**1. Organization and Accounting Policies**

Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objectives are to seek to provide security of principal, high current income and liquidity. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 18, 1981 and commenced operations on February 17, 1982.

The Fund applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the date of the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities through the date that the financial statements were issued.

The Fund has issued two classes of shares, R Class and S Class shares. The two classes have the same fees and expenses.

The Fund operates as a "government money market fund," which allows the Fund to continue to seek a stable Net Asset Value ("NAV"). The Fund is exempt from the requirements relating to the imposition of liquidity fees and/or redemption gates.

On July 12, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") approved certain regulatory changes that impact money market funds, including the Fund. Previously, the Fund, as a government money market fund, was permitted to opt-in to a liquidity fee and redemption gate framework, whereby the Fund would have had the ability to impose a liquidity fee or redemption gate if it invested less than 30% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets ("Prior Liquidity Fee and Redemption Gate Framework"). As part of the recently approved regulatory changes, the SEC revised the Prior Liquidity Fee and Redemption Gate Framework to remove (i) the ability of a money market fund to impose a redemption gate (other than as part of a liquidation) and (ii) the tie between a fund's weekly liquid asset levels and its ability to impose a liquidity fee. Accordingly, beginning October 2, 2023, the Fund would have the ability to impose a liquidity fee of up to 2% without regard to the Fund's level of weekly liquid assets if the Fund's Board of Trustees (or its delegate) believes such fee to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders ("Current Liquidity Fee Framework"). The Fund is exempt from the Current Liquidity Fee Framework, but the Fund's Board of Trustees reserves its right to opt-in to the Current Liquidity Fee Framework in the future after providing appropriate notice to shareholders.

These regulatory changes also included, among other things, an increase in minimum daily and weekly liquidity for money market funds. These regulatory changes took effect on April 2, 2024, and such changes may affect Fund operations and return potential.

**Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust**

**Notes to Financial Statements** ◼ **July 31, 2025 (unaudited)** *continued*

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

**A. Valuation of Investments —** Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity.

**B. Accounting for Investments —** Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the respective securities and are included in interest income. Interest income is accrued daily as earned.

**C. Multiple Class Allocations —** Investment income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative NAV on the date such items are recognized. Shareholder services fees are charged directly to the respective class.

**D. Repurchase Agreements —** The Fund invests directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. The Fund's custodian receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily to determine that the value of the collateral does not decrease below the repurchase price plus accrued interest as earned. If such a decrease occurs, additional collateral will be requested and, when received, will be added to the account to maintain full collateralization.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian for investment companies advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the "Adviser"). The Fund will participate on a pro-rata basis with the other investment companies in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Repurchase agreements are subject to the Master Repurchase Agreements, which are agreements between the Fund and its counterparties that typically include provisions which provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Fund, through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented on the Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities are not net settlement amounts but gross. As indicated on the Portfolio of Investments, the cash or securities to be repurchased exceeds the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement reducing the net settlement amount to zero.

**E. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders —** Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the close of each business day. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid daily. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

**Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust**

**Notes to Financial Statements** ◼ **July 31, 2025 (unaudited)** *continued*

**F. Use of Estimates —** The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**G. Indemnifications —** The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

**H. Segment Reporting —** During the reporting period, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, ("ASU 2023-07"),* which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity's reportable segments. The Fund operates as a single reportable segment, an investment company whose investment objective is included in Note 1. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2023-07, the Fund's President act as the Fund's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), who is responsible for assessing the performance of the Fund's single segment and deciding how to allocate the segment's resources. To perform this function, the CODM reviews the information in the Fund's financial statements.

**2. Fair Valuation Measurements**

FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs); and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts,

**Notes to Financial Statements** ◼ **July 31, 2025 (unaudited)** *continued*

or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer's financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each security.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of July 31, 2025:

**3. Advisory/Administration Agreements**

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser, the Fund pays the Adviser an advisory fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, by applying the annual rate of 0.15% to the average daily net assets of the Fund determined as of the close of each business day.

The Adviser also serves as the Administrator to the Fund and provides administrative services pursuant to an Administration Agreement for an annual rate, accrued daily and paid monthly, of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Under a Sub-Administration Agreement between the Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), State Street provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator pays State Street a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Fund.

