Dear Shareholder,

You are cordially invited to the annual meeting of shareholders (together with any postponements or adjournments thereof, the “Meeting”) of the Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund (NYSE: VTA) which will be held over the internet in a virtual meeting format on September 3, 2021 at 10:30 a.m.  The purpose of the Meeting is to vote on two important proposals that affect the Fund.
Proposal 1:  Proposed Reorganization of the Fund into an Interval Fund that Offers Periodic Repurchases of Shares
After careful consideration, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“IAI”), the investment adviser of the  Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Target Fund”) recommended, and the Board of Trustees (the “Target Fund Board”), on behalf of the Target Fund, approved, the reorganization of the Target Fund into a newly created shell fund, the  Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) to be operated as a continuously offered interval fund pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).  The Acquiring Fund is designed to be similar to the Target Fund from an investment perspective; however, as noted above, the Acquiring Fund will be structured as an interval fund that offers periodic share repurchases at net asset value (“NAV”) pursuant to a fundamental policy in accordance with Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act.  IAI will continue to serve as the investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund and the current portfolio managers of the Target Fund will continue to make the day-to-day investment decisions for the Acquiring Fund, with the addition of two new members.
If shareholders approve the reorganization, the shareholders of the Target Fund will gain the ability to redeem shares directly with the Acquiring Fund at NAV through quarterly repurchase offers.  Currently, in order to liquidate the Target Fund’s shares, a shareholder must sell his or her shares of the Target Fund in the secondary market at market prices that may be greater than (at a premium) or lower than (at a discount to) the Target Fund’s NAV.  Historically, the Target Fund’s shares have traded at a discount to the Target Fund’s NAV.  In addition, by reorganizing into the Acquiring Fund, shareholders will experience a reduction in the total expense ratio paid by shareholders.  The reorganization also has the potential to expand the Acquiring Fund’s presence in distribution channels as a continuously offered interval fund, which could increase the Acquiring Fund’s asset base.  If the Acquiring Fund’s assets increase due to the potential enhanced distribution opportunities, investors in the Target Fund may benefit from potential long-term economies of scale.
As discussed in more detail in the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/ Prospectus”), the Target Fund Board, on behalf of the Target Fund, unanimously approved the reorganization.  As further explained in the enclosed Proxy Statement/Prospectus, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization including the approval by the Target Fund’s shareholders, your current shares in the Target Fund will be exchanged for shares of the Acquiring Fund, which will be equal in value to the NAV of your shares of the Target Fund as of the reorganization’s closing date.
1

The reorganization will be a tax-free exchange for shareholders of the Target Fund.  Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the federal, state and other income tax consequences of the redemption of shares with respect to their particular tax circumstances.
You are being asked to vote to approve the reorganization.  The accompanying Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes the reorganization and compares the investment objective, investment strategies, investment restrictions and expenses of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund for evaluation by the Target Fund shareholders.  The Acquiring Fund has an investment objective that is identical to, and investment strategies and risks that are similar to those of the Target Fund.  The expenses of the Acquiring Fund are expected to be lower than those of the Target Fund with respect to shares received in connection with the reorganization.  You should review the Proxy Statement/Prospectus carefully and retain it for future reference.
The Target Fund Board, including its independent trustees, believes that the reorganization proposed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is in the best interest of the Target Fund.  The attached proxy card seeks your vote in favor of the proposed reorganization of the Target Fund.
After careful consideration, the Target Fund Board unanimously approved the reorganization and recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposals described herein.
Proposal 2:  Election of Trustees
At the Meeting, shareholders of the Target Fund will also be asked to vote for the election of five trustees of the Target Fund.
The Trustees unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” the election of the five nominees for trustee.
Your vote is important.  Please take a moment after reviewing the enclosed materials to sign and return your proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid return envelope.  If you virtually attend the Meeting, you may vote your shares virtually.  We strongly encourage shareholders to return the proxy card or vote by phone or electronically prior to the meeting.  You may also vote your shares by telephone or through a website established for that purpose by following the instructions that appear on the enclosed proxy card.  If we do not hear from you after a reasonable amount of time, you may receive a telephone call from our proxy solicitor, Computershare, Inc., reminding you to vote your shares.
   
   
 
Sincerely,
   
 
Jeffrey H. Kupor

PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
July __, 2021
Introduction
This Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains information that shareholders of the Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Target Fund”) should know before voting on the proposals described herein and should be retained for future reference.  This document is both the proxy statement of the Target Fund and also a prospectus for the newly created Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), which is a closed-end interval fund established for the purpose of effecting the reorganization described herein.  Each of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund is a registered closed-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.  The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund collectively are referred to as the “Funds” and individually as a “Fund.”
The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Target Fund’s shareholders (together with any adjournments or postponements thereof, the “Meeting”) will be held over the internet in a virtual meeting format on September 3, 2021 at 10:30 a.m.  At the Meeting, shareholders of the Target Fund will be asked to consider the following proposals:

(1)
To approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) that provides for the reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund.

(2)
To elect the following five nominees as Trustees: Jack M. Fields, Martin L. Flanagan, Elizabeth Krentzman, Robert C. Troccoli and James D. Vaughn.
With respect to Proposal 1, the Agreement provides for: (a) the transfer of the assets to and assumption of the liabilities of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Class AX shares of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”); (b) the distribution of such Acquiring Fund Shares to the holders of the common shares of the Target Fund (“Target Fund Common Shares”) in complete liquidation of the Target Fund and (c) the cancellation of the outstanding Target Fund Common Shares (the “Reorganization”).
If the shareholders of the Target Fund vote to approve the Agreement, then shareholders of the Target Fund will become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund on or about [October 29, 2021] (the “Closing Date”) and will no longer be shareholders of the Target Fund.  The aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) of the Acquiring Fund Shares to be received by each Target Fund shareholder will be equal to the aggregate NAV of the respective Target Fund Common Shares owned by such shareholder on the Closing Date.  The Reorganization is anticipated to be a tax-free transaction, meaning that shareholders should not be required to pay any federal income tax in connection with the Reorganization.  No sales charges or redemption fees will be imposed in connection with the Reorganization.
The Board of Trustees of the Target Fund (the “Target Fund Board” or “Board”)) has approved the Agreement and has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interest of the Target Fund and will not dilute the interests of the existing shareholders of the Target Fund.  If shareholders of the Target
1

Fund do not approve the Reorganization, the Target Fund Board will consider what further action is appropriate.  Similarly, the Acquiring Fund’s Board of Trustees has approved the Agreement and has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interest of the Acquiring Fund.
With respect to Proposal 2, each nominee for trustee, if elected, will serve for a three-year term or until a successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or his or her earlier death, incapacitation, resignation, retirement or removal.
The Target Fund Board has fixed the close of business on June 7, 2021 as the record date (“Record Date”) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof.  Shareholders of the Target Fund on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each Target Fund Common Share held (and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share).  This Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the enclosed Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the enclosed proxy card will be mailed on or about July __, 2021 to all shareholders eligible to vote on the Reorganization.
A copy of the current prospectus of the Acquiring Fund accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference and deemed to be part of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  The Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, dated the same date as this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, also is incorporated herein by reference and is deemed to be part of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  The most recent annual report to shareholders, containing audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, and the most recent semi-annual report to shareholders of the Target Fund have been previously mailed to shareholders and are available on the Target Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.  These documents are also on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Because the Acquiring Fund has not yet commenced operations as of the date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, no annual or semi-annual report is available for the Acquiring Fund at this time.  Additional information about the Funds is available in the prospectuses and statements of additional information for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and the annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders of the Target Fund.
Only one copy of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless the Target Fund has received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders.  Upon request, we will deliver a separate copy of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of this Proxy Statement /Prospectus was delivered.  Any shareholder who wishes to receive a separate Proxy Statement/Prospectus should contact the Target Fund at1-800-959-4246.
Copies of all of these documents are available upon request without charge by visiting the Fund’s website or by writing to the Target Fund, at 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77046-1173, or calling 1-800-959-4246.  You also may view or obtain these documents on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s Internet site at http://www.sec.gov, and copies of this information may be obtained, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following e-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov.
These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC nor has the SEC passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.  An investment in the Funds is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency.  You may lose money by investing in the Funds.

PROPOSAL 1:  TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
Shareholders of the Target Fund are being asked to consider and approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) that will have the effect of reorganizing the Target Fund with and into the Acquiring Fund, as summarized below.  The Agreement provides for (a) the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets (as defined in the Agreement) to and assumption of the liabilities (as defined in the Agreement) of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Class AX shares of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”); (b) the distribution of such Acquiring Fund Shares to the holders of the common shares of the Target Fund (“Target Fund Common Shares”) in complete liquidation of the Target Fund and (c) the cancellation of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund (the “Reorganization”).
SUMMARY OF KEY INFORMATION
The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in the Agreement, in the prospectuses and SAIs of the Funds and/or the annual or semi-annual reports to shareholders of the Target Fund.  Shareholders should read the entire Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the prospectus of the Acquiring Fund carefully for more complete information.
On what am I being asked to vote?
As a shareholder of the Target Fund, you are being asked to consider and vote to approve the Agreement under which the assets and liabilities of the Target Fund will be transferred to the Acquiring Fund.
If the shareholders of the Target Fund vote to approve the Agreement, then shareholders of the Target Fund will become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund on or about [October 29, 2021] and will no longer be shareholders of the Target Fund.  Shareholders of the Target Fund will receive Acquiring Fund Shares with an aggregate NAV equivalent to their investment in Target Fund Common Shares.  After the Acquiring Fund Shares are distributed to the Target Fund’s shareholders, the Target Fund will be completely liquidated and dissolved.
Has the Target Fund Board approved the Reorganization?
Yes.  The Target Fund Board has carefully reviewed the proposal and unanimously approved the Agreement and the Reorganization.  The Target Fund Board recommends that shareholders of the Target Fund vote in favor of the Agreement.
What are the reasons for the proposed Reorganization?
The Target Fund Board recommends a vote FOR the proposed Reorganization.  The Target Fund Board believes that the interval fund structure of the Acquiring Fund, which requires the Acquiring Fund to commit to mandatory quarterly repurchase offers pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), will offer the benefits of a closed-end vehicle that will enable shareholders to pursue the same investment objective and similar principal investment strategies without shareholders having to trade their shares at a discount to the Acquiring Fund’s NAV. The Acquiring Fund’s mandatory repurchase offers provides shareholders with the ability to regularly redeem their Fund shares directly with the Acquiring Fund at NAV.  As described in greater detail below,
5

pursuant to a fundamental policy that cannot be changed without shareholder approval, the Acquiring Fund is required to conduct quarterly repurchase offers unless limited exceptions apply.
Currently, in order to liquidate the Target Fund’s Common Shares, a shareholder must sell his or her shares of the Target Fund in the secondary market at market prices that may be greater than (at a premium) or lower than (at a discount to) the Target Fund’s NAV.  Historically, the Target Fund’s shares have traded as a discount to the Target Fund’s NAV.  The interval fund structure provides a less costly process for a shareholder to sell his or her shares.  Target Fund shareholders also will have the knowledge that share repurchases will be conducted in each calendar quarter and at NAV.
In addition, by reorganizing into the Acquiring Fund, shareholders will experience a reduction in the total expense ratio paid by shareholders.  The Reorganization also has the potential to expand the Acquiring Fund’s presence in distribution channels as a continuously offered interval fund, which could increase the Acquiring Fund’s asset base.  If the Acquiring Fund’s assets increase due to the potential enhanced distribution opportunities, investors in the Acquiring Fund may benefit from potential long-term economies of scale.
In considering the Reorganization and the Agreement, the Board considered these and other factors in concluding that the Reorganization would be in the best interest of the Funds.  The Target Fund Board’s considerations are described in more detail in the “THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION - Board Considerations in Approving the Reorganization” section below.
What will happen if the Reorganization is approved?
Shareholders of Target Fund Common Shares will become shareholders of Class AX shares of the Acquiring Fund, a closed-end management investment company to be operated as an interval fund on the Closing Date, and will no longer be shareholders of the Target Fund.  The Target Fund’s assets and liabilities will be transferred to the Acquiring Fund, and the Target Fund will then terminate in accordance with its governing documents.
What effect will the Reorganization have on me as a shareholder?
Immediately after the Reorganization, you will hold Acquiring Fund Shares that are equal in value to the Target Fund Common Shares that you held immediately prior to the closing of the Reorganization.  The principal differences between the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  The prospectus of the Acquiring Fund that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains additional information about the Acquiring Fund that you will hold shares of following the Reorganization, if approved by shareholders.
What are the costs of the Reorganization and who is responsible for paying the costs?
The total cost of the Reorganization is estimated to be $175,000, which will be borne by the Target Fund.  The costs of the Reorganization include legal counsel fees, independent accountant fees, expenses related to the printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and fees associated with the proxy solicitation.
When is the Reorganization expected to occur?
If shareholders of the Target Fund approve the Reorganization, it is anticipated that the Reorganization will occur on or about [October 29, 2021].
6

How do I vote on the Reorganization?
There are several ways you can vote your shares, including virtually at the Meeting, by mail, by telephone or via the Internet.  The proxy card that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus provides detailed instructions on how you may vote your shares.  If you properly fill in and sign your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote at the Meeting, your “proxy” (the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed.  If you sign your proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares FOR the proposal, as recommended by the Target Fund Board, and in their best judgment on other matters.
What will happen if shareholders do not approve the Reorganization?
If the shareholders of the Target Fund do not approve the Reorganization, the Target Fund will not reorganize into the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund Board will consider other possible courses of action for the Target Fund.
What if I do not wish to participate in the Reorganization?
If you do not wish to have your shares of the Target Fund exchanged for shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization if approved by shareholders, you may sell your shares in the secondary market prior to the consummation of the Reorganization.  If you sell your shares, you will incur any applicable brokerage fees and if you hold shares in a taxable account, you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them.
In addition, commencing prior to October 1, 2021, you may be eligible to sell some or all of your shares in a conditional one-time tender offer announced by the Target Fund as described under “What is the Standstill Agreement and Tender Offer?”
Why are you sending me the Proxy Statement/Prospectus?
You are receiving this Proxy Statement/Prospectus because you own Target Fund Common Shares as of the Record Date and have the right to vote on the very important proposals described herein concerning your Fund.  This Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains information that shareholders of the Target Fund should know before voting on the proposed Reorganization and electing trustees of the Target Fund.  This document is both a proxy statement of the Target Fund and also a prospectus for the Acquiring Fund.
How does the Target Fund, which operates as a traditional closed-end fund, differ from the Acquiring Fund which will operate as a closed-end interval fund?
The Target Fund lists its shares on a securities exchange.  When a shareholder in the Target Fund wants to liquidate his or her shares, the only option is to sell shares in the secondary market at a market price that may be greater (at a premium) or lower (at a discount) to the Target Fund’s NAV.  In comparison, the Acquiring Fund Shares are not listed for trading on an exchange, and the Acquiring Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the Acquiring Fund Shares in the foreseeable future.  To provide some liquidity to shareholders, the Acquiring Fund, however, will have a fundamental policy that will require it to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for between 5% and 25% of the Fund’s outstanding shares at NAV, subject to certain conditions.  Such repurchases are referred to as “mandatory repurchases” because the Acquiring Fund is required to conduct the repurchase offer unless certain limited circumstances occur.  The Acquiring Fund’s Board will approve the percentage of Acquiring Fund shares to be repurchased each quarter.  There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all
7

of the shares they desire in a mandatory repurchase offer because shareholders, in total, may wish to sell more than the percentage of the Acquiring Fund’s shares being repurchased.  The Acquiring Fund intends to maintain liquid securities, cash or access to a bank line of credit in amounts sufficient to meet the quarterly redemption offer requirements.  An investment in the Acquiring Fund, unlike the Target Fund, is not a liquid investment.
How do the Funds’ investment objectives, principal investment strategies and risks compare?
Investment Objectives.  The Funds’ investment objectives are identical.  Each of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund seeks a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.  Each Fund’s investment objective is classified as non-fundamental, which means that it can be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.  Each of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund has entered into a credit agreement which limits the Fund’s ability to engage in certain activities, including changing its investment objective or fundamental investment restrictions without the approval of lenders.
Investment Strategy and Risks.  The principal investment strategies and risks of the Acquiring Fund are similar to the principal investment strategies and risks of the Target Fund.  However, unlike the Target Fund, which is structured as a diversified fund, the Acquiring Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it may invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a more diversified fund.  The other principal risks of an investment in the Funds are similar in light of the Funds’ identical investment goals and similar investment strategies; however, there are certain differences that arise because the Acquiring Fund operates as an interval fund (e.g., liquidity, limited network of broker-dealers and repurchase offer risks) as described herein.  The sections below entitled “ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS - Comparison of Principal Investment Strategies” and “Comparison of the Risks of Investing in the Funds” compare the principal investment strategies and risks of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and highlight certain key differences.
How do the Funds’ expenses compare?
Target Fund shareholders are expected to experience a reduction in their total expenses if the Reorganization is consummated.  The tables below provide a summary comparison of the expenses of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, as well as estimated expenses on a pro forma basis giving effect to the proposed Reorganization.  The pro forma expense ratios show projected estimated expenses, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

Expense ratios reflect annual fund operating expenses as of February 28, 2021 for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund.  Pro forma numbers are estimated as if the Reorganization had been completed as of February 28, 2021 and the Acquiring Fund experienced a year of combined operations and do not include the estimated costs of the Reorganization.  The estimated Reorganization costs that the Target Fund will bear are $175,000.  For more information on the costs of the Reorganization to be borne by the Target Fund, see “Costs of the Reorganization” below.


