Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC and Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC are continually updating and expanding shareholder information services on the Trust’s website in an ongoing effort to provide you with the most current information about how your Trust’s assets are managed and the results of our efforts. It is just one more small way we are working to keep you better informed about your investment in the Trust.


DEAR SHAREHOLDER (Unaudited)	May 31, 2026

We thank you for your investment in the Guggenheim Taxable Municipal Bond & Investment Grade Debt Trust (the “Trust”). This report covers the Trust’s performance for the 12-month period ended May 31, 2026 (the “Reporting Period”).

To learn more about the Trust’s performance and investment strategy, we encourage you to read the Economic and Market Overview and the Management’s Discussion of Trust Performance, which begin on page 5. There you will find information on Guggenheim’s views on the economy and market environment, and information about the factors that materially impacted the Trust’s performance during the Reporting Period.

The Trust’s primary investment objective is to provide current income with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation.

All Trust returns cited—whether based on net asset value (“NAV”) or market price— assume the reinvestment of all distributions. For the Reporting Period, the Trust provided a total return based on market price of 4.63% and a total return based on NAV of 8.19%. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Trust’s market price of $14.12 per share represented a discount of 2.69% to its NAV of $14.51 per share.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. All NAV returns include the deduction of management fees, operating expenses, and all other Trust expenses. The market price of the Trust’s shares fluctuates from time to time, and it may be higher or lower than the Trust’s NAV.

During the Reporting Period, the Trust paid a monthly distribution of $0.12573 per share. The most recent distribution represents an annualized distribution rate of 10.69% based on the Trust’s closing market price of $14.12 per share at the end of the Reporting Period.

The Trust’s distribution rate is not constant and the amount of distributions, when declared by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, is subject to change. There is no guarantee of any future distribution or that the current returns and distribution rate will be maintained. Please see the Distributions to Shareholders & Annualized Distribution Rate table on page 17, and Note 2(g) on page 67 for more information on distributions for the period.

We encourage shareholders to consider the opportunity to reinvest their distributions from the Trust through the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”), which is described on page 119 of this report. When shares trade at a discount to NAV, the DRIP takes advantage of the discount by reinvesting the monthly dividend distribution in common shares of the Trust purchased in the market at a price less than NAV. Conversely, when the market price of the Trust’s common shares is at

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l³


DEAR SHAREHOLDER (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

a premium above NAV, the DRIP reinvests participants’ dividends in newly issued common shares at the greater of NAV per share or 95% of the market price per share. The DRIP provides a cost-effective means to accumulate additional shares and enjoy the benefits of compounding returns over time. The DRIP effectively provides an income averaging technique for shareholders to accumulate a larger number of Trust shares when the market price is depressed than when the price is higher.

We appreciate your investment and look forward to serving your investment needs in the future. For the most up-to-date information on your investment, please visit the Trust’s website at guggenheiminvestments.com/gbab.

Sincerely,

Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW (Unaudited)	May 31, 2026

The U.S. economy is reaching the halfway point of 2026 with its resilience intact. We see real gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth holding around 2%, underpinned by robust artificial intelligence (“AI”) capital expenditures and near-term fiscal tailwinds. Consumer spending faces some headwinds from cooling incomes and still elevated gasoline prices, but the labor market has improved, and wealth effects continue to support upper income cohorts. Inflation has been hot, though we believe that cooler readings later in the year could allow the Fed to remain on hold as the pass-through effect of tariffs and higher energy prices to consumer prices fades.

Against this constructive baseline, we see notable risks. First, the Federal Open Market Committee has indicated a willingness to hike rates should inflationary pressure fail to abate later this year, which is a risk if accelerating AI-driven demand drives further price increases or the recently announced agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz falters. Second, while the economy has shown remarkable resilience in recent years, any disruption to the AI investment thesis could present a downside risk, in particular to consumer spending which has been supported by accumulated wealth.

Although the range of potential outcomes is relatively wide, in our baseline outlook, the backdrop for U.S. fixed income is stable. Absent a shock to growth or inflation expectations, we expect 10-year Treasury yields to continue trading in a range that offers a combination of attractive income and diversification. Strong earnings growth is supporting corporate fundamentals, which helps contain spread widening from rising AI-related issuance. Still, with spreads generally tight, we are looking to less crowded sectors and relying on rigorous credit selection to seek to guard against downside risk.

The opinions and forecasts expressed may not actually come to pass. This information is subject to change at any time, based on market and other conditions, and should not be construed as a recommendation of any specific security or strategy.

What factors materially contributed to or detracted from the Trust’s performance during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Trust saw positive absolute performance and relative performance at NAV versus the Bloomberg Taxable Municipal Index. Earned income contributed the most to both absolute and relative performance as the Trust continued to prioritize higher-quality credits with attractive income/yield profiles. Credit spreads also contributed to both absolute and relative performance as spreads on the Bloomberg Taxable Municipal and Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Bond Indices tightened by 21 basis points and 16 basis points, respectively.² One basis point represents 0.01%.

Relative performance was driven by tightening in the Trust’s out-of-benchmark allocations to investment-grade credit sectors, asset-backed securities, and high yield corporates. Duration detracted from both absolute and relative return due to the Trust’s overweight duration positioning as the yield curve bear flattened over the Reporting Period following the onset of the Strait of Hormuz closure in March, with 2-year Treasury yields rising by 11 basis points and 30-year Treasury yields rising by 4 basis points.²

Discuss the Trust’s Use of Leverage

At the end of the Reporting Period, the Trust’s leverage was approximately 28% of Managed Assets, compared with approximately 27% at the beginning of the Reporting Period.

⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF TRUST PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

One purpose of leverage is to fund the purchase of additional securities that may provide increased income and potentially greater appreciation to common shareholders than could be achieved from an unlevered portfolio. Leverage may result in greater NAV volatility and entails more downside risk than an unleveraged portfolio.

Given positive total returns over the Reporting Period, the Trust’s use of leverage benefited performance.

Investments in Investment Funds (as defined in the Additional Information Regarding the Trust section, which begins on page 121) frequently expose the Trust to an additional layer of financial leverage and the associated risks, such as the magnified effect of any losses.

How did the Trust use derivatives during the Reporting Period?

During the Reporting Period, the Trust maintained minimal exposure to derivatives, employing them selectively for hedging and positioning purposes. Modestly sized credit default swaps were used to hedge broader credit markets, while interest rate derivative strategies provided protection against rate movements. The Trust also held interest rate futures for yield curve positioning and utilized foreign currency forwards to hedge non-USD exposures. Overall, the use of derivatives contributed modestly to the Trust's performance during the Reporting Period.

How was the Trust positioned at the end of the Reporting Period?

The Reporting Period was defined by a dramatic regime shift, as markets transitioned from a risk-on Fed easing cycle and soft-landing optimism into a stagflationary shock driven by conflict in the Middle East, before staging a powerful recovery to all-time highs by period end. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz sent crude near $120 per barrel and equities into correction in March, but a fragile U.S.–Iran ceasefire unleashed one of the strongest monthly rallies since 2020.² Against this backdrop, the Federal Reserve pivoted from cutting rates in December to facing market-implied hikes by May, long-end yields surged to levels last seen in 2007, and Kevin Warsh was confirmed as the 17th Fed Chair. Yet the rally unfolded against contradictory fundamentals — re-accelerating inflation broadening beyond energy into AI-driven goods, record-low consumer sentiment, and a softening labor market — raising questions about its sustainability.

Throughout the Reporting Period, the Trust primarily increased its exposure to Municipals, specifically in areas within the sector with the best relative value, non- agency residential mortgage-backed securities, and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). Outside of municipals, the Trust reduced exposure to investment-grade corporates, high-yield corporates, bank loans and asset-backed securities.

Index Definitions

Indices are unmanaged and reflect no expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is considered representative of the broad market for investment grade, tax-exempt municipal bonds with a maturity of at least one year.

The Bloomberg Taxable Municipal Index tracks performance of investment-grade fixed income securities issued by state and local governments whose income is not exempt from tax, issued generally to finance a project or activity that does not meet certain “public purpose/use” requirements.

The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed- rate taxable bond market, including U.S. Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities or “MBS” (agency fixed-rate and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage, or “ARM”, pass-throughs), ABS, and commercial mortgage- backed securities (“CMBS”) (agency and non-agency).

The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index measures the U.S. dollar- denominated, high yield, fixed-rate corporate bond market. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P is Ba1/BB +/BB + or below.

The S&P UBS Leveraged Loan Index is designed to mirror the investable universe of the U.S. dollar-denominated leveraged loan market.

The ICE Bank of America (“BofA”) Asset Backed Security Master BBB-AA Index is a subset of the ICE Bank of America U.S. Fixed Rate Asset Backed Securities Index including all securities rated AA1 through BBB3, inclusive.

The ICE Bank of America (“BofA”) Build America Bond Index is designed to track the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated Build America Bonds publicly issued by U.S. states and territories, and their political subdivisions, in the U.S. market.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 (“S&P 500”) Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure the performance of the broad economy, representing all major industries and is considered a representation of U.S. stock market.

Risks and Other Considerations

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers only through the report period as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time, based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation of any kind. The material may also include forward looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty, and there is no guarantee that any predictions will come to pass.

There can be no assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objectives. The net asset value and market price of the Trust’s shares will fluctuate, sometimes independently, based on market, economic, issuer-specific and other factors affecting the Trust and its investments. The market price of Trust shares will either be above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value. Although the net asset value of Trust shares is often considered in determining whether to purchase or sell Trust shares, whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of Trust shares will depend upon whether the market price of Trust shares at the time of sale is above or below the investor’s purchase price, taking into account transaction costs for the shares, and is not directly dependent upon the Trust’s net asset value. Market price movements of Trust shares are thus material to investors and may result in losses, even when net asset value has increased. The Trust is designed for long-term investors; investors should not view the Trust as a vehicle for trading purposes.

Risk is inherent in all investing, including the loss of your entire principal. Therefore, before investing you should consider the risks carefully. Investors should be aware that the Trust’s investments and a shareholder’s investment in the Trust are subject to various risk factors, including investment risk, which could result in the loss of the entire principal amount that you invest, reduced yield and/or income and sudden and substantial losses. Certain of these risk factors are described in the Additional Information Regarding the Trust section, which begins on page 121. Please see the Trust’s Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information (SAI) and guggenheiminvestments.com/gbab for additional descriptions of the risks of investing in the Trust. Shareholders also may access the Trust’s Prospectus and SAI on the EDGAR Database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

CUMULATIVE TRUST PERFORMANCE*

*    The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Trust will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains and do not reflect the effect of taxes. The Bloomberg Taxable Municipal Index is an unmanaged index and, unlike the Trust, has no management fees or operating expenses to reduce its reported return. Further, the Bloomberg Taxable Municipal Index is a broad-based index that tracks the performance of investment-grade fixed income securities issued by state and local governments whose income is not exempt from tax, issued generally to finance a project or activity that does not meet certain “public purpose/use” requirements. The Trust does not seek to achieve performance that is comparative to an index.

Significant changes in a quote, yield, liquidation value or valuation multiple would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security. Any remaining Level 3 securities held by the Trust and excluded from the table above, if any, were not considered material to the Trust.

The Trust's fair valuation leveling guidelines classify a single daily broker quote, or a vendor price based on a single daily or monthly broker quote, as Level 3, if such a quote or price cannot be supported with other available market information.

Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. For the year ended May 31, 2026, the Trust had securities with a total value of $98,109 transfer into Level 3 from Level 2 due to a lack of observable inputs and and did not have any securities to transfer out of Level 3 into Level 2.

Summary of Fair Value Level 3 Activity

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value for the year ended May 31, 2026:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	May 31, 2026

Note 1 – Organization

Guggenheim Taxable Municipal Bond & Investment Grade Debt Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 30, 2010. The Trust is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The Trust’s primary investment objective is to provide current income with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objectives. The Trust’s investment objectives are considered fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

The Trust operates as an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistently followed by the Trust. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All time references are based on Eastern Time.

(a) Valuation of Investments

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Trust’s investments (the “Trust Valuation Procedures”).

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC (“GFIA” or the “Adviser”) as the valuation designee to perform fair valuation determinations for the Trust with respect to all Trust investments and/or other assets. As the Trust’s valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Adviser has adopted separate procedures (the “Valuation Designee Procedures” and collectively with the Trust Valuation Procedures, the “Valuation Procedures”) reasonably designed to prevent violations of the requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser, in its role as valuation designee, utilizes the assistance of a valuation committee, consisting of representatives from Guggenheim's investment management, fund administration, legal and compliance departments (the “Valuation Committee”), in determining the fair value of the Trust’s securities and/or other assets. The Valuation Procedures

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l⁶¹


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

may be amended and potentially adversely affected as the Trust seeks to comply with regulations that apply to the valuation practices of registered investment companies.

Valuations of the Trust’s securities and other assets are supplied primarily by independent third-party pricing services appointed pursuant to the processes set forth in the Valuation Procedures. The Adviser, with the assistance of the Valuation Committee, convenes monthly, or more frequently as needed, to review the valuation of all assets which have been fair valued. The Adviser, consistent with the monitoring and review responsibilities set forth in the Valuation Procedures, regularly reviews the appropriateness of the inputs, methods, models and assumptions employed by the independent third-party pricing services.

If the independent third-party pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular investment or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is fair valued by the Adviser.

In general, portfolio securities and assets of the Trust will be valued on the basis of readily available market quotations at their current market value. With respect to portfolio securities and assets of the Trust for which market quotations are not readily available, or deemed unreliable by the Adviser, the Trust will fair value those securities and assets in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Valuations in accordance with these methods are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s or liability’s) “fair value”. Fair value represents a good faith approximation of the value of a security. Fair value determinations may be based on limited inputs and involve the consideration of a number of subjective factors, an analysis of applicable facts and circumstances, and the exercise of judgment. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to market prices; sale prices; broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics, or based on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over U.S. Treasury securities, and other information analysis. As a result, it is possible that the fair value for a security determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures may differ from valuations for the same security determined by other funds using their own valuation procedures. Although the Valuation Procedures are designed to value a portfolio security or asset at the price the Trust may reasonably expect to receive upon its sale in an orderly transaction, there can be no assurance that any fair value determination thereunder would, in fact, approximate the amount that the Trust could reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of the portfolio security or asset.

⁶²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Equity securities listed or traded on a recognized U.S. securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) will generally be valued on the basis of the last sale price on the primary U.S. exchange or market on which the security is listed or traded; provided, however, that securities listed on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price.

Open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) as of the close of business, on the valuation date. Exchange-traded funds and closed- end investment companies are generally valued at the last quoted sale price.

Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of foreign securities are determined as of the close of such foreign markets or the close of the NYSE, if earlier. All investments quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the close of U.S. business at 4:00 p.m. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. The Adviser will determine the current value of such foreign securities by taking into consideration certain factors which may include those discussed above, as well as the following factors, among others: the value of the securities traded on other foreign markets, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) trading, closed-end fund trading, foreign currency exchange activity, and the trading prices of financial products that are tied to foreign securities. In addition, under the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser is authorized to use prices and other information supplied by an independent third-party pricing service in valuing foreign securities.

Commercial paper and discount notes with a maturity of greater than 60 days at acquisition are valued at prices that reflect broker-dealer supplied valuations or are obtained from independent third-party pricing services, which may consider the trade activity, treasury spreads, yields or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Commercial paper and discount notes with a maturity of 60 days or less at acquisition are valued at amortized cost, unless the Adviser concludes that amortized cost does not represent the fair value of the applicable asset in which case it will be valued using an independent third-party pricing service.

U.S. Government securities are valued by independent third-party pricing services, using the last traded fill price, or at the reported bid price at the close of business on the valuation date.

CLOs, CDOs, MBS, ABS, and other structured finance securities are generally valued using an independent third-party pricing service.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l⁶³


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Typically, loans are valued using information provided by independent third-party pricing services that use broker quotes, among other inputs. If the independent third-party pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular loan, or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is valued based on a quote from a broker-dealer or is fair valued by the Adviser.

Repurchase agreements are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amounts approximate market value.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices on the principal exchange on which they are traded. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options and options on swaps (“swaptions”) are valued using a price provided by a pricing service.

Futures contracts are valued on the basis of the last sale price as of 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. In the event that the exchange for a specific futures contract closes earlier than 4:00 p.m., the futures contract is valued at the official settlement price of the exchange. However, the underlying securities from which the futures contract value is derived are monitored until 4:00 p.m. to determine if fair valuation of the underlying securities would provide a more accurate valuation of the futures contract.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency.

The Trust may also fair value securities and assets when a significant event is deemed to have occurred after the time of a market quotation including for securities and assets traded on foreign markets and securities and assets for which market quotations are provided by independent third-party pricing services as of a time that is prior to the time when the Trust determines its NAV. There can be no assurance in each case that significant events will be identified.

Valuations of the Trust’s securities and other assets are supplied primarily by independent third-party pricing services pursuant to the processes set forth in the Valuation Designee Procedures. Valuations provided by the independent third- party pricing services are generally based on methods designed to approximate the amount that the Trust could reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of the portfolio security or asset. When providing valuations to the Trust, independent third- party pricing services use various inputs, methods, models and assumptions, which may include information provided by broker-dealers and other market makers. Independent third-party pricing services face the same challenges as the Trust in valuing securities and assets and may rely on limited available information. If the independent third-party pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

a particular investment, or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is fair valued by the Adviser. The Trust may also use third-party service providers to model certain securities to determine fair market value. While the Trust’s use of fair valuation is intended to result in calculation of NAV that fairly reflects values of the Trust’s portfolio securities as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot guarantee that any fair valuation will, in fact, approximate the amount the Trust would actually realize upon the sale of the securities in question.

Quotes from broker-dealers (i.e., prices provided by a broker-dealer or other market participant, which may or may not be committed to trade at that price), adjusted for fluctuations in criteria such as credit spreads and interest rates, may also be used to value the Trust’s assets. Quotes from broker-dealers and vendor prices based on broker quotes can vary in terms of depth (e.g., provided by a single broker-dealer) and frequency (e.g., provided on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, or any other regular or irregular interval). Although quotes from broker-dealers and vendor prices based on broker quotes are typically received from established market participants, the Trust may not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support such quotes. Significant changes in a quote from a broker-dealer would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security.

(b) Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest income using the effective interest method. Interest income also includes paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and senior and subordinated loans. Amendment fees are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes to the original loan agreement.

The Trust may receive other income from investments in senior loan interests, including amendment fees, consent fees and commitment fees. For funded loans, these fees are recorded as income when received by the Trust and included in interest income on the Trust’s Statement of Operations. For unfunded loans, commitment fees are included in realized gain on investments on the Trust’s Statement of Operations at the end of the commitment period.

Income from residual collateralized loan obligations is recognized using the effective interest method. At the time of purchase, management estimates the future expected cash flows and determines the effective yield and estimated maturity date based on the estimated cash flows. Subsequent to the purchase, the estimated cash flows are updated periodically and a revised yield is calculated prospectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Senior Floating Rate Interests and Loan Investments

Senior floating rate interests in which the Trust invests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term floating rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (iii) the bank’s certificate of deposit rate, or (iv) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Senior floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities disclosed in the Trust’s Schedule of Investments.

The Trust invests in loans and other similar debt obligations (“obligations”). A portion of the Trust’s investments in these obligations is sometimes referred to as “covenant lite” loans or obligations (“covenant lite obligations”), which are obligations that lack financial maintenance covenants or possess fewer or contingent financial maintenance covenants and other financial protections for lenders and investors. The Trust may also obtain exposure to covenant lite obligations through investment in securitization vehicles and other structured products. Many new, restructured or reissued obligations have not featured traditional covenants, which are intended to protect lenders and investors by (i) imposing certain restrictions or other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets or (ii) providing certain rights to lenders. The Trust may have fewer rights with respect to covenant lite obligations, including fewer protections against the possibility of default and fewer remedies in the event of default. As a result, investments in (or exposure to) covenant lite obligations are subject to more risk than investments in (or exposure to) certain other types of obligations. The Trust is subject to other risks associated with investments in (or exposure to) obligations, including that obligations may not be considered “securities” and, as a result, the Trust may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections under the federal securities laws and instead may have to resort to state law and direct claims.

(d) Interest on When-Issued Securities

The Trust may purchase and sell interests in securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Trust on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Trust actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Trust will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, it may sell such securities before the settlement date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(e) Currency Translations

The accounting records of the Trust are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Trust. Foreign investments may also subject the Trust to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation, or other political, social, geopolitical or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.

The Trust does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions.Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(f) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The change in value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed. When the contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

(g) Distributions to Shareholders

The Trust intends to declare and pay monthly distributions to common shareholders. The Trust expects that distributions will generally consist of (i) investment company taxable income expected to be taxed as ordinary income, which includes, among other things, investment income, short-term capital gains and income from certain hedging and interest rate transactions, (ii) long-term capital gains and (iii) return of capital. Any net realized long-term capital gains are distributed annually to common shareholders. To the extent distributions exceed the amount of the Trust’s earnings and profit available for distribution, the excess will be deemed a return of capital. Distributions may be paid by the Trust from any permitted source and, from time to time, all or a portion of a distribution may be a return of capital, which is in effect a partial return of the amount a shareholder invested in the Trust. A return

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l⁶⁷


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

of capital is generally not taxable and would reduce the shareholder’s tax basis in its shares, which would reduce the loss (or increase the gain) on a subsequent taxable disposition by such shareholder of the shares, until such shareholder’s basis reaches zero at which point subsequent return of capital distributions would constitute taxable capital gain to such shareholder. Shareholders receiving a return of capital may be under the impression that they are receiving net investment income or profit when they are not.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

(h) Foreign Taxes

The Trust may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Trust invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Trust and reflected in its Statement of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments are included with the net realized gain (loss) on investments. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of May 31, 2026, if any, are disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Dividend and interest income from holdings in non-U.S. securities is recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Management has analyzed the Trust's tax positions taken on federal and applicable state income tax returns as well as its tax positions in non-U.S. jurisdictions in which it trades for the current tax year and concluded that as of May 31, 2026, no additional provisions for income tax were required in the Trust's financial statements. The Trust's tax positions for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, state departments of revenue and by foreign tax authorities. During the year ended May 31, 2026, cash paid for income taxes in foreign jurisdictions, net of refunds received, if any, was immaterial to the Trust.

(i) Restricted Cash

If the Trust receives cash collateral in connection with derivative instruments, such amount is presented on the Trust’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Segregated cash due to broker. At May 31, 2026, there was no segregated cash due to broker. A portion of the Trust’s cash has been pledged as collateral for swap agreements. This amount is presented on the Trust’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Segregated cash due from broker. At May 31, 2026, there was $72,635 of segregated cash due from broker.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(j) Swap Agreements

Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Payments received or made as a result of an agreement or termination of an agreement are recognized as realized gains or losses.

Upon entering into certain centrally-cleared swap transactions, the Trust is required to deposit with its clearing broker an amount of cash or securities as an initial margin. Subsequent variation margin receipts or payments are received or made by the Trust depending on fluctuations in the fair value of the reference asset or obligation and are recorded by the Trust as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

Upfront payments received or made by the Trust on credit default swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are amortized over the expected life of the agreement. Periodic payments received or paid by the Trust are recorded as realized gains or losses. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized, net of a proportional amount of the upfront payment, as realized gains or losses.

(k) Options

Upon the purchase of an option, the premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. If a purchased option expires, the Trust realizes a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When the Trust enters into a closing sale transaction, it realizes a gain or loss depending on whether the proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Trust exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. When the Trust exercises a call option, the cost of the security purchased by the Trust upon exercise increases by the premium originally paid.

When the Trust writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received is entered in that Trust’s accounting records as an asset and equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. When a written option expires, or if the Trust enters into a closing purchase transaction, it realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold).

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(l) Futures Contracts

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Trust deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, the Trust agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Trust as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

(m) Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees and Officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, throughout the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

(n) Special Purpose Acquisition Companies

The Trust may acquire an interest in a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) in an initial public offering or a secondary market transaction. SPAC investments carry many of the same risks as investments in initial public offering securities, such as erratic price movements, greater risk of loss, lack of information about the issuer, limited operating and little public or no trading history, and higher transaction costs. An investment in a SPAC is typically subject to a higher risk of dilution by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising existing rights to purchase shares of the SPAC and interests in SPACs may be illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. A SPAC is a publicly traded company that raises investment capital for the purpose of acquiring the equity securities of one or more existing companies (or interests therein) via merger, combination, acquisition or other similar transactions. Unless and until an acquisition is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets (less a portion retained to cover expenses) in U.S. government securities, money market securities and cash and does not typically pay dividends in respect of its common stock. SPAC investments are also subject to the risk that a significant portion of the funds raised by the SPAC may be expended during the search for a target acquisition or merger and that the SPAC may have limited time in which to conduct due diligence on potential business combination targets. Because SPACs are in essence blank check companies without operating history or ongoing business other than seeking acquisitions, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of

⁷⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. Among other conflicts of interest, the economic interests of the management, directors, officers and related parties of a SPAC can differ from the economic interests of public shareholders, which may lead to conflicts as they evaluate, negotiate and recommend business combination transactions to shareholders. This risk may become more acute as the deadline for the completion of a business combination nears. There is no guarantee that the SPACs in which the Trust invests will complete an acquisition or that any acquisitions that are completed will be profitable.

Note 3 – Derivatives

As part of its investment strategy, the Trust utilizes a variety of derivative instruments. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of amounts recognized on the Trust's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Valuation and accounting treatment of these instruments can be found under Significant Accounting Policies in Note 2 of these Notes to Financial Statements.

Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used for investment purposes (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, for diversification purposes, to change the duration of the Trust, for leverage purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. Derivative instruments may also be used to seek to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. U.S. GAAP requires disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Trust uses derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Trust’s financial position and results of operations.

The Trust utilized derivatives for the following purposes:

Duration: the use of an instrument to manage the interest rate risk of a portfolio.

Hedge: an investment made in order to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in a security, by taking an offsetting position to protect against broad market moves.

Speculation: the use of an instrument to express macro-economic and other investment views.

To the extent the Trust’s investment strategy consistently involves applying leverage, the value of the Trust’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index or other asset. In addition, because an investment in derivative instruments generally requires

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l⁷¹


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 3 – Derivatives (continued)

a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed, an opportunity for increased net income is created; but, at the same time, leverage risk will increase. The Trust’s use of leverage, through borrowings or instruments such as derivatives, may cause an investment in the Trust to be more volatile and riskier than if the Trust had not been leveraged.

Options Purchased and Written

A call option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of a call option the obligation to sell, the underlying security. The purchaser of a put option has the right to sell, and the writer of the put option the obligation to buy, the underlying security at any time during the option period. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.

The following table represents the Trust’s use and volume of call/put options purchased on a monthly basis:


	Average Notional Amount
Use	Call	Put
Duration, Hedge, Speculation	$71,836,675	$—

The risk in writing a call option is that the Trust may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Trust may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the underlying securities where the Trust may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market; or, for OTC options, the Trust may be at risk because of the counterparty’s inability to perform.

The following table represents the Trust’s use and volume of call/put options written on a monthly basis:


	Average Notional Amount
Use	Call	Put
Hedge, Speculation	$71,836,675	$—

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities or other instruments at a set price for delivery at a future date. There are significant risks associated with the Trust’s use of futures contracts, including (i) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the underlying asset and the prices of futures contracts; (ii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract; (iii) trading restrictions

⁷²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 3 – Derivatives (continued)

or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (iv) government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts. When investing in futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Trust because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default. Cash deposits are shown as segregated cash with broker on the Trust's Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities held as collateral are noted on the Trust's Schedule of Investments.

The following table represents the Trust’s use and volume of futures on a monthly basis:


	Average Notional Amount
Use	Long	Short
Duration, Hedge, Speculation	$6,232,319	$6,225,556

Swap Agreements

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. When utilizing OTC swaps, the Trust bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty or if the underlying asset declines in value.

Certain standardized swaps are subject to mandatory central clearing and are executed on a multi-lateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange. There is limited counterparty credit risk with respect to centrally-cleared swaps as the transaction is facilitated through a central clearinghouse, much like exchange-traded futures contracts. If the Trust utilizes centrally-cleared swaps, the exchange bears the risk of loss resulting from a counterparty not being able to pay. There is no guarantee that the Trust or an underlying fund could eliminate its exposure under an outstanding swap agreement by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same or another party.

Credit default swaps are instruments which allow for the full or partial transfer of third-party credit risk, with respect to a particular entity or entities, from one counterparty to the other. The Trust enters into credit default swaps as a “seller” or “buyer” of protection primarily to gain or reduce exposure to the investment grade and/or high yield bond market. A seller of credit default swaps is selling credit protection or assuming credit risk with respect to the underlying entity or entities. The buyer in a credit default swap is obligated to pay the seller a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default on an underlying reference obligation has occurred. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the seller will either (i) pay to the buyer of

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l⁷³


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 3 – Derivatives (continued)

protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. The notional amount reflects the maximum potential amount the seller of credit protection could be required to pay to the buyer if a credit event occurs. The seller of protection receives periodic premium payments from the buyer and may also receive or pay an upfront premium adjustment to the stated periodic payments. In the event a credit default occurs on a credit default swap referencing an index, a factor adjustment will take place and the buyer of protection will receive a payment reflecting the par less the default recovery rate of the defaulted index component based on its weighting in the index. If no default occurs, the counterparty will pay the stream of payments and have no further obligations to the Trust if the Trust is selling the credit protection. If the Trust utilizes centrally cleared credit default swaps, the exchange bears the risk of loss resulting from a counterparty not being able to pay. For OTC credit default swaps, the Trust bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty, or in the case of a credit default swap in which the Trust is selling credit protection, the default of a third-party issuer.

The quoted market prices and resulting market values for credit default swap agreements on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

The following table represents the Trust's use and volume of credit default swaps on a monthly basis:


	Average Notional Amount
Use	Protection Sold	Protection Purchased
Hedge	$650,000	$6,502,452

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange two designated currencies at a specific time in the future. Certain types of contracts may be cash settled, in an amount equal to the change in exchange

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 3 – Derivatives (continued)

rates during the term of the contract. The contracts can be used to hedge or manage exposure to foreign currency risks with portfolio investments or to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

The market value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract changes with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Furthermore, the Trust may be exposed to risk if the counterparties cannot meet the contract terms or if the currency value changes unfavorably as compared to the U.S. dollar.

In conjunction with the use of derivative instruments, the Trust is required to maintain collateral in various forms. Depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker involved, the Trust uses margin deposits at the broker, cash and/ or securities segregated at the custodian bank, discount notes or repurchase agreements allocated to the Trust as collateral.

The Trust has established counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions rated/identified as investment grade or better. The Trust monitors the counterparty credit risk associated with each such financial institution.

Foreign Investments

There are several risks associated with exposure to foreign currencies, foreign issuers and emerging markets. The Trust’s indirect and direct exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Trust to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or in the case of short positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad. In addition, the Trust may incur transaction costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. The Trust may, but is not obligated to, engage in currency hedging transactions, which generally involve buying currency forward, options or futures contracts. However, not all currency risks may be effectively hedged, and in some cases the costs of hedging techniques may outweigh expected benefits. In such instances, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l⁷⁷


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 3 – Derivatives (continued)

The Trust may invest in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments, such as ADRs and exchange-traded funds, which are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Investing in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers, may involve risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies, and of dividends from such securities, can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity than U.S. markets, and prices in some foreign markets may fluctuate more than those of securities traded on U.S. markets. Many foreign countries lack accounting and disclosure standards comparable to those that apply to U.S. companies, and it may be more difficult to obtain reliable information regarding a foreign issuer’s financial condition and operations. Transaction costs and costs associated with custody services are generally higher for foreign securities than they are for U.S. securities. Some foreign governments levy withholding taxes against dividend and interest income. Although in some countries portions of these taxes are recoverable, the non-recovered portion will reduce the income received by the Trust.

Note 4 – Offsetting

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into transactions subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or other similar arrangements. Generally, the right to offset in those agreements allows the Trust to counteract the exposure to a specific counterparty with collateral received from or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the arrangements. These arrangements provide for the right to liquidate upon the occurrence of an event of default, credit event upon merger or additional termination event.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Trust mitigate its counterparty risk, the Trust may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Trust and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including foreign exchange contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 4 – Offsetting (continued)

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Trust and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Trust and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, are reported separately on the Trust’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as segregated cash with broker/ receivable for variation margin, or payable for swap settlement/variation margin. Cash and/ or securities pledged or received as collateral by the Trust in connection with an OTC derivative subject to an ISDA Master Agreement generally may not be invested, sold or rehypothecated by the counterparty or the Trust, as applicable, absent an event of default under such agreement, in which case such collateral generally may be applied towards obligations due to and payable by such counterparty or the Trust, as applicable. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $300,000) before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Trust from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Trust bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Trust attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Trust does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Trust’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following tables present derivative financial instruments and secured financing transactions that are subject to enforceable netting arrangements:

Note 5 – Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser furnishes office facilities and equipment and provides administrative services on behalf of the Trust, and oversees the activities of Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“GPIM” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser provides all services through the medium of any directors, officers or employees of the Adviser or its affiliates as the Adviser deems appropriate in order to fulfill its obligations. As compensation for these services, the Trust pays the Adviser a fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.60% of the Trust’s average daily Managed Assets (as defined in this report).

Pursuant to an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement among the Trust, the Adviser and GPIM, GPIM, under the oversight and supervision of the Trust’s Board and the Adviser, manages the investment of the assets of the Trust in accordance with its investment objectives and policies, places orders to purchase and sell securities on behalf of the Trust, and, at the request of the Adviser, consults with the Adviser as to the overall management of the assets of the Trust and its investment policies and practices. As compensation for its services, the Adviser pays GPIM a fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.30% of the Trust’s average daily Managed Assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 5 – Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (continued)

For purposes of calculating the fees payable under the foregoing agreements, “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Trust, including the assets attributable to the proceeds from financial leverage, including the issuance of senior securities represented by indebtedness (including through borrowing from financial institutions or issuance of debt securities, including notes or commercial paper), the issuance of preferred shares, the effective leverage of certain portfolio transactions such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and inverse floating rate securities, or any other form of financial leverage, minus liabilities, other than liabilities related to any financial leverage.

If the Trust invests in a fund that is advised by the Adviser or an adviser affiliated with the Adviser, the Adviser has agreed to waive Trust fees to the extent necessary to offset the proportionate share of any management fee paid by the Trust with respect to its investment in such fund. Fee waivers will be calculated at the Trust level without regard to any expense cap, if any, in effect for the Trust. Fees waived under this arrangement are not subject to reimbursement. For the year ended May 31, 2026, there were no such fees waived.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust may also be officers, directors and/or employees of the Adviser or GPIM. The Trust does not compensate its officers who are officers, directors and/or employees of the aforementioned firms.

The Trust pays operating expenses, such as audit and accounting related services, legal services, custody, printing and mailing, among others. Certain expenses are allocated to various Funds within the complex based on relative net assets.

On December 3, 2025, the Trust received a one-time payment from the Adviser for $1,108 relating to an operational issue. This amount is included in Capital contribution from adviser on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the impact of this amount to total return at NAV is included within the Financial Highlights.

The Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (“BNY”) acts as the Trust’s administrator, custodian and accounting agent. Prior to December 15, 2025, MUFG Investor Services (US), LLC served as the Trust’s administrator and accounting agent. As custodian, BNY is responsible for the custody of the Trust’s assets. As administrator and accounting agent, BNY maintains the books and records of the Trust's securities and cash. For providing the aforementioned services, BNY is entitled to receive a monthly fee equal to an annual percentage of the Trust’s average daily Managed Assets and certain out of pocket expenses.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurement

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Trust would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l⁸¹


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurement (continued)

between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the types of inputs used to value assets and liabilities and requires corresponding disclosure. The hierarchy and the corresponding inputs are summarized below:

Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — significant other observable inputs (for example quoted prices for securities that are similar based on characteristics such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available under the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions.

Rule 2a-5 sets forth a definition of “readily available market quotations,” which is consistent with the definition of a Level 1 input under U.S. GAAP. Rule 2a-5 provides that “a market quotation is readily available only when that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Trust can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable.”

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available must be valued at fair value as determined in good faith. Accordingly, any security priced using inputs other than Level 1 inputs will be subject to fair value requirements. The types of inputs available depend on a variety of factors, such as the type of security and the characteristics of the markets in which it trades, if any. Fair valuation determinations that rely on fewer or no observable inputs require greater judgment. Accordingly, fair value determinations for Level 3 securities require the greatest amount of judgment.

Independent third-party pricing services are used to value a majority of the Trust’s investments. When values are not available from an independent third-party pricing service, they will be determined using a variety of sources and techniques, including: market prices; broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics or based on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over U.S. Treasury securities, and other information and analysis. A significant portion of the Trust’s assets and liabilities are categorized as Level 2, as indicated in this report.

Quotes from broker-dealers, adjusted for fluctuations in criteria such as credit spreads and interest rates, may also be used to value the Trust’s assets. Quotes from broker-dealers and vendor prices based on broker quotes can vary in terms of depth (e.g., provided by a single broker-dealer) and frequency (e.g., provided

⁸²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurement (continued)

on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, or any other regular or irregular interval). Although quotes from broker-dealers and vendor prices based on broker quotes are typically received from established market participants, the Trust may not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support such quotes. Significant changes in a quote from a broker-dealer would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security.

Certain fixed income securities are valued by obtaining a monthly quote from a broker-dealer, adjusted for fluctuations in criteria such as credit spreads and interest rates.

Certain loans and other securities are valued using a single daily broker quote or a price from an independent third-party pricing service based on a single daily or monthly broker quote.

Private funds are valued using the net asset value (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient to estimate fair value of investments in private funds, provided certain conditions are met. As such, the Trust’s investments in private funds are carried at fair value which generally represents the Trust’s pro-rata interest in the net assets of each private fund as reported by the administrators and/or investment managers of the underlying private funds. As needed, the reported net asset value is adjusted for investment activity subsequent to the most recent net asset value provided by the private funds' management.

