XAI Madison Equity Premium Income Fund declared a monthly distribution of $0.060 per share for May, with an ex-dividend and record date of May 15 and a payable date of June 1. This amount matches the fund’s April distribution, reflecting management’s intent to maintain stable payouts.

The distribution may be funded by net investment income, capital gains or return of capital, and the precise tax characteristics will be detailed on shareholders’ Form 1099 after year-end. A return of capital reduces the shareholder’s tax basis but is not immediately taxable.

The fund seeks high current income and capital gains through a portfolio of common stocks and a covered call option strategy, generating premiums and dividends. This approach aims for stability in distributions while pursuing long-term capital appreciation.