1.
Common Shareholders of the Target Fund pay a service fee of $2.50 and brokerage charges if they direct the plan agent to sell Common Shares held in a dividend reinvestment account.  See “Dividend Reinvestment Plan.”

2.
The Target Fund pays the Adviser an annual fee, payable monthly, in an amount equal to 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets (as defined below under the heading “How do the management, investment adviser and other service providers of the Funds compare”).  The fee shown above is based upon outstanding leverage of 30.8% of the Fund’s total assets.  If leverage of more than 31.1% of the Fund’s total assets is used, the management fees shown would be higher.

3.
Based on the Target Fund’s outstanding borrowings and outstanding preferred shares as of February 28, 2021 of approximately $191 million and $100 million, respectively, and the average daily weighted interest rate for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021 of 0.38% and dividends on preferred shares at an annual rate of 0.09%, respectively.  On June 7, 2021, all outstanding preferred shares were redeemed.

4.
“Other Expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

5.
These expenses represent estimated interest payments the Acquiring Fund expects to incur in connection with its expected credit facility.  See “Use of Leverage” in the accompanying Acquiring Fund Prospectus.  The amount shown in the table above is based on the assumption that the Fund borrows the maximum
9



amount of money for investment purposes in an amount approximately equal to 33.33% of the Fund’s total assets (defined as net assets plus borrowing for investment purposes).

Expense Example
The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund with the costs of investing in other funds.  Pro forma combined costs of investing in the Acquiring Fund after giving effect to the Reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund are also provided.  The example assumes that you invest $1,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and for the Acquiring Fund only, the Fund repurchases all of your Shares at the end of those periods.  The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same each year and that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested at NAV.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

The Example is not a representation of past or future expenses.  The Target Fund’s and Acquiring Fund’s actual expenses, and an investor’s direct and indirect expenses, may be more or less than those shown.  The table and the assumption in the Example of a 5% annual return are required by regulations of the SEC applicable to all funds.  The 5% annual return is not a prediction of and does not represent the Funds’ projected or actual performance.
For further discussion regarding the Board’s consideration of the fees and expenses of the Funds in approving the Reorganization, see the section entitled “THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION - Board Considerations in Approving the Reorganization” in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
What is the performance record of the Target Fund?
The total returns of the Target Fund Common Shares based on NAV and market price for the periods ended March 31, 2021, based on historical fees and expenses for each period, are set forth in the table below.  Updated information on the Target Fund’s performance, including its current NAV, can be obtained by visiting www.invesco.com/us or can be obtained by phone at 1-800-341-2929.  The Acquiring Fund has been formed for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization and will not commence investment operations until the Reorganization closes.  Therefore, no performance information is provided for the Acquiring Fund.  The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective is identical to that of the Target Fund, and the Funds’ investment strategies are similar; however, no assurance can be given that the Acquiring Fund will achieve any particular level of performance after the Reorganization.  The Target Fund expects that it will be the performance and accounting survivor upon consummation of the Reorganization.
The table below compares the performance of the Target Fund Common Shares to that of a broad measure of market performance.  The performance information for the Target Fund in the table assumes reinvestment of the dividends and distributions.  Returns on a NAV basis are net of Target Fund expenses.  As with all such investments, past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future results.  If the Target Fund’s investment manager and its affiliates had not waived or reimbursed
10

certain Target Fund expenses during these periods, the Target Fund’s common share returns would have been lower.

How do the management, investment adviser and other service providers of the Funds compare?
Each Fund is overseen by the same Board and officers.  In addition, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco Advisers,” “IAI” or the “Adviser”), a registered investment adviser, serves as primary investment adviser for each Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement that contains identical terms for each Fund other than the date.  The advisory fee for the Acquiring Fund is the same as the advisory fee of the Target Fund.
Advisory Fee Schedule
 
Each of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund pays the Adviser an annual fee, payable monthly, in an amount equal to 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily managed assets, which means the average daily total asset value of the Fund minus the sum of accrued liabilities other than the aggregate liquidation preference of any preferred shares and/or the aggregate amount of any borrowings for investment purposes (“Managed Assets”).
The Adviser, not the Funds, pays 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) (as defined below) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the  Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2023, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Target Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021, the Adviser received compensation of 1.80% of the Target Fund’s average daily net assets, after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any.  The Acquiring Fund has not yet commenced operations and therefore has not paid any advisory fees.
Invesco Advisers is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.  Invesco Advisers has acted as an investment adviser since its organization in 1976.  As of March 31, 2021, Invesco Advisers had $684.2 billion under management.  Invesco Advisers is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco.
11

The Master Investment Advisory Agreement for both the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund provides that, in fulfilling its responsibilities, Invesco Advisers may engage the services of other investment managers with respect to the Funds.
Invesco Advisers has entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund, pursuant to which these sub-advisers may be appointed by Invesco Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Funds.  These sub-advisers, each of which is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) are:
Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited (Invesco Japan)
Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH (Invesco Deutschland)
Invesco Asset Management Limited (Invesco Asset Management)
Invesco Canada Ltd. (Invesco Canada)
Invesco Hong Kong Limited (Invesco Hong Kong)
Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (Invesco Senior Secured)
In addition, with respect to the Acquiring Fund, Invesco Advisers has also entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with two additional affiliates, Invesco Capital Management LLC, Inc. (Invesco Capital) and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (Invesco India), each a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act, to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund.
Invesco Advisers and each Sub-Adviser (each an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco.
Invesco Senior Secured and Invesco Asset Management currently serve as sub-advisers to the Acquiring Fund and manage the Acquiring Fund’s investment program.  As noted above, Invesco Advisers may appoint one or more additional Affiliated Sub-Adviser to provide investment management, investment advice or portfolio management services to the Acquiring Fund.
Listed in the chart below are other key service providers to the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund, including the administrator, transfer agent, distributor, custodian, and independent registered public accounting firm.  The Acquiring Fund’s prospectus and SAI describe the services and other arrangements with these service providers.

Will the Acquiring Fund have different portfolio managers than the Target Fund?
Yes.  The current portfolio managers of the Target Fund are expected to manage the Acquiring Fund; however, the Acquiring Fund’s portfolio management team also includes two additional members who does not currently serve as a portfolio manager of the Target Fund.
Current Portfolio Managers of the Target Fund who will Continue to Manage the Acquiring Fund

Scott Baskind (lead manager), Portfolio Manager, has been responsible for the Target Fund since 2010 and has been associated with Invesco Senior Secured and/or its affiliates since 1999.

Nuno Caetano, Portfolio Manager, has been responsible for the Target Fund since 2013 and has been associated with Invesco Asset Management and/or its affiliates since 2010.

Philip Yarrow, Portfolio Manager, has been responsible for the Target Fund since 2007 and has been associated with Invesco Senior Secured and/or its affiliates since 2010.
New Portfolio Managers

Thomas Ewald, Portfolio Manager, has been associated with Invesco Senior Secured and/or its affiliates since 2000.

Ron Kantowitz, Portfolio Manager, has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2018.  From 2013 to 2018, he was employed by Benefit Street Partners, an alternative credit asset manager, where he served as Managing Director.
How do the Funds’ purchase and redemption procedures and exchange policies compare?
The Fund’s shareholder purchase and redemption procedures are different due to the fact that the Acquiring Fund is a closed-end interval fund whose shares are not listed on any securities exchange but provides for daily purchases of shares and quarterly repurchases of shares at NAV whereas the Target Fund is a closed-end fund whose shares are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and may be purchased and sold in the secondary market at market prices that may be greater than (at a premium) or lower than (at a discount to) the Target Fund’s NAV.  For more information see, “The Reorganization — Comparison of Purchase and Redemption Procedures and Exchange Rights.”
13

How do the Funds’ sales charges and distribution arrangements compare?
Common Shares of the Target Fund and Class AX Shares of the Acquiring Fund have no sales charge or distribution and service fees.
How do the dividend and distribution policies of the Funds compare?
The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund have different dividend and distribution policies.  The Target Fund makes regular monthly distributions of all or a portion of its net investment income to shareholders.  The Target Fund has adopted a managed distribution plan (the “Plan”) whereby the Target will pay a monthly dividend to Target Fund shareholders at a stated fixed monthly distribution amount of $0.075 per share.  The Plan is intended to provide shareholders with a consistent, but not guaranteed, periodic cash payment from the Target Fund, regardless of when or whether income is earned or capital gains are realized.  If investment income is not sufficient to cover the Target Fund’s intended monthly distribution, the Target Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution level under the Plan.  A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that shareholders invested in the Fund is paid back to them.  To the extent that the Fund pays distributions that constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it will lower an investor’s tax basis in his or her shares.  A return of capital generally is a return of an investor’s investment, rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from the Fund’s investment activities, and generally results in a reduction of the tax basis in the shares.  As a result from such reduction in tax basis, shareholders may be subject to tax in connection with the sale of Fund shares, even if such shares are sold at a loss relative to the shareholder’s original investment.
The Acquiring Fund declares daily and distributes quarterly all, or substantially all, of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.
Both Funds generally distribute long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.  Each Fund may also declare and pay capital gains distributions more than once per year as permitted by law.  Various factors will affect the level of a Fund’s net investment income, such as its asset mix, its level of retained earnings, the amount of leverage utilized by the Fund and the effects thereof, and the movement of interest rates.  These factors, among others, may result in the Acquiring Fund’s level of net investment income being different from the level of net investment income for the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund if the Reorganization was not completed.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan.  Both Funds offer a dividend reinvestment plan.  The dividend reinvestment plan allows Fund shareholders to reinvest their dividends and capital gains distributions (“Distributions”) into additional shares of a Fund.  Under the Target Fund Plan, the money that Target Fund shareholders earn from Distributions is reinvested automatically in more shares of the Target Fund.  All shareholders in the Target Fund are automatically enrolled in the Plan when shares are purchased.  The Acquiring Fund Shares received in the Reorganization will be subject previous instructions regarding reinvestment of Distributions until such shareholder changes his or her instruction.
Will there be any tax consequences resulting from the proposal?
The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes, and the delivery of a legal opinion to that effect is a condition of closing of the Reorganization,
14

although there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will adopt a similar position.  Being a tax-free reorganization means that, subject to the limited exceptions described below under the heading “FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REORGANIZATION,” the shareholders of the Target Fund will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of all of their shares in the Target Fund for shares in the Acquiring Fund.  Shareholders should consult their tax advisers about state and local tax consequences of the Reorganization, if any, because the information about tax consequences in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement relates only to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization.  For more information, please see the section “FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REORGANIZATION.”
What is the Standstill Agreement and the Tender Offer?
The Target Fund has entered into a Standstill Agreement dated as of May 7, 2021 by and among the Target Fund, Invesco Advisers and Saba Capital Management, L.P. (“Saba”), a shareholder that currently owns more than 15% of the Target Fund Common Shares as of _________, 2021.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Target Fund will commence a cash tender offer for up to 20% of the Target Fund Common Shares at a price per share equal to 98.5% of the Target Fund’s NAV per share (the “Tender Offer”).  The Tender Offer is currently anticipated to commence prior to October 1, 2021 and will be completed prior to the Closing Date.  The number of shares that you would be eligible to sell in the Tender Offer will depend on the total number of shares tendered by all Target Fund shareholders.  In addition, after the Tender Offer and if Target Fund shareholders approve the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund will conduct quarterly repurchase offers for 10% of the Acquiring Fund’s then outstanding shares at NAV for each of the quarters ended March 2022 and June 2022, subject to certain contingencies described in the agreement and the Acquiring Fund Board’s ability to redetermine such amounts provided the conditions in the Standstill Agreement are satisfied.  Pursuant to the Standstill Agreement, Saba has agreed to vote all of its Target Fund shares in favor of approval of the Reorganization as described in Proposal 1 and in favor of the election of each nominee as Trustee of the Target Fund as described in Proposal 2.
Where can I find more information about the Funds and the Reorganization?
Additional information about the Funds can be found in their respective prospectuses and SAIs.  This Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains additional information about the Reorganization and other proposal to be made to shareholders.  You are encouraged to read the entire document.  If you need any assistance or have any questions regarding the Reorganization or how to vote, please call [____].
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS
Comparison of the Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies, Risks and Fundamental Investment Restrictions of the Funds
Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies of the Funds
Investment Objective.  Each Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.
Principal Investment Strategies.  Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by opportunistically investing primarily in credit securities of issuers which operate in a variety of industries and geographic regions located throughout the world.  Under normal market conditions, each Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in any combination of the following credit securities: (i) senior secured floating rate and fixed rate loans (“Senior Loans”); (ii)
15

second lien or other subordinated or unsecured floating rate and fixed rate loans or debt; and (iii) other debt obligations, including high-yield, high-risk obligations.  In complying with this 80% investment requirement, each Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
Maturity/Duration.  Each Fund may invest in credit securities of any maturity or duration, and each Fund will not be managed for maturity or duration.  Although each Fund will not be managed for maturity or duration, given the nature of the Fund’s portfolio, each Fund’s portfolio will likely have a low average duration (generally, four years or less).
Diversification/Non-Diversification.  Unlike the Target Fund, which is structured as a diversified fund, the Acquiring Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it may invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a more diversified fund.
Equity Securities.  Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in equity securities obtained through debt restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings and in structured products, including structured notes, credit-linked notes, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized bond obligations and collateralized loan obligations and other types of structured products.
Swaps.  Each Fund also may invest in swaps, including credit default, total return, index and interest rate swaps.  To the extent that the Fund invests in structured products or swaps that gain exposure to credit securities, such investments will be counted for purposes of the Fund’s 80% policy.
Junk Bonds.  Each Fund may invest, without limitation, in below investment grade debt securities (that is, securities rated Ba or lower by Moody’s or BB or lower by S&P) or debt securities that are unrated but judged to be below investment grade by Invesco at the time of purchase, which are commonly referred to as “junk” securities.  Any of the Target Fund’s or the Acquiring Fund’s investments may be issued by non-stressed, stressed and distressed issuers, including issuers in bankruptcy.  Under normal market conditions, the Target Fund, but not the Acquiring Fund will limit itself to no more than 20% of its total assets in obligations not making current interest and principal payments when due.
Senior Loan Originations.  Each Fund may originate Senior Loans directly or through investments in one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The Target Fund may participate in direct lending opportunities through its indirect investment in the Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunities Loan Origination LLC (the “LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company.  The Target Fund owns all beneficial and economic interests in the Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunities Loan Origination Trust, a Massachusetts Business Trust (the “Loan Origination Trust”), which in turn owns all beneficial and economic interests in the LLC.  The Target Fund’s ownership in the Loan Origination Trust will be transferred to the Acquiring Fund in connection with the Reorganization, and the Acquiring Fund will participate in direct lending opportunities through the Loan Origination Trust in the same manner as the Target Fund.  The amount of Senior Loans originated by each Fund is limited to 60% of the Fund’s net assets.  Neither Fund is limited in the size or type of Senior Loans they may originate, including with respect to a single borrower or with respect to borrowers that are determined to be below investment grade.
Co-Investment.  The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund may co-invest with certain other persons, including certain affiliates of Invesco and certain funds managed and controlled by IAI and its affiliates, subject to certain terms and conditions outlined in an exemptive order granted to Invesco and certain of its affiliates by the SEC (the “Exemptive Order”).  The Acquiring Fund may co-invest with its affiliates in Senior Loans, including Senior Loans directly originated by the Acquiring Fund or its
16

affiliates and may also engage in direction origination of Senior Loans with its affiliates, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exemptive Order and related compliance policies.
U.S./Non-U.S. Issuers.  Both Funds will invest in obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and such obligations may be U.S. dollar denominated as well as non-U.S. dollar denominated.  Under normal market conditions, both  Funds expects to invest in issuers located anywhere in the world and, although under current market conditions, neither Fund intends to invest in obligations of issuers located in emerging market countries, both Funds may so do if it determines that such investments are appropriate for the Fund.
Short-Term Debt Securities.  From time to time, both Funds may invest in short-term debt securities such as U.S. government securities, commercial paper and other money market instruments and cash equivalents.
Illiquid Securities.  Both Funds may invest without limitation in obligations for which there is no readily available trading market or which are otherwise illiquid, including securities restricted as to resale such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Liquidity ConsiderationsNeither the Target Fund nor the Acquiring Fund are subject to Rule 22e-4 of the 1940 Act, the SEC’s liquidity risk management rule.  Accordingly, the Target Fund is not subject to restrictions with respect to its holdings in illiquid investments.  Similarly, during periods when there is no repurchase offer in effect, interval funds such as the Acquiring Fund also do not have restrictions with respect to portfolio liquidity.  However, once an interval fund provides notice to shareholders of a repurchase offer, it is required to maintain 100% of the repurchase offer amount in liquid assets (which may include a line of credit).  Invesco currently has Board-approved liquidity procedures (the “Liquidity Procedures”) applicable to the Acquiring Fund that are designed to ensure that the Acquiring Fund’s holdings are sufficiently liquid so that it can comply with its fundamental policy to periodically repurchase shares, as required by Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act.
Use of Leverage.  Each Fund may utilize financial leverage for investment purposes (i.e., to use such financial leverage to purchase additional portfolio securities consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and primary investment strategy) to benefit the Fund’s common shares.  In addition, the Acquiring Fund may use leverage to provide the Fund with additional liquidity to meet its obligations to repurchase its shares pursuant to its repurchase offers.  Each Fund’s policy on financial leverage allows the Fund to use financial leverage in the form of borrowings and/or preferred shares to the maximum extent allowable under the 1940 Act. It is anticipated that the Acquiring Fund will initially maintain a lower leverage percentage than the Target Fund.
Currently, the Target Fund may employ financial leverage by borrowing through a credit facility.  The Target Fund has entered into a $325 million revolving credit and security agreement, which will expire on December 2, 2021.  The revolving credit and security agreement is secured by the assets of the Fund.  During the year ended February 28, 2021, the average daily balance of borrowing under the revolving credit and security agreement was $200,035,616 with a weighted average interest rate of 1.25%.  Prior to June 7, 2021 (the date on which preferred shares were redeemed), the Target Fund also employed financial leverage through the issuance of preferred securities that were senior to the common shares.  Upon the consummation of the Reorganization, the Target Fund’s credit facility is expected to transfer to the Acquiring Fund.  The Adviser will regularly review the Acquiring Fund’s use of financial leverage (i.e., the relative costs and benefits of leverage on the Fund’s common shares) and review the alternative means to achieve leverage (i.e., the relative benefits and costs of borrowing versus issuing preferred shares).
17

