request for voting instructions. The election of Trustees at 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.