The inputs or methodologies selected and applied for valuing securities or other assets are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The suitability, appropriateness and accuracy of the techniques, methodologies and sources employed to determine fair valuation are periodically reviewed and subject to change.

Note 7 – Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Trust may enter into reverse repurchase agreements as part of its financial leverage strategy. Under a reverse repurchase agreement, the Trust temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash. At the same time, the Trust agrees to repurchase the instrument at an agreed upon time and price, which reflects an interest payment. Such agreements have the economic effect of borrowings. The Trust may enter into such agreements to seek to invest the cash acquired at a rate higher than the cost of the agreement, which would increase earned income. When the Trust enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, any fluctuations in the market value of either the instruments transferred to another party or the instruments in which the proceeds are invested would affect the market value of the Trust’s assets. As a result, such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of the Trust’s

assets. For the year ended May 31, 2026, the average daily balance for which reverse repurchase agreements were outstanding amounted to $171,182,179. The weighted average interest rate was 4.19%. As of May 31, 2026, there was $160,148,376 (inclusive of interest payable) in reverse repurchase agreements outstanding.

As of May 31, 2026, the Trust had outstanding reverse repurchase agreements with various counterparties. Details of the reverse repurchase agreements by counterparty are as follows:

Note 8 – Borrowings

As of October 11, 2024 the Trust has entered into a $100,000,000 credit facility agreement with a new approved lender (the “Credit Agreement”). As of May 15,

⁸⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 8 – Borrowings (continued)

2026, the maximum amount of borrowings under the credit facility was reduced to $65,000,000. Under the terms of the credit facility, the interest rate on the amount borrowed is based on the SOFR plus 85 basis points, and an unused commitment fee of 20 basis points is charged on the difference between the amount available to borrow under the credit agreement and the actual amount borrowed through May 10, 2027 (prior to May 15, 2026, the unused commitment fee was 20 basis points). Beginning on May 11, 2027, the unused commitment fee shall increase to 25 basis points. The Trust had previously entered into a $100,000,000 credit facility agreement with another approved lender, which was terminated in full on November 20, 2024. As of May 31, 2026, there was $0 outstanding in connection with the Trust’s Credit Agreement. The Trust did not have any borrowings on the credit facility during the year ended May 31, 2026. As of May 31, 2026, the total value of securities segregated and pledged as collateral in connection with borrowings was $0.

The Credit Agreement includes customary representations and covenants, including certain limitations on the Trust’s ability to enter into additional indebtedness (subject to customary exclusions), change its investment policies if such change could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of the counterparty, or pledge to a party other than the counterparty, securities owned or held by the Trust over which the counterparty has a perfected first-priority interest. In addition, the Trust is required to deliver financial information to the counterparty within established deadlines, maintain an asset coverage ratio (as defined in Section 18(g) of the 1940 Act) greater than 275%, comply with the rules of the stock exchange on which its shares are listed, and maintain its classification as a “closed-end management investment company” as defined in the 1940 Act.

There is no guarantee that the Trust’s leverage strategy will be successful. The Trust’s use of leverage may cause the Trust’s NAV and market price of common shares to be more volatile and can magnify the effect of any losses.

Note 9 – Federal Income Tax Information

The Trust intends to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all taxable net investment income and capital gains sufficient to relieve the Trust from all, or substantially all, federal income, excise and state income taxes. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax or federal excise tax is required.

Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trust’s tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely- than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax

Note 9 – Federal Income Tax Information (continued)

benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Trust’s tax positions taken, or to be taken, on U.S. federal income tax returns for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Trust’s financial statements. The Trust’s U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for a period of three years after they are filed.

If the Trust makes a distribution to its shareholders in excess of its current and accumulated “earnings and profits” in any taxable year, the excess distribution will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of each shareholder’s basis (for tax purposes) in its shares, and any distribution in excess of basis will be treated as capital gain. A return of capital is not taxable, but it reduces the shareholder’s basis in its shares, which reduces the loss (or increases the gain) on a subsequent taxable disposition by such shareholder of the shares.

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended May 31, 2026 was as follows:


Ordinary Income	Long-Term Capital Gain	Return of Capital	Total Distributions
$24,532,516	$—	$16,842,618	$41,375,134

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended May 31, 2025, was as follows:


Ordinary Income	Long-Term Capital Gain	Return of Capital	Total Distributions
$22,485,930	$—	$17,113,656	$39,599,586

Note: For U.S. federal income tax purposes, short-term capital gain distributions are treated as ordinary income distributions.

The tax components of distributable earnings/(loss) as of May 31, 2026 were as follows:


Undistributed Ordinary Income	Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain	Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)	Accumulated Capital and Other Losses	Total
$—	$—	$(23,618,590)	$(36,691,875)	$(60,310,465)

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards represent realized losses of the Trust that may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. The Trust is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period

⁸⁶^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 9 – Federal Income Tax Information (continued)

and such capital loss carryforwards retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. As of May 31, 2026, capital loss carryforwards for the Trust were as follows:


	Unlimited
Short-Term	Long-Term	Total Capital Loss Carryforward
$(452,933)	$(36,238,942)	$(36,691,875)

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/ tax differences. These differences are primarily due to investments in swap agreements, paydown reclasses, foreign currency gains and losses, losses deferred due to wash sales, classifications of distributions, and debt to equity adjustments. Additional differences may result from the “mark-to-market” of certain derivatives. To the extent these differences are permanent and would require a reclassification between Paid in Capital and Total Distributable Earnings (Loss), such reclassifications are made in the period that the differences arise. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share.

The following adjustments were made on the Trust's Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as of May 31, 2026 for permanent book/tax differences:


		Total
	Paid In	Distributable
	Capital	Earnings/(Loss)
	$(97,425)	$97,425

At May 31, 2026, the cost of investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments for which there was an excess of value over tax cost and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments for which there was an excess of tax cost over value, were as follows:


Tax Cost	Tax Unrealized Appreciation	Tax Unrealized Depreciation	Net Tax Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
$585,630,495	$13,176,049	$(36,786,699)	$(23,610,650)

Note 10 – Securities Transactions

For the year ended May 31, 2026, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, excluding government securities, short-term investments and derivatives, were $133,098,245 and $129,162,932, respectively.

Note 10 – Securities Transactions (continued)

For the year ended May 31, 2026, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of government securities were $0 and $886,505, respectively.

The Trust is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. For the year ended May 31, 2026, the Trust did not engage in purchases and sales of securities, pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act.

Note 11 – Unfunded Loan Commitments

Pursuant to the terms of certain loan agreements, the Trust held unfunded loan commitments as of May 31, 2026. The Trust is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The Trust reserves against such contingent obligations by designating cash, liquid securities, illiquid securities, and liquid term loans as a reserve. As of May 31, 2026, the total amount segregated in connection with unfunded loan commitments and reverse repurchase agreements was $167,347,929.

The unfunded loan commitments as of May 31, 2026, were as follows:

⁽¹⁾ Principal amount outstanding represents the principal amount as of the end of the relevant fiscal year/period owed by the Trust to lenders under arrangements in place at the time.

Prior to August 19, 2022, as a result of the Trust having earmarked or segregated cash or liquid securities to collateralize reverse repurchase agreement transactions or otherwise having covered the transactions, in accordance with releases and interpretive letters issued by the SEC, the Trust did not treat its obligations under such transactions as senior securities representing indebtedness for purposes of the 1940 Act. Accordingly, this table does not reflect reverse repurchase agreement transactions for periods prior to August 19, 2022. Effective August 19, 2022, the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 14 – Senior Securities (continued)

Trust’s obligations under reverse repurchase agreement transactions are treated as senior securities representing indebtedness for purposes of the 1940 Act.

Note 15 – Segment Reporting

An operating segment is defined in FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) Segment Reporting (Topic 280) 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 Officers of the Trust, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Board, serve as the CODM for the Trust.

The Trust represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Trust as a whole and the Trust’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the Trust’s investment objective which is executed by the Trust’s portfolio managers as a team. The Trust uses a variety of investments to execute its investment strategy. Please refer to Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies of these Notes to Financial Statements for additional details on the significant accounting policies and investment types used by the Trust. Please refer to the Trust’s Schedule of Investments for a breakdown of the types of investments from which the Trust generates its returns. Financial information in the form of total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Trust’s comparative benchmarks, among other metrics, and to make resource allocation decisions for the Trust’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Trust’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the Trust’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and significant segment income, expenses, and gain(loss) are listed on the Trust’s Statement of Operations.

Note 16 – Market Risks

The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Trust are subject to the possibility of rapid and unpredictable fluctuation, and loss that may result from various factors. These factors include, among others, developments affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies, or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, including real or perceived changes in prevailing interest rates (which may change at any time based on changes in monetary policies and various market and other economic conditions), changes in inflation rates or expectations about inflation rates, deflation, adverse investor confidence or sentiment, general outlook for corporate earnings, changing economic, political (including geopolitical),

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l⁹¹


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	May 31, 2026

Note 16 – Market Risks (continued)

social or financial market conditions, bank failures, increased instability or general uncertainty, extreme weather, environmental or man-made disasters, or geological events, governmental actions, actual or threatened imposition of tariffs (which may be imposed by U.S. and foreign governments) and trade disruptions, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), debt crises, terrorism, actual or threatened wars or other armed conflicts (such as the conflict in the Middle East and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and its collateral economic and other effects, including, but not limited to, sanctions and other international trade barriers) or ratings downgrades, and other similar events, each of which may be temporary or last for extended periods. Different sectors, industries and security types may react differently to such developments. Moreover, changing economic, political, geopolitical, social, financial market or other conditions in one country, geographic region or industry could adversely affect the value, yield and return of the investments held by the Trust in a different country, geographic region, economy, industry or market because of the increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. The duration and extent of the foregoing types of factors or conditions are highly uncertain and difficult to predict and have in the past, and may in the future, cause volatility and distress in economies and financial markets or other adverse circumstances, which may negatively affect the value of the Trust’s investments and performance of the Trust.

Note 17 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In this reporting period, the Trust adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect any Trust financial position or the results of its operations.

Note 18 – Subsequent Events

The Trust evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued and determined there were no material events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the Trust’s financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM	May 31, 2026

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Guggenheim Taxable Municipal Bond & Investment Grade Debt Trust

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Guggenheim Taxable Municipal Bond & Investment Grade Debt Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedule of investments, as of May 31, 2026, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Guggenheim Taxable Municipal Bond & Investment Grade Debt Trust at May 31, 2026, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trust’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian, broker and paying agents;

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l⁹³


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM continued	May 31, 2026

when replies were not received from brokers or paying agents, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Guggenheim investment companies since 1979.

Summary of Trust Expenses

The following table contains information about the costs and expenses that Common Shareholders will bear directly or indirectly. The table is based on the capital structure of the Trust as of May 31, 2026. The purpose of the table and the example below is to help you understand the fees and expenses that you, as a holder of Common Shares, would bear directly or indirectly. The following table should not be considered a representation of the Trust’s future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than shown. The following table shows estimated Trust expenses as a percentage of average net assets attributable to Common Shares and not as a percentage of Managed Assets.

⁽¹⁾ In connection with an offering of Common Shares, a supplement to the Trust’s prospectus (“Prospectus Supplement”) will set forth any applicable sales load and the estimated offering expenses borne by the Trust.

⁽²⁾ The Trust and Adviser have agreed, in connection with offerings under its registration statement, that the Trust will pay offering expenses in an amount up to the lesser of the Trust's actual offering costs or 0.60% of the total offering price of the Common Shares sold in such offerings and that offering expenses that exceed 0.60% of the total offering price of the Common Shares will be paid by the Adviser. The Adviser and the Trust have also agreed that certain offering expenses of the Trust may be paid by the Adviser initially and reimbursed by the Trust, subject to the foregoing limitation. The Adviser has no right to recoup (or receive reimbursement for) expenses in excess of 0.60% that the

Adviser previously paid on the Trust's behalf to the extent that the Trust's offering costs in any year drop below 0.60%. Such agreement will be in effect for the life of the registration statement with respect to all Common Shares sold pursuant to the registration statement and may only be terminated by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

⁽³⁾ Common Shareholders will pay brokerage charges if they direct the Plan Agent to sell Common Shares held in a dividend reinvestment account.

⁽⁴⁾ Based upon average net assets applicable to Common Shares during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026.

⁽⁵⁾ The Trust pays the Adviser a monthly fee in arrears at an annual rate equal to 0.60% of the Trust’s average daily Managed Assets. The fee shown is based upon outstanding leverage employed through (i) the issuance of senior securities representing indebtedness, including through borrowing from financial institutions or issuance of debt securities, including notes or commercial paper, (ii) engaging in reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and economically similar transactions, (iii) investments in inverse floating rate securities, which have the economic effect of leverage, and (iv) the issuance of preferred shares (collectively “Financial Leverage”) of 28.50% of the Trust’s Managed Assets. If Financial Leverage of more than 28.50% of the Trust’s Managed Assets is used, the management fees shown would be higher.

⁽⁶⁾ Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are estimated based on the fees and expenses borne by the Trust as an investor in other investment companies during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026.

⁽⁷⁾ Includes interest payments on borrowed funds and interest expense on reverse repurchase agreements. Interest payments on borrowed funds is based upon the Trust’s outstanding Borrowings as of May 31, 2026, which included Borrowings under the Trust’s committed facility agreement in an amount equal to 0% of the Trust’s average Managed Assets, at an average interest rate of 0%. Interest expenses on reverse repurchase agreements is based on the Trust’s outstanding reverse repurchase agreements as of May 31, 2026, which included leverage in the form of reverse repurchase agreements in an amount equal to 28.50% of the Trust’s average Managed Assets, at a weighted average interest rate cost to the Trust of 3.85%. The actual amount of interest payments and expenses by the Trust will vary over time in accordance with the amount of Borrowings and reverse repurchase agreements and variations in market interest rates.

⁽⁸⁾ Other expenses are estimated based upon those incurred during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026.

⁽⁹⁾ The Total Annual Expenses in this fee table may not correlate to the expense ratios in the Trust’s financial highlights and financial statements because the financial highlights and financial statements reflect only the operating expenses of the Trust and do not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, which are fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Trust through its investments in certain underlying investment companies.

Example

As required by relevant Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, the following example illustrates the expenses that you would pay on a $1,000 investment in Common Shares, assuming (1) “Total annual expenses” of 2.56% of net assets attributable to Common Shares and (2) a 5% annual return*:


	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Total Annual Expenses paid by Common Shareholders⁽¹⁾	$26	$80	$136	$290

⁽¹⁾ The example should not be considered a representation of future expenses or returns. Actual expenses may be higher or lower than those assumed and shown. Moreover, the Trust’s actual rate

⁹⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


OTHER INFORMATION (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

of return may be higher or lower than the hypothetical 5% return shown in the example. The example assumes that all dividends and distributions are reinvested at net asset value.

⁽¹⁾ The example does not include sales loads or estimated offering costs which, if reflected, would result in higher expenses. In connection with an offering of Common Shares, the Prospectus Supplement will set forth any applicable sales load and the estimated offering expenses borne by the Trust.

Market and Net Asset Value Information

The Trust’s currently outstanding Common Shares are listed on the NYSE. The Trust’s Common Shares commenced trading on the NYSE on October 28, 2010.

The Common Shares have traded both at a premium and at a discount in relation to the Trust’s net asset value per share. Although the Common Shares recently have traded at a premium to net asset value, there can be no assurance that this will continue nor that the Common Shares will not trade at a discount in the future. Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The sale of Common Shares by the Trust (or the perception that such sales may occur) may have an adverse effect on prices of Common Shares in the secondary market. An increase in the number of Common Shares available may put downward pressure on the market price for Common Shares.

The following table sets forth, for each of the periods indicated, the high and low closing market prices for the Common Shares on the NYSE, the net asset value per Common Share and the premium or discount to net asset value per Common Share at which the Common Shares were trading.Net asset value is generally determined on each Tuesday that the NYSE is open for business and the last business day of each calendar month.

REPORT OF THE GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST (GBAB) BOARD OF TRUSTEES (Unaudited)	May 31, 2026

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Guggenheim Taxable Municipal Bond & Investment Grade Debt Trust (the “Fund”), including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the investment management agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC (“GFIA” or the “Adviser”) and the investment sub-advisory agreement by and among the Fund, the Adviser and Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“GPIM” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (the “Sub- Advisory Agreement” and together with the “Investment Advisory Agreement,” the “Agreements”).

GFIA and GPIM are each an indirect subsidiary of Guggenheim Partners, LLC, a privately-held, global investment and advisory firm (“Guggenheim Partners”). Guggenheim Partners, GFIA, GPIM and their affiliates may be referred to herein collectively as “Guggenheim.” “Guggenheim Investments” refers to the global asset management and investment advisory division of Guggenheim Partners and includes GFIA, GPIM, Security Investors, LLC and other affiliated investment management businesses of Guggenheim Partners.

At meetings held in person on April 14, 2026 (the “April Meeting”) and on May 14, 2026 (the “May Meeting”), the Contracts Review Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), consisting solely of Independent Trustees, met separately from Guggenheim to consider the proposed renewal of the Agreements. As part of its review process, the Committee was represented by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (“Independent Legal Counsel”), from whom the Independent Trustees received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately. Independent Legal Counsel reviewed and discussed with the Committee various key aspects of the Trustees’ legal responsibilities relating to the proposed renewal of the Agreements and other principal contracts. The Committee took into account various materials received from Guggenheim and Independent Legal Counsel. The Committee also considered the variety of written materials, reports and oral presentations the Board received throughout the year regarding performance and operating results of the Fund, and other information relevant to its evaluation of the Agreements.

In connection with the contract review process, FUSE Research Network LLC (“FUSE”), an independent, third-party research provider, was engaged to prepare advisory contract renewal reports designed specifically to help the Board fulfill its advisory contract renewal responsibilities. The objective of the FUSE reports is to present the subject fund’s relative position regarding fees, expenses and total return performance, with comparisons to a peer group of funds identified by Guggenheim, based on a methodology reviewed by the Board.

REPORT OF THE GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST (GBAB) BOARD OF TRUSTEES (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

In addition, Guggenheim provided materials and data in response to formal requests for information sent by Independent Legal Counsel on behalf of the Committee. Guggenheim also made a presentation at the April Meeting. Throughout the process, the Committee asked questions of management and requested certain additional information, which Guggenheim provided (collectively with the foregoing reports and materials, the “Contract Review Materials”). The Committee considered the Contract Review Materials in the context of its accumulated experience governing the Fund and other funds in the Guggenheim fund complex and weighed the factors and standards discussed with Independent Legal Counsel.

Following an analysis and discussion of relevant factors, including those identified below, and in the exercise of its business judgment, the Committee concluded that it was in the best interest of the Fund to recommend that the Board approve the renewal of the Agreements for an additional annual term. Following its review of the Committee’s recommendation, the Board approved the renewal of the Agreements for the Fund for a one-year period ending August 1, 2027 at a meeting held on May 13-14, 2026 (the “May Board Meeting” and together with the May Meeting, the “May Meetings”) and determined to adopt the Committee’s considerations and conclusions, which follow.

Investment Advisory Agreement

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser: With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services currently provided by the Adviser, the Committee noted that, although the Adviser delegated certain portfolio management responsibilities to the Sub-Adviser, as affiliated companies, both the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are part of the Guggenheim organization. Further, the Committee took into account Guggenheim’s explanation that investment advisory-related services are provided by many Guggenheim employees under different related legal entities and thus, the services provided by the Adviser on the one hand and the Sub-Adviser on the other, as well as the risks assumed by each party, cannot be ascribed to distinct legal entities.¹ As a result, in evaluating the services provided to the Fund, the Committee did not separately consider the contributions under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Committee also considered the secondary market support services provided by Guggenheim to the Fund and noted the materials describing the activities of Guggenheim’s dedicated Closed-End Fund Team, including with respect to communication with financial advisors, data dissemination and relationship management. In addition, the Committee considered the qualifications, experience and skills of key personnel performing services for the Fund, including those

¹   Consequently, except where the context indicates otherwise, references to “Adviser” or “Sub-Adviser” should be understood as referring to Guggenheim Investments generally and the services it provides under the Agreements.

personnel providing compliance and risk oversight, as well as the supervisors and reporting lines for such personnel. The Committee also considered other information, including Guggenheim’s resources and related efforts to retain, attract and motivate capable personnel to serve the Fund. In evaluating Guggenheim’s resources and capabilities, the Committee considered Guggenheim’s commitment to focusing on, and investing resources in support of, funds in the Guggenheim fund complex, including the Fund. The Committee also considered the acceptability of the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the scope of services required to be performed by the Adviser.

The Committee’s review of the services provided by Guggenheim to the Fund included consideration of Guggenheim’s investment processes and resulting performance, portfolio oversight and risk management, and the related regular quarterly reports and presentations received by the Board. The Committee took into account the risks borne by Guggenheim in sponsoring and providing services to the Fund, including regulatory, operational, legal and entrepreneurial risks. The Committee considered the resources dedicated by Guggenheim to compliance functions and the reporting made to the Board by Guggenheim compliance personnel regarding Guggenheim’s adherence to regulatory requirements. The Committee also considered the regular reports the Board receives from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In connection with the Committee’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by Guggenheim, the Committee considered Guggenheim’s administrative services, including its role in supervising, monitoring, coordinating and evaluating the various services provided by the fund administrator, accounting agent, transfer agent, custodian, independent auditor and other service providers to the Fund. The Committee evaluated the Office of Chief Financial Officer (the “OCFO”), which oversees certain services provided to funds by service providers in the Guggenheim fund complex, including the OCFO’s resources, personnel and services provided.

With respect to Guggenheim’s resources and the ability of the Adviser to carry out its responsibilities under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Head of Finance Operations of Guggenheim Investments reviewed with the Committee financial information concerning the holding company for Guggenheim Investments, GIH Borrower, LLC (“GIHB”), and the various entities comprising Guggenheim Investments, and provided the audited consolidated financial statements of GIHB. (Thereafter, the Committee received the audited consolidated financial statements of GPIM.) The Committee also received information regarding the ownership structure of Guggenheim Investments and its parent company, Guggenheim Capital, LLC.

REPORT OF THE GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST (GBAB) BOARD OF TRUSTEES (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written) at the April Meeting and the May Meetings, as well as other considerations, including the Committee’s knowledge of how the Adviser performs its duties obtained through Board meetings, discussions and reports throughout the year, the Committee concluded that the Adviser and its personnel were qualified to serve the Fund in such capacity and may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Investment Performance: The Committee received data showing, among other things, the Fund’s total return on a net asset value (“NAV”) and market price basis for the ten-year, five-year, three-year, one-year and three-month periods ended December 31, 2025, as well as total return based on NAV since inception. The Committee also received certain performance information as of March 31, 2026. The Committee compared the Fund’s performance to a peer group of closed-end funds identified by Guggenheim (the “peer group”) and, for NAV returns, performance versus the Fund’s benchmark for the same time periods. The Committee noted that the Adviser’s peer group selection methodology for the Fund starts with the entire U.S.-listed taxable closed-end fund universe, excluding term funds, and excludes funds that: (i) generally invest less than 50% in taxable municipal securities, including “Build America Bonds”; and (ii) generally employ less than 20% financial leverage. The Committee also considered that the peer group, with three constituent funds, including the Fund, is consistent with the peer group used for purposes of the Fund’s quarterly performance reporting, but that the small size of the group limited the usefulness of the comparisons. In assessing the Fund’s performance, the Committee considered that the Board receives regular reporting from Guggenheim regarding performance and evaluates performance throughout the year.

In addition, the Committee took into account Guggenheim’s belief that there is no single optimal performance metric, nor is there a single optimal time period over which to evaluate performance and that a thorough understanding of performance comes from analyzing measures of returns, risk and risk-adjusted returns, as well as evaluating strategies both relative to their market benchmarks and to peer groups of competing strategies. Thus, the Committee also reviewed and considered the additional performance and risk metrics provided by Guggenheim for the since-inception, five-year, three-year and one-year periods ended December 31, 2025, including the Fund’s standard deviation, tracking error, beta, Sharpe ratio, information ratio and alpha compared to the benchmark, with the Fund’s risk metrics ranked against its peer group. In assessing the foregoing, the Committee considered Guggenheim’s statement indicating that, as of December 31, 2025, the Fund’s returns have exceeded those of the benchmark over all relevant time periods. The Committee also noted Guggenheim’s statement indicating that, as

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹¹³


REPORT OF THE GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST (GBAB) BOARD OF TRUSTEES (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

of December 31, 2025, the Fund’s risk metrics have consistently been superior to those of peers over the since-inception, three-year and one-year periods, and that the Fund’s risk-adjusted returns also compared favorably to peers, although the peer group is relatively small.

The Committee also considered the Fund’s structure and form of leverage, and, among other information related to leverage, the cost of the leverage and the aggregate leverage outstanding as of December 31, 2025, as well as net yield on leverage assets and net impact on common assets due to leverage for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 and annualized for the three-year and since- inception periods ended December 31, 2025.

In addition, the Committee considered information on the Fund’s trading volume, market price and NAV, and trading premium/discount in 2025, as well as its average and/or median trading premium/discount over various time periods. The Committee took into account the Adviser’s commentary on the Fund’s trading information, including how such information compared to that of its peer group.

Comparative Fees, Costs of Services Provided and the Benefits Realized by the Adviser from Its Relationship with the Fund: The Committee compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee (which includes the sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub- Adviser) as a percentage of average managed assets for the latest fiscal year,² and the Fund’s net effective management fee³ and total net expense ratio, in each case as a percentage of average net assets for the latest fiscal year, to the peer group and noted the Fund’s percentile rankings in this regard. In addition, the Committee considered information regarding Guggenheim’s process for evaluating the competitiveness of the Fund’s fees and expenses, noting Guggenheim’s statement that evaluations seek to incorporate a variety of factors with a general focus on ensuring fees and expenses: (i) are competitive; (ii) give consideration to resource support requirements; and (iii) ensure the Fund is able to deliver on shareholder return expectations.

The Committee observed that, although the Fund’s contractual advisory fee based on average managed assets was the highest of its peer group, its net effective management fee based on average net assets and its total net expense ratio

²    Contractual advisory fee rankings represent the percentile ranking of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee relative to peers assuming that the contractual advisory fee for each fund in the peer group is calculated on the basis of the Fund’s average managed assets.

³    The “net effective management fee” for the Fund represents the combined effective advisory fee and administration fee as a percentage of average net assets for the latest fiscal year, after any waivers and/or reimbursements.

REPORT OF THE GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST (GBAB) BOARD OF TRUSTEES (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

(excluding interest expense) based on average net assets were at the median of its peer group. The Committee also noted that the peer group consists of only three funds, including the Fund and two peers from two large fund families, which limits its usefulness for comparison.

As part of its evaluation of the Fund’s advisory fee, the Committee considered how such fee compared to the advisory fee charged by Guggenheim to one or more other clients that it manages pursuant to similar investment strategies, noting that, in certain instances, Guggenheim charges a lower advisory fee to such other clients. In this connection, the Committee considered, among other things, Guggenheim’s representations about the significant differences between managing registered funds as compared to other types of accounts and differences between managing a closed-end fund as compared to an open-end fund. The Committee also considered Guggenheim’s explanation that lower fees are charged in certain instances due to various other factors, including the scope of contract, type of investors, fee structure, applicable legal, governance and capital structures, tax status and historical pricing reasons. In addition, the Committee took into account Guggenheim’s discussion of the regulatory, operational, legal and entrepreneurial risks involved with the Fund as compared to other types of accounts. The Committee concluded that the information it received demonstrated that the aggregate services provided to, and the specific circumstances of, the Fund were sufficiently different from the services provided to, or the specific circumstances of, other clients with similar investment strategies and/or that the risks borne by Guggenheim were sufficiently greater than those associated with managing other clients with similar investment strategies to support the difference in fees.

With respect to the costs of services provided and benefits realized by Guggenheim Investments from its relationship with the Fund, the Committee reviewed a profitability analysis and data from management setting forth the average assets under management for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, gross revenues received, and expenses incurred directly or through allocations, by Guggenheim Investments, earnings and the operating margin/profitability rate, including variance information relative to the foregoing amounts as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. In addition, the Head of Finance Operations of Guggenheim Investments reviewed with, and addressed questions from, the Committee concerning the expense allocation methodology employed in producing the profitability analysis. In the course of its review of Guggenheim Investments’ profitability, the Committee took into account the methods used by Guggenheim Investments to determine expenses and profit and the representation by the Head of Finance Operations of Guggenheim Investments that such methods provided a reasonable basis for determining the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Fund. The Committee considered all of the foregoing, among other things,

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹¹⁵


REPORT OF THE GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST (GBAB) BOARD OF TRUSTEES (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

in evaluating the costs of services provided, the profitability to Guggenheim Investments and the profitability rates presented.

The Committee also considered other benefits available to the Adviser because of its relationship with the Fund and noted Guggenheim’s statement that it does not believe the Adviser derives any such “fall-out” benefits. In this regard, the Committee noted Guggenheim’s statement indicating that, although it does not consider such benefits to be fall-out benefits, the Adviser may benefit from certain synergies, such as enhanced visibility of the Adviser and its products and services with the correlative opportunity to increase sales and distribution of these products and services, and other synergies arising from offering a broad spectrum of products and services, including the Fund.

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written) at the April Meeting and the May Meetings, as well as other considerations, the Committee concluded that the comparative fees and the benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund were appropriate and that the Adviser’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale: The Committee received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund as the Fund’s assets grow, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Committee considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to and shared with the shareholders. The Committee considered that advisory fee breakpoints generally are not relevant given the structural nature of closed-end funds, which, though able to conduct additional share offerings periodically, do not continuously offer new shares and thus, do not experience daily inflows and outflows of capital. In addition, the Committee took into account Guggenheim’s belief that given the relative size of the Fund, breakpoints are not appropriate at this time. The Committee also considered the additional shares offered by the Fund through secondary offerings in the past and considered that to the extent the Fund’s assets increase over time (whether through additional periodic offerings or internal growth from asset appreciation), the Fund and its shareholders should realize economies of scale as certain expenses, such as Fund fixed costs, become a smaller percentage of overall assets.

Sub-Advisory Agreement

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Sub-Adviser: As noted above, because both the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser for the Fund—GFIA and GPIM, respectively—are part of Guggenheim Investments and the services provided by the Adviser on the one hand and the Sub-Adviser on the other cannot be ascribed to distinct legal entities, the Committee did not separately evaluate the services provided under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Therefore, the Committee considered the qualifications, experience and skills of the Fund’s portfolio management team in connection with the Committee’s evaluation of Guggenheim’s investment professionals under the Investment Advisory Agreement. With respect to Guggenheim’s resources and the Sub- Adviser’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, as noted above, the Committee considered the financial condition of GIHB and the various entities comprising Guggenheim Investments. The Committee also considered the acceptability of the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the scope of services required to be performed by the Sub-Adviser.

Investment Performance: The Committee considered the returns of the Fund under its evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Comparative Fees, Costs of Services Provided and the Benefits Realized by the Sub-Adviser from Its Relationship with the Fund: The Committee considered that the Sub-Advisory Agreement is with an affiliate of the Adviser, that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser from its own fees so that the sub-advisory fee rate for the Fund does not impact the fees paid by the Fund and that the Sub-Adviser’s revenues were included in the calculation of Guggenheim Investments’ profitability. Given its conclusion of the reasonableness of the advisory fee, the Committee concluded that the sub-advisory fee rate for the Fund was reasonable.

Economies of Scale: The Committee recognized that, because the Sub-Adviser’s fees are paid by the Adviser and not the Fund, the analysis of economies of scale was more appropriate in the context of the Committee’s consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, which was separately considered. (See “Investment Advisory Agreement – Economies of Scale” above.)

Overall Conclusions

The Committee concluded that the investment advisory fees are fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of the services provided and other benefits received and that the renewal of the Agreements is in the best interest of the Fund. In reaching this conclusion, no single factor was determinative or conclusive and individual Committee members, in the exercise of their informed business judgment, may afford different weights to different factors.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN (Unaudited)	May 31, 2026

Unless the registered owner of common shares elects to receive cash by contacting Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends declared on common shares of the Trust will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator for shareholders in the Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional common shares of the Trust. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may re-invest that cash in additional common shares of the Trust for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your common shares of the Trust to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.

The Plan Administrator will open an account for each common shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such common shareholder’s common shares are registered. Whenever the Trust declares a dividend or other distribution (together, a “Dividend”) payable in cash, nonparticipants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Trust (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commission per common share is equal to or greater than the net asset value per common share, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of Newly Issued Common Shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the net asset value per common share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market value on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per common share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the net asset value per common share is greater than the closing market value plus estimated brokerage commission, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in common shares acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases.

For federal income tax purposes, the Trust generally would be able to claim a deduction for distributions to shareholders with respect to the common shares

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹¹⁹


DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

issued at up to a 5-percent discount from the closing market value pursuant to the Plan.

If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per common share exceeds the net asset value per common share, the average per common share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the net asset value of the common shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer common shares than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued Common Shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open-Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open-Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares at net asset value per common share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per common share; the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date.

The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instruction of the participants.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commission incurred in connection with Open-Market Purchases. 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.

The Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, the Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 30170 College Station, TX 77842-3170: Attention: Shareholder Services Department, Phone Number: (866) 488-3559 or online at www.computershare.com/ investor.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited)	May 31, 2026

CHANGES OCCURRING DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 2026¹

The following information is a summary of certain changes during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026. This information may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you purchased the Trust.

Although the Trust is already permitted to invest in preferred securities, as of the date of this shareholder report, preferred securities are added to the Trust’s principal investment strategies, policies and risks. Please refer to the sections titled “Investment Policies” and “Portfolio Composition—Preferred Securities” below. In connection with these changes, the Trust will be subject to a greater extent to the risks associated with investments in preferred securities, as described under the section titled “Principal Risks of the Trust—Preferred Securities Risk” below.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

The Trust’s primary investment objective is to provide current income with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Trust’s investment objectives will be achieved. The Trust’s investment objectives are considered fundamental and may not be changed without the approval of the holders of the Trust’s common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”).

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION

Principal Investment Strategies

The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of taxable municipal securities, including Build America Bonds (“BABs”), and other investment grade, income generating debt securities, including debt instruments issued by non-profit entities (such as entities related to healthcare, higher education and housing), municipal conduits, project finance corporations, and tax-exempt municipal securities.

Duration Management Strategy “Duration” is a measure of the price volatility of a security as a result of changes in market rates of interest, based on the weighted average timing of a security’s expected principal and interest payments. There is no limit on the remaining maturity or duration of any individual security in which the Trust may invest, nor will the Trust’s portfolio be managed to any duration benchmark prior to taking into account the duration management strategy discussed herein.

¹ Certain disclosures in this section have been reorganized, enhanced and /or supplemented since the Trust’s prior annual report

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹²¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

The Trust intends to employ investment and trading strategies to seek to maintain the leverage-adjusted portfolio duration to generally less than 15 years. The Adviser may seek to manage the duration of the Trust’s portfolio through the use of derivative instruments, including U.S. treasury swaps, credit default swaps, total return swaps and futures contracts to seek to reduce the overall volatility of the Trust’s portfolio to changes in market interest rates. For example, the Adviser may seek to manage the overall duration through the combination of the sale of interest- rate swaps on the long end of the yield curve (for example a transaction in which the Trust would pay a fixed interest rate on a 30 year swap transaction) with the purchase of an interest-rate swap on the intermediate portion of the yield curve (for example a transaction in which the Trust would receive a fixed interest rate on a ten year swap transaction). In addition, the Trust may invest in short-duration fixed- income securities, which may help to decrease the overall duration of the Trust’s portfolio while also potentially adding incremental yield. The Adviser may seek to manage the Trust’s duration in a flexible and opportunistic manner based primarily on then current market conditions and interest rate levels. The Trust may incur costs in implementing the duration management strategy, but such strategy will seek to reduce the volatility of the Trust’s portfolio. There can be no assurance that the Adviser’s duration management strategy will be successful at any given time in managing the duration of the Trust’s portfolio or helping the Trust to achieve its investment objectives.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Trust may engage in reverse repurchase agreements. At times, the Trust engages significantly in reverse repurchase agreements and, as a result, the Trust is particularly subject to the risks associated with reverse repurchase agreements during these times. In reverse repurchase agreement transactions, the Trust sells portfolio securities or other assets to financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and agrees to repurchase them at a particular date and price. Proceeds of the sale will be invested in additional instruments for the Trust, and the income from these investments will generate income for the Trust.

Portfolio Composition

In seeking to achieve its investment objectives, the Trust will or may ordinarily invest in, among other investment categories, the following categories of investments:

Municipal Securities. The Trust may invest in taxable municipal securities (including BABs) and tax-exempt municipal securities, including municipal bonds and notes, other securities issued to finance and refinance public projects, and other related securities and derivative instruments creating exposure to municipal bonds, notes and securities that provide for the payment of interest income that is exempt from regular federal income tax. Municipal securities are often issued by state and local governmental entities to finance or refinance public projects such as roads, schools,

¹²²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

and water supply systems. Municipal securities may also be issued on behalf of private entities or for private activities, such as housing, medical and educational facility construction, or for privately owned transportation, electric utility or pollution control projects. Municipal securities may be issued on a long-term basis to provide permanent financing. The repayment of such debt may be secured generally by a pledge of the full faith and credit taxing powers of the issuer, a limited or special tax, or any other revenue source, including project revenues, which may include tolls, fees and other user charges, lease payments and mortgage payments. Municipal securities may also be issued to finance projects on a short-term interim basis, anticipating repayment with the proceeds of the later issuance of long-term debt.

Municipal securities are either general obligation or revenue bonds and typically are issued to finance public projects (such as roads or public buildings), to pay general operating expenses or to refinance outstanding debt. General obligation bonds are backed by the full faith and credit, or taxing authority, of the issuer and may be repaid from any revenue source; revenue bonds may be repaid only from the revenues of a specific facility or source. The Trust also may purchase municipal securities that represent lease obligations, municipal notes, pre-refunded municipal bonds, insured municipal securities, private activity bonds, taxable municipal bonds, bonds issued by special taxing districts, floating rate securities and other related securities and may purchase derivative instruments that create exposure to municipal bonds, notes and securities. The Trust may purchase municipal securities representing a wide range of sectors and issued for a wide range of purposes.