Fundamental Investment Restrictions of the Funds.  The Funds are subject to similar fundamental restrictions regarding their investments.  However, as discussed above, as an interval fund to be operated in accordance with Rule 23c-3, the Acquiring Fund is also subject to additional fundamental policies with respect to its mandatory share repurchases.  A fundamental investment restriction may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of a Fund’s outstanding securities (as defined in the 1940 Act).
Each Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions are listed below.
Policy
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
Diversification
The Fund may not invest in a manner inconsistent with its classification as a “diversified company” as provided by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief applicable to the Fund from the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time. 
No comparable restriction.
Borrowings/Senior Securities
The Fund may not issue senior securities nor borrow money, except the Fund by issue senior securities or borrow money to the extent permitted by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief applicable to the Fund from the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time. 
The Fund may not borrow money or issue senior securities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as such statute, rules and regulations are amended from time to time or are interpreted from time to time by the SEC staff (collectively, the “1940 Act Laws and Interpretations”) or except to the extent that the Fund may be permitted to do so by exemptive order or similar relief (collectively, with the 1940 Act Laws and Interpretations, the “1940 Act Laws, Interpretations, and Exemptions”).
Underwriting Securities
The Fund may not act as an underwriter of securities issued by others, except to the extent that, in connection with disposition of loans or portfolio securities, it may deemed to be an underwriter under applicable securities laws. 
The Fund may not underwrite the securities of other issuers.  This restriction does not prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or resale of its portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund may be considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).

The Fund may not invest in any security if, as a result, 25% or more of the value of the Fund’s total assets, taken at market value at the time of each investment, are in the securities of issues in any particular industry except (a) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities or securities of state and municipal governments or their political subdivisions (however, not including private purpose industrial development bonds issued on behalf of non-government issuers), or (b) as otherwise provided by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief applicable to the Fund from the provisions of the 1940 act, as amended from time to time. 
The Fund will not make investments that will result in the concentration (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions) of its investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry.  This restriction does not limit the Fund’s investments in (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or (ii) tax-exempt obligations issued by governments or political subdivisions of governments.  In complying with this restriction, the Fund will not consider a bank-issued guaranty or financial guaranty insurance as a separate security.
Real Estate
Investment
The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate except that the Fund may: (a) acquire or lease office space for its own use, (b) invest in securities of issuers that invest in real estate or interests therein or that are engaged or operate in the real estate industry, (c) invest in securities that are secured by real estate or other interests therein, (d) purchase and sell mortgage-related securities, (e) hold and sell real estate acquired by the Fund as a result of the ownership of securities and (f) as otherwise permitted by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief applicable to the Fund from the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time. 
The Fund may not purchase real estate or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments.  This restriction does not prevent the Fund from investing in issuers that invest, deal, or otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein, or investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein.
Investment in
Commodities
The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments; provided that this restriction shall not prohibit the Fund from purchasing or selling options, futures contracts and related options thereon, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars and any other financial instruments or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by
The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or other governing statute, by the rules thereunder, or by the SEC or other regulatory agency with authority over the Fund.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds
Because the Funds have identical investment objectives, similar principal investment strategies and processes, and continuity of portfolio management (the Acquiring Fund’s team includes two additional portfolio managers), the principal risks of the Funds are similar.  In general, the additional principal risks for the Acquiring Fund are related to the Acquiring Fund’s classification as a non-diversified investment company and its operation as an interval fund and the need to satisfy quarterly redemption requests.
Principal Risks Common to the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund include:
LIBOR Transition Risk, Market Risk, COVID-19 Risk, Debt Securities Risk, Senior Loans and Other Loans Risk (including Prepayment or Call Risk, Second Lien or Other Subordinated or Unsecured Loans or Debt Risk, High Yield Debt Securities Risk (Junk bond risk), Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk, Financial Services Sector Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Loan Origination Risk, Valuation Risk, Regulatory Risk, Subsidiary Risk, Investment in Middle Market Companies Risk, Conflicts of Interest Risk Related to Co-Investing, Conflict of Interest Created by Valuation Process for Certain Portfolio Holdings Risk, Defaulted Securities Risk, Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Restricted Securities Risk, Preferred Shares Risk, Foreign Securities Risk, Structure Products Risk,  Derivatives Risk, Borrowing and Leverage Risk,  Zero Coupon or Pay in Kind Securities Risk and Management Risk.
For more information on these risks, see the section titled “Risk” in the Acquiring Fund prospectus that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Principal Investment Risks that Apply to the Acquiring Fund But Not the Target Fund 
Non-Diversified Fund Risk.  Because the Acquiring Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.  This may increase the Acquiring Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.
Other Risks that Apply to the Acquiring Fund But Not the Target Fund 
Shares Not Listed; No Market for Shares.  The Acquiring Fund has been organized as a closed-end management investment company.  Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies (commonly known as mutual funds) because investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their shares on a daily basis.  Unlike most closed-end funds such as the Target Fund, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, the Acquiring Fund does not currently intend to list the Acquiring Fund Shares for trading on any securities exchange, and the Acquiring Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the Shares in the foreseeable future.  Therefore, an investment in the Acquiring Fund, unlike an investment in a typical closed-end fund, is not a liquid investment.
Closed-end Interval Fund; Liquidity Risks.  The Acquiring Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company structured as an “interval fund” and designed primarily for long-term investors.  The Acquiring Fund is not intended to be a typical traded investment.  There is no secondary market for the Acquiring Fund’s Shares and the Acquiring Fund expects that no secondary market will develop.  An investor should not invest in the Acquiring Fund if the investor needs a liquid investment.  Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies, commonly known as mutual funds, in that investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their shares on a daily basis at
21

a price based on NAV.  Although the Acquiring Fund, as a fundamental policy, will make quarterly offers to repurchase between 5% and 25% of its outstanding Acquiring Fund Shares at NAV, the number of Acquiring Fund Shares tendered in connection with a repurchase offer may exceed the number of Acquiring Fund Shares the Acquiring Fund has offered to repurchase, in which case not all of your Acquiring Fund Shares tendered in that offer will be repurchased.  In connection with any given repurchase offer, it is likely that the Acquiring Fund may offer to repurchase only the minimum amount of 5% of its outstanding Acquiring Fund Shares.  Hence, you may not be able to sell your Acquiring Fund Shares when and/or in the amount that you desire.
Limited Network of Broker-Dealers Risk.  The success of the Acquiring Fund’s continuous public offering, and correspondingly the Acquiring Fund’s ability to implement its investment objective and strategies, depends upon the ability of the distributor to establish, operate and maintain a network of selected broker-dealers and financial services firms to sell the shares.  If the distributor fails to perform, the Acquiring Fund may not be able to raise adequate proceeds through the Acquiring Fund’s continuous public offering to implement the Acquiring Fund’s investment objective and strategies.  If the Acquiring Fund is unsuccessful in implementing its investment objective and strategies, an investor could lose all or a part of his or her investment in the Acquiring Fund.
Repurchase Offers Risks.  The Acquiring Fund is an “interval fund” and, to provide some liquidity to shareholders, makes quarterly offers to repurchase between 5% and 25% of its outstanding shares at NAV, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act.  The Acquiring Fund believes that these repurchase offers are generally beneficial to the Acquiring Fund’s shareholders, and generally are funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities.  However, the repurchase of shares by the Acquiring Fund decreases the assets of the Acquiring Fund and, therefore, may have the effect of increasing the Acquiring Fund’s expense ratio.  Repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may also affect the ability of the Acquiring Fund to be fully invested or force the Acquiring Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments, which may harm the Acquiring Fund’s investment performance.  Moreover, diminution in the size of the Acquiring Fund through repurchases may result in untimely sales of portfolio securities, and may limit the ability of the Acquiring Fund to participate in new investment opportunities.  If the Acquiring Fund uses leverage, repurchases of shares may compound the adverse effects of leverage in a declining market.  In addition, if the Acquiring Fund borrows money to finance repurchases, interest on that borrowing will negatively affect shareholders who do not tender their shares by increasing Fund expenses and reducing any net investment income.  Certain shareholders may from time to time own or control a significant percentage of the Acquiring Fund’s shares.  Repurchase requests by these shareholders of these shares of the Acquiring Fund may cause repurchases to be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able to have a portion of their shares repurchased in connection with any repurchase offer.  If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed and the Acquiring Fund determines not to repurchase additional shares beyond the repurchase offer amount, or if shareholders tender an amount of shares greater than that which the Acquiring Fund is entitled to purchase, the Acquiring Fund will repurchase the shares tendered on a pro rata basis, and shareholders will have to wait until the next repurchase offer to make another repurchase request.  Shareholders will be subject to the risk of NAV fluctuations during that period.  Thus, there is also a risk that some Shareholders, in anticipation of proration, may tender more shares than they wish to have repurchased in a particular quarterly period, thereby increasing the likelihood that proration will occur.  The NAV of shares tendered in a repurchase offer may fluctuate between the date a Shareholder submits a repurchase request and the Repurchase Request Deadline, and to the extent there is any delay between the repurchase request deadline and the repurchase pricing date.  The NAV on the repurchase request deadline or the repurchase pricing date may be higher or lower than on the date a shareholder submits a repurchase request.
22

Other Risks Relating to the Target Fund but not the Acquiring Fund
Market Discount from Net Asset Value RiskShares of closed-end investment companies like the Target Fund frequently trade at prices lower than their NAV.  Because the market price of the Target Fund’s common shares is determined by factors such as relative market supply and demand, general market and economic circumstances, and other factors beyond the control of the Target Fund, the Target Fund cannot predict whether its shares of common stock will trade at, below or above NAV.  This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Target Fund’s NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities.  Common shareholders bear a risk of loss to the extent that the price at which they sell their shares is lower than at the time of purchase.
Distribution Risk.  The Target Fund Board has adopted a Managed Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) for the Target Fund whereby the Target Fund seeks to pay a stated fixed monthly distribution amount to common shareholders.  The Plan is intended to provide common shareholders with a consistent, but not guaranteed, periodic cash payment from the Target Fund, regardless of when or whether income is earned or capital gains are realized.  If sufficient investment income is not available for a monthly distribution, the Target Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution level under the Plan.  The Plan is subject to periodic review by the Board, and the Board may amend the terms of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to the Target Fund’s shareholders.  The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Target Fund’s common shares.
For more information on these risks and other risks relating to the Acquiring Fund, see the section titled “Risk” in the Acquiring Fund prospectus that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Comparison of Purchase and Redemption Procedures and Exchange Rights
Purchase Procedures
The purchase procedures of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund differ due to the Acquiring Fund’s interval fund structure.  The primary difference is that the Target Fund shareholder generally must purchase additional Common Shares of the Target Fund in the secondary market on the NYSE at market prices that may be greater than (at a premium) or lower than (at a discount to) the Target Fund’s NAV.  Shareholders who receive Class AX Shares of the Acquired Fund in connection with the Reorganization may purchase additional Class AX Shares from the Acquired Fund at NAV.
Common Shares of the Target Fund are purchased at market price on any day the NYSE is open for business under the ticker symbol “VTA.”  In addition, the Target Fund may offer shares: in at-the-market transactions through one or more selling agents that the Fund may designate from time to time and/or through broker-dealers that have entered into a selected dealer agreement with the Fund’s selling agent(s); otherwise through agents that the Fund may designate from time to time; to or through underwriters or dealers; or directly to one or more purchasers.
Class AX Shares of the Acquiring Fund may be purchased on any day directly at NAV from the Fund, as well as through financial intermediaries.  Class AX Shares may also be purchase through an automatic investment plan whereby a shareholder can authorize Invesco Investment Services to debit the shareholder’s bank account on a regular basis to invest predetermined amounts in Class AX Shares of the Fund.
23

Redemption/Repurchase Procedures
The redemption procedures of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund also differ due to the Acquiring Fund’s interval fund structure.  The primary difference is that the Target Fund shareholder must sell his or her Common Shares of the Target Fund in the secondary market on the NYSE at market prices that may be greater than (at a premium) or lower than (at a discount to) the Target Fund’s NAV.  Class AX Shares of the Acquiring Fund may be repurchased by the Acquired Fund at NAV but only quarterly.  The Acquiring Fund’s shares are not listed on any securities exchange, and the Acquiring Fund anticipates that no secondary market will develop for its shares.  Accordingly, an Acquiring Fund shareholder may not be able to sell shares when and/or in the amount that the shareholder desires.  Thus, the Acquiring Fund Shares are appropriate only as a long-term investment.
The Acquiring Fund makes quarterly offers to repurchase between 5% and 25% of its outstanding shares at NAV, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act, unless such offer is suspended or postponed in accordance with regulatory requirements (as discussed below).  The Acquiring Fund’s Board will approve the percentage of Acquiring Fund shares to be repurchased each quarter.  Quarterly repurchases will occur in the months of March, June, September and December.  The Acquiring Fund expects its initial repurchase offer to commence in the first quarter of 2022.  The offer to purchase shares is a fundamental policy that may not be changed without the vote of the holders of a majority of the Acquiring Fund’s outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act).
Written notification of each quarterly repurchase offer is sent to shareholders at least 21 calendar days before the repurchase request deadline (i.e., the date by which shareholders can tender their shares in response to a repurchase offer) (the “Repurchase Request Deadline”); however, the Acquiring Fund will seek to provide such written notification earlier but no more than 42 calendar days before the Repurchase Request Deadline.
 The NAV will be calculated no later than the 14th calendar day (or the next business day if the 14th calendar day is not a business day) after the Repurchase Request Deadline (the “Repurchase Pricing Date”).  The Fund will distribute payment to shareholders within seven calendar days after the Repurchase Pricing Date.
If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed and the Acquiring Fund determines not to repurchase additional Shares beyond the repurchase offer amount, or if Shareholders tender an amount of Shares greater than that which the Acquiring Fund is entitled to purchase, the Acquiring Fund will repurchase the shares tendered on a pro rata basis, and Shareholders will have to wait until the next repurchase offer to make another repurchase request.  In addition, the Acquiring Fund’s repurchase offers may subject the Acquiring Fund and Shareholders to special risks.
Exchange Rights
The Target Fund does not offer exchange rights.
Acquiring Fund shareholders may exchange some or all of their Class AX Shares of the Acquiring Fund for Class AX or Class A shares of the same class of certain other Invesco funds (“Participating Funds”).  Shareholders may do this through their financial intermediary, or by telephone or mail.  Shareholders seeking an exchange amongst Participating Funds should obtain and read the current prospectus for such fund prior to implementing an exchange.  A prospectus of any of the Participating Funds may be obtained from an authorized dealer or Invesco Distributors or by visiting our website at www.invesco.com/us.

