Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund (EOD)
Semi-Annual Report
April 30, 2026

 Notice to Shareholders
On November 13, 2025, the Fund announced a renewal of its open-market share repurchase program (the “Buyback
Program”). Under the renewed Buyback Program, the Fund may repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares in open
market transactions during the period beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2026. The Fund’s Board
of Trustees has delegated to Allspring Funds Management, LLC, the Fund’s adviser, discretion to administer the Buyback
Program, including the determination of the amount and timing of repurchases in accordance with the best interests of
the Fund and subject to applicable legal limitations.
The Fund’s managed distribution plan provides for the declaration of quarterly distributions to common shareholders of
the Fund at an annual minimum fixed rate of 9% based on the Fund’s average monthly net asset value per share over the
prior 12 months. Under the managed distribution plan, quarterly distributions may be sourced from income, paid-in
capital, and/or capital gains, if any. To the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the
Fund may distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to its shareholders in order to maintain its managed
distribution level. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the
Fund’s distributions or from the terms of the managed distribution plan. Shareholders may elect to reinvest distributions
received pursuant to the managed distribution plan in the Fund under the existing dividend reinvestment plan, which is
described later in this report.

Investment objective
The Funds primary investment objective is to seek a high level of current income. The Funds secondary
objective is long-term growth of capital.
Strategy summary
The Fund allocates its assets between two separate investment strategies, or sleeves. Under normal market
conditions, the Fund allocates approximately 80% of its total assets to an equity sleeve comprised primarily
of common stocks and other equity securities that offer above-average potential for current and/or future
dividends. This sleeve normally invests in approximately 60 to 80 securities, broadly diversified among
major sectors and regions. The sector and region weights are typically within+/- 5 percent of weights in
the MSCI ACWI (Net). The remaining approximately 20% of the Funds total assets is allocated to a sleeve
consisting of below investment grade (high yield) debt, loans, and preferred stocks. The Fund also employs
an option strategy in an attempt to generate gains on call options written by the Fund.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Performance figures of the Fund do not reflect brokerage commissions that a shareholder would pay on the purchase and sale of shares. If taxes and such brokerage commissions had been reflected, performance would have been lower. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call 1-800-222-8222.
Please keep in mind that high double-digit returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions. You should not expect that such favorable returns can be consistently achieved. A fund’s performance, especially for short time periods, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decision.
The Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the six months ended April 30, 2026, was 2.08% which includes 0.89% of dividends on securities sold short and interest expense.

Total returns based on market value are calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the first day and a sale on the last day of the period reported. Total returns
based on NAV are calculated based on the NAV at the beginning of the period and at the end of the period. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for the purposes
of these calculations to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

Risk summary
Shares of this closed-end fund are only available for purchase and sale at the current market price on the stock exchange on which it is listed. Shares of the Fund may trade at either a premium or discount relative to the Fund’s net asset value, and there can be no assurance that any discount will decrease. The values of, and/or the income generated by, securities held by the Fund may decline due to general market conditions or other factors, including those directly involving the issuers of such securities. Equity securities fluctuate in value in response to factors specific to the issuer of the security. Small- and mid-cap securities may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines and limited financial resources compared with their large-cap counterparts and, as a result, small- and mid-cap securities may decline significantly in market downturns and may be more volatile than those of larger companies due to their higher risk of failure. Debt securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk, and high-yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality have a much greater risk of default and their values tend to be more volatile than higher-rated securities with similar maturities. Foreign investments may contain more risk due to the inherent risks associated with changing political climates, foreign market instability, and foreign currency fluctuations. Risks of foreign investing are magnified in emerging or developing markets. Derivatives involve risks, including interest rate risk, credit risk, the risk of improper valuation, and the risk of noncorrelation to the relevant instruments they are designed to hedge or closely track. There are numerous risks associated with transactions in options on securities and/or indexes. As a writer of an index call option, the Fund forgoes the opportunity to profit from increases in the values of securities held by the Fund. However, the Fund has retained the risk of loss (net of premiums received) should the price of the Fund’s portfolio securities decline. Similar risks are involved with writing call options or secured put options on individual securities and/or indexes held in the Fund’s portfolio. This combination of potentially limited appreciation and potentially unlimited depreciation over time may lead to a decline in the net asset value of the Fund. The Fund is leveraged through a revolving credit facility and also may incur leverage by issuing preferred shares in the future. The use of leverage results in certain risks, including, among others, the likelihood of greater volatility of the net asset value and the market value of common shares.

