COLUMBIA,
Md., March 8, 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
April 17, 2024, which is payable in
cash on April 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 $26.38 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 April
2024 distribution and (B) an estimate of the source of
distributions for the current fiscal year:
