•	Who is eligible to vote?

	Shareholders of record of each Fund at the close of business on February 23, 2016 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to be present and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments, postponements or delays thereof. Each Share is entitled to one vote on the Proposal and a fractional vote with respect to fractional Shares, with no cumulative voting. Shares represented by duly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with your instructions.

•	How do I vote my Shares?

	Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to complete, sign, date, and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided or vote via telephone or the Internet so your Shares will be represented at the Annual Meeting. Instructions regarding how to vote via telephone or the Internet are included on the enclosed proxy card.

If you intend to attend the Annual Meeting in person and you hold your Shares through a bank, broker or other custodian, in order to gain admission you must show photographic identification, such as your driver’s license, and satisfactory proof of ownership of Shares of a Fund, such as your voting instruction form (or a copy thereof) or broker’s statement indicating ownership as of a

	recent date. If you hold your Shares in a brokerage account or through a bank or other nominee, you will not be able to vote in person at the Annual Meeting unless you have previously requested and obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank or other nominee and present it at the Annual Meeting. You may contact the Funds at (800) 345-7999 to obtain directions to the site of the Annual Meeting.

If you sign the proxy card, but don’t fill in a vote, your Shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendation. If any other business is brought before the Annual Meeting, your Shares will be voted at the proxies’ discretion.

	Shareholders who execute proxy cards or record their voting instructions via telephone or the Internet may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with the Secretary of the Funds a written notice of revocation, by delivering (including via telephone or the Internet) a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Merely attending the Annual Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously submitted proxy.

	Broker-dealer firms holding Shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their Shares on the Proposal before the Annual Meeting. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the NYSE, such broker-dealer firms may for certain “routine” matters, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated by the Board to vote if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. Each Proposal is a “routine” matter and beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their Shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of the Proposal. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s Shares should be voted on the Proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such Shares in favor of the Proposal. 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 bank, broker or other nominee so that your votes may be counted.

Shareholders of record of each Fund at the close of business on March 20, 2015 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to be present and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments, postponements or delays thereof.

~~What vote is required to elect a Trustee nominee?~~

For FMO, GBAB, GGM, GOF, GEQ, and GGE the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary to elect a Trustee nominee.

~~For GPM, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares voted is necessary to elect a Trustee nominee.~~

~~Why does this Proxy Statement list multiple closed-end funds?~~

The Funds have similar proposals and it is cost-efficient to have a joint Proxy Statement and joint Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the Funds and certain affiliated funds, whose votes on similar proposals applicable to such funds are being solicited separately, because the shareholders of the funds are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. In the event that any shareholder present at the Annual Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for the adjournment of his or her Fund’s meeting to a time immediately after the Annual Meeting so that each Fund’s meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on the respective proposal relating to their Fund. In any event, an unfavorable vote on any Proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of such Proposal by another Fund if the Proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund.

(1)	The business address of each officer of the Funds is Guggenheim Investments, 227 West Monroe Street, 7th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60606, unless otherwise noted.

Board Leadership Structure

The primary responsibility of the Board is to represent the interests of the Funds and to provide oversight of the management of the Funds. The Funds’ day-to-day operations are managed by the Adviser, the applicable Sub-Adviser and other service providers who have been approved by the Board. The Board is currently comprised of ~~six~~nine Trustees, ~~five~~eight of whom (including the chairperson) are Independent Trustees. Generally, the Board acts by majority vote of all the Trustees, including a majority vote of the Independent Trustees if required by applicable law.