MANAGERS DISCUSSION
Overview
The Fund’s return based on market value was 15.06% for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2026. During the same period, the Fund’s return based on its net asset value (NAV) was 10.75%. Based on both its market value and NAV return, the Fund outperformed the Global Dividend Opportunity Blended Index, which returned 6.73% for the period.
Global equities were mixed to end 2025 and begin 2026.
Global equity returns were volatile over the six months that ended April 30, 2026, as financial markets carried forward strong momentum from late 2025 to early 2026, were disrupted by volatile geopolitical headlines related to the conflict in the Middle East, and then sharply rebounded in April. For the past six months, international value stocks outperformed growth stocks by 10.2%, with the MSCI ACWI Value Index* gaining 13.0% and the MSCI ACWI Growth Index** returning 2.8%. The Fund’s equity sleeve historically has outperformed the benchmark MSCI ACWI (Net) when value outperforms growth, as occurred over the trailing six-month period.
Annualized gross domestic product (GDP) in the G20 (Group of Twenty) area expanded by 3.4% during the fourth quarter of 2025, ticking up slightly from the 3.1% growth of the prior quarter. Economic growth rebounded sharply in Japan and Mexico, and activity strengthened in Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, and Italy. In contrast, Canada’s and Korea’s economies contracted, while growth slowed in the United States, Turkey, France, and India. U.S. real GDP growth slowed sharply during the fourth quarter, expanding at a 0.7% annualized rate, a steep deceleration from the prior quarter’s robust 4.4% GDP growth. The slowdown reflected weaker exports, a moderation in consumer spending, and a pronounced decline in government spending, largely attributed to the quarter’s record-long federal government shutdown. U.S. consumer confidence deteriorated during the first quarter, with rising energy prices, tariff-related concerns, and higher inflation expectations weighing heavily on sentiment.
In March, the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) left the federal funds rate unchanged at a 3.50-3.75% target range, signaling a continued “high-rate stalemate” as policymakers balanced steady but moderating growth against persistent inflation and a cooling labor market. The cautious global economic outlook prompted several major central banks to keep policy rates steady during the first quarter. The Bank of England maintained its policy rate at 3.75%, China maintained the base interest rate on one-year loans at 3.0%, the European Central Bank kept its policy rate at 2.0%, and the Bank of Japan held its policy rate at 0.75%.
To deliver a higher dividend relative to the benchmark, the equity sleeve has greater exposure to dividend payers and less exposure to growth
companies that do not pay dividends. The equity sleeve was overweight in Europe and Latin America as these regions have more stocks that pay a higher dividend. The equity sleeve was underweight the North American and Asia Pacific ex Japan markets. The strategy maintains an overweight to the financials, real estate, and utilities sectors while it is underweight the industrials, communications services, and materials sectors.

The equity sleeve benefited from stock selection within financials, health care, and utilities.
Positive stock selection within the financials sector contributed to significant returns for the portfolio. Plus500 Ltd., surged 49%, while Citigroup, Inc. and Virtu Financial, Inc. returned 27% and 44%, respectively. Two health care holdings, Merck & Co., Inc.*** and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., generated strong earnings and returned 42% and 34%, respectively. Within utilities, Engie SA and UGI Corp.*** rallied 46% and 11%, respectively. The equity sleeve also benefited from an underweight to consumer staples.

