Semi-Annual Report
April 30, 2025

Notice to Shareholders
• On November 14, 2024, 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, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2025. 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 normally invests in approximately 60 to 80 securities, broadly diversified among major sectors and regions. The sector and region weights are typically within+/- 5 percent of weights in the MSCI ACWI (Net)†. The remaining approximately 20% of the 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 9.64% for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2025. During the same period, the Fund’s return based on its net asset value (NAV) was 5.62%. Based on both its market value and its NAV return, the Fund outperformed the Global Dividend Opportunity Blended Index, which returned 1.05% for the period.
Global equities were mixed to end 2024 and begin 2025.
Global equity returns were muted over the six months that ended April 30, 2025, as financial markets were affected by slower economic activity, a pullback in momentum from artificial intelligence (AI) secular growth themes, and volatile tariff policy headlines. For the past six months, international value stocks outperformed growth stocks by roughly 0.6%, with the MSCI ACWI Value Index* gaining 1.2% and the MSCI ACWI Growth Index** returning 0.6%. The Fund’s equity sleeve historically has outperformed the benchmark MSCI ACWI (Net) when value outperforms growth, as occurred over the trailing six-month period.
Annualized gross domestic product (GDP) in the G20 (Group of Twenty) area expanded by an annualized rate of 3.2% during the fourth quarter, up slightly from the 2.8% pace of growth in the prior quarter. Economic growth within Turkey, India, China, Argentina, and Indonesia increased the most during the quarter, while growth declined in Mexico, Germany, and France. Following the third quarter’s 3.1% pace of GDP growth, U.S. annualized real GDP decelerated to 2.3% during the fourth quarter of 2024. U.S. GDP growth was sparked by strong consumer and government spending, offsetting a slight decrease in investment and imports. The consensus estimates for first quarter real GDP growth reflect a cooling outlook for the U.S. economy with considerable downside for the most pessimistic estimates.
In March, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) maintained the federal funds rate at a target range of 4.25–4.50%. The Federal Reserve (Fed) paused for a second straight meeting following three consecutive rate cuts that began in September 2024. Slower economic activity, particularly in Europe, eased price pressures in the services sector, paving the way for major central banks to implement gradual rate cuts. The Bank of England and the European Central Bank lowered rates by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) and 50 bps, respectively. The People’s Bank of China maintained the base interest rate on one-year loans at 3.10%. One notable exception was the Bank of Japan, which raised its policy rate by 25 bps to 0.50%.
In seeking 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 the U.S. and emerging markets. The strategy maintains an overweight in the financials, real estate, and energy sectors while it is underweight the
industrials, materials, and consumer discretionary sectors.

The equity sleeve benefited from stock selection within financials, information technology (IT), and consumer staples.
Positive stock selection within the financials sector contributed to significant returns for the portfolio. Sompo Holdings, Inc., surged 51%, while 3i Group plc and UniCredit SpA. returned 40% and 36%, respectively. Two IT holdings, InterDigital, Inc., and SAP SE, generated strong earnings and returned 34% and 24%, respectively. Within consumer staples, Coca-Cola HBC AG and Walmart, Inc. rallied 50% and 19%, respectively. The equity sleeve also benefited from an underweight to IT, which returned -5% within the MSCI ACWI (Net) and was the worst-performing sector of the index during the six-month period.
Stock selection within energy, industrials, and consumer discretionary detracted from relative performance.
Diamondback Energy, Inc., sold off 27% on lower revenues, disappointing capex spending, and volatile free-cash-flow characteristics. During March, the equity sleeve managers sold out of the position in Diamondback in response to deteriorating model ranks and an elevated risk of future earnings disappointments. Two U.S. industrials companies, Ferguson Enterprises, Inc. and Owens Corning, declined 20% and 17%, respectively, over mixed quarterly results and faltering momentum. The sleeve sold out of its position in Ferguson Enterprises, Inc. during the period, also due to deteriorating model rankings.

