AVK Advent Convertible and Income Fund

The board of trustees (the “Board”) of Advent Convertible and Income Fund (NYSE: AVK) (the “Fund”) has approved the terms of the issuance of transferable rights (“Rights”) to the holders of the Fund’s common shares (the “Common Shareholders”) of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Shares”), as of the record date, entitling the holders of those Rights to subscribe for Common Shares (the “Offer”). The Board, based on the recommendations and presentations of the Fund’s investment adviser, Advent Capital Management, LLC (“Advent” or the “Adviser”), and others, has determined that it is in the best interests of the Fund and the Common Shareholders to conduct the Offer and thereby to increase the assets of the Fund available for investment. In making this determination, the Board considered a number of factors, including potential benefits and costs. In particular, the Board considered the Adviser’s belief that the Offer would enable the Fund to take advantage of existing and future investment opportunities for convertible securities and non-convertible income producing securities that may be or may become available, consistent with the Fund’s investment objective of providing total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. The Offer also seeks to provide an opportunity to existing Common Shareholders to purchase Common Shares at a discount to market price (subject to a sales load).

The record date for the Offer is currently expected to be September 20, 2024 (the “Record Date”). The Fund will distribute to Common Shareholders on the Record Date (“Record Date Common Shareholders”) one Right for each Common Share held on the Record Date. Common Shareholders will be entitled to purchase one new Common Share for every three Rights held (1 for 3); however, any Record Date Common Shareholder who owns fewer than three Common Shares as of the Record Date will be entitled to subscribe for one Common Share. Fractional Common Shares will not be issued.

The proposed subscription period will commence on the Record Date and is currently anticipated to expire on October 17, 2024, unless extended by the Fund (the “Expiration Date”). Rights may be exercised at any time during the subscription period. The Rights are transferable and are expected to be admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange LLC (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “AVK RT” during the course of the Offer.

The subscription price per Common Share (the “Subscription Price”) will be determined on the Expiration Date, and will be equal to 92.5% of the average of the last reported sales price of a Common Share of the Fund on the NYSE on the Expiration Date and each of the four (4) immediately preceding trading days (the “Formula Price”). If, however, the Formula Price is less than 90% of the Fund’s net asset value per Common Share at the close of trading on the NYSE on the Expiration Date, the Subscription Price will be 90% of the Fund’s net asset value per Common Share at the close of trading on the NYSE on that day. The estimated Subscription Price has not yet been determined by the Fund.

Record Date Common Shareholders who exercise all of their primary subscription Rights will be eligible for an over-subscription privilege entitling Record Date Common Shareholders to subscribe, subject to certain limitations and allotment, for any additional Common Shares not purchased pursuant to the primary subscription.

The Fund has previously declared a regular September monthly distribution to Common Shareholders payable on September 30, 2024 with a record date of September 13, 2024, which will not be payable with respect to Common Shares issued pursuant to the Offer.

The Offer will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. The Fund expects to mail subscription certificates evidencing the Rights and a copy of the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus for the Offer to Record Date Common Shareholders within the United States shortly following the Record Date. To exercise their Rights, Common Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, custodian or trust company should contact such entity to forward their instructions to either exercise or sell their Rights on their behalf. Common Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares through a broker, custodian, or trust company should forward their instructions to either exercise or sell their Rights by completing the subscription certificate and delivering it to the subscription agent for the Offer, together with their payment, at one of the locations indicated on the subscription certificate or in the prospectus supplement.

The Fund will pay expenses associated with the Offer which will be borne indirectly by the Fund’s Common Shareholders.

The Fund reserves the right to modify, postpone or cancel the rights offering.