Stock selection within consumer discretionary, information technology, and materials detracted from relative performance.
Negative stock selection within consumer discretionary detracted from performance over the period. Specifically, Sony Group Corp. and Booking Holdings, Inc. sold off 28% and 17%, respectively. Two holdings within IT fell over the course of the quarter: Atlassian Corp. declined 57% and Pegasystems, Inc. fell 38%. The portfolio’s underweight to the industrials sector also detracted from performance.
The global economy is volatile and uncertain.
As we began 2026, global equity markets were balancing the line between bullish optimism and growing investor caution. U.S. stocks hovered near record highs, supported by resilient corporate earnings, sustained momentum in artificial intelligence (AI) innovation, and improving visibility about monetary policy. Despite this positive backdrop, investors remained vigilant about persistent inflation, tariff risks, margin pressures, and signs of labor market weakness.
During the first quarter, concerns emerged around the scale and sustainability of AI-related capital spending, particularly as continued datacenter expansion coincided with rising energy costs and heightened scrutiny of capital intensity, financing structures, and return on invested capital. January’s geopolitical uncertainty rattled markets as the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Maduro and tensions flared between the U.S. and NATO allies over tariff threats and President Trump’s bid to acquire Greenland. Volatility spiked even further in March as military conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran pushed commodity prices higher and triggered a risk-off response across financial markets.
Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026, we anticipate volatile and range-bound market conditions in the near term as investors weigh moderating growth, restrictive financial conditions, fiscal challenges, and geopolitical tensions against durable secular tailwinds. Structural themes such as AI adoption, datacenter expansion, electrification, grid modernization, and infrastructure resilience remain firmly intact and continue to attract long-term capital despite periodic market dislocations. We believe this environment will continue to create opportunities to invest in high-quality businesses with strong fundamentals at reasonable valuations. We will continue to diligently focus on company fundamentals and disciplined portfolio risk management while neutralizing our exposures to
macroeconomic and geopolitical risks where possible.

Figures represent the percentage of the Funds long-term investments.
Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date

The Fund’s option overlay detracted from performance.
The option overlay* is a short-call strategy written on a portion of the Fund’s global equity allocation. The combined global equity and short option portfolio creates a global covered call portfolio. Over the long run, a covered call strategy aims to add yield and lower risk compared with a passive allocation to equity. The option overlay is expected to add value in flat-to-down global equity markets and in above-average volatility environments.
Global equity markets were volatile, but positive during this six-month period with the MSCI ACWI (Net) returning 7.75%. The performance in

The option overlay is compared with the option-only returns of the U.S.-based covered call benchmarks, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) S&P 500 Buy Write (BXM) Index and the CBOE S&P 500 2% OTM Buy Write (BXY) Index. The BXM is a benchmark index designed to track the performance of a hypothetical buy-write strategy on the S&P 500 Index. The BXY Index is a new index that uses the same methodology as BXM, but is calculated using out-of-the-money S&P 500 Index (SPX) call options, rather than at-the-money SPX call options. We adjust the benchmarks to assume 50% written on equity and report only the option return. The unadjusted BXM Index and BXY Index returned 6.85% and 5.95%, respectively, from October 31, 2025 to April 30, 2026. You cannot invest directly in an index.