The global economy is volatile and uncertain.
As of May 2025, the entire world waits to see how tariffs will continue to affect the economic landscape and global trade. The initial tariff announcements from April 2 sent global markets into a landslide, only to bounce back after a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. The uncertainty related to the global tariff policy outlook—specifically with China, where tariffs remain high—has caused businesses and individuals to adopt a wait-and-see approach to investment and consumption. As trade negotiations and agreements have progressed, it remains unclear how the broader global landscape will react to rapidly changing market sentiment.
On monetary policy, there is significant room for policy easing, which could help offset the negative effects from higher tariffs or tightening fiscal policy. However, the fear of the inflationary impact of tariffs is expected to keep the Fed on the sidelines until there is tangible evidence of a deterioration in the economy or financial stability concerns. In the press conference after the March FOMC meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell suggested there would be scope for the Fed to look through the impact of tariffs on prices, even going as far as to repeat the “transitory” term that caused the Fed to react too slowly to inflation resulting from the pandemic. As a result, the Fed is expected to cut rates a couple of times by the end of 2025 as inflation comes back down.
Given the economic, geopolitical, and market backdrop, we anticipate volatile and range-bound markets. The equity team will seek to neutralize the sleeve’s exposures to macroeconomic and geopolitical risks where possible. While cautious, they will look to take advantage of market volatility to invest in companies with strong fundamentals at reasonable prices. As the team monitors the macroeconomic environment, they will continue to diligently focus on company fundamentals and disciplined portfolio risk management.
Option overlay contributed during a period of mixed equity performance.
The option overlay* is a short-call strategy written on a portion of the Fund’s global equity allocation. The combined global equity and short option portfolio creates a global covered call portfolio. Over the long run, a covered call strategy aims to add yield and lower risk compared with a passive allocation to equity. The option overlay is expected to add value in flat-to-down global equity markets and in above-average volatility environments.
Global equity markets were flat/slightly positive during this six-month period, with the MSCI ACWI (Net) returning 0.88%. The mixed performance in equities caused option-implied volatility, as measured by the VIX Index**, to increase. The VIX Index decreased in the early portion of the period during the U.S. postelection rally, with a low of 12.70 in early December. However, the equity pull-back in March and early April caused the VIX to spike to 60.13 on April 7, 2025, before easing to finish the period at 24.70. The option overlay contributed to the Fund’s performance on an
absolute basis during the period as equity markets were mixed and
volatility increased.

Elevated levels of volatility are expected by the option overlay team.
Looking forward, the option overlay team expects implied volatility to remain elevated, reflecting market participants’ concerns about tariffs and their impact on equity markets. Higher levels of volatility could present a good opportunity for the Fund’s option overlay strategy to contribute to returns.
* The option overlay is compared with the option-only returns of the U.S.-based covered call benchmarks, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) S&P 500 Buy Write (BXM) Index and the CBOE S&P 500 2% OTM Buy Write (BXY) Index. The BXM is a benchmark index designed to track the performance of a hypothetical buy-write strategy on the S&P 500 Index. The BXY Index is a new index that uses the same methodology as BXM, but is calculated using out-of-the-money S&P 500 Index (SPX) call options, rather than at-the-money SPX call options. We adjust the benchmarks to assume 50% written on equity and report only the option return. The unadjusted BXM Index and BXY Index returned 9.70% and 14.08%, respectively, from October 31, 2024 to April 30, 2025. You cannot invest directly in an index.
** 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.

