Allspring Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2024. Globally, stocks and bonds had positive returns for the period. However, markets were volatile as investors focused on persistently high inflation and the impact of aggressive central bank rate hikes. Riskier assets rallied as investors anticipated an end to the tight monetary policy.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 returned 20.98%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 gained 17.69% while the MSCI EM Index (Net) (USD),3 returned 15.40%. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 4 advanced 4.97%, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged)5 gained 3.92%, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index 6 returned 7.06%, and the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index 7 gained 8.94%.
Investors remained focused on central bank monetary policies.
In November, the market mood brightened as cooling inflation inspired confidence that central banks could hold off on further rate hikes. Overall annual inflation in the U.S. fell to 3.1% in November while 12-month inflation in the U.K. and the eurozone eased to 4.6% and 2.4%, respectively—far below their peak levels of mid-2022. Third quarter annualized U.S. GDP growth was raised to an estimated 5.2% while U.S. job totals rose by close to 200,000 in November, indicating a slight cooling of the labor market. All of this fresh evidence added to confidence for a U.S. soft economic landing, leading to a more buoyant mood heading into winter.
The broad year-end rally among stocks and bonds continued in December as investors became more confident that monetary policy would ease in 2024. Supporting the bubbly market mood were reports confirming lower inflationary trends in the U.S. and Europe. During the period, it appeared more likely that the U.S. economy could achieve a soft landing, cooling enough to lower inflation without the pain of a recession. However, by year-end, an expectations gap developed. Capital markets priced in a total of 1.50 percentage points in federal funds rate cuts in 2024—twice as much as the three cuts of 0.25% hinted at by Fed officials.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Financial market performance was mixed in January 2024 as U.S. stocks had modest gains while non-U.S. equities, particularly those in emerging markets, and fixed income assets were held back by central bank pushback on market optimism over rate cuts. Overall, optimism was supported by hints of a soft landing for the U.S. economy. Key data included a surprisingly strong gain of 353,000 jobs in January, an unemployment rate of just 3.7%, and a rise of just 3.1% in the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 in January. However, that resilience helped tone down expectations of a rate cut in March to a more likely second quarter initial move.
In February, stocks were supported by positive economic data and strong corporate earnings. However, fixed income investments were under pressure as resilient inflation curbed expectations on the timing of interest rate cuts. The S&P 500 Index had solid monthly gains along with emerging market equities, which benefited from a rebound in China.
The first quarter of 2024 closed with ongoing stock market momentum and a more muted sense of confidence in fixed income markets as investors adjusted to the prospect of greater-than-expected economic strength. On the flip side, expectations on the timing of an initial Fed rate cut were pushed back from March to June and then beyond. Additionally, the number of quarter-point rate cuts forecast by the market fell from six as projected in December 2023 to two to three cuts by fiscal period-end.
Markets retreated broadly in April as U.S. annual inflation continued to resist monetary policy efforts and expectations for its downward trajectory, with an April CPI reading of 3.4%. The timing of a Fed initial rate cut came into greater question in April. Not only was there less confidence regarding when a first cut would take place but also whether any rate reductions would occur at all in 2024. Market expectations continued to recede to a possible September Fed first cut. Meanwhile, eurozone annual inflation held steady in April at 2.4%. Developed market stocks and fixed income securities of all types were in the red for April.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Allspring Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,
Andrew Owen

Notice to Shareholders
• On November 15, 2023, the Fund announced a renewal of its open-market share repurchase program (the “Buyback Program”). Under the renewed Buyback Program, the Fund may repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares in open market transactions during the period beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2024. The Fund’s Board of Trustees has delegated to Allspring Funds Management, LLC, the Fund’s adviser, discretion to administer the Buyback Program, including the determination of the amount and timing of repurchases in accordance with the best interests of the Fund and subject to applicable legal limitations.
• The Fund’s managed distribution plan provides for the declaration of quarterly distributions to common shareholders of the Fund at an annual minimum fixed rate of 9% based on the Fund’s average monthly net asset value per share over the prior 12 months. Under the managed distribution plan, quarterly distributions may be sourced from income, paid-in capital, and/or capital gains, if any. To the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Fund may distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to its shareholders in order to maintain its managed distribution level. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s distributions or from the terms of the managed distribution plan. Shareholders may elect to reinvest distributions received pursuant to the managed distribution plan in the Fund under the existing dividend reinvestment plan, which is described later in this report.

