall determine, but in any event not less than three (3) Trustees. Each member of the Committee must be a member of the Board. The Board may remove or replace any member of the Committee at any time in its sole discretion.

Each member of the Committee may not be an “interested person” of the Fund, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and must otherwise satisfy the standards for independence of an audit committee member of an investment company issuer as set forth in Rule 10A-3(b) (taking into account any exceptions to those requirements set forth in such rule) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and under applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). Each member of the Committee must be “financially literate” (or must become so within a reasonable time after his or her appointment to the Committee) and at least one member of the Committee must have “accounting or related financial management expertise,” in each case as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment under NYSE listing standards.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, at least one member of the Committee shall be determined by the Board to be an “audit committee financial expert” (as defined for purposes of Form N-CSR).    

One or more members of the Committee may be designated by the Board as the Committee’s chair or vice chair, as the case may be, and shall serve for such term or terms as the Board may determine. The Committee Chair shall: (1) schedule meetings to take place at such times and frequency as he or she deems appropriate; (2) provide input to management regarding its establishment of an agenda for each Committee meeting, with assistance from other Committee members as the Chair deems appropriate; (3) serve as chair of each Committee meeting; (4) serve as the primary Committee member who shall interface with management regarding Committee-related matters; and (5) perform such other duties as the Board or the Committee deems appropriate. The Chair can delegate to one or more other Committee members one or more of such duties as he or she deems appropriate.    

A-2

Responsibilities and Duties

The Committee’s policies and procedures shall remain flexible to facilitate the Committee’s ability to react to changing conditions and to generally discharge its functions. The following describe areas of attention in broad terms. The Committee shall:

1. Determine the selection, retention or termination of the Fund’s independent auditors based on an evaluation of their independence and the nature and performance of the audit and any permitted non-audit services. Decisions by the Committee concerning the selection, retention or termination of the independent auditors shall be submitted to the Board for ratification in accordance with the requirements of Section 32(a) of the Investment Company Act. The Fund’s independent auditors must report directly to the Committee, which shall be responsible for resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditors relating to financial reporting.

2. To consider the independence of the Fund’s independent auditors at least annually, and in connection therewith receive on a periodic basis formal written disclosures and letters from the independent auditors as required by the applicable rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”).

3. To the extent required by applicable regulations, pre-approve (i) all audit and permitted non-audit services rendered by the independent auditors to the Fund and (ii) all non-audit services rendered by the independent auditors to the Fund’s investment advisers (including sub-advisers) and to certain of the investment advisers’ affiliates.

The Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.

4. Review and approve the fees charged by the independent auditors to the Fund, the investment advisers and certain affiliates of the investment advisers for audit, audit- related and permitted non-audit services.

5. If and to the extent that the Fund intends to have employees, set clear policies for the hiring by the Fund of employees or former employees of the Fund’s independent auditors.

6. Obtain and review at least annually a report from the independent auditors describing (i) the accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised (a) by the accounting firm’s most recent internal quality-control review or peer review or (b) by any governmental or

A-3

other professional inquiry or investigation performed within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken to address any such issues.

7. Review with the Fund’s independent auditors arrangements for and the scope of the annual audit and any special audits, including the form of any opinion proposed to be rendered to the Board and shareholders of the Fund.

8. Meet with management and the independent auditors to review and discuss the Fund’s annual audited financial statements, including a review of any specific disclosures of management’s discussion of the Fund’s investment performance; and, with respect to the Fund’s audited financial statements, discuss with the independent auditors matters required by the applicable rules of the PCAOB and any other matters required to be reported to the Committee under applicable law; and provide a statement whether, based on its review of the Fund’s audited financial statements, the Committee recommends to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s Annual Report.

Meet with management to review and discuss the Fund’s unaudited financial statements included in the semi-annual report, including, if any, a review of any specific disclosure of management’s discussion of the Fund’s investment performance.

9. Discuss with management and the independent auditors the Fund’s unaudited financial statements.

10. Review with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties encountered in the course of their audit work and management’s responses thereto.

11. Review with management and, as applicable, with the independent auditors the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies, practices and internal controls, management’s guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including the effect on the Fund of any recommendation of changes in accounting principles or practices by management or the independent auditors.

12. Discuss with management any press releases discussing the Fund’s investment performance and other financial information about the Fund, as well as any financial information provided by management to analysts or rating agencies. The Committee may discharge this responsibility by discussing the general types of information to be disclosed by the Fund and the form of presentation (i.e., a case-by-case review is not required) and need not discuss in advance each such release of information.

A-4

13. Establish procedures for (i) the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by the Fund regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters; and (ii) the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Fund, the Fund’s investment advisers, administrator, principal underwriter (if any) or any other provider of accounting-related services for the investment advisers of concerns regarding accounting or auditing matters.

14. Investigate or initiate the investigation of any fraud, improprieties or suspected improprieties in the Fund’s accounting operations or financial reporting.

15. Review with counsel legal and regulatory matters that have a material impact on the Fund’s financial and accounting reporting policies and practices or its internal controls.

