 instructions as outlined in this proxy statement. All shares represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as provided therein. If you sign the proxy card, but do not fill in a vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendation. If any other business is brought before the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted at the proxies’ discretion. Shareholders who execute proxy cards or record their voting instructions via the Internet may revoke their proxies at any time prior to the time they are voted by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Funds, by delivering a subsequently dated proxy (including via the Internet) prior to the date of the Annual Meeting or by attending (virtually) and voting at the Annual Meeting.

For ACV, Preferred Shares will entitle their holders to one vote per share in the election of the Preferred Shares Trustees. On each other proposal to be brought before the Annual Meeting (including the election of the nominees other than the Preferred Shares Trustees by all Shareholders), the Preferred Shareholders of each of NCV, NCZ and ACV will have equal voting rights ( i.e. , one vote per Share) with the applicable Fund’s Common Shareholders and will vote together with Common Shareholders as a single class.
