August 8, 2024
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to report to our shareholders on the results of The New America High Income Fund (the "Fund") for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. The Fund's net asset value (the "NAV") was $8.20 as of June 30th. The market price for the Fund's shares ended the period at $7.33, representing a market price discount of 10.6%. The Fund paid dividends totaling $0.20 per share from earnings during the six-month period.
As of June 30th, the Fund's outstanding borrowing through its liquidity facility (the "Facility") with the State Street Bank and Trust Company was $84 million, unchanged from borrowings at year-end. The borrowing represented approximately 30% of the Fund's total assets. Amounts borrowed under the Facility bear interest at an adjustable rate based on a margin above the Overnight Bank Financing Rate. The interest rate on the Facility as of June 30th was 6.17%. The difference between the market value-weighted average current yield on the portfolio and the rate paid on the Facility increased slightly to 1.18 percentage points at June 30th, compared to a yield spread of 1.04 percentage points as of December 31, 2023.
We remind our shareholders that there is no certainty that the dividend will remain at the current level. The dividend can be affected by portfolio results, the cost and amount of leverage, market conditions, the extent to which the portfolio is fully invested, and operating expenses, among other factors. In addition to increasing the amount of income available for the dividend, leverage magnifies the effect of price movements on the Fund's NAV per share. The Fund's leverage increased the Fund's total return in the positive high yield market of the first six months of the year. Of course, in a poorly performing high yield market, the leverage would decrease the Fund's total return.

* Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV or market value with all distributions reinvested. Distributions are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan. Because the Fund's shares may trade at either a discount or premium to the Fund's NAV per share, returns based upon the stock price and dividends will tend to differ from those derived from the underlying change in NAV and dividends. The variance between the Fund's total return based on stock price and dividends and the total return based on the Fund's NAV and dividends is due to the narrowing of the stock price discount to the NAV over the period.

Commentary by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.
Market Review
The high yield market returned 2.74% in the six months ended June 30, 2024, according to the Credit Suisse High Yield Index.
The U.S. economy has continued down a path of resilient growth despite the Fed Funds rate remaining at a two-decade high, providing a supportive backdrop for sub-investment grade fundamentals, which tend to be sensitive to economic conditions.
U.S. stocks rose in the first half of 2024, adding to 2023's brisk gains and lifting some equity market indexes to new all-time highs. Inflation remained somewhat elevated, discouraging Federal Reserve policymakers from reducing short-term interest rates. While bond yields rebounded partially from a sharp decline late last year, the equity market was boosted by generally favorable corporate earnings and strong investor interest in companies expected to benefit from artificial intelligence (AI) developments.
Stocks picked up momentum in February, seemingly helped by signs that the economy was continuing to defy skeptics and grow despite high interest rates. However, stronger economic growth brought some unwelcome inflation surprises late in the first quarter, dashing hopes for a March rate cut. Fed Chair Jerome Powell testified before Congress that policymakers were "not far" from having confidence that inflation's downtrend will be sustained, enabling them to begin cutting rates.
Following flat growth in April, retail sales rose by just 0.1% in May. Personal income rose more than expected, up 0.5% in May, while personal spending fell slightly short of expectations at 0.2%, indicating that households are saving more. The Labor Department reported that employers added 272,000 jobs in May, well above expectations and higher than the downwardly revised count for April. However, the unemployment rate rose for the third consecutive month, reaching 4% even as the labor force participation rate declined.
Downside surprises in consumer and producer prices data supported the view that inflationary pressures are easing and fueled expectations that the Fed remains on course to begin cutting interest rates in the year's second half. The consumer price index ("CPI") and producer price index readings came in below expectations in May, as core CPI rose by a smaller-than-expected 3.4% year over year ("YoY"), while producer prices rose 2.2% YoY, down from 2.3% in April. The core personal consumption expenditures inflation rate, which is closely watched by the Fed, improved from 2.8% on an annual basis to 2.6% in May.
The Federal Open Market Committee made no rate moves at its June meeting, as expected, and made minimal changes to the policy statement, which noted "modest" further progress toward its inflation target. The summary of economic projections was on the hawkish side of expectations. The median projection was for only one rate cut this year, down from the three reductions expected in March. The outlook for the long-run neutral Fed Funds rate was raised from 2.6% to 2.8%.
The yield spread between high yield bonds and U.S. Treasuries narrowed by 52 basis points during the six-month period While $165.5 billion in new high yield debt was issued in the first half of the year, compared with $95.6 billion during the first half of 2023, net issuance was considerably lower as refinancing was the largest category of issuance at 81% of the gross volume. The J.P. Morgan par-weighted default rate declined to 1.17% from 2.08% in December, remaining well below its long-term average.

