PIMCO CORPORATE & INCOME OPPORTUNITY FUND

# PIMCO Corporate & Income Opportunity Fund

PTY is a closed-end fixed income fund launched and managed by Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC in partnership with Pacific Investment Management Company LLC. The fund operates as a vehicle for global fixed income investment, targeting corporate debt obligations in the lower investment-grade spectrum, specifically securities rated Baa or BBB, as well as higher-yielding non-investment-grade securities rated Ba or BB. The fund's investment strategy emphasizes intermediate maturity bonds across multiple industries and sectors, employing fundamental analysis combined with top-down portfolio construction techniques.

The fund's primary revenue stream derives from management fees charged on assets under management. Investment decisions are informed by in-house research capabilities maintained by PIMCO's investment team. PTY was established on December 27, 2002 and is domiciled in the United States, with headquarters in Newport Beach, California. The fund maintains a market capitalization of approximately $2.5 billion and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

As a closed-end investment fund rather than an operating company, PTY does not maintain traditional employee counts or revenue structures comparable to operating businesses. The fund's scale is measured primarily through assets under management, and its geographic reach extends across global fixed income markets through its investment mandate and portfolio construction activities.