The yields on municipal securities depend on a variety of factors, including prevailing interest rates and the condition of the general money market and the municipal bond market, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the issue. A municipal security’s market value generally will depend upon its form, maturity, call features, and interest rate, as well as the credit quality of the issuer, all such factors examined in the context of the municipal securities market and interest rate levels and trends. The market value of municipal securities will vary with changes in interest rate levels and as a result of changing evaluations of the ability of their issuers to meet interest and principal payments.

Municipal Leases and Certificates of Participation. The Trust also may purchase municipal securities that represent lease obligations and certificates of participation in such leases. These carry special risks because the issuer of the securities may not be obligated to appropriate money annually to make payments under the lease. A municipal lease is an obligation in the form of a lease or installment purchase that is issued by a state or local government to acquire equipment and facilities. Income from such obligations generally is exempt from state and local taxes in the state of issuance. Leases and installment purchase or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹²³


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

title to the leased asset to pass eventually to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. The debt issuance limitations are deemed to be inapplicable because of the inclusion in many leases or contracts of “non-appropriation” clauses that relieve the governmental issuer of any obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purpose by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. In addition, such leases or contracts may be subject to the temporary abatement of payments in the event the issuer is prevented from maintaining occupancy of the leased premises or utilizing the leased equipment or facilities. Although the obligations may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and result in a delay in recovering, or the failure to recover fully, the Trust’s original investment. To the extent that the Trust invests in unrated municipal leases or participates in such leases, the credit quality and risk of cancellation of such unrated leases will be monitored on an ongoing basis. In order to seek to reduce this risk, the Trust will only purchase municipal securities representing lease obligations where the Adviser believes the issuer has a strong incentive to continue making appropriations until maturity.

A certificate of participation represents an undivided interest in an unmanaged pool of municipal leases, an installment purchase agreement or other instruments. The certificates are typically issued by a municipal agency, a trust or other entity that has received an assignment of the payments to be made by the state or political subdivision under such leases or installment purchase agreements. Such certificates provide the Trust with the right to a pro rata undivided interest in the underlying municipal securities. In addition, such participations generally provide the Trust with the right to demand payment, on not more than seven days’ notice, of all or any part of the Trust’s participation interest in the underlying municipal securities, plus accrued interest.

Municipal Notes. The Trust also may purchase municipal securities in the form of notes that generally are used to provide for short-term capital needs, in anticipation of an issuer’s receipt of other revenues or financing, and typically have maturities of up to three years. Such instruments may include tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes, tax and revenue anticipation notes and construction loan notes. Tax anticipation notes are issued to finance the working capital needs of governments. Generally, they are issued in anticipation of various tax revenues, such as income, sales, property, use and business taxes, and are payable from these specific future taxes. Revenue anticipation notes are issued in expectation of receipt of other kinds of revenue, such as federal revenues available under federal revenue

¹²⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

sharing programs. Bond anticipation notes are issued to provide interim financing until long-term bond financing can be arranged. In most cases, the long-term bonds then provide the funds needed for repayment of the bond anticipation notes. Tax and revenue anticipation notes combine the funding sources of both tax anticipation notes and revenue anticipation notes. Construction loan notes are sold to provide construction financing. Mortgage notes insured by the Federal Housing Authority secure these notes; however, the proceeds from the insurance may be less than the economic equivalent of the payment of principal and interest on the mortgage note if there has been a default. The anticipated revenues from taxes, grants or bond financing generally secure the obligations of an issuer of municipal notes. An investment in such instruments, however, presents a risk that the anticipated revenues will not be received or that such revenues will be insufficient to satisfy the issuer’s payment obligations under the notes or that refinancing will be otherwise unavailable.

Pre-Refunded Municipal Securities. The principal of, and interest on, pre- refunded municipal securities are no longer paid from the original revenue source for the securities. Instead, the source of such payments is typically an escrow fund consisting of U.S. Government securities. The assets in the escrow fund are derived from the proceeds of refunding bonds issued by the same issuer as the pre-refunded municipal securities. Issuers of municipal securities use this advance refunding technique to obtain more favorable terms with respect to securities that are not yet subject to call or redemption by the issuer. For example, advance refunding enables an issuer to refinance debt at lower market interest rates, restructure debt to improve cash flow or eliminate restrictive covenants in the indenture or other governing instrument for the pre-refunded municipal securities. However, except for a change in the revenue source from which principal and interest payments are made, the pre-refunded municipal securities remain outstanding on their original terms until they mature or are redeemed by the issuer.

Insured Municipal Securities. The Trust may purchase municipal securities that are additionally secured by insurance, bank credit agreements or escrow accounts. The credit quality of companies that provide such credit enhancements will affect the value of these securities. Although the insurance feature is designed to reduce certain financial risks, the premiums for insurance and the higher market price paid for insured obligations may reduce the Trust’s income, which may in turn negatively affect the Trust’s net asset value. The Trust may use any insurer, regardless of its rating. A municipal security typically will be deemed to have the rating of its insurer. However, in the event an insurer has a credit rating below the rating of an underlying municipal security or is perceived by the market to have such a lower rating, the municipal security rating would be the more relevant rating and the value of the municipal security would more

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹²⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. As a result, the value of insurance associated with a municipal security may decline and the insurance may not add any value. The insurance feature normally provides that it guarantees the full payment of principal and interest when due of an insured obligation, but does not guarantee the market value of the insured obligation or the net asset value of the Common Shares represented by such insured obligation.

Private Activity Bonds. Private activity bonds, formerly referred to as industrial development bonds, are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds to provide privately operated housing facilities, airport, mass transit or port facilities, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal or hazardous waste treatment or disposal facilities and certain local facilities for water supply, gas or electricity. Other types of private activity bonds, the proceeds of which are used for the construction, equipment, repair or improvement of privately operated industrial or commercial facilities, may constitute municipal securities, although the current federal tax laws place substantial limitations on the size of such issues.

Taxable Municipal Bonds. The Trust invests in taxable municipal bonds that do not qualify for federal support. Taxable municipal bonds are municipal bonds in which interest paid to the bondholder does not qualify as tax-exempt for federal tax purposes because of the use to which the bond proceeds are put by the municipal borrower. Taxable municipal bonds may include bonds issued to finance sports facilities or investor-led housing, refunding of a refunded issue or borrowing to replenish a municipality’s underfunded pension plan. Taxable municipal bonds may be issued on behalf of private non-profit universities or hospitals. Although taxable municipal bonds are subject to federal taxation, they may not be subject to taxation by the state in which the municipal issuer is located.

Special Taxing Districts. Special taxing districts are organized to plan and finance infrastructure developments to induce residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bond financing methods such as tax increment finance, tax assessment, special services district and Mello-Roos bonds (a type of municipal bond established by the Community Facilities District Act of 1982), are generally payable solely from taxes or other revenues attributable to the specific projects financed by the bonds without recourse to the credit or taxing powers of related or overlapping municipalities. They often are exposed to real estate development-related risks and can have more taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established to secure such financings are generally limited as to the rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if development fails

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

to progress as anticipated or if larger taxpayers fail to pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the districts.

Corporate Bonds. The Trust may invest in corporate bonds. Corporate bonds are debt obligations issued by corporations and other business entities. Corporate bonds may be either secured or unsecured. Collateral used for secured debt includes real property, machinery, equipment, accounts receivable, stocks, bonds or notes. If a bond is unsecured, it is known as a debenture. Bondholders, as creditors, have a prior legal claim over common and preferred stockholders as to both income and assets of the corporation for the principal and interest due them and may have a prior claim over other creditors if liens or mortgages are involved. Interest on corporate bonds may be fixed or floating, or the bonds may be zero coupons. Interest on corporate bonds is typically paid semi-annually and is fully taxable to the bondholder. Corporate bonds contain elements of both interest-rate risk and credit risk. The market value of and income generated by a corporate bond generally is expected to rise and fall inversely with interest rates and may also be affected by, among other factors (such as economic and market conditions), the credit rating of the corporation, the corporation’s performance and perceptions of the corporation in the marketplace.

Debt Instruments. The Trust may invest in a variety of debt instruments (including bonds issued by non-profit entities, municipal conduits and project finance corporations), the value of which depends on the continuing ability of the debt issuers to meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due.

Municipal Conduit Bonds. Municipal conduit bonds, which are also referred to as private activity bonds or industrial revenue bonds, are issued by state and local governments or other entities for the purpose of financing the projects of certain private enterprises. Unlike municipal bonds, municipal conduit bonds are not backed by the full faith, credit or general taxing power of the issuing governmental entity. Rather, issuances of municipal conduit bonds are backed solely by revenues of the private enterprise involved.

Project Finance Instruments. The Trust may invest in instruments related to project finance, which is a type of financing commonly used for infrastructure, industry, and public service projects. In a project finance arrangement, the cash flow generated by the project is used to repay lenders while the project’s assets, rights and interest are held as secondary collateral.

Non-Profit Institutions Debt. The Trust may invest in debt issued by non-profit institutions, including foundations, museums, cultural institutions, colleges, universities, hospitals and healthcare systems.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹²⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Floating Rate Securities. The Trust may also invest in floating rate securities issued by special purpose trusts. The special purpose trust typically sells two classes of beneficial interests or securities: floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as short-term floaters or tender option bonds) and inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as inverse floaters or residual interest securities). The floating rate securities have first priority on the cash flow from the municipal bonds held by the special purpose trust. Typically, a third party, such as a bank, broker- dealer or other financial institution, grants the floating rate security holders the option, at periodic intervals, to tender their securities to the institution and receive the face value thereof. Floating rate securities may take the form of short-term floating rate securities or the option period may be substantially longer. Generally, the interest rate earned will be based upon the market rates for municipal securities with maturities or remarketing provisions that are comparable in duration to the periodic interval of the tender option, which may vary from weekly, to monthly, to extended periods of one year or multiple years. Since the option feature has a shorter term than the final maturity or first call date of the underlying bond deposited in the special purpose trust, the Trust as the holder of the floating rate security relies upon the terms of the agreement with the financial institution furnishing the option as well as the credit strength of that institution. As further assurance of liquidity, the terms of the special purpose trust provide for a liquidation of the municipal security deposited in the special purpose trust and the application of the proceeds to pay off the floating rate security. The special purpose trusts that are organized to issue both short-term floating rate securities and inverse floaters generally include liquidation triggers to protect the investor in the floating rate security.

Preferred Securities. The Trust may invest in preferred securities, including perpetual preferred securities and hybrid securities. Perpetual preferred securities are generally securities of the issuer that pay a fixed dividend and have priority over the issuer’s common shares as to the payment of dividends (i.e., the issuer cannot pay dividends on its common shares until the dividends on the preferred shares are current) and as to the payout of proceeds of a bankruptcy or other liquidation, but are subordinate to an issuer’s senior debt and junior debt as to both types of payments. Additionally, in bankruptcy or other liquidation, perpetual preferred securities are generally subordinate to an issuer’s trade creditors and other general obligations. Perpetual preferred securities typically have a fixed liquidation (or “par”) value.

The term “preferred securities” may also include hybrid securities and other types of preferred securities that do not have the features described above. Preferred securities that are hybrid securities often behave similarly to investments in perpetual preferred securities and are regarded by market investors as being part of the preferred securities market. Such hybrid securities possess varying combinations of features of both debt and perpetual preferred securities and as

¹²⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

such they may constitute senior debt, junior debt or preferred shares in an issuer’s capital structure.

The term “preferred securities” also includes certain forms of debt that are regarded by the investment marketplace to be part of the broader preferred securities market. Among these preferred securities are certain exchange-listed debt issues that historically have several attributes, including trading and investment performance characteristics, in common with exchange-listed perpetual preferred securities and hybrid securities. Generally, these types of preferred securities are senior debt in the capital structure of an issuer.

As a general matter, dividend or interest payments on preferred securities may be cumulative or non-cumulative and may be deferred (in the case of cumulative payments) or skipped (in the case of non-cumulative payments) at the option of the issuer.

Generally, preferred security holders have no voting rights with respect to the issuing company, except in some cases voting rights may arise if the issuer fails to pay the preferred share dividends or if a declaration of default occurs and is continuing.

Preferred securities may either trade over-the-counter (“OTC”) or trade on an exchange. Preferred securities can be structured differently for retail and institutional investors, and the Trust may invest in preferred securities of either structure.

Zero Coupon Bonds. A zero coupon bond is a bond that does not pay interest either for the entire life of the obligation or for an initial period after the issuance of the obligation. When held to its maturity, its return comes from the difference between the purchase price and its maturity value. A zero coupon bond is normally issued and traded at a deep discount from face value. Zero coupon bonds allow an issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater credit risk than bonds that pay interest currently or in cash. The market prices of zero coupon bonds are affected to a greater extent by changes in prevailing levels of interest rates and thereby tend to be more volatile in price than securities that pay interest periodically. In addition, the Trust would be required to distribute the income on any of these instruments as it accrues, even though the Trust will not receive all of the income on a current basis or in cash. Thus, the Trust may have to sell other investments, including when it may not be advisable to do so, to make income distributions to its Common Shareholders.

Senior Loans. Senior Loans are floating rate loans made to corporations and other non-governmental entities and issuers. Senior Loans typically hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity (the “Borrower”), are typically secured with specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹²⁹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debt holders and stockholders of the Borrower. The proceeds of Senior Loans primarily are used to finance leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, mergers, acquisitions, stock repurchases, refinancings and to finance internal growth and for other corporate purposes. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium or credit spread.

Senior Loans typically have a stated term of between five and nine years, and have interest rates which typically are redetermined daily, monthly, quarterly or semi- annually. Longer interest rate reset periods generally increase fluctuations in the Trust’s net asset value as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Trust is not subject to any restrictions with respect to the maturity of Senior Loans held in its portfolio. As a result, as short-term interest rates increase, interest payable to the Trust from its investments in Senior Loans should increase, and as short-term interest rates decrease, interest payable to the Trust from its investments in Senior Loans should decrease. Because of prepayments, the Adviser expects the average life of the Senior Loans in which the Trust invests to be shorter than the stated maturity.

Senior Loans are subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal. Such non-payment would result in a reduction of income to the Trust, a reduction in the value of the investment and a potential decrease in the net asset value of the Trust. There can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral securing a Senior Loan would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of bankruptcy of a Borrower, the Trust could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a Senior Loan and may bear costs associated with such collateral. The collateral securing a Senior Loan may lose all or substantially all of its value in the event of the bankruptcy of a Borrower. Some Senior Loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate such Senior Loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the Borrower or take other action detrimental to the holders of Senior Loans including, in certain circumstances, invalidating such Senior Loans or causing interest previously paid to be refunded to the Borrower. If interest were required to be refunded, it could negatively affect the Trust’s performance.

Many Senior Loans in which the Trust invests may not be rated by an NRSRO, will not be registered with the SEC, or any state securities commission, and will not be listed on any national securities exchange. The amount of public information available with respect to Senior Loans will generally be less extensive than that available for registered or exchange-listed securities. In evaluating the

¹³⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

creditworthiness of Borrowers, the Adviser will consider, and may rely in part on, analyses performed by others. Borrowers may have outstanding debt obligations that are rated below investment grade by an NRSRO. Many of the Senior Loans in which the Trust invests will have been assigned below investment grade ratings by an NRSRO. In the event Senior Loans are not rated, they are likely to be the equivalent of below investment grade quality. Because of the protective features of Senior Loans, the Adviser believes that Senior Loans tend to have more favorable loss recovery rates as compared to more junior types of below investment grade debt obligations. The Adviser does not view ratings as the determinative factor in their investment decisions and rely more upon their credit analysis abilities than upon ratings.

No active trading market may exist for some Senior Loans, and some loans may be subject to restrictions on resale. A secondary market may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the ability to realize full value and thus cause a material decline in the Trust’s net asset value. In addition, the Trust may not be able to readily dispose of its Senior Loans at prices that approximate those at which the Trust could sell such loans if they were more widely-traded and, as a result of such illiquidity, the Trust may have to sell other investments including at times when it may not be advantageous or desirable to do so, or engage in borrowing transactions if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations. During periods of limited supply and liquidity of Senior Loans, the Trust’s yield may be lower.

Although changes in prevailing interest rates can be expected to cause some fluctuations in the value of Senior Loans (due to the fact that floating rates on Senior Loans reset only periodically), the value of Senior Loans is generally less sensitive to changes in market interest rates than that of fixed rate instruments. As a result, to the extent the Trust invests in floating-rate Senior Loans, the Trust’s portfolio may be less volatile and less sensitive to changes in market interest rates than if the Trust invested in fixed rate obligations. Similarly, a sudden and significant increase in market interest rates may cause a decline in the value of these investments and in the Trust’s net asset value. Other factors, including rating downgrades, credit deterioration, a large downward movement in stock prices, a disparity in supply and demand of certain securities or market conditions that reduce liquidity, can reduce the value of Senior Loans and other debt obligations, impairing the Trust’s net asset value.

The Trust may purchase and retain in its portfolio a Senior Loan where the Borrower has experienced, or may be perceived to be likely to experience, credit problems, including involvement in or recent emergence from bankruptcy reorganization proceedings or other forms of debt restructuring. Such investments may provide opportunities for enhanced income as well as capital appreciation, although

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹³¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

they also will be subject to greater risk of loss. At times, in connection with the restructuring of a Senior Loan either outside of bankruptcy court or in the context of bankruptcy court proceedings, the Trust may determine or be required to accept equity securities or junior debt securities in exchange for all or a portion of a Senior Loan.

The Trust may purchase Senior Loans on a direct assignment basis from a participant in the original syndicate of lenders or from subsequent assignees of such interests. If the Trust purchases a Senior Loan on direct assignment, it typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement of the assigning lender and becomes a lender under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning lender. Investments in Senior Loans on a direct assignment basis may involve additional risks to the Trust. For example, if such loan is foreclosed, the Trust could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral.

The Trust may also purchase, without limitation, participations in Senior Loans. The participation by the Trust in a lender’s portion of a Senior Loan typically will result in the Trust having a contractual relationship only with such lender, not with the Borrower. As a result, the Trust may have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by such lender of payments from the Borrower. Such indebtedness may be secured or unsecured. Loan participations typically represent direct participations in a loan to a Borrower, and generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending syndicates. The Trust may participate in such syndications, or can buy part of a loan, becoming a part lender. When purchasing loan participations, the Trust assumes the credit risk associated with the Borrower and may assume the credit risk associated with an interposed bank or other financial intermediary.

Additionally, the Trust invests in or is exposed to loans and other similar debt obligations that are sometimes referred to as “covenant-lite” loans or obligations (“covenant-lite obligations”), which are generally subject to more risk than investments that contain traditional financial maintenance covenants and financial reporting requirements. The Trust may have fewer rights with respect to covenant- lite obligations, including fewer protections against the possibility of default and fewer remedies in the event of default. As a result, investments in (or exposure to) covenant-lite obligations are subject to more risk than investments in (or exposure to) certain other types of obligations.

Unregistered, Restricted and Illiquid Securities. The Trust may invest in securities or other instruments that are, at the time of investment, illiquid. Illiquid securities include securities legally restricted as to resale, securities for which there is no readily available trading market or that are otherwise illiquid. The Trust may acquire

¹³²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

securities through private placements under which it may agree to contractual restrictions on the resale of such securities. Such restrictions might prevent their sale at a time when such sale would otherwise be desirable. Certain restricted securities may, however, be treated as liquid by the Adviser after consideration of factors such as trading activity, availability of market quotations and number of dealers willing to purchase the security. If the Trust invests in restricted securities for which there is a limited trading market, the level of portfolio illiquidity may be increased to the extent that eligible buyers become uninterested in purchasing such securities.

Securities in which the Trust may invest may be unregistered, restricted or illiquid. The Trust may invest in privately issued securities of both public and private companies, which may be illiquid. Securities of below investment grade quality tend to be less liquid than investment grade debt securities, and securities of financially distressed or bankrupt issuers may be particularly illiquid. Loans typically are not registered with the SEC and are not listed on any securities exchange and may at times be illiquid. Loan investments through participations and assignments are subject to illiquidity risk. Structured finance securities are typically privately offered and sold, and thus are not registered under the securities laws. As a result, investments in structured finance securities may be characterized by the Trust as illiquid securities; however, an active dealer market may exist which would allow such securities to be considered liquid in some circumstances. The securities and obligations of foreign issuers, particular issuers in emerging markets, may be more likely to experience periods of illiquidity. Derivative instruments, particularly privately- negotiated or over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, may be illiquid, and there can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Trust seeks to close out a derivative position.

It may be difficult to sell illiquid securities at a price representing the fair value until such time as such securities may be sold publicly or to sell such securities at all. In the case of unregistered securities, where registration is required to facilitate the sale of such securities, a considerable period may elapse between a decision to sell the securities and the time when it would be permitted to sell. Thus, the Trust may not be able to obtain as favorable a price as that prevailing at the time of the decision to sell.

Private Securities. The Trust may invest in privately issued fixed income and other debt securities (“Income Securities”) of both public and private companies (“Private Securities”), including those issued on a private placement basis pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A thereunder. Private Securities have additional risk considerations in addition to those of comparable public

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹³³


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

securities, including the availability of financial information about the issuer and valuation and liquidity issues.

Investment Funds. As an alternative to holding investments directly, the Trust may also obtain investment exposure to securities in which it may invest directly by investing up to 20% of its Managed Assets in other investment companies, including U.S. registered investment companies and/or other U.S. or foreign pooled investment vehicles (collectively, “Investment Funds”). Investment Funds do not include structured finance investments, such as asset-backed securities (“ABS”). Investments in other Investment Funds (which may be managed by the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and/or their affiliates) involve operating expenses and fees at the Investment Funds level that are in addition to the expenses and fees borne by the Trust and are borne indirectly by holders of Common Shares (“Common Shareholders”). Investments in Investment Funds frequently expose the Trust to an additional layer of Financial Leverage. The use of leverage by Investment Funds may cause the Investments Funds’ market price of common shares and/or NAV to be more volatile and can magnify the effect of any losses. From time to time, the Trust may invest a significant portion of its assets in Investment Funds that employ leverage.

Synthetic Investments. As an alternative to holding investments directly, the Trust may also obtain investment exposure to investments in which the Trust may invest directly through the use of derivative instruments (including, but not limited to, swaps, options, forwards, notional principal contracts or financial instruments) to seek to replicate, modify or replace the economic attributes associated with an investment in which the Trust may invest directly. To the extent that the Trust obtains indirect investment exposure through the use of the foregoing derivative instruments to investments with economic characteristics similar to taxable municipal securities and other investment grade, income generating debt securities, including debt instruments issued by nonprofit entities (such as entities related to healthcare, higher education and housing), municipal conduits, project finance corporations, and tax-exempt municipal securities, such investments will be counted for purposes of the Trust’s Names Rule policy (as defined under “Additional Information Regarding the Trust—Investment Policies”). The Trust has not adopted any percentage limitation with respect to the overall percentage of investment exposure to taxable municipal securities and other investment grade, income generating debt securities, including debt instruments issued by non-profit entities (such as entities related to healthcare, higher education and housing), municipal conduits, project finance corporations, and tax-exempt municipal securities that the Trust may obtain through the use of derivative instruments.

Strategic Transactions. In addition to those derivatives transactions utilized in connection with the Trust’s duration management strategy, the Trust may, but is

¹³⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

not required to, use various portfolio strategies, including derivatives transactions involving interest rate and foreign currency transactions, swaps, options and futures (“Strategic Transactions”), to seek to earn income, facilitate portfolio management and mitigate risks. In the course of pursuing Strategic Transactions, the Trust may purchase and sell exchange-listed and over-the-counter put and call options on securities, instruments or equity and fixed-income indices, purchase and sell futures contracts and options thereon, and enter into swap, cap, floor or collar transactions. In addition, Strategic Transactions may also include new techniques, instruments or strategies that are developed or permitted as regulatory changes occur. Successful use of Strategic Transactions depends on the Adviser’s ability to predict correctly market movements, which cannot be assured. Losses on Strategic Transactions may reduce the Trust’s net asset value and its ability to pay distributions if they are not offset by gains on portfolio positions being hedged.

Structured Finance Investments. The Trust may invest in structured finance investments, which are Income Securities typically issued by special purpose vehicles that hold income-producing securities (e.g., mortgage loans, consumer debt payment obligations and other receivables) and other financial assets. Structured finance investments are designed to meet certain financial goals of investors. Typically, these investments provide investors with the potential for capital protection, income generation and/or the opportunity to generate capital growth. GPIM believes that structured finance investments may provide attractive risk- adjusted returns, frequent sector rotation opportunities and prospects for adding value through security selection. Structured finance investments primarily include (among others):

Mortgage-Related Securities. Mortgage-related securities are a form of derivative collateralized by pools of commercial or residential mortgages. Pools of mortgage loans are assembled as securities for sale to investors by various governmental, government-related and private organizations. These securities may include complex instruments such as collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) (including debt and preferred stock issued by REITs), and other real estate-related securities. The mortgage- related securities in which the Trust may invest include those with fixed, floating or variable interest rates, those with interest rates that change based on multiples of changes in a specified index of interest rates, and those with interest rates that change inversely to changes in interest rates, as well as those that do not bear interest. The Trust may invest in residential and commercial mortgage- related securities issued by governmental entities (i.e., agency mortgage-related securities) and private issuers (i.e., non-agency mortgage-related securities) including subordinated mortgage-related securities. The underlying assets of certain mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayments, which shorten the weighted average maturity and may lower the return of such securities, and

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹³⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

extension, which lengthens expected maturity as payments on principal may occur at a slower rate or later than expected.

Asset-Backed Securities. ABS are a form of structured debt obligation. ABS are payment claims that are securitized in the form of negotiable paper that is issued by a financing company (generally called a special purpose vehicle). Collateral assets are brought into a pool according to specific diversification rules. A special purpose vehicle is founded for the purpose of securitizing these payment claims and the assets of the special purpose vehicle are the diversified pool of collateral assets. The special purpose vehicle issues marketable securities that are intended to represent a lower level of risk than an underlying collateral asset individually, due to the diversification in the pool. The redemption of the securities issued by the special purpose vehicle takes place out of the cash flow generated by the collected assets. A special purpose vehicle may issue multiple securities with different priorities to the cash flows generated and the collateral assets. The collateral for ABS may include, among other assets, home equity loans, automobile and credit card receivables, boat loans, computer leases, airplane leases, mobile home loans, recreational vehicle loans and hospital account receivables. The Trust may invest in these and other types of ABS that may be developed in the future. There is the possibility that recoveries on the underlying collateral may not, in some cases, be available or may be insufficient to support payments on these securities.

Collateralized Debt Obligations. A collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) is an asset-backed security whose underlying collateral is typically a portfolio of bonds, bank loans, other structured finance securities and/or synthetic instruments. Where the underlying collateral is a portfolio of bonds, a CDO is referred to as a collateralized bond obligation (“CBO”). Where the underlying collateral is a portfolio of bank loans, a CDO is referred to as a collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”). Investors in CBOs and CLOs bear the credit risk of the underlying collateral.

Multiple tranches of securities are issued by the CLO, offering investors various maturity and credit risk characteristics. Tranches are categorized as senior, mezzanine, and subordinated/ equity, according to their degree of risk. If there are defaults or the CLO’s collateral otherwise underperforms, scheduled payments to senior tranches take precedence over those of mezzanine tranches, and scheduled payments to mezzanine tranches take precedence over those to subordinated/equity tranches. This prioritization of the cash flows from a pool of securities among the several tranches of the CLO is a key feature of the CLO structure. If there are funds remaining after each tranche of debt receives its contractual interest rate and the CLO meets or exceeds required collateral coverage levels (or other similar covenants), the remaining funds may be paid to

¹³⁶^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

the subordinated (or residual) tranche (often referred to as the “equity” tranche). CLOs are subject to the same risk of prepayment and extension described with respect to certain mortgage-related and ABS.

The Trust may invest in senior, rated tranches as well as mezzanine and subordinated tranches of CLOs. Investment in the subordinated tranche is subject to additional risks. The subordinated tranche does not receive ratings and is considered the riskiest portion of the capital structure of a CLO because it bears the bulk of defaults from the loans in the CLO and serves to protect the other, more senior tranches from default in many but not all circumstances.

Risk-Linked Securities. Risk-linked securities (“RLS”) are a form of derivative issued by insurance companies and insurance-related special purpose vehicles that apply securitization techniques to catastrophic property and casualty damages. RLS are typically debt obligations for which the return of principal and the payment of interest are contingent on the non-occurrence of a pre-defined “trigger event.” Investments in RLS may be linked to a broad range of insurance risks, which can be broken down into three major categories: natural risks (such as hurricanes and earthquakes), weather risks (such as insurance based on a regional average temperature) and non-natural events (such as aerospace and shipping catastrophes). Accordingly, depending on the specific terms and structure of the RLS, this trigger could be the result of a hurricane, earthquake or some other catastrophic event.

Certain Other Investment Practices. The Trust may also engage in certain other investment transactions described herein. The Trust may enter into forward commitments for the purchase or sale of securities. The Trust may enter into transactions on a “when issued” or “delayed delivery” basis, in excess of customary settlement periods for the type of security involved. The Trust may lend portfolio securities to securities broker-dealers or financial institutions and enter into short sales and repurchase agreements. The Trust may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using similar investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls).

When Issued, Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments. The Trust may enter into forward commitments for the purchase or sale of securities, including on a “when issued” or “delayed delivery” basis, in excess of customary settlement periods for the type of security involved, in order to acquire the security or to hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates and price. In some cases, a forward commitment may be conditioned upon the occurrence of a subsequent event, such as approval and consummation of a merger, corporate reorganization or debt restructuring (i.e., a when, as and if issued security). When such transactions are negotiated, the price is fixed at the time of the commitment, with payment and

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹³⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

delivery taking place in the future, generally a month or more after the date of the commitment. While it will only enter into a forward commitment with the intention of actually acquiring the security, the Trust may sell the security before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable. Securities purchased under a forward commitment are subject to market fluctuation, and no interest (or dividends) accrues to the Trust prior to the settlement date.

To-Be-Announced Transactions. The Trust may enter into forward commitments to purchase or sell mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price at a future date on a “To-Be-Announced” (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA trade, the selling counterparty does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the purchasing counterparty agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms. TBA trades may be considered securities in themselves. The purchasing counterparty incurs a risk of loss, which would occur if the value of the securities to be purchased goes down prior to the settlement date. The selling counterparty incurs a risk of loss, which would occur if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to the settlement date. In addition, the selling counterparty may not deliver the security as promised. FINRA rules include mandatory margin requirements that require the Trust to post collateral in connection with their TBA transactions. The required collateralization of TBA trades could increase the cost of TBA transactions to the Trust and impose added operational complexity.

The Trust may enter into roll transactions using TBAs in which it offsets a TBA trade requiring delivery in the current month and simultaneously enters into a similar TBA trade (for example, same type, coupon and maturity) requiring delivery at an agreed upon future time. Such TBA transactions represent purchases and sales and thus do not constitute Financial Leverage. However, similar to other forward transactions, such TBA transactions may create investment leverage and may increase the Trust’s risk and volatility.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. To seek to increase income, the Trust may lend its portfolio securities to securities broker-dealers or financial institutions if (i) the loan is collateralized in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and (ii) no loan will cause the value of all loaned securities to exceed 331/3% of the value of the Trust’s total assets. If the borrower fails to maintain the requisite amount of collateral, the loan automatically terminates and the Trust could use the collateral to replace the securities while holding the borrower liable for any excess of replacement cost over the value of the collateral. As with any extension of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery and in some cases even loss of rights in collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. There can be no assurance that borrowers will not fail financially. On termination of the loan, the borrower is required to return the securities to the Trust, and any gain or loss in the market price during the period of the loan would inure to the Trust. If the other

¹³⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

party to the loan petitions for bankruptcy or becomes subject to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the law regarding the rights of the Trust is unsettled. As a result, under extreme circumstances, there may be a restriction on the Trust’s ability to sell the collateral and the Trust would suffer a loss.

Co-Investments. The Trust may acquire and dispose a portion of its investments in privately negotiated transactions alongside affiliated entities, including affiliates of the Trust, the Adviser and GPIM (i.e., co-investment transactions), subject to applicable law and the requirements and restrictions thereof. Co-investment transactions are subject to the risks associated with the relevant investments as well as heightened conflicts of interest, including, among others, in the allocation of investment opportunities. In certain circumstances, co-investments may be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of exemptive relief from the SEC, which the Trust, Adviser, GPIM and certain of their affiliates have received.

Sleeve Structure. Furthermore, GPIM may from time to time utilize a sleeve structure in managing the Trust. In this structure, GPIM implements the Trust’s investment strategies using component sleeves of investments comprising distinct sub-strategies or grouping similar investments in sub-accounts of the Trust that, collectively, comprise the Trust’s overall portfolio and investment strategies. This approach facilitates internal allocations and tracking of investments within a portfolio.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

The Trust’s 80% Investment Policy Adopted Pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Names Rule policy”).

Under normal circumstances:

•     The Trust invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in taxable municipal securities, including BABs, and other investment grade, income generating debt securities, including debt instruments issued by non-profit entities (such as entities related to healthcare, higher education and housing), municipal conduits, project finance corporations, and tax-exempt municipal securities.

Additional Investment Policies

Under normal circumstances:

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹³⁹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

•     The Trust will not invest more than 25% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities of any one state of origin.

•     The Trust will invest at least 50% of its Managed Assets in taxable municipal securities. For purposes of such 50% investment policy, taxable municipal securities means taxable municipal bonds.

•     The Trust invests at least 80% of its Managed Assets in securities that, at the time of investment, are investment grade quality.

•     The Trust may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in securities that, at the time of investment, are rated below investment grade (that is below Baa3 by Moody’s or below BBB- by S&P, Fitch, or the equivalent from another NRSRO) or are unrated by any NRSRO but judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.

Definitions.

For purposes of the Trust’s Names Rule policy, “taxable municipal bonds” generally are debt securities or similar obligations issued by or on behalf of a state or its political subdivision, or an agency or instrumentality of a state, its political subdivision, or a municipal corporation that are not exempt from federal, state or local taxation. Municipal bonds may be issued, for example, by states, cities, counties, special tax districts or special agencies or authorities of state or local governments. Taxable municipal bonds also include Build America Bonds (“BABs”), which qualify for federal subsidy payments under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Act”).

For purposes of the Trust’s Names Rule policy, “debt security” means any instrument representing credit extended to the issuer as well as instruments that have debt-like characteristics, such as certain preferred securities. Debt securities may include, but are not limited to, those issued by non-profit entities (such as entities related to healthcare, higher education and housing), municipal conduits, project finance corporations, and tax-exempt municipal securities.

For purposes of the Trust’s Names Rule policy and additional investment policy, the Trust considers a security to be “investment grade” if, at the time of investment, it is rated within the four highest letter grades by at least one of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”) (that is Baa3 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or BBB- or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), or the equivalent from another NRSRO that rate such security), even if it is rated lower by another, or if it is unrated by any NRSRO but judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.

Additional Information Regarding the Trust’s Investment Policies.

¹⁴⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

If NRSROs assign different ratings to the same security, the Trust will use the highest rating for purposes of determining the security’s credit quality.

NRSROs, such as Moody’s or S&P, are private services that provide ratings of the credit quality of debt obligations. Ratings assigned by an NRSRO are not absolute standards of credit quality but represent the opinion of the NRSRO as to the quality of the obligation. Ratings do not evaluate market risks or the liquidity of securities. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings and an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. To the extent that the issuer of a security pays an NRSRO for the analysis of its security, an inherent conflict of interest may exist that could affect the reliability of the rating. Ratings are relative and subjective and, although ratings may be useful in evaluating the safety of interest and principal payments, they do not evaluate the market value risk of such obligations. Although these ratings may be an initial criterion for selection of portfolio investments, the Sub-Adviser also independently evaluates these securities and the ability of the issuers of such securities to pay interest and principal. To the extent that the Trust invests in lower grade securities, the Trust’s ability to achieve its investment objective will be more dependent on the Sub-Adviser’s credit analysis than would be the case when the Trust invests in rated securities.

Securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominately speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal, and are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.”

For purposes of determining compliance with the Trust’s Names Rule policy, the Trust may, to the extent permitted by its investment strategies, seek to obtain exposure to investments consistent with the investment focus that the Trust’s name suggests through a variety of investment vehicles, such as closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other mutual funds, where the identity of those underlying investments can be reasonably determined or where the investment has an 80% investment policy to invest in investments consistent with the investment focus that the Trust’s name suggests. In such cases, the Fund may look through to the underlying holdings of investment companies in which the Fund invests or may include the entire value of the Trust’s investment in other appropriate investment companies without looking through to the holdings of such investment companies.

For purposes of determining compliance with the Trust’s Names Rule policy, the Trust will value any derivatives instrument or physical short position using calculation required by the applicable 1940 Act regulation. Derivatives instruments used by the Trust will be counted toward the Trust’s 80% investment policy to the extent they provide investment exposure to investments included within that policy or to one or more of the market risk factors associated with investments included in that policy.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁴¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

The Trust’s investment policies, limitations and other guidelines typically apply at the time an investment is made. As a result, the Trust generally may continue to hold positions that met a particular investment policy or limitation at the time the investment was made but subsequently do not meet the investment policy or limitation unless required by applicable law or regulation. As a result, the Trust may in some instances be required to sell certain portfolio holdings at a time that is disadvantageous or otherwise not desired.

Unless the Trust is required by law or regulation to dispose of a security, in the event that an NRSRO downgrades its assessment of the credit characteristics of a particular issue, in determining whether to retain or sell such a security, the Adviser may consider such factors as the Adviser’s assessment of the credit quality of the issuer of such security, the price at which such security could be sold and the rating, if any, assigned to such security by other NRSROs.

These policies may be changed by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board of Trustees”). If the Trust’s Names Rule policy changes, the Trust will provide shareholders at least 60 days’ prior notice before implementation of the change. The Trust is subject to additional investment restrictions that may not be changed without the approval of shareholders, which are set forth under “Fundamental Investment Restrictions” further below.