The Board has appointed an Independent Chairman, Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., who presides at Board meetings and who is responsible for, among other things, participating in the planning of Board meetings, setting the tone of Board meetings and seeking to encourage open dialogue and independent inquiry among the Trustees and management. In addition, the Independent Chairman acts a liaison with officers, counsel and other Trustees between meetings of the Board. The Independent Chairman may also perform such other functions as may be delegated by the Board from time to time. The Board has established four standing committees (as described below) and has delegated certain responsibilities to those committees, each of which is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The Board and its committees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Funds’

activities, review contractual arrangements with service providers, review the Funds’ financial statements, oversee compliance with regulatory requirements, and review performance. The Board may also establish informal working groups from time to time to review and address the policies and practices of the Trust or the Board with respect to certain specified matters. The Independent Trustees are represented by independent legal counsel experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940, ~~Act~~as amended (“1940 Act”) matters and are represented by such independent legal counsel at Board and committee meetings. The Board has determined that this leadership structure, including an Independent Chairman, a supermajority of Independent Trustees and committee membership limited to Independent Trustees, is appropriate in light of the characteristics and circumstances of the Funds.

Board Committees

The Trustees have determined that the efficient conduct of the Funds’ affairs makes it desirable to delegate responsibility for certain specific matters to committees of the Board. The committees meet as often as necessary, either in conjunction with regular meetings of the Trustees or otherwise. The committees of the Board are the Executive Committee, the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Contracts Review Committee.

Executive Committee. Donald A. Chubb, Jr. and Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as defined in the 1940 Act, serve on the Funds’ Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is authorized to act on behalf of and with the full authority of the Board of Trustees when necessary in the intervals between meetings of the Board of Trustees.

Audit Committee. The Board has an Audit Committee, which is composed of Randall C. Barnes, Roman Friedrich III, Donald A. Chubb, Jerry B. Farley, Maynard F. Oliverius, Robert B. Karn III, Ronald A. Nyberg and Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., each of whom is an Independent Trustee as(as defined ~~above~~herein) and is “independent” as defined by NYSE listing standards. Mr. Karn serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee is ~~charged with selecting an independent registered public~~generally responsible for certain oversight matters, such as reviewing the Funds’ systems for accounting, ~~firm for~~financial reporting and internal controls and, as appropriate, the ~~Funds~~internal controls of certain service providers, overseeing the integrity of the Funds’ financial statements (and the audit thereof), as well as the qualifications, independence and ~~reviewing accounting matters with~~performance of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending to the Board the appointment, retention and termination of the Funds’ independent registered accounting firm and acting as a liason between the Board and the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm. Each member of the Audit Committee is an Independent Trustee as defined above and also meets the additional independence requirements for audit committee members as defined by the NYSE listing standards.

The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter (the “Audit Committee Charter”). The Audit Committee Charter is available under “News & Literature” on ~~the Funds’ website~~each Fund’s page at ~~www.guggenheiminvestments.com.~~www.guggenheiminvestments.com/products/cef.

The Audit Committee presents the following report on behalf of each Fund:

The Audit Committee has performed the following functions: (i) the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Fund with management of the Fund, (ii) the Audit

Committee discussed with the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the ~~Statement on~~Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing ~~Standards~~Standard No. ~~114 (The Auditor’s Communication With Those Charged With Governance),~~16, and (iii) the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm as required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Ethics & Independence Rule 3526 and has discussed with the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm the independence of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. Based on the Audit Committee’s reviews and discussions referred to above, including its discussion with management and the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended and approved, pursuant to ~~the~~authority delegated by Board of Trustees of the Fund, that the audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s Annual Reports for the past fiscal year.

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board has a Nominating and Governance Committee, which is composed of Randall C. Barnes, Donald A. Chubb, Jr., Jerry B. Farley, Maynard F. Oliverius, Roman Friedrich III, Robert B. Karn III, Ronald A. Nyberg and Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., each of whom is an

Independent Trustee ~~as defined above~~ and is “independent” as defined by NYSE listing standards. Mr. Nyberg serves as Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

The Nominating and Governance Committee is governed by a written charter (the “Nominating and Governance Committee Charter”). The Nominating and Governance Committee Charter is available under “News & Literature” on ~~the Funds’ website~~each Fund’s page at ~~www.guggenheiminvestments.com.~~www.guggenheiminvestments.com/products/cef.

