Neuberger High Yield Strategies Fund Announces Increase in Leverage

NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- High Yield Strategies Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NHS) (the "Fund") announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a $25 million increase in the committed debt financing available under its revolving debt financing facility ("Revolving Loan Facility") with a major unaffiliated financial institution, as well as the issuance of $10 million in additional Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series D ("Series D Preferred Shares"), in each case subject to completion of documentation and customary closing conditions. The Fund anticipates finalizing the amendment to Revolving Loan Facility and issuing the Series D Preferred Shares within the next week. Following the amendment to the Revolving Loan Facility and the issuance of additional Series D Preferred Shares, the Fund will have access to committed debt financing of up to $135 million under the Revolving Loan Facility and will have $50 million in Series D Preferred Shares outstanding. 

The amended leverage arrangements would increase the total amount of leverage available to the Fund to bring it more in line with the Fund's current asset level following completion of the Fund's transferable rights offering earlier this year.
