EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 492 to the Registration Statement of PIMCO Funds (the “Trust” or the “Registrant”) on Form N-1A (File No. 811-05028) (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed to make changes to the Offering Memoranda and Offering Memorandum Supplements of the Trust’s Private Account Portfolio Series and Private Account Portfolio Series: Sector Portfolios (the “Private Account Portfolio Series”), respectively, each dated August 1, 2022, as amended.

Shares of the Private Account Portfolio Series may also be purchased by certain investors outside of the United States consistent with applicable regulatory requirements. This Amendment is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to buy, any security to the public within the meaning of the 1933 Act.

Item 30. Indemnification
Reference is made to Article IV of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, which was filed with the Registrant’s Post-Effective Amendment No. 265 on November 7, 2014.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Declaration of Trust or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by trustees, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers or controlling persons in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.