COMPARISON OF ORGANIZATION, STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE OF THE FUNDS
The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are each organized as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (“DSTA”).  As a result, there are no material differences between the rights of shareholders under the governing state laws of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund except differences in rights provided for in the respective governing instruments of these entities, some of which are discussed below.
The following is a discussion of certain important provisions of the governing documents of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, but is not a complete description thereof.  Further information about each Fund’s governance structure is contained in the Fund’s SAI and its governing instruments, which are on file with the SEC.
Organization and Governing Law.  The Target Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 15, 2007, pursuant to a Certificate of Trust and commenced operations on June 26, 2007.  The Acquiring Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on May 7, 2021 pursuant to a Certificate of Trust and will commence operations on the Closing Date.  The Target Fund and Acquiring Fund are each governed by its Agreement and Declaration of Trust (a “Declaration of Trust”) and its By-Laws, and its business and affairs are managed under the supervision of its Board of Trustees.  Each Fund is subject to the federal securities laws, including the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder.
Shares.  The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with no par value.  When issued and paid for in accordance with the prospectus, common shares of both the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are fully paid and non-assessable, have no preemptive or subscription rights and are freely transferable.  Each common share of both the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund represents an equal, proportionate interest in the assets of such Fund with other common shareholders of the Fund.  Common shares of the Acquiring Fund are entitled to receive a pro rata share of distributions of income and capital gains, if any, made with respect to that Fund as are declared by its Board, although such distributions may vary in amount among the classes of the Fund to reflect class-specific expenses.  Such distributions may be in cash, in kind or in additional shares.  In any liquidation of the Acquiring Fund, each common shareholder is entitled to receive his or her pro rata share of the net assets of the Fund, after satisfaction of all outstanding liabilities and expenses of the Fund.  Holders of common shares of the Target Fund are entitled to the payment of distributions when, as and if declared by the Target Fund Board.  The 1940 Act or the terms of any borrowings or preferred shares may limit the payment of distributions to the holders of common shares of the Target Fund.  Upon liquidation of the Target Fund, after paying or adequately providing for the payment of all liabilities of the Fund and the liquidation preference with respect to any outstanding preferred shares, the Trustees may distribute the remaining assets of the Fund among the holders of the common shares.
Both the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund may authorize and issue preferred shares with rights as determined by the Board of Trustees, by action of the Board of Trustees without prior approval of the holders of the common shares.  Shareholders of the Target Fund’s and Acquiring Fund’s common shares have no preemptive right to purchase any preferred shares issued by the Fund.  Preferred share offerings by the Target Fund are subject to the limits imposed by the 1940 Act.  Under the 1940 Act, the Target Fund may not issue preferred shares if, immediately after issuance, the Fund would have asset coverage (as defined in the 1940 Act) of less than 200% (i.e., for every dollar of preferred shares outstanding, the Fund is required to have at least two dollars of assets).
25

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Target Fund or Acquiring Fund, the terms of any preferred shares may entitle the holders of preferred shares to receive a preferential liquidating distribution (expected to equal the original purchase price per share plus the applicable redemption premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid distributions, whether or not earned or declared and on a cumulative basis) before any distribution of assets is made to holders of common shares.  After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distribution to which they are entitled, the preferred shareholders would not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Fund.
The terms of the preferred shares, including their distribution rate, voting rights, liquidation preference and redemption provisions, are determined by the Board (subject to applicable law and the Fund’s Declaration of Trust) at the time of authorization of the preferred shares.
On June 14, 2018, the Target Fund issued in the aggregate 1,250 Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (“VRDP”), with an aggregate liquidation value of $125,000,000, pursuant to an offering exempt from registration under the 1933 Act which were subsequently redeemed on June 7, 2021.
Shareholder Meetings and Rights of Shareholders to Call a Meeting.  While the Target Fund is not required to hold annual shareholders’ meetings under the DSTA, listing rules imposed by the Target Fund’s primary listing exchange, the NYSE, require the Target Fund to hold annual shareholder meetings.  The Acquiring Fund is not required to hold annual shareholders’ meetings under the DSTA or its Declaration of Trust or By-Laws unless required by applicable federal law.  The Acquiring Fund does not intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders.
The governing instruments of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund generally provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called for any purpose determined by the Trustees at any time.  Under the By-Laws of the Target Fund, special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Chair of the Board or by a majority of the Trustees for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law or by the Declaration of Trust.  Shareholders of the Target Fund have no power to call special meetings under the By-Laws of the Target Fund.  The By-Laws of the Acquiring Fund provide that shareholders may only call a special meeting of shareholders upon the written request of shareholders owning shares representing at least the percentage of the total combined votes of all shares of the Acquiring Fund issued and outstanding required by federal law including the 1940 Act provided that (a) such request shall state the purposes of such meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on, and (b) the shareholders requesting such meeting shall have paid to the Acquiring Fund the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing the notice thereof.
Submission of Shareholder Proposals.  The By-Laws of the Target Fund and the Acquiring require that certain conditions be met to present any shareholder proposals at either an annual or, with respect to the Acquiring Fund only, a special meeting of shareholders (with respect to the Target Fund, shareholder proposals and nominees may only be brought at annual meetings), including that notice be given to the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund by a shareholder in advance of a shareholder meeting.  With respect to a special meeting of shareholders, only that business which is to be brought before the meeting pursuant to the Target Fund’s or Acquiring Fund’s notice of meeting may be conducted.  Under the Target Fund’s By-Laws persons nominated by shareholders for election as trustees and any other proposals by shareholders may be properly brought before the annual shareholder meeting only if notice of any such matter to be presented by a shareholder at such meeting of shareholders (the “Shareholder Notice”) is delivered to the Secretary of the Target Fund at the principal executive office of the Target not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year.  If the annual meeting is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before such anniversary date and ends 30 days after such anniversary date (an “Other Annual Meeting
26

Date”), the Shareholder Notice must be given by the later of the close of business on (i) the date 90 days prior to such Other Annual Meeting Date or (ii) the 10th day following the date such Other Annual Meeting Date is first publicly announced or disclosed.  In the event the Target Fund calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more Trustees to the Target Fund Board, a shareholder may nominate a person for election to such position if the Shareholder Notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Target Fund at the principal executive office of the Target Fund not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which the date of the special meeting is publicly announced or disclosed.
Similarly, for the Acquiring Fund, in order for nominations of Trustee candidates or other business to be properly brought before any annual meeting by a shareholder, a Shareholder’s Notice must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Acquiring Fund not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting.  In the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary date or if the Acquiring Fund did not hold an annual meeting in the previous year, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Acquiring Fund.  In the event the Acquiring Fund calls a special meeting of the shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more Trustees to the Board of Trustees, a shareholder may nominate a person for election to such position if the Shareholder’s Notice is delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Acquiring Fund not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting.
Failure to satisfy the requirements of the foregoing advance notice provisions will mean that a shareholder may not be able to present a proposal at a meeting.
Quorum.  For the Target Fund, a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting, which are present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the shareholders’ meeting, except as otherwise required by applicable law or the requirements of the securities exchange on which the Target Fund’s shares are listed for trading.  For the Acquiring Fund, a quorum will exist if shareholders of one-third of the outstanding shares of such Fund entitled to vote are present at the meeting in person or by proxy.
Number of Votes; Aggregate Voting.  The governing instruments of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund provide that each common shareholder is entitled to one vote for each whole share held, and a fractional vote for each fractional share held.  Neither the common shareholders of the Target Fund nor the Acquiring Fund are entitled to cumulative voting.
Right to Vote.  The 1940 Act provides that shareholders of each Fund have the power to vote with respect to certain matters: specifically, for the election of Trustees, the selection of auditors (under certain circumstances), approval of investment advisory agreements and plans of distribution, and amendments to policies, objectives or restrictions deemed to be fundamental.  Shareholders of each Fund also have the right to vote on certain matters affecting the Fund (or with regard to the Acquiring Fund a particular share class thereof) under their respective governing instruments and applicable state law.  For matters on which shareholders of a Fund do not have a right to vote, the Trustees of the Fund may nonetheless determine to submit the matter to shareholders for approval.
27

Target Fund Shareholder Voting Rights.  Shareholders of the Target Fund have the right to vote of the following matters: (1)  elect Trustees, provided that a meeting of shareholders has been called for that purpose; (2) approve any amendments to the Declaration of Trust affecting shareholder indemnification or shareholder voting rights; (3) approve certain transactions like reorganizations, mergers; conversions and consolidations; (4)  approve any amendment relating to declassifying the Board and (5) approve such additional matters as may be required by the 1940 Act, the Declaration of Trust or any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed for trading, or as the Trustees, in their sole discretion, shall determine.
Except at any time preferred shares are outstanding, Target Fund Trustees are elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Target Fund present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at an annual meeting of shareholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof at which Trustees are elected) at which a quorum is present.  An affirmative majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) is the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the shares present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund.  The Board of the Target Fund is divided into three classes.  Generally, Trustees of the Acquiring Fund are elected by a plurality vote (i.e., the nominees receiving the greatest number of votes are elected).
The Target Fund generally requires that except for certain circumstances detailed in the next paragraph all matters other than the election of trustees require an affirmative majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) to approve any matter requiring a vote of the shareholders.  An affirmative majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) is the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the shares present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund.
As discussed in more detail below, the Target Fund, unlike the Acquiring Fund.  has provisions in its governing instruments which could have the effect of limiting, in each case, (i) the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund, (ii) the Fund’s freedom to engage in certain transactions or (iii) the ability of the Fund’s Board of Trustees or shareholders to amend the governing instruments or effectuate changes in the Fund’s management.  These provisions of the governing instruments of the Fund may be regarded as “anti-takeover” provisions.
The Target Fund’s Declaration of Trust requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees followed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to approve, adopt or authorize certain transactions, unless the transaction has been approved by at least 66 2/3% of the Board of Trustees, in which case the affirmative vote of “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund is required.  Transactions subject to this voting requirement include:

Amendments to the Declaration of Trust to de-classify the board or change shareholder voting rights or shareholder indemnification.


The dissolution of the Fund; provided that if the affirmative vote of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Board approves the dissolution, no vote of shareholders shall be required to dissolve the Fund.


A merger or consolidation of the Fund with one or more other entities.
28


The sale, conveyance and transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the another entity.


The reclassification of the Fund from a “closed-end company” to an “open-end company” (as defined in the 1940 Act).


Certain transactions with any person or group (a “Principal Shareholder”) that is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of five percent (5%) or more of the shares of the Target Fund.


The issuance of any securities to any Principal Shareholder for cash (other than pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan).


The sale, lease or exchange of all or any substantial part of the assets of the Fund or any subsidiary of the Fund to any Principal Shareholder (except assets having an aggregate fair market value of less than two percent (2%) of the total assets of the Fund or any subsidiary of the Fund, aggregating for the purpose of such computation all assets sold, leased or exchanged in any series of similar transactions within a twelve-month period).


The sale, lease, or exchange to the Fund or any subsidiary of the Fund, in exchange for securities of the Fund or any of its subsidiary of the Fund, of any assets of any Principal Shareholder (except assets having an aggregate fair market value of less than two percent (2%) of the total assets of the Fund or any of subsidiary of the Fund, aggregating for the purpose of such computation, all assets sold, leased or exchanged in any series of similar transactions within a twelve-month period).

In addition, any additional matter for which the Declaration of Trust or the 1940 Act does not expressly require a vote of shareholders, but with respect to which the Trustees determine the shareholders shall have power to vote, shall require the affirmative vote or consent of holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, unless such matter has been previously approved, adopted or authorized by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the Board of Trustees, in which case the affirmative vote of “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund shall be required.
Under the Declaration of Trust of the Target Fund, all Board action is subject to a Majority Trustee Vote.  “Majority Trustee Vote” means (a) with respect to a vote of the Board, a vote of the majority of the Trustees then in office, and a separate vote of a majority of the Continuing Trustees; and (b) with respect to a vote of a committee or sub-committee of the Board, a vote of the majority of the members of such committee or sub-committee, and a separate vote of a majority of the Continuing Trustees that are members of such committee or sub-committee.  “Continuing Trustee” means a Trustee who either (a) has been a member of the Board for a period of at least thirty-six months (or since the commencement of the Fund’s operations, if less than thirty-six months) or (b) was nominated to serve as a member of the Board by a majority of the Continuing Trustees then members of the Board.  Under the By-Laws of the Target Fund, special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Chair of the Board or by a Majority Trustee Vote for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law or by the Declaration of Trust.
Acquiring Fund Voting Rights.  Shareholders of the Acquiring Fund have the right to vote only for the following matters: (i) the election or removal of Trustees as and to the extent provided in the Declaration of Trust, (ii) with respect to such additional matters relating to Acquiring Fund as may be required by federal law including the 1940 Act, or any Registration Statement and (iii) as the Trustees
29

may otherwise consider necessary or desirable in their sole discretion.  Each class of shares of the Acquiring Fund also has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution and service fees, if any.  The Acquiring Fund Declaration of Trust provides that the Board shall have full power and authority, in its sole discretion and without obtaining any prior authorization or vote of the shareholders, to fix or change such preferences, voting powers, rights, and privileges of any class of Shares of the Fund as the Board may from time to time determine; provided, however, that shareholders shall have the power to vote to approve any amendment to the shareholder indemnification provision that would have the effect of reducing the indemnification provided thereby.  Any such action shall require the affirmative vote or consent of shareholders owning at least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon.  In addition, the removal of one or more Trustees by the shareholders of the Acquiring Fund shall require the affirmative vote or consent of shareholders owning at least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon.
Liability of Shareholders.  Consistent with the DSTA, the Declaration of Trust of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund generally provide that shareholders will not be subject to personal liability for the obligations of the Funds.  Similar statutory or other authority limiting statutory trust shareholder liability does not apply in many other states, however, and a shareholder subject to proceedings in courts in other states, which may not apply Delaware law, may be subject to liability.  To guard against this risk, the governing instruments for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund contain an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts of the Fund and provide for shareholder indemnification out of the Fund’s assets if any shareholder is personally held liable for the obligations of the Fund.
Liability of Trustees and Officers.  Consistent with the 1940 Act, the governing instruments for the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund generally provide that no Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Funds shall be subject to any personal liability in connection with the assets or affairs of the Funds, except for liability arising from his or her own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office (“Disqualifying Conduct”).
Indemnification of the Board.  The Declaration of Trust of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund provides that each of its Trustees, officers, employees and agents (“Covered Persons”) shall be indemnified by the Target Fund or Acquiring Fund to the fullest extent permitted by the DSTA, the By-Laws and applicable laws.  The By-Laws of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund provide that every Covered Person of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund, respectively, shall be indemnified by the Target Fund or Acquiring Fund for expenses actually or reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of any proceeding to which such Covered Person is made a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is a Covered Person.  For proceedings not by or in the right of an Target Fund or Acquiring Fund (i.e., derivative lawsuits), Covered Persons shall be indemnified by the Target Fund or Acquiring Fund against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding to which such Covered Person is made a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is a Covered Person.  The Target Fund and Acquiring Fund may advance to such Covered Persons such expenses in advance of the proceeding’s final disposition.  No Covered Person, however, shall be indemnified for any expenses, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, or other liability or loss arising by reason of his or her Disqualifying Conduct.  Any indemnification required or permitted under the By-Laws (unless ordered by a court) must be made by the Target Fund or Acquiring Fund only as authorized in the specific case upon a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Covered Person is entitled to indemnification because (i) he or she is not liable by reason of Disqualifying Conduct, or (ii) in cases where there is no liability, he or she has not engaged in Disqualifying Conduct.  Such determination must be made by (i) the vote of a majority of a quorum of Trustees who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Target Fund or Acquiring Fund and is not a party to the proceeding; or (ii) if there are no such Trustees, or if such Trustees so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
30