The Adviser/Administrator has agreed to assume all operating expenses of the Fund and to waive the advisory fee and administration fee, as applicable, to the extent that such expenses and fees excluding certain investment related expenses, taxes, interest and other extraordinary expenses (including litigation), on an annualized basis exceeds 0.56% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements will continue for at least one year from the date of the Fund's

**Notes to Financial Statements** ◼ **July 31, 2025 (unaudited)** *continued*

prospectus or until such time that the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") acts to discontinue all or a portion of such waivers and/or reimbursements when they deem such action is appropriate.

In addition, the Adviser and Administrator have also agreed to waive all or a portion of the Fund's advisory fee and administration fee, respectively, and/or reimburse expenses, to the extent that total expenses exceed total income of the Fund on a daily basis. The Adviser and Administrator may make additional voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The ratios of expenses to average net assets disclosed in the Fund's Financial Highlights may be lower than the maximum expense cap of 0.56% due to these additional fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The Adviser and Administrator may discontinue these voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements at any time in the future. This arrangement had no effect during the most recent reporting period.

**4. Shareholder Services Plan**

Pursuant to a Shareholder Services Plan (the "Plan"), the Fund may pay Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser/Administrator, as compensation for the provision of services to shareholders a service fee up to the rate of 0.15% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Fund for R Class and S Class shares.

Reimbursements for these expenses are made in monthly payments by the Fund to the Distributor, which will in no event exceed an amount equal to a payment at the annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets during the month. Expenses incurred by the Distributor pursuant to the Plan in any fiscal year will not be reimbursed by the Fund through payments accrued in any subsequent fiscal year. For the six months ended July 31, 2025, the shareholder services fee was accrued at the annual rate of 0.10%.

The Distributor has agreed to waive all or a portion of the Fund's shareholder services fee and/or reimburse expenses, to the extent that total expenses exceed total income of the Fund on a daily basis. The Distributor may discontinue this voluntary fee waiver and/or expense reimbursements at any time in the future. This arrangement had no effect during the most recent reporting period.

**5. Dividend Disbursing and Transfer/Co-Transfer Agent**

The Fund's dividend disbursing and transfer agent is SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc. ("SS&C GIDS"). Pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement, the Fund pays SS&C GIDS a fee based on the number of classes, accounts and transactions relating to the Fund.

Eaton Vance Management ("EVM"), an affiliate of Morgan Stanley, provides co-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Co-Transfer Agency Services Agreement. For the six months

**Notes to Financial Statements** ◼ **July 31, 2025 (unaudited)** *continued*

ended July 31, 2025, co-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM, included in "Transfer agency fees" in the Statement of Operations, amounted to $6,417.

**6. Custodian Fees**

State Street (the "Custodian") also serves as Custodian for the Fund in accordance with a Custodian Agreement. The Custodian holds cash, securities and other assets of the Fund as required by the Act. Custody fees are payable monthly based on assets held in custody, investment purchases and sales activity and account maintenance fees, plus reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

**7. Transactions with Affiliates**

The Fund is permitted to purchase and sell securities ("cross-trade") from and to other Morgan Stanley funds as well as other funds and client accounts for which the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser serves as investment adviser, pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Act (the "Rule"). As a result of a change in the Rule 2a-5 (aka the "Valuation Rule"), which impacts transactions under Rule 17a-7, a security is an eligible security for purposes of Rule 17a-7 only when there is a **"readily available market quotation"** for the security. The Fund's **Rule 17a-7** policy was amended effective September 8, 2022, to reflect the new requirements of Rule 2a-5.

For the six months ended July 31, 2025, the Fund did not engage in any cross-trade transactions.

Each Trustee receives an annual retainer fee for serving as a Trustee of the Morgan Stanley Funds. The aggregate compensation paid to each Trustee is paid by the Morgan Stanley Funds, and is allocated on a pro rata basis among each of the operational funds of the Morgan Stanley Funds based on the relative net assets of each of the funds. The Fund also reimburses such Trustees for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings.

