COLUMBIA, Maryland, June 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The Mexico Fund, Inc. (NYSE: MXF), announced
that the Board of Directors (Board) declared a distribution of
$0.22 per share to stockholders of
record on July 17, 2024, which is
payable in cash on July 25, 2024.
The Board has approved the continuation of the Fund's MDP during
2024. The Board may amend or terminate the MDP at any time without
prior notice to stockholders. Since the implementation of the MDP
in September 2008, the Fund has paid
a total of $26.60 per share in cash
distributions to stockholders.
The amount of distributable income for each fiscal period
depends on the aggregate gains and losses realized by the Fund
during the entire year. Distributions may consist of net investment
income, capital gains and return of capital, but the character of
these distributions cannot be determined until after the end of the
Fund's fiscal year. However, under the Investment Company Act of
1940, the Fund is required to indicate the source of each
distribution to stockholders. The following table sets forth (A) an
estimate of the source of the July
2024 distribution and (B) an estimate of the source of
distributions for the current fiscal year:
