WHEATON, Ill. -- (Business Wire)
The Board of Trustees of First Trust Dynamic Europe Equity Income Fund
(the "Fund") (NYSE: FDEU), CUSIP 33740D107, previously approved a
managed distribution policy for the Fund (the "Managed Distribution
Plan") in reliance on exemptive relief received from the Securities and
Exchange Commission which permits the Fund to make periodic
distributions of long-term capital gains as frequently as monthly each
tax year.
The Fund has declared a distribution payable on February 15, 2019, to
shareholders of record as of February 4, 2019, with an ex-dividend date
of February 1, 2019. This Notice is meant to provide you information
about the sources of your Fund’s distributions. You should not draw any
conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of
its distribution or from the terms of its Managed Distribution Plan.
The following tables set forth the estimated amounts of the current
distribution and the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year to
date for the Fund from the following sources: net investment income
("NII"); net realized short-term capital gains ("STCG"); net realized
long-term capital gains ("LTCG"); and return of capital ("ROC"). These
estimates are based upon information as of January 31, 2019, are
calculated based on a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
basis and include the prior fiscal year-end undistributed net investment
income. The amounts and sources of distributions are expressed per
common share.

(1) Includes the most recent monthly distribution paid on February
15, 2019.
(2) The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than
its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your
distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur,
for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund
is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not
necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be
confused with "yield" or "income."
(3) Based on
Net Asset Value ("NAV") as of January 31, 2019.
(4) Total
Returns are through January 31, 2019. The return included in the 5 Year
Average Annual Total Return on NAV column is from the Fund's first
public offering, which was September 24, 2015.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are
only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes.
The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes
will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder
of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax
regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar
year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal
income tax purposes. You should not use this Notice as a substitute for
your Form 1099-DIV.

Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment return
and market value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares,
when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. There can
be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved.
The Fund may not be appropriate for all investors.
Principal Risk Factors: The Fund is subject to risks, including the fact
that it is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company.
Because the Fund will invest primarily in securities of non-U.S.
issuers, which are generally denominated in non-U.S. currencies, there
are risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S.
issuers. Non-U.S. issuers are subject to higher volatility than
securities of U.S. issuers. An investor may lose money if the local
currency of a non-U.S. market depreciates against the U.S. dollar.
Investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market
countries are considered speculative and there is a heightened risk of
investing in emerging markets securities.
The Fund will engage in practices and strategies that will result in
exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, thus subjecting it
to foreign currency risk.
The Fund's use of derivatives may result in losses greater than if they
had not been used, may require the Fund to sell or purchase portfolio
securities at inopportune times, may limit the amount of appreciation
the Fund can realize on an investment, or may cause the Fund to hold a
security that it might otherwise sell.
Use of leverage can result in additional risk and cost, and can magnify
the effect of any losses.
The risks of investing in the Fund are spelled out in the prospectus,
shareholder reports and other regulatory filings.
The information presented is not intended to constitute an investment
recommendation for, or advice to, any specific person. By providing this
information, First Trust is not undertaking to give advice in any
fiduciary capacity within the meaning of ERISA and the Internal Revenue
Code. First Trust has no knowledge of and has not been provided any
information regarding any investor. Financial advisors must determine
whether particular investments are appropriate for their clients. First
Trust believes the financial advisor is a fiduciary, is capable of
evaluating investment risks independently and is responsible for
exercising independent judgment with respect to its retirement plan
clients.