equities caused option-implied volatility, as measured by the VIX Index*, to be mixed over the six-month period. The VIX Index was relatively steady early in the period, largely attributed to strong equity market performance and limited macroeconomic surprises. During the first quarter of 2026, the VIX rose as equity markets rotated away from the AI theme and geopolitical conflict arose in the Middle East. Following the first-quarter decline, equity markets sharply rebounded in April, as the MSCI ACWI (Net) posted a 10.2% return, and the VIX fell. The option overlay detracted from
the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the period.
Credit quality as of April 30, 20261
1
The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is
based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service,
and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying
holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the
portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the
market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was
rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by
two of the three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated
by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s
rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D
(lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus
(+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories.
Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from
SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of
bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be
modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show
relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the
creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from
MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of
bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution
is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
U.S. economy slowed modestly amid elevated policy uncertainty.
Over the past six months, U.S. economic growth slowed but remained resilient, continuing to grow near its longer-run trend, while inflation remained above the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) target. Following three rate cuts totaling 75 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%), in the second half of 2025, the Fed held policy rates steady during the period as it evaluated progress on inflation and broader economic conditions. The U.S. labor market showed signs of gradual cooling but remained resilient, supported by solid household balance sheets. Policy uncertainty stayed elevated as trade, fiscal, and regulatory initiatives evolved, while ongoing geopolitical
tensions in the Middle East contributed to periodic market volatility and heightened risk sensitivity.
In the six-month period that ended April 30, 2026, the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Constrained Index returned 2.31%, driven by coupon income. Credit spreads began the period at relatively tight levels, limiting the scope for broad-based compression. CCC-rated bonds underperformed BB- and B-rated credits, largely reflecting weakness in the distressed segment of the CCC cohort, which weighed on overall returns. While default rates remained manageable, pockets of stress persisted among issuers with high leverage, near-term maturities, or weaker free cash flow generation.
The high yield sleeve moved up the credit rating spectrum.
Over the past six months, the high yield sleeve increased its allocation to higher-quality credits by adding exposure to BBB-rated bonds while reducing allocations to lower-rated cohorts. During the period, the sleeve increased exposure to the insurance and banking sectors and reduced exposure to the communications and electric sectors.
High yield sleeve outperformance was driven by security selection.
The Fund’s high yield sleeve outperformed the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Constrained Index in the six-month period that ended April 30, 2026, driven by positive security selection. Enviva, Inc. and Multi-Color Corp.** added the most to relative performance, while Paramount Global and Cornerstone Building Brands, Inc.** detracted the most from performance. Among sectors, an underweight to capital goods and overweight to utilities were most additive to relative performance while an underweight
to energy and an overweight to banking were most detrimental.

2026, the Fund had approximately 13.6% leverage as a percentage of total assets.
Higher-quality high yield credits are expected to weather uncertainty.
While overall issuer fundamentals remain relatively healthy, leverage and coverage metrics have begun to modestly weaken. The outlook for high yield remains constructive, although this is reflected in tight spreads.
Fiscal stimulus is expected to support economic growth, offset by higher gasoline prices and a likely pause in further rate cuts. At the same time, accelerating investment in AI-related infrastructure should continue to underpin growth into 2027, despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty surrounding Iran. Absolute yields remain attractive relative to history, supporting the potential for income-driven returns even amid volatility. We believe disciplined security selection will be essential in navigating this phase of the cycle.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Notes to financial statements
1.ORGANIZATION
Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 21, 2006 and is registered as a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Equity securities and exchange-traded funds that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price.
The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Valuation Committee at Allspring Funds Management, LLC (“Allspring Funds Management”).
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign securities are traded, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, then fair value pricing procedures implemented by Allspring Funds Management are applied. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Foreign securities that are fair valued under these procedures are categorized as Level 2 and the application of these procedures may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. Depending on market activity, such fair valuations may be frequent. Such fair value pricing may result in net asset values that are higher or lower than net asset values based on the last reported sales price or latest quoted bid price. On April 30, 2026, such fair value pricing was used in pricing certain foreign securities.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g., taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Valuation Committee at Allspring Funds Management.
Options that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the closing mid-price. Non-listed options are valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies (other than those listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market) are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by Allspring Funds Management, which was named the valuation designee by the Board of Trustees. As the valuation designee, Allspring Funds Management is responsible for day-to-day valuation activities for the Allspring Funds. In connection with these responsibilities, Allspring Funds Management has established a Valuation Committee and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of Allspring Funds Managements process for determining the fair value of the portfolio of investments.
Foreign currency translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at  rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Valuation Committee. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are converted at the rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually paid or received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities resulting from changes in exchange rates. The changes in net assets arising from
Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund | 29