The Fund has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering certain independent Trustees of the Fund who will have served as independent Trustees for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on factors which include years of service and compensation. The Trustees voted to close the plan to new participants and eliminate the future benefits growth due to increases to compensation after July 31, 2003. Aggregate pension costs for the six months ended July 31, 2025, included in "Trustees' fees and expenses" in the Statement of Operations, amounted to $836. At July 31, 2025, the Fund had an accrued pension liability of $34,268, which is reflected as "Trustees' fees" in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund has an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Compensation Plan"), which allows each independent Trustee to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she receives for serving on

------

**Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust**

**Notes to Financial Statements** ◼ **July 31, 2025 (unaudited)** *continued*

the Board of Trustees. Each eligible Trustee generally may elect to have the deferred amounts credited with a return equal to the total return on one or more of the Morgan Stanley funds that are offered as investment options under the Compensation Plan. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the NAV of the Fund.

**8. Shares of Beneficial Interest**

**9. Federal Income Tax Status**

It is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

FASB ASC 740-10, "Income Taxes — Overall", sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in "Interest Expense" and penalties in "Other Expenses" in the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended January 31, 2025, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

**Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust**

**Notes to Financial Statements** ◼ **July 31, 2025 (unaudited)** *continued*

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown for GAAP purposes due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during fiscal years 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **2025 DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:** | **2025 DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:** | **2024 DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:** | **2024 DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:** |
| **ORDINARY<br>INCOME** | **LONG-TERM<br>CAPITAL GAIN** | **ORDINARY<br>INCOME** | **LONG-TERM<br>CAPITAL GAIN** |
| $48770662 | $— | $41587197 | $— |

---

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.

Temporary differences are attributable to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of gains (losses) on certain investment transactions and the timing of the deductibility of certain expenses.

The Fund had no permanent differences causing reclassifications among the components of net assets for the year ended January 31, 2025.

At January 31, 2025, the components of distributable earnings for the Fund on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **UNDISTRIBUTED<br>ORDINARY<br>INCOME** | **UNDISTRIBUTED<br>LONG-TERM<br>CAPITAL GAIN** |
| $127101 | $— |

---

At January 31, 2025, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused short-term capital losses of $82,298 that do not have an expiration date.

To the extent that capital loss carryforwards are used to offset any future capital gains realized, no capital gains tax liability will be incurred by the Fund for gains realized and not distributed. To the extent that capital gains are offset, such gains will not be distributed to the shareholders. During the year ended January 31, 2025, the Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $87,977.

**10. Market Risk and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments**

The Fund may invest in, or receive as collateral for repurchase agreements, securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation

------

**Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust**

**Notes to Financial Statements** ◼ **July 31, 2025 (unaudited)** *continued*

("FHLMC"). Securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States and are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") serves as conservator of FNMA and FHLMC and the U.S. Department of the Treasury has agreed to provide capital as needed to ensure FNMA and FHLMC continue to provide liquidity to the housing and mortgage markets.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements under which the Fund sends cash and takes possession of securities with an agreement that the counterparty will repurchase such securities. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral proceeds may be subject to certain costs and delays.

The value of an investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund's investments, which change due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform or otherwise be adversely affected due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates (or changes in interest rates), global demand for particular products or resources, market or financial system instability or uncertainty, embargoes, the threat or actual imposition of tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, natural disasters and extreme weather events, health emergencies (such as epidemics and pandemics), terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events, such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters, health emergencies, social and political (including geopolitical) discord and tensions or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in increased market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. The occurrence of such events may be sudden and unexpected, and it is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value, liquidity and risk profile of the Fund's portfolio, as well as its ability to sell securities and/or meet redemptions. Any such event(s) or similar types of factors and developments, may also adversely affect the financial performance of the Fund's investments (and, in turn, the Fund's investment results) and/or negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance of the Fund's

investments, and exacerbate preexisting risks to the Fund. In addition, no active trading market may exist for certain investments held by the Fund, which may impair the ability of the Fund to sell or to realize the current valuation of such investments in the event of the need to liquidate such assets.

**11. Credit Facility**

Effective July 11, 2025, the Fund and other Morgan Stanley funds participated in a $250,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the "Facility") with State Street. This Facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes or funding of shareholder redemption requests. The interest rate for any funds drawn will be based on the federal funds rate or overnight bank funding rate plus a spread. The Facility also has a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum based on the unused portion of the Facility, which is allocated among participating funds based on relative net assets. During the six months ended July 31, 2025, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the Facility.