Board Structure.  Each Trust has fifteen trustees, one of whom is an “interested person”, as that term is defined under the 1940 Act.  The members of the Board of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund are identical.  For more information on the Board members, see the proposal- “Election of Trustees.  Unlike the Acquiring Fund, the Target Fund’s Board of Trustees is divided into three classes, with the terms of one class expiring at each annual meeting of shareholders.  At each annual meeting, one class of Trustees is elected to a three-year term.  This provision could delay for up to two years the replacement of a majority of the Board of Trustees.  Under the Target Fund’s governing documents, any amendment to declassify the Target Fund’s Board of Trustees requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees followed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, unless the transaction has been approved by at least 66 2/3% of the Board of Trustees, in which case “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund shall be required.  A Trustee may be removed from office, with or without cause, by written instrument signed by at least 75% of the number of Trustees prior to such removal.
Amendment of Declaration of Trust and By-laws.  Generally, the Trustees of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund have the right to amend, from time to time, the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws for its respective Fund.  Shareholders of the Target Fund have the power to vote on any amendment to the Declaration of Trust (1) as determined by the Trustees in their sole discretion or as required by the 1940 Act, Declaration of Trust, By-Laws or any stock exchange on which the shares are listed; (2) that would reduce their rights to indemnification as shareholders; (3) that would amend their voting powers; (4) that would reclassify the Board or (5) that would amend provisions relating to certain transaction like mergers and consolidations.  Shareholders of the Acquiring Fund have the power to vote on any amendment to the Declaration of Trust (1) as determined by the Trustees in their sole discretion or as required by federal law, including the 1940 Act or any registration statement filed with the SEC; or (2) that would reduce their rights to indemnification as shareholders; or (3) that would amend certain voting rights.
Derivative Actions.  Each Declaration of Trust for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund provide that a shareholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the respective Fund only if several conditions are met.  These conditions include, among other things, a pre-suit demand upon the Board of Trustees and, unless a demand is not required, shareholders who hold (1) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund and (2) 10% or more of the total combined net asset value of all shares issued and outstanding or classes to which such action relates of the Acquiring Fund, must join in the demand for the Board of Trustees to commence an action, and the Board of Trustees must be afforded a reasonable amount of time to consider such shareholder request and to investigate the basis of the claim.
THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION
Summary of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
The terms and conditions under which the Reorganization may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement.  Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below.  A copy of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
With respect to the Reorganization, if shareholders of the Target Fund approve the Agreement and other closing conditions are satisfied, the assets of the Target Fund will be delivered to the Acquiring Fund’s custodian for the account of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Target Fund and delivery by the Acquiring Fund to the Target Fund for further delivery to the holders of record as of the Effective Time (as defined below) of the issued and outstanding Common shares of the Target Fund of a number of Class AX shares of the Acquiring Fund (including, if applicable, fractional shares rounded to the nearest thousandth), having an aggregate NAV equal to the value of the net assets of the Target Fund so transferred, all determined and adjusted as
31

provided in the Agreement.  The value of your account with the Acquiring Fund immediately after the Reorganization will be the same as the value of your account with the Target Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization.
The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund will be required to make representations and warranties in the form of Agreement that are customary in matters such as the Reorganization.
If shareholders approve the Reorganization and if all of the closing conditions set forth in the Agreement are satisfied or waived, consummation of the Reorganization (the “Closing”) is expected to occur on or about October [29], 2021 (the “Closing Date”), as of the later of 7:01 pm Eastern time or the finalization of the Target Fund’s NAV, unless otherwise agreed by the parties (the “Effective Time”).  Following receipt of the requisite shareholder vote in favor of the Reorganization and as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the outstanding shares of the Target Fund will be terminated in accordance with its governing documents and applicable law.
If shareholders of the Target Fund do not approve the Agreement or if the Reorganization does not otherwise close, the Board will consider what additional action to take.  The Agreement may be terminated, and the Reorganization may be abandoned at any time by mutual agreement of the parties.  The Agreement may be amended or modified in a writing signed by the parties to the Agreement.
Board Considerations in Approving the Reorganization
The Board met on April 26-27, 2021 and on May 7, 2021 to review and consider the Agreement and the Reorganization.  An Ad Hoc Committee of the Target Fund Board (the “Ad Hoc Committee”) comprised of certain Trustees of the Target Fund who are not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”) also held separate meetings to consider the Agreement and the Reorganization.  The Independent Trustees have been advised on this matter by independent counsel to the Independent Trustees and by the independent senior officer, an officer of the Target Fund who reports directly to the Independent Trustees.  The Ad Hoc Committee and the Target Fund Board received written materials from Invesco Advisers containing relevant information about the Target Fund, the Acquiring Fund and the proposed Reorganization, including, among other information, a description of the key differences between the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund (including the differences in liquidity for shareholders), and fee and expense information on an actual and pro forma estimated basis.
The Target Fund Board considered the potential benefits and costs of the Reorganization to the Target Fund and its shareholders and considered that the Target Fund would bear all the Reorganization costs.  The Target Fund Board reviewed detailed comparative information on the following topics with respect to the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund: (1) investment objectives, policies, restrictions and principal risks; (2) portfolio management and liquidity requirements; (3) portfolio composition; (4) current expense ratios and expense structures, including contractual investment advisory fees; (5) the expected tax-free nature of the Reorganization for the Target Fund and its shareholders for federal income tax purposes; and (6) the differences in operation between a traditional closed-end fund like the Target Fund and an interval fund like the Acquiring Fund.
Among other matters, the Target Fund Board noted that: (1) the investment objectives of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are identical; and (2) the principal investment strategies and related risks of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are similar except that the Target Fund is diversified, while the Acquiring Fund is non-diversified.  The Target Fund Board also noted that the Acquiring Fund initially upon launch expects to obtain financial leverage through a revolving credit facility instead of through a revolving credit facility and preferred shares, that the costs associated with the credit facility are expected to be lower than the costs associated with preferred shares, and that the Acquiring Fund is initially expected to maintain a lower leverage percentage than the Target Fund.  The Target Fund Board noted that these leverage differences are expected to result in the estimated total expense ratio expected to be incurred by the Acquiring Fund being lower than that of the Target Fund (common shares including, the Class AX Shares).  The Target Fund Board also noted the potential that the lower leverage percentage and higher liquidity parameters could adversely impact the Acquiring Fund’s yield or total returns.
The Target Fund Board also considered the benefits to the Target Fund’s shareholders of having: (1) the ability to redeem their shares at quarterly intervals at the net asset value per share instead of selling their shares on any business day in secondary market transactions at the market price, which could be lower than the net asset value per share; and (2) the ability to purchase additional shares from the Acquiring Fund at the net asset value per share.
32

The Target Fund Board considered the Target Fund’s history with activist shareholders and that, based on information provided by management, interval funds historically have been less likely to be targeted by activist shareholders than traditional closed-end funds and therefore present less risk of portfolio or other disruption from activist shareholders.
The Target Fund Board also considered the terms of the Standstill Agreement with Saba, including but not limited to the obligations related to the Tender Offer and quarterly repurchase offers.  Invesco Advisers provided, and the Target Fund Board considered, information about the estimated tax and expense impacts of the Tender Offer.  The Target Fund Board also considered Invesco Adviser’s representation that the Target Fund will have sufficient liquidity to fund the Tender Offer and that the Acquiring Fund will have sufficient liquidity to fund the subsequent quarterly repurchase offers.
Based upon the information received by the Target Fund Board, including the information and considerations described above but without identifying any single factor as all-important or controlling, the Board concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Fund, and that no dilution of value would result to the shareholders of the Target Fund from the Reorganization.  Consequently, the Target Fund Board approved the Agreement and the Reorganization.
Similarly, the Board of Trustees of the Acquiring Fund concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund and approved the Agreement and the Reorganization.
Costs of the Reorganization
The total cost of the Reorganization to be paid by the Target Fund is estimated to be $175,000.  The costs of the Reorganization include legal counsel fees, independent accountant fees, expenses related to the printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and fees associated with the proxy solicitation but do not include any portfolio transaction costs arising from the Reorganization.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REORGANIZATION
The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization and is based upon the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as  amended (the “Code”), existing U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder, current administrative rulings of the IRS and published judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.  These considerations are general in nature and individual shareholders should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local, and foreign tax considerations applicable to them and their individual circumstances.  These same considerations generally do not apply to shareholders who hold their shares in a tax-advantaged account, such as an individual retirement account (IRA) or qualified retirement plan.
The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code.  The principal federal income tax consequences that are expected to result from the Reorganization are as follows:
•  no gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund or the shareholders of the Target Fund as a direct result of the Reorganization;
•  no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund as a direct result of the Reorganization;
33

•  the basis of the assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the basis of these assets in the hands of the Target Fund immediately before the Reorganization;
•  the holding period of the assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will include the period during which such assets were held by the Target Fund;
•  the aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Acquiring Fund to be received by a shareholder of the Target Fund as part of the Reorganization will be the same as the shareholder’s aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Target Fund; and
•  the holding period of the shares of the Acquiring Fund received by a shareholder of the Target Fund as part of the Reorganization will include the period that a shareholder held the shares of the Target Fund (provided that such shares of the Target Fund are capital assets in the hands of such shareholder as of the closing).
Neither of the Funds has requested nor will request an advance ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization.  As a condition to closing, the Funds anticipate receiving an opinion from Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP as to the foregoing federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, which opinion will be conditioned upon, among other things, the accuracy, as of the Closing Date, of certain representations of each Fund upon which Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP will rely in rendering its opinion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion will be expressed as to the effect of the Reorganization on the Target Fund, the Acquiring Fund, or any Target Fund shareholder with respect to any asset as to which unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting.  A copy of the opinion will be filed with the SEC and will be available for public inspection after the Closing Date of the Reorganization.  See “INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS.”
Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the IRS or the courts.  If the Reorganization is consummated but the IRS or the courts were to determine that the Reorganization did not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code, and thus was taxable, the Target Fund would recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to the Acquiring Fund, and each shareholder of the Target Fund that held shares in a taxable account would recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between its tax basis in its Target Fund shares and the fair market value of the shares of the Acquiring Fund it received.
General Limitation on Capital Losses.  Assuming the Reorganization qualifies as a tax-free reorganization as expected, the Acquiring Fund will succeed to the tax attributes of the Target Fund upon the closing of the Reorganization, including any capital loss carryovers that could have been used by the Target Fund to offset its future realized capital gains, if any, for federal income tax purposes.  The capital loss carryovers of the Target Fund will be available to offset future gains recognized by the combined Fund.  Capital losses of a Fund may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future capital gains.  If, as is anticipated, at the time of the closing of the Reorganizations, the Acquiring Fund has either no assets or de minimis assets incident to its organization, there will be no change of ownership of the Acquiring Fund as a result of the Reorganizations.  Thus, a reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund is not expected to result in any limitation on the use by the Acquiring Fund of the Target Fund’s capital loss carryovers, if any.  However, the capital losses of the Acquiring Fund, as the successor in interest to the Target Fund, may subsequently become subject to an annual limitation as a result of sales of the Acquiring Fund shares or other reorganization transactions in which the Acquiring Fund might engage post-Reorganization.  If the Reorganization were to end the tax year of the Target Fund, it would accelerate distributions to shareholders from the Target Fund for its short tax year ending on the Closing Date.  Such distributions would be taxable and would include any capital gains resulting from portfolio
34

turnover prior to the Reorganization.  If determined necessary by the Funds, the Target Fund will declare a distribution to shareholders, which together with all previous distributions, will have the effect of distributing to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), net tax-exempt income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, through the closing of the Reorganization.
The foregoing description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganizations applies generally to shareholders who are not tax-exempt investors and does not take into account your particular facts and circumstances.  Consult your own tax adviser about the effect of state, local, foreign, and other tax laws because this discussion only relates to U.S. federal income tax laws.
Accounting Treatment

The Reorganization will be accounted for on a tax-free combined basis.  Accordingly, the book cost basis to the Acquiring Fund of the assets of the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the book cost basis of such assets to the Target Fund.  The Acquiring Fund will continue the accounting records of the Target Fund and, as a result, the accounting books and records of the Target Fund will become the accounting books and records of the Acquiring Fund.
 
THE TARGET FUND BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE REORGANIZATION. 
35

PROPOSAL 2:  ELECTION OF TRUSTEES BY THE TARGET FUND
At the Meeting, holders of Common Shares of the Target Fund will vote with respect to the election of the following five Nominees as Trustees: Jack M. Fields, Martin L. Flanagan, Elizabeth Krentzman, Robert C. Troccoli and James D. Vaughn.
All Nominees have consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and have agreed to serve if elected.
If elected, each Trustee will serve until the later of the Target Fund’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2024 or until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified or his or her earlier death, incapacitation, resignation, retirement or removal.  As in the past, only one class of Trustees is being submitted to shareholders of the Target Fund for election at the Meeting.  The Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Target Fund’s Declaration of Trust”) of the Target Fund provides that the Board shall be divided into three classes.  For the Target Fund, the Trustees of only one class are elected at each annual meeting, so that the regular term of only one class of Trustees will expire annually and any particular Trustee stands for election only once in each three-year period.  The foregoing is subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, applicable Delaware state law and the Target Fund’s Declaration of Trust and Bylaws.
In the case of any vacancy on the Board, the Target Fund’s Declaration of Trust provides that the remaining Trustees may fill such vacancy by appointing a replacement to serve for the remainder of the term or reduce the size of the Board.
The following table indicates all current Trustees in each such class and the period for which each class currently serves:

Class I1

The Target Fund Board’s Pre-Approval Of Audit And Non-Audit Services Policies And Procedures are attached as Exhibit I.
THE TARGET FUND BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR ALL” OF THE NOMINEES.

VOTING INFORMATION
Proxy Statement/Prospectus
We are sending you this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the enclosed proxy card because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournments of the Meeting.  This Proxy Statement/Prospectus gives you information about the business to be conducted at the Meeting.  Target Fund shareholders may vote by virtually attending the Meeting and following the instructions below.  You do not need to attend the Meeting to vote, however.  Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card or vote by telephone or through a website established for that purpose.
This Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the enclosed Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the enclosed proxy card are expected to be mailed on or about July __, 2021 to all shareholders entitled to vote.  Shareholders of record of the Target Fund as of the close of business on June 7, 2021 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting.  The number of outstanding shares of Common Shares of the Target Fund on June 7, 2021 are _____________.  Each share is entitled to one vote for each full share held, and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share held.
Proxies will have the authority to vote and act on behalf of shareholders at any adjournment of the Meeting.  If a proxy is authorized to vote for a shareholder, the shareholder may revoke the authorization at any time before it is exercised by sending in another proxy card with a later date or by notifying the Secretary of the Target Fund in writing at the address of the Target Fund set forth on the cover page of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus before the Meeting that the shareholder has revoked its proxy.  In addition, although merely attending the Meeting will not revoke your proxy, if a shareholder is present at the Meeting, the shareholder may withdraw the proxy and vote in person.  However, if your shares are held through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary you will need to obtain a “legal proxy” from them in order to vote your shares at the Meeting.
All Common Shares represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon.  There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of Trustees or any other matter.
Quorum Requirement and Adjournment
A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid shareholder meeting of the Target Fund.  For the Target Fund, a quorum will exist if shareholders representing majority of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund entitled to vote are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy.
Proxies received prior to the Meeting on which no vote is indicated will be voted “FOR” the Proposals.  Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as shares present at the Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum.  Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a “no” vote for purposes of obtaining the requisite approvals of the Proposals because the Proposals each require the affirmative vote of a percentage of either the shares present at the Meeting or the outstanding shares of the Target Fund..  A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker has not received voting instructions from a shareholder
45

and is barred from voting the shares without shareholder instructions because the proposal is non-routine.  Shareholders are urged to provide instructions to their broker or nominee to ensure that their votes may be counted.
If a quorum is not present at the Meeting or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve a proposal are not received, the person(s) presiding over the Meeting or the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to allow for further solicitation of votes.  The vote of the holders of one-third of the Common Shares cast, or the chair of the Meeting in his or her discretion, will have the power to adjourn the Meeting with regard to a particular proposal scheduled to be voted on at the Meeting or to adjourn the Meeting entirely from time to time without notice.
Provided a quorum is present, any business may be transacted at such adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the Meeting as originally notified.  A meeting may be adjourned from time to time without further notice to shareholders to a date not more than 120 days after the original meeting date for such meeting.  In voting for the adjournment, the persons named as proxies may vote their proxies in favor of one or more adjournments of the Meeting, or the chair of the Meeting may call an adjournment, provided such persons determine that such adjournment is reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders and the Funds, based on a consideration of such factors as they may deem relevant.
Vote Necessary to Approve the Agreement
The Target Fund Board has unanimously approved the Agreement, subject to shareholder approval.  Shareholder approval of the Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the “majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act)” which means the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the shares present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund.  Abstentions are counted as present but are not considered votes cast at the Meeting.
Vote Necessary to Elect Trustees
The Target Fund Board has unanimously approved the proposed nominees for election as Trustees, subject to shareholder approval.  Approval of the election of each of the Nominees to the Target Fund Board the affirmative vote of the “majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act)” which means the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the shares present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund.
Proxy Solicitation
The Target Fund has engaged the services of Computershare, Inc. (“Solicitor”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting.  The Solicitor’s costs are $___________.  Proxies are expected to be solicited principally by mail, but the Target Fund or the Solicitor may also solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile or personal interview.  The Target Fund’s officers may also solicit proxies but will not receive any additional or special compensation for any such solicitation.
Under the agreement with the Solicitor, the Solicitor will be paid a project management fee as well as telephone solicitation expenses incurred for reminder calls, outbound telephone voting, confirmation of telephone votes, inbound telephone contact, obtaining shareholders’ telephone numbers, and providing additional materials upon shareholder request.  The agreement also provides that the
46

