BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. Announces Results of the Stockolder Meeting Relating to the Reorganization of BNY Mellon Municipal Income, Inc. With and Into a BNY Mellon Municipal Open-End Fund

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. announced today that, at a special meeting of stockholders of BNY Mellon Municipal Income, Inc. (the "Fund"), a registered closed-end fund, stockholders approved the reorganization of the Fund with and into BNY Mellon AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), a series of BNY Mellon Municipal Funds, Inc., a registered open-end fund. As previously announced, the reorganization was approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund in response to stockholders' approval of a non-binding proposal that the Fund's Board of Directors consider measures to allow stockholders to "monetize" their shares of the Fund's common stock at or close to net asset value.

The Fund's shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "DMF." It is currently expected that the Fund's shares of common stock will stop trading on, and will be delisted from, the NYSE on or about June 18, 2025, and the reorganization of the Fund will occur on or about June 20, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

In addition, as previously announced, the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan (the "DRP") will terminate effective June 6, 2025, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the DRP. As a result, the DRP will not be available for distributions by the Fund after June 6, 2025.
