Reading Time: 6 minutes

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–On April 26, 2019, Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
(NYSE: DEX) (the “Fund”), a closed-end fund, paid a monthly distribution
on its common stock of $0.0904 per share to shareholders of record at
the close of business on April 18, 2019.

The following table sets forth the estimated amount of the sources of
distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, and the related rules adopted thereunder. The Fund
estimates the following percentages, of the total distribution amount
per share, attributable to (i) net investment income, (ii) net realized
short-term capital gain, (iii) net realized long-term capital gain and
(iv) return of capital or other capital source. These percentages are
disclosed for the current distribution as well as the fiscal
year-to-date cumulative distribution amount per share for the Fund.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s
investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the
terms of the Fund’s managed distribution policy. The amounts and sources
of distributions reported in this 19(a) Notice are only estimates and
are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts
and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon
the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year
and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will
send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to
report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Subject to the foregoing, the Fund estimates (as of the date hereof)
that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital
gains for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2019; therefore, a portion
of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may
occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in
the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not
necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be
confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’

Presented below are return figures, based on the change in the Fund’s
Net Asset Value per share (“NAV”), compared to the annualized
distribution rate for this current distribution as a percentage of the
NAV on the last business day of the month prior to distribution record
date.

 

Fund Performance and Distribution Information

 
Fiscal Year to Date (12/01/2018 through 3/29/2019)
Annualized Distribution Rate as a Percentage of NAV^   9.83%
Cumulative Distribution Rate on NAV^^   4.11%
Cumulative Total Return on NAV*   5.40%
     
Average Annual Total Return on NAV for the 5-Year Period Ending
3/29/19**
  3.88%
 

^ Based on the Fund’s NAV as of March 29, 2019.

^^ Cumulative distribution rate is the cumulative amount of
distributions paid during the Fund’s fiscal year ending November 30,
2019 based on the Fund’s NAV as of March 29, 2019.

*Cumulative fiscal year-to-date return is based on the change in NAV
including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these
distributions for the period December 1, 2018 through March 29, 2019.

**The 5-year average annual total return is based on change in NAV
including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these
distributions and is through the last business day of the month prior to
the month of the current distribution record date.

While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment
performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s investment
in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is
determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and
demand for the Fund’s shares in the open market.

About DEX

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek current income, with
a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund invests globally
in dividend-paying or income-generating securities across multiple asset
classes, including but not limited to: equity securities of large,
well-established companies; securities issued by real estate companies
(including real estate investment trusts and real estate industry
operating companies); debt securities (such as government bonds;
investment grade and high risk, high yield corporate bonds; and
convertible bonds); and emerging market securities. The Fund also uses
enhanced income strategies by engaging in dividend capture trading;
option overwriting; and realization of gains on the sale of securities,
dividend growth, and currency forwards. There is no assurance that the
Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest: (1) at most 60% of
its net assets in securities of U.S. issuers; and (2) at least 40% of
its net assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers, unless market
conditions are not deemed favorable by the Manager, in which case, the
Fund would invest at least 30% of its net assets in securities of
non-U.S. issuers; and (3) the Fund may invest up to 25% of its net
assets in securities issued by real estate companies (including real
estate investment trusts and real estate industry operating companies).
In addition, the Fund utilizes leveraging techniques in an attempt to
obtain higher return for the Fund.

The Fund has implemented a managed distribution policy. Under the
policy, the Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the
distribution as possible from net investment income and short-term
capital gains. The balance of the distribution will then come from
long-term capital gains to the extent permitted, and if necessary, a
return of capital. Even though the Fund may realize current year capital
gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund’s
capital loss carryovers from prior years.

