Invesco Advisers, Inc., a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. (NYSE: IVZ), announced today that, effective immediately, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of each of Invesco High Income Trust II (NYSE: VLT) and Invesco Senior Income Trust (NYSE: VVR) (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) terminated the Managed Distribution Plan for each Fund (individually, the “VLT Plan” and “VVR Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”).
Pursuant to the VLT Plan, VLT paid a stated fixed monthly distribution amount based on a distribution rate of 8.5% of the closing market price per share as of August 1, 2018, the date the VLT Plan became effective. Pursuant to the VVR Plan, VVR paid a monthly distribution amount of $0.0380 per share.
The Plans were intended to provide shareholders with a consistent, but not guaranteed, periodic cash payment from each Fund, regardless of when or whether income was earned, or capital gains were realized. Under the Plans, each Fund distributed long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders to maintain its monthly distribution level if sufficient investment income was not available.
