NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Special Opportunities Fund, Inc.

Substantially the entire $0.70 per share distribution is expected to consist of realized long-term capital gains and is taxable in calendar year 2025.

Stockholders that elected to receive the distribution in stock or that did not make an election will receive 0.0468 shares for each share of common stock owned on December 29, 2025 rounded down to the next full share and a cash payment for any fractional share. Since the total amount of cash to be distributed to stockholders is limited to 20% of the total distribution, shareholders that elected to receive cash will receive $0.213958 in cash for each share of common stock owned on December 29, 2025 and the balance of the $0.70 distribution in stock rounded down to the next full share, and a cash payment for any fractional share.