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
changes in exchange rates of securities and the changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities are not separately presented. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Funds commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Loans
The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders by corporate or other borrowers. The loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. Investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When the Fund purchases participations, it generally has no rights to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan and may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. Loans may include fully funded term loans or unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments represent the remaining obligation of the Fund to the borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the borrower may demand the unfunded portion. Unfunded amounts, if any, are marked to market and any unrealized gains or losses are recorded in the Statement of assets and liabilities.
Forward foreign currency contracts
A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund enters into forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate and marked-to-market daily. When the contracts are closed, realized gains and losses arising from such transactions are recorded as realized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund is subject to foreign currency risk and may be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. The Funds maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized gains on the contracts. This risk may be mitigated if there is a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty.
Options
The Fund may write covered call options or secured put options on individual securities and/or indexes. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option. Premiums received from written options that expire unexercised are recognized as realized gains on the expiration date. For exercised options, the difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as a realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in calculating the realized gain or loss on the sale. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost of the security purchased. The Fund, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security and/or index underlying the written option.
The Fund may sell a security it does not own as a result of an exercised written call option. The Fund records the proceeds as a liability which is marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or an independent broker-dealer and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Any interest or dividends accrued on such securities during the period are recorded as an expense on the Statement of operations. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the closing of a short sale if the market price at the closing is less than or greater than, respectively, the proceeds originally received.
The Fund may also purchase call or put options. Premiums paid are included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as investments, the values of which are subsequently adjusted based on the current market values of the options. Premiums paid for purchased options that expire are recognized as realized losses on the expiration date. Premiums paid for purchased options that are exercised or closed are added to the amount paid or offset against the proceeds received for the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to the premium paid.
Options traded on an exchange are regulated and terms of the options are standardized. The Fund is subject to equity price risk. Purchased options traded over-the-counter expose the Fund to counterparty risk in the event the counterparty does not perform. This risk can be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. 
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
30 | Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased.  If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status. Paydown gains and losses are included in interest income.
Interest earned on cash balances held at the custodian is recorded as interest income.
Distributions received from REIT investments may be characterized as ordinary income, capital gains, or a return of capital to the Fund based on information provided by the REIT. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, estimates may be used in reporting the character of income and distributions for financial statement purposes.
Distributions to shareholders
Under a managed distribution plan, the Fund pays quarterly distributions to shareholders at an annual minimum fixed rate of 9.00% based on the Fund’s average monthly net asset value per share over the prior 12 months. The quarterly distributions may be sourced from income, paid-in capital, and/or capital gains, if any. To the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Fund may distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital, if any, in order to maintain its managed distribution level.
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns, as applicable, for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of April 30, 2026, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $253,553,315 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains
$99,053,183
Gross unrealized losses
(13,804,663
)
Net unrealized gains
$85,248,520
As of October 31, 2025, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $123,276,416 in short-term capital losses.
3.FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) 
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund did not have any interfund transactions during the six months ended April 30, 2026.
5.CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares with no par value. For the six months ended April 30, 2026 and year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund did not issue any shares.
Under an open-market share repurchase program (the “Buyback Program”), the Fund is authorized to repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares in open market transactions. The Fund’s Board of Trustees has delegated to Allspring Funds Management full discretion to administer the Buyback Program including the determination of the amount and timing of repurchases in accordance with the best interests of the Fund and subject to applicable legal limitations. During the six months ended April 30, 2026 and year ended October 31, 2025,, the Fund did not repurchase any of its shares under the open-market share repurchase program.     
6.BORROWINGS
The Fund has borrowed $47,500,000 through a revolving line of credit administered by a major financial institution (the “Facility”). The Facility has a commitment amount of up to $47,500,000. The Fund is charged interest at the 1 Month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a spread and a commitment fee based on the unutilized amount of the commitment amount. The financial institution holds a security interest in all the assets of the Fund as collateral for the borrowing. Based on the nature of the terms of the Facility and comparative market rates, the carrying amount of the borrowings at April 30, 2026 approximates its fair value. If measured at fair value, the borrowings would be categorized as a Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.  
During the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Fund had average borrowings outstanding of $47,500,000 (on an annualized basis) at an average interest rate of 4.53% and recorded interest in the amount of $1,066,909, which represents 0.77% of its average daily net assets (on an annualized basis). The maximum balance outstanding during the six months ended April 30, 2026 was $47,500,000.
7.INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

For certain types of derivative transactions, the Fund has entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar agreements with approved counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities or cash to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows the Fund to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearinghouse for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statement of assets and liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statement of assets and liabilities to the net amounts by counterparty, including any collateral exposure, for OTC derivatives is as follows:

