 the Acquiring Fund’s performance could suffer. Certain of these Strategic Transactions, such as investments in inverse floating rate securities and credit default swaps, may provide investment leverage to the Acquiring
Fund’s portfolio. The Acquiring Fund is not required to use derivatives or other portfolio strategies to seek to hedge its portfolio and may choose not to do so.

The use of Strategic Transactions may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Acquiring Fund to sell or
purchase portfolio securities at inopportune times or for prices other than current market values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Acquiring Fund can realize on an investment or may cause the Acquiring Fund to hold a security that it might
otherwise sell. Furthermore, the Acquiring Fund may only engage in Strategic Transactions from time to time and may not necessarily be engaging in hedging activities when movements in interest rates occur.

The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective and the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code for qualification as a regulated investment

less, in the case of a put, than the exercise price of the option. The purchase of a put option on a debt security could protect the Acquiring Fund’s holdings in a security or a number of securities against a substantial decline in the market
value. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy and the seller the obligation to sell the underlying