USE OF LEVERAGE

The Trust may employ leverage through: (i) the issuance of senior securities representing indebtedness, including through borrowing from financial institutions or issuance of debt securities, including notes or commercial paper (collectively, “Indebtedness”), (ii) engaging in reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and economically similar transactions, (iii) investments in inverse floating rate securities, which have the economic effect of leverage, and (iv) the issuance of preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”) (collectively, “Financial Leverage”). The Trust has no present intention to issue Preferred Shares. The Trust may utilize leverage up to the limits imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).

Indebtedness. Under the 1940 Act, the Trust may not incur Indebtedness if, immediately after incurring such Indebtedness, the Trust would have asset coverage (as defined in the 1940 Act) of less than 300% (i.e., for every dollar of Indebtedness outstanding, the Trust is required to have at least three dollars of assets). Under the 1940 Act, the Trust may not issue Preferred Shares if, immediately after issuance, the Trust would have asset coverage (as defined in the 1940 Act) of less than 200% (i.e., for every dollar of Indebtedness plus Preferred Shares outstanding, the Trust is required to have at least two dollars of assets). In addition, the Trust generally is not permitted to declare any cash dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares unless, at the time of such declaration and after

¹⁴²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

deducting the amount of such dividend or other distribution, the Trust maintains asset coverage of 300%. However, the foregoing restriction does not apply with respect to certain types of Indebtedness, including a line of credit or other privately arranged borrowings from a financial institution. The Trust may also borrow in excess of such limit for temporary purposes such as the settlement of transactions. However, under current market conditions, the Trust currently expects to utilize Financial Leverage through Indebtedness and/or reverse repurchase agreements, such that the aggregate amount of Financial Leverage is not expected to exceed 33 1/3% of the Trust’s Managed Assets (including the proceeds of such Financial Leverage) (or 50% of net assets).

Committed Facility Agreement. The Trust has entered a committed credit facility through which Bank of America, N.A. allows the Trust to borrow up to $100 million initially (which amount of permissible borrowings under the may be increased or decreased from time to time). As of May 15, 2026, the amount of permissible borrowings was reduced to $65,000,000. Under the terms of the credit facility, the interest rate on the amount borrowed is based on the SOFR plus 85 basis points, and an unused commitment fee of 20 basis points is charged on the difference between the amount available to borrow under the credit agreement and the actual amount borrowed through May 10, 2027 (prior to May 15, 2026, the unused commitment fee was 20 basis points). Beginning on May 11, 2027, the unused commitment fee shall increase to 25 basis points. As of May 31, 2026, there was approximately $0 in borrowings outstanding under the committed facility agreement, representing approximately 0% of the Trust’s Managed Assets as of such date, and there was approximately $160,148,376 in reverse repurchase agreements outstanding, representing approximately 28.5% of the Trust’s Managed Assets as of such date.

The Trust’s borrowings under the committed facility provided to the Trust by Bank of America, N.A. are collateralized by portfolio assets, which are maintained by the Trust in a separate account with the Trust’s custodian for the benefit of the lender, which collateral exceeds the amount borrowed. In the event of a default by the Trust under its committed facility, the lender has the right to sell such collateral assets to satisfy the Trust’s obligation to the lender. The committed facility agreement includes usual and customary covenants. These covenants impose on the Trust asset coverage requirements, collateral requirements, investment strategy requirements, and certain financial obligations. These covenants place limits or restrictions on the Trust’s ability to (i) enter into additional indebtedness with a party other than Bank of America, N.A. (subject to customary exclusions), (ii) change its fundamental investment policy if such change could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of the counterparty, or (iii) pledge to any other party, other than to the counterparty, securities owned or held by the Trust over which the counterparty has a perfected first-priority interest. In addition,

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁴³


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

the Trust is required to deliver financial information to the counterparty within established deadlines, maintain an asset coverage ratio (as defined in Section 18(g) of the 1940 Act) greater than 275%, comply with the rules of the stock exchange on which its shares are listed, and maintain its classification as a “closed-end management investment company” as defined in the 1940 Act.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Dollar Roll Transactions. The Trust’s use of leverage through reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and economically similar transactions will be included when calculating the Trust’s Financial Leverage and therefore will be limited by the Trust’s maximum overall Financial Leverage levels approved by the Board of Trustees, if any, and may be further limited by the applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) discussed herein.

Inverse Floating Rate Securities. Under current market conditions, the Trust anticipates utilizing Financial Leverage through Indebtedness and/or engaging in reverse repurchase agreements. However, the Trust also may utilize Financial Leverage through investments in inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as “inverse floaters”).

Derivatives Transactions. In addition, the Trust may engage in certain derivatives transactions that have economic characteristics similar to leverage. Subject to Rule 18f-4, the Trust’s obligations under such transactions will not be considered indebtedness for purposes of the 1940 Act but the Trust’s use of such transactions may be limited by the applicable requirements of the SEC.

Risks. The Adviser anticipates that the use of Financial Leverage may result in higher total return to the Common Shareholders over time; however, there can be no assurance that the Adviser’s expectations will be realized or that a leveraging strategy will be successful in any particular time period. Use of Financial Leverage creates an opportunity for increased income and capital appreciation but, at the same time, creates heightened and special risks. To the extent the Trust increases its amount of Financial Leverage outstanding, it will be more exposed to these risks.

The costs associated with the issuance of Financial Leverage will be borne by Common Shareholders, which will result in a reduction of net asset value of the Common Shares. To the extent the Trust increases its amount of Financial Leverage outstanding, the Trust’s annual expenses as a percentage of net assets attributable to Common Shares will increase. The fee paid to the Adviser will be calculated on the basis of the Trust’s Managed Assets. Managed Assets means the total assets of the Trust, including assets attributable to the proceeds from financial leverage, including the issuance of senior securities represented by indebtedness (including through borrowing from financial institutions or issuance of debt securities, including notes or commercial paper), the issuance of preferred shares,

¹⁴⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

the effective leverage of certain portfolio transactions such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and inverse floating rate securities, or any other form of financial leverage, minus liabilities, other than liabilities related to any financial leverage. The fees paid to the Adviser will be higher when Financial Leverage is utilized.

Common Shareholders bear the portion of the investment advisory fee attributable to the assets purchased with the proceeds of Financial Leverage, which means that Common Shareholders effectively bear the entire advisory fee. If applicable, the maximum level of and types of Financial Leverage used by the Trust will be approved by the Board of Trustees. There can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be utilized or, if utilized, will be successful.

Investments in Investment Funds frequently expose the Trust to an additional layer of Financial Leverage, and thus, increase the Trust’s exposure to leverage risks. See “Additional Information Regarding the Trust—Principal Risks of the Trust— Financial Leverage and Leveraged Transactions Risk.”

TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS

At any time when a temporary posture is believed by GPIM to be warranted (a “temporary period”), the Trust may, without limitation, hold cash or invest its assets in money market instruments and repurchase agreements in respect of those instruments. The Trust may not achieve its investment objectives during a temporary period or be able to sustain its historical distribution levels.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE TRUST

Investment in the Trust involves special risk considerations, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Trust. The Trust’s principal risks are summarized below. The Trust is designed as a long-term investment and not as a trading vehicle. The Trust’s performance and the value of its investments will vary in response to changes in interest rates, inflation and other market and economic factors, among others. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Trust.

The fact that a particular risk is not indicated as a principal risk does not mean that the Trust is prohibited from investing its assets in securities or investments that give rise to that risk and because a risk is not specifically identified as being heightened under current conditions does not mean that the risk is not greater than under normal conditions.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁴⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

An investment in the Trust is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any governmental agency.

Not a Complete Investment Program

An investment in the Common Shares of the Trust should not be considered a complete investment program. The Trust is intended for long-term investors seeking current income and capital appreciation. An investment in the Trust is not meant to provide a vehicle for those who wish to play short-term swings in the market. Each Common Shareholder should take into account the Trust’s investment objectives as well as the Common Shareholder’s other investments when considering an investment in the Trust. Before making an investment decision, a prospective investor should consider (i) the suitability of an investment in the Trust with respect to his or her investment objectives and personal situation and (ii) other factors, such as his or her personal net worth, income and income needs, age, risk tolerance and liquidity needs.

Investment and Market Risk

An investment in the Common Shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. During periods of adverse economic, financial, market, geopolitical, labor and public health conditions, the risks associated with an investment in Common Shares may be heightened. Periods of market stress and volatility of financial markets, including potentially extreme stress and volatility caused by the events described below or similar circumstances, can expose the Trust to greater market risk than normal, possibly resulting in greatly reduced liquidity, longer than usual trade settlement periods, increased volatility and increased difficulty in valuing the Trust’s assets. Such developments may also impact the work forces and processes of the Trust’s service providers and heighten the risks to which they are subject. In addition to risks specifically related to a particular issuer, the Trust’s investments may also decline in value or otherwise be adversely affected due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer, such as real or perceived economic conditions, changes in interest or currency rates or changes in investor sentiment or market outlook generally.

An investment in the Common Shares represents an indirect investment in the securities and other assets owned by the Trust. The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Trust are subject to the possibility of frequent, significant, rapid and/or unpredictable fluctuation, and loss. The value of certain investments (e.g., those traded on exchanges) tends to fluctuate more dramatically over the shorter term than the value of other asset classes. These movements may result from factors affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, including real or perceived

¹⁴⁶^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

changes in prevailing interest rates, changes in inflation rates or expectations about inflation rates, adverse investor confidence or sentiment, general outlook for corporate earnings, changing economic, political (including geopolitical), social or financial market conditions, bank failures, the actual or threatened imposition of tariffs and trade disruptions, recession, changes in currency rates, increased instability or general uncertainty, environmental, natural or other disasters extreme weather, or geological events, governmental or quasi-governmental actions, cyber attacks, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), debt crises, terrorism, actual or threatened wars or other armed conflicts (such as the escalated conflict in the Middle East and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and Iran conflict and the risk of expansion or collateral economic and other effects) or ratings downgrades, technological developments (including those related to artificial intelligence) or failures (for example, widespread system outages or disruptions or faulty updates to software applications) and other similar types of events, each of which may be temporary or last for extended periods. For example, the risks of a borrower’s default or bankruptcy or non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments from senior floating rate interests held by the Trust are especially acute under these conditions. Furthermore, interest rates may change and bond yields may fall as a result of types of events, including responses by governmental entities to such events, which would magnify the Trust’s fixed-income instruments’ susceptibility to interest rate risk and diminish their yield and performance. Moreover, the Trust’s investments in ABS are subject to many of the same risks that are applicable to investments in securities generally, including interest rate risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk, below- investment grade securities risk, leverage risk, prepayment and extension risks and regulatory risk, which would be elevated under the foregoing circumstances.

Moreover, changing economic, political, social, geopolitical, technological, financial market or other conditions in one country or geographic region could adversely affect the value, yield and return of the investments held by the Trust in a different country or geographic region and economies, markets and issuers generally because of the increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. As a result, there is an increased risk that these and other events will disrupt economies and markets globally. For example, local or regional armed conflicts have led to significant sanctions by the United States, Europe and other countries against certain countries (as well as persons and companies connected with certain countries) and led to indirect adverse regional and global market, economic and other effects. It is difficult to accurately predict or foresee when events or conditions affecting the U.S. or global financial markets, economies, and issuers may occur, the effects of such events or conditions, potential escalations or expansions of these events, possible retaliations in response to sanctions or similar actions and the duration or ultimate impact of those events. There is an increased likelihood

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁴⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

that these types of events or conditions can, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, result in a variety of adverse developments and circumstances, such as reduced liquidity, supply chain disruptions and market volatility, as well as increased general uncertainty and broad ramifications for markets, economies, issuers, businesses in many sectors and societies globally. During a general downturn in the securities markets or economies, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously even if the performance of those asset classes is not otherwise historically correlated.

Administration changes, policy reform and/or changes in law or governmental regulations can result in expropriation or nationalization of the investments of a company in which the Trust invests. In addition, adverse changes in one sector or industry or with respect to a particular company could negatively impact companies in other sectors or industries or increase market volatility as a result of the interconnected nature of economies and markets and thus negatively affect the Trust’s performance, even if the Trust does not invest directly in issuers that participate in the sectors or industries experiencing such types of change. These types of adverse developments could result from under-regulated markets, novel and maturing markets (for example, the markets for artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies and digital or blockchain assets and technologies), systemic risk, natural market forces, bad actors or other scenarios and negatively affect the Trust’s performance or operations. For example, developments in the banking or financial services sectors (or one or more companies operating in these sectors) could adversely impact a wide range of companies and issuers.

Similarly, the increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence by issuers and market participants and investments in such technologies by issuers may significantly impact the economy, financial markets and issuers. In addition, the increased prevalence and acceptance of cryptocurrencies and digital assets throughout the economy and financial markets may also significantly impact the investments made by the Trust, even indirectly. For example, issuers that engage in artificial intelligence-related businesses (or whose business are impacted by actual or anticipated artificial intelligence developments) or simply increasingly use these technologies are particularly susceptible to the risks associated with artificial intelligence and its rapid and unpredictable evolution, including (but not limited to) market and business risks, technology and product risks, cybersecurity and data security risks, and intellectual property risks. Similarly, issuers that engage in cryptocurrency, digital assets-related businesses or blockchain technology or otherwise have exposure to cryptocurrencies or digital assets are particularly susceptible to the risks associated with cryptocurrencies or digital or blockchain assets and technologies, including (but not limited to) potential fraud and market manipulation, extreme market volatility, theft, losses related to cyberincidents, confidence in and development of these markets, or related errors. In addition,

¹⁴⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

the prices of securities issued by companies in these market and other segments are subject to increased volatility, changes in the regulatory environment and risks associated with changes in investor sentiment. As a result, the Trust may be adversely affected by developments impacting these issuers.

Different sectors, industries and security types may go through different cycles of under-performance and out-performance and therefore react differently to the types of adverse developments discussed above and, when the market performs well, there is no assurance that the Trust’s investments will increase in value along with the broader markets. The Trust’s investments may underperform general securities markets or other investments, particularly during such periods. The fewer the number of issuers in which the Trust invests and/or the greater the use of leverage, the greater the potential volatility in the Trust’s portfolio. GPIM potentially could be prevented from considering, managing and executing investment decisions at an advantageous time or price or at all as a result of any domestic or global market or other disruptions, particularly disruptions causing heightened market volatility and reduced market liquidity, which have also resulted in impediments to the normal functioning of workforces, including personnel and systems of the Trust’s service providers and market intermediaries.

The domestic political environment, as well as political and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad, such as the U.S. budget and deficit reduction plan, including related agency or departmental actions and uncertainty related to the debt ceiling, and foreign policy tensions with foreign nations, including embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other similar developments, have in the past resulted, and may in the future result, in developments that present additional risks to the Trust’s investments and operations. For example, U.S. federal government shutdowns, U.S. foreign policy, the actual or threatened imposition of tariffs, deficit levels and any reduction plans and other federal government initiatives, or U.S. economic policies and any related domestic and/ or geopolitical tensions may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. Market, economic and other disruptions could also prevent the Trust from executing its investment strategies and processes in a timely manner. Changes or disruptions in market conditions also may lead to increased regulation of the Trust and the instruments in which the Trust may invest, which may, in turn, affect the Trust’s ability to pursue its investment objectives and the Trust’s performance.

It may be difficult for the market to assess the immediate impact of an event on an issuer or security due to uncertainty that may surround such events; the impact of such an event on a security’s valuation may be delayed.

Many economies and markets may experience, and have experienced in recent periods, high inflation rates. In response to such inflation, and other economic

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁴⁹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

conditions, governmental and quasi-governmental authorities have implemented significant fiscal and monetary policies, such as changing interest rates and quantitative tightening (reduction of money available in the market), and could take these or other measures in the future. Such interventions (or their reversal) may not be effective and could lead to increased market volatility and adverse economic conditions, which could negatively impact the Trust’s performance.

At any point in time, your Common Shares may be worth less than your original investment, even after including the reinvestment of Trust dividends and distributions.

Management Risk

The Trust is subject to management risk because it is actively managed. GPIM will apply investment techniques and risk analysis in making investment decisions for the Trust, but there can be no guarantee that these will produce the desired results. The Trust’s allocation of its investments across various asset classes and sectors may vary significantly over time based on GPIM’s analysis and judgment. As a result, the particular risks most relevant to an investment in the Trust, as well as the overall risk profile of the Trust’s portfolio, may vary over time. The ability of the Trust to achieve its investment objectives depends, in part, on GPIM’s investment decisions and the ability of GPIM to allocate effectively the Trust’s assets among multiple investment strategies, Investment Funds and investments and asset classes. Although GPIM considers several factors when making investment decisions, GPIM may not evaluate every factor prior to investing in an issuer or security or disposing of an investment, and GPIM may determine that certain factors are more significant than others. There can be no assurance that the actual allocations will be effective in achieving the Trust’s investment objectives or that an investment strategy or Investment Fund or investment will achieve its particular investment objectives.

Distribution Risk

The Trust intends to declare and pay monthly distributions to common shareholders. The Trust expects that distributions will generally consist of (i) investment company taxable income expected to be taxed as ordinary income, which includes, among other things, investment income, short-term capital gains and income from certain hedging and interest rate transactions, (ii) long-term capital gains and (iii) return of capital. Any net realized long-term capital gains are distributed annually to Common Shareholders. To the extent distributions exceed the amount of the Trust’s earnings and profit available for distribution, the excess will be deemed a return of capital. Distributions may be paid by the Trust from any permitted source and, from time to time, all or a portion of a distribution may be a return of capital, which is in effect a partial return of the amount a shareholder invested in the Trust. A return of capital is generally not taxable and would reduce the shareholder’s tax basis

¹⁵⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

in its shares, which would reduce the loss (or increase the gain) on a subsequent taxable disposition by such shareholder of the shares, until such shareholder’s basis reaches zero at which point subsequent return of capital distributions would constitute taxable capital gain to such shareholder. This may cause the shareholder to pay taxes even if such shareholder sells shares for less than the original price. The Trust’s distribution policy, rate of distributions on the Common Shares and the portion of distributions composed of net investment income, realized capital gain and return of capital may vary over time. Shareholders receiving a return of capital may be under the impression that they are receiving net investment income or profit when they are not. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a return of capital distribution from the Trust is net income or profit. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax law and regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

The Trust’s at-the-market offering supports the Trust’s asset level and if the Trust does not conduct such offering, it may not be able to maintain historical distribution levels for extended periods of time.

Municipal Securities Risk

Municipal securities are subject to a variety of risks generally associated with investments in debt instruments, including credit, interest rate, prepayment, liquidity, and valuation risks as well as risks specific to municipal securities, and can be more volatile than other investments. Taxable municipal securities are subject to similar risks as tax-exempt municipal securities. The ability of issuers of municipal securities to pay their obligations can be adversely affected by, among other developments or events, (i) unfavorable legislative, tax, political or other developments or events, including extreme weather conditions, natural or man- made disasters and public health conditions, (ii) changes in the economic and fiscal conditions of issuers of municipal securities or the federal government (in cases where it provides financial support to such issuers), and (iii) litigations involving such issuers. In addition, the values of, and income generated by, municipal securities may fully or partially depend on a specific revenue or tax source, such as the taxing authority or revenue of a local government (which may be limited by provisions of state constitutions or laws), the credit of a private issuer or other issuer of municipal securities (which will depend on many factors, including the entity’s tax base and revenue sources, the extent to which the entity relies on federal or state aid and other factors which are beyond the entity’s control), or the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project. Developments adversely affecting such sources, such as economic, social or public health conditions, would negatively impact the cash flows of such sources and, in turn, municipal securities fully or partially backed by such sources. Moreover, the income, value and/or risk of municipal securities is often correlated to specific project or other revenue sources (such as taxes), which

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁵¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

can be negatively affected by, among other things, demographic trends, such as population shifts or changing tastes and values, or increasing vacancies or declining rents or property values resulting from legal, cultural, technological, global or local economic developments, as well as reduced demand for properties, revenues or goods or services. Tax laws contain numerous and complex requirements that must be satisfied on a continuing basis in order for bonds to be and remain tax-exempt. If the issuer of a bond or a user of a bond-financed facility fails to comply with such requirements at any time (including as a result of a deemed reissuance), interest on the bond could become taxable, possibly with retroactive effect to the date the obligation was issued.

To the extent the Trust invests a substantial portion of its assets in municipal securities issued by issuers in a particular state or municipality or in municipal instruments that finance similar projects (or are backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific or similar project or assets), the Trust will be particularly sensitive to developments and events adversely affecting such state or municipality or with respect to a particular project or similar projects, such as economic, political and business conditions. Certain sectors of the municipal bond market have special risks that can affect them more significantly than the market as a whole. Because many municipal instruments are issued to finance similar projects (such as education, health care, transportation, housing and utilities), conditions in these industries can significantly affect the overall municipal market, including proposed federal, state or local legislation involving the financing of, or declining markets or needs for, such projects. The risk of loss to the Trust would be heightened to the extent that the Trust invests a substantial portion of its portfolio in municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific or similar project or assets, which can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of taxation or reduction of revenue supporting the project or assets.

Municipal securities that are insured may be adversely affected by developments relevant to that particular insurer, or more general developments relevant to the market as a whole, including proposed federal, state or local legislation involving the financing of, or declining markets or needs for, such projects.

The Trust’s vulnerability to potential losses associated with such developments may be reduced through investment in municipal securities that feature credit enhancements (such as bond insurance). However, municipal securities that are insured may be adversely affected by developments relevant to that particular insurer, or more general developments relevant to the market as a whole. Although insurance may reduce the credit risk of a municipal security, it does not protect against fluctuations in the value of the Trust’s shares caused by market changes. It is important to note that, although insurance may increase the credit safety of investments held by the Trust, it decreases the Trust’s yield as the Trust may pay

¹⁵²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

for the insurance directly or indirectly. In addition, while the obligation of a municipal bond insurance company to pay a claim extends over the life of an insured bond, there is no assurance that insurers will meet their claims. A higher-than-anticipated default rate on municipal bonds (or other insurance the insurer provides) could strain the insurer’s loss reserves and adversely affect its ability to pay claims to bondholders.

Municipal securities can be difficult to value and be less liquid than other investments, which may affect performance. Additionally, the amount of publicly available information about certain municipal securities and their risks is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds, and the investment performance of the Trust’s municipal securities investments, and their risks, may therefore be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the Adviser than its investment in certain other securities. Information related to municipal securities and their risks may be provided by the municipality itself, which may be limited or inaccurate. The secondary market for municipal securities, particularly below-investment grade municipal securities, also tends to be less well-developed or liquid than many other securities markets, which may adversely affect the Trust’s ability to sell such securities at prices approximating those at which the Trust may currently value them.

Investments in municipal securities are subject to risks associated with the financial health of the issuers of such securities or the revenue associated with underlying projects or other sources. For example, social, political, economic, market or public health conditions can, and have at times, significantly stressed the financial resources of many municipalities and other issuers of municipal securities, which may adversely affect their ability to meet their financial obligations and the value or liquidity of the Trust’s investments in municipal securities. The value of municipal securities and financial condition of issuers of municipal securities may also be adversely affected by rising health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities, and by the phasing out or reduction of federal programs providing financial support. A number of municipal issuers, in the past, have defaulted on obligations, been downgraded or commenced insolvency proceedings. Financial difficulties of issuers of municipal securities may occur in the future and the financial condition of such issuers may decline quickly. The ability of municipal issuers to make timely payments of interest and principal may be diminished during general economic downturns and as governmental cost burdens are reallocated among federal, state and local governments. The taxing power of any governmental entity may be limited by provisions of state constitutions or laws and an entity’s credit will depend on many factors, including the entity’s tax base, the extent to which the entity relies on federal or state aid and other factors which are beyond the entity’s control. In addition, laws enacted or that may be enacted in the future by governmental authorities could extend the time for payment of principal and/or interest, or

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁵³


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

impose other constraints on enforcement of such obligations or on the ability of municipalities to levy taxes.

Moreover, as a result of economic, market and other factors, there could be reduced tax or other revenue available to issuers of municipal securities and, in turn, increased budgetary and financial pressure on the municipality and other issuers of municipal securities, which could increase the risks associated with municipal securities of such issuer. As a result, the Trust’s investments in municipal obligations or other securities may be subject to heightened risks relating to the occurrence of such developments. Issuers of municipal securities might seek protection under bankruptcy laws. In the event of bankruptcy of such an issuer, holders of municipal securities could experience delays in collecting principal and interest and such holders may not be able to collect all principal and interest to which they are entitled.

Legislative or regulatory developments may result in changes to the laws relating to municipal bankruptcies and the taxation of tax-exempt municipal securities, which may adversely affect the Trust’s investments in municipal securities and tax-exempt municipal securities, respectively.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions Risk

Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may expose the Trust to counterparty risk of default as well as the risk that securities may experience fluctuations in value prior to their actual delivery. The Trust generally will not accrue income with respect to a when-issued or delayed delivery security prior to its stated delivery date. Purchasing securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis can involve the additional risk that the price or yield available in the market when the delivery takes place may not be as favorable as that obtained in the transaction itself.

Debt Instruments Risk

The value of the Trust’s investments in debt instruments (including bonds issued by non-profit entities, municipal conduits and project finance corporations) depends on the continuing ability of the debt issuers to meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The ability of debt issuers to make timely payments of interest and principal can be affected by a variety of developments and changes in legal, political, economic and other conditions. For example, litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of an issuer could have a significant effect on the ability of the issuer to make timely payments of principal and/or interest.

Investments in debt instruments present certain risks, including credit, interest rate, liquidity and prepayment risks. Issuers that rely directly or indirectly on government funding mechanisms or non-profit statutes, may be negatively affected by actions

¹⁵⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

of the government, including reductions in government spending, increases in tax rates, and changes in fiscal policy.

The value of a debt instrument may decline for many reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as a change in the demand for the issuer’s goods or services, or a decline in the issuer’s performance, earnings or assets. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual issuer can affect the overall market for such instruments. The risk of the occurrence of these types of events is heightened in market environments where interest rates are changing, notably when rates are rising. The income generated by debt instruments can also be adversely affected as a result of the occurrence of these types of events or conditions.

Municipal Conduit Bond Risk

Municipal conduit bonds, also referred to as private activity bonds or industrial revenue bonds, are bonds issued by state and local governments or other entities for the purpose of financing the projects of certain private enterprises. Unlike some municipal bonds, municipal conduit bonds are not backed by the full faith, credit or general taxing power of the issuing governmental entity. Rather, issuances of municipal conduit bonds are backed solely by revenues of the private enterprise involved. Therefore, in addition to being subject to the general risks associated with municipal securities, municipal conduit bonds are subject to heightened credit risk, as the private enterprise involved can have a different credit profile than the issuing governmental entity. Municipal conduit bonds may be negatively impacted by conditions affecting either the general credit of the private enterprise or the project itself. Factors such as competitive pricing, construction delays, or lack of demand for the project could cause project revenues to fall short of projections, and defaults could occur. Municipal conduit bonds tend to have longer terms and thus are more susceptible to interest rate risk.

Corporate Bond Risk

Corporate bonds are debt obligations issued by corporations and other business entities. Corporate bonds may be either secured or unsecured. Corporate bonds contain elements of both interest-rate risk and credit risk and are subject to the risks associated with Income Securities, among other risks.

The market value of a corporate bond generally is expected to rise and fall inversely with interest rates and be affected by the credit rating of the corporation, the corporation’s performance and perceptions of the corporation in the marketplace. Depending on the nature of the seniority provisions, a senior corporate bond may be junior to other credit securities of the issuer, which increases risks associated with the bond. The market value of a corporate bond may be affected by factors directly related to the issuer, such as investors’ perceptions of the creditworthiness of the issuer, the issuer’s financial performance, perceptions of the issuer in the

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁵⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

market place, performance of management of the issuer, the issuer’s capital structure and use of financial leverage and demand for the issuer’s goods and services. There is a risk that the issuers of corporate bonds may not be able to meet their obligations on interest or principal payments at the time called for by an instrument or at all. Corporate bonds of below-investment grade quality are often high risk and have speculative characteristics and may be particularly susceptible to adverse issuer-specific developments and other developments.

Project Finance Risk

Project finance is a type of financing commonly used for infrastructure, industry, and public service projects. In a project finance arrangement, the cash flow generated by the project is used to repay lenders while the project’s assets, rights and interest are held as secondary collateral. In addition to the general risks associated with municipal securities, investors involved in project finance face heightened technology risk, operational risk, and market risk because the cash flow generated by the project, rather than the revenues of the company behind the project, will repay investors. In addition, because of the project-specific nature of such arrangements, the Trust face the risk of loss of investment if the company behind the project determines not to complete it.

Risks of Investing in Debt Issued by Non-Profit Institutions

Investing in debt issued by non-profit institutions, including foundations, museums, cultural institutions, colleges, universities, hospitals and healthcare systems, involves different risks than investing in municipal bonds. Many non-profit entities are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and risk losing their tax-exempt status if they do not comply with the requirements of that section. There is a risk that Congress or the IRS could pass new laws or regulations changing the requirements for tax-exempt status, which could result in a non-profit institution losing such status. Additionally, non-profit institutions that receive federal and state appropriations face the risk of a decrease in or loss of such appropriations and such decreases or losses may result from efforts by the federal government to reduce the national budget deficit or by other federal government fiscal policy changes.

Hospitals and healthcare systems are highly regulated at the federal and state levels and face burdensome state licensing requirements. There is a risk that a state could refuse to renew a hospital’s license or that the passage of new laws or regulations, especially changes to Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement, could inhibit a hospital from growing its revenues. Hospitals and healthcare systems also face risks related to increased competition from other health care providers; increased costs of inpatient and outpatient care; and increased pressures from managed care organizations, insurers, and patients to cut the costs of medical care; and public health emergencies.

There is a risk that non-profit institutions relying on philanthropy and donations to maintain their operations will receive less funding during economic downturns or other periods of adverse market, economic or political conditions.

Taxable Municipal Securities Risk

Taxable municipal securities are subject to the general risks associated with municipal securities. While interest earned on municipal securities is generally not subject to federal tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal securities is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to state and/or local income tax. Additionally, litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on the ability of an issuer of municipal securities to make payments of principal and/or interest. Political changes and uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders can significantly affect municipal securities. Because many securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can adversely affect the overall municipal market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer can adversely affect the overall municipal market.

Build America Bonds Risk

BABs were an alternative form of financing to state and local governments whose primary means for accessing the capital markets had been through issuance of tax-free municipal bonds. The BABs market is smaller and less diverse than the broader municipal securities market. In addition, because the relevant provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 were not extended, bonds issued after December 31, 2010 cannot qualify as BABs. It is uncertain whether Congress will renew the program to permit issuance of new BABs. As a result, the number of available BABs is limited, which may negatively affect the value of the BABs. In addition, there can be no assurance that BABs will be actively traded. It is difficult to predict the extent to which a market for such bonds will continue, meaning that BABs may experience greater illiquidity than other municipal obligations.

Because issuers of direct payment BABs held in the Trust’s portfolio receive reimbursement from the U.S. Treasury with respect to interest payments on the bonds, there is a risk that those municipal issuers will not receive timely payment from the U.S. Treasury and may be unable to make the required interest payments on the BABs.

Under the sequestration process under the Budget Control Act of 2011, automatic spending cuts that became effective on March 1, 2013 reduced the federal subsidy for BABs and other subsidized taxable municipal bonds. In addition, pursuant to the requirements of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁵⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

1985, as amended, refund payments issued to and refund offset transactions for BABS are subject to sequestration. The subsidy payments have been reduced from time to time. There is a possibility that these federal subsidies could be further reduced or eliminated in the future. To the extent the federal subsidies are reduced or eliminated, there is a risk that issuers of BABs could redeem bonds prior to their stated maturities, including after any reduction in the subsidy has ended. The Trust cannot predict future reductions in the federal subsidy for BABs.

Furthermore, it is possible that a municipal issuer may fail to comply with the requirements to receive the direct pay subsidy. In addition, the Code contains a general offset rule (the “IRS Offset Rule”) which allows for the possibility that subsidy payments to be received by issuers of BABs may be subject to offset against amounts owed by them to the federal government. Moreover, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may audit the issuers of BABs and such audits may, among other things, examine the price at which BABs were initially sold to investors. If the IRS concludes that a BAB was mispriced based on its audit, it could disallow all or a portion of the interest subsidy received by the issuer of the BAB. The IRS Offset Rule and the disallowance of any interest subsidy as a result of an IRS audit could potentially adversely affect a BABs issuer’s credit rating and adversely affect the issuer’s ability to repay or refinance BABs. This, in turn, could adversely affect the ratings and value of the BABs held by the Trust and the Trust’s net asset value. The IRS has withheld subsidies from several states and municipalities and may do so in the future.

BABs involve similar risks as traditional municipal bonds, including credit, interest rate and market risk. Because certain states were heavy issuers of BABs, the Trust may have a greater exposure to the economic or other factors affecting such states than a more diversified national municipal bond fund. BABs may be subject to greater reinvestment risk, as BABs with attractive above-market purchase yields mature or are called.

Income and Distribution Rate Risk

The Trust’s distribution rates may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, Trust performance and other factors. The income investors receive from the Trust is based primarily or in part on the interest or income it earns from its investments in Income Securities, which can vary widely over the short- and long- term. If prevailing market interest rates drop, investors’ income from the Trust could drop as well. The Trust’s income could also be affected adversely when prevailing short-term interest rates increase and the Trust is utilizing leverage, although this risk may be mitigated to the extent the Trust invests in floating-rate obligations, or when an issuer defaults, among other adverse developments.

¹⁵⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in the Trust’s distribution rate or that any such rate will be sustainable in the future. For instance, during periods of low or declining interest rates, the Trust’s distributable income and dividend levels, sourced in part from its investments in Income Securities, may decline for many reasons. The Trust may have to deploy uninvested assets in new, lower-yielding instruments, which could impact its distribution rate. Additionally, payments from certain instruments that may be held by the Trust (such as variable and floating rate securities) may be negatively impacted by declining interest rates, which may also lead to a decline in the Trust’s distributable income and dividend levels.

Income Securities Risk

In addition to the risks discussed above, Income Securities (notably the value and income of such investments), including high-yield bonds, are subject to certain risks, including:

Issuer Risk. The value of Income Securities may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, the issuer’s overall level of debt, reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services, historical and projected earnings, and the value of its assets.

Spread Risk. Spread risk is the risk that the market price can change due to the difference (or “spread”) between the yield of a security and the yield of a benchmark increasing, which causes the value of the security to fall. Spread widening may occur, among other reasons, as a result of market concerns over the stability of the market, excess supply, general credit concerns in other markets, security or other market-specific credit concerns, or general reductions in risk tolerance.

Credit Risk. The Trust could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument, a counterparty to a derivatives transaction or other transaction (such as a repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities or other instruments) or other obligor to the Trust is unable or unwilling, or perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) to be unable or unwilling, to pay interest or repay principal on time or defaults or otherwise fails to meet its obligations. This risk is heightened during adverse economic conditions and in market environments where interest rates are changing, notably when rates are rising or when refinancing obligations becomes more challenging. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Trust’s income would likely be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the instrument and income generated by the instrument likely would fall and the Trust could lose money, including potentially the entire value of the investment. Credit risk is increased when a portfolio security is downgraded or the perceived creditworthiness of the issuer or guarantor deteriorates. This risk is especially acute with respect to below-investment grade debt instruments

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁵⁹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

(commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds) and unrated high risk debt instruments, whose issuers are particularly susceptible to fail to meet principal or interest obligations. Issuers of unrated securities, municipal issuers with significant debt services requirements in the near- to mid-term and issuers with less capital and liquidity to absorb additional expenses may have greater credit risk.

Also, the issuer, guarantor or counterparty may suffer adverse changes in its financial condition, the value of its assets, prospective earnings, demands for its goods and services or be adversely affected by economic, political or social conditions that could lower the credit quality (or the market’s perception of the credit quality) of the issuer or instrument, guarantor or counterparty, leading to greater volatility in the price of the instrument and in shares of the Trust. Although credit quality rating may not accurately reflect the true credit risk or liquidity risk of an instrument(e.g., an issuer with a high credit rating may in fact be exposed to heightened levels of credit or liquidity risk), credit quality (and credit risks) may change over time and a change in the credit quality rating of an instrument, or an issuer can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value, price volatility and liquidity and make it more difficult for the Trust to sell at an advantageous price or time. The risk of the occurrence of these types of events is heightened in market environments where interest rates are changing, notably when rates are rising. In addition, under adverse market or economic conditions, an increasing number of issuers may be unprofitable, have little cash on hand and/ or unable to pay the interest owed on their debt obligations and the number of such issuers may increase if demand for their goods and services falls, borrowing costs rise due to governmental action or inaction or other reasons.

The degree of credit risk depends on the particular instrument, the adequacy or lack of collateral or credit enhancements and the financial condition of the issuer, guarantor (including the guarantor of the collateral or credit enhancements, if any) or counterparty and terms of the obligation, which are often reflected in its credit quality, and may change over time. A credit quality rating is a measure of the issuer’s expected ability to make all required interest and principal payments in a timely manner. An issuer with the highest credit rating is considered to have a very strong capacity with respect to making all payments. An issuer with the second- highest credit rating is considered to have a strong capacity to make all payments, but the degree of safety is somewhat less. An issuer with the lowest credit quality rating may be in default or have extremely poor prospects of making timely payment of interest and principal. Credit ratings assigned by rating agencies are based on a number of factors and subjective judgments and therefore do not necessarily represent an issuer’s actual financial condition or the volatility and liquidity of the security and do not reflect market risk. Credit ratings are subject to change. The downgrade of the credit rating of a security or of the issuer of a security held by the Trust may decrease its value and liquidity, potentially suddenly and significantly.

¹⁶⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Measures such as “average credit quality” may not accurately reflect the credit risk of the Trust.

If an issuer, guarantor or counterparty declares bankruptcy or is declared bankrupt, the Trust would be adversely affected in its ability to receive principal or interest owed or otherwise to enforce the financial obligations of the other party. The Trust may be subject to increased costs associated with the bankruptcy process and experience losses as a result of the deterioration of the financial condition of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty. The risks to the Trust related to such bankruptcies are elevated during periods of adverse markets, economic and similar developments.

