The Audit Committee has submitted the following report:

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management of the Fund the audited financial statements for the Fund’s last fiscal year. The
Audit Committee has discussed with the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301 (“SAS No. 1301”). SAS No. 1301 requires the
independent registered public accounting firm to communicate to the Audit Committee matters including, if applicable: (1) methods used to account for significant unusual transactions; (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in
controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus; (3) the process used by management in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the independent registered public
accounting firm’s conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and (4) disagreements with management over the application of accounting principles and certain other matters. The Audit Committee has received the written
disclosures and the letter from the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526 (requiring the independent registered public accounting firm to make written disclosures to
and discuss with the Audit Committee various matters relating to the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence), and has discussed with such independent registered public accounting firm the independence of such independent
registered public accounting firm. Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Trustees the inclusion of the Fund’s audited financial statements for the last fiscal year in the Fund’s annual report
to shareholders.
