 the Annual Meeting is a “routine” matter and beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by broker-dealers in favor of the proposal. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted on the proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the proposal. Broker-dealers that are not members of the NYSE may be subject to other rules, which may or may not permit them to vote your shares without instruction. Therefore, you are encouraged to contact your broker-dealer and record your voting instructions.

Proxy Solicitation

The Funds have retained Georgeson LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies. The Funds will pay the costs of the proxy solicitation and the expenses incurred in connection with preparing, printing and mailing the Proxy Statement and its enclosures. Each Fund pays a pro rata portion (based on respective net assets) of such costs and expenses.