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

Risk summary
This closed-end fund is no longer available as an initial public offering and is only offered through broker-dealers on the secondary market. A closed-end fund is not required to buy its shares back from investors upon request. Shares of the Fund may trade at either a premium or discount relative to the Fund’s net asset value, and there can be no assurance that any discount will decrease. The values of, and/or the income generated by, securities held by the Fund may decline due to general market conditions or other factors, including those directly involving the issuers of such securities. Equity securities fluctuate in value in response to factors specific to the issuer of the security. Small- and mid-cap securities may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines and limited financial resources compared with their large-cap counterparts and, as a result, small- and mid-cap securities may decline significantly in market downturns and may be more volatile than those of larger companies due to their higher risk of failure. Debt securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk, and high-yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality have a much greater risk of default and their values tend to be more volatile than higher-rated securities with similar maturities. Foreign investments may contain more risk due to the inherent risks associated with changing political climates, foreign market instability, and foreign currency fluctuations. Risks of foreign investing are magnified in emerging or developing markets. Derivatives involve risks, including interest rate risk, credit risk, the risk of improper valuation, and the risk of noncorrelation to the relevant instruments they are designed to hedge or closely track. There are numerous risks associated with transactions in options on securities and/or indexes. As a writer of an index call option, the Fund forgoes the opportunity to profit from increases in the values of securities held by the Fund. However, the Fund has retained the risk of loss (net of premiums received) should the price of the Fund’s portfolio securities decline. Similar risks are involved with writing call options or secured put options on individual securities and/or indexes held in the Fund’s portfolio. This combination of potentially limited appreciation and potentially unlimited depreciation over time may lead to a decline in the net asset value of the Fund. The Fund is leveraged through a revolving credit facility and also may incur leverage by issuing preferred shares in the future. The use of leverage results in certain risks, including, among others, the likelihood of greater volatility of the net asset value and the market value of common shares.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Overview
The Fund’s return based on market value was 23.94% for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2024. During the same period, the Fund’s return based on its net asset value (NAV) was 23.61%. Based on both its market value and its NAV return, the Fund outperformed the Global Dividend Opportunity Blended Index for the period.
Global equities rallied at 2023 year-end and into the spring of 2024.
Global equities moved higher over the trailing six months, supported by a more dovish tone by major central banks, disinflationary trends, momentum from artificial intelligence (AI) secular growth themes, stable 2024 corporate earnings estimates, and expectations for a soft landing or no landing for many developed economies. For the past six months, growth stocks outperformed value stocks by roughly 4%, with the MSCI ACWI Growth Index* gaining 22% and the MSCI ACWI Value Index** returning 18%. The equity sleeve historically has underperformed the benchmark MSCI ACWI (Net) when growth outperforms value, but this half-year period was an exception as the equity sleeve performed better than the benchmark.
Annualized rates of headline inflation continued to decline globally, but core rates of inflation remained well above the 2% target across most advanced economies and emerging markets. Food and rent prices remain uncomfortably elevated, but annualized inflation has declined steadily since peaking in June 2022. However, during the fourth quarter, economic growth weakened in China, turned negative in Germany and the U.K., and moderated in the U.S. The U.S. continued to perform significantly better than the other Group of Seven (G7) economies, where growth has stagnated from higher interest rates and persistent inflation.
In March, the Federal Reserve (Fed) held the federal funds rate steady at a target range of 5.25–5.50%, remaining at its highest level in more than 22 years. After implementing the fastest tightening cycle in four-plus decades, the U.S. central bank left monetary policy unchanged for the fifth consecutive meeting in March. In general, all major central banks followed the lead of the U.S., with the banks of England, China, Canada, and Korea and the European Central Bank holding rates constant during the quarter. One notable exception was the Bank of Japan, which announced an end to its yield curve control policy and instituted its first rate hike in 17 years. Many emerging market central banks in Latin America and Eastern Europe have ended their tightening cycle and begun easing monetary policy.
To deliver a higher dividend relative to the benchmark, the equity sleeve has greater exposure to dividend payers and less exposure to growth companies that do not pay dividends. The equity sleeve was overweight in the U.K./Ireland and Europe, as these regions have more stocks that pay a higher dividend. The equity sleeve was underweight to the U.S. and Asia
Pacific regions, and at period-end, it had no exposure to emerging markets. The strategy maintains an overweight in the financials, energy, and communication services sectors while it is underweight the health care, materials, and information technology (IT) sectors.
While U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar finished the six-month period at similar levels to where they started it, an uncertain and changing inflation outlook led to much volatility from start to finish. Due to rising fiscal deficits, stable growth, and ongoing strength in the labor market, inflation has proved stickier than investors hoped. The Fed expressed desire to see further improvement in inflation data and the market quickly repriced the number of expected rate cuts from six in mid-January all the way down to roughly one rate cut by period-end.
The “pivot” from a “higher for longer” interest rate environment to one that priced in six future cuts led to exceptionally strong returns in fixed income assets, including high yield. In the six months that ended April 30, 2024, the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index*** returned 8.94%. Financial conditions became easier, and nowhere was this more apparent than in the high yield market. The trailing 12-month default rate declined from 2.7% to 2.3%. High yield bond yields compressed to 8.20% from 9.51%, and high yield credit spreads tightened 127 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to 318 bps in option-adjusted spread, indicating a higher investor comfort level with risky assets.
The Fund’s high yield sleeve underperformed the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index in the six-month period that ended April 30, 2024. Werner FinCo, a building products company, and PRA Group, a debt collection company, were the sleeve’s best-performing individual credits. An underweight position to Level 3, a telecommunications company, also contributed. Enviva, a manufacturer of wood pellets that utilities burn in lieu of coal, and Community Health, a hospital chain, were the two worst-performing individual holdings. The high yield sleeve’s weighting in cash detracted from relative performance in a period of market advances.
Over the past six months, the high yield sleeve increased its allocations to BBB-rated bonds and to the financial services and health care sectors and reduced its allocations to the media and services sectors.