Solicitor shall be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.
Other Meeting Matters
Management is not aware of any matters to be presented at the Meeting other than as is discussed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  Under the Target Fund’s By-Laws, business transacted at an annual meeting such as this Meeting shall be limited to (i) the purpose stated in the notice; (ii) adjournment of the meeting with regard to the stated purpose; and (iii) and such other matters as are permitted to be presented at the meeting in accordance with the Declaration of Trust.  If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect thereto in accordance with their best judgment.
Share Ownership by Large Shareholders, Management and Trustees
A list of the name, address and percent ownership of each person who, as of June 7, 2021, to the knowledge of the Target Fund owned 5% or more of the outstanding shares of a class of the Target Fund can be found at Exhibit B.  Information regarding the ownership of shares of the Target Fund by the Trustees and executive officers of the Target Fund can also be found at Exhibits B.
As of the date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, there were no shares of the Acquiring Fund outstanding.
Shareholder Proposals
Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders for the Target Fund pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) had to be received by the Fund’s Secretary at the Fund’s principal executive offices by May 9, 2021.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if notice of a shareholder proposal is received after May 9, 2021, the persons named as proxies may vote proxies held by them in their discretion on such proposal.  If the Reorganization is completed, the Target Fund will not need to hold an annual meeting in 2022.
The Acquiring Fund does not generally hold annual meetings of shareholders.  A shareholder desiring to submit a proposal intended to be presented at any meeting of shareholders of the Acquiring should send the proposal to the Acquiring Fund at the Acquiring  Fund’s principal offices so that it is received within a reasonable time before the proxy materials are printed and mailed.  The mere submission of a proposal by a shareholder does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement because compliance with certain rules under the federal securities laws is required before inclusion of the proposal is required.  Also, the submission does not mean that the proposal will be presented at a future meeting.  For a shareholder proposal to be considered at a future shareholder meeting, it must be a proper matter for consideration under applicable law.
In the event that the Reorganization is not approved and the Target Fund continues to operate, Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the year 2022 annual meeting of shareholders for a Fund pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received by the Target Fund’s Secretary at the Target Fund’s principal executive offices by February 21, 2022, in order to be considered for inclusion in the Target Fund’s proxy statement and proxy card relating to that meeting, which is anticipated to be held on August 6, 2022.  Timely submission of a proposal does not necessarily mean that such proposal will be included in the Target Fund’s proxy statement.  If a shareholder wishes to make a proposal at the year 2022 annual meeting of shareholders without having the proposal included in the Target Fund’s proxy statement, then such proposal must be received by the Target Fund’s Secretary at the
47

Target Fund’s principal executive offices not earlier than April 8, 2022 and not later than May 8, 2022.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if notice of a shareholder proposal is received after May 8, 2022, the persons named as proxies may vote proxies held by them in their discretion on such proposal.  Any shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal for consideration at an annual meeting of such shareholder’s Fund should send such proposal to the respective Fund’s Secretary at 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77046, Attn: Secretary.  Additional requirements regarding shareholder proposals are included in the Fund’s Bylaws, which are available upon request.
Shareholder Communications
Shareholders may send communications to the Fund’s Board.  Shareholders should send communications intended for a Board or for a Trustee by addressing the communication directly to the Board or individual Trustee and/or otherwise clearly indicating that the communication is for the Board or individual Trustee and by sending the communication to either the office of the Secretary of the applicable Fund or directly to such Trustee at the address specified for such Trustee above.  Other shareholder communications received by any Fund not directly addressed and sent to the Board will be reviewed and generally responded to by management, and will be forwarded to the Board only at management’s discretion based on the matters contained therein.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act require each of the Funds’ Trustees, officers, and investment advisers, affiliated persons of the investment advisers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of a Fund’s equity securities to file forms with the SEC and the Exchanges reporting their affiliation with the Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of such securities.  These persons and entities are required by SEC regulations to furnish such Fund with copies of all such forms they file.  Based on a review of these forms furnished to the Target Fund, the Target Fund believes that during its last fiscal year, its Trustees/Directors, its officers, the Adviser and affiliated persons of the Adviser complied with the applicable filing requirements.  The Acquiring Fund is newly established and has not yet commenced operations; accordingly, no such filings were required or have occurred with respect to that Fund.
Other Meeting Matters
Management of the Target Fund does not intend to present, and does not have reason to believe that others will present, any other items of business at the Meeting.  The Target Fund knows of no business other than the proposals described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus that will, or are proposed to, be presented for consideration at the Meeting.  If any other matters are properly presented, the persons named on the enclosed proxy cards shall vote proxies in accordance with their best judgment.
Where To Find Additional Information

Common Shares of the Target Fund trade at a market price that is determined by current supply and demand conditions.  The market price of a Fund’s Common Shares may or may not be the same as the Fund’s NAV per share— that is, the value of the portfolio securities owned by the Fund less its liabilities.  When the market price of a Fund’s Common Shares exceeds its NAV per share, they are said to be “trading at a premium.”  When the market price of a Fund’s Common Shares is lower than its NAV per share, they are said to be “trading at a discount.”  It is very difficult to identify all of the factors that may cause a closed-end fund’s common shares to trade at a discount.  It is often difficult to reduce or eliminate a closed-end fund’s discount over the long term.  Some short-term measures, such as share repurchases and tender offers, tend to reduce a closed-end fund’s assets (and thereby potentially increase expense ratios), but do not typically have a long-term effect on the discount.  Other measures, such as managed dividend programs, may not have a consistent long-term effect on discounts.
Dissenters’ Rights
If the Reorganization is approved at the Meeting, Target Fund shareholders will not have the right to dissent and obtain payment of the fair value of their shares.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
These financial highlight tables are intended to help you understand the Target Fund’s financial performance for the past five fiscal years and are included in the Target Fund’s annual shareholder report which is incorporated by reference into the SAI.  The information has been audited by __________, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request.
The financial highlights for the Acquiring Fund are unavailable as it is newly created and does not yet have financial history.  Upon the closing of the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund expects to adopt the financial statements of the Target Fund.

Exhibit A-Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is adopted as of this [____] day of [____], 2021 by and among:  (i) Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund, a registered closed-end investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust (the “Target Fund”); and (ii) a newly created Invesco closed-end registered investment company, Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund, also organized as a Delaware statutory trust (the “Acquiring Fund”).  Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“IAI”) joins this Agreement solely for purposes of Sections 1.1(c), 5.1(a), 9, 12, 13, and 14.
WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund to enter into a transaction pursuant to which: (i) the Acquiring Fund will acquire the Assets and Liabilities (as each such term is defined in Section 1.1) of the Target Fund in exchange for Class AX shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”) of equal value to the net assets of the Target Fund, and (ii) the Target Fund will distribute such Acquiring Fund Shares to shareholders of the Target Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest (“Target Fund Common Shares”), in connection with the liquidation of the Target Fund, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement (the “Reorganization”).  The Acquiring Fund is, and will be immediately prior to Closing (as defined in Section 3.1), a shell fund, without assets or liabilities, created solely for the purpose of acquiring the Assets and Liabilities (each as defined in Section 1.1) of the Target Fund;
WHEREAS, each of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund is a closed-end, registered investment company of the management type; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization and liquidation with respect to the Reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE REORGANIZATION
1.1. Provided that all conditions precedent to the Reorganization set forth herein have been satisfied or, to the extent legally permissible, waived as of the Closing Time (as defined in Section 3.1), and based on the representations and warranties each party provides to the other, the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund agree to take the following steps with respect to the Reorganization:
(a) The Target Fund shall transfer all of its Assets, as defined and set forth in Section 1.1(b), to the Acquiring Fund, and the Acquiring Fund in exchange therefor shall assume the Liabilities, as defined and set forth in Section 1.1(c), and deliver to the Target
A-1

Fund the number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares determined in the manner set forth in Section 2.
(b) The assets of the Target Fund to be transferred to the Acquiring Fund shall consist of all assets and property, including, without limitation, all rights, cash, securities, commodities and futures interests, forwards, swaps and other financial instruments, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued and including, without limitation, any interest in pending or future legal claims in connection with past or present portfolio holdings, whether in the form of class action claims, opt-out or other direct litigation claims, or regulator or government-established investor recovery fund claims, and any and all resulting recoveries), receivables (including dividends, interest, principal, subscriptions and other receivables), goodwill and other intangible property, and choses in action, copies of all books and records belonging to the Target Fund (including all books and records required to be maintained under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)), any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Target Fund as of the Closing Time, and all interests, rights, privileges and powers, other than the Target Fund’s rights under this Agreement on the Closing Date as defined in Section 3.1 (collectively, “Assets”), but excluding any assets set forth in Schedule 1.1(b) (collectively, “Excluded Assets”).  For the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Assets shall remain the property of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund shall have no rights thereunder.
(c) The Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the liabilities of the Target Fund, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Closing Date, except for the Target Fund’s Excluded Liabilities (as defined below), if any, pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Liabilities”).  If prior to the Closing Date the Acquiring Fund identifies a liability that the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund mutually agree should not be assumed by the Acquiring Fund, such liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund at Closing and attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1.1(c) (the “Excluded Liabilities”).  The Assets minus the Liabilities of the Target Fund shall be referred to herein as the Target Fund’s “Net Assets.”
(d) As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Target Fund will distribute to shareholders of record of the Target Fund Common Shares (“Target Fund Shareholders”) Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Target Fund pursuant to Section 1.1(a), on a pro rata basis, and without further notice the outstanding Target Fund Common Shares will be redeemed and cancelled as permitted by its Governing Documents (as defined in Section 4.1(a)) and applicable law, and the Target Fund will as promptly as practicable completely liquidate, deregister, and dissolve as permitted by its Governing Documents and applicable law.  Such distribution to the Target Fund Shareholders and liquidation of  the Target Fund will be accomplished, with respect to the Target Fund Common Shares, by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Target Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Target Fund Shareholders.  The aggregate net asset value of the Acquiring Fund’s shares to be so
A-2

credited to the Target Fund Shareholders shall be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Target Fund Common Shares owned by the Target Fund Shareholders on the Closing Date in accordance with the Valuation Time in Section 2.1(a).  At the Closing, any outstanding certificates representing Target Fund Common Shares will be cancelled.  The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing shares in connection with such exchange, irrespective of whether Target Fund Shareholders hold their Target Fund Common Shares in certificated form.
(e) Ownership of the Acquiring Fund’s shares will be shown on its books, as such are maintained by the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent.
(f) Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of the Acquiring Fund’s shares in a name other than the registered holder of the Target Fund’s shares on the books and records of the Target Fund as of that time shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom the Acquiring Fund’s shares are to be issued and transferred.
(g) Immediately after the Closing Time, the share transfer books relating to the Target Fund shall be closed and no transfer of shares shall thereafter be made on such books.
(h) Any reporting obligation, including but not limited to, the filing of any Form N-CSR,  Form N-PORT, Form N-CEN Form N-Q, Form N-PX, or federal, state or local tax returns, or other responsibility of the Target Fund  is and shall remain the Target Fund’s responsibility.
2.
VALUATION
2.1. With respect to the Reorganization:
(a) The value of the Target Fund’s Assets shall be the value of such Assets computed as of immediately after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which shall reflect the declaration of any dividends, on the Closing Date, using the valuation methodologies set forth in the then-current prospectus for the Target Fund and the valuation procedures established by the Target Fund’s board of trustees (“Valuation Time”).  On the Closing Date, the Target Fund shall record the value of the Assets, as valued pursuant to this Section 2.1(a), on a valuation report (the “Valuation Report”) and deliver a copy of the Valuation Report to the Acquiring Fund by 7:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Closing Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
(b) The net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization shall be the net asset value per share of the Target Fund Common Shares as of the close of business on the Closing Date.
(c) The number of Acquiring Fund Shares (including fractional shares, if any, rounded to the nearest thousandth) issued in exchange for the Target Fund’s Net Assets shall equal the number of Target Fund Common Shares outstanding as of the Closing Date.  All Acquiring Fund Shares delivered to the Target Fund will be delivered at net
A-3

asset value without the imposition of a sales load, commission, transaction fee or other similar fee.
(d) All computations of value shall be made by the Target Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s designated recordkeeping agent using the valuation procedures described in this Section 2.
3.
CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE
3.1. The Reorganization shall close on [October 29, 2021], or such other date as the parties may agree (the “Closing Date”).  All acts taking place at the closing of the Reorganization (“Closing”) shall, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in this Agreement, be deemed to take place simultaneously as of the later of 7:01 p.m. Eastern time or the finalization of the Target Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s net asset value on the Closing Date of the Reorganization, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Time”).  The Closing of the Reorganization shall be held in person, by facsimile, email, videoconference or any other communication means as the parties may reasonably agree.
3.2. With respect to the Reorganization:
(a) The Target Fund’s portfolio securities, investments or other assets that are represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be transferred, presented and delivered by the Target Fund as of the Closing Time or as soon as practicable thereafter to the Acquiring Fund by directing that the Target Fund’s custodian (the “Custodian”) transfer and deliver them from the account of the Target Fund (the “Target Account”) to an account of the Acquiring Fund at the Custodian (the “Acquiring Account”) duly endorsed in proper form for transfer and in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof.  The Target Fund shall direct the Custodian to transfer and deliver to the Acquiring Account as of the Closing Date by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of the Custodian and any securities depository (as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the 1940 Act), in which the Assets are deposited, the Target Fund’s portfolio securities and instruments so held.  The cash to be transferred by the Target Fund shall be transferred from the Target Account to the Acquiring Account by wire transfer of federal funds or other appropriate means on the Closing Date.  If the Target Fund is unable to make such delivery on the Closing Date in the manner contemplated by this Section for the reason that any of such securities or other investments purchased prior to the Closing Date have not yet been delivered to the Target Fund or its broker, then the Acquiring Fund may, in its sole discretion, waive the delivery requirements of this Section with respect to said undelivered securities or other investments if the Target Fund has, by or on the Closing Date, delivered to the Acquiring Fund or its Custodian executed copies of an agreement of assignment and escrow and due bills executed on behalf of said broker or brokers, together with such other documents as may be required by the Acquiring Fund or its Custodian, such as brokers’ confirmation slips.
(b) The Target Fund shall direct the Custodian to deliver, at the Closing or as soon as practicable thereafter, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (i) except as permitted by Section 3.2(a), the Assets have been delivered in proper form to the
A-4

Acquiring Fund no later than the Closing Time on the Closing Date, and (ii) all necessary Taxes (as defined below) in connection with the delivery of the Assets, including all applicable federal, state and foreign stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made.  At the Closing, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Acquiring Fund will cause the Custodian to deliver a certificate of an authorized officer acknowledging that the Acquiring Fund has received the Target Fund portfolio securities, cash and any other Assets as of the final settlement date for such transfers.
(c) At such time prior to the Closing Date as the parties mutually agree, the Target Fund shall instruct its transfer agent (the “Target Transfer Agent”) to provide instructions and related information to the Acquiring Fund or its transfer agent with respect to the Target Fund Shareholders, including names, addresses, dividend reinvestment elections, if any, and tax withholding status of the Target Fund Shareholders as of the date agreed upon (such information to be updated as of the Closing Date, as necessary).  The Acquiring Fund and its transfer agent shall have no obligation to inquire as to the validity, propriety or correctness of any such instruction, information or documentation, but shall, in each case, assume that such instruction, information or documentation is valid, proper, correct and complete.
(d) The Target Fund shall direct the Target Transfer Agent to deliver to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records, as provided to the Acquiring Fund, contain the names and addresses of the Target Fund Shareholders and the number of outstanding shares owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing.  At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale, checks, assignments, certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.
(e) In the event that on the Closing Date (i) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Target Fund (each, an “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (ii) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of the board of trustees of the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund, or the authorized officers of such entities, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund, respectively, is impossible or impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored or such later dates as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each party.
4.

