^As of 09/30/2026. The inception date for each closed-end fund follows: RMI (10/25/2018), RMM (7/25/2019), RFM

Each Fund maintains a level distribution policy with the intention of providing monthly distributions to shareholders at a constant and fixed (but not guaranteed) rate that is reset annually. Although there can be no guarantee that the distribution policy will be successful in its goals, shareholders may potentially benefit from both increased liquidity and flexibility in managing their Fund investments. Each Fund's ability to maintain a stable level of distributions to shareholders will depend on a number of factors, including changes in the financial market, market interest rates, and performance of overall equity and fixed income markets. As portfolio and market conditions change, the ability of each Fund to continue to make distributions in accordance with the level distribution policy may be affected.

Holders of each Fund's common stock will receive the distribution under one of two options:

1. Receive additional full and fractional shares of the respective Fund's common stock through its dividend reinvestment plan

or,

2. Elect to receive cash for the distribution.

Shareholders may consider the dividend reinvestment plan as a convenient way to add to their Fund holdings along with other potential benefits. For example, if a Fund is trading at a discount to NAV, the investor generally receives shares acquired on the secondary market at/near that discount to NAV. In the case where a Fund is trading at a premium to NAV, the investor will typically receive newly issued shares by the Fund at NAV.

For further information, shareholders should carefully read the description of the dividend reinvestment plan in each Fund's prospectus and/or annual report. Contact your broker-dealer to confirm your distribution election.

With each distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income, the respective Fund will issue a notice to shareholders and an accompanying press release that will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other related information. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in the notice to shareholders are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. This information is posted to the Closed-End Funds section of www.rivernorth.com. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each Fund's investment experience during its full fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell them how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Each Fund may at times distribute more than its net investment income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may result in a return of capital. A return of capital occurs when some or all of the money that shareholders invested in a Fund is paid back to them. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income.' Any such returns of capital will decrease a Fund's total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing a Fund's expense ratio. In addition, in order to make the level of distributions called for under its plan, a Fund may have to sell its portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.
