GREENWICH, Conn., April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This press release corrects a prior version published on April 1, 2026 to clarify the redemption method for the partial redemption of the 6.25% Series 2027 Term Preferred Stock. Except as noted below, all other information in the press release issued on April 1, 2026 remains unchanged.

OXLC's business model shifts credit risk to shareholders, distributing all earnings and recording capital losses as NAV/share declines. Returns are positively correlated with price/NAV discounts, favoring buy-and-hold entry at deep discounts. The 2032 7.9% Notes now trade below redemption, offering fixed-income investors a cleaner, lower-risk exit.

The higher yields we choose, the more risks we introduce in our portfolios. Usually, the double-digit level is the tipping point from which the risks start to increase exponentially. The 14%+ yielding zone is very dangerous (packed with many landmines and only few areas of safety).

GREENWICH, Conn., April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxford Lane Capital Corp. (NasdaqGS: OXLC, OXLCP, OXLCL, OXLCO, OXLCZ, OXLCN, OXLCI, OXLCG and OXLCM) (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared the required monthly dividends on its 8.25% Series 2031 Term Preferred Shares as follows: Month Ending Record Date Payment Date Amount Per Share April 30, 2026 April 16, 2026 April 30, 2026 $0.240625 May 31, 2026 May 15, 2026 May 29, 2026 $0.171875 (1) Includes the initial accrual period commencing March 20, 2026, the date the 8.25% Series 2031 Term Preferred Shares were issued.

Oxford Lane Capital recently issued the 8.25% Term Preferred Series 2031, now trading below par with a YTM of 9.04%. OXLC's NAV per share has declined 50% year-over-year, driven by over-distribution and portfolio devaluation, raising significant credit risk concerns. The NAV drop, dividend cuts, and a reverse split led to OXLC trading at a discount, eliminating the prior hedging advantage for fixed-income investors.

Closed-end funds faced a challenging week, with NAVs mostly lower and discounts reverting to historical averages. CLO equity CEFs like OXLC, ECC, and EIC experienced significant NAV declines due to falling loan prices and sector-specific pressures. FS Specialty Lending Fund now mirrors FSCO's portfolio but trades at a wider discount due to its legacy underperformance; convergence is expected over time.

We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the first week of March and highlight recent market action. It was a tough week for CEFs due to declines in both Treasuries and stocks. CLO Equity CEFs have experienced significant pressure, with February NAVs estimated to show double-digit declines, driven by syndicated loan market weakness.

Scott Kaufman from The Dividend Kings explains the large rotation from growth focused investments to being overwhelmingly focused on value. Strict valuation discipline, exiting quality names like Enbridge (ENB) when total return outlooks turn negative due to overvaluation.
