The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the Trustee nominees of the Fund.

Each nominee is currently serving as a Trustee of the Fund and has consented to continue to so serve. In the event that a nominee is unable to serve for any reason (which is not now expected) when the election occurs, the accompanying proxy will be voted for such other person or persons

as the Board of Trustees may recommend. Election of Trustees is non-cumulative. Shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the proposal in this proxy statement.

Each nominee shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. No nominee is a party adverse to the Fund or any of its affiliates in any material pending legal proceeding, nor does any nominee have an interest materially adverse to such Fund.

Under the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”), the holders of the Fund’s APS are entitled as a class, to the exclusion of the holders of the Fund’s Common Shares, to elect two Trustees of the Fund. Ms. Stefani has been nominated for election by holders of the Fund's APS at the Annual Meeting. The Fund’s By-Laws further provide for the election of the other nominees named above by