9.INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Funds organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated. 
10.OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Fund operates as a single operating segment. An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The President of the Fund acts as the Funds CODM. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Funds long-term strategic asset allocation from which it derives its revenues is determined as outlined in the Funds prospectus which is executed by the Funds portfolio management team. The portfolio composition, total return and expense ratios, and the components of total increase/decrease in net assets are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance and to make resource allocation decisions for the Funds single segment. This information is consistent with that presented within the Funds financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of assets and liabilities as “total assets” and significant segment revenue and expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of operations.
11.SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS

Quarterly portfolio holdings information
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT. Shareholders may view the filed Form N-PORT by visiting the SEC website at sec.gov.
Delaware statutory trust act – control share acquisitions
Because the Fund is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, it is subject to the control share acquisition statute (the “Control Share Statute”) contained in Subchapter III of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “DSTA”), which became automatically applicable to listed closed-end funds, such as the Fund, upon its effective date of August 1, 2022 (the “Effective Date”).
The Control Share Statute provides for a series of voting power thresholds above which shares are considered control shares. The first such threshold is 10% or more, but less than 15%, of all voting power. Voting power is defined by the Control Share Statute as the power to directly or indirectly exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of Fund shares in the election of trustees. Whether a voting power threshold is met is determined by aggregating the holdings of the acquirer as well as those of its “associates,” as defined by the Control Share Statute.
Once a threshold is reached, an acquirer has no voting rights under the DSTA or the governing documents of the Fund with respect to shares acquired in excess of that threshold (i.e., the “control shares”) unless approved by shareholders or exempted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Approval by shareholders requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares held by the acquirer and its associates as well as shares held by certain insiders of the Fund. The Control Share Statute provides procedures for an acquirer to request a shareholder meeting for the purpose of considering whether voting rights shall be accorded to control shares. Further approval by the Fund’s shareholders would be required with respect to additional acquisitions of control shares above the next applicable threshold level. In addition, the Fund’s Board of Trustees is permitted, but not obligated to, exempt specific acquisitions or classes of acquisitions of control shares, either in advance or retroactively.
The Control Share Statute does not retroactively apply to acquisitions of shares that occurred prior to the Effective Date. However, such shares will be aggregated with any shares acquired after the Effective Date for purposes of determining whether a voting power threshold is exceeded, resulting in the newly acquired shares constituting control shares.
Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund | 35

Other information (unaudited)
The Control Share Statute requires shareholders to disclose to the Fund any control share acquisition within 10 days of such acquisition and, upon request, to provide any information that the Fund’s Board of Trustees reasonably believes is necessary or desirable to determine whether a control share acquisition has occurred.
The foregoing is only a summary of certain aspects of the Control Share Statute. Shareholders should consult their own legal counsel to determine the application of the Control Share Statute with respect to their shares of the Fund and any subsequent acquisitions of shares.

All common shareholders are eligible to participate in the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“the Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, unless a common shareholder is ineligible or elects otherwise, all cash dividends and capital gains distributions are automatically reinvested by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as agent for shareholders in administering the Plan (“Plan Agent”), in additional common shares of the Fund. Whenever the Fund declares an ordinary income dividend or a capital gain dividend (collectively referred to as “dividends”) payable either in shares or in cash, nonparticipants in the Plan will receive cash, and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The shares are acquired by the Plan Agent for the participant’s account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“newly issued common shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open-market (open-market purchases) on the NYSE Amex or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per share of the common shares is equal to or less than the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (“market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the amount of such dividend in newly issued shares on behalf of the participant. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to the participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per share on the date the shares are issued, provided that the maximum discount from the then current market price per share on the date of issuance may not exceed 5%. If on the dividend payment date the net asset value per share is greater than the market value (“market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participant in open-market purchases. There will be no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of dividends payable either in shares or in cash. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends. The automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at P.O. Box 505000, Louisville, Kentucky 40233 or by calling 1-800-730-6001.
