The above funds have adopted a managed distribution plan. Under a
managed distribution plan, to the extent that sufficient investment
income is not available on a monthly basis, the fund will distribute
long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to maintain
its managed distribution level. Investors 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 fund’s managed
distribution plan.
The Board of the fund may amend the terms of the plan or terminate the
plan at any time without prior notice to the fund's shareholders. The
amendment or termination of a plan could have an adverse effect on the
market price of the fund’s common shares. The plan will be subject to
periodic review by the Board. With each distribution that does not
consist solely of net investment income, the fund will issue a notice to
shareholders and an accompanying press release which will provide
detailed information regarding the amount and estimated composition of
the distribution and other related information.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported above 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 its full fiscal
year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The fund
will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will
tell them how to report these distributions for federal income tax
purposes. The fund may at times distribute more than its net investment
income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the
distribution may result in a return of capital. A return of capital may
occur, for example, when some or all of the money that shareholders
invested in the fund is paid back to them. A return of capital does not
necessarily reflect a fund’s investment performance and should not be
confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. Any such returns of capital will
decrease the fund's total assets and, therefore, could have the effect
of increasing the fund's expense ratio. In addition, in order to make
the level of distributions called for under its plan, the fund may have
to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.
