AllianzGI Closed-End Funds Provide Additional Information on Fund Name Changes

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AllianzGI Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund (NYSE: AIO), AllianzGI Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund (NYSE: CBH), AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund (NYSE: NCV), AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II (NYSE: NCZ), AllianzGI Diversified Income & Convertible Fund (NYSE: ACV), AllianzGI Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund (NYSE: NFJ) and AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund (NYSE: NIE), (each a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”), which previously announced changes to each Fund’s name in a press release dated January 22, 2021, today also announce changes to the name and CUSIP of each Fund’s share classes, effective February 1, 2021, as shown below.

*No change

These changes are related to a strategic partnership between Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI U.S.”) and Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (“Virtus”) under which Virtus affiliates will become the investment adviser and administrator of each Fund, other than AIO, while AllianzGI U.S. will continue to manage each Fund in a subadvisory capacity, effective February 1, 2021. Virtus will become the administrator to AIO on that date, and a new advisory arrangement will become effective following (and subject to) shareholder approval.

In connection with the transition to Virtus entities as investment adviser and administrator to the Funds, the Funds will operate pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures used by other Virtus-sponsored registered funds, which differ in certain respects from the Funds’ current policies and procedures. The transition is expected to result in a one-time adjustment to the reported net asset values of the Funds’ common shares.

Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of PFP Holdings, Inc., serves as the Funds’ investment manager and is a member of Munich-based Allianz Group.

The Funds’ daily New York Stock Exchange closing market prices and net asset values per share, as well as other information, including updated portfolio statistics and performance, are available at us.allianzgi.com/closedendfunds or by calling the Funds’ shareholder servicing agent at (800)-254-5197.
