MANAGED DISTRIBUITON POLICY

The Fund has a managed distribution policy (the Policy) which permits the Fund to make quarterly distributions at an annualized rate of 5% of the Fund's net assets to shareholders of record. The Fund intends, to the extent possible, to use net realized capital gains when making quarterly distributions. However, implementation of the policy could result in a return of capital to shareholders if the amount of the distribution exceeds the Fund's net investment income and realized capital gains. Under the Policy realized capital gains in excess of the total distributed  would be included in the December distribution. The Policy is to declare distributions in stock, unless otherwise instructed by the shareholder. The Fund's distribution policy has been established by the Board of Trustees. The distribution policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
