Virtus Total Return Fund Inc. Announces Distributions
HARTFORD, Conn., June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Virtus Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: ZTR) today announced the following monthly distributions: Amount of Distribution Ex-Date/Record Date Payable Date $0.05 July 11, 2025 July 30, 2025 $0.05 August 11, 2025 August 28, 2025 Under the terms of its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund will seek to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid, in part or in full, from net investment income and realized capital gains, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if the Fund's aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level, the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets and will constitute a return of the shareholder's capital. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Managed Distribution Plan. The Fund previously announced its May 2025 distribution and provided this estimate of the sources of the distributions: Distribution Estimates May 2025 (MTD) Fiscal Year-to-Date (YTD) (1) (Sources) Per Share Amount Percentage of Current Distribution Per Share Amount Percentage of Current Distribution Net Investment Income $ 0.000 0.0% $ 0.015 5.0% Net Realized Short-Term Capital Gains 0.000 0.0% 0.025 8.4% Net Realized Long-Term Capital Gains 0.018 36.6% 0.093 31.1% Return of Capital (or other Capital Source) 0.032 63.4% 0.167 55.5% Total Distribution $ 0.050 100.0% $ 0.300 100.0% (1) Fiscal year started December 1, 2024. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income'. Information regarding the Fund's performance and distribution rates is set forth below. Please note that all performance figures are based on the Fund's net asset value (NAV) and not the market price of the Fund's shares. Performance figures are not meant to represent individual shareholder performance.

It reflects the change in the Fund's NAV and reinvestment of all distributions. (3) Annualized Current Distribution Rate is the current distribution rate annualized as a percentage of the Fund's NAV at month end. (4) Fiscal YTD Cumulative Total Return on NAV is the percentage change in the Fund's NAV from the first day of the fiscal year to this month end, including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of those distributions.
