’s outstanding preferred shares, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Because the election of Board Members does not require that a minimum percentage of the Target Fund’s outstanding common shares be voted in favor of any nominee, assuming the presence of a quorum, abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal No. 2.

Pursuant to Rule 452 of the NYSE, certain preferred shares held in “street name” as to which voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons otherwise entitled to vote as of one business day before the Acquiring Fund’s Meeting, or, if adjourned or postponed, one business day before the day to which the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, may be voted by the broker on a proposal in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of such preferred shares who have voted on a proposal. Rule 452 permits proportionate voting of the Acquiring Fund’s Taxable Fund Preferred Shares (“TFP Shares”) with respect to a particular item if, among other things, (1) a minimum of 30% of that series of preferred shares has been voted by the holders of such shares with respect to such item, (2) less than 10% of that series of preferred shares has been voted by the holders of such shares against such item and (3) for any proposal as to which holders of common shares and preferred shares vote as a single class, holders of common shares approve a proposal. For the purpose of meeting the 30% test, abstentions will be treated as shares “voted,” and for the purpose of meeting the 10% test, abstentions will not be treated as shares “voted” against the item. Rule 452 proportionate voting applies only to certain auction rate and remarketed preferred securities.

Broker-dealers who 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. We urge you to provide instructions to your broker or nominee so that your votes may be counted.

Those persons who were shareholders of record of a Fund as of the close of business on [●], 2025 and entitled to vote at the Fund’s Meeting will be entitled to one vote for each share held and, with respect to holders of common shares, a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional common share held.