Portfolio Review
Credit selection in the services segment contributed to relative performance, partly due to the Fund's position in Ascend Learning, which provides online educational content, software, and analytics serving institutions, students, and employers in health care and other licensure-driven professions. We believe that the company has an attractive business model, growth tailwinds in several key end markets, and should be relatively defensive in the event of an economic downturn. The company's loans steadily rallied from the mid-80s to high-90s throughout the first quarter. Ascend Learning subsequently posted strong 1Q24 results
The portfolio's allocation to bank loans aided relative performance, partly due to UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group), a provider of workforce management solutions and human resource management services. The company has a market-leading product suite, diversified and sticky customer base, and, in our view, a recession-resilient recurring revenue profile.
Our meaningful underweight in the other telecommunications (wirelines) sector added value. In our view, these issuers operate in a highly competitive landscape with the emergence of 5G technology potentially contributing to the industry's secular decline.
Security selection in the energy industry was beneficial, partly due to Venture Global, a low-cost provider of American liquified natural gas (LNG). The company is developing multiple LNG export facilities in Louisiana using modular, mid-scale liquefaction technology, enabling significantly lower cost of development and shorter development timelines. With its demonstrated track record of contracting and executing construction of large-scale projects that are backed by long-term contracts with solid customers, we believe Venture Global could migrate to investment-grade status as it matures.
The portfolio's investments in cable operators were the primary detractor from relative results, largely due to the holdings of Altice France. In September 2023, the company and bondholders reached an agreement that Altice would sell assets and pay down debt at par. However, in March 2024 the Company aggressively moved pending asset sales to an unrestricted subsidiary and threatened to withhold the sale proceeds from creditors unless bondholders took a haircut to their claims. Formation of bondholder groups may lead to greater disagreement among the company's creditors. Although we believe a bankruptcy filing is not in the best interest of creditors or the company's owner, Patrick Drahi, we cannot rule out the possibility of a coercive debt exchange at severe discounts to par. We continue to monitor the situation closely and believe an agreement under which bondholders will receive a higher value for their holdings than current prices may be achievable.
Our overweight allocation to the media industry held back relative gains, partly due to our higher weight in iHeartMedia (IHRT), the number-one audio company in America based on consumer reach. The company's 1Q24 results met guidance and consensus expectations. However, the 2Q24 outlook was disappointing, which caused the prices of the company's securities to fall. Management indicated that they expect revenue to be flat and EBITDA to decline roughly 22% year-over-year for the first half of the year. However, management noted that, they expect improvements revenue to strengthen as the second quarter progresses, and they remained bullish on the performance tailwind from political spending in the year's second half.

Outlook
Financial conditions and lending standards have been tightening for over a year as the Fed and most developed market central banks aggressively raised short-term interest rates to combat inflation in 2022 and 2023. The tighter financial conditions have resulted in historically light new issuance, most of which has been secured paper. Low new issuance of debt combined with manageable cash flows have created positive technical conditions in the high yield market. These factors and the need to reinvest coupon payments have resulted in strong demand for new issues, while the absence of significant outflows has supported bond prices in the secondary market.
The economy continues to be resilient which is supportive for sub-investment grade fundamentals. High yield market issuers with credit ratings of BB have been able to refinance debt with near-term maturities. In contrast, lower quality issuers have struggled to refinance upcoming debt maturities in the current high-rate environment. Some issuers have restructured debt in a manner that favors one class of debt over another in their capital structure, while other issuers have defaulted. As a result of the tighter financial conditions, we anticipate the default rate could continue to normalize over the near to medium term toward the high yield market's long-term average of 3%-4%, although we believe it may remain well below levels seen during previous recessions. Despite mediocre spreads, the asset class continues to provide extremely attractive yields, and we believe investors could be fairly compensated for accepting marginally higher default risk.
We are not aware of two consecutive years of negative returns in the high yield bond market. We believe that years in which the asset class sells off, as it did in 2022, have historically been followed by multi-year periods of positive returns. Given the current high-quality nature of the asset class, which is roughly 60% composed of BB rated bonds, we believe this trend will continue.
Sincerely,
|

