Morgan Willard Grants Power of Attorney for Section 16 Filings to PIMCO Attorneys

Morgan Willard, Assistant Secretary of PIMCO Income Strategy Fund (PFL), has executed a comprehensive Power of Attorney authorizing four PIMCO attorneys to file Section 16 reports on his behalf. The document grants authority to Keisha L. Audain-Pressley, Katie DeFriese, Ryan Leshaw, and Keri Nakawatase to prepare and submit Forms 3, 4, and 5 with the SEC for Willard's holdings in 21 PIMCO funds. The power of attorney covers all securities transactions requiring Section 16 reporting and includes authority to obtain electronic filing codes. The arrangement is designed to facilitate compliance with SEC reporting requirements while noting that the attorneys are not assuming Willard's personal compliance responsibilities. The document remains in effect until Willard is no longer required to file Section 16 reports for the covered funds.
