Item 8.01. Other Events
In accordance with Plans of Liquidation for Guggenheim Credit Income Fund (the ‘Master Fund”), Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2016 T (“GCIF 2016 T”) and Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2019 (“GCIF 2019”) (GCIF 2016 T and GCIF 2019, collectively, the “Feeder Funds”), the Board has declared liquidating distributions per share of $0.59, $0.62 and $1.71 for the Master Fund, GCIF 2016 T and GCIF 2019, respectively. The Net Asset Values of the companies will decrease by the amount of the corresponding liquidating distributions. As such, the value on shareholder’s investment statement will decrease as liquidating distributions are paid.

The distributions for the Master Fund will have a record date of December 19, 2022 and a payment date of December 20, 2022. The distributions for the Feeder Funds will have a record date of December 22, 2022 and a payment date of December 23, 2022.

For the Master Fund and the Feeder Funds, as of December 31, 2022, over 70% of the December 31, 2020 NAV will have been paid to shareholders in the form of liquidating distributions. However, in light of recent market volatility, we will not prudently be able to liquidate the entire portfolio by December 31, 2022 and will continue to operate as a BDC and pay liquidating distributions into 2023.
The table below is intended to highlight some relevant metrics associated with the Plans of Liquidation.
