AllianzGI Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund Announces Initial Monthly Distribution and Public Conference Call

The Board of Trustees of the AllianzGI Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund (the "Fund") CBH announced today that it has declared, as of August 7, 2017, the Fund's initial monthly distribution of $0.046 per common share. At the Fund's initial offering price of $10.00 per share, this monthly distribution rate represents an annualized distribution yield of approximately 5.52%.

The declaration date of the distribution will be August 7, 2017, with a payable date of September 1, 2017 to shareholders of record on August 22, 2017 with an ex-dividend date of August 18, 2017. Based on projections through the payable date, it is expected that this distribution will be comprised of net investment income.

Going forward, it is anticipated that the Fund will declare monthly distributions on the first business day of each month with a payment date on the first business day of the following month. Although it does not currently intend to do so, as portfolio and market conditions change, the distribution rate and the Fund's policy to declare distributions monthly could be changed by the Board of Trustees.

In addition, Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC ("AllianzGI U.S."), the Fund's investment manager, announces that on Monday, August 14, 2017 at 4:15pm EDT, it will hold a conference call to discuss the Fund. The conference call is open to the public and will cover the Fund's investment strategy, the current state of the market, and the portfolio management team's investment outlook.

The Fund is a registered closed-end investment company. The Fund's investment objectives are to provide a high level of income and to return at least $9.835 per common share (the original net asset value per common share before deducting offering costs of $0.02 per share) (the "Original NAV") to shareholders on or about its currently scheduled termination date of September 1, 2024. Pursuant to its limited term feature, the Fund intends, on or about September 1, 2024, to cease its investment operations, liquidate its portfolio (to the extent possible), retire or redeem any outstanding leverage facilities and distribute all its liquidated assets to its then record shareholders, unless the limited term is extended by the Fund's Board of Trustees (for up to six months) and absent Trustee and shareholder approval to amend the limited term. The objective to return the Fund's Original NAV is not an express or implied guarantee obligation of the Fund, AllianzGI U.S., the investment manager of the Fund, or any other entity, and an investor may receive less than the Original NAV upon termination of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.

AllianzGI U.S., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America, L.P., serves as the Fund's investment manager and is a member of Munich-based Allianz Group.
