Director Brian S. Shlissel made an open-market purchase of 500 shares of Allspring Income Opportunities Fund (EAD) on 2026-02-27 at $6.82 per share, for a total cash outlay of $3,410.

Key Details

Context
The purchase is small in dollar terms (~$3.4k), so while purchases can be more informative than sales, the size limits the strength of any signal. This was a direct stock purchase (not an option exercise, gift, or award), and the filing shows a routine, timely disclosure rather than any complex transaction.
