On April 28, 2025, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wellings Real Estate Income Fund (the “Company”) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to file a notice with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the Company’s withdrawal of its prior election to be governed as a business development company under Section 55 through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. On the same date, the Board recommended that the Company’s shareholders approve this course of action.