The Nominating and Governance Committee (i) evaluates and recommends all candidates for election or appointment as members of the Board and recommends the appointment of members and chairs of each committee of the Board, (ii) reviews policy matters affecting the operation of the Board and committees of the Board, and (iii) periodically evaluates the effectiveness of the Board and committees of the Board.

In considering Trustee nominee candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee requires that Trustee candidates have a college degree or equivalent business experience and may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering Trustee candidates, including (but not limited to): availability andcommitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform the responsibilities of a Trustee, relevant experience, educational background, financial expertise, the candidate’s ability, judgment and expertise and overall diversity of the Board’s composition. The Nominating and Governance Committee may consider candidates recommended by various sources, including (but not limited to): such Fund’s Trustees, officers, investment advisers and shareholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee will not nominate a person for election to the Board as an

Independent Trustee in contravention of its Independent Trustee Retirement Policy. The Nominating and Governance Committee may, but is not required to, retain a third party search firm to identify potential candidates.

A Trustee candidate must (i) be prepared to submit written answers to a questionnaire seeking professional and personal information that will assist the Nominating and Governance Committee to evaluate the candidate and to determine, among other matters, whether the candidate would qualify as a Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Funds as such term is defined under the 1940 Act; (ii) be prepared to submit character references and agree to appropriate background checks; and (iii) be prepared to meet with one or more members of the Nominating and Governance Committee at a time and location convenient to those Nominating and Governance Committee members in order to discuss the nominee’s qualifications.

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider Trustee candidates recommended by shareholders of the Funds. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider and evaluate ~~trustee~~Trustee nominee candidates properly submitted by shareholders on the same basis as it considers and evaluates candidates recommended by other sources.

In considering Trustee nominee candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee takes into account a wide variety of factors, including the overall diversity of the Board’s composition. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes the Board generally benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers this a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy in this regard.

To have a candidate considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include the information required by the “Procedures for Shareholders to Submit Nominee Candidates” that are set forth as Appendix B to the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter. Shareholder recommendations must be sent to the Funds’ Secretary, c/o Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC, 227 West Monroe Street, 7th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

The nominees for election at the Annual Meeting currently serve as Trustees and were unanimously nominated by the Board of Trustees and the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Contracts Review Committee. The Board has a Contracts Review Committee, which oversees the contract review process, including review of the Funds’ advisory agreements and other contracts with affiliated service providers. The Contracts Review Committee is composed of Donald A. Chubb, Jr., Jerry B. Farley, Maynard F. Oliverius, Randall C. Barnes, Roman Friedrich III, Robert B. Karn III, Ronald A. Nyberg and Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., each of whom is an Independent Trustee. Mr. Friedrich serves as Chairman of the Contracts Review Committee.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Consistent with its responsibility for oversight of the Funds, the Board, among other things, oversees risk management of the Funds’ investment programs and business affairs directly and through the committee structure it has established. The Board has established the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Contracts Review Committee to assist in its oversight functions, including its oversight of the risks the Funds face. Each committee reports its activities to the Board on a regular basis. Risks to the Funds include, among others, investment risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, compliance risk and operational risk, as well as the overall business risk relating to the Funds. The Board has adopted, and periodically reviews, policies, procedures and controls designed to address these different types of risks. Under the Board’s supervision, the officers of the Funds, the Adviser, the respective Sub-Adviser and other service providers to the Funds also have implemented a variety of processes, procedures and controls to address various risks. In addition, as part of the Board’s periodic review of the Funds’ advisory, sub-advisory and other service provider agreements,

the Board may consider risk management aspects of the service providers’ operations and the functions for which they are responsible.

