| * | Each Trustee holds office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her                                                                                            
 successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Any Trustee nominated for re-election who fails to receive the 
 requisite vote for re-election at the Annual Meeting and whose successor has neither been elected nor qualified would continue serving as a Trustee (sometimes referred to as a “holdover”) until his            
 or her successor is elected and qualified subject to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.                                                                              |

Under the Fund’s classified Board structure, ordinarily only the Trustee(s) in a single Class may be replaced in any one year, and it would
require a minimum of two years to change a majority of the Board of the Fund under normal circumstances. This structure, which may be regarded as an “anti-takeover” measure, may make it more difficult for the Fund’s shareholders to
change the majority of Trustees of the Fund and, thus, promotes the continuity of management.

It is the intention of the persons designated as
proxies in the proxy card to vote as directed; unless otherwise directed in a proxy, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote at the Annual Meeting for the election of Messrs. Larson, Poladian and Olson and Ms. Kerley. The Nominees have
agreed to serve if elected at the Annual Meeting. If any of the Nominees are unable or for good cause will not serve, the persons named in the proxies will vote the proxies for such other person as the Board may recommend.