The option overlay* is a short-call strategy written on a portion of the Fund’s global equity allocation. The combined global equity and short option portfolio creates a global covered call portfolio. Over the long run, a covered call strategy aims to add yield and lower risk compared with a passive allocation to equity. The option overlay is expected to add value in flat-to-down global equity markets and in above-average volatility environments.

The equity sleeve benefited from stock selection within IT, industrials, and financials.
Investor enthusiasm over AI benefited several IT holdings during the period. Dell Technologies, Inc., surged 87%, while Broadcom, Inc., and Taiwan Semiconductor returned 55% and 60%, respectively. Two industrial holdings, EMCOR Group, which was purchased during the period, and nVent Electric PLC, generated strong quarterly earnings and returned+68% and+50%, respectively. Within financials, Citigroup, Inc., and 3i Group PLC, a U.K. private equity firm, rallied 58% and 55%, respectively. The equity sleeve also benefited from an underweight to consumer staples, which returned 9%, and was the worst-performing sector of the index during the six-month period.
Stock selection within health care, communication services, and utilities detracted from relative performance.
China Medical Systems sold off 41% over disappointing sales and China’s ongoing anti-graft program targeting the medical industry. During April, we sold out of our position in the stock due to deteriorating model ranks and an elevated risk of future earnings disappointments. Two U.S. pharmaceutical companies, Gilead Sciences and Pfizer, Inc., declined 16% and 14%, respectively, over mixed quarterly results and underwhelming forward guidance. Copel, a Brazilian state-owned electric utility, fell 5% over the period and we sold out of our position due to deteriorating model ranks.
The high yield sleeve took a barbelled approach.
Since October 2022, as rates have risen and spreads have modestly widened, the Fund’s high yield sleeve reinvested some of its shorter-maturity, higher-quality holdings into a combination of higher-yielding shorter maturities and higher-quality longer maturities. Its ratings allocation has incrementally moved toward a more “barbelled” position. The high yield team reduced BB-rated and B-rated bonds while increasing BBB-rated and CCC-rated bonds.
By sector, leisure and transportation services were most additive within high yield, while media entertainment and health care holdings were most detrimental. Dish Network and Fly Leasing** were our best-performing individual credits. Underweight allocations to Lumen Technologies and iHeart Communications also contributed. Gray Television** and Enviva
were the two worst-performing individual holdings.