16. Report to the Board on a regular basis (at least annually) on the Committee’s activities.

17. Perform such other functions consistent with this Charter, the Agreement and Declaration of Trust, Articles of Incorporation and/or Bylaws applicable to the Fund, and applicable law or regulation, as the Committee or the Board deems necessary or appropriate.

The Committee may delegate any portion of its authority and responsibilities as set forth in this Charter to a subcommittee of one or more members of the Committee.

Scope of Responsibility

This Charter shall not be read to impose on the Committee or any member thereof any responsibility to take any action or supervise any activity of the Funds not otherwise specifically imposed by this Charter or applicable law on the Committee (acting as a body) or any member of the Committee (acting individually). The Committee and members thereof shall be held to the same standard of care, as applicable, generally applied to the Board or a Trustee under applicable law, and service on the Committee shall not cause any member thereof to be held to a standard of care different from that applicable to his or her service on the Board generally. The designation of a Committee member as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties or responsibilities that are greater than the duties and responsibilities imposed on such person as a member of the Committee and the Board. The designation of an audit committee financial expert also does not affect the duties or responsibilities of any other member of the Committee or the Board.

A-5

Meetings

At least annually, the Committee shall meet separately with the independent auditors and separately with the representatives of Fund management responsible for the financial and accounting operations of the Fund. The Committee shall hold other regular or special meetings as and when it deems necessary or appropriate.

Outside Resources and Assistance from Management

The appropriate officers of the Fund shall provide or arrange to provide such information, data and services as the Committee may request. The Committee shall have the authority to engage at the Fund’s expense independent counsel and other experts and consultants whose expertise the Committee considers necessary to carry out its responsibilities. The Fund shall provide for, or arrange for the provision of, appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for the payment of: (i) compensation of the Fund’s independent auditors for the issuance of an audit report relating to the Fund’s financial statements or the performance of other audit, review or attest services for the Fund; (ii) compensation of independent legal counsel or other advisers retained by the Committee; and (iii) ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in fulfilling its purposes or carrying out its responsibilities under this Charter.

Annual Evaluations

The Committee shall review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter at least annually and recommend any changes to the Board. In addition, the performance of the Committee shall be reviewed at least annually.

Adoption and Amendments

The Board shall adopt and approve this Charter and may amend the Charter at any time on the Board’s own motion.

Exhibit B to Proxy Statement

Governance and Nominating Committee Charter

PIMCO Managed Accounts Trust and

PIMCO Sponsored Closed-End Funds

PIMCO Sponsored Interval Funds

The Boards of Directors/Trustees (the “Boards”) of each Trust and respective series thereof (each Trust or series, a “Fund”) have adopted this Charter to govern the activities of the Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) of each Board.

Statement of Purpose and Responsibility

The primary purpose and responsibility of each Committee are (i) advising and making recommendations to the Board on matters concerning Board governance and related Trustee practices, and (ii) the screening and nomination of candidates for election to the Board as Independent Directors/Trustees, as defined below.

Organization

1. Each Committee shall be comprised of as many Directors/Trustees as the Board shall determine, but in any event not fewer than two (2) Directors/Trustees. Each Committee must consist entirely of Board members who are not “interested persons” of the relevant Funds (“Independent Trustees”), as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each Board may remove or replace any member of the Committee at any time in its sole discretion.

2. One or more members of a Committee may be designated by the Board as the Committee’s chair or vice chair, as the case may be, and shall serve for such term or terms as the Board may determine. The Committee Chair shall: (1) schedule meetings to take place at such times and frequency as he or she deems appropriate; (2) provide input to management regarding its establishment of an agenda for each Committee meeting, with assistance from other Committee members as the Chair deems appropriate; (3) serve as chair of each Committee meeting; (4) serve as the primary Committee member who shall interface with management regarding Committee-related matters; and (5) perform such other duties as the Board or the Committee deems appropriate. The Chair can delegate to one or more other Committee members one or more of such duties as he or she deems appropriate.

B-1

3. The Committee will have at least one regularly scheduled meeting per year to consider the compensation of Independent Trustees and other matters the Committee deems appropriate. Additional Committee meetings shall be held as and when the Committee or the Board determines necessary or appropriate in accordance with each Fund’s Bylaws.

Duties and Responsibilities for Governance Matters

1. Overview of Responsibilities. The responsibilities of the Committee of each Fund include considering and making recommendations to the Board regarding: (1) governance, retirement and other policies, procedures and practices relating to the Board and the Trustees; (2) in consultation with the Chair of the Trustees, matters concerning the functions and duties of the Trustees and committees of the Board; (3) the size of the Board and, in consultation with the Chair of the Trustees, the Board’s committees and their composition; and (4) Board and committee meeting procedures, including the appropriateness and adequacy of the information supplied to the Trustees in connection with such meetings.

2. Trustee Compensation. The Committee will periodically review and recommend for approval by the Board the structure and levels of compensation and any related benefits to be paid or provided by each Fund to the Independent Trustees for their services on the Board and any committees of the Board.

