-term capital gain” dividends do not apply to (A) distributions to an individual non-U.S. stockholder who is present in the United States for a period or periods
aggregating 183 days or more during the year of the distribution and (B) distributions attributable to gain that is treated as effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. stockholder of a trade
or business within the United States under special rules regarding the disposition of U.S. real property interests. The exception to withholding for dividends attributable to “qualified net interest income” does not apply to distributions
to a non-U.S. stockholder (A) that has not provided a satisfactory statement that the beneficial owner is not a U.S. person, (B) to the extent that the dividend is attributable to certain interest on
an obligation if the non-U.S. stockholder is the issuer or is a 10% stockholder of the issuer, (C) that is within certain non-U.S. countries that have inadequate
information exchange with the United States, or (D) to the extent the dividend is attributable to interest paid by a person that is a related person of the non-U.S. stockholder and the non-U.S. stockholder is a controlled foreign corporation. Depending on the circumstances, the Fund may report all, some or none of the Fund’s potentially eligible dividends as such qualified net interest income
or as qualified short-term capital gains, and a portion of the Fund’s distributions (e.g., interest from non-U.S. sources or any foreign currency gains) would be ineligible for this potential
exemption from withholding. In order to qualify for this exemption from withholding, a non-U.S. Common Stockholder would need to comply with applicable certification requirements relating to its non-U.S. status (including, in general, furnishing an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or substitute
Form). There can be no assurance as to what portion of the Fund’s distributions will be eligible for this exemption.

A non-U.S. Common Stockholder whose income from the Fund is not “effectively connected” with a U.S. trade or business (or, if an income tax treaty is applicable, is not attributable to a permanent
establishment maintained by the non-U.S. Common Stockholder in the United States) will generally be exempt from U.S. federal income tax on any amounts retained by the Fund that are designated as undistributed
capital gains and any gains realized upon the sale or exchange of