A-6

the Target Fund’s derivative positions, including without limitation as collateral for swap positions and as margin for futures positions, subject to such segregation and liens that apply to such Assets);
(g) Except as otherwise disclosed to and accepted, by or on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, the Target Fund is not engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not result, in (i) a material violation of the Target Fund’s Governing Documents or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which the Target Fund is a party or by which it is bound, or (ii) the acceleration of any obligation, or the imposition of any lien, encumbrance, penalty or additional fee under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or decree to which the Target Fund is a party or by which it is bound;

(i) The financial statements of the Target Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year have been audited by the independent registered public accounting firm appointed by the Target Fund’s board of trustees.  To the knowledge of the Target Fund, such statements, as well as the unaudited, semi-annual financial statements for the semi-annual period next succeeding the Target Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, if any, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) consistently applied, and such statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Target Fund as of such date in accordance with GAAP, and there are no known contingent liabilities of the Target Fund required to be reflected on a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP as of such date not disclosed therein;
(j) Since the last day of the Target Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, there has not been any material adverse change in the Target Fund’s financial condition, assets, liabilities or business, other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business;
(k) On the Closing Date, all federal and other material Tax Returns (as defined below) of the Target Fund required by law to have been filed by such date (taking into account any extensions) shall have been filed and are or will be true, correct and complete in all material respects, and all Taxes (as defined below) shown as due or claimed to be due by any government entity shall have been paid or provision has been made for the payment thereof.  To the Target Fund’s knowledge:  no such Tax Return is currently under audit and no such audit has been threatened by any federal, state, local or foreign Tax authority; no assessment has been asserted or proposed with respect to such Tax Returns; there are no levies, liens or other encumbrances on the Target Fund or its
A-7

(l) The Target Fund has elected to be a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and is a fund, as defined in Section 851(g)(2) of the Code, that is treated as a separate corporation under Section 851(g)(1) of the Code.  The Target Fund  has qualified for treatment as a regulated investment company for each taxable year since inception that has ended prior to the Closing Date and will have satisfied the requirements of Part I of Subchapter M of the Code to maintain such qualification for the period beginning on the first day of its current taxable year and ending on the Closing Date.  The Target Fund has been eligible to compute its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code.  The Target Fund has paid or made provision for the payment of any tax liability under Sections 852 or 4982 of the Code for any period ended on before the Closing Date.  The Target Fund has no earnings or profits accumulated with respect to any taxable year in which the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code did not apply to it.  The Target Fund does not own any “converted property” (as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-7T(a)(2)) that is subject to the rules of Section 1374 of the Code as a consequence of the application of Section 337(d)(1) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder;
(m) All issued and outstanding Target Fund Common Shares are, and on the Closing Date will be, duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable by the Target Fund, and are not, and on the Closing Date will not be, subject to preemptive or objecting shareholder rights [and all issued and outstanding Target Fund Preferred Shares are duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable by the Target Fund, and are not subject to preemptive or objecting shareholder
A-8

(n) The Target Fund has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transaction contemplated herein.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, if any, on the part of the board of trustees of the Target Fund and, subject to the approval of the Target Fund Shareholders (only with respect to any obligations under this Agreement that are contingent on such shareholder approval) and the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the other parties hereto, this Agreement will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Target Fund, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles;

FURTHER CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF THE ACQUIRING FUND AND THE TARGET FUND
With respect to the Reorganization, if any of the conditions set forth below have not been satisfied on or before the Closing Date with respect to the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund, the Acquiring Fund or Target Fund, respectively, shall, at its option, not be required to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement:
8.1. The Agreement shall have been approved by the requisite vote of the holders of the outstanding Target Fund Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Target Fund’s Governing Documents, applicable law of the State of Delaware, and the 1940 Act, and certified copies of the voting record from the proxy solicitor evidencing such approval shall have been delivered to the Acquiring Fund.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Target Fund nor the Acquiring Fund may waive the conditions set forth in this Section 8.1;
A-20

8.2. This Agreement and transaction contemplated herein shall have been approved by the board of trustees of the Target Fund and the board of trustees of the Acquiring Fund and each party shall have delivered to the other party a copy of the resolutions approving this Agreement and the transaction contemplated in connection herewith adopted by such party’s board of trustees, certified by the secretary or equivalent officer.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Target Fund nor the Acquiring Fund may waive the conditions set forth in this Section 8.2;
8.3. On the Closing Date, no action, suit or other proceeding shall be pending or, to the Target Fund’s or the Acquiring Fund’s knowledge, threatened before any court or governmental agency in which it is sought to restrain or prohibit, or obtain damages or other relief in connection with, this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein;
8.4. All consents of other parties and all other consents, orders and permits of federal, state and local regulatory authorities deemed necessary by the Acquiring Fund or Target Fund to permit consummation, in all material respects, of the transaction contemplated hereby shall have been obtained, except where failure to obtain any such consent, order or permit would not result in a material adverse effect on the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund, provided that either party hereto may for itself waive any of such conditions;
8.5. The N-14 Registration Statement shall have become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop orders suspending the effectiveness thereof shall have been issued and, to the best knowledge of the parties hereto, no investigation or proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or be pending, threatened or contemplated under the 1933 Act; and

13.
AMENDMENTS
This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in a writing signed by the parties hereto to be bound by such Amendment; provided, however, that following the meeting of the Target Fund Shareholders called pursuant to Section 5.1(c) of this Agreement, no such amendment may have the effect of changing the provisions for determining the number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued to the Target Fund Shareholders under this Agreement to the detriment of such shareholders without their further approval.

Tax Opinions

With respect to the Reorganization:
(i) The acquisition by the Acquiring Fund of all of the Assets of the Target Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Liabilities of the Target Fund, followed by the distribution by the Target Fund to its shareholders of the Acquiring Fund Shares in complete liquidation of the Target Fund, will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund each will be a “party to the reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.
(ii) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund upon the transfer of all of its Assets to, and assumption of its Liabilities by, the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for the Acquiring Fund Shares pursuant to Section 361(a) and Section 357(a) of the Code.
(iii) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt by it of all of the Assets of the Target Fund in exchange solely for the assumption of the Liabilities of the Target Fund and issuance of the Acquiring Fund Shares pursuant to Section 1032(a) of the Code.
(iv) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund upon the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares by the Target Fund to its shareholders in complete liquidation of the Target Fund pursuant to Section 361(c)(1) of the Code.
(v) The tax basis of the Assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the tax basis of such Assets in the hands of the Target Fund immediately prior to the transfer pursuant to Section 362(b) of the Code.
(vi) The holding periods of the Assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will include the periods during which such Assets were held by the Target Fund pursuant to Section 1223(2) of the Code.
(vii) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund Shareholders upon the exchange of all of their Target Fund Common Shares for the Acquiring Fund Shares (including fractional shares to which they may be entitled) pursuant to Section 354(a) of the Code.
(viii) The aggregate tax basis of the Acquiring Fund Shares to be received by each shareholder of the Target Fund (including fractional shares to which they may be entitled) will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of Target Fund Common Shares exchanged therefor pursuant to Section 358(a)(1) of the Code.
(ix) The holding period of Acquiring Fund Shares received by a shareholder of the Target Fund (including fractional shares to which they may be entitled) will include the holding period of the Target Fund Common Shares exchanged therefor, provided that the shareholder held Target Fund Common Shares as a capital asset on the date of the exchange pursuant to Section 1223(1) of the Code.
(x) For purposes of Section 381 of the Code, the Acquiring Fund will succeed to and take into account, as of the date of the transfer as defined in Section 1.381(b)-1(b) of the Income Tax Regulations, the items of Target Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Code as if there had been no Reorganization, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and, if applicable, the Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder.
This opinion does not address the tax consequences of the Reorganization to contracts or securities on which gain or loss is recognized upon the transfer of an asset regardless of whether such transfer would otherwise be a nonrecognition transaction under the Code.

Exhibit B- Ownership of Fund Shares and Fund Affiliates

Ownership of Target Fund Shares.  As of the June 7, 2021 Record Date, according to disclosure publicly filed with the SEC, the following record owners of Common Shares of the Target Fund held, directly or beneficially, more than 5% of the voting securities of a class of securities of the Target Fund.  For purposes of the 1940 Act, any person who owns, directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the voting securities of a company is presumed to “control” such company.  Accordingly, to the extent that a shareholder is identified in the following table as the beneficial owner and holder of record of more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the Target Fund and has voting and/or investment power, the shareholder may be presumed to control the Target Fund.

As of June 7, 2021, all Trustees and officers of the Target Fund, as a group, owned beneficially (as that term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund.
Ownership of the Acquiring Fund Shares.  Because the Acquiring Fund has not yet commenced operations, as of the date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, no person owned of record or beneficially any outstanding shares of the Acquiring Fund.
Ownership of Fund Affiliates.  [As of June 7, 2021, none of the Independent Trustees nominated for election or their immediate family members owned any securities of the investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Target Fund, or a person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Target Fund.  In addition, no Independent Trustee purchased or sold any securities of the investment adviser or its affiliates during the past fiscal year.]

Exhibit D- Board Leadership Structure, Role in Risk Oversight, and Committees and Meetings of the Target Fund

Board Leadership Structure
The Target Fund Board is currently composed of fifteen Trustees, including fourteen Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Target Fund, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (collectively, the “Independent Trustees” and each, an “Independent Trustee”).  In addition to eight regularly scheduled meetings per year, the Target Fund Board holds special meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the next regular meeting.  As discussed below, the Target Fund Board has established four standing committees – the Audit Committee, the Compliance Committee, the Governance Committee and the Investments Committee (the “Committees”), to assist the Target Fund Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.
The Target Fund Board has appointed an Independent Trustee to serve in the role of Chair.  The Chair’s primary role is to preside at meetings of the Target Fund Board and act as a liaison with the Adviser and other service providers, officers (including the Senior Officer of the Target Fund), attorneys and other Trustees between meetings.  The Chair also participates in the preparation of the agenda for the meetings of the Target Fund Board, is active with mutual fund industry organizations, and may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Target Fund Board from time to time.  Except for any duties specified pursuant to the Target Fund’s Declaration of Trust or Bylaws, the designation of Chair does not impose on such Independent Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Target Fund Board generally.
The Target Fund Board believes that its leadership structure, including having an Independent Trustee as Chair, allows for effective communication between the Trustees and management, among the Trustees and among the Independent Trustees.  The existing Board structure, including its committee structure as discussed below, provides the Independent Trustees with effective control over Board governance while also allowing them to receive and benefit from insight from the interested Trustee who is an active officer of the Target Fund’s investment adviser.  The Target Fund Board’s leadership structure promotes dialogue and debate, which the Target Fund Board believes allows for the proper consideration of matters deemed important to the Target Fund and its shareholders and results in effective decision-making.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
The Target Fund Board considers risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year at its regular meetings and at regular meetings of its Committees.  Invesco prepares regular reports that address certain investment, valuation and compliance matters, and the Target Fund Board as a whole or the Committees also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Target Fund Board, a Committee or the Senior Officer.
The Audit Committee is apprised by, and discusses with, management its policies on risk assessment and risk management.  Such discussion includes a discussion of the guidelines governing the process by which risks are assessed and managed and an identification of the Target Fund’s major financial risk exposures.  In addition, the Audit Committee meets regularly with representatives of Invesco Ltd.’s internal audit group to review reports on their examinations of functions and processes within Invesco that affect the Target Fund.  The Audit Committee also oversees the valuation of the
D-1

Target Fund’s portfolio securities and receives reports from management regarding the valuation of the Target Fund’s portfolio securities as consistent with the Target Fund’s Pricing Procedures.
The Compliance Committee receives regular compliance reports prepared by Invesco’s compliance group and meets regularly with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) to discuss compliance issues, including compliance risks.  The Compliance Committee has recommended and the Target Fund Board has adopted compliance policies and procedures for the Target Fund and for the Target Fund’s service providers.  The compliance policies and procedures are designed to detect, prevent and correct violations of the federal securities laws.
The Governance Committee monitors the composition of the Target Fund Board and each of its Committees and monitors the qualifications of the Trustees to ensure adherence to certain governance undertakings applicable to the Target Fund.  In addition, the Governance Committee oversees an annual self-assessment of the Target Fund Board and addresses governance risks, including insurance and fidelity bond matters, for the Target Fund.
The Investments Committee and its sub-committees receive regular written reports describing and analyzing the investment performance of the Invesco Funds.  In addition, Invesco’s Chief Investment Officers and the portfolio managers of the Target Fund meet regularly with the Investments Committee or its sub-committees to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk, such as the impact on the Target Fund of investments in particular types of securities or instruments, such as derivatives.  To the extent that a Fund changes a particular investment strategy that could have a material impact on the Fund’s risk profile, the Target Fund Board generally is consulted in advance with respect to such change.
Board Committees and Meetings
The standing committees of the Target Fund Board are the Audit Committee, the Compliance Committee, the Governance Committee, and the Investments Committee (the “Committees”).
Audit Committee.  The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. LaCava (Chair), Troccoli, Vaughn (Vice Chair), Wilson, Dr. Jones, and Mss. Hostetler and Stern.  The Audit Committee performs a number of functions with respect to the oversight of the Target Fund’s accounting and financial reporting, including: (i) assisting the Target Fund Board with its oversight of the qualifications, independence and performance of the independent registered public accountants; (ii) appointing independent registered public accountants for the Target Fund; (iii) to the extent required, pre-approving certain audit and permissible non-audit services; (iv) overseeing the financial reporting process for the Target Fund; (v) assisting the Target Fund Board with its oversight of the integrity of the Target Fund’s financial statements and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the Target Fund’s accounting and financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting and independent audits; (vi) pre-approving engagements for non-audit services to be provided by the Target Fund’s independent auditors to the Target Fund’s investment adviser or to any of its affiliates; and (vii) overseeing the valuation of the Target Fund’s portfolio securities.  During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021, the Audit Committee held four meetings.  The Audit Committee’s charter is available at www.invesco.com/us.  Each member of the Audit Committee has been determined by the Board to be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC.  Each such audit committee financial expert is an Independent Trustee.
Compliance Committee.  The members of the Compliance Committee are Messrs. Fields, Motley and Vandivort, and Mss. Brown, Krentzman (Chair), and Ressel (Vice Chair) and Dr. Mathai-Davis.  The Compliance Committee performs a number of functions with respect to compliance matters, including: (i) reviewing and making recommendations concerning the qualifications, performance and compensation of
D-2

the Target Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer; (ii) reviewing recommendations and reports made by the Chief Compliance Officer or Senior Officer of the Target Fund regarding compliance matters; (iii) overseeing compliance policies and procedures of the Target Fund and its service providers; (iv) overseeing potential conflicts of interest that are reported to the Compliance Committee by Invesco, the Chief Compliance Officer, or the Senior Officer; (v) reviewing reports prepared by a third party’s compliance review of Invesco; (vi) if requested by the Target Fund Board, overseeing risk management with respect to the Target Fund, including receiving and overseeing risk management reports from Invesco that are applicable to the Target Fund and its service providers; and (vii) reviewing reports by Invesco on correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies with respect to the Target Fund and recommending to the Target Fund Board what action, if any, should be taken by the Target Fund in light of such reports.  During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021, the Compliance Committee held four  meetings.
Governance Committee.  The members of the Governance Committee are Messrs. Fields (Chair), LaCava, Vandivort and Wilson, Ms. Stern (Vice Chair) and Drs. Jones and Mathai-Davis. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021, the Governance Committee held five meetings.  The Governance Committee’s charter is available at www.invesco.com/us.
The Governance Committee performs a number of functions with respect to governance, including: (i) nominating persons to serve as Independent Trustees and as members of each Committee, and nominating the Chair of the Target Fund Board and the Chair and Vice Chair of each Committee; (ii) reviewing and making recommendations to the full Board regarding the size and composition of the Target Fund Board and the compensation payable to the Independent Trustees; (iii) overseeing the annual evaluation of the performance of the Target Fund Board and its Committees; (iv) considering and overseeing the selection of independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees; (v) reviewing and approving the compensation paid to the Senior Officer; (vi) reviewing administrative and/or logistical matters pertaining to the operations of the Target Fund Board; and (vii) reviewing annually recommendations from Invesco Advisers regarding amounts and coverage of primary and excess directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance and allocation of premiums.
When the Target Fund Board has or expects to have a vacancy, the Governance Committee receives and reviews information on individuals qualified to be recommended to the full Target Fund Board as nominees for election as Trustees.  The Governance Committee considers candidates identified by members of the Governance Committee, the full Target Fund Board and management, as well as any recommendations by shareholders (as described below), as part of this process.  At times, the Governance Committee may use a third party search firm to assist with the identification of qualified candidates.
The Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by a shareholder in accordance with the Target Fund’s governing instruments to serve as trustees, provided: (i) that such submitting shareholder is a shareholder of record, with proof of such ownership or holding reasonably satisfactory to the Funds to be provided by such record owner or nominee holder, at the time he or she submits such names and is entitled to vote at the meeting of shareholders at which trustees will be elected; and (ii) that the Governance Committee or the Target Fund Board, as applicable, shall make the final determination of persons to be nominated.
While the Governance Committee believes that there are no specific minimum qualifications for a nominee to possess or any specific qualities or skills that are necessary, in considering a candidate’s qualifications, the Governance Committee may consider, among other things: (1) whether or not the person is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act, and is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a trustee of the Target Fund; (2) whether or not the person is willing to serve as, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of, a trustee;
D-3

(3) whether the person can make a positive contribution to the Target Fund Board and the Target Fund, with consideration being given to the person’s specific experience, education, qualifications and other skills; and (4) whether the person is of good character and high integrity, and whether the person has other desirable personality traits, including independence, leadership and the ability to work with other Target Fund Board members.  The Governance Committee has not adopted any specific policy on the issue of diversity, but will take this into account, among other factors, in its consideration of new candidates to the Target Fund Board.
Under the Target Fund’s governing instruments, nominees must meet certain additional qualifications to qualify for nomination and service as a Trustee.  Nominees may be disqualified if they engaged in disabling conduct outlined in the Target Fund’s Declaration of Trust.  Nominees that are associated with other investment vehicles and investment advisers may not be eligible for nomination and service as a Trustee if the Target Fund Board finds that such associations have conflicts of interest with the long-term best interests of the Target Fund, impede the ability of the nominee to perform, or impede the free-flow of information from management.  Nominees that are acting in concert with control persons of other investment companies that are in violation of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act will be disqualified from nomination and service as a Trustee.  Notice procedures set forth in the Target Fund’s Bylaws require that any shareholder of the Target Fund desiring to nominate a trustee for election at an annual shareholder meeting must deliver to the Target Fund’s Secretary notice of the shareholder’s intent to nominate in writing not less than ninety (90) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year.
Investments Committee.  The members of the Investments Committee are Messrs. Fields, Flanagan, LaCava, Motley, Troccoli, Vandivort (Vice Chair), Vaughn and Wilson, Mss. Brown, Hostetler (Chair), Krentzman, Ressel (Vice Chair) and Stern (Vice Chair) and Drs. Jones and Mathai-Davis.  The Investments Committee’s primary purposes are to assist the Target Fund Board in its oversight of the investment management services provided by Invesco and the Sub-Advisers and to periodically review Target Fund performance information, information regarding the Target Fund’s trading practices and such other reports pertaining to portfolio securities transactions and information regarding the investment personnel and other resources devoted to the management of the Target Fund and make recommendations to the Target Fund Board, when applicable.  During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021, the Investments Committee held five meetings.
The Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees and delegated to the Sub-Committees responsibility for, among other matters: (i) reviewing the performance of the Target Fund and other Invesco Fund that have been assigned to a particular Sub-Committee (for each Sub-Committee, the “Designated Funds”), except to the extent the Investments Committee takes such action directly; (ii) reviewing with the applicable portfolio managers from time to time the investment objective(s), policies, strategies, performance and risks and other investment-related matters of the Designated Funds; and (iii) being generally familiar with the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Designated Funds as stated in each Designated Funds’ prospectus and with the management’s discussion of fund performance section of the Designated Funds’ periodic shareholder report.
Trustees are encouraged to attend shareholder meetings, but the Target Fund Board has no set policy requiring Board member attendance at meetings.  During the Target Fund’s last fiscal year, each of the Trustees during the period such Trustee served as a Trustee attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Target Fund Board and all committee meetings thereof of which such Trustee was a member.