Currently under the Fund’s managed distribution policy, the Fund makes
monthly distributions to common shareholders at a targeted annual
distribution rate of 10% of the Fund’s average net asset value (“NAV”)
per share. The Fund will calculate the average NAV per share from the
previous three full months immediately prior to the distribution based
on the number of business days in those three months on which the NAV is
calculated. The distribution will be calculated as 10% of the prior
three month’s average NAV per share, divided by 12. The Fund will
generally distribute amounts necessary to satisfy the Fund’s managed
distribution policy and the requirements prescribed by excise tax rules
and Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. This distribution
methodology is intended to provide shareholders with a consistent, but
not guaranteed, income stream and a targeted annual distribution rate
and is intended to narrow the discount between the market price and the
NAV of the Fund’s common shares, but there is no assurance that the
policy will be successful in doing so. The methodology for determining
monthly distributions under the Fund’s managed distribution policy will
be reviewed at least annually by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, and the
Fund will continue to evaluate its distribution in light of ongoing
market conditions.

The payment of dividend distributions in accordance with the managed
distribution policy may result in a decrease in the Fund’s net assets. A
decrease in the Fund’s net assets may cause an increase in the Fund’s
annual operating expenses and a decrease in the Fund’s market price per
share to the extent the market price correlates closely to the Fund’s
net asset value per share. The managed distribution policy may also
negatively affect the Fund’s investment activities to the extent that
the Fund is required to hold larger cash positions than it typically
would hold or to the extent that the Fund must liquidate securities that
it would not have sold, for the purpose of paying the dividend
distribution. The managed distribution policy may, under certain
circumstances, cause the amounts of taxable distributions to exceed the
amount minimally required to be distributed under the tax rules, such
excess will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent loss carry
forwards reduce the required amount of capital gains distributions in
that year. Investors should consult their tax advisor regarding federal,
state, and local tax considerations that may be applicable in their
particular circumstances.

Innocan Pharma Initiates FDA Approval Process for Liposome Injection Therapy for Chronic Pain

With its submission of a Pre-IND Meeting Request Letter, Innocan initiates the regulatory process with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the approval of its prolonged CBD release technology for human use

HERZLIYA, Israel and CALGARY, AB, April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Innocan Pharma Corporation (CSE: INNO) (FSE: IP4) (OTCQB: INNPF) (“Innocan” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that is has reached a key milestone: the Company submitted its letter of application for a Pre-IND meeting, the first phase in the FDA approval process in the United States for Innocan’s Liposome-Cannabidiol (LPT-CBD) injectable treatment of chronic pain.

With the global market for pain therapeutics widely expected to exceed US$100 billion by 2032[1], LPT therapy which requires only one single monthly subcutaneous injection, is positioned as a highly attractive alternative to opioid-based approaches. Opioids have and continue to take a significant human toll in recent years, with more than three-quarters of drug overdose deaths in the United States involving opioids, according to the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention[2].

Innocan’s therapy has shown consistent efficacy in multiple pre-clinical trials in recent years of it’s LPT-CBD injectable treatment through prolonged and controlled release of CBD in animals with chronic pain conditions. Innocan’s Pre-IND Meeting Request Letter to the FDA is a key milestone and important first step in seeking approval of its LPT-CBD therapy for use in humans. At the Pre-IND meeting, the objective will be to obtain guidance from the FDA on the preclinical and clinical development plan, enabling the initiation of an Investigational New Drug (IND) program in the United States.

Iris Bincovich, CEO of Innocan, commented: “We are extremely excited to embark on this next stage in the development of LPT-CBD injectables, this is a major Milestone for Innocan Pharma. We have invested significant effort and many thousands of person-hours in its research and development, accumulating a wealth of preclinical data that will serve as the foundation for our participation in the FDA process. This is a key milestone for Innocan and marks our first step towards the FDA’s recognition of our technology. We see significant potential for our therapy, with an addressable market for pain management therapeutics expected to exceed US $100 billion by 2032, and we look forward to tapping that.

Dr. Joseph Pergolizzi, Innocan’s FDA Advisory Board Member, added:

“We have worked hard to catalogue the data collected as part of our animal LPT therapy testing program and prepare it for the FDA. We look forward to working under FDA guidance, with the goal of completing the review process as quickly and efficiently as possible. We believe that Innocan’s unique treatment method, if and when it should become FDA-approved has the potential of being a highly valuable non-opioid addition in the medical arsenal of the management of chronic pain.”