**12. Other**

At July 31, 2025, the Fund had record owners of 10% or greater. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund. The aggregate percentage of such owners was 91.6%.

**Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (unaudited)**

**Nature, Extent and Quality of Services**

The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser under the advisory agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and equity and fixed income securities trading. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by the Administrator under the administration agreement, including accounting, operations, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, business management and planning, legal services and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at the Adviser's expense. The Board also considered the Adviser's investment in personnel and infrastructure that benefits the Fund. (The Adviser and Administrator together are referred to as the "Adviser" and the advisory and administration agreements together are referred to as the "Management Agreement"). The Board also considered that the Adviser serves a variety of other investment advisory clients and has experience overseeing service providers. The Board also compared the nature of the services provided by the Adviser with similar services provided by non-affiliated advisers as prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge").

The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers, the senior administrative managers and other key personnel of the Adviser who provide the advisory and administrative services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Adviser's portfolio managers and key personnel are well qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the advisory and administrative services provided were necessary and appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of the Fund and supported its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

**Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The Board reviewed the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund compared to its peers, as prepared by Broadridge, and to appropriate benchmarks where applicable. The Board discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Fund. When considering a fund's performance, the Board and the Adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term returns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year performance, as of December 31, 2024, or since inception, as applicable). When a fund underperforms its benchmark and/or its peer group average, the Board and the Adviser discuss the causes of such underperformance and, where necessary, they discuss specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel. The Board noted that the Fund's performance was better than its peer group average for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board discussed with the Adviser the level of the advisory and administration fees (together, the "management fee") for this Fund relative to comparable funds and/or other accounts advised by the Adviser and/or compared to its peers as prepared by Broadridge. In addition to the management fee, the Board also reviewed the Fund's total expense ratio. The Board noted that the Fund's management fee was lower than its peer group average and the total expense ratio was higher than but close to its peer

**Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (unaudited)** *continued*

group average. After discussion, the Board concluded that the Fund's performance, management fee and total expense ratio were competitive with its peer group averages.

**Economies of Scale**

The Board considered the size and growth prospects of the Fund and how that relates to the Fund's total expense ratio and particularly the Fund's management fee rate, which does not include breakpoints. In conjunction with its review of the Adviser's profitability, the Board discussed with the Adviser how a change in assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Fund and whether the management fee level is appropriate relative to current and projected asset levels and/or whether the management fee structure reflects economies of scale as asset levels change. The Board has determined that its review of the actual and/or potential economies of scale of the Fund supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

**Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates**

The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates during the last year from their relationship with the Fund and during the last two years from their relationship with the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex and reviewed with the Adviser the cost allocation methodology used to determine the profitability of the Adviser and affiliates. The Board has determined that its review of the analysis of the Adviser's expenses and profitability supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

**Other Benefits of the Relationship**

The Board considered other direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser and/or its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Fund and other funds advised by the Adviser. These benefits may include, among other things, fees for trading, distribution and/or shareholder servicing and for transaction processing and reporting platforms used by securities lending agents, and research received by the Adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds' portfolio trading. The Board reviewed with the Adviser these arrangements and the reasonableness of the Adviser's costs relative to the services performed. The Board has determined that its review of the other benefits received by the Adviser or its affiliates supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

**Resources of the Adviser and Historical Relationship Between the Fund and the Adviser**

The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between the Fund and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the Fund's operations and the Board's confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key

personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement and that it is beneficial for the Fund to continue its relationship with the Adviser.

**Other Factors and Current Trends**

The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the Adviser and monitored by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that the conduct of business by the Adviser indicates a good faith effort on its part to adhere to high ethical standards in the conduct of the Fund's business.

**General Conclusion**

After considering and weighing all of the above factors, with various written materials and verbal information presented by the Adviser, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve renewal of the Management Agreement for another year. In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single piece of information or factor referenced above. The Board considered these factors and information over the course of the year and in numerous meetings, some of which were in executive session with only the independent Board members and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Board members may have weighed these factors, and the information presented, differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the Management Agreement.
