Foxby Corp. Declares Dividend

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 20, 2016 / A dividend distribution of $0.01 per share was declared today by Foxby Corp. (OTC PINK: FXBY), payable December 30, 2016 to shareholders of record as of December 30, 2016.

This notice discloses information on the sources of the distribution as required by Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As of the date of this press release and based on the Fund’s results and estimates for the current quarter, the current distribution of $0.01 per share would include approximately 67%, 0%, and 33% from net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital, respectively. If, for any distribution, the sum of previously undistributed net investment income and net realized capital gains is less than the amount of the distribution, the difference is treated as a return of capital (tax-free for a shareholder up to the amount of its tax basis in its shares of the Fund). The amount treated as a tax-free return of capital will reduce a shareholder’s adjusted basis in its shares, thereby increasing the shareholder’s potential gain or reducing its potential loss on the subsequent sale of those shares.

The Fund’s distributions are not tied to its investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, and do not represent yield or investment return.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this press release are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the entirety of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. In early 2017, the Fund intends to send a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year concerning the tax treatment of the dividend distributions that were paid to shareholders of record during the 12 months ended December 31, 2016.
