Chen's Corrected Sales and Resulting Ownership in Virtus AIO Fund

According to the amended filing, James C. K. Chen, listed as a portfolio manager of the Virtus Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund, executed three separate sales of the fund's shares on August 10, 2026. The fund, traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker AIO, is a closed-end fund focused on artificial intelligence and technology opportunities. The amendment was necessitated by an error in the original filing, dated August 18, 2026, in which the transaction code was recorded as "D" rather than the correct "S," signifying an open-market sale rather than a disposition by other means.

The three corrected transactions are each coded "S" and reflect direct beneficial ownership throughout. Following the first sale of 3,853.2589 shares at $26.1208, Chen directly held 7,632 shares. After the second sale of 7,382 shares at $26.1553, his directly held position stood at 250 shares. The third and final sale of 250 shares at $26.205 reduced his directly held position to 0 shares. No derivative securities were reported in Table II of the amended filing. The amended statement was signed by Brenda DeBlasio on August 26, 2026 on behalf of the reporting person.
