Certain Information About Distributions

The determination of the tax attributes of HMS Income Fund’s distributions will be made annually as of the end of HMS Income Fund’s fiscal year based upon its taxable income and distributions paid, in each case, for the full year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to stockholders annually on a Form 1099-DIV. The payment of future distributions on HMS Income Fund’s common stock is subject to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions.

This press release may contain certain forward looking statements, including intentions, beliefs, expectations or projections relating to items such as the timing of payment of distributions. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions that may prove incorrect or inaccurate.  Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements and some of these factors are enumerated in the filings HMS Income Fund makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. HMS Income Fund undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