Interest Rate Risk. Fixed-income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes), including changes in reference rates used in fixed-income and other debt instruments (such as Term SOFR), and other factors may adversely affect the Trust’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments or increase risks associated with such investments, such as credit or default risks. In addition, changes in interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, can have unpredictable effects on markets and can adversely affect the Trust’s yield, income and performance. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of fixed- income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed-income and other debt instruments rise. Changes in interest rates may also adversely affect the yield generated by certain Income Securities or result in the issuance of lower yielding Income Securities, which may adversely affect the Trust’s performance and distributions. Such changes can be sudden and difficult to forecast. Short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or in the same direction.

The impact of interest rate changes on a fixed-income or other debt instrument depends on several factors, notably the instrument’s duration. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates that incorporates a security’s yield, coupon, final maturity and call features, among other characteristics. The value of a debt instrument with a longer duration will generally be more sensitive to interest rate changes than a similar instrument with a shorter duration. Similarly, the longer the average duration (whether positive or negative) of these instruments held by the Trust or to which the Trust is exposed (i.e., the longer the average portfolio duration of the Trust), the more the Trust’s NAV will likely fluctuate in response to interest rate changes. For example, the NAV per share of a bond fund with an average duration of eight years would be expected to fall approximately 8% if interest rates rose by one percentage point.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁶¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

However, measures such as duration may not accurately reflect the true interest rate sensitivity of instruments held by the Trust and, in turn, the Trust’s susceptibility to changes in interest rates. Certain fixed-income and debt instruments are subject to the risk that the issuer may exercise its right to redeem (or call) the instrument earlier than anticipated. Although an issuer may call or a borrower may prepay an instrument for a variety of reasons, if an issuer does so during a time of declining interest rates, the Trust might have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment offering a lower yield or other less favorable features, and therefore might not benefit from any increase in value as a result of declining interest rates. Interest only or principal only securities and inverse floaters are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, which may impact the income generated by the security, its value and other features of the security. During periods of rising interest rates, issuers may pay principal later or more slowly than expected, which may reduce the value of the Trust’s investment in such securities and prevent the Trust from receiving higher interest rates on proceeds reinvested in other instruments.

Instruments with variable or floating interest rates generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much or as fast as interest rates in general. Conversely, in a decreasing interest rate environment, these instruments will generally not increase in value and the Trust’s investment in instruments with floating interest rates may prevent the Trust from taking full advantage of decreasing interest rates in a timely manner. In addition, the income received from such instruments will likely be adversely affected by a decrease in interest rates.

Adjustable rate securities also react to interest rate changes in a similar manner as fixed-rate securities but generally to a lesser degree depending on the characteristics of the security, in particular its reset terms (i.e., the index chosen, frequency of reset and reset caps or floors). During periods of rising interest rates, because changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, the value of such securities may decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. These securities also may be subject to limits on the maximum increase in interest rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. These securities may not be subject to limits on downward adjustments of interest rates.

During periods of rising interest rates, issuers of debt instruments or ABS may pay principal later or more slowly than expected, which may reduce the value of the Trust’s investment in such securities and may prevent the Trust from receiving higher interest rates on proceeds reinvested in other instruments. During periods of falling interest rates, issuers of debt securities or ABS may pay off debts more

¹⁶²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

quickly or earlier than expected, which could cause the Trust to be unable to recoup the full amount of its initial investment and/or cause the Trust to reinvest proceeds or matured, traded or called securities in lower-yielding securities, thereby reducing the Trust’s yield or otherwise adversely impacting the Trust.

Certain debt instruments, such as instruments with a negative duration or inverse instruments, are also subject to interest rate risk, although such instruments generally react differently to changes in interest rates than instruments with positive durations. The Trust’s investments in these instruments also may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. For example, the values of instruments with negative durations, such as inverse floaters, generally decrease if interest rates decline. Certain fixed-income and debt instruments, including inverse floaters, interest only securities and principal only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which may affect the income flows these securities generate as well as their values.

A wide variety of factors can cause values, interest rates or yields of fixed-income and other debt instruments to decline, including but not limited to central bank monetary policies, changing inflation or real growth rates, general economic conditions, increasing bond issuances or reduced market demand for low yielding investments. It is difficult to predict how long, and whether, the Federal Reserve’s current stance on interest rates will persist and the impact these actions will have on the economy and the Trust’s investments and the markets where they trade. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases or decreases in interest rates. Such actions may have unforeseen consequences and materially affect economic and market conditions, the Trust’s investments and the Trust’s performance. The Federal Reserve’s (and other central banks’) monetary policy is subject to change at any time and potentially frequently based on a variety of market and economic conditions.

The Trust’s use of leverage will tend to increase the Trust’s interest rate risk. The Trust may utilize certain strategies, including taking positions in futures or interest rate swaps, for the purpose of seeking to reduce the interest rate sensitivity of credit securities held by the Trust or any leverage being employed by the Trust and seeking to decrease the Trust’s exposure to interest rate risk. The Trust is not required to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk and may choose not to do so. In addition, there is no assurance that any attempts by the Trust to seek to reduce interest rate risk will be successful or that any hedges that the Trust may establish will perfectly correlate with movements in interest rates.

Current Fixed-Income and Debt Market Conditions

Fixed-income and debt market conditions are highly unpredictable, and some parts of the market are subject to dislocations. In response to market and

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁶³


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

economic conditions, such as the inflation rates in recent periods, governmental authorities have implemented significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including changing interest rates and implementation of quantitative tightening or easing. These and other fiscal and monetary policy actions present heightened risks, particularly to fixed-income and debt instruments, and such risks could be even further heightened if these actions are ineffective in achieving their desired outcomes or are quickly reversed. It is difficult to accurately predict changes in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies and the effect of any such changes or policies. Certain economic conditions and market environments will expose fixed-income and debt instruments to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity, which can impact the Trust’s investments and may negatively impact the Trust’s characteristics, which in turn would impact performance. To the extent the Trust invests in derivatives tied to fixed-income or related markets, the Trust can be more substantially exposed to these risks than if it did not invest in such derivatives. The liquidity levels of the Trust’s portfolio may also be affected and the Trust could be required to sell holdings at disadvantageous times or prices.

Reinvestment Risk

Reinvestment risk is the risk that income from the Trust’s portfolio will decline if the Trust invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called Income Securities at interest rates that are below the Trust portfolio’s current earnings rate. A decline in income could affect the Common Shares’ market price or the overall return of the Trust. These or similar conditions may also occur in the future.

Extension Risk

Certain debt instruments, including MBS and ABS, are subject to the risk that payments on principal may occur at a slower rate or later than expected. In this event, the expected maturity could lengthen as short or intermediate-term instruments become longer-term instruments, which would make the investment more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The likelihood that payments on principal will occur at a slower rate or later than expected is heightened in market environments where interest rates are higher or rising. In addition, the Trust’s investment may sharply decrease in value and the Trust’s income from the investment may quickly decline. These types of instruments are particularly subject to extension risk, and may offer less potential for gains, during periods of rising interest rates. In addition, the Trust may be delayed in its ability to reinvest income or proceeds from these instruments in potentially higher yielding investments, which would adversely affect the Trust to the extent its investments are in lower interest rate debt instruments. Thus, changes in interest rates may cause volatility in the value of and income received from these types of debt instruments.

¹⁶⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Prepayment Risk

Certain debt instruments, including loans, mortgage- and other ABS and variable or floating rate investments, are subject to the risk that payments on principal may occur more quickly or earlier than expected (or an investment is converted or redeemed prior to maturity). These types of instruments are particularly subject to prepayment risk, and offer less potential for gains, during periods of declining interest rates. For example, an issuer may exercise its right to redeem outstanding debt securities prior to their maturity (known as a “call”) or otherwise pay principal earlier than expected for a number of reasons (e.g., declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the issuer’s credit quality). If an issuer calls or “prepays” a security in which the Trust has invested, the Trust may not recoup the full amount of its initial investment and may be required to reinvest in generally lower-yielding securities, securities with greater credit risks or securities with other, less favorable features or terms than the security in which the Trust initially invested, thus potentially reducing the Trust’s yield. Income Securities frequently have call features that allow the issuer to repurchase the security prior to its stated maturity. Loans and mortgage- and other ABS are particularly subject to prepayment risk, and offer less potential for gains, during periods of declining interest rates (or narrower spreads) as issuers of higher interest rate debt instruments pay off debts earlier than expected. In addition, the Trust may lose any premiums paid to acquire the investment. Other factors, such as excess cash flows, may also contribute to prepayment risk. Thus, changes in interest rates may cause volatility in the value of and income received from these types of debt instruments. Prepayments could also result in tax liability in certain instances.

Variable or floating rate investments may be less vulnerable to prepayment risk. Most floating rate loans and fixed-income securities allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Accordingly, the potential for the value of a floating rate loan or security to increase in response to interest rate declines is limited. Corporate loans or fixed-income securities purchased to replace a prepaid corporate loan or security may have lower yields than the yield on the prepaid corporate loan or security.

Valuation of Certain Income Securities Risk

GPIM may use the fair value method to value investments if market quotations for them are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, or if events occurring after the close of a securities market and before the Trust values its assets would materially affect the Trust’s NAV. The Trust may also hold securities and other assets that are fair valued when a significant event is deemed to have occurred after the time of a market quotation, including for securities and assets traded on foreign markets and securities and assets for which market quotations are provided by independent third party pricing services as of a time that is prior to the time

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁶⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

when the Trust determines its NAV. Because the secondary markets for certain investments may be limited, they may be particularly difficult to value. Where market quotations are not readily available, valuation may require more research than for more liquid investments. In addition, elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation in such cases than for investments with a more active secondary market because there is less reliable objective data available. A security that is fair valued may be valued at a price higher or lower than the value determined by other funds using their own fair valuation procedures. Prices obtained by the Trust upon the sale of such securities may not equal the value at which the Trust carried the investment on its books, which would adversely affect the NAV of the Trust.

Duration Management Risk

The Trust’s managers expect to employ investment and trading strategies to seek to maintain the leverage-adjusted duration of the Trust’s portfolio at generally less than 15 years. Such strategies include, among others, security selection and the use of financial products. Financial products may include US treasury swaps, total return swaps and futures contracts, among others. The Trust seeks to invest in instruments that provide the Trust with protection against interest rate volatility while providing income to the Trust. Duration is a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates, expressed in years. Duration is a weighted average of the times that interest payments and the final return of principal are received. The weights are the amounts of the payments discounted by the yield to maturity of the bond.

Financial Leverage and Leveraged Transactions Risks

Although the use of Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions by the Trust may create an opportunity for increased after-tax total return for the Common Shares, it also results in additional risks and can magnify the effect of any losses. If the income and gains earned on securities purchased with Financial Leverage and leveraged transaction proceeds are greater than the cost of Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions, the Trust’s return will be greater than if Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions had not been used. Conversely, if the income or gains from the securities purchased with such proceeds does not cover the cost of Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions, the return to the Trust will be less than if Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions had not been used. There can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be implemented or that it will be implemented or that it will be successful during any period during which it is employed.

Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions involve risks and special considerations for shareholders, including the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV and market price of, and dividends on, the Common Shares than a comparable portfolio without leverage; the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings

¹⁶⁶^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

and short-term debt or in the dividend rates on any preferred shares (if any) that the Trust must pay will reduce the return to the Common Shareholders; and the effect of Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions in a declining market, which is likely to cause a greater decline in the NAV of the Common Shares than if the Trust were not leveraged, which may result in a greater decline in the market price of the Common Shares.

Because the fees received by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser are based on the Managed Assets of the Trust (including the proceeds of any Financial Leverage), the Adviser and Sub-Adviser has a financial incentive for the Trust to utilize Financial Leverage, which may create a conflict of interest between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser on the one hand and the Common Shareholders on the other. Common Shareholders bear a portion of the investment advisory fee attributable to the assets purchased with the proceeds of Financial Leverage, which means that Common Shareholders effectively bear the entire advisory fee.

It is also possible that the Trust will be required to sell assets, possibly at a loss, in order to redeem or meet payment obligations on any leverage. Such a sale would reduce the Trust’s net asset value and also make it difficult for the net asset value to recover. The Trust in its best judgment nevertheless may determine to continue to use Financial Leverage if it expects that the benefits to the Trust’s shareholders of maintaining the leveraged position will outweigh the current reduced return.

Indebtedness may subject the Trust to covenants in credit agreements relating to asset coverage and portfolio composition requirements. Indebtedness by the Trust also may subject the Trust to certain restrictions on investments imposed by guidelines of one or more rating agencies, which may issue ratings for such indebtedness. Such guidelines may impose asset coverage or portfolio composition requirements that are more stringent than those imposed by the 1940 Act. It is not anticipated that these covenants or guidelines will impede the Adviser or GPIM from managing the Trust’s portfolio in accordance with the Trust’s investment objectives and policies.

The Trust may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with the same parties with whom it may enter into repurchase agreements (as described below). Under a reverse repurchase agreement, the Trust would sell securities or other assets and agree to repurchase them at a particular price at a future date. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risks that the interest income earned on the investment of the proceeds will be less than the interest expense and Trust expenses associated with the repurchase agreement, that the market value of the securities or other assets sold by the Trust may decline below the price at which the Trust is obligated to repurchase such securities and that the securities may not be returned to the Trust. There is no assurance that reverse repurchase agreements can be successfully employed. In connection with reverse repurchase agreements, the

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁶⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Trust will also be subject to counterparty risk with respect to the purchaser of the securities. In the event of the insolvency of the counterparty to a reverse repurchase agreement, recovery of the securities or other assets sold by the Trust may be delayed. The counterparty’s insolvency may result in a loss equal to the amount by which the value of the securities or other assets sold by the Trust exceeds the repurchase price payable by the Trust; if the value of the purchased securities or other assets increases during such a delay, that loss may also be increased. When the Trust enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, any fluctuations in the market value of either the securities or other assets transferred to another party or the securities or other assets in which the proceeds may be invested would affect the market value of the Trust’s assets. As a result, such transactions may increase fluctuations in the NAV of the Common Shares The Trust’s use of leverage through reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and economically similar transactions will be included when calculating the Trust’s Financial Leverage and therefore will be limited by the Trust’s maximum overall Financial Leverage levels approved by the Board of Trustees and may be further limited by the applicable requirements of the SEC discussed herein.

In addition, the Trust may engage in certain derivatives transactions that have economic characteristics similar to leverage. The Trust’s obligations under such transactions will not be considered indebtedness for purposes of the 1940 Act but the Trust’s use of such transactions may be limited by the applicable requirements of the SEC. The Trust’s obligations under reverse repurchase agreements, dollar roll transactions, and derivatives transactions may have economic characteristics similar to leverage.

The Trust may have Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions outstanding during a short-term period during which such Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions may not be beneficial to the Trust if GPIM believes that the long-term benefits to Common Shareholders of such Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions would outweigh the costs and portfolio disruptions associated with redeeming and reissuing or closing out and reopening such Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions. However, there can be no assurance that GPIM’s judgment in weighing such costs and benefits will be correct.

Economic and market events have at times caused severe market volatility and liquidity strains in the credit markets. The terms of the Trust’s credit facility include a variable interest rate. Accordingly, during periods when interest rates or the applicable reference rate for the credit facility rise or there are dislocations in the credit markets, the Trust’s leverage costs may increase and there is a risk that the Trust may not be able to renew or replace existing leverage on favorable terms or at all. If the cost of leverage is no longer favorable, or if the Trust is otherwise required to reduce its leverage, the Trust may not be able to maintain distributions

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

on Common Shares at historical levels and Common Shareholders will bear any costs associated with selling portfolio securities. The cost of leverage and the risks highlighted above are heightened during periods of rising interest rates.

The Trust’s total Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions may vary significantly over time. To the extent the Trust increases its amount of Financial Leverage and leveraged transactions outstanding, it will be more exposed to associated risks.

Investments in Investment Funds and certain other pooled and structured finance vehicles, such as collateralized loan obligations, frequently expose the Trust to an additional layer of financial leverage and, thus, increase the Trust’s exposure to leverage risk. From time to time, the Trust may invest a significant portion of its assets in Investment Funds that employ leverage.

The Trust is required to trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations (except reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions) subject to value-at-risk (“VaR”) leverage limits and derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless a fund satisfies a “limited derivatives users” exception that is included in Rule 18f-4. When the Trust trades reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions, including certain tender option bonds, it needs to aggregate the amount of indebtedness associated with the reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions with the aggregate amount of any other senior securities representing indebtedness when calculating the Trust’s asset coverage ratio or treat all such transactions as derivatives transactions. Reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions aggregated with other indebtedness do not need to be included in the calculation of whether a fund satisfies the limited derivatives users exception, but for funds subject to the VaR testing requirement, reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions must be included for purposes of such testing whether treated as derivatives transactions or not. The SEC also provided guidance regarding the use of securities lending collateral that may limit the Trust’s securities lending activities. In addition, the Trust is permitted to invest in a security on a when-issued or forward-settling basis, or with a nonstandard settlement cycle, and the transaction will be deemed not to involve a senior security, provided that (i) the Trust intends to physically settle the transaction and (ii) the transaction will settle within 35 days of its trade date (the “Delayed-Settlement Securities Provision”). The Trust may otherwise engage in such transactions that do not meet the conditions of the Delayed- Settlement Securities Provision so long as the Trust treats any such transaction as a “derivatives transaction” for purposes of compliance with the rule. Furthermore, under the rule, the Trust is permitted to enter into an unfunded commitment agreement, and such unfunded commitment agreement will not be subject to the

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁶⁹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act, if the Trust reasonably believes, at the time it enters into such agreement, that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet its obligations with respect to all such agreements as they come due. These requirements may limit the ability of the Trust to use derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions, and the other relevant transactions as part of its investment strategies. These requirements may increase the cost of the Trust’s investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect investors.

The Adviser has filed with the National Futures Association a notice of eligibility claiming an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (“CPO”) under CFTC Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”), with respect to the Trust’s operation. Accordingly, the Adviser with respect to the Trust is not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO. Changes to the Trust’s investment strategies or investments may cause the Adviser with respect to the Trust to lose the benefits of the exclusion under CFTC Rule 4.5 under the CEA and may trigger additional CFTC regulation as a CPO. If the Adviser with respect to the Trust’s operation becomes subject to CFTC regulation, the Trust or the Adviser may incur additional expenses.

Inflation/Deflation Risk

Inflation risk is the risk that the intrinsic value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the purchasing power and value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Common Shares and distributions can decline. Inflation rates may change frequently and significantly as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy and changes in monetary or economic policies (or expectations that these policies may change) and the Trust’s investments may not keep pace with inflation, which could adversely affect the Trust. The market price of fixed rate debt instruments generally falls as inflation increases because the purchasing power of the future income and repaid principal is expected to be worth less when received by the Trust. The risk of inflation is greater for debt instruments with longer maturities that pay a fixed interest rate. Additionally, actions by governments and central banking authorities intended to address inflation levels can result in changes in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, and vice versa, which may adversely affect a Trust and its investments. In addition, during any periods of rising inflation, the dividend rates or borrowing costs associated with the Trust’s use of Financial Leverage would likely increase, which would tend to further reduce returns to Common Shareholders. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time-the opposite of inflation. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Trust’s portfolio.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Insurance Risk

The Trust may purchase municipal securities that are secured by insurance, bank credit agreements or escrow accounts. The credit quality of the companies that provide such credit enhancements will affect the value of those securities. Significant providers of insurance for municipal securities can incur, and have in the past incurred, significant losses as a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit quality investments. Such losses can reduce the insurers’ capital and call into question their continued ability to perform their obligations under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have the rating of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more relevant and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. In such a case, the value of insurance associated with a municipal security would decline and may not add any value. The insurance feature of a municipal security normally guarantees the full payment of principal and interest when due through the life of an insured obligation. The insurance feature does not, however, guarantee the market value of the insured obligation or the net asset value of the Common Shares attributable to such insured obligation. There is no assurance that insurers will meet the claims made on their insurance.

Below-Investment Grade Securities Risk

The Trust may invest in Income Securities rated below-investment grade or, if unrated, determined by GPIM to be of comparable credit quality, which are commonly referred to as “high-yield” or “junk” bonds. Investment in securities of below-investment grade quality involves substantial risk of loss and increased volatility, the risk of which is particularly acute under adverse economic conditions. Income Securities of below-investment grade quality are predominantly speculative by certain rating agencies with respect to the issuer’s continuing capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due and therefore involve a greater risk of default or decline in market value or income due to adverse economic and issuer-specific developments, such as operating results and outlook and to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions, compared to investment grade bonds. Securities of below-investment grade quality are often issued by companies that are restructuring, have limited track records of earnings or sales, are smaller and less creditworthy or are more highly leveraged or indebted than companies or are financially distressed, and therefore they typically have more difficulty making scheduled payments of principal and interest and are more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁷¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Securities of below-investment grade quality generally involve a greater risk of default or decline in market value or income due to adverse economic and issuer-specific developments, such as operating results and outlook and to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions. Generally, the risks associated with below-investment grade securities are heightened during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates (particularly for issuers that are highly leveraged). If the Trust is unable to sell an investment at its desired time, the Trust may miss other investment opportunities while it holds investments it would prefer to sell, which could adversely affect the Trust’s performance. In addition, the liquidity of any Trust investment may change significantly over time as a result of market, economic, trading, issuer-specific and other factors. Accordingly, the performance of the Trust and a shareholder’s investment in the Trust may be adversely affected if an issuer is unable to pay interest and repay principal, either on time or at all. Issuers of below-investment grade securities are not perceived to be as strong financially as those with higher credit ratings. These issuers are more vulnerable to financial setbacks and recessions and other adverse economic developments than more creditworthy issuers, which may impair their ability to make interest and principal payments. Income Securities of below-investment grade quality display increased price sensitivity to changing interest rates and to a deteriorating economic environment.

Under unusual, weakening or adverse economic, market and/or political conditions (such as recessions or periods of rising unemployment), or during periods of changing interest rates, high yield securities may be particularly susceptible to credit and default risk (e.g., delinquencies, nonpayment rates and losses could increase) and declines in market value or income could be substantial (or total). The market values, total return and yield for securities of below-investment grade quality tend to be more volatile than the market values, total return and yield for higher quality bonds, and the entire below-investment grade market can experience sudden and sharp swings due to a variety of factors, including changes in economic forecasts, stock market activity, large or sustained sales by major investors, a high-profile default, or a change in the market’s perception regarding below-investment grade securities. Securities of below-investment grade quality tend to be less liquid than investment grade debt securities and therefore more difficult to value accurately and sell at an advantageous price or time and may involve greater transactions costs and wider bid/ ask spreads, than higher-quality securities. Additionally, issuers of below-investment grade securities may have the right to “call” or redeem the issue prior to its maturity, which could result in the Trust having to reinvest in other below-investment grade or other securities at a lower interest rate or with other less favorable terms. This may be more likely during a declining interest rate environment. Adverse conditions could make it difficult at times for the Trust to sell certain securities or could result in lower prices than those used in calculating the

¹⁷²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Trust’s NAV. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain below- investment grade securities, the market for them may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. Please refer to “Liquidity Risk” for additional information. Investments in below-investment grade securities subject the Trust to prepayment risk. Please refer to “Prepayment Risk” for additional information. Because of the substantial risks associated with investments in below-investment grade securities, you could have an increased risk of losing money on your investment in Common Shares, both in the short-term and the long-term. To the extent that the Trust invests in securities that have not been rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the Trust’s ability to achieve its investment objectives will be more dependent on GPIM’s credit analysis than would be the case when the Trust invests in rated securities. Please refer to “Management Risk” for additional information.

Investment in lower-medium and lower-rated debt securities may involve greater investment risk and the success of such investment is highly dependent on GPIM’s credit analysis. The value of securities of below-investment grade quality is particularly vulnerable to changes in interest rates and a real or perceived economic downturn or higher interest rates could cause a decline in prices of such securities by lessening the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. These securities may not be listed on an exchange and are often thinly traded or subject to irregular trading and can be more difficult to sell and value accurately than higher-quality securities because there tends to be less public information available about these securities. Because objective pricing data may be less available, judgment may play a greater role in the valuation process. An economic downturn or individual corporate developments could adversely affect the market for these investments and reduce the Trust’s ability to sell these investments at an advantageous time or price. These or similar types of developments could cause below-investment grade securities to lose significant market value, including before a default occurs.

Repurchase Agreement Risk

The Trust may enter into bilateral and tri-party repurchase agreements. In a typical Trust repurchase agreement, the Trust enters into a contract with a broker, dealer, or bank (the “counterparty” to the transaction) for the purchase of securities or other assets. The counterparty agrees to repurchase the securities or other assets at a specified future date, or on demand, for a price that is sufficient to return to the Trust its original purchase price, plus an additional amount representing the return on the Trust’s investment. Such repurchase agreements economically function as a secured loan from the Trust to a counterparty. If the counterparty defaults on the repurchase agreement, the Trust will retain possession of the underlying securities or other assets. If bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller, realization on the collateral by the Trust may be delayed or limited

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁷³


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

and the Trust may incur additional costs. In such case, the Trust will be subject to risks associated with changes in market value of the collateral securities or other assets. The Trust intends to enter into repurchase agreements only with brokers, dealers, or banks or other permitted counterparties after the Adviser (or the Sub- Adviser) evaluates the creditworthiness of the counterparty. The Trust will not enter into repurchase agreements with the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates. Except as provided under applicable law, the Trust may enter into repurchase agreements without limitation.

Repurchase agreements, the underlying collateral of which consists entirely of cash items, U.S. government securities or by securities issued by an issuer that the Adviser or GPIM has determined at the time the repurchase agreement is entered into has an exceptionally strong capacity to meet its financial obligations (“Qualifying Collateral”) and meet certain liquidity and other standards generally may be deemed to be “collateralized fully” and may be deemed to be investments in the underlying securities for certain purposes. The Trust may accept collateral other than Qualifying Collateral determined by the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser to be in the best interests of the Trust to accept as collateral for such repurchase agreement (which may include high yield debt instruments that are rated below-investment grade) (“Alternative Collateral”). Repurchase agreements that are secured by Alternative Collateral are not deemed to be “collateralized fully” under applicable regulations, and the repurchase agreement is therefore considered a separate security issued by the counterparty to the Trust. Accordingly, the Trust must include repurchase agreements that are not “collateralized fully” in its calculations of securities issued by the selling institution held by the Trust for purposes of various portfolio diversification and concentration requirements applicable to the Trust. In addition, Alternative Collateral may not qualify as permitted or appropriate investments for the Trust under the Trust’s investment strategies and limitations. Accordingly, if a counterparty to a repurchase agreement defaults and the Trust takes possession of Alternative Collateral, the Trust may need to promptly dispose of the Alternative Collateral (or other securities held by the Trust, if the Trust exceeds a limitation on a permitted investment by virtue of taking possession of the Alternative Collateral). The Alternative Collateral may be particularly illiquid, especially in times of market volatility or in the case of a counterparty insolvency or bankruptcy, which may restrict the Trust’s ability to dispose of Alternative Collateral received from the counterparty. Depending on the terms of the repurchase agreement, the Trust may determine to sell the collateral during the term of the repurchase agreement and then purchase the same collateral at the market price at the time of the resale. In tri-party repurchase agreements, an unaffiliated third party custodian maintains accounts to hold collateral for the Trust and its counterparties and, therefore, the Trust may be subject to the credit risk of that custodian.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Sector Risk

The Trust may invest a significant portion of its managed assets in certain sectors which may subject the Trust to additional risk and variability. To the extent that the Trust focuses its managed assets in the hospital and healthcare facilities sector, for example, the Trust will be subject to risks associated with such sector, including adverse government regulation and reduction in reimbursement rates, as well as government approval of products and services and intense competition. Securities issued with respect to special taxing districts will be subject to various risks, including real-estate development related risks and taxpayer concentration risk. Further, the fees, special taxes or tax allocations and other revenues established to secure the obligations of securities issued with respect to special taxing districts are generally limited as to the rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. To the extent that the Trust focuses its managed assets in the education sector, for example, the Trust will be subject to risks associated with such sector, including unanticipated revenue decline resulting primarily from a decrease in student enrollment or reductions in state and federal funding, restrictions on students’ ability to pay tuition, and declining general economic conditions or fluctuations in interest rates, which may lead to declining or insufficient revenues. In addition, charter schools and other private educational facilities are subject to various risks, including the reversal of legislation authorizing or funding charter schools, the failure to renew or secure a charter, the failure of a funding entity to appropriate necessary funds and competition from alternatives such as voucher programs. Issuers of municipal utility securities can be significantly affected by government regulation, financing difficulties, supply and demand of services or fuel and natural resource conservation. The transportation sector, including airports, airlines, ports and other transportation facilities, can be significantly affected by changes in the economy, fuel prices, maintenance, labor relations, insurance costs and government regulation.

Short Sales Risk

The Trust may make short sales of securities. Short selling a security involves selling a borrowed security with the expectation that the value of that security will decline, so that the security may be purchased at a lower price when returning the borrowed security. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Trust replaces the borrowed security, the Trust will incur a loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Trust will realize a capital gain. Any gain will be decreased, and any loss will be increased, by the transaction costs incurred by the Trust, including the costs associated with providing collateral to the broker-dealer (usually cash and liquid securities) and the maintenance of collateral with its custodian. Although the Trust’s gain is limited to the price at which it sold the security short, its potential loss is theoretically unlimited and may be greater

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁷⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

than a direct investment in the security itself because the price of the borrowed or reference security may rise. The Trust may not always be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. A lender may request that borrowed securities be returned to it on short notice, and the Trust may have to buy the borrowed securities at an unfavorable price, resulting in a loss. The Trust may have to pay a premium to borrow the securities and must pay any dividends or interest payable on the securities until they are replaced, which will be expenses of the Trust. Short sales also subject the Trust to risks related to the lender (such as bankruptcy risks) or the general risk that the lender does not comply with its obligations. Government actions also may affect the Trust’s ability to engage in short selling. The use of physical short sales is typically more expensive than gaining short exposure through derivatives.

Special Risks Related to Certain Municipal Securities

The Trust may invest in municipal leases and certificates of participation in such leases. Although subject to the risks generally associated with municipal securities, municipal leases and certificates of participation involve special risks not normally associated with general obligations or revenue bonds. Leases and installment purchase or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass eventually to the governmental issuer) are a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. The debt issuance limitations are deemed to be inapplicable because of the inclusion in many leases or contracts of “non-appropriation” clauses that relieve the governmental issuer of any obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purpose by the appropriate legislative body. In addition, such leases or contracts may be subject to the temporary abatement of payments in the event the governmental issuer is prevented from maintaining occupancy of the leased premises or utilizing the leased equipment. Although the obligations may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to fully recover the Trust’s original investment. In the event of non-appropriation, the issuer would be in default and taking ownership of the assets may be a remedy available to the Trust, although the Trust does not anticipate that such a remedy would normally be pursued.

Certificates of participation, which represent interests in unmanaged pools of municipal leases or installment contracts, involve the same risks as the underlying municipal leases. In addition, the Trust may be dependent upon the municipal authority issuing the certificates of participation to exercise remedies with respect to the underlying securities. Certificates of participation entail a risk of default or

¹⁷⁶^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

bankruptcy not only of the issuer of the underlying lease but also of the municipal agency issuing the certificate of participation.

Structured Finance Investments Risk

The Trust’s structured finance investments may include residential and commercial mortgage-related and other ABS issued by governmental entities and private issuers. While traditional fixed-income securities typically pay a fixed rate of interest until maturity, when the entire principal amount is due, these investments represent an interest in a pool of residential or commercial real estate or assets such as automobile loans, credit card receivables or student loans that have been securitized and provide for monthly or other periodic payments of interest and principal to the holder based from the cash flow of these assets. Holders of structured finance investments bear risks of the underlying investments, index or reference obligation and are subject to counterparty and other risks. The Trust may have the right to receive payments only from the structured product, and generally does not have direct rights against the issuer or the entity that sold the assets to be securitized. While certain structured finance investments enable the investor to acquire interests in a pool of securities without the brokerage and other expenses associated with directly holding the same securities, investors in structured finance investments generally pay their share of the structured product’s administrative and other expenses. Although it is difficult to accurately predict whether the prices of indices and securities underlying structured finance investments will rise or fall, these prices (and, therefore, the prices of structured finance investments) will be influenced by the same types of political, economic and other events that affect issuers of securities and capital markets generally. If the issuer of a structured product uses shorter term financing to purchase longer term securities, the issuer may be forced to sell its securities at below market prices if it experiences difficulty in obtaining short-term financing, which may adversely affect the value of the structured finance investment owned by the Trust.

The Trust may invest in structured finance products collateralized by low grade or defaulted loans or securities. Investments in such structured finance products are subject to the risks associated with below-investment grade securities. Such securities are characterized by high risk. It is likely that an economic recession could severely disrupt the market for such securities and may have an adverse impact on the value of such securities.

The Trust may invest in senior and subordinated classes issued by structured finance vehicles. The payment of cash flows from the underlying assets to senior classes take precedence over those of subordinated classes, and therefore subordinated classes are subject to greater risk. Furthermore, the leveraged nature of subordinated classes may magnify the adverse impact on such class of changes in the value of the assets, changes in the distributions on the assets, defaults and

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁷⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

recoveries on the assets, capital gains and losses on the assets, prepayment on assets and availability, price and interest rates of assets.

Structured finance securities may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market. Structured finance securities are typically privately offered and sold, and thus are not registered under the securities laws.

Structured finance investments are subject to liquidity risk and may be subject to risks associated with private placements and restricted securities. Please refer to “Liquidity Risk”, “Private Securities Risk” and “Risks Associated with Private Company Investments” for additional information.

As discussed below, structured finance securities, such as mortgage-backed securities, issued by non-governmental issuers are not guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government or a government sponsored enterprise and are typically subject to greater risk than those issued by such governmental entities. For example, privately issued mortgage-backed securities are not subject to the same underwriting requirements for underlying mortgages as those issued by governmental entities and, as a result, mortgage loans underlying such privately issued securities typically have less favorable underwriting characteristics (such as credit risk and collateral) and a wider range in terms (such as interest rate, term and borrower characteristics).

Investments in structured finance securities generally are subject to many of the same risks that are applicable to investments in certain other types of securities, including currency risk, geographic emphasis risk, below-investment grade securities risk, leverage risk, prepayment and extension risk and regulatory risk. Generally, these securities are particularly subject to interest rate, market and credit risks and the risk that nonpayment on underlying assets will result in a decline in the value of the securities.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk

The Trust may invest in ABS issued by legal entities that are sponsored by banks, investment banks, other financial institutions or companies, asset management firms or funds and are specifically created for the purpose of issuing such ABS. Investors in ABS receive payments that are part interest and part return of principal or certain ABS may be interest-only securities or principal-only securities. These payments typically depend upon the cash flows generated by an underlying pool of assets and vary based on the rate at which the underlying obligors pay off their liabilities under the underlying assets. The pooled assets provide cash flow to the issuer, which then makes interest and principal payments to investors. As a result, these investments involve the risk, among other risks, that the borrower may default on its obligations backing the ABS and, thus, the value of and interest generated by such investment will decline. In addition to the general risks (such as interest

¹⁷⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, market risk, credit risk and liquidity and valuation risk) associated with credit or debt securities discussed herein, ABS are subject to additional risks due to their structure.

During periods of declining interest rates, prepayment of borrowings underlying asset-backed securities can be expected to accelerate.

Accordingly, the Trust’s ability to reinvest the returns of principal at comparable yields is subject to generally prevailing interest rates at that time. ABS are also subject to liquidity and valuation risk and, therefore, may be difficult to value accurately or sell at an advantageous time or price and involve greater transaction costs and wider bid/ask spreads than certain other instruments. In addition, the assets or collateral underlying an ABS may be insufficient or unavailable in the event of a default and enforcing rights with respect to these assets or collateral may be difficult and costly.

While traditional fixed-income securities typically pay a fixed rate of interest until maturity, when the entire principal amount is due, an ABS represents an interest in a pool of assets that has been securitized and typically provides for monthly or quarterly payments of interest, at a fixed or floating rate, and may provide for payments of principal from the cash flow of these assets. This pool of assets (and any related assets of the issuing entity) is often the only source of payment for the ABS. The ability of an ABS issuer to make payments on the ABS, and the timing of such payments, is therefore dependent on collections on these underlying assets. The recoveries on the underlying collateral may not, in some cases, be sufficient to support payments on these securities, or may be unavailable in the event of a default and enforcing rights with respect to these assets or collateral may be difficult and costly, which may result in losses to investors in an ABS.

Generally, obligors may prepay the underlying assets in full or in part at any time, subjecting the Trust to prepayment risk related to the ABS it holds. While the expected repayment streams on ABS are determined by the contractual amortization schedules for the underlying assets, an investor’s yield to maturity on an ABS is uncertain and may be reduced by the rate and speed of prepayments of the underlying assets, which may be influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors. Any prepayments, repurchases, purchases or liquidations of the underlying assets could shorten the average life of the ABS to an extent that cannot be fully predicted. Some ABS may be structured to include a period of rapid amortization triggered by events such as a significant rise in the default rate of the underlying collateral, a sharp drop in the credit enhancement level because of credit losses on the underlying assets, a specified regulatory event or the bankruptcy of the originator. A rapid amortization event will cause any revolving period to end earlier than expected and all collections on the underlying assets will be used to pay principal to investors earlier than expected. In general, the senior most securities

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁷⁹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

will be paid prior to any payments being made on the subordinated securities, and if such payments are made earlier than expected, the Trust’s yield on such ABS may be negatively affected.

