Reported Earlier, The Swiss Helvetia Fund Declared $3.00 Per Share Special Distribution Following Strategic Shift And Portfolio Liquidation, Payable April 7

The Fund today announced a special cash distribution of $3.00 per share of the Fund's common stock to be paid on April 7, 2025 to record holders as of April 3, 2025.

Since the cash distribution exceeds 25% of the Fund's current share price, the NYSE will apply "due bill" procedures, whereby the Fund's shares will trade with a $3.00 per share due bill (equal to the amount of the cash distribution) if such trades settle on any date from April 4, 2025 until April 7, 2025 (the "due bill period").  This means that a purchaser of shares of the Fund during the due bill period will be entitled to receive a due bill payment of $3.00 per share from the seller and a seller of the Fund's shares during the due bill period will be obligated to pay $3.00 per share to the buyer.  The ex-dividend date for trades made during the due bill period will be April 8, 2025, the first business day following the payment date of April 7, 2025.
