of three years. Each year, the term of office of one class will expire. Mario J. Gabelli, Michael J. Melarkey, Christina A. Peeney, and
Susan Watson Laughlin have each been nominated by the Board for election to serve for a three year term to expire at the Fund’s
2028 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each of the Trustees of the Fund has served
in that capacity since the October 23, 2003 organizational meeting of the Fund, with the exception of Susan Watson Laughlin, who became
a Trustee of the Fund on November 16, 2017, Elizabeth C. Bogan, Anthony S. Colavita, and Agnes Mullady, who became Trustees of the Fund
on March 25, 2021, Christina A. Peeney, who became a Trustee of the Fund on February 8, 2022, and Robert P. Astorino, who became a Trustee
