\nUnder the terms of its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund seeks to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid, in part or in full, from net investment income and realized capital gains, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if the Fund’s aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level, the difference will be distributed from the Fund’s assets and will constitute a return of the shareholder’s capital. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund\u2019s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund\u2019s Managed Distribution Plan.\n<\/p>\n

\nInformation regarding the Fund\u2019s performance and distribution rates is set forth below. Please note that all performance figures are based on the Fund\u2019s net asset value (NAV) and not the market price of the Fund\u2019s shares. Performance figures are not meant to represent individual shareholder performance.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
