following the close of business on December 15, 2021. The
termination and liquidation were performed in accordance with the

income and to return $9.85 per common share of beneficial interest
of the Fund (the “Original NAV”) to holders of such shares on or
about February 1, 2022. The investment objective to return Original
NAV was not a guarantee.

COVID-19 pandemic on market conditions and the U.S. economy, the
Fund did not return the Original NAV at its termination. The Fund
is returning to shareholders a net asset value (“NAV”) of $9.753232

distribution. Over its five-year term, the Fund paid 57 monthly
distributions and 0 long-term capital gain distributions totaling
$1.6732 per common share of beneficial interest, which equates to
an average distribution rate of 3.613% on NAV and 3.62% on market
price as of December 14, 2021. The annualized total return on NAV
for shareholders who invested at the initial public offering was
3.52% and the market price total return was 3.16%.