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total returns are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or market price (as applicable) and assumes the reinvestment of dividends. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performace is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund's current performance may be lower or higher than quoted.
The Credit Suisse High Yield Index (the "Index") is an unmanaged index. Unlike the Fund, the Index has no trading activity, expenses or leverage.
Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change stock price or NAV with all distributions reinvested. Distributions are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan. Because the Fund's shares may trade at either a discount or premium to the Fund's NAV per share, returns based upon the stock price and dividends will tend to differ from those derived from the underlying change in NAV and dividends.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
(1) Significant Accounting Policies
The New America High Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was organized as a corporation in the state of Maryland on November 19, 1987 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a diversified, closed-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services Investment Companies". The Fund commenced operations on February 26, 1988. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide high current income while seeking to preserve stockholders' capital through investment in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of "high yield" fixed-income securities.
The Fund invests primarily in fixed maturity corporate debt securities that are rated less than investment grade. Risk of loss upon default by the issuer is significantly greater with respect to such securities compared to investment grade securities because these securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer and because these issuers usually have high levels of indebtedness and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as a recession, than are investment grade issuers. In some cases, the collection of principal and timely receipt of interest is dependent upon the issuer attaining improved operating results, selling assets or obtaining additional financing.
The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a Fund that is more diversified. See the schedule of investments for information on individual securities as well as industry diversification and credit quality ratings.
The Fund's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for investment companies that require the management of the Fund to, among other things, make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund, which are in conformity with those generally accepted in the investment company industry.
(a) Valuation of Investments—The Fund's Board of Directors has adopted policies and procedures to fair value securities that are not readily available consistent with the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Fund's Board of Directors are the "valuation designee", which performs fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5. Except as otherwise described below, the Fund's investments are valued based on evaluated bid prices provided by an independent pricing service. Independent pricing services provide prices based primarily on quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, data accessed from quotations services, offering sheets obtained from dealers and various relationships among similar securities. Investments whose primary market is on an exchange are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Short-term investments with original maturities of 60 days or less are stated at amortized cost, which approximates the fair value of such investments. Investments for which market prices are not yet provided by an independent pricing service (primarily newly issued fixed-income corporate bonds and notes) shall be valued at the most recently quoted bid price provided by a principal market maker for the security. Fair value measurements are further discussed in section (f) of this footnote.
(b) Foreign Currency—Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U. S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
27
The New America High Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transaction, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
(c) Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts—The Fund may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed upon price on an agreed future date. The Fund's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the statement of assets and liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the statement of operations. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk or both kinds of risks, in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates.
(d) Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income—Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are
calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis. Loan fee income is recorded when received. Discount on short-term investments is amortized to investment income. Premiums or discounts on corporate debt securities are amortized based on the interest method for financial reporting purposes. All income on original issue discount and step interest bonds is accrued based on the effective interest method. The Fund does not amortize market premiums or discounts for tax purposes. Dividend payments received in the form of additional securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date.
(e) Federal Income Taxes—It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders each year. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.
(f) Fair Value Measurement—The Fund applies ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". This standard establishes the definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not
28

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund's major asset and liability categories is as follows.
Debt securities (corporate, U.S. Treasury, convertible & bank debt). The fair value of debt securities is provided by independent pricing services using quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, data from quotations services, offering sheets and various relationships between securities. While most corporate bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, there may be instances where less observable inputs necessitate a level 3 categorization.
Equity securities (preferred and common stock). Equity securities for which the primary market is on an exchange will be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded in inactive markets or valued by independent pricing services using methods similar to debt securities are categorized in level 2. The fair value of equity securities in which observable inputs are unavailable are categorized in level 3.
Short-term investments. Short-term investments are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely the values would be categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Forwards are valued at the unrealized gain or loss on the contract as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the date of entry into the contract and the forward rates at the reporting date. Forwards are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(2) Tax Matters and Distributions
At June 30, 2024, the total cost of securities (including temporary cash investments) for federal income tax purposes was approximately $275,473,000. Aggregate gross unrealized gain on securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was approximately $4,032,000. Aggregate gross unrealized loss on securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was approximately $11,175,000. Net unrealized loss on investments for tax purposes at June 30, 2024 was approximately $7,143,000.
At December 31, 2023, the Fund had approximate capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations:

As a result of the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), losses incurred in the 2011 fiscal year and beyond retain their character as short-term or long-term, have no expiration date and are utilized before the capital losses incurred prior to the enactment of the Act.
It is the policy of the Fund to reduce future distributions of realized gains to shareholders to the extent of the unexpired capital loss carryforwards.
The tax character of distributions paid to common shareholders in 2023 and 2022 of approximately $11,395,000 and $14,072,000, respectively, was from ordinary income.
As of December 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were approximately:
Unrealized Loss on Investments |
|
$ |
(6,879,000 |
) |
|
Capital Loss Carryforwards |
|
|
(37,428,000 |

