The Board of Directors of the Fund (the \u201cBoard\u201d) may terminate or modify the parameters of the LDP at any time without prior notice to the Fund\u2019s shareholders if circumstances warrant. The amendment or termination of the LDP could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund\u2019s common shares.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Distributions will be made primarily in cash but under the Fund\u2019s dividend-reinvestment plan, distributions will be made in Fund shares unless a shareholder has elected to receive cash. Shares held with a broker-dealer will receive distributions in cash.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Under the LDP, distributions may be derived from any combination of: (i) net investment income, (ii) realized capital gains, and\/or (iii) a return of shareholder capital. Distributions of long-term capital gain may be restricted under SEC regulations. The Fund has received SEC exemptive relief to permit the Fund to make more frequent distributions of capital gain than otherwise contemplated by such restrictions, subject to various conditions. As of the date hereof, the Fund has not relied on the exemptive relief to make such distributions. The actual composition for each fiscal year will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV after year-end. Estimates provided in any monthly notice or in this press release are not intended for tax-reporting purposes and should not be relied upon as such.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">An investor should not draw any conclusions about the Fund\u2019s investment performance from the amount of any distribution or from the terms of the LDP. When the Fund refers to the possibility of a return of shareholder capital, this generally would occur if the Fund has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gain; in that case, some or all of the money that a shareholder invested in the Fund is paid back to the shareholder. A return of capital distribution, if any, does not necessarily reflect the Fund\u2019s investment performance and should not be confused with \u201cyield\u201d or \u201cincome\u201d. Amounts and sources of distributions reported in notices accompanying a distribution are estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund\u2019s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Fund cannot predict what effect, if any, the LDP will have on the market price of its shares, or whether such market price will trade at a narrower or wider discount to the net asset value compared to levels prior to the adoption of the LDP.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Continued Focus on Long-Term Value<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Today\u2019s announcement represents the Fund\u2019s objective to deliver competitive performance and stable distributions to shareholders.