The BXM is a benchmark index designed to track the performance of a hypothetical buy-write strategy on the S&P 500 Index. The BXY Index is a new index that uses the same methodology as BXM, but is calculated using out-of-the-money S&P 500 Index (SPX) call options, rather than at-the-money SPX call options. We adjust the benchmarks to assume 50% written on equity and report only the option return.

Leverage impact was positive.
The Fund’s use of leverage through bank borrowings had a positive impact on the NAV total return performance during this reporting period. As of April 30, 2024, the Fund had approximately 17.1% leverage as a percent of total assets.
Option overlay detracted during a period of strong equity performance.
Global equity markets performed strongly during this six-month period, with the MSCI ACWI (Net) returning 19.77%. The overall increase in equity valuation caused option-implied volatilities to decrease over this time. The option-implied volatility, as measured by the VIX Index,* decreased from 18.14% to a post-COVID-19 low of 12.07% on December 12, 2023. The equity pull-back in April caused option-implied volatilities to increase again, peaking at 19.23% on April 15, 2024, before easing to finish the period at 15.65%. As expected, the option overlay detracted from the Fund’s performance during the period as equity markets sharply increased
and volatility declined.

Credit quality as of April 30, 2024 1

1 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of the three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest).

The U.S. economy appears to be approaching a soft landing and will likely continue outperforming other developed markets.
As we enter May 2024, the lagged effects of tighter monetary policy and a withdrawal of COVID-19 fiscal stimulus are weighing on global growth. Gross domestic product growth is decelerating or stagnant across most developed and emerging markets, but most major economies are expected to avoid a hard landing in 2024. The labor market remains healthy, with strong employment gains and contained wage inflation. Higher short-term rates haven’t fully tamed inflation in the U.S., but core inflation remains on a downward trend. A resilient U.S. economy appears to be approaching a soft landing or no landing, and it is expected to continue outperforming other developed markets.
However, the recent hotter-than-expected inflation reports leave investors and central banks concerned about the stickiness of inflation and the need to keep rates higher for longer. The rebound in oil prices and elevated geopolitical concerns add further pressure to the inflation narrative. Without a significant deterioration in the labor market, the anticipated rate cut cycle by major central banks is likely to be further delayed or reduced.
After the concentrated mega-cap rally of 2023 and early 2024, equity markets are likely to be defined by slowing global economic growth, single-digit earnings growth, and a broadening of returns. Volatility is anticipated amid a highly contentious U.S. presidential election year and ongoing geopolitical tensions surrounding Ukraine, the Middle East, and Taiwan. Given this backdrop, we expect 2024 to provide opportunities for disciplined stock selection to add value.
The Fund’s equity team anticipates volatile and range-bound markets, but there are potential positive catalysts from decelerating inflation, a resilient jobs market, improving corporate earnings, and a broadening of market
returns.

The high yield outlook is positive.
A “Goldilocks” economic environment—moderate growth and inflation that eventually recedes toward the Fed’s desired long-term target—creates a positive backdrop for high yield. Issuer balance sheets are generally healthy. Leverage and coverage ratios compare favorably to

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Market Volatility Index (VIX) is a popular measure of the implied volatility of S&P 500 Index options. It represents one measure of the market’s expectation of stock market volatility over the next 30-day period. You cannot invest directly in an index.

