The Board believes that a classified board structure is consistent with good corporate governance, which depends principally on active and independent board members who have extensive business experience and are knowledgeable about critical aspects of the Funds. The Class III Board Members of each Fund are standing for election this year. The Class III Board Nominees for HYT, DSU, CII, FRA, BSTZ, BMEZ, BCAT, BTX and BMN are Robert Fairbairn, J. Phillip Holloman and Arthur P. Steinmetz. For each other Fund, the Class III Board Nominees are Cynthia L. Egan, Robert Fairbairn and Stayce D. Harris.
