DALLAS, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Highland Opportunities and Income Fund (NYSE: HFRO) ("HFRO" or the "Fund") today announced its regular monthly distribution on its common stock of $0.0385 per share.

Highland Opportunities and Income Fund launches a new $100 million, two-year share repurchase program, with $20 million to be deployed immediately. Saba Capital's activist accumulation and the buyback program create a tactical floor for HFRO's share price, narrowing the discount to NAV. HFRO's real estate-heavy, illiquid asset base poses execution and liquidity risks as buybacks shrink the portfolio and concentrate holdings.