3. Board Governance Policies. The Committee shall review the Board Governance Policies designed to enhance the independence and effectiveness of the Independent Trustees in serving the interests of the Funds and their shareholders. The Committee shall review these Policies no less than every two years and shall recommend any changes to the Board for its approval.

4. The Committee shall discharge any other duties or responsibilities delegated to the Committee by the Board from time to time.

Trustee Nominations

1. Qualifications for Director/Trustee Nominees. A Director/Trustee candidate must have a college degree or equivalent business experience. The Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering Director/Trustee candidates, including (but not limited to): (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities on the Board, (ii) relevant industry and related experience, (iii) educational background, (iv) ability, judgment and expertise and (v) overall diversity of the Board’s composition. The Committee shall consider the effect of any relationships delineated in the 1940 Act or other types of relationships, (e.g.,

B-2

business, financial or family relationships) with the investment adviser(s) or other principal service providers, which might impair independence.

2. Identification of Nominees. In identifying potential nominees for a Board, the Committee may consider candidates recommended by the following sources: (i) the Fund’s current Directors/Trustees; (ii) the Fund’s officers; (iii) the Fund’s investment adviser or sub- advisers; (iv) shareholders of the Fund (see below); and (v) any other source the Committee deems to be appropriate. The Committee may, but is not required to, retain a third party search firm at the Fund’s expense to identify potential candidates. With respect to annual nominations for the Closed-End Funds, absent circumstances warranting different action, the Board expects that such nominations will be made in a manner designed to maintain common Board membership with the other Funds.

3. Consideration of Candidates Recommended By Shareholders. The Committee will consider and evaluate nominee candidates properly submitted by shareholders on the same basis as it considers and evaluates candidates recommended by other sources. Appendix A (for PIMCO Managed Accounts Trust and PIMCO Sponsored Interval Funds) and Appendix B (for the PIMCO Sponsored Closed-End Funds) to this Charter, as they may be amended from time to time by a Committee, set forth procedures that must be followed by shareholders to submit properly a nominee candidate to the Committee (recommendations not properly submitted in accordance with Appendix A or Appendix B (as applicable) will not be considered by the Committee).

4. Recommendation of Candidates to the Board. The Committee will recommend to the Board the Directors/Trustees candidates that it deems qualified to serve as Independent Trustees on the Board. To the extent practicable, the Committee will rank such potential nominees for the Board in order of preference. The Committee may also consider and recommend to the Board Trustee candidates who would not qualify as Independent Trustees.

Operating Guidelines

1. The appropriate officers of the Fund shall provide or arrange to provide such information, data and services as the Committee may request. The Committee shall have the resources and authority necessary or appropriate for purposes of discharging its responsibilities under this Charter, including the authority to engage such legal counsel and other experts and consultants at the Fund’s expense as the Committee, in its discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its responsibilities.

2. Absent actual knowledge to the contrary, each Committee member is entitled to rely upon (1) the integrity and competence of those persons and

B-3

organizations that render services to the Trust and from whom the Committee receives information or reports and (2) the accuracy and completeness (both at the time of presentation and on a continuing basis, as appropriate) of the information and reports provided to the Committee by such persons or organizations. Nothing in this Charter is intended to impose, or should be interpreted as imposing, on any member of the Committee any additional duties or responsibilities over and above those placed on the member in his or her capacity as a Trustee of a Fund, under federal and state law.

Dated August 25, 2022

The Audit Oversight Committees (collectively, the “Committee”) oversee the Funds’ financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Trustees/Directors of each Fund (collectively, the “Board”) and operate under a written Charter adopted by the Board. The Committee meets with each Fund’s management (“Management”) and independent registered public accounting firm and reports the results of its activities to the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. In connection with the Committee’s and independent accountant’s responsibilities, Management has advised that the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 were prepared in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles.

The Committee has reviewed and discussed with Management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm, the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The Committee has discussed with PwC the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standard No. 61 (SAS 61). SAS 61 requires the independent registered public accounting firm to communicate to the Committee matters including, if applicable: 1) methods used to account for significant unusual transactions; 2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus; 3) the process used by Management in formulating

particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the auditor’s conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and 4) disagreements with Management over the application of accounting principles and certain other matters.

With respect to each Fund, the Committee has received the written disclosure and the letter from PwC required by Rule 3526 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (requiring registered public accounting firms to make written disclosure to and discuss with the Committee various matters relating to the auditor’s independence), and has discussed with PwC their independence. The Committee has also reviewed the aggregate fees billed by PwC for professional services rendered to each Fund and, to the extent applicable with respect to each Fund’s reporting period, for non-audit services provided to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”), the Funds’ investment manager, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with PIMCO that provided services to a Fund during its reporting period. As part of this review, the Committee considered, in addition to other practices and requirements relating to selection of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm, whether the provision of such non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC.

Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Committee presents this Report to the Board and recommends that (1) the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 be included in the Funds’ Annual Report to shareholders for such fiscal year, (2) such Annual Report be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, if applicable, the New York Stock Exchange and (3) PwC be reappointed as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
