* Please note that the distributions paid by the fund to shareholders are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes. The final tax treatment of these distributions is reported to shareholders on their 1099-DIV forms, which are mailed to shareholders after the close of each fiscal year.  Under its level distribution policy, the Fund anticipates that it will make subsequent regular monthly distributions, subject to market conditions, of $0.115 per share, unless further action is taken to determine another amount. There is no assurance that the Fund will always be able to pay a distribution of any particular size, or that a distribution will consist of only net investment income. The Fund’s ability to maintain a stable distribution will depend on a number of factors, including the stability of income received from its investments, availability of capital gains, distributions paid on preferred shares and the level of Fund expenses.