prior periods. Lower-quality credits have regained access to the new-issue market, reducing the number of near-maturity bonds that require refinancing. This reduces defaults and keeps distressed capital structures contained to just the cable, media, and telecom sectors. At period-end, on a historical basis, corporate spreads were tight but yields were attractive. Considered alongside a constructive economic and default outlook, investors have chosen to buy “attractive yield” over “selling tight spread.” Avoiding idiosyncratic distress while maintaining a high level of income is the main challenge faced by the high yield sleeve—and one the managers will tackle through careful security selection.
Higher levels of volatility are expected by the option overlay team.
Looking forward, the option overlay team expects implied volatility to increase, reflecting market participants’ concerns around inflation in the U.S. and the expected Fed policy response. Higher levels of volatility could present a good opportunity for the Fund’s option overlay strategy to contribute to returns.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Notes to financial statements
1.
ORGANIZATION
Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 21, 2006 and is registered as a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Equity securities and exchange-traded funds that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price.
The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Valuation Committee at Allspring Funds Management, LLC (“Allspring Funds Management”).
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign securities are traded, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, then fair value pricing procedures implemented by Allspring Funds Management are applied. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Foreign securities that are fair valued under these procedures are categorized as Level 2 and the application of these procedures may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. Depending on market activity, such fair valuations may be frequent. Such fair value pricing may result in net asset values that are higher or lower than net asset values based on the last reported sales price or latest quoted bid price. On April 30, 2024, such fair value pricing was used in pricing certain foreign securities.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g., taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Valuation Committee at Allspring Funds Management.
Options that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the closing mid-price. Non-listed options are valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies (other than those listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market) are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by Allspring Funds Management, which was named the valuation designee by the Board of Trustees. As the valuation designee, Allspring Funds Management is responsible for day-to-day valuation activities for the Allspring Funds. In connection with these responsibilities, Allspring Funds Management has established a Valuation Committee and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of Allspring Funds Management’s process for determining the fair value of the portfolio of investments.
Foreign currency translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Valuation Committee. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are converted at the rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually paid or received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities resulting from changes in exchange rates. The changes in net assets arising from
32 | Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
changes in exchange rates of securities and the changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities are not separately presented. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Loans
The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders by corporate or other borrowers. The loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. Investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When the Fund purchases participations, it generally has no rights to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan and may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. Loans may include fully funded term loans or unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments represent the remaining obligation of the Fund to the borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the borrower may demand the unfunded portion. Unfunded amounts, if any, are marked to market and any unrealized gains or losses are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Forward foreign currency contracts
A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund enters into forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate and marked-to-market daily. When the contracts are closed, realized gains and losses arising from such transactions are recorded as realized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund is subject to foreign currency risk and may be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized gains on the contracts. This risk may be mitigated if there is a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty.
Options
The Fund may write covered call options or secured put options on individual securities and/or indexes. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option. Premiums received from written options that expire unexercised are recognized as realized gains on the expiration date. For exercised options, the difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as a realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in calculating the realized gain or loss on the sale. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost of the security purchased. The Fund, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security and/or index underlying the written option.
The Fund may also purchase call or put options. Premiums paid are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as investments, the values of which are subsequently adjusted based on the current market values of the options. Premiums paid for purchased options that expire are recognized as realized losses on the expiration date. Premiums paid for purchased options that are exercised or closed are added to the amount paid or offset against the proceeds received for the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to the premium paid.
Options traded on an exchange are regulated and terms of the options are standardized. The Fund is subject to equity price risk. Purchased options traded over-the-counter expose the Fund to counterparty risk in the event the counterparty does not perform. This risk can be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has
Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund | 33

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Interest earned on cash balances held at the custodian is recorded as interest income.
Distributions received from REIT investments may be characterized as ordinary income, capital gains, or a return of capital to the Fund based on information provided by the REIT. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, estimates may be used in reporting the character of income and distributions for financial statement purposes.
Distributions to shareholders
Under a managed distribution plan, the Fund pays quarterly distributions to shareholders at an annual minimum fixed rate of 9.00% based on the Fund’s average monthly net asset value per share over the prior 12 months. The quarterly distributions may be sourced from income, paid-in capital, and/or capital gains, if any. To the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Fund may distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital, if any, in order to maintain its managed distribution level.
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns, as applicable, for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of April 30, 2024, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $225,286,527 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:

Gross unrealized gains | $61,426,857
Gross unrealized losses | (10,830,953 )
Net unrealized gains | $50,595,904

As of October 31, 2023, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $148,097,152 in short-term capital losses and $9,065,525 in long-term capital losses.

FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
•Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
•Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
•Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares with no par value. For the six months ended April 30, 2024 and year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund issued 0 and 14,291 shares, respectively.
Under an open-market share repurchase program (the “Buyback Program”), the Fund is authorized to repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares in open market transactions. The Fund’s Board of Trustees has delegated to Allspring Funds Management full discretion to administer the Buyback Program including the determination of the amount and timing of repurchases in accordance with the best interests of the Fund and subject to applicable legal limitations. During the six months ended April 30, 2024, the Fund repurchased 177,479 of its shares on the open market at a total cost of $779,930 (weighted average price per share of $4.38).

