NEW YORK, Oct 1, 2008 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- RCS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The Boards of Trustees of PIMCO Corporate Income Fund (NYSE:PCN), PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund (NYSE:PTY), PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (NYSE:PGP), PIMCO High Income Fund (NYSE:PHK), PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund (NYSE:PKO), PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (NYSE:RCS) and PCM Fund, Inc. (NYSE:PCM), (collectively, the "Funds") announced today that they have declared the following dividends on the Funds' common shares:

The dividends will be payable on November 3, 2008 to shareholders of record on October 11, 2008, with an ex-dividend date of October 8, 2008.

With respect to PKO, based on projections through the payable date, it is expected that this distribution will be comprised of net investment income, as well as net gains from the sale of portfolio securities and other sources. PKO will provide a notice accompanying each monthly distribution with respect to the estimated source of the distribution made, which could be from net income, gains and/or return of capital, and will indicate the proportion of its capital gain distributions that constitute short-term and long-term gains annually.

At September 30, 2008, the Funds' net assets were approximately:

(in millions) PIMCO Corporate Income Fund (a) $652.8 PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund (a) $1,232.8 PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund $159.0 PIMCO High Income Fund (a) $1,896.3 PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund $292.9 PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. $333.8 PCM Fund, Inc. $99.9 (a) Net assets are inclusive of market value of Preferred Shares of $300 million, $565 million and $900 million for PCN, PTY and PHK, respectively.

The Funds are closed-end management investment companies. The primary objective of PCN is to seek high current income with secondary objectives of capital preservation and appreciation. The investment objective of PTY is to seek maximum total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The primary objective of PGP is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. PHK's primary objective is to seek high current income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. PKO's investment objective is to seek current income as a primary focus and also capital appreciation. RCS's primary objective is to generate a level of income higher than that generated by high-quality, intermediate-term U.S. debt securities, with a secondary objective of seeking to maintain volatility in the net asset value of its shares comparable to that of high-quality, intermediate-term U.S. debt securities. PCM seeks high current income as a primary objective and capital gains as a secondary objective. There can be no assurance the Funds will meet their objectives.

Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P., serves as the Funds' investment manager and is a member of Munich-based Allianz Group (NYSE:AZ). Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, an Allianz Global Investors Fund Management affiliate, serves as the Funds' sub-adviser.
