Morgan Willard Grants Power of Attorney for Section 16 Filings Across 21 PIMCO Funds

Morgan Willard, Assistant Secretary of PIMCO Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (RCS), has executed a comprehensive Power of Attorney authorizing four designated PIMCO attorneys-in-fact to handle Section 16 reporting obligations. The document grants authority to prepare and file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with the SEC on Willard's behalf for 21 different PIMCO funds and business development companies. The appointed attorneys include Keisha L. Audain-Pressley (Chief Compliance Officer), Katie DeFriese (Senior Compliance Officer), Ryan Leshaw (Chief Legal Officer), and Keri Nakawatase (Counsel). The Power of Attorney, executed on June 4, 2026, remains in effect until Willard is no longer required to file Section 16 reports for these funds. This arrangement streamlines compliance reporting for multiple PIMCO entities while explicitly noting that the attorneys-in-fact are not assuming Willard's personal compliance responsibilities under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