BORROWINGS
The Fund has borrowed $47,500,000 through a revolving line of credit administered by a major financial institution (the “Facility”). The Facility has a commitment amount of up to $47,500,000. The Fund is charged interest at the 1 Month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a spread and a commitment fee based on the unutilized amount of the commitment amount. The financial institution holds a security interest in all the assets of the Fund as collateral for the borrowing. Based on the nature of the terms of the Facility and comparative market rates, the carrying amount of the borrowings at April 30, 2024 approximates its fair value. If measured at fair value, the borrowings would be categorized as a Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.

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

Counterparty | Gross amounts of liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | Amounts subject to netting agreements | Collateral pledged 1 | Net amount of liabilities
Morgan Stanley Co. | $704,392 | $0 | $(704,392 ) | $0

1 | Collateral pledged within this table is limited to the collateral for the net transaction with the counterparty.

10.INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
11.SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS
Under the managed distribution plan, on May 30, 2024, the Fund declared a distribution of $0.11130 per share payable on July 1, 2024 to common shareholders of record on June 13, 2024. This distribution is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Recent amendments to the Fund’s by-laws
On December 19, 2023, with subsequent additional amendments approved April 16, 2024, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved the adoption of Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Fund (the “By-Laws”). The By-Laws, among other things, contain modified procedural and informational requirements in connection with any advance notice of shareholder proposals or nominations, including certain information about the proponent and the proposal, or in the case of a Trustee nomination, the nominee. Any shareholder considering making a Trustee nomination or other proposal should carefully review and comply with those provisions of the By-Laws. Furthermore, in determining whether a particular nominee is qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has an interest in the nominee’s background, skills, experience and other attributes in light of the composition of the Board. The By-Laws now include qualifications and requirements for Trustee eligibility. Additionally, the By-Laws have changed the voting standard required for election as a Trustee. The By-Laws now provide that the affirmative vote of a majority of shares outstanding and entitled to vote in an election is required to elect a Trustee in a contested election with a plurality of shares outstanding required to elect a Trustee in an uncontested election. The new voting standard will apply to all future elections of Trustees. The foregoing discussion is only a high-level summary of certain aspects of the By-Laws and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the By-Laws. Shareholders should refer to the By-Laws for more information, which can be found in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission (available at www.sec.gov).
Delaware statutory trust act – control share acquisitions
Because the Fund is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, it is subject to the control share acquisition statute (the “Control Share Statute”) contained in Subchapter III of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “DSTA”), which became automatically applicable to listed closed-end funds, such as the Fund, upon its effective date of August 1, 2022 (the “Effective Date”).
The Control Share Statute provides for a series of voting power thresholds above which shares are considered control shares. The first such threshold is 10% or more, but less than 15%, of all voting power. Voting power is defined by the Control Share Statute as the power to directly or indirectly exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of Fund shares in the election of trustees. Whether a voting power threshold is met is determined by aggregating the holdings of the acquirer as well as those of its “associates,” as defined by the Control Share Statute.
Once a threshold is reached, an acquirer has no voting rights under the DSTA or the governing documents of the Fund with respect to shares acquired in excess of that threshold (i.e., the “control shares”) unless approved by shareholders or exempted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Approval by shareholders requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares held by the acquirer and its associates as well as shares held by certain insiders of the Fund. The Control Share Statute provides procedures for an acquirer to request a shareholder meeting for the purpose of considering whether voting rights shall be accorded to control shares. Further approval by the Fund’s shareholders would be

Other information (unaudited)
required with respect to additional acquisitions of control shares above the next applicable threshold level. In addition, the Fund’s Board of Trustees is permitted, but not obligated to, exempt specific acquisitions or classes of acquisitions of control shares, either in advance or retroactively.
The Control Share Statute does not retroactively apply to acquisitions of shares that occurred prior to the Effective Date. However, such shares will be aggregated with any shares acquired after the Effective Date for purposes of determining whether a voting power threshold is exceeded, resulting in the newly acquired shares constituting control shares.
The Control Share Statute requires shareholders to disclose to the Fund any control share acquisition within 10 days of such acquisition and, upon request, to provide any information that the Fund’s Board of Trustees reasonably believes is necessary or desirable to determine whether a control share acquisition has occurred.
The foregoing is only a summary of certain aspects of the Control Share Statute. Shareholders should consult their own legal counsel to determine the application of the Control Share Statute with respect to their shares of the Fund and any subsequent acquisitions of shares.

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