In addition, investments in ABS entail additional risks relating to the underlying pools of assets, including credit risk, default risk (such as a borrower’s default on its obligation and the default, failure or inadequacy or unavailability of a guarantee, if any, underlying the ABS intended to protect investors in the event of default) and prepayment and extension risk with respect to the underlying pool or individual assets represented in the pool. The underlying assets of an ABS may include, without limitation, residential or commercial mortgages, motor vehicle installment sales or installment loan contracts, leases of various types of real, personal and other property, receivable from credit card agreements and automobile finance agreements, student loans, consumer loans, and income from other income streams, such as income from business loans. Moreover, additional risks relating to investments in ABS may arise principally because of the type of ABS in which the Trust invests, with such risks primarily associated with the particular assets collateralizing the ABS (such as their type or nature), the structure of such ABS, or the tranche or priority of the ABS held by the Trust (with junior or equity tranches generally carrying higher levels of risk).

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk

Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”) represent an interest in a pool of mortgages. MBS are subject to certain risks, such as: credit risk associated with the performance of the underlying mortgage properties and of the borrowers owning these properties; risks associated with their structure and execution (including the collateral, the process by which principal and interest payments are allocated and distributed to investors and how credit losses affect the return to investors in such MBS); risks associated with the servicer of the underlying mortgages; adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, which are more likely to have an adverse impact on MBS secured by loans on certain types of commercial properties than on those secured by loans on residential properties; prepayment and extension risks associated with the underlying assets of certain MBS, which can shorten the weighted average maturity and lower the return of the MBS, or lengthen the expected maturity, respectively, leading to significant fluctuations in the value of the MBS; loss of all or part of the premium, if any, paid; and decline in the market value of the security, whether resulting from changes in interest rates, prepayments on the underlying mortgage collateral or perceptions of the credit risk associated with the underlying mortgage collateral.

The value of MBS may be substantially dependent on the servicing of the underlying pool of mortgages. In addition, the Trust’s level of investment in MBS

¹⁸⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

of a particular type or in MBS issued or guaranteed by affiliated obligors, serviced by the same servicer or backed by underlying collateral located in a specific geographic region, may subject the Trust to additional risk.

When market interest rates decline, more mortgages are refinanced and the securities are paid off earlier than expected. Prepayments may also occur on a scheduled basis or due to foreclosure. When market interest rates increase, the market values of MBS decline. At the same time, however, mortgage refinancings and prepayments slow, which lengthens the effective maturities of these securities. As a result, the negative effect of the rate increase on the market value of MBS is usually more pronounced than it is for other types of debt securities. In addition, due to instability in the credit markets, the market for some MBS has at times experienced reduced liquidity and greater volatility with respect to the value of such securities, making it more difficult to value such securities. The Trust may invest in sub-prime mortgages or MBS that are backed by sub- prime mortgages or defaulted or nonperforming loans, which may be subject to heightened risks compared to other MBS. See “Sub-Prime Mortgage Market Risk” below for more information.

Additional risks relating to investments in MBS may arise principally because of the type of MBS in which the Trust invests, with such risks primarily associated with the particular assets collateralizing the MBS and the structure of such MBS. For example, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), which are MBS that are typically collateralized by mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities and multi-class pass-through securities, are commonly structured as equity interests in a trust composed of mortgage loans or other MBS. CMOs are usually issued in multiple classes, often referred to as “tranches,” with each tranche having a specific fixed or floating coupon rate and stated maturity or final distribution date. Under the traditional CMO structure, the cash flows generated by the mortgages or mortgage pass-through securities in the collateral pool are used to first pay interest and then pay principal to the holders of the CMOs. Subject to the provisions of individual CMO issues, the cash flow generated by the underlying collateral (to the extent it exceeds the amount required to pay the stated interest) is used to retire the bonds. As a result of these and other structural characteristics of CMOs, CMOs may have complex or highly variable prepayment terms, such as companion classes, interest only or principal only payments, inverse floaters and residuals. These investments generally entail greater market, prepayment and liquidity risks than other MBS, and may be more volatile or less liquid than other MBS. CMOs are further subject to certain risks specific to these securities. For example, the average life of CMOs is typically determined using mathematical models that incorporate prepayment and other assumptions that involve estimates of future economic and market conditions, which may prove to be incorrect, particularly in periods of heightened market

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁸¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

volatility. Further, the average weighted life of certain CMOs may not accurately reflect the price volatility of such securities, resulting in price fluctuations greater than what would be expected from interest rate movements alone.

Non-agency MBS (i.e., MBS issued by commercial banks, savings and loans institutions, mortgage bankers, private mortgage insurance companies and other non-governmental issuers) are subject to the risk that the value of such securities will decline because, among other things, the securities are not guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government or a government sponsored enterprise. Non-agency MBS are not subject to the same underwriting requirements for underlying mortgages as agency MBS and, as a result, mortgage loans underlying non-agency MBS typically have less favorable underwriting characteristics (such as credit and default risk and collateral) and a wider range in terms (such as interest rate, term and borrower characteristics) than agency MBS. Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities often are issued in the form of several different tranches. Depending on their respective seniority, individual tranches are subject to increased (and sometimes different) credit, prepayment and liquidity and valuation risks as compared to other tranches. These securities are often subject to greater credit, prepayment and liquidity and valuation risks than agency MBS. In addition, these securities may be less readily marketable as the market for these securities is typically smaller and less liquid than the market for agency MBS. For example, during periods of weakness or perceived weakness in the mortgage and real estate sectors, non- agency mortgage-related securities may experience greater price fluctuations and less liquidity than agency mortgage-related securities.

Moreover, the relationship between prepayments and interest rates may give some high-yielding MBS less potential for growth in value than conventional bonds with comparable maturities. In addition, in periods of falling interest rates, the rate of prepayments tends to increase. During such periods, the reinvestment of prepayment proceeds by the Trust will generally be at lower interest rates than the interest rates that were carried by the obligations that have been prepaid. Because of these and other reasons, MBS’s total return and maturity may be difficult to predict precisely. To the extent that the Trust purchases MBS at a premium, prepayments (which may be made without penalty) may result in loss of the Trust’s principal investment to the extent of premium paid.

The general effects of inflation on the U.S. economy can be wide ranging, as evidenced by rising interest rates, wages, and costs of consumer goods and necessities. The long-term effects of inflation on the general economy and on any individual mortgagor are unclear, and in certain cases, rising inflation and costs may affect a mortgagor’s ability to repay its related mortgage loan, thereby reducing the amount received by the holders of MBS with respect to such mortgage loan.

Additionally, increased rates of inflation, as recently experienced, may negatively affect the value of certain MBS in the secondary market. In addition, during periods of declining economic conditions, losses on mortgages underlying MBS generally increase. Mortgage-backed securities generally are classified as either CMBS or RMBS, each of which are subject to certain specific risks. CMBS and RMBS are also subject to risks similar to those associated with investing in real estate, such as the possible decline in the value of (or income generated by) the real estate, variations in rental income, fluctuations in occupancy levels and demand for properties or real estate-related services, changes in interest rates and changes in the availability or terms of mortgages and other financing that may render the sale or refinancing of properties difficult or unattractive.

MBS, including CMBS and RMBS, are subject to the risks of ABS generally and are particularly sensitive to credit risk, changes in interest rates and developments in the commercial or residential real estate markets, and the overall market and other economic developments (e.g., a rise in unemployment rate may cause a rise in delinquencies in mortgages underlying mortgage-related securities). Because changing interest rates tend to adjust the duration of fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, a changing interest rate environment can cause the prices of mortgage- backed securities to be increasingly volatile and increase the risk that payments on principal may occur more quickly (or earlier) or slower (or later) than expected, each of which may adversely affect the Trust’s holdings of mortgage-backed securities. For example, a rising interest rate environment will generally cause the average life of these securities to extend, which may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security’s duration and increase sensitivity to further interest rate changes. This may negatively affect the Trust’s returns because the value of the security decreases when principal payments are made later than expected. In addition, because principal payments are made later than expected, the Trust may be prevented from investing proceeds it would otherwise have received at a given time at the higher prevailing interest rates. Rising interest rates generally result in a decline in the value of mortgage-backed securities. In addition, in general, a decline of housing values and other economic developments (such as a rise in unemployment rates or a slowdown in the overall economy) may cause delinquencies or non-payment in mortgages (particularly sub-prime and non-prime mortgages) underlying MBS, which would likely adversely impact the ability of the issuer to make principal and/or interest payments timely or at all to holders of MBS and negatively affect the Trust’s investments in such MBS.

Without an active trading market, mortgage-related securities held in the Trust’s portfolio may be particularly difficult to value because of the complexities involved in assessing the value of the underlying mortgage loans.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk

CMBS are collateralized by one or more commercial mortgage loans. Banks and other lending institutions typically group the loans into pools and interests in these pools are then sold to investors, allowing the lender to have more money available to loan to other commercial real estate owners. Commercial mortgage loans may be secured by office properties, retail properties, hotels, mixed use properties or multifamily apartment buildings. The value of, and income generated by, investments in CMBS are subject to the risks of ABS and mortgage-related securities generally, as well as the commercial real estate markets and the real estate securing the underlying mortgage. CMBS are often subject to credit, default, prepayment and liquidity and valuation risks and may experience greater price volatility than other types of ABS or mortgage-related securities.

CMBS are subject to particular risks, such as those associated with lack of standardized terms, shorter maturities than residential mortgage loans and payment of all or substantially all of the principal only at maturity rather than regular amortization of principal. In addition, commercial lending generally is viewed as exposing the lender to a greater risk of loss than residential lending. Commercial lending typically involves larger loans to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers than residential mortgage loans. In addition, the repayment of loans secured by income producing properties typically is dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project and the cash flow generated therefrom.Net operating income of an income-producing property can be affected by, among other things: tenant mix, success of tenant businesses, property management decisions, property location and condition, competition from comparable types of properties, changes in laws that increase operating expense or limit rents that may be charged, any need to address environmental contamination at the property, the occurrence of any uninsured casualty at the property, changes in national, regional or local economic conditions and/ or specific industry segments, declines in regional or local or other real estate values, public health conditions, declines in regional or local rental or occupancy rates, increases in interest rates, real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, change in governmental rules, regulations and fiscal policies, including environmental legislation, acts of God, terrorism, social unrest and civil disturbances.

Consequently, adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances are more likely to have an adverse impact on MBS secured by loans on commercial properties than on those secured by loans on residential properties. Economic downturns, rises in unemployment, tightening lending standards and increased interest and lending rates, developments adverse to the commercial real estate markets, and other developments that limit or reduce demand for commercial

¹⁸⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

retail and office spaces (including continued or expanded remote working arrangement) as well as increased maintenance or tenant improvement costs and costs to convert properties for other uses adversely impact these investments. For example, economic decline in the businesses operated by the tenants of office or retail properties may increase the likelihood that the tenants may be unable to pay their rent or that properties may be unable to attract or retain tenants at all or on favorable terms for the commercial real estate owners, resulting in vacancies (potentially for extended periods) and losses. These developments could also result from, among other things, population shifts and other demographic changes, changing tastes and preferences as well as cultural, technological, working or economic and market developments. In addition, changing interest rate environments and associated changes in lending standards and higher refinancing rates may adversely affect the commercial real estate and CMBS markets. Moreover, mortgage-related securities, including CMBS, are subject to (in some cases to a greater extent) general investment, economic, market and/or geopolitical risks that affect general economic conditions and financial markets, such as pandemics, armed conflicts, energy supply or price disruptions, natural disasters and man-made disasters, which may have a significant effect on the underlying commercial mortgage loans and real estate. In addition, adverse developments in the local, regional and national economies affect consumer spending and can have a significant effect on the success of a retail space. Further, increased competition in the market of a retail property through the addition of competing properties nearby can adversely impact the success of a retail property, even if the local, regional and national economies are doing well. Retail properties are also subject to conditions that could negatively affect the retail sector, such as increased unemployment, increased federal income and payroll taxes, increased health care costs, increased state and local taxes, increased real estate taxes, industry slowdowns, lack of availability of consumer credit, weak income growth, increased levels of consumer debt, poor housing market conditions, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, plant closings, and other factors. Similarly, local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods, and the supply and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants may negatively impact those retail properties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing or similar developments would likely increase the risks associated with these investments, such as the default risk for the properties and loans underlying the CMBS investments, and adversely impact the value of, and income generated by, these investments and the underlying properties or loans. These developments could also result in reduced liquidity for CMBS. CMBS are also subject to the risk that the value of, and income generated by, such securities will decline because, among other things, the securities are not issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government or a government sponsored enterprise and, thus, would be subject to similar risks as non-agency MBS. CMBS often are issued in the

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁸⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

form of several different tranches. Depending on their respective seniority, individual tranches are subject to increased (and sometimes different) credit, prepayment and liquidity and valuation risks as compared to other tranches. CMBS are often subject to credit, default, prepayment and liquidity and valuation risks and may experience greater price volatility than other types of ABS or MBS.

Additional risks may be presented by the type and use of a particular commercial property. Special risks are presented by hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, hospitality properties and certain other property types. Commercial property values and net operating income are subject to volatility, which may result in net operating income becoming insufficient to cover debt service on the related mortgage loan. The exercise of remedies and successful realization of liquidation proceeds relating to CMBS may be highly dependent on the performance of the servicer or special servicer. There may be a limited number of special servicers available, particularly those that do not have conflicts of interest.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk

Home mortgage loans are typically grouped together into pools by banks and other lending institutions, and interests in these pools are then sold to investors, allowing the bank or other lending institution to have more money available to loan to home buyers. RMBS are particularly subject to the credit risk of the borrower. Credit-related risk on RMBS primarily arises from losses due to delinquencies and defaults by the borrowers in payments on the underlying mortgage loans and breaches by originators and servicers of their obligations under the underlying documentation pursuant to which the RMBS are issued. RMBS are also subject to the risks of MBS generally and the residential real estate markets. The rate of delinquencies and defaults on residential mortgage loans and the aggregate amount of the resulting losses will be affected by a number of factors, including general economic conditions, particularly those in the area where the related mortgaged property is located, the level of the borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property and the individual financial circumstances of the borrower. For example, borrowers with adjustable rate mortgage loans are more sensitive to changes in interest rates, which affect their monthly mortgage payments, and may be unable to secure replacement mortgages at comparably low interest rates. The risk of non-payment is greater for RMBS that are backed by loans that were originated under weak underwriting standards, including loans made to borrowers with limited means to make repayment. RMBS are also subject to risks associated with the actions of mortgage lenders in the marketplace. Such lenders may adjust their loan programs and underwriting standards, which may reduce the availability of mortgage credit to prospective mortgagors. This may result in limited financing alternatives for mortgagors seeking to refinance their existing loans, which may in turn result in higher rates of delinquencies, defaults and losses on mortgages.

If a residential mortgage loan is in default, foreclosure on the related residential property may be a lengthy and difficult process involving significant legal and other expenses. The net proceeds obtained by the holder on a residential mortgage loan following the foreclosure on the related property may be less than the total amount that remains due on the loan. The prospect of incurring a loss upon the foreclosure of the related property may lead the holder of the residential mortgage loan to restructure the residential mortgage loan or otherwise delay the foreclosure process.

Income from and values of RMBS also may be greatly affected by demographic trends, such as population shifts or changing tastes and values, or increasing vacancies or declining rents or property values resulting from legal, cultural, technological, global or local economic developments, as well as reduced demand for properties.

Sub-Prime Mortgage Market Risk

Loans made to lower quality borrowers, including those of sub-prime quality, may be underlying assets for an ABS. Loans to such borrowers involve a higher degree of credit, default and the other risks to which MBS are subject, as discussed above. As a result, values of ABS backed by lower quality loans are more likely than others to suffer significant declines due to defaults, delays or the perceived risk of defaults or delays.

The residential mortgage market in the United States has at times experienced difficulties that may adversely affect the performance and market value of certain mortgages and MBS. Delinquencies and losses on residential mortgage loans (especially sub-prime and second-lien mortgage loans) generally have increased at times and may again increase, and a decline in or flattening of housing values (as has been experienced at times and may again be experienced in many housing markets) may exacerbate such delinquencies and losses. Borrowers with adjustable rate mortgage loans are more sensitive to changes in interest rates, which affect their monthly mortgage payments, and may be unable to secure replacement mortgages at comparably low interest rates. Also, a number of residential mortgage loan originators have at times experienced serious financial difficulties or bankruptcy. Largely due to the foregoing, reduced investor demand for mortgage loans and MBS and increased investor yield requirements has at times caused limited liquidity in the secondary market for certain MBS, which can adversely affect the market value of MBS. It is possible that such limited liquidity in such secondary markets could occur again or worsen. If the economy of the United States deteriorates, the incidence of mortgage foreclosures, especially sub-prime mortgages, may increase, which may adversely affect the value of any MBS owned by the Trust.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁸⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Any increase in prevailing market interest rates may result in increased payments for borrowers who have adjustable rate mortgages. Moreover, with respect to hybrid mortgage loans after their initial fixed rate period, interest-only products or products having a lower rate, and with respect to mortgage loans with a negative amortization feature which reach their negative amortization cap, borrowers may experience a substantial increase in their monthly payment even without an increase in prevailing market interest rates. Increases in payments for borrowers may result in increased rates of delinquencies and defaults on residential mortgage loans underlying the RMBS.

Future legislation or regulation, may have significant impacts on the mortgage market generally and may result in a reduction of available transactional opportunities for the Trust or an increase in the cost associated with such transactions and may adversely impact the value of RMBS.

During the mortgage crisis, originators and servicers of residential and commercial mortgage loans experienced serious financial difficulties. Similar difficulties may occur in the future and affect the performance of RMBS and CMBS, particularly non-agency RMBS and CMBS, and especially those of sub-prime quality. There can be no assurance that originators and servicers of mortgage loans will not continue to experience serious financial difficulties or experience such difficulties in the future, including becoming subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or that underwriting procedures and policies and protections against fraud will be sufficient in the future to prevent such financial difficulties or significant levels of default or delinquency on mortgage loans.

CLO, CDO and CBO Risk

The Trust may invest in CDOs, CBOs and CLOs. A CDO is an ABS whose underlying collateral is typically a portfolio of other structured finance debt securities or synthetic instruments issued by another ABS vehicle. A CBO is an ABS whose underlying collateral is a portfolio of bonds. A CLO is an ABS whose underlying collateral is a portfolio of bank loans.

CLOs, CDOs and CBOs are managed by investment advisers independent of the Adviser or GPIM. CLO, CDO and CBO managers are responsible for selecting, managing and replacing the underlying investments. CLO, CDO and CBO managers may have limited operating histories, may be subject to conflicts of interests, including managing the assets of other clients or other investment vehicles, or receiving fees that incentivize maximizing the yield, and indirectly the risk, of a CLO, CDO or CBO. Adverse developments with respect to a CLO, CDO or CBO manager, such as personnel and resource constraints, regulatory issues or other developments that may impact the ability and/or performance of the manager,

¹⁸⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

may adversely impact the performance of the CLO, CBO or CDO securities in which the Trust invests.

In addition, newly issued CLOs, CDOs and CBOs purchased in the primary market typically experience delayed or extended settlement periods. In the period following such a purchase and prior to settlement these CLOs, CBOs or CDOs may be considered less liquid than similar investments available in the secondary market. In such circumstances the Trust bears a risk of loss if the value of the CLO, CBO or CDO declines before the settlement date or if the Trust is required to sell the CLO, CBO or CDO prior to settlement. There is also the risk that the security will not be issued or that the counterparty will not meet its obligation, resulting in a loss of the investment opportunity.

In addition to the general risks (such as interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, market risk, credit risk and liquidity and valuation risk) associated with credit or debt securities discussed herein and the risks discussed under “Structured Finance Investments Risk” and “Asset-Backed Securities Risk,” CLOs, CDOs and CBOs are subject to additional risks due to their complex structure and highly leveraged nature. Additionally, the Trust’s investment in CLOs, CDOs and CBOs will provide it with indirect exposure to the underlying collateral; this indirect investment structure presents certain risks to the Trust. For example, the Trust’s interest in CLO securities may be less liquid than the loans held by the CLO; thus, it may be more difficult for the Trust to dispose of CLO securities than it would be for the Trust to dispose of loans if it held such loans directly. Additionally, CLOs, CDOs and CBOs normally charge management fees and administrative expenses, which fees and expenses would be borne by the Trust.

CLOs, CDOs and CBOs are subject to risks associated with the involvement of multiple transaction parties related to the underlying collateral and disruptions that may occur as a result of the restructuring or insolvency of the underlying obligors, which are generally corporate obligors. Unlike a consumer obligor that is generally obligated to make payments on the collateral backing an ABS, the obligor on the collateral backing a CLO, a CDO or a CBO may have more effective defenses or resources to cause a delay in payment or restructure the underlying obligation. If an obligor is permitted to restructure its obligations, distributions from collateral securities may not be adequate to make interest or other payments.

The performance of CLOs, CDOs and CBOs depends primarily upon the quality of the underlying assets and the level of credit support or enhancement in the structure and the relative priority of the interest in the issuer of the CLO, CDO or CBO purchased by the Trust. In general, CLOs, CDOs and CBOs are actively managed by an asset manager that is responsible for evaluating and acquiring the assets that will collateralize the CLO, CDO or CBO. The asset manager may have difficulty in identifying assets that satisfy the eligibility criteria for the assets

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁸⁹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

and may be restricted from trading the collateral. These criteria, restrictions and requirements, while reducing the overall risk to the Trust, may limit the ability of GPIM to maximize returns on the CLOs, CDOs and CBOs if an opportunity is identified by the collateral manager. In addition, other parties involved in CLOs, CDOs and CBOs, such as credit enhancement providers and investors in senior obligations of the CLO, CDO or CBO may have the right to control the activities and discretion of GPIM in a manner that is adverse to the interests of the Trust. A CLO, CDO or CBO generally includes provisions that alter the priority of payments if performance metrics related to the underlying collateral, such as interest coverage and minimum overcollateralization, are not met. These provisions may cause delays in payments on the securities or an increase in prepayments depending on the relative priority of the securities owned by the Trust. CLOs, CDOs and CBOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield. The failure of a CLO, CDO or CBO to make timely payments on a particular tranche may have an adverse effect on the liquidity and market value of such tranche. Senior tranches are also subject to the risk that junior tranches may disappear, eliminating the protection such junior tranches normally provide more senior tranches.

Payments to holders of CLOs, CDOs and CBOs may be subject to deferral. If cashflows generated by the underlying assets are insufficient to make all current and, if applicable, deferred payments on the CLOs, CDOs and CBOs, no other assets will be available for payment of the deficiency and, following realization of the underlying assets, the obligations of the issuer to pay such deficiency will be extinguished.

Securities issued by CLOs, CDOs and CBOs may experience substantial losses due to defaults or sales of underlying assets at a loss (due to a decline in market value of such assets or otherwise). The value of securities issued by CLOs, CDOs and CBOs also may decrease because of, among other developments, changes in market value; changes in the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the servicer of the assets, the originator of an asset in the pool, or the financial institution or fund providing credit support or enhancement; loan performance and prices; broader market sentiment, including expectations regarding future loan defaults, liquidity conditions and supply and demand for structured products.

The Trust may invest senior, rated tranches as well as mezzanine and subordinated tranches of CLOs. As a result, the CLOs in which the Trust invests may have issued and sold debt tranches that will rank senior to the tranches in which the Trust invests. By their terms, such more senior tranches may entitle the holders to receive payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which the Trust is entitled to receive payments with respect to the tranches in which the Trust invests. Also, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a CLO, holders of more senior tranches would typically be entitled to receive payment

¹⁹⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

in full before the Trust receives any distribution. After repaying such senior creditors, such CLO may not have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to the Trust. In the case of tranches ranking equally with the tranches in which the Trust invests, the Trust would have to share on an equal basis any distributions with other creditors holding such securities in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant CLO. Therefore, the Trust may not receive back the full amount of its investment in a CLO.

Investments in CLOs, CDOs and CBOs will expose the Trust to financial leverage and, thus expose the Trust to the risks associated with financial leverage (such as higher risk of volatility and magnified financial losses). CLOs, CDOs and CBOs are generally privately offered and sold and are not registered under securities laws and may be illiquid. Further, the complex nature of CLOs, CDOs and CBOs may lead to disputes with the issuer or other investors and/or unexpected investment results. CLOs, CDOs and CBOs are also subject to the risk that distributions from the underlying collateral may be inadequate to make interest or other payments and that the underlying collateral may default or decline in value or quality and may be subject to risks associated with investments in high yield, below-investment grade and unrated securities. The risks associated with these investments depend in part on the types of collateral underlying the CLO, CDO or CBO and the class or tranche in which the Trust invests, with certain classes or tranches being subject to heightened risks.

CLO Subordinated Notes Risk

The Trust may invest in any portion of the capital structure of CLOs (including the subordinated, residual and deep mezzanine debt tranches). The most senior tranches have the lowest yield but the lowest level of risk relative to other tranches, as they are senior in priority to the more junior tranches with respect to payments made by the CLO. Conversely, the most subordinated tranches have the highest potential yield relative to other tranches but also the highest level of risk relative to the other tranches, as they are the lowest in the priority of payments. Thus, losses on underlying assets are borne first by the holders of the most subordinated tranche, followed by the second-most subordinated tranche, and so forth. A CLO may experience substantial losses attributable to loan defaults or sales of underlying assets at a loss (due to a decline in market value of such assets or otherwise). The Trust’s investment in a CLO may decrease in market value because of, among other developments, (i) loan defaults or credit impairment; (ii) losses that exceed the subordinated tranches; (iii) an event of default occurring under a CLO, which could lead to acceleration and/or liquidation of the assets at a loss; (iv) market anticipation of defaults; (v) investor aversion to CLO securities as a class; and (vi) poor performance of the CLO’s manager. These risks may be magnified depending on the tranche of CLO securities in which the Trust invests. For example, investments in a junior tranche of CLO securities will likely be more sensitive to

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁹¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

loan defaults or credit impairment than investments in more senior tranches. Senior tranches are also subject to the risk that junior tranches may disappear, eliminating the protection such junior tranches normally provide more senior tranches. In addition, the subordinated tranche does not receive ratings and is considered the riskiest portion of the capital structure of a CLO. The subordinated tranche is junior in priority of payment to the more senior tranches of the CLO and is subject to certain payment restrictions. As a result, the subordinated tranche bears the bulk of defaults from the loans in the CLO. In addition, the subordinated tranche generally has only limited voting rights and generally does not benefit from any creditors’ rights or ability to exercise remedies under the indenture governing the CLO notes. Certain mezzanine tranches in which the Trust may invest may also be subject to certain risks similar to risks associated with investment in the subordinated tranche.

The subordinated tranche is unsecured and ranks behind all of the secured creditors, known or unknown, of the CLO issuer, including the holders of the secured notes it has issued. Consequently, to the extent that the value of the issuer’s portfolio of loan investments has been reduced as a result of conditions in the credit markets, defaulted loans, capital gains and losses on the underlying assets, prepayment or changes in interest rates, the value of the subordinated tranche realized at redemption could be reduced. If a CLO breaches certain tests set forth in the CLO’s indenture, excess cash flow that would otherwise be available for distribution to the subordinated tranche investors is diverted to prepay CLO debt investors in order of seniority until such time as the covenant breach is cured. If the covenant breach is not or cannot be cured, the subordinated tranche investors (and potentially other investors in lower priority rated tranches) may experience a partial or total loss of their investment. Accordingly, the subordinated tranche may not be paid in full and may be more vulnerable to loss, including up to 100% loss. At the time of issuance, the subordinated tranche of a CLO is typically under-collateralized in that the liabilities of a CLO at inception exceed its total assets.

The leveraged nature of subordinated notes may magnify the adverse impact on the subordinated notes of changes in the market value of the investments held by the issuer, changes in the distributions on those investments, defaults and recoveries on those investments, capital gains and losses on those investments, prepayments on those investments and availability, prices and interest rates of those investments.

Subordinated notes are not guaranteed by another party. There can be no assurance that distributions on the assets held by the CLO will be sufficient to make any distributions or that the yield on the subordinated notes will meet the Trust’s expectations. Investments in the subordinated tranche of a CLO are generally less liquid than CLO debt tranches and subject to extensive transfer restrictions, and there may be no market for subordinated notes. Therefore, the Trust may be required to hold subordinated notes for an indefinite period of time or until their

¹⁹²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

stated maturity. Certain mezzanine tranches in which the Trust may invest may also be subject to certain risks similar to risks associated with investment in the subordinated tranche.

Risks Associated with Risk-Linked Securities

RLS are a form of derivative issued by insurance companies and insurance-related special purpose vehicles that apply securitization techniques to catastrophic property and casualty damages. Unlike other insurable low-severity, high-probability events (such as auto collision coverage), the insurance risk of which can be diversified by writing large numbers of similar policies, the holders of a typical RLS are exposed to the risks from high-severity, low-probability events such as that posed by major earthquakes or hurricanes. RLS represent a method of reinsurance, by which insurance companies transfer their own portfolio risk to other reinsurance companies and, in the case of RLS, to the capital markets. A typical RLS provides for income and return of capital similar to other fixed-income investments, but involves full or partial default (or loss) if losses resulting from a certain catastrophe exceeded a predetermined amount. In essence, investors invest funds in RLS and if a catastrophe occurs that “triggers” the RLS, investors may lose some or all of the capital invested. In the case of an event, the funds are paid to the bond sponsor— an insurer, reinsurer or corporation—to cover losses. In return, the bond sponsors pay interest to investors for this catastrophe protection. RLS can be structured to pay-off on three types of variables—insurance-industry catastrophe loss indices, insure-specific catastrophe losses and parametric indices based on the physical characteristics of catastrophic events. Such variables are difficult to predict or model, and the risk and potential return profiles of RLS may be difficult to assess. No active trading market may exist for certain RLS, which may impair the ability of the Trust to realize full value in the event of the need to liquidate such assets.

Risks Associated with Structured Notes

Investments in structured notes involve risks associated with the issuer of the note and the reference instrument. Where the Trust’s investments in structured notes are based upon the movement of one or more factors, including currency exchange rates, interest rates, referenced bonds and stock indices, depending on the factor used and the use of multipliers or deflators, changes in interest rates and movement of the factor may cause significant price fluctuations. Additionally, changes in the reference instrument or security may cause the interest rate on the structured note to be reduced to zero, and any further changes in the reference instrument may then reduce the principal amount payable on maturity. Structured notes may be less liquid than other types of securities and more volatile than the reference instrument or security underlying the note.

Senior Loans Risk

The Trust may invest in senior secured floating rate loans made to corporations and other nongovernmental entities and issuers (“Senior Loans”). Senior Loans typically hold the most senior position in the capital structure of the issuing entity, are typically secured with specific collateral and typically have a claim on the assets of the borrower, including stock owned by the borrower in its subsidiaries, that is senior to that held by junior lien creditors, subordinated debt holders and stockholders of the borrower. The Trust’s investments in Senior Loans are typically below investment grade and are considered speculative because of the credit risk of the applicable issuer. An investment in Senior Loans involves the risk that the borrowers under Senior Loans may default on their obligations to pay principal and/or interest when due or at all. In the event a borrower fails to pay scheduled interest or principal payments on a Senior Loan held by the Trust, the Trust will experience a reduction in its income and a decline in the market value of the Senior Loan, which will likely reduce dividends and lead to a decline in the Trust’s NAV.

There is less readily-available, reliable information about most Senior Loans than is the case for many other types of securities. In addition, there is rarely a minimum rating or other independent evaluation of a borrower or its securities, and GPIM relies primarily on its own evaluation of a borrower’s credit quality rather than on any available independent sources. As a result, the Trust is particularly dependent on the analytical abilities of GPIM with respect to investments in Senior Loans. GPIM’s judgment about the credit quality of a borrower may be wrong.

The risks associated with Senior Loans of below investment grade quality are similar to the risks of other lower grade Income Securities, although Senior Loans are typically senior in payment priority and secured on a senior priority basis, in contrast to subordinated and unsecured Income Securities. Senior Loans’ higher priority has historically resulted in generally higher recoveries in the event of a corporate reorganization. In addition, because their interest payments are typically adjusted for changes in short-term interest rates, investments in Senior Loans generally have less interest rate risk than certain other lower grade Income Securities, which may have fixed interest rates.

The Trust’s investments in Senior Loans are typically below-investment grade and are considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. Such companies are more likely to default on their payments of interest and principal owed to the Trust, and such defaults could reduce the Trust’s NAV and income distributions. Further, transactions in Senior Loans typically settle on a delayed basis and may take longer than seven days to settle. As a result, the Trust may receive the proceeds from a sale of a Senior Loan on a delayed basis which may affect the Trust’s ability to repay debt, to pay dividends, to pay expenses, or to take advantage of new investment opportunities. An economic downturn generally leads

¹⁹⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

to a higher non-payment rate, and a Senior Loan may lose significant value before a default occurs. Moreover, any specific collateral used to secure a Senior Loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the Senior Loan’s value.

Economic and other events (whether real or perceived) can reduce the demand for certain Senior Loans or Senior Loans generally, which may reduce market prices of the Senior Loans and cause the Trust’s NAV per share to fall or otherwise adversely impact the Trust’s investments in Senior Loans. The frequency and magnitude of such changes cannot be predicted.

Loans and other debt instruments are also subject to the risk of price declines due to increases in prevailing interest rates. Senior Loans may be structured as floating rate instruments in which the interest rate payable on the obligations fluctuates with interest rate changes. As a result, the yield on Senior Loans will generally decline in a falling interest rate environment, causing the Trust to experience a reduction in the income it receives from a Senior Loan. Interest rate changes may also increase prepayments of debt obligations and require the Trust to invest assets at lower yields, particularly during periods of declining rates. During periods of deteriorating economic conditions, such as recessions or periods of rising unemployment, or changing interest rates (notably increases), delinquencies and losses generally increase, sometimes dramatically, with respect to obligations under such loans. An economic downturn or individual corporate developments could adversely affect the market for these instruments and reduce the Trust’s ability to sell these instruments at an advantageous time or price. An economic downturn would generally lead to a higher non-payment rate and, a Senior Loan may lose significant market value before a default occurs.

No active trading market may exist for certain Senior Loans, which may impair the ability of the Trust to realize full value in the event of the need to liquidate such assets and normally make it more difficult to value Senior Loans (particularly those that are illiquid). Adverse market conditions may impair the liquidity of some actively traded Senior Loans, meaning that the Trust may not be able to sell them quickly at a desirable price. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain Senior Loans, the market may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods.

Although the Senior Loans in which the Trust will invest generally will be secured by specific collateral, there can be no assurance that liquidation of such collateral would satisfy the borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal (or at all) or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, the Trust could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a Senior Loan. If the terms of a Senior Loan do not require the borrower to pledge

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁹⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

additional collateral in the event of a decline in the value of the already pledged collateral, the Trust will be exposed to the risk that the value of the collateral will not at all times equal or exceed the amount of the borrower’s obligations under the Senior Loans. To the extent that a Senior Loan is collateralized by stock in the borrower or its subsidiaries, such stock may lose all of its value in the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower. Such Senior Loans involve a greater risk of loss or illiquidity. Some Senior Loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate or otherwise adversely affect the priority of the Senior Loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the borrower or could take other action detrimental to lenders, including the Trust. Such court action could under certain circumstances include invalidation of Senior Loans.

Senior Loans are subject to legislative risk. If legislation or state or federal regulations impose additional requirements or restrictions on the ability of financial institutions to make loans, the availability of Senior Loans for investment by the Trust may be adversely affected. In addition, such requirements or restrictions could reduce or eliminate sources of financing for certain borrowers. This could increase the risk of default. If legislation or federal or state regulations require financial institutions to increase their capital requirements in order to make or hold certain debt investments, this may cause financial institutions to dispose of Senior Loans that are considered highly levered transactions. Such sales could result in prices that, in the opinion of the Adviser, do not represent fair value. If the Trust attempts to sell a Senior Loan at a time when a financial institution is engaging in such a sale, the price the Trust could receive for the Senior Loan may be adversely affected.

The Trust’s investments in Senior Loans may be subject to lender liability risk. Lender liability refers to a variety of legal theories generally founded on the premise that a lender has violated a duty of good faith, commercial reasonableness and fair dealing or a similar duty owed to the borrower or has assumed an excessive degree of control over the borrower resulting in the creation of a fiduciary duty owed to the borrower or its other creditors or shareholders. Because of the nature of its investments, the Trust may be subject to allegations of lender liability. In addition, under common law principles that in some cases form the basis for lender liability claims, a court may elect to subordinate the claim of an offending lender or bondholder (or group of offending lenders or bondholders) to the claims of a disadvantaged creditor (or group of creditors).

Senior Loans are subject to legislation and regulation risk, including the risk that regulations impose additional requirements or restrictions on the ability of financial institutions to make loans, which could adversely affect the availability of Senior Loans for investment by the Trust. Future legislation or regulations could decrease or eliminate sources of funding for certain borrowers and impose requirements on

¹⁹⁶^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

financial institutions, including with respect to capital requirements, which could increase default, liquidity and other risks to which the Trust is already subject. Economic exposure to Senior Loans through the use of derivatives transactions may involve greater risks than if the Trust had invested in the Senior Loan interest directly during a primary distribution or through assignments or participations in a loan acquired in secondary markets since, in addition to the risks described above, derivatives transactions to gain exposure to Senior Loans may be subject to leverage risk and greater illiquidity risk, counterparty risk, valuation risk and other risks associated with derivatives discussed herein.

Second Lien Loans Risk

The Trust may invest in “second lien” secured floating rate loans made by public and private corporations and other non-governmental entities and issuers for a variety of purposes (“Second Lien Loans”). Second Lien Loans are typically second in right of payment and/or second in right of priority with respect to collateral remedies to one or more Senior Loans of the related borrower. Second Lien Loans are subject to the same risks associated with investment in Senior Loans and other lower grade Income Securities. However, Second Lien Loans are second in right of payment and/or second in right of priority with respect to collateral remedies to Senior Loans and therefore are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and/or the value of any property securing the loan may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments or otherwise be available to repay the loan after giving effect to payments in respect of a Senior Loan, including payments made with the proceeds of any property securing the loan and any senior secured obligations of the borrower. Second Lien Loans are expected to have greater price volatility and exposure to losses upon default than Senior Loans and may be less liquid. There is also a possibility that originators will not be able to sell participations in Second Lien Loans, which would create greater credit risk exposure.

