Governance and Nominating Committee. Each Board has adopted a written charter for each Fund’s governance and nominating committee (the “Governance and Nominating Committee”). The Governance and Nominating 24 Committee is responsible for developing and maintaining governance principles applicable to the Funds, for nominating individuals to serve as Trustees, including as Independent Trustees, and annually evaluating the Board and Committees. The Governance and Nominating Committee considers candidates for trusteeship and makes recommendations to each Board with respect to such candidates. There are no specific required qualifications for trusteeship. The committee considers all relevant qualifications of candidates for trusteeship, such as industry knowledge and experience, financial expertise, current employment and other board memberships, and whether the candidate would be qualified to be considered an Independent Trustee. The Board believes that having among its members a diversity of viewpoints, skills and experience and a variety of complementary skills enhances the effectiveness of the Board in its oversight role. The committee considers the qualifications of candidates for trusteeship in this context. Each Board has adopted a policy for consideration of Trustee nominations recommended by shareholders. With regards to such policy, among other requirements, any shareholder group submitting a nomination must beneficially own, individually or in the aggregate, for at least two full years prior to the date of submitting the nomination, and through the date of the meeting at which such nomination is considered, 4% of the shares of a class of the Fund for which the Trustee nominee is submitted. Shareholder nominees for Trustee will be given the same consideration as any other candidate provided the nominee meets certain minimum requirements. The Governance and Nominating Committee is currently composed entirely of Independent Trustees; its current members are Brian T. Zino, Chair; Donald C. Burke; Sarah