Yields on high yield bonds rose and credit spreads widened.
In the six months that ended April 30, 2025, the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index* returned 1.64%. High yield bond yields increased to 7.91% from 7.35%, and high yield credit spreads widened 111 bps to 394 bps in option-adjusted spread. Although the trailing 12-month default rate fell to 1.1%, risk premiums, as measured by credit spreads, grew to reflect the uncertainty that new tariff policies might have on the economy.
The high yield sleeve outperformed the broader high yield market, helped by security selection in health care.
The Fund’s high yield sleeve outperformed the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index in the six-month period that ended April 30, 2025. By sector, IT and pharmaceuticals were most additive to relative performance within the high yield sleeve while utilities and building products holdings were most detrimental. Multiplan, a health care data and technology provider, and Bausch, a pharmaceutical company, were our two best-performing individual credits. Modivcare, a provider of non-emergency transportation, and Saks, a department store and specialty retailer, were the two worst-performing individual holdings.
The high yield sleeve moved up the credit rating spectrum.
Over the past six months, the high yield sleeve increased its allocation to single-B-rated bonds and reduced its exposure to CCC-rated bonds. The sleeve increased its allocations to the telecommunications and real estate sectors and reduced its exposure to the gas distribution and advertising sectors.
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 period. As of April 30, 2025, the Fund had approximately 16.6% leverage as a percentage of total assets.
Higher-quality high yield credits expected to weather uncertainty.
The “Goldilocks” economic environment—moderate growth and falling inflation—that we experienced in 2024 now faces policy uncertainty. The extent and degree to which this uncertainty changes economic behavior and outcomes is unclear. What is clear is that issuer balance sheets, as well as leverage and coverage ratios, enter this period of uncertainty in a healthy condition. Thus, we believe higher-quality credits have the financial flexibility to survive a period of slower growth. Conversely, CCC-rated credits have lost access to the new-issue market for the past two months. While the trailing 12-month default rate is just 1.1%, slower growth portends rising defaults and stifles spread compression. This is
why we prefer higher-quality credits. Relative to recent history, all-in yields continue to be attractive, which may explain the resilient performance of higher-quality credits during the recent bout of volatility. Returns that approximate coupon income are possible in a slower growth, volatile
environment, but they require careful security selection.

Credit quality as of April 30, 2025 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). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

Notes to financial statements
1.
ORGANIZATION
Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 21, 2006 and is registered as a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Equity securities and exchange-traded funds that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price.
The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Valuation Committee at Allspring Funds Management, LLC (“Allspring Funds Management”).
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign securities are traded, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, then fair value pricing procedures implemented by Allspring Funds Management are applied. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Foreign securities that are fair valued under these procedures are categorized as Level 2 and the application of these procedures may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. Depending on market activity, such fair valuations may be frequent. Such fair value pricing may result in net asset values that are higher or lower than net asset values based on the last reported sales price or latest quoted bid price. On April 30, 2025, 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
28 | 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 sell a security it does not own as a result of an exercised written call option. The Fund records the proceeds as a liability which is marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or an independent broker-dealer and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Any interest or dividends accrued on such securities during the period are recorded as an expense on the Statement of operations. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the closing of a short sale if the market price at the closing is less than or greater than, respectively, the proceeds originally received.
The Fund may also purchase call or put options. Premiums paid are included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as investments, the values of which are subsequently adjusted based on the current market values of the options. Premiums paid for purchased options that expire are recognized as realized losses on the expiration date. Premiums paid for purchased options that are exercised or closed are added to the amount paid or offset against the proceeds received for the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to the premium paid.
Options traded on an exchange are regulated and terms of the options are standardized. The Fund is subject to equity price risk. Purchased options traded over-the-counter expose the Fund to counterparty risk in the event the counterparty does not perform. This risk can be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund | 29

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status. Paydown gains and losses are included in interest income.
Interest earned on cash balances held at the custodian is recorded as interest income.
Distributions received from REIT investments may be characterized as ordinary income, capital gains, or a return of capital to the Fund based on information provided by the REIT. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, estimates may be used in reporting the character of income and distributions for financial statement purposes.
Distributions to shareholders
Under a managed distribution plan, the Fund pays quarterly distributions to shareholders at an annual minimum fixed rate of 9.00% based on the Fund’s average monthly net asset value per share over the prior 12 months. The quarterly distributions may be sourced from income, paid-in capital, and/or capital gains, if any. To the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Fund may distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital, if any, in order to maintain its managed distribution level.
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the 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, 2025, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $236,074,235 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:

Gross unrealized gains | $62,913,719
Gross unrealized losses | (14,237,829 )
Net unrealized gains | $48,675,890

As of October 31, 2024, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $141,622,698 in short-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.

Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund did not have any interfund transactions during the six months ended April 30, 2025.
5.
CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares with no par value. For the six months ended April 30, 2025 and year ended October 31, 2024, the Fund did not issue any shares.
Under an open-market share repurchase program (the “Buyback Program”), the Fund is authorized to repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares in open market transactions. The Fund’s Board of Trustees has delegated to Allspring Funds Management full discretion to administer the Buyback Program including the determination of the amount and timing of repurchases in accordance with the best interests of the Fund and subject to applicable legal limitations. During the six months ended April 30, 2025, the Fund did not repurchase any of its shares under the open-market share repurchase program. During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Fund purchased 177,479 of its shares on the open market at a total cost of $779,930.
6.
BORROWINGS
The Fund has borrowed $47,500,000 through a revolving line of credit administered by a major financial institution (the “Facility”). The Facility has a commitment amount of up to $47,500,000. The Fund is charged interest at the 1 Month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a spread and a commitment fee based on the unutilized amount of the commitment amount. The financial institution holds a security interest in all the assets of the Fund as collateral for the borrowing. Based on the nature of the terms of the Facility and comparative market rates, the carrying amount of the borrowings at April 30, 2025 approximates its fair value. If measured at fair value, the borrowings would be categorized as a Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.
During the six months ended April 30, 2025, the Fund had average borrowings outstanding of $47,500,000 (on an annualized basis) at an average interest rate of 5.25% and recorded interest in the amount of $1,235,777, which represents 1.03% of its average daily net assets (on an annualized basis).

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended April 30, 2025 were $90,518,397 and $100,064,689, respectively.
8.
DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended April 30, 2025, the Fund entered into written options for income generation and hedging purposes. The Fund had an average of 8,116 written option contracts during the six months ended April 30, 2025.
The fair value, realized gains or losses and change in unrealized gains or losses, if any, on derivative instruments are reflected in the corresponding financial statement captions.
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
32 | Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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. | $2,667,405 | $0 | $(2,667,405 ) | $0

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

9.
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.
10.SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS
Under the managed distribution plan, the Fund declared the following distributions to common shareholders:

Declaration date | Record date | Payable date | Per share amount
May 29,2025 | June 12,2025 | July 1,2025 | $0.12640

These distributions are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
11.OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Fund has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in 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 President of the Fund acts as the Fund’s CODM. For the periods presented, the Fund operated as a single operating segment. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation from which it derives its revenue is determined as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio management team. The portfolio composition, total return and expense ratios, and the components of total increase/decrease in net assets are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s single segment. This information is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of assets and liabilities as “total assets” and significant segment revenue and expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of operations.

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
34 | Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund

Other information (unaudited)
direct the exercise of the voting power of Fund shares in the election of trustees. Whether a voting power threshold is met is determined by aggregating the holdings of the acquirer as well as those of its “associates,” as defined by the Control Share Statute.
Once a threshold is reached, an acquirer has no voting rights under the DSTA or the governing documents of the Fund with respect to shares acquired in excess of that threshold (i.e., the “control shares”) unless approved by shareholders or exempted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Approval by shareholders requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares held by the acquirer and its associates as well as shares held by certain insiders of the Fund. The Control Share Statute provides procedures for an acquirer to request a shareholder meeting for the purpose of considering whether voting rights shall be accorded to control shares. Further approval by the Fund’s shareholders would be required with respect to additional acquisitions of control shares above the next applicable threshold level. In addition, the Fund’s Board of Trustees is permitted, but not obligated to, exempt specific acquisitions or classes of acquisitions of control shares, either in advance or retroactively.
The Control Share Statute does not retroactively apply to acquisitions of shares that occurred prior to the Effective Date. However, such shares will be aggregated with any shares acquired after the Effective Date for purposes of determining whether a voting power threshold is exceeded, resulting in the newly acquired shares constituting control shares.
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.

MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The Portfolio Managers face inherent conflicts of interest in their day-to-day management of the Funds and other accounts because the Funds may have different investment objectives, strategies and risk profiles than the other accounts managed by the Portfolio Managers. For instance, to the extent that the Portfolio Managers manage accounts with different investment strategies than the Funds, they may from time to time be inclined to purchase securities, including initial public offerings, for one account but not for a Fund. Additionally, some of the accounts managed by the Portfolio Managers may have different fee structures, including performance fees, which are or have the potential to be higher or lower, in some cases significantly higher or lower, than the fees paid by the Funds. The differences in fee structures may provide an incentive to the Portfolio Managers to allocate more favorable trades to the higher-paying accounts.

To minimize the effects of these inherent conflicts of interest, the Sub-Adviser has adopted and implemented policies and procedures, including brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures, that it believes address the potential conflicts associated with managing portfolios for multiple clients and are designed to ensure that all clients are treated fairly and equitably. Accordingly, security block purchases are allocated to all accounts with similar objectives in a fair and equitable manner. Furthermore, the Sub-Adviser has adopted a Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of1940 (the “Advisers Act”) to address potential conflicts associated with managing the Funds and any personal accounts the Portfolio Managers may maintain.

Allspring Investments

Allspring Global Investments, LLC (“Allspring Investments”) Portfolio Managers often provide investment management for separate accounts advised in the same or similar investment style as that provided to mutual funds. While management of multiple accounts could potentially lead to conflicts of interest over various issues such as trade allocation, fee disparities and research acquisition, Allspring Investments has implemented policies and procedures for the express purpose of ensuring that clients are treated fairly and that potential conflicts of interest are minimized.

COMPENSATION

The Portfolio Managers were compensated by their employing sub-adviser from the fees the Adviser paid the Sub-Adviser using the following compensation structure:

Allspring Investments

The compensation structure for Allspring Investments’ Portfolio Managers includes a competitive fixed base salary plus variable incentives, payable annually and over a deferred period. Allspring Investments participates in third party investment management compensation surveys for market-based compensation information to help support individual pay decisions and to ensure our compensation is aligned with the marketplace. In addition to surveys, Allspring Investments also considers prior professional experience, tenure, seniority, and a Portfolio Manager’s team size, scope, and assets under management when determining his/her total compensation. In addition, Portfolio Managers who meet the eligibility requirements may participate in our 401(k) plan that features a limited matching contribution. Eligibility for and participation in this plan is on the same basis for all employees.

Allspring Investments’ investment incentive program plays an important role in aligning the interests of its Portfolio Managers, investment team members, clients, and shareholders. Incentive awards for Portfolio Managers are determined based on a review of relative investment and business/team performance. Investment performance is generally evaluated for 1, 3, and 5 year performance results, with a predominant weighting on the 3 and 5 year time periods, versus the relevant benchmarks and/or peer groups consistent with the investment style.

Once determined, incentives are awarded to Portfolio Managers annually, with a portion awarded as annual cash and a portion awarded as a deferred incentive. The long-term portion of incentives generally carry a pro-rated vesting schedule over a 3 year period. For many of its Portfolio Managers, Allspring Investments further requires a portion of their annual long-term award be allocated directly into each strategy they manage through a deferred compensation vehicle. In addition, investment team members who are eligible for long term awards also have the opportunity to invest up to 100% of their awards into investment strategies they support (through a deferred compensation vehicle).

As an independent firm, approximately 20% of Allspring Group Holdings, LLC (of which Allspring Investments is a subsidiary) is owned by employees, including Portfolio Managers.