Subordinated Secured Loans Risk

Subordinated secured loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investment in Senior Loans, Second Lien Loans and below- investment grade securities. However, such loans may rank lower in right of payment than any outstanding Senior Loans, Second Lien Loans or other debt instruments with higher priority of the borrower and therefore are subject to additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and any property securing the loan may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments and repayment of principal in the event of default or bankruptcy after giving effect to the higher ranking secured obligations of the borrower. Subordinated secured loans are expected to have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and Second Lien Loans and may be less liquid.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁹⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Unsecured Loans Risk

Unsecured loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investment in Senior Loans, Second Lien Loans, subordinated secured loans and below-investment grade securities. However, because unsecured loans have lower priority in right of payment to any higher ranking obligations of the borrower and are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral, they are subject to additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and available assets may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments and repayment of principal after giving effect to any higher ranking obligations of the borrower. Unsecured loans are expected to have greater price volatility than Senior Loans, Second Lien Loans and subordinated secured loans and may be less liquid.

Loans and Loan Participations and Assignments Risk

The Trust may invest in loans directly or through participations or assignments. The Trust may purchase loans on a direct assignment basis from a participant in the original syndicate of lenders or from subsequent assignees of such interests. The Trust may also purchase, without limitation, participations in loans. The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, the purchaser’s rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution, and, in any event, the Trust may not be able to unilaterally enforce all rights and remedies under the loan and with regard to any associated collateral. The Trust’s interest in a particular loan and/or in particular collateral securing a loan may be subordinate to the interests of other creditors of the obligor, which leads to the risk of subordination to other creditors. A participation typically results in a contractual relationship only with the institution participating out the interest, not with the borrower. In purchasing participations, the Trust generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement against the borrower, and the Trust may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Trust will be exposed to the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation. Further, in purchasing participations in lending syndicates, the Trust may not be able to conduct the same due diligence on the borrower with respect to a Senior Loan that the Trust would otherwise conduct. In addition, as a holder of the participations, the Trust may not have voting rights or inspection rights that the Trust would otherwise have if it were investing directly in the Senior Loan, which may result in the Trust being exposed to greater credit or fraud risk with respect to the borrower or the Senior Loan. Lenders selling a participation and other persons inter-positioned between the lender and the Trust with respect to a participation will likely conduct their principal business activities in the banking, finance and financial services industries. Because the Trust may

¹⁹⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

invest in participations, the Trust may be more susceptible to economic, political or regulatory occurrences affecting such industries.

Should a loan in which the Trust is invested be foreclosed on, the Trust may become owner of the collateral and will be responsible for any costs and liabilities associated with owning the collateral. If the collateral includes a pledge of equity interests in the borrower by its owners, the Trust may become the owner of equity in the borrower and may be responsible for the borrower’s business operations and/ or assets. The applicability of the securities laws is subject to court interpretation of the nature of the loan and its characterization as a security. Accordingly, the Trust cannot be certain of any protections it may be afforded under the securities or other laws against fraud or misrepresentation.

Loans are especially vulnerable to the financial health, or perceived financial health, of the borrower but are also particularly susceptible to economic and market sentiment such that changes in these conditions or the occurrence of other economic or market events may reduce the demand for loans, increase the risks associated with such investments and cause their value to decline rapidly and unpredictably. Many loans and loan interests are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on transfer, resale or assignment that may limit the ability of the Trust to sell its interest in a loan at an advantageous time or price. The resale, or secondary, market for loans is currently growing, but may become more limited or more difficult to access, and such changes may be sudden and unpredictable. Transactions in loans are often subject to long settlement periods (in excess of the standard T+1 days settlement cycle for most securities and often longer than seven days). As a result, sale proceeds potentially will not be available to the Trust to make additional investments or to use proceeds to meet its current obligations. The Trust thus is subject to the risk of selling other investments at disadvantageous times or prices or taking other actions necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations such as borrowing from a bank or holding additional cash, particularly during periods of unusual market or economic conditions or financial stress. Investments in loans can also be difficult to value accurately because of, among other factors, limited public information regarding the loan or the borrowers. Risks associated with investments in loans are increased if the loans are secured by a single asset. Loans may offer a fixed rate or floating rate of interest. Loans may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much or as fast as interest rates in general. For example, the interest rates on floating rate loans typically adjust only periodically and therefore the interest rate payable under such loans may significantly trail market interest rates. The potential for the value of a floating rate loan or security to increase in response to interest rate declines is limited. Changes in the interest rates on floating rate loans could result in lower income to the Trust. In addition, the secondary market on which floating rate loans are traded may be less liquid than the market for investment grade securities or other types of income-producing securities, which

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l¹⁹⁹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

may have an adverse impact on their market price. There is also a potential that there is no active market to trade floating rate loans, that there may be restrictions on their transfer, or that the issuer may default. As a result, the Trust may be unable to sell floating rate obligations at the desired time or may be able to sell only at a price less than fair market value. In addition, if movements in interest rates are incorrectly anticipated, the Trust could lose money, or its net asset value may be negatively impacted.

The Trust invests in or is exposed to loans and other similar debt obligations that are sometimes referred to as “covenant-lite” loans or obligations (“covenant-lite obligations”), which are loans or other similar debt obligations that lack financial maintenance covenants or possess fewer or contingent financial maintenance covenants and other financial protections for lenders and investors. Exposure may also be obtained to covenant-lite obligations through investment in securitization vehicles and other structured products. Many new, restructured or reissued loans and similar debt obligations may not feature traditional financial maintenance covenants, which are intended to protect lenders and investors by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant-lite obligations may carry more risk than traditional loans as they allow borrowers to engage in activities that would otherwise be difficult or impossible under an agreement that is not covenant-lite. The Trust may have fewer rights with respect to covenant-lite obligations, including fewer protections against the possibility of default and fewer remedies in the event of default as the lender may not have the opportunity to negotiate with the borrower prior to default. As a result, investments in (or exposure to) covenant-lite obligations are subject to more risk than investments in (or exposure to) certain other types of obligations. In the event of default, covenant-lite obligations may exhibit diminished recovery values as the lender may not have the opportunity to negotiate with the borrower prior to default. The Trust may have a greater risk of loss on investments (or exposure to) in covenant-lite obligations as compared to investments (or exposure to) in traditional loans. In addition, the Trust may receive less or less frequent financial reporting from a borrower under a covenant-lite obligation, which may result in more limited access to financial information, difficulty evaluating the borrower’s financial performance over time and delays in exercising rights and remedies in the event of a significant financial decline. As a result, investments in or exposure to covenant-lite obligations are generally subject to more risk thank investments that contain traditional financial maintenance covenants and financial reporting requirements.

In certain circumstances, the Adviser or its affiliates (including on behalf of clients other than the Trust) or the Trust may be in possession of material non- public information about a borrower as a result of its ownership of a loan and/or corporate debt security of a borrower. Because U.S. laws and regulations generally

²⁰⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

prohibit trading in securities of issuers while in possession of material, non-public information, the Trust might be unable (potentially for a substantial period of time) to trade securities or other instruments issued by the borrower when it would otherwise be advantageous to do so and, as such, could incur a loss. In circumstances when the Adviser, GPIM or the Trust determines to avoid or to not receive non-public information about a borrower for loan investments being considered for acquisition by the Trust or held by the Trust, the Trust may be disadvantaged relative to other investors that do receive such information, and the Trust may not be able to take advantage of other investment opportunities that it may otherwise have. The Adviser or its affiliates may participate in the primary and secondary market for loans or other transactions with possible borrowers. As a result, the Trust may be legally restricted from acquiring some loans and from participating in a restructuring of a loan or other similar instrument. Further, if the Trust, in combination with other accounts managed by the Adviser or its affiliates, acquires a large portion of a loan, the Trust’s valuation of its interests in the loan and the Trust’s ability to dispose of the loan at favorable times or prices may be adversely affected.

The Trust is subject to other risks associated with investments in (or exposure to) loans and other similar obligations, including that such loans or obligations may not be considered “securities” under federal securities laws and, as a result, the Trust may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections under the federal securities laws and instead may have to resort to state law and direct claims.

Mezzanine Investments Risk

The Trust may invest in certain lower grade securities known as “Mezzanine Investments,” which are subordinated debt securities that are generally issued in private placements in connection with an equity security (e.g., with attached warrants) or may be convertible into equity securities. Mezzanine Investments are subject to the same risks associated with investment in Senior Loans, Second Lien Loans and other lower grade Income Securities. However, Mezzanine Investments may rank lower in right of payment than any outstanding Senior Loans and Second Lien Loans of the borrower, or may be unsecured (i.e., not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral), and are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and available assets may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to any higher-ranking obligations of the borrower. Mezzanine Investments are expected to have greater price volatility and exposure to losses upon default than Senior Loans and Second Lien Loans and may be less liquid.

Unfunded Commitments Risk

Certain of the loan participations or assignments acquired by the Trust may involve unfunded commitments of the lenders, revolving credit facilities, delayed draw credit facilities or other investments under which a borrower may from time to time borrow

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²⁰¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

and repay amounts up to the maximum amount of the facility. In such cases, the Trust would have an obligation to advance its portion of such additional borrowings upon the terms specified in the loan documentation. Such an obligation may have the effect of requiring the Trust to increase its investment in a company at a time when it might not be desirable to do so (including at a time when the company’s financial condition makes it unlikely that such amounts will be repaid). These commitments are generally subject to the borrowers meeting certain criteria such as compliance with covenants and certain operational metrics. The terms of the borrowings and financings subject to commitment are comparable to the terms of other loans and related investments in the Trust’s portfolio.

Distressed and Defaulted Securities Risk

Investments in the securities of financially distressed issuers involve substantial risks. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment. The Trust may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, the Trust may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash or securities with a value less than its original investment. Among the risks inherent in investments in a troubled entity is the fact that it frequently may be difficult to obtain information as to the true financial condition of such issuer. GPIM’s judgment about the credit quality of the issuer and the relative value and liquidity of its securities may prove to be wrong.

Preferred Securities Risk

There are special risks associated with investing in preferred securities, such as:

Limited voting rights. Generally, preferred security holders have no voting rights with respect to the issuing company unless preferred dividends have been in arrears for a specified number of periods, at which time the preferred security holders may elect a number of directors to the issuer’s board. Generally, once all the arrearages have been paid, the preferred security holders no longer have voting rights. In the case of certain preferred securities issued by trusts or special purpose entities, holders generally have no voting rights except if a declaration of default occurs and is continuing. In such an event, preferred security holders generally would have the right to appoint and authorize a trustee to enforce the trust’s or special purpose entity’s rights as a creditor under the agreement with its operating company.

Special redemption rights. In certain circumstances, an issuer of preferred securities may redeem the securities prior to their stated maturity date. For instance, for certain types of preferred securities, a redemption may be triggered by a change in federal income tax or securities laws or by regulatory or major corporate action. As with call provisions, a redemption by the issuer may negatively impact the return of

²⁰²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

the security held by the Trust. See also “Principal Risks of the Trust—Reinvestment Risk.”

Payment deferral. Generally, preferred securities may be subject to provisions that allow an issuer, under certain conditions, to skip (“non-cumulative” preferred securities) or defer (“cumulative” preferred securities) distributions without any adverse consequences to the issuer. Non-cumulative preferred securities can skip distributions indefinitely. If the Trust owns a preferred security that is deferring its distribution, the Trust may be required to report income for tax purposes although it has not yet received such income. In addition, recent changes in bank regulations may increase the likelihood of issuers deferring or skipping distributions.

Subordination. Preferred securities generally are subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure and therefore are subject to greater credit risk than those debt instruments.

Floating Rate Payments. The dividend or interest rates on preferred securities may be floating or convert from fixed to floating at a specified future time. The market value of floating rate securities may fall in a declining interest rate environment and may also fall in a rising interest rate environment if there is a lag between the rise in interest rates and the reset. This risk may also be present with respect to fixed rate securities that will convert to a floating rate at a future time. A secondary risk associated with declining interest rates is the risk that income earned by the Trust on floating rate securities may decline due to lower coupon payments on the floating rate securities.

Fixed Rate Payments. The market value of preferred securities with fixed dividends or interest rates may decline in a rising interest rate environment.

Liquidity. Preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as U.S. government securities or common stock. Less liquid securities involve the risk that the securities will not be able to be sold at the time desired by the Trust or at prices approximating the values at which the Trust is carrying the securities on its books.

Tax risk. The Trust may invest in preferred securities or other securities the federal income tax treatment of which may not be clear or may be subject to recharacterization by the Internal Revenue Service. It could be more difficult for the Trust to comply with the tax requirements applicable to regulated investment companies if the tax characterization of the Trust’s investments or the tax treatment of the income from such investments were successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service.

Regulatory risk. Issuers of preferred securities may be in industries that are heavily regulated and that may receive government funding. The value of preferred

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²⁰³


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

securities issued by these companies may be affected by changes in government policy, such as increased regulation, ownership restrictions, deregulation or reduced government funding.

Convertible Securities Risk

Convertible securities, debt or preferred equity securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, equity securities, are generally preferred stocks and other securities, including fixed-income securities and warrants that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock. Convertible securities generally participate in the appreciation or depreciation of the underlying stock into which they are convertible, but to a lesser degree and are subject to the risks associated with debt and equity securities, including interest rate, market and issuer risks. For example, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. Certain convertible securities may combine higher or lower current income with options and other features. Warrants are options to buy a stated number of shares of common stock at a specified price anytime during the life of the warrants (generally, two or more years). Convertible securities may be lower-rated securities subject to greater levels of credit risk. A convertible security may be converted before it would otherwise be most appropriate, which may have an adverse effect on the Trust’s ability to achieve its investment objectives.

“Synthetic” convertible securities have economic characteristics similar to those of a traditional convertible security due to the combination of separate securities that possess the two principal characteristics of a traditional convertible security, i.e., an income-producing security (“income-producing component”) and the right to acquire an equity security (“convertible component”). The income-producing component is achieved by investing in non-convertible, income-producing securities such as bonds, preferred stocks and money market instruments, which may be represented by derivative instruments.

The convertible component is achieved by investing in securities or instruments such as warrants or options to buy common stock at a certain exercise price, or options on a stock index. A simple example of a synthetic convertible security is the combination of a traditional corporate bond with a warrant to purchase equity securities of the issuer of the bond. The income-producing and convertible components of a synthetic convertible security may be issued separately by different issuers and at different times.

Private Credit Assets Risk

The Trust’s investments in debt, loans and other similar obligations (such as ABS and CLOs) may include investments in private credit assets. Private credit assets generally are debt, loans and other similar obligations (such as asset-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations) that are originated or negotiated by

²⁰⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

non-bank lenders in private markets or debt investments made through otherwise privately negotiated transactions. Private credit assets may be structured using a range of financial instruments, such as bonds, senior secured loans, unsecured loans and subordinated instruments, among other instruments. Private credit assets can range in credit quality depending on a variety of factors, including the issuer’s total leverage, amount of leverage senior to the security in question, variability in the issuer’s cash flows, the size of the issuer, the quality of assets (if any) securing debt and the degree to which such assets cover the subject company’s debt obligations. Private credit assets are subject to similar risks as debt, loans and other similar obligations (such as asset-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations), including, but not limited to, credit risk, interest rate risk, high yield and unrated securities risk, liquidity and valuation risk and restricted securities risk. However, these risks are heightened with respect to private credit assets and such investments are particularly subject to significant reductions in value and income.

Investments in issuers of private credit assets are subject to risks that are often increased compared to investments in large, public companies, including those associated with: (i) limited financial resources and limited access to additional financing; (ii) shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses; (iii) limited available financial or other information about these issuers and that the available information is of decreased quality of information; and (iv) increased dependency on the management by a small group of persons. Moreover, issuers of private credit assets are often leveraged (for example, as a result of leveraged buyouts or other recapitalization transactions), including significantly, and often will be lower rated or not be rated by national credit rating agencies. As a result of the foregoing and other risks, issuers of private credit assets are generally more likely to experience difficulties in meeting their financial obligations and are subject to increased risks associated with defaulting on their obligations (leaving creditors dependent on any guarantees or collateral (if any) they have obtained) and greater vulnerabilities to competitors’ actions and market conditions (such as declining revenues and competitive pressures), as well as adverse economic developments, including general economic downturns and increasing interest rates. As a result, these investments expose the Trust to a higher risk of credit deterioration and financial distress or default by the issuer. In addition, the Trust may face uncertain, complex and costly proceedings to seek to enforce its rights in the event of default.

Typically, private credit assets are restricted and less liquid or illiquid investments that can be subject to various restrictions on resale and are not traded in public markets. These investments are often subject to substantial holding periods and, as a result, the Trust may be unable to resell such holdings for extended periods. Moreover, the Trust may be unable to sell these investments at a favorable or preferred time or price. This presents additional risks for such investments,

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²⁰⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

including, but not limited to, with respect to fair valuation of these investments, which rarely have readily available market quotations.

Liquidity Risk

The Trust may invest in municipal securities and other investments that are, at the time of investment, or become illiquid. Illiquid securities are securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the value that the Trust values the securities. Illiquid securities may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid securities and may be subject to wide fluctuations in market value. The Trust may be subject to significant delays in disposing of illiquid securities. Accordingly, the Trust may be forced to sell these securities at less than fair market value or may not be able to sell them when the Adviser believes it is desirable to do so. Illiquid securities also may entail registration expenses and other transaction costs that are higher than those for liquid securities. Restricted securities (i.e., securities subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale) may be illiquid. However, some restricted securities (such as securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and certain commercial paper) may be treated as liquid for these purposes. Inverse floating-rate securities or the residual interest certificates of tender option bond trusts are not considered illiquid securities. Dislocations in certain parts of markets have in the past and may in the future result in reduced liquidity for certain investments. Liquidity of financial markets may also be affected by government intervention.

Volatility Risk

The use of Financial Leverage by the Trust will cause the net asset value, and possibly the market price, of the Common Shares to fluctuate significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other economic indicators. In addition, the Trust may invest up to 20% of its managed assets in below-investment grade securities (i.e., “junk bonds”), which may be less liquid and therefore more volatile than investment grade municipal securities. As a result, the net asset value and market price of the Common Shares will be more volatile than those of a closed- end investment company that is not exposed to leverage or that does not invest in below-investment grade securities. In a declining market, the use of leverage may result in a greater decline in the net asset value of the Common Shares than if the Trust were not leveraged.

Inverse Floating-Rate Securities Risk

Under current market conditions, the Trust anticipates utilizing Financial Leverage through Indebtedness and/or engaging in reverse repurchase agreements. However, the Trust also may utilize Financial Leverage through investments in inverse floating-rate securities (sometimes referred to as “inverse floaters”). Typically, inverse floating-rate securities represent beneficial interests in a special

²⁰⁶^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

purpose trust (sometimes called a “tender option bond trust”) formed by a third- party sponsor for the purpose of holding municipal bonds. Distributions on inverse floating-rate securities bear an inverse relationship to short-term municipal bond interest rates. In general, income on inverse floating-rate securities will decrease, or in the extreme be eliminated, when interest rates increase and, conversely, increase when interest rates decrease. Investments in inverse floating-rate securities may subject the Trust to the risks of reduced or eliminated interest payments and losses of principal. Inverse floating-rate securities may increase or decrease in value at a greater rate than the underlying interest rate, which effectively leverages the Trust’s investment. As a result, the market value of such securities generally will be more volatile than that of fixed-rate securities. Inverse floating-rate securities have varying degrees of liquidity based, among other things, upon the liquidity of the underlying securities deposited in a special purpose trust. The Trust may invest in taxable inverse floating-rate securities, issued by special purpose trusts formed with taxable municipal securities. The market for such inverse floating-rate securities issued by special purpose trusts formed with taxable municipal securities may be limited and there may be a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the credit risks, counterparty risk and liquidity risk of investing in taxable inverse floating-rate securities. The leverage attributable to such inverse floating-rate securities may be “called away” on relatively short notice and therefore may be less permanent than more traditional forms of Financial Leverage. In certain circumstances, to the extent the Trust relies on inverse floating-rate securities to achieve its desired effective leverage ratio the likelihood of an increase in the volatility of net asset value and market price of the Common Shares may be greater. The Trust may be required to sell its inverse floating-rate securities at less than favorable prices, or liquidate other portfolio holdings in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) if the Trust has a need for cash and the securities in a special purpose trust are not actively trading due to adverse market conditions; (ii) if special purpose trust sponsors (as a collective group or individually) experience financial hardship and consequently seek to terminate their respective outstanding special purpose trusts; and (iii) if the value of an underlying security declines significantly and if additional collateral has not been posted by the Trust.

Sovereign Debt Risk

Investments in sovereign debt securities, such as foreign government debt or foreign treasury bills, involve special risks in addition to those associated with debt investments and foreign investment, including the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a whole, the government debtor’s policy towards the International Monetary Fund or international lenders, the political constraints to which the debtor may be subject and other political, social and other local, regional and global considerations. Periods of economic and political uncertainty may result

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²⁰⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

in the illiquidity and increased price volatility of sovereign debt securities held by the Trust. The governmental authority that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may be unwilling or unable to repay the principal and/or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such securities due to various factors, such as the extent of its foreign reserves, the size of the debt burden relative to economic output and tax revenues, cash flow difficulties and other political and social considerations. If an issuer of sovereign debt defaults on payments of principal and/or interest, the Trust may have limited or no legal recourse against the issuer and/or guarantor. In certain cases, remedies must be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party itself. For example, there may be no bankruptcy or similar proceedings through which all or part of the sovereign debt that a governmental entity has not repaid may be collected. There can be no assurance that the holders of commercial bank loans to the same sovereign entity may not contest payments to the holders of sovereign debt in the event of default under commercial bank loan agreements.

Certain issuers of sovereign debt may be dependent on disbursements from foreign governments, multilateral agencies and others abroad to reduce principal and interest arrearages on their debt. Such disbursements may be conditioned upon a debtor’s implementation of economic reforms and/ or economic performance and the timely service of such debtor’s obligations. A failure on the part of the debtor to implement such reforms, achieve such levels of economic performance or repay principal or interest when due may result in the cancellation of such third parties’ commitments to lend funds to the debtor, which may impair the debtor’s ability to service its debts on a timely basis. Foreign investment in certain sovereign debt is restricted or controlled to varying degrees, including requiring governmental approval for the repatriation of income, capital or proceeds of sales by foreign investors. These restrictions or controls may at times limit or preclude foreign investment in certain sovereign debt and increase the costs and expenses of the Trust.

As a holder of sovereign debt, the Trust may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such sovereign indebtedness, including the rescheduling of payments and the extension of further loans to debtors, which may adversely affect the Trust. There can be no assurance that such restructuring will result in the repayment of all or part of the debt. Sovereign debt risk is greater for issuers in emerging markets than issuers in developed countries and certain emerging market countries have at times declared moratoria on the payment of principal and interest on external debt. Certain emerging market countries have at times experienced difficulty in servicing their sovereign debt on a timely basis, which has led to defaults and the restructuring of certain indebtedness.

The Trust may also invest in securities or other obligations issued or backed by supranational organizations, which are international organizations that are

²⁰⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

designated or supported by government entities or banking institutions typically to promote economic reconstruction or development. These obligations are subject to the risk that the government(s) on whose support the organization depends may be unable or unwilling to provide the necessary support. With respect to both sovereign and supranational obligations, the Trust may have little recourse against the foreign government or supranational organization that issues or backs the obligation in the event of default. These obligations may be denominated in foreign currencies and the prices of these obligations may be more volatile than corporate debt obligations.

Strategic Transactions Risk

The Trust may engage in various portfolio strategies, including derivatives transactions involving interest rate and foreign currency transactions, swaps, options and futures, for hedging and risk management purposes and to enhance total return. The use of Strategic Transactions to enhance total return may be particularly speculative. Strategic Transactions involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and the underlying assets, the possible default of the other party to the transaction and the risks generally associated with derivatives, including the illiquidity of the derivative instruments. Furthermore, the Trust’s ability to successfully use Strategic Transactions depends on the Adviser’s ability to predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of Strategic Transactions may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Trust to sell or purchase portfolio securities at inopportune times or for prices other than current market values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Trust can realize on an investment or may cause the Trust to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. Additionally, amounts paid by the Trust as premiums and cash or other assets held in margin accounts with respect to Strategic Transactions are not otherwise available to the Trust for investment purposes. The Trust will only purchase or sell futures contracts or related options in compliance with the rules of the CFTC. Transactions in financial futures and options on futures involve certain costs. There can be no assurance that the Trust’s use of futures contracts will be advantageous. Financial covenants related to future Trust borrowings may limit use of these transactions.

The CFTC and various exchanges have rules limiting the maximum net long or short positions which any person or group may own, hold or control in any given futures contract or option on such futures contract. In addition, the CFTC has position limits rules that establish position limits for 25 specified physical commodity futures and related options contracts traded on exchanges, other futures contracts and related options directly or indirectly linked to such contracts, and any OTC transactions that are economically equivalent.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²⁰⁹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Synthetic Investments Risk

The Trust may be exposed to certain additional risks to the extent the Adviser uses derivatives as a means to synthetically implement the Trust’s investment strategies. If the Trust enters into a derivative instrument whereby it agrees to receive the return of a security or financial instrument or a basket of securities or financial instruments, it will typically contract to receive such returns for a predetermined period of time. During such period, the Trust may not have the ability to increase or decrease its exposure. In addition, such customized derivative instruments will likely be highly illiquid, and it is possible that the Trust will not be able to terminate such derivative instruments prior to their expiration date or that the penalties associated with such a termination might impact the Trust’s performance in a material adverse manner. Furthermore, certain derivative instruments contain provisions giving the counterparty the right to terminate the contract upon the occurrence of certain events. Such events may include a decline in the value of the Trust and material violations of the terms of the contract or the portfolio guidelines as well as other events negotiated between the parties. If a termination were to occur, the Trust’s return could be adversely affected as it would lose the benefit of the indirect exposure to the reference securities and it may incur significant termination expenses.

In the event the Trust seeks to obtain investment exposure to Investment Funds (including private investment funds) through the use of such synthetic derivative instruments, the Trust will not acquire any voting interests or other shareholder rights that would be acquired with a direct investment in the underlying Investment Fund. Accordingly, the Trust will not participate in matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. In addition, the Trust may not receive all of the information and reports to shareholders that the Trust would receive with a direct investment in such Investment Fund.

Further, the Trust will pay the counterparty to any such customized derivative instrument structuring fees and ongoing transaction fees, which will reduce the investment performance of the Trust. Finally, certain tax aspects of such customized derivative instruments are uncertain and a Common Shareholder’s return could be adversely affected by an adverse tax ruling.

Counterparty Risk

Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to Trust transactions (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangement or derivatives transaction) will be unable or unwilling to perform its contractual obligation to the Trust. The Trust will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative contracts purchased by the Trust. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under a derivative contract, the Trust may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract in

²¹⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

bankruptcy or other reorganization proceedings. The Trust may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. If a counterparty’s credit becomes significantly impaired, multiple requests for collateral posting in a short period of time could increase the risk that the Trust may not receive adequate collateral. Such risk is heightened in market environments where interest rates are changing, notably when rates are rising. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having concentrated exposure to such counterparty.

The Trust bears the risk that counterparties may be adversely affected by legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions, increased competition, and/ or wide scale credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of the counterparties’ other trading partners or borrowers.

Securities Lending Risk

The Trust may lend its portfolio securities to banks or dealers which meet the Trust’s creditworthiness standards. Securities lending is subject to the risk that loaned securities may not be available to the Trust on a timely basis and the Trust may therefore lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. Any loss in the market price of securities loaned by the Trust that occurs during the term of the loan would be borne by the Trust and would adversely affect the Trust’s performance. Also, there may be delays in recovery, or no recovery, of securities loaned or even a loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially while the loan is outstanding.

Private Securities Risk.

The Trust may invest directly or indirectly in privately issued Income Securities of both public and private companies. Private Securities have additional risk considerations relative to investments in comparable public investments and are subject to a greater degree of investment risk. Whenever the Trust invests in companies that do not publicly report financial and other material information, it assumes a greater degree of investment risk and reliance upon GPIM’s ability to obtain and evaluate applicable information concerning such companies’ creditworthiness and other investment considerations, which information cannot be independently verified. The Trust also depends on the expertise, skills and network of business contacts of GPIM to evaluate, negotiate, structure, execute and monitor the Private Securities. Private Securities are often subject to strict restrictions on resale, and there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchaser for such securities and such securities are often illiquid.

Because there is often no readily available trading market for Private Securities, the Trust will not be able to readily dispose of such investments at prices that approximate those at which the Trust could sell them if they were more widely traded and may be subject to higher transaction costs. Subscriptions to purchase

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²¹¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

Private Securities are typically subject to restrictions or delays. Private Securities are also more difficult to value. Valuation will require more research, and elements of judgment will play a greater role in the valuation of Private Securities as compared to public securities because there is less reliable objective data available.

Private Securities that are debt securities generally are of below-investment grade quality, frequently are unrated and present many of the same risks as investing in below-investment grade public debt securities. Investing in private debt instruments is a highly specialized investment practice that depends more heavily on independent credit analysis than investments in other types of obligations.

Risks Associated with Private Company Investments.

Private companies are generally not subject to SEC reporting requirements, are not required to maintain their accounting records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are not required to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, GPIM may not have timely or accurate information about the business, financial condition and results of operations of the private companies in which the Trust invests. There is risk that the Trust will invest on the basis of incomplete or inaccurate information, which will adversely affect the Trust’s investment performance. Some private companies in which the Trust may invest may have limited financial resources, shorter operating histories, more asset concentration risk, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render such private companies more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns. In addition, the management of private companies may depend on one or two key individuals, and the loss of the services of any such individual may adversely affect the performance of the private company.

These companies generally have less predictable operating results, may from time to time be parties to litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, and may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position. These companies may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs, which may limit their ability to grow or to repay their outstanding indebtedness upon maturity. In addition, the Trust’s investment also may be structured as pay-in-kind securities with minimal or no cash interest or dividends until the company meets certain growth and liquidity objectives.

Typically, investments in private companies are in restricted securities that are not traded in public markets and subject to substantial holding periods, so that the Trust may not be able to resell some of its holdings for extended periods, which may be several years. There can be no assurance that the Trust will be able to realize the

²¹²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

value of private company investments in a timely manner, and these investments are subject to heightened valuation risks.

Investment Funds Risk

As an alternative to holding investments directly, the Trust may also obtain investment exposure to securities in which it may invest directly by investing up to 20% of its Managed Assets in Investment Funds. These investments include open-end funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies as well as other pooled investment vehicles. Investment Funds may include those advised by the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and/or their affiliates. Investments in Investment Funds present certain special considerations and risks not present in making direct investments in securities in which the Trust may invest. Investments in Investment Funds subject the Trust to the risks affecting such Investment Funds and involve operating expenses and fees that are in addition to the expenses and fees borne by the Trust. Such expenses and fees attributable to the Trust’s investment in another Investment Fund are borne indirectly by Common Shareholders. Accordingly, investment in such entities involves expenses and fees at both levels. Fees and expenses borne by other Investment Funds in which the Trust invests may be similar to the fees and expenses borne by the Trust and can include asset-based management fees and administrative fees payable to such entities’ advisers and managers, as well as other expenses borne by such entities, thus resulting in fees and expenses at both levels. To the extent management fees of Investment Funds are based on total gross assets, it may create an incentive for such entities’ managers to employ Financial Leverage, thereby adding additional expense and increasing volatility and risk (including the Trust’s overall exposure to leverage risk). Fees payable to advisers and managers of Investment Funds may include performance-based incentive fees calculated as a percentage of profits. Such incentive fees directly reduce the return that otherwise would have been earned by investors over the applicable period. A performance-based fee arrangement may create incentives for an adviser or manager to take greater investment risks in the hope of earning a higher profit participation. Investments in Investment Funds frequently expose the Trust to an additional layer of Financial Leverage and, thus, increase the Trust’s exposure to leverage risk and costs. From time to time, the Trust may invest a significant portion of its assets in Investment Funds that employ leverage. The use of leverage by Investment Funds may cause the Investments Funds’ market price of common shares and/or NAV to be more volatile and can magnify the effect of any losses. From time to time, the Trust may invest a significant portion of its assets in Investment Funds that employ leverage.

Investments in Investment Funds expose the Trust to additional management risk. The success of the Trust’s investments in Investment Funds will depend in large part on the investment skills and implementation abilities of the advisers or managers of such entities. Decisions made by the advisers or managers of such

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²¹³


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

entities may cause the Trust to incur losses or to miss profit opportunities. While GPIM will seek to evaluate managers of Investment Funds and where possible independently evaluate the underlying assets, a substantial degree of reliance on such entities’ managers is nevertheless present with such investments.

The Trust may invest in Investment Funds in excess of statutory limits imposed by the 1940 Act in reliance on Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act. These investments would be subject to the applicable conditions of Rule 12d1-4, which in part could affect or otherwise impose certain limits on the investments and operations of the underlying Investment Fund (notably such fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies and private funds, which include certain structured finance vehicles).

If the Trust invests in Investment Funds, the Trust’s realized losses on sales of shares of an underlying Investment Fund may be indefinitely or permanently deferred as “wash sales.” Distributions of short-term capital gains by an underlying Investment Fund will be recognized as ordinary income by the Trust and would not be offset by the Trust’s capital loss carryforwards, if any. Capital loss carryforwards of an underlying Investment Fund, if any, would not offset net capital gain of the Trust or of another underlying Investment Fund.

Market Discount and Price Volatility Risk

The NAV and market price of the Common Shares will fluctuate, sometimes independently, based on market and other factors affecting the Trust and its investments. The market price of the Common Shares may experience volatility (sometimes high volatility) driven by market forces that may be unrelated to changes in the Trust’s NAV or other internal Trust factors. The market price of the Common Shares will either be above (premium) or below (discount) their NAV. Although the NAV of Common Shares is often considered in determining whether to purchase or sell shares, whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of Common Shares will depend upon whether the market price of Common Shares at the time of sale is above or below the investor’s purchase price, taking into account transaction costs for the Common Shares, and is not directly dependent upon the Trust’s NAV. Market price movements of Common Shares are thus material to investors and may result in losses, even when NAV has increased.

The Trust cannot predict whether the Common Shares will trade at a premium or discount to NAV and the market price for the Common Shares will change based on a variety of factors. If the Common Shares are trading at a premium to NAV at the time you purchase Common Shares, the NAV per share of the Common Shares purchased will be less than the purchase price paid. Shares of closed-end management investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their NAV, but in some cases have traded above NAV. The risk of the Common Shares trading

²¹⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

at a discount is a risk separate and distinct from the risk of a decline in the Trust’s NAV as a result of the Trust’s investment activities.

Because the market price of the Common Shares will be determined by factors such as NAV, dividend and distribution levels (which are dependent, in part, on expenses), supply of and demand for Common Shares, stability of dividends or distributions, trading volume of Common Shares, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond the Trust’s control, the Trust cannot predict whether the Common Shares will trade at, below or above NAV, or at, below or above the public offering price for the Common Shares.

The Trust’s NAV would be reduced following an offering of the Common Shares due to the costs of such offering, to the extent those costs are borne by the Trust. The sale of Common Shares by the Trust (or the perception that such sales may occur) may have an adverse effect on prices of Common Shares in the secondary market, including by resulting in increased trading of the Common Shares, which may increase volatility in the market price of the Common Shares. An increase in the number of Common Shares available may put downward pressure on the market price for Common Shares. The Trust may, from time to time, seek the consent of Common Shareholders to permit the issuance and sale by the Trust of Common Shares at a price below the Trust’s then-current NAV, subject to certain conditions, and such sales of Common Shares at price below NAV, if any, may increase downward pressure on the market price for Common Shares. These sales, if any, also might make it more difficult for the Trust to sell additional Common Shares at a time and price it deems appropriate.

The Trust is designed for long-term investors and investors in Common Shares should not view the Trust as a vehicle for trading purposes.

Dilution Risk

The voting power of current Common Shareholders will be diluted to the extent that current Common Shareholders do not purchase Common Shares in any future offerings of Common Shares or do not purchase sufficient Common Shares to maintain their percentage interest. If the Trust is unable to invest the proceeds of such offering as intended or if investments made with these proceeds perform poorly, the Trust’s per Common Share distribution may decrease, and the Trust may not participate in market advances to the same extent as if such proceeds were fully invested as planned. If the Trust sells Common Shares at a price below NAV pursuant to the consent of Common Shareholders, shareholders will experience a dilution of the aggregate NAV per Common Share because the sale price will be less than the Trust’s then-current NAV per Common Share. Similarly, were the expenses of the offering to exceed the amount by which the sale price exceeded the Trust’s then-current NAV per Common Share, shareholders would experience a

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²¹⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

dilution of the aggregate NAV per Common Share. This dilution will be experienced by all shareholders, irrespective of whether they purchase Common Shares in any such offering.

Availability and Quality of Data

GPIM faces the general risk regarding the availability and quality of information concerning a particular asset or investment, and employs a variety of policies, practices and methodologies designed to minimize that risk. For example, there is less readily available and reliable information about most bank loans than is the case for many other types of instruments, including listed securities. Another example is the consideration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) criteria where GPIM believes it could have a material impact on an investment’s return or issuer’s financial performance (though, for avoidance of doubt, GPIM does not offer any ESG products). Similar to GPIM’s ability to evaluate traditional factors in making investment decisions, the ability for GPIM to identify and evaluate ESG characteristics and risks, or to engage with an issuer, is limited to the availability and quality of information on an asset or issuer. In some cases, GPIM may decline to consider ESG criteria in an investment decision due to the unavailability of information on an issuer, or the quality of that information. In addition, GPIM often uses data and insights from third-party research to provide additional input in the analysis of ESG-related criteria. Third-party information and data will, from time to time, be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. As a result, there is a risk that GPIM could incorrectly assess the ESG criteria or risks associated with a particular asset or issuer. Additionally, GPIM expects from time to time to directly engage with certain corporate credit issuers by requesting improved issuer disclosure relating to ESG factors, as well as discussing potential opportunities to improve various ESG metrics and other related topics. Direct engagement will occur with only a minority of portfolio investments and issuers GPIM considers for investment and will depend on a variety of considerations, including the materiality of ESG criteria to the specific issuer or sector and the size of GPIM client investments in the issuer. There can be no assurance that GPIM’s engagement efforts will be successful or provide benefits to clients.

