| II. | Social Issues and Other Client Guidelines |

If a client has provided and the Advisers have accepted special instructions relating to the voting of proxies, they should be noted in the client’s account file and forwarded to the proxy department. This is the responsibility of the investment professional or sales assistant for the client. In accordance with Department of Labor guidelines, the Advisers’ policy is to vote on behalf of ERISA accounts in the best interest of the plan participants with regard to social issues that carry an economic impact. Where an account is not governed by ERISA, the Advisers will vote shares held on behalf of the client in a manner consistent with any individual investment/voting guidelines provided by the client. Otherwise the Advisers may abstain with respect to those shares.

Specific to the Gabelli SRI Fund and the Gabelli Love Our Planet & People ETF, the Proxy Voting Committee will rely on the advice of the portfolio managers of the Gabelli SRI Fund and the Gabelli Love Our Planet & People ETF to provide voting recommendations on the securities held in the portfolios.

A client may always request to vote their own proxies. Clients engaged in securities lending may make additional requests related to the voting of proxies. GAMI will consider those requests on a case-by-case basis and use best efforts to comply with the request.

| III. | Client Retention of Voting Rights |

If a client chooses to retain the right to vote proxies or if there is any change in voting authority, the following should be notified by the investment professional or sales assistant for the client.

| - | Operations |

| - | Proxy Department |

| - | Investment professional assigned to the account |

In the event that the Board of Directors (or a Committee thereof) of one or more of the investment companies managed by one of the Advisers has retained direct voting control over any security, the Proxy Voting Department will provide each Board Member (or Committee member) with a copy of the proxy statement together with any other relevant information.

| IV. | Proxies of Certain Non-U.S. Issuers |

Proxy voting in certain countries requires “share-blocking.” Shareholders wishing to vote their proxies must deposit their shares shortly before the date of the meeting with a designated depository. During the period in which the shares are held with a depository, shares that will be voted at the meeting cannot be sold until the meeting has taken place and the shares are returned