Exhibit E- Remuneration and Fund Share Holdings of the Target Fund’s and Acquiring Fund’s Trustees

Each Trustee who is not affiliated with Invesco is compensated for his or her services according to a fee schedule that recognizes the fact that such Trustee also serves as a Trustee of other Invesco Funds.  Each such Trustee receives a fee, allocated among the Invesco Funds for which he or she serves as a Trustee that consists of an annual retainer component and a meeting fee component.  The Chair of the Target Fund Board and Chair of each Committee (defined below) and Sub-Committee receive additional compensation for their services.
Pre-Amendment Retirement Plan for Trustees
The Trustees have adopted a Retirement Plan for the Trustees who are not affiliated with the Adviser.  A description of the pre-amendment Retirement Plan follows.  Annual retirement benefits are available from the Target Fund and/or the other Invesco Funds for which a Trustee serves (each, a “Covered Fund”), for each Trustee who is not an employee or officer of the Adviser, who either (a) became a Trustee prior to December 1, 2008, and who has at least five years of credited service as a Trustee (including service to a predecessor fund) of a Covered Fund, or (b) was a member of the Board of Trustees of a Van Kampen Fund immediately prior to June 1, 2010 (“Former Van Kampen Trustee”), and has at least one year of credited service as a Trustee of a Covered Fund after June 1, 2010.
For Trustees other than Former Van Kampen Trustees, effective January 1, 2006, for retirements after December 31, 2005, the retirement benefits will equal 75% of the Trustee’s annual retainer paid to or accrued by any Covered Fund with respect to such Trustee during the twelve-month period prior to retirement, including the amount of any retainer deferred under a separate deferred compensation agreement between the Covered Fund and the Trustee.  The amount of the annual retirement benefit does not include additional compensation paid for Board meeting fees or compensation paid to the Chair of the Board and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain Board committees, whether such amounts are paid directly to the Trustee or deferred.  The annual retirement benefit is payable in quarterly installments for a number of years equal to the lesser of (i) sixteen years or (ii) the number of such Trustee’s credited years of service.  If a Trustee dies prior to receiving the full amount of retirement benefits, the remaining payments will be made to the deceased Trustee’s designated beneficiary for the same length of time that the Trustee would have received the payments based on his or her service or, if the Trustee has elected, in a discounted lump sum payment.  A Trustee must have attained the age of 65 (60 in the event of disability) to receive any retirement benefit.  A Trustee may make an irrevocable election to commence payment of retirement benefits upon retirement from the Board before age 72; in such a case, the annual retirement benefit is subject to a reduction for early payment.
If the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes at least 10 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the retirement benefit will equal 75% of the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s annual retainer paid to or accrued by any Covered Fund with respect to such Trustee during the twelve-month period prior to retirement, including the amount of any retainer deferred under a separate deferred compensation agreement between the Covered Fund and such Trustee.  The amount of the annual retirement benefit does not include additional compensation paid for Board meeting fees or compensation paid to the Chair of the Board and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain Board committees, whether such amounts are paid directly to the Trustee or deferred.  The annual retirement benefit is payable in quarterly installments for 10 years beginning after the later of the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s termination of service or attainment of age 72 (or age 60 in the event of disability or immediately in the event of death).  If a Former Van Kampen Trustee dies prior to receiving the full amount of retirement benefits, the remaining payments will be made to the deceased Trustee’s designated beneficiary or, if the Trustee has elected, in a discounted lump sum payment.
E-1

If the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes less than 10 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the retirement benefit will be payable at the applicable time described in the preceding paragraph, but will be paid in two components successively.  For the period of time equal to the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the first component of the annual retirement benefit will equal 75% of the compensation amount described in the preceding paragraph.  Thereafter, for the period of time equal to the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the second component of the annual retirement benefit will equal the excess of (x) 75% of the compensation amount described in the preceding paragraph, over (y) $68,041 plus an interest factor of 4% per year compounded annually measured from June 1, 2010 through the first day of each year for which payments under this second component are to be made.  In no event, however, will the retirement benefits under the two components be made for a period of time greater than 10 years.  For example, if the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes 7 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, he or she will receive 7 years of payments under the first component and thereafter 3 years of payments under the second component, and if the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes 4 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, he or she will receive 4 years of payments under the first component and thereafter 4 years of payments under the second component.
Amendment of Retirement Plan and Conversion to Defined Contribution Plan
The Trustees approved an amendment to the Retirement Plan to convert it to a defined contribution plan for active Trustees (the “Amended Plan”).  Under the Amended Plan, the benefit amount was amended for each active Trustee to the present value of the Trustee’s existing retirement plan benefit as of December 31, 2013 (the “Existing Plan Benefit”) plus the present value of retirement benefits expected to be earned under the Retirement Plan through the end of the calendar year in which the Trustee attained age 75 (the “Expected Future Benefit” and, together with the Existing Plan Benefit, the “Accrued Benefit”).  On the conversion date, the Covered Funds established bookkeeping accounts in the amount of their pro rata share of the Accrued Benefit, which is deemed to be invested in one or more Invesco Funds selected by the participating Trustees.  Such accounts will be adjusted from time to time to reflect deemed investment earnings and losses.  Each Trustee’s Accrued Benefit is not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts held in the accounts, the participating Trustees have the status of unsecured creditors of the Covered Funds.  Trustees will be paid the adjusted account balance under the Amended Plan in quarterly installments for the same period as described above.
Deferred Compensation Agreements
Four retired Trustees, as well as Messrs. LaCava, Motley, Troccoli, Vandivort, Vaughn and Wilson, Mss. Hostetler and Stern and Drs. Jones and Mathai-Davis (for purposes of this paragraph only, the “Deferring Trustees”) have each executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement (collectively, the “Compensation Agreements”).  Pursuant to the Compensation Agreements, the Deferring Trustees have the option to elect to defer receipt of up to 100% of their compensation payable by the Target Fund, and such amounts are placed into a deferral account and deemed to be invested in one or more Invesco Funds selected by the Deferring Trustees.
Distributions from these deferral accounts will be paid in cash, generally in equal quarterly installments over a period of up to ten (10) years (depending on the Compensation Agreement) beginning on the date selected under the Compensation Agreement.  If a Deferring Trustee dies prior to the distribution of amounts in his or her deferral account, the balance of the deferral account will be distributed to his or her designated beneficiary.  The Compensation Agreements are not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts held in the deferral accounts, the Deferring Trustees have the status of unsecured creditors of the Target Fund and of each other Invesco Fund from which they are deferring compensation.

As disclosed above, the members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. LaCava (Chair), Troccoli and Vaughn (Vice Chair), Wilson, Dr. Jones and Mss. Hostetler and Stern.

Exhibit I- Pre-Approval Of Audit And Non-Audit Services Policies And Procedures
As adopted by the Audit Committees
of the Invesco Funds (the “Funds”)
Last Amended March 29, 2017

I. Statement of Principles
The Audit Committees (the “Audit Committee”) of the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”) have adopted these policies and procedures (the “Procedures”) with respect to the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Funds’ independent auditor (the “Auditor”) to the Funds, and to the Funds’ investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Funds (collectively, “Service Affiliates”).
Under Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by the Auditor must be preapproved by the Audit Committee.  Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X requires that the Audit Committee also pre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement”).
These Procedures set forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which the Audit Committee may pre-approve audit and non-audit services for the Funds and a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other organizations and regulatory bodies applicable to the Funds (“Applicable Rules”).11 They address both general pre-approvals without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approvals”) and pre-approvals on a case-by-case basis (“specific pre-approvals”).  Any services requiring pre-approval that are not within the scope of general pre-approvals hereunder are subject to specific pre-approval.  These Procedures also address the delegation by the Audit Committee of pre-approval authority to the Audit Committee Chair or Vice Chair.
II. Pre-Approval of Fund Audit Services
The annual Fund audit services engagement, including terms and fees, is subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.  Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by an independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements.  The Audit Committee will receive, review and consider sufficient information concerning a proposed Fund audit engagement to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence.  The Audit Committee will oversee the Fund audit services engagement as necessary, including approving any changes in terms, audit scope, conditions and fees.
In addition to approving the Fund audit services engagement at least annually and specifically approving any changes, the Audit Committee may generally or specifically pre-approve engagements for other audit services, which are those services that only an independent auditor reasonably can provide.  Other audit services may include services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC.

1   Applicable Rules include, for example, NYSE rules applicable to closed-end funds managed by Invesco and listed on the NYSE.
I-1

III. General and Specific Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Fund Services
The Audit Committee will consider, at least annually, the list of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services which list may be terminated or modified at any time by the Audit Committee.  To inform the Audit Committee’s review and approval of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and Auditor shall provide such information regarding independence or other matters as the Audit Committee may request.
Any services or fee ranges that are not within the scope of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services have not received general pre-approval and require specific pre-approval.  Each request for specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee for services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee)and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether to pre-approve such engagement, including evaluating whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor and is otherwise consistent with Applicable Rules.
IV. Non-Audit Service Types
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of audit-related, tax or other services, each as described in more detail below.
a. Audit Related Services
“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by an independent auditor.  Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; services related to mergers, acquisitions or dispositions; compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements.
b. Tax Services
“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations.  The Audit Committee will not approve proposed services of the Auditor which the Audit Committee believes are to be provided in connection with a service or transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Code and related regulations.  The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisers as necessary to ensure the consistency of tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy.  The Auditor shall not represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee will include a description from the Auditor in writing of (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or other amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement (whether oral, written, or otherwise) between the Auditor and the Funds, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor (or an affiliate of the Auditor) and any person (other than the Funds or Service Affiliates receiving the services) with respect to the promoting,
I-2

marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service.  The Auditor will also discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor, and document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committee.
c. Other Services
The Audit Committee may pre-approve other non-audit services so long as the Audit Committee believes that the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor.  Appendix I includes a list of services that the Auditor is prohibited from performing by the SEC rules.  Appendix I also includes a list of services that would impair the Auditor’s independence unless the Audit Committee reasonably concludes that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Funds’ financial statements.
V. Pre-Approval of Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements
Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds, defined above as a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement.”
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, including for audit-related, tax or other services, as described above, if the Audit Committee believes that the provision of the services to a Service Affiliate will not impair the independence of the Auditor with respect to the Funds.  Any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements that are not within the scope of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services have not received general pre-approval and require specific pre-approval.
Each request for specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee of a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee)and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, a description of the current status of the pre-approval process involving other audit committees in the Invesco investment company complex (as defined in Rule 2-201 of Regulation S-X) with respect to the proposed engagement, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor from the Funds.  Additionally, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a statement that the proposed engagement requires pre-approval by the Audit Committee, the proposed engagement, in their view, will not impair the independence of the Auditor and is consistent with Applicable Rules, and the description of the proposed engagement provided to the Audit Committee is consistent with that presented to or approved by the Invesco audit committee.
Information about all Service Affiliate engagements of the Auditor for non-audit services, whether or not subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee, shall be provided to the Audit Committee at least quarterly, to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds.  The Funds’ Treasurer and Auditor shall provide the Audit Committee with sufficiently detailed information about the scope of services provided and the fees for such services, to ensure that the Audit Committee can adequately consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds.
VI. Pre-Approved Fee Levels or Established Amounts
Pre-approved fee levels or ranges for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds, and for a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, under general pre-approval or specific
I-3

pre-approval will be set periodically by the Audit Committee.  Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fee levels or ranges for such services or engagements will be promptly presented to the Audit Committee and will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee before payment of any additional fees is made.
VII. Delegation
The Audit Committee hereby delegates, subject to the dollar limitations set forth below, specific authority to its Chair, or in his or her absence, Vice Chair, to pre-approve audit and non-audit services proposed to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds and/or a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, between Audit Committee meetings.  Such delegation does not preclude the Chair or Vice Chair from declining, on a case by case basis, to exercise his or her delegated authority and instead convening the Audit Committee to consider and pre-approve any proposed services or engagements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Audit Committee must pre-approve: (a) any non-audit services to be provided to the Funds for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; (b) any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; or (c) any cost increase to any previously approved service or engagement that exceeds the greater of $250,000 or 50% of the previously approved fees up to a maximum increase of $500,000.
VIII. Compliance with Procedures
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure to pre-approve any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X shall not constitute a violation of these Procedures.  The Audit Committee has designated the Funds’ Treasurer to ensure services and engagements are pre-approved in compliance with these Procedures.  The Funds’ Treasurer will immediately report to the Chair of the Audit Committee, or the Vice Chair in his or her absence, any breach of these Procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a summary of all non-audit services provided to any entity in the investment company complex (as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X, including the Funds and Service Affiliates) that were not pre-approved, including the nature of services provided and the associated fees.
IX. Amendments to Procedures
All material amendments to these Procedures must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee.  Non-material amendments to these Procedures may be made by the Legal and Compliance Departments and will be reported to the Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.
I-4

General Information

This SAI relates specifically to the proposed reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund. In connection with the annual meeting of shareholders of the Target Fund to be held on September 3, 2021 (the “Meeting”), shareholders of the Target Fund will be asked to approve a proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) providing for:  (a) the transfer of the assets to and assumption of the liabilities of the Target Fund by the newly established Acquiring Fund in exchange for Class AX shares of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”); (b) the distribution of such Acquiring Fund Shares to the holders of the common shares of the Target Fund (“Target Fund Common Shares”) pro rata based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Target Fund Common Shares held by each such Target Fund shareholder in complete liquidation of the Target Fund and (c) the cancellation of the outstanding Target Fund Common Shares (the “Reorganization”). Further information regarding the proposed Reorganization is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating to the Meeting and in the documents, listed below, that are incorporated by reference into this SAI.

Incorporation of Documents by Reference into the Statement of Additional Information

Further information about the Acquiring Fund is contained in the Acquiring Fund’s Statement of Additional Information dated [July __], 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference only insofar as it relates to the Acquiring Fund. No other parts are incorporated by reference herein. Because the Acquiring Fund was newly created for purposes of the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund has not yet published an annual or semi-annual report to shareholders.  The Acquiring Fund will commence operations upon consummation of the Reorganization and continue the operations of the Target Fund.  The Target Fund shall be the accounting and performance survivor in the Reorganization, and the Acquiring Fund, as the corporate survivor in the Reorganization, shall adopt the accounting and performance history of the Target Fund.  Additionally, there are no material differences in accounting policies of the Target Fund as compared to those of the Acquiring Fund.

A table showing the fees and expenses of the Acquiring Fund and Target Fund and the fees and expenses of the Acquiring Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the proposed Reorganization is included in the section titled “Summary of Key Information- How Do The Funds’ Expenses Compare?” of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The Reorganization is not expected to result in a material change to the Target Fund’s investment portfolio due to the investment restrictions of the Acquiring Fund.  Accordingly, a schedule of investments of the Target Fund modified to reflect such change is not included.
Additionally, there are no material differences in accounting policies of the Target Fund as compared to those of the Acquiring Fund.
This SAI incorporates by reference the following documents, which have each been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will be sent to any shareholder requesting this SAI:

Section 16 of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement between the Registrant and the Adviser provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties under the Master Investment Advisory Agreement on the part of the Adviser or any of its officers, directors or employees, the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Registrant or to any shareholder of the Registrant for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services under the Master Investment Advisory Agreement or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security. Section 12 of the Master Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and Invesco Distributors provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties under the Master Distribution Agreement on the part of Invesco Distributors, the Registrant shall indemnify Invesco Distributors against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses which Invesco Distributors may incur under the Securities Act of 1933, or common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus, or any omission to state a material fact therein, the omission of which makes any statement contained therein misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Registrant in connection therewith by or on behalf of Invesco Distributors.

Insofar as indemnification for claims, demands expenses and liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant and the Adviser and any underwriter pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer, or controlling person or the Registrant and the principal underwriter in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such Trustee, officer or controlling person or Invesco Distributors in connection with the Shares being registered, such indemnification by it is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
