DWS Municipal Income Trust (NYSE: KTF) (the “Fund”) announced today that the Board of Trustees has approved the termination of the Fund, pursuant to which the Fund will make a liquidating distribution to shareholders no later than November 30, 2026. The Fund also announced that it is increasing its monthly distribution rate to an annualized distribution rate of at least 7% based on KTF’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of the then current distribution declaration date. The distribution rate increase will be implemented starting with KTF’s next monthly dividend scheduled to be announced on or about April 8, 2024. The annualized distribution rate target of at least 7% will remain in effect until the termination of KTF; provided that under certain limited circumstances, the monthly distribution amount may be reduced below the annualized distribution rate target of at least 7%.

DWS Municipal Income Trust (KTF) (the “Fund”) announced today an increase to the Fund’s current monthly distribution rate by approximately 25% from $0.029 to $0.035 per share or approximately a 4.20% annualized distribution rate based on the Fund’s net asset value as of February 26, 2024. This increase is intended to help support secondary market trading in Fund shares and improve the Fund’s discount to net asset value. It is anticipated that to maintain the increased distribution rate, the Fund may ultimately make distributions from sources other than the current net investment income of the Fund, including a return of capital. The increase in the current distribution rate will be implemented with the Fund’s next monthly dividend scheduled to be announced on or about March 8, 2024.
