Clough Global Equity Fund Announces September Distribution

DENVER, September 30, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- The Clough Global Equity Fund, a closed-end fund, announced a monthly distribution on its common stock of $0.0729 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 17, 2026. The distribution was paid on September 30, 2026. This notice is in accordance with Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the related rules adopted thereunder.

The notice provides an estimated breakdown of the sources of the distribution, which is crucial for investors to understand their tax obligations. The Fund estimates that the total distribution amount per share is allocated as follows: 40% to current and prior fiscal year net investment income, 30% to net realized short-term capital gain, 20% to net realized long-term capital gain, and 10% to return of capital or other capital source as a percentage of the total distribution amount. These percentages are disclosed for the current distribution as well as the fiscal year-to-date cumulative distribution amount per share for the Fund.

The notice also includes information on the Fund's performance and distribution information. The Fund's past performance is not indicative of future results. The cumulative distribution rate is based on distributions paid to date for the period November 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The cumulative fiscal year-to-date return is based on the change in the Fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions for the same period. The 5-year annualized total return is based on the change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions and that all rights in the Fund's rights offering were exercised, as of the last business day of the month prior to the month of the current distribution record date.

The notice also includes a table detailing the estimated amount of the sources of the distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the related rules adopted thereunder. The Fund estimates the following percentages of the total distribution amount per share attributable to (i) current and prior fiscal year net investment income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gain, (iii) net realized long-term capital gain, and (iv) return of capital or other capital source.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Section 19(a) Notice are only estimates and not for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized 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.'

Furthermore, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund's distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund's net asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund's distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.
