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.