The Board requires officers of the Funds to report to the Board and its committees on a variety of matters at regular and special meetings of the Board and its committees, as applicable, including matters relating to risk management. The Audit Committee also receives reports from the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm on internal control and financial reporting matters. On at least a quarterly basis, the Board meets with the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer,

including separate meetings with the Independent Trustees in executive session, to discuss compliance matters and, on at least an annual basis, receives a report from the Chief Compliance Officer regarding the effectiveness of the Funds’ compliance program. The Board, with the assistance of Fund management, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Board receives reports from the Adviser and respective Sub-Adviser on the investments and securities trading of the Funds. With respect to valuation, the Board oversees a pricing committee comprised of Fund officers and Adviser personnel and has approved Fair Valuation procedures applicable to valuing the Funds’ portfolio securities, which the Board and the Audit Committee periodically review. The Board also requires the Adviser to report to the Board on other matters relating to risk management on a regular and as-needed basis.

Trustee Communications

Shareholders and other interested parties may contact the Board or any Trustee by mail. To communicate with the Board or any Trustee, correspondence should be addressed to the Board or the Board members with whom you wish to communicate by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent c/o the Secretary of the Fund or Funds at 227 West Monroe Street, 7th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

Shareholder Approval

With respect to FMO, GBAB, GGM, GGE, GEQ and GOF, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary to elect a Trustee nominee.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Further Information About Voting and the Annual Meeting

Quorum. With respect to FMO, GBAB, GGM, GGE, GEQ and GOF, the holders of a majority of the Shares entitled to vote on any matter at a meeting present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at such meeting of the shareholders for purposes of conducting business on such matter.

With respect to GPM, thirty percent (30%) of the Shares entitled to vote on a Proposal must be present in person or by proxy to have a quorum for GPM to conduct business at the Annual Meeting.

Votes withheld, abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., Shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner or the persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) will be counted as Shares present at the Annual Meeting for quorum purposes.

Record ~~Date~~Date. . The Board has fixed the close of business on ~~March 20, 2015,~~February 23, 2016, as the Record Date for the determination of shareholders of each Fund entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Shareholders of each Fund as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on by such Fund for each Share held and a fractional vote with respect to fractional Shares with no cumulative voting rights.

Joint Meeting. The Annual Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the Funds, ~~and certain affiliated funds,~~ whose votes on similar proposals applicable to such funds are being solicited separately, because the shareholders of the funds are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. In the event that any shareholder present at the Annual Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for the adjournment of his or her Fund’s meeting to a time immediately after the Annual Meeting so that each Fund’s meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on the respective Proposal relating to their Fund. In any event, an unfavorable vote on any Proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of such Proposal by another Fund if the Proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund.

How to Vote Your Shares. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to complete, sign, date, and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided or vote via telephone or the Internet so your Shares will be represented at the Annual Meeting. Instructions regarding how to vote via telephone or the Internet are included on the enclosed

proxy card. The required control number for Internet and telephone voting is printed on the enclosed

proxy card. The control number is used to match proxy cards with shareholders’ respective accounts and to ensure that, if multiple proxy cards are executed, Shares are voted in accordance with the proxy card bearing the latest date.

All Shares represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as provided therein. If you sign the proxy card, but don’t fill in a vote, your Shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendation. If any other business is brought before the Annual Meeting, your Shares will be voted at the proxies’ discretion.

Shareholders who execute proxy cards or record voting instructions via telephone or the Internet may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with the Secretary of the Funds a written notice of revocation, by delivering (including via telephone or the Internet) a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Merely attending the Annual Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously submitted proxy.

Attending the Annual Meeting. If you wish to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, you will be able to do so. If you intend to attend the Annual Meeting in person and you are a record holder of a Fund’s Shares, in order to gain admission you must show photographic identification, such as your driver’s license. If you intend to attend the Annual Meeting in person and you hold your Shares through a bank, broker or other custodian, in order to gain admission you must show photographic identification, such as your driver’s license, and satisfactory proof of ownership of Shares of a Fund, such as your voting instruction form (or a copy thereof) or broker’s statement