The application of ESG criteria and risk factors to portfolio investments (if any) could result in one or more assets or issuers being excluded from the Trust, which could have an adverse effect on the performance of the Trust. Additionally, in some circumstances a client mandate or applicable regulations can cause GPIM to restrict specific investments based on particular ESG characteristics. GPIM also reserves the right, in the future, to implement restrictions or prohibitions on investments within certain industries for all or a sub-set of all client accounts which could be based on particular ESG criteria or other relevant factors. As a result of any of the aforementioned circumstances, clients may be limited as to available investments,

²¹⁶^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

which could hinder performance when compared to investments with no such restrictions.

Portfolio Turnover Risk

The Trust’s annual portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year. Portfolio turnover rate is not considered a limiting factor in the execution of investment decisions for the Trust. A higher portfolio turnover rate results in correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses that are borne by the Trust. High portfolio turnover may result in an increased realization of net short-term capital gains by the Trust which, when distributed to Common Shareholders, will be taxable as ordinary income. Additionally, in a declining market, portfolio turnover may create realized capital losses.

Recent Market Developments Risk

The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Trust are subject to the possibility of rapid and unpredictable fluctuation, and loss. These movements may result from factors affecting individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, including real or perceived changes in prevailing interest rates, changes in inflation rates or expectations about inflation rates, adverse investor confidence or sentiment, changing economic, political (including geopolitical), social or financial market conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, recession, changes in currency rates, increased instability or general uncertainty, environmental disasters, governmental actions, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), debt crises, actual or threatened wars or other armed conflicts or credit ratings downgrades, and other similar types of events, each of which may be temporary or last for extended periods.

Periods of market volatility remain, and may continue to occur in the future, in response to various market, political, social, geopolitical, economic and public health events both within and outside of the United States. These conditions have resulted in, and in cases continue to result in, greater price volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency, with certain securities remaining illiquid and of uncertain value. Such market conditions may adversely affect the Trust, including by making valuation of some of the Trust’s securities uncertain and/ or result in sudden and significant valuation increases or declines in the Trust’s holdings. If there is a significant decline in the value of the Trust’s portfolio, this may impact the asset coverage levels for the Trust’s outstanding leverage.

Future debt, economic, political, public health or other unforeseeable situations could also have a detrimental impact on the global economies, the financial condition of financial institutions, operations of businesses and the Trust’s business, financial condition and results of operation. Market and economic disruptions have

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²¹⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

affected, and may in the future affect, consumer confidence levels and spending, personal bankruptcy rates, levels of incurrence and default on consumer and other debt and home prices, among other factors. To the extent uncertainty regarding the U.S. or global economy negatively impacts consumer confidence and consumer credit factors, the Trust’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected. Downgrades to the credit ratings of major banks could result in increased borrowing costs for such banks and negatively affect the broader economy. Moreover, Federal Reserve policy, including with respect to certain interest rates, may also adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of various investments, notably dividend- and interest-paying securities. These policies are subject to change at any time based on a variety of factors and developments, with uncertain impacts on financial markets and economic conditions and, thus, the Trust’s investments market volatility, changing interest rates and/or unfavorable economic conditions could impair the Trust’s ability to achieve its investment objectives. Economies and markets are experiencing, and have experienced high inflation rates. In response to such inflation, government authorities have implemented significant fiscal and monetary policies such as increasing interest rates and quantitative tightening (reduction of money available in the market), which may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, as well as the Trust’s performance, and have unintended adverse consequences.

Moreover, changing economic, political, social, geopolitical, financial market or other conditions in one country or geographic region could adversely affect the value, yield and return of the investments held by the Trust in a different country or geographic region and economies, markets and issuers generally because of the increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. As a result, there is an increased risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt economies and markets globally. For example, local or regional armed conflicts have led to significant sanctions by the United States, Europe and other countries against certain countries (as well as persons and companies connected with certain countries) and led to indirect adverse regional and global market, economic and other effects. It is difficult to accurately predict or foresee when events or conditions affecting the U.S. or global financial markets, economies, and issuers may occur, the effects of such events or conditions, potential escalations or expansions of these events, possible retaliations in response to sanctions or similar actions and the duration or ultimate impact of those events. There is an increased likelihood that these types of events or conditions can, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, result in a variety of adverse developments and circumstances, such as reduced liquidity, supply chain disruptions and market volatility, as well as increased general uncertainty, extreme weather and broad ramifications for markets, economies, issuers, businesses in many sectors and societies globally. In addition, adverse

²¹⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

changes in one sector or industry or with respect to a particular company could negatively impact companies in other sectors or industries or increase market volatility as a result of the interconnected nature of economies and markets and thus negatively affect the Trust’s performance. For example, developments in the banking or financial services sectors (or one or more companies operating in these sectors) could adversely impact a wide range of companies and issuers. These types of adverse developments could negatively affect the Trust’s performance or operations.

Increasing Government and other Public Debt Risk

Government and other public debt, including municipal obligations in which the Trust may invest, can be adversely affected by large and sudden changes in local and global economic conditions that result in increased debt levels. Although high levels of government and other public debt do not necessarily indicate or cause economic problems, high levels of debt may create certain systemic risks if sound debt management practices are not implemented. A high debt level may increase market pressures to meet an issuer’s funding needs, which may increase borrowing costs and cause a government or public or municipal entity to issue additional debt, thereby increasing the risk of refinancing. A high debt level also raises concerns that the issuer may be unable or unwilling to repay the principal or interest on its debt, which may adversely impact instruments held by the Trust that rely on such payments. Extraordinary governmental and quasigovernmental responses to economic, market, labor and public health conditions designed to support the markets may, at times, significantly increase government and other public debt, which heighten these risks and the long-term consequences of these actions are not known. Unsustainable debt levels can decline the valuation of currencies and can prevent a government from implementing effective counter cyclical fiscal policy during economic downturns or can lead to increases in inflation or generate or contribute to an economic downturn. Fiscal policies, government spending and deficit reduction plans may adversely affect U.S. and global economies and markets.

Legislation and Regulation Risk

At any time after the date hereof, U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators may implement additional regulations (or amend or change existing regulations) and legislators may pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Trust, the strategies used by the Trust or the level of regulation or taxation applying to the Trust (such as regulations related to investments in derivatives and other transactions). These regulations and laws may impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Trust, as well as the way investments in, and shareholders of, the Trust are taxed.

In December 2023, the SEC adopted rule amendments providing that any covered clearing agency (“CCA”) for U.S. Treasury securities require that every direct participant of the CCA (which generally would be a bank or broker-dealer) submit for clearance and settlement all eligible secondary market transactions in U.S. Treasury securities to which it is a counterparty. The clearing mandate includes in its scope all repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements of such direct participants collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities (collectively, “Treasury repo transactions”) of a type accepted for clearing by a registered CCA, including both bilateral Treasury repo transactions and triparty Treasury repo transactions where a bank agent provides custody, collateral management and settlement services.

The Treasury repo transactions of registered funds with any direct participants of a CCA will be subject to the mandatory clearing requirement.

Compliance with the clearing mandate for Treasury repo transactions is scheduled to be required as of June 30, 2027. The clearing mandate is expected to result in the Trust being required to clear all or substantially all of its Treasury repo transactions as of the compliance date. There are currently substantial regulatory and operational uncertainties associated with the implementation which may affect the cost, terms and/or availability of cleared repo transactions.

Risk of Failure to Qualify as a RIC

To qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally accorded to regulated investment companies (“RICs”), the Trust must, among other things, derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from certain prescribed sources, meet certain asset diversification tests and distribute for each taxable year at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” (generally, ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of net short-term capital gain over net long term capital loss), and at least 90% of its net tax-exempt income (generally, gross tax- exempt income less the nondeductible expenses associated with such income). If for any taxable year the Trust does not qualify as a RIC, all of its taxable income for that year (including its net capital gain) would be subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for distributions to shareholders, and such distributions would be taxable as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits.

Conflicts of Interest Risk

Guggenheim Partners, LLC (“Guggenheim Partners”) is a global asset management and investment advisory organization. Guggenheim Partners, its affiliates, investors and officers advise clients and are active in various markets and transactions and provide, purchase, sell, hold and recommend a broad array of investments and services for their own accounts and the accounts of clients or businesses they manage. Accordingly, Guggenheim Partners and its affiliates,

²²⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

investors and officers may have direct and indirect interests in a variety of global markets and issuers in which the Trust may directly or indirectly invest or with whom they may transact. These interests may cause the Trust to be subject to regulatory limits and conflicts, and in certain circumstances, these various activities may prevent the Trust from participating in an investment decision.

An investment in the Trust is subject to a number of actual or potential conflicts of interest. For example, the Adviser and its affiliates, investors and officers are engaged in a variety of business activities that are unrelated to managing the Trust, which may give rise to actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest in connection with making investment or business decisions for the Trust. As a result, activities and dealings of Guggenheim Partners, its affiliates, investors and officers may affect the Trust in ways that may disadvantage or restrict the Trust or be deemed to benefit Guggenheim Partners, its affiliates, investors and officers. From time to time, conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio manager’s management of the investments of the Trust on the one hand and the management of other registered investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and other accounts (collectively, “other accounts”) on the other. Other accounts may include clients associated with companies or individuals that hold economic interests in Guggenheim Capital, LLC (“Guggenheim Capital”), the ultimate parent company of the Adviser and GPIM, or clients in which certain officers and directors of Guggenheim Capital and its subsidiaries hold direct or indirect interests. These relationships create conflicts of interest and an incentive for the Adviser and GPIM to favor the interests of Guggenheim related parties. Furthermore, the other accounts might have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Trust or otherwise hold, purchase, or sell securities that are eligible to be held, purchased or sold by the Trust. In certain circumstances, and subject to its fiduciary obligations under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Adviser or GPIM may have to allocate a limited investment opportunity among its clients. The other accounts might also have different investment objectives or strategies than the Trust. In addition, the Trust may be limited in its ability to invest in, or hold securities of, any companies that the Adviser or its affiliates (or other accounts managed by the Adviser, its affiliates, investors and officers) control, or companies in which the Adviser, its affiliates, investors or officers have interests or with whom they do business. For example, affiliates of the Adviser may act as underwriter, lead agent or administrative agent for loans or otherwise participate in the market for loans. Because of limitations imposed by applicable law, the presence of the Adviser’s affiliates, investors and officers, in the markets for loans and similar investments may restrict the Trust’s ability to acquire some loans or affect the timing or price of such acquisitions. To address these conflicts, the Trust and Guggenheim Partners and its affiliates have established various policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to identify and mitigate such conflicts and

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²²¹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

prevent the Trust from being disadvantaged. There can be no guarantee that these policies and procedures will be successful in every instance.

The Trust may acquire and dispose a portion of its investments in privately negotiated transactions alongside affiliated entities, including affiliates of the Trust, the Adviser and GPIM (i.e., co-investment transactions), subject to applicable law and the requirements and restrictions thereof. Co-investment transactions are subject to the risks associated with the relevant investments as well as heightened conflicts of interest, including, among others, in the allocation of investment opportunities. In certain circumstances, co-investments may be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of exemptive relief from the SEC, which the Trust, Adviser, GPIM and certain of their affiliates have received.

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk

The Trust does not know and cannot predict how long the securities markets may be affected by geopolitical events and the effects of these and similar events in the future on the U.S. economy and securities markets. The Trust may be adversely affected by abrogation of international agreements and national laws which have created the market instruments in which the Trust may invest, failure of the designated national and international authorities to enforce compliance with the same laws and agreements, failure of local, national and international organization to carry out their duties prescribed to them under the relevant agreements, revisions of these laws and agreements which dilute their effectiveness or conflicting interpretation of provisions of the same laws and agreements. The Trust may be adversely affected by uncertainties such as terrorism, international political developments, and changes in government policies, taxation, restrictions on foreign investment and currency repatriation, currency fluctuations and other developments in the laws and regulations of the countries in which it is invested and the risks associated with financial, economic, geopolitical, public health, labor and other global market developments and disruptions, such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and Iran conflict and the risk of expansion or collateral economic and other effects.

Cyber Security, Market Disruptions and Operational Risk

Like other funds and other parts of the modern economy, the Trust and its service providers, as well as exchanges and market participants through or with which the Trust trades and exchanges on which its shares trade and other infrastructures, services and parties on which the Trust, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or the Trust’s other service providers rely, are susceptible to ongoing risks related to cyber incidents and the risks associated with financial, economic, public health, labor and other global market developments and disruptions, including those arising out of geopolitical events, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), natural/environmental disasters (such as

²²²^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

earthquakes, wildfires and floods), war, terrorism and governmental or quasi- governmental actions. Technological developments such as the use of cloud-based service providers and/or services and the integration of artificial intelligence in systems and operations create new risks that are difficult to assess and anticipate. For example, the Trust’s service providers and market participants on which the Trust relies may use artificial intelligence (such as machine learning, generative artificial intelligence or blockchain technology) and similar technologies in the provision of services to the Trust and its operations generally. Such use may subject these service providers and market participants and, in turn, their services and operations to increased risks associated with such technologies, including risk of errors, cybersecurity, data protection and information technology risk, operational risk, and legal, regulatory and compliance risk. In addition, any controls in place designed to mitigate such risks may be ineffective and the use of these technologies may change over time, which may present new risks and vulnerabilities. As a result, the Trust may experience adverse consequences, such as operational errors, from such use of artificial intelligence and similar technologies. Cyber incidents can result from unintentional events (such as an inadvertent release of confidential information) or deliberate attacks (such as cyber extortion) by insiders or third parties, including cyber criminals, competitors, nation-states and “hacktivists,” and can be perpetrated by a variety of complex means, including the use of stolen access credentials, malware or other computer viruses, ransomware, phishing, structured query language injection attacks, and distributed denial of service attacks, among other means. Cyber incidents and market or other disruptions may result in actual or potential adverse consequences for critical information and communications technology, systems and networks that are vital to the operations of the Trust or its service providers, or otherwise impair Trust or service provider operations. For example, a cyber incident may cause operational disruptions and failures impacting information systems or information that a system processes, stores, or transmits, such as by theft, damage or destruction, or corruption or modification of and denial of access to data maintained online or digitally, denial of service on websites rendering the websites unavailable to intended users or not accessible for such users in a timely manner, and the unauthorized release or other exploitation of confidential information. Recent geopolitical tensions may have increased the scale and sophistication of deliberate cyber attacks, particularly from nation-states or entities with nation-state backing.

Geopolitical tensions may, from time to time, increase the scale and sophistication of cyber incidents and other disruptions. A cyber incident or sudden market, operational, technological (including widespread system outages or faulty updates to software applications) or other disruption could adversely impact the Trust, its service providers or its shareholders by, among other things, interfering with the processing of transactions or other operational functionality, impacting the Trust’s

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²²³


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

ability to calculate its NAV or other data, causing the release of private shareholder information (i.e., identity theft or other privacy breaches) or confidential Trust information or otherwise compromising the security and reliability of information, impeding trading, causing reputational damage, and subjecting the Trust or its service providers to regulatory fines, penalties or financial losses, reimbursement or other compensation or remediation costs, litigation expenses and additional compliance and cyber security risk management costs, which may be substantial. The same could affect the exchange on which Trust shares trade. A cyber incident could also adversely affect the ability of the Trust (and its Adviser and/or Sub- Adviser) to invest or manage the Trust’s assets.

Cyber incidents and developments and disruptions to financial, economic, public health, labor and other global market conditions can obstruct the regular functioning of business workforces (including requiring employees to work from external locations or from their homes), cause business slowdowns or temporary suspensions of business activities, each of which can negatively impact Trust service providers and Trust operations. Although the Trust and its service providers, as well as exchanges and market participants through or with which the Trust trades and other infrastructures on which the Trust or its service providers rely, may have established business continuity plans and systems reasonably designed to protect from and/or defend against the risks or adverse consequences associated with cyber incidents and operational and market disruptions, there are inherent limitations in these plans and systems, including that certain risks may not yet be identified, in large part because different or unknown threats may emerge in the future and the threats continue to rapidly evolve and increase in sophistication. As a result, it is not possible to anticipate and prevent every cyber incident and possible obstruction to the normal activities of these entities’ employees resulting from market disruptions and attempts to mitigate the occurrence or impact of such events may be unsuccessful. For example, public health emergencies and governmental responses to such emergencies, including through quarantine measures and travel restrictions, can create difficulties in carrying out the normal working processes of these entities’ employees, disrupt their operations and hamper their capabilities. The nature, extent, and potential magnitude of the adverse consequences of these events cannot be predicted accurately but may result in significant risks, adverse consequences and costs to the Trust and its shareholders. The use of cloud-based service providers could heighten all of the above risks.

The issuers of securities in which the Trust invests are also subject to the ongoing risks and threats associated with cyber incidents and market disruptions. These incidents could result in adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the Trust’s investment in such securities to lose value. For example, a cyber incident involving an issuer may include the theft, destruction or misappropriation of financial assets, intellectual property or other sensitive information belonging to the issuer or

²²⁴^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

their customers (i.e., identity theft or other privacy breaches) and a market disruption involving an issuer may include materially reduced consumer demand and output, disrupted supply chains, market closures, travel restrictions and quarantines. As a result, the issuer may experience the types of adverse consequences summarized above, among others (such as loss of revenue), despite having implemented preventative and other measures reasonably designed to protect from and/or defend against the risks or adverse effects associated with cyber incidents and market disruptions.

The Trust and its service providers, as well as exchanges and market participants through or with which the Trust trades and other infrastructures on which the Trust or its service providers rely, are also subject to the risks associated with technological and operational disruptions or failures arising from, for example, processing errors and human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, failures in systems and technology, errors in algorithms used with respect to the Trust, changes in personnel, and errors caused by third parties or trading counterparties. Although the Trust attempts to minimize such failures through controls and oversight, it is not possible to identify all of the operational risks that may affect the Trust or to develop processes and controls that completely eliminate or mitigate the occurrence of such failures or other disruptions in service.

Cyber incidents, market disruptions and operational errors or failures or other technological issues may adversely affect the Trust’s ability to calculate its NAV correctly, in a timely manner or process trades or Trust or shareholder transactions may be adversely affected, including over a potentially extended period. The Trust does not control the cyber security, disaster recovery, or other operational defense plans or systems of its service providers, intermediaries, exchanges where its shares trades, companies in which it invests or other third-parties. The value of an investment in Trust shares may be adversely affected by the occurrence of the cyber incidents, market disruptions and operational errors or failures or technological issues summarized above or other similar events and the Trust and its shareholders may bear costs tied to these risks. In addition, the use of work- from-home arrangements or the use of contingency plans by the Trust, the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser (or their service providers) could increase all of the above risks, create additional data and information accessibility concerns, and make the Trust, the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser (or their service providers) more susceptible to operational disruptions, any of which could adversely impact their operations. Furthermore, the Trust may be an appealing target for cybersecurity threats such as hackers and malware. There can be no guarantee that any risk management systems established by the Trust, its service providers, or issuers of the securities in which the Trust invests to reduce technology and cyber security risks will succeed, and the Trust cannot control such systems put in place by service providers, issuers or other third parties whose operations may affect the Trust.

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²²⁵


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

In addition, to the extent that GPIM utilizes a sleeve structure and sub-accounts of the Trust in managing the Trust, the Trust would be more susceptible to operational risks, including (but not limited to) settlement, administrative and accounting errors in monitoring the sub-accounts and processing trades and other transactions within and between sub-accounts.

ANTI-TAKEOVER AND CERTAIN OTHER PROVISIONS IN THE TRUST’S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS

The Trust’s Declaration of Trust and the Trust’s Bylaws, each as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, include provisions that could limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Trust or convert the Trust to an open-end fund. These provisions could have the effect of depriving the Common Shareholders of opportunities to sell their Common Shares at a premium over the then-current market price of the Common Shares.

In addition, investors should note that the Trust reserves the right to merge or reorganize with another fund, liquidate or convert into an open-end fund, in each case subject to applicable approvals by shareholders and the Trust’s Board of Trustees as required by law and the Trust’s governing documents.

The Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains provisions relating to forum selection. For example, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust provides that, unless the Trust consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, any claims, suits, actions or proceedings arising under the Securities Act shall be exclusively brought in the federal district courts of the United States of America. The designation of exclusive forum may make it more expensive for a shareholder to bring a suit and may limit a shareholder’s ability to litigate a claim in a jurisdiction or forum that may be more convenient and that a shareholder believes is favorable to the shareholder for the claim.

EFFECTS OF LEVERAGE

Assuming that the Trust’s total Financial Leverage represented approximately 28.5% of the Trust’s Managed Assets (based on the Trust’s outstanding Financial Leverage of $160,148,376) and interest costs to the Trust at a combined average annual rate of 4.19% (based on the Trust’s average annual leverage costs for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026) with respect to such Financial Leverage, then the incremental income generated by the Trust’s portfolio (net of estimated expenses including expenses related to the Financial Leverage) must exceed approximately 1.19% to cover such interest specifically related to the debt. These numbers are merely estimates used for illustration. Actual interest rates may vary frequently and may be significantly higher or lower than the rate estimated above.

²²⁶^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

The following table is furnished pursuant to requirements of the SEC. It is designed to illustrate the effect of leverage on Common Share total return, assuming investment portfolio total returns (comprised of income, net expenses and changes in the value of investments held in the Trust’s portfolio) of -10%, -5%, 0%, 5% and 10%. These assumed investment portfolio returns are hypothetical figures and are not necessarily indicative of what the Trust’s investment portfolio returns will be. The table further reflects the issuance of Financial Leverage representing approximately 28.5% of the Trust’s Managed Assets and interest costs to the Trust at a combined average annual rate of 4.19% with respect to such Financial Leverage. The table does not reflect any offering costs of Common Shares or Borrowings.


Assumed portfolio total return (net of expenses)	(10.00%)	(5.00%)	0.00%	5.00%	10.00%
Common Share total return	(15.65%)	(8.66%)	(1.67%)	5.32%	12.32%

Common Share total return is composed of two elements—the Common Share dividends paid by the Trust (the amount of which is largely determined by the Trust’s net investment income after paying the carrying cost of Financial Leverage) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on the value of the securities the Trust owns. As required by SEC rules, the table assumes that the Trust is more likely to suffer capital loss than to enjoy capital appreciation. For example, to assume a total return of 0%, the Trust must assume that the net investment income it receives on its investments is entirely offset by losses on the value of those investments. This table reflects the hypothetical performance of the Trust’s portfolio and not the performance of the Common Shares, the value of which will be determined by market and other factors.

During the time in which the Trust is utilizing Financial Leverage, the amount of the fees paid to the Adviser by the Trust (and by the Adviser to GPIM) for investment advisory services will be higher than if the Trust did not utilize Financial Leverage because the fees paid will be calculated based on the Trust’s Managed Assets which may create a conflict of interest between the Adviser and GPIM and the Common Shareholders. Because the Financial Leverage costs will be borne by the Trust at a specified rate, only the Common Shareholders will bear the cost of the Trust’s fees and expenses. The Trust generally will not use Financial Leverage if the Adviser and GPIM anticipate that such use would result in a lower return to Common Shareholders for any significant amount of time.

INTEREST RATE TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the Trust’s duration management strategy and use of Financial Leverage, the Trust may enter into interest rate swap or cap transactions. Interest rate swaps involve the Trust’s agreement with the swap counterparty to pay or receive a fixed-rate payment in exchange for a variable-rate payment. An interest rate cap transaction would require the Trust to pay a premium to the cap

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²²⁷


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

counterparty and would entitle it, to the extent that a specified variable-rate index exceeds a predetermined fixed rate, to receive payment from the counterparty of the difference based on the notional amount.

In connection with the Trust’s duration management strategy, the Trust may use interest rate swaps to reduce the overall duration of the portfolio. In connection with the Trust’s use of leverage, the Trust may use interest rate swaps or caps to seek to reduce or eliminate the risk that an increase in short-term interest rates could have on Common Share net earnings as a result of Financial Leverage. For example, the Trust may agree to pay to the swap counterparty a fixed-rate payment in exchange for the counterparty’s paying the Trust a variable-rate payment that is intended to approximate all or a portion of the Trust’s variable-rate payment obligation on the Trust’s Financial Leverage.

The Trust will usually enter into swaps or caps on a net basis; that is, the two payment streams will be netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Trust’s receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments.

The use of interest rate swaps and caps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. Depending on the state of interest rates in general, the Trust’s use of interest rate instruments could enhance or harm the overall performance of the Common Shares. To the extent there is a decline in interest rates, the net amount receivable by the Trust under the interest rate swap or cap could decline and could thus result in a decline in the net asset value of the Common Shares. In addition, if short-term interest rates are lower than the Trust’s fixed rate of payment on the interest rate swap, the swap will reduce Common Share net earnings if the Trust must make net payments to the counterparty. If, on the other hand, short-term interest rates are higher than the fixed rate of payment on the interest rate swap, the swap will enhance Common Share net earnings if the Trust receives net payments from the counterparty. Buying interest rate caps could enhance the performance of the Common Shares by limiting the Trust’s maximum leverage expense.

Buying interest rate caps could also decrease the net earnings of the Common Shares if the premium paid by the Trust to the counterparty exceeds the additional cost of the Financial Leverage that the Trust would have been required to pay had it not entered into the cap agreement. Interest rate swaps and caps do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to interest rate swaps is limited to the net amount of interest payments that the Trust is contractually obligated to make. The Trust will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to interest rate transactions entered into by the Trust. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform

²²⁸^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

its obligations under a derivative contract, the Trust may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceedings. The Trust may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. Depending on whether the Trust would be entitled to receive net payments from the counterparty on the swap or cap, which in turn would depend on the general state of short-term interest rates at that point in time, such default by a counterparty could negatively impact the performance of the Common Shares.

Although this will not guarantee that the counterparty does not default, the Trust will not enter into an interest rate swap or cap transaction with any counterparty that GPIM believes does not have the financial resources to honor its obligation under the interest rate swap or cap transaction. Further, GPIM will regularly monitor the financial stability of a counterparty to an interest rate swap or cap transaction in an effort to seek to proactively protect the Trust’s investments.

At the time the interest rate swap or cap transaction reaches its scheduled termination date, there is a risk that the Trust will not be able to obtain a replacement transaction or that the terms of the replacement will not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. If this occurs, it could have a negative impact on the performance of the Common Shares. The Trust may choose or be required to prepay Indebtedness. Such a prepayment would likely result in the Trust’s seeking to terminate early all or a portion of any swap or cap transaction entered into in connection with the Trust’s use of Financial Leverage. Such early termination of a swap could result in a termination payment by or to the Trust. An early termination of a cap could result in a termination payment to the Trust. There may also be penalties associated with early termination.

FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Trust operates under the following restrictions that constitute fundamental policies that, except as otherwise noted, cannot be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust voting together as a single class, which is defined by the 1940 Act as the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the Trust’s voting securities present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the Trust’s outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the Trust’s outstanding voting securities. Except as otherwise noted, all percentage limitations set forth below apply immediately after a purchase or initial investment and any subsequent change in any applicable percentage resulting from market fluctuations does not require any action. These restrictions provide that the Trust shall not:

^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}^l²²⁹


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

1. Issue senior securities nor borrow money, except the Trust may issue senior securities or borrow money to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2. Act as underwriter of another issuer’s securities, except to the extent that the Trust may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities.

3. Invest in any security if, as a result, 25% or more of the value of the Trust’s total assets, taken at market value at the time of each investment, are in the securities of issuers in any particular industry or group of related industries, except that this policy shall not apply to (i) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities or (ii) securities issued by state and municipal governments or their political subdivisions (other than those municipal securities backed only by the assets and revenues of nongovernmental users with respect to which the Trust will not invest 25% or more of the value of the Trust’s total assets in securities backed by the same source of revenue).

4. Purchase or sell real estate except that the Trust may: (a) acquire or lease office space for its own use, (b) invest in securities of issuers that invest in real estate or interests therein or that are engaged in or operate in the real estate industry, (c) invest in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein, (d) purchase and sell mortgage-related securities, (e) hold and sell real estate acquired by the Trust as a result of the ownership of securities and (f) as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

5. Purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments; provided that this restriction shall not prohibit the Trust from purchasing or selling options, futures contracts and related options thereon, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars and any other financial instruments or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

6. Make loans of money or property to any person, except (a) to the extent that securities or interests in which the Trust may invest are considered to be loans, (b) through the loan of portfolio securities in an amount up to 33 1/3% of the Trust’s total assets, (c) by engaging in repurchase agreements or (d) as may otherwise be permitted by applicable law.

7. With respect to 75% of the value of the Trust’s total assets, purchase any securities (other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or by its agencies or instrumentalities), if as a result more than 5% of the Trust’s total assets would then be invested in securities of a single issuer or if as a result the Trust would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any single issuer.

The Trust’s investment objectives are also considered fundamental and may not be changed without the approval of the holders of the Trust’s Common Shares.

In addition to the foregoing fundamental investment policies, the Trust is subject to the following non-fundamental restrictions and policies, which may be changed by the board of trustees (the “Board”):

²³⁰^l^GBAB^l^{GUGGENHEIM TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND & INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT}


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (Unaudited) continued	May 31, 2026

(a) In addition to the issuer diversification limits set forth in investment restriction (7) above, under normal market conditions, the Trust will not purchase any securities (other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or by its agencies or instrumentalities), if as a result more than 15% of the Trust’s total assets would then be invested in securities of a single issuer; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply during the period prior to the full investment of the proceeds of any offering completed by the Trust.

For purposes of applying the limitation set forth in subparagraph (3) above to securities that have a security interest or other collateral claim on specified underlying collateral (including asset-backed securities and collateralized debt and loan obligations) the Trust will determine the industry classifications of such investments based on the Adviser’s evaluation of the risks associated with the collateral underlying such investments. For purposes of applying the limitation set forth in subparagraph (3) above, such policy not to concentrate applies to the industry of nongovernmental issuers (i.e. securities not issued by state and municipal governments or their political subdivisions).

For the purpose of applying the limitation set forth in subparagraphs (7) and (a) above, a governmental issuer shall be deemed the single issuer of a security when its assets and revenues are separate from other governmental entities and its securities are backed only by its assets and revenues. Similarly, in the case of a nongovernmental issuer, if the security is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental issuer, then such non-governmental issuer would be deemed to be the single issuer. Where a security is also backed by the enforceable obligation of a superior or unrelated governmental or other entity (other than a bond insurer), it shall also be included in the computation of securities owned that are issued by such governmental or other entity. Where a security is guaranteed by a governmental entity or some other facility, such as a bank guarantee or letter of credit, such a guarantee or letter of credit would be considered a separate security and would be treated as an issue of such government, other entity or bank. When a municipal security is insured by bond insurance, it shall not be considered a security that is issued or guaranteed by the insurer; instead, the issuer of such municipal security will be determined in accordance with the principles set forth above. The foregoing restrictions do not limit the percentage of the Trust’s assets that may be invested in municipal securities insured by any given insurer.

(a)(2)(iv) Potential Conflicts of Interest

Certain portfolio managers employed by GPIM or its affiliates manage, and may in the future manage, multiple accounts, including separately managed accounts, managed account program accounts, private funds, and registered funds, according to the same or similar investment strategies and have made and sold, and may in the future seek to make or sell, investments in the same securities, instruments, sectors or strategies. The manner in which GPIM executes a strategy for one client may differ from how that same or similar strategy is executed for another client due, for example, to investment restrictions imposed by a client or to the use of affiliated no-fee registered investment companies rather than individual securities. In such cases, the performance of a strategy executed on behalf of one client may differ from the performance of the same or a similar strategy that is executed for another client.

Further, this side-by-side management of multiple accounts creates conflicts, particularly in circumstances where the availability or liquidity of investment opportunities is limited. Some investments (such as commercial mortgage loans, products structured for insurance company investment requirements, private equity, hedge funds, venture capital and/or other equity interests) have been, and will in the future be, offered to some but not all clients when appropriately within client investment guidelines, including unaffiliated and affiliated insurance companies.

GPIM faces conflicts of interest because GPIM has an incentive to favor particular accounts over others that are less lucrative in the allocation of investments (e.g., because such accounts have the same or similar investment strategies or otherwise compete for investment opportunities, have potentially conflicting investment strategies or investments, or have differing ability to engage in short sales and economically similar transactions). These conflicts arise when, for example, GPIM allocates investment opportunities that GPIM believes could more likely result in favorable performance, engages in cross trades or executes conflicting or competing investments.

In addition, in certain situations, GPIM’s actions for one client account will affect other client accounts, and GPIM’s actions for one or more client accounts will affect, or be affected by, actions of GPIM affiliates or related persons who hold interests in a particular portfolio company, either directly or through a GPIM managed account.

To address these conflicts, GPIM’s policies and procedures require that investment decisions for client accounts advised by GPIM or its affiliates will be made independently from those of other client accounts and are made with specific reference to the individual needs and objectives of each client account, without consideration of GPIM’s or its employees’ or affiliates’ pecuniary or investment interests. In particular, under GPIM’s policies and procedures investment opportunities will be allocated in a manner that GPIM believes is consistent with its obligations as an investment adviser. Investment groups within GPIM are subject to these and/or other similar policies and procedures that are consistent with GPIM’s obligations as an investment adviser and that address circumstances that are unique to their businesses. Accordingly, particular client accounts have received, and will in the future receive, an allocation in a given transaction when other client accounts do not. Where such differences in allocation occur, account investments and performance will differ from client to client.

GPIM advises clients with similar investment strategies. GPIM has implemented policies and procedures that govern the allocation of investment opportunities among clients in a fair and equitable manner, taking into account the needs and investment objectives of the clients as well as prevailing market conditions. In such circumstances, if an investment opportunity would be appropriate for more than one client, GPIM will be required to choose among those clients in allocating the opportunity, or to allocate less of the opportunity to a client than it would ideally allocate if it did not have to allocate to multiple clients. In addition, GPIM often determines that an investment opportunity is appropriate for a particular account, but not for another. There can be no assurance that a particular investment opportunity will be allocated in any particular manner.

In order to minimize execution costs for clients, trades in the same security transacted on behalf of more than one client of GPIM may be aggregated (i.e., blocked or bunched), subject to the aggregation being in the best interests of the participating clients and the firm’s obligation to seek best execution. In particular, GPIM expects that trades will be aggregated between GPIM clients, unless GPIM believes that doing so would conflict or otherwise be inconsistent with its duty to seek best execution for its clients and/or the terms of the respective investment advisory contracts and other agreements and understandings relating to the clients for which trades are being aggregated. When GPIM believes that it can effectively obtain best execution for its clients by aggregating trades, it will do so for all clients participating in the trade for which aggregated trades are consistent with the respective investment advisory contracts, investment guidelines, and other agreements and understandings relating to the clients.

In the event trades are aggregated, GPIM will seek to: (i) treat all participating client accounts fairly; (ii) continue to seek best execution; and (iii) ensure that clients who participate in an aggregated order will participate at the same price, net of transaction costs.

When a trade is to be executed for a single GPIM client and the trade is not in the best interests of other GPIM clients at the time of the transaction, then the trade will be executed only for that client. Other instances in which client orders will not be aggregated between GPIM clients include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) traders and/or portfolio managers determine that the aggregation is not appropriate due to market conditions; (ii) portfolio managers effect the transactions through an approved client-requested directed-brokerage arrangement (i.e., the same security/investment with different brokers), making aggregation unfeasible; or (iii) a client directs a purchase or sale transaction not in the best interests of other clients at the time of the transaction.

In selecting a counterparty/broker-dealer to execute trades on behalf of clients, GPIM seeks to obtain “best execution” for client transactions (i.e., the most favorable price and execution). In seeking best execution, GPIM is not obligated to choose the counterparty offering the lowest available commission rate if, in GPIM’s reasonable judgment, (i) there is material risk that the overall cost to purchase securities will be higher or the proceeds from the sale of securities will be lower; (ii) to the extent GPIM participates in soft dollar arrangements, a higher commission is justified by the trading or research services provided by the counterparty that fall within the safe harbor of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (iii) other considerations, such as the order size, the time required for execution, the depth and breadth of the market for the security, minimum credit quality considerations to transact business with a particular counterparty, or the quality of the counterparty’s operations dictate utilizing a different counterparty.

GPIM seeks to ensure that potential or actual conflicts of interest are appropriately resolved taking into consideration the best interest of all clients involved. Appropriate resolution will depend on the nature of the transaction and the conflict of interest, but may include, without limitation, (a) general disclosure in GPIM’s Form ADV, or in IMAs or in governing fund documents for the relevant clients, or in specific client notifications, or (b) specific client consent for the applicable transaction both as required by applicable law and regulation, or as required by client investment guidelines, IMAs or governing fund documents, or where otherwise determined necessary or appropriate. GPIM compliance personnel have been designated to review transactions in which conflicts of interest may exist, to ensure compliance with applicable GPIM policies and legal or regulatory requirements.

GPIM and the registrant have each adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these and other types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

(a)(3) Portfolio Manager Compensation

GPIM compensates portfolio managers for their management of a fund’s portfolio. Compensation is evaluated 1) quantitatively based on contribution to investment performance and portfolio risk control and 2) qualitatively based on factors such as teamwork and client service efforts. The portfolio managers’ incentives may include: a competitive base salary, bonus determined by individual and firm wide performance, equity participation, co-investment options, and participation opportunities in various investments, including through deferred compensation programs. To ensure alignment with client interests, a portfolio manager’s compensation is not correlated to the size of assets under management in the strategy for which the portfolio manager is responsible. Some portfolio managers may earn compensation that varies based on the performance of certain accounts or investments. All employees of GPIM are also eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan to which a discretionary match may be made after the completion of each plan year. GPIM’s deferred compensation programs include equity that vests over a period of years, including equity in the form of shares of certain fund(s) managed by the particular portfolio manager. The value of the fund shares under the deferred compensation program is awarded annually and each award vests over a period of years (generally 4 years).

(a)(4) Portfolio Manager Securities Ownership

The following table discloses the dollar range of equity securities of the registrant beneficially owned by each GPIM portfolio manager as of May 31, 2026:
