This press release is not for tax reporting purposes but is being
provided to announce the amount of the Fund’s distributions that have
been declared by the Board of Directors. In early 2020, after definitive
information is available, the Fund will send shareholders a Form
1099-DIV, if applicable, specifying how the distributions paid by the
Fund during the prior calendar year should be characterized for purposes
of reporting the distributions on a shareholder’s tax return (e.g.,
ordinary income, long-term capital gain or return of capital).

The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment
company that is managed by Stone Harbor Investment Partners LP (“Stone
Harbor”). The Fund’s primary investment objective is to maximize total
return, which consists of income and capital appreciation on its
investments in emerging markets securities. There is no assurance
that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at
least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in
emerging markets debt, which includes fixed income securities and other
instruments, including derivatives, that are economically tied to
emerging market countries, that are denominated in the predominant
currency of the local market of an emerging market country or whose
performance is linked to those countries’ markets, currencies, economies
or ability to repay loans. The Fund normally expects to invest up to 20%
of its total assets in emerging markets equity, which includes
securities issued by either single country or regional exchange-traded
funds, common stocks, preferred stocks, other equity securities and
other instruments (including derivatives) that are economically tied to
the equity markets of emerging market countries, that are denominated in
the predominant currency of the local market of an emerging market
country or whose performance is linked or otherwise related to those
countries’ markets, currencies, or economies. A security or instrument
is economically tied to an emerging market country if it is principally
traded on the country’s securities markets or if the issuer is organized
or principally operates in the country, derives a majority of its income
from its operations within the country or has a majority of its assets
within the country.