|
Undistributed Net Investment Income |
|
|
73,000 |
|
|
|
|
$ |
(46,121,000 |
) |
|
The difference between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and amounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals ("GAAP") are primarily due to market discount and premium adjustments, wash sales, and the recognition of unrealized gain on currency forward contracts. GAAP also requires components related to permanent differences of net assets to be classified differently for financial reporting purposes than for tax reporting purposes. These differences have no net effect on the net asset value of the Fund. As of December 31, 2023, there were no financial reporting reclassifications recorded to the net asset accounts.
As of December 31, 2023, the Fund had $1,797,000 of post-October losses which are deferred until fiscal year 2024 for tax purposes. The other accumulated losses of $90,000 were incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year. Distributions on common stock are declared based upon annual projections of the Fund's investment company taxable income. The Fund records all dividends and distributions payable to shareholders on the ex-dividend date and declares and distributes income dividends monthly.
The Fund is required to amortize market discounts and premiums for financial reporting purposes. This results in additional interest income in some years and decreased interest income in others for financial reporting purposes only. The Fund does not amortize market discounts or premiums for tax purposes. Therefore, the additional or decreased interest income for financial reporting purposes does not result in additional or decreased common stock dividend income.

June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2020-2022, or expected to be taken in the Fund's 2023 tax returns. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
(3) Investment Advisory Agreement
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price), the Fund's Investment Advisor, earned approximately $486,000 in management fees during the period ended June 30, 2024. Management fees paid by the Fund to T. Rowe Price were calculated at 0.50% on the first $50,000,000 of the Fund's average weekly net assets, 0.40% on the next $50 million and 0.30% on average weekly net assets in excess of $100 million. T. Rowe Price's fee is calculated based on assets attributable to the Fund's common stock and amounts borrowed under the credit facility. At June 30, 2024, the fee payable to T. Rowe Price was approximately $80,000, as shown on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities.
(4) Bank Liquidity Agreement
Effective October 4, 2023, the Fund entered into a perpetual liquidity agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") pursuant to which the Fund may borrow up to an aggregate amount of $100,000,000 and includes an agency securities lending agreement with State Street. On June 30, 2024 the total amount outstanding on the loan was $84,000,000. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at an adjustable rate based on a margin above OBFR (Overnight Bank Financing Rate). The rate paid on these borrowings is calculated daily. For the period ended June 30, 2024 the weighted average rate on the
loan was approximately 6.42% and the maximum and aggregate average amount borrowed during the period was $84,000,000. At June 30, 2024, the Fund has borrowings outstanding under the agreement of $84,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 6.17%, which are shown as Credit Agreement on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund pays a commitment fee to State Street at a rate of 0.15% per annum for any unused portion of borrowings not to exceed $100,000,000. For the period ended June 30, 2024 the Fund paid approximately $12,000 for this commitment.
The Fund has granted to State Street a security interest in the investments and other assets of the Fund in accordance with the Liquidity Agreement. The Fund retains the risks and rewards of the ownership of assets pledged to secure obligations under the Liquidity Agreement and generally expects these assets available for securities lending transactions. Under the terms of the Liquidity Agreement, the Fund may enter into securities lending transactions initiated by State Street, acting as the Fund's authorized securities lending agent. All securities lent through State Street are required to be secured with cash collateral received from the securities lending counterparty in amounts at least equal to 102% of the initial market value of the securities lent. Cash collateral received by State Street, in its role as securities lending agent for the Fund, may be used by State Street to fund amounts drawn by the Fund under the Liquidity Agreement.
At June 30. 2024, the total value of securities on loan was $5,349,682 and the total value of cash collateral received was $5,462,423. All of the securities on loan at June 30, 2024 are classified as Corporate Debt on the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)
Availability of Portfolio Holdings
The Fund provides a complete schedule of its portfolio holdings quarterly. The lists of holdings as of the end of the second and fourth quarters appear in the Fund's semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders, respectively. The schedules of portfolio holdings as of the end of the first and third quarters are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form NPORT-P (the "Forms") within 60 days of the end of the first and third quarters. Shareholders can look up the Forms on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. The Forms may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. You may call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information about the SEC's web site and their public reference room.
Compliance with CFTC Regulation of Transactions in Commodity Interests
The Fund does not currently intend to engage in transactions in commodity interests such as futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and swaps. However, the Fund may in the future enter into interest rate transactions, such as swaps, caps, collars and floors for the purpose or with the effect of hedging its portfolio and/or its payment obligations with respect to senior securities. In addition, the Fund has reserved the right, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, to purchase and sell financial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts for the purpose of hedging its portfolio securities (or portfolio securities which it expects to acquire) against anticipated changes in prevailing interest rates. To the extent it engages in transactions in commodity interests, the Fund expects their use to be limited such that the Fund may claim the exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" available under Regulation 4.5 of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission under the Commodity Exchange Act, and will not therefor be subject to regulation as a pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.
Common Stock Transactions
The Fund may purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market when the Common Stock trades at a discount to net asset value or at other times if the Fund determines such purchases are advisable. There can be no assurance that the Fund will take such action in the event of a market discount to net asset value or that Fund purchases will reduce a discount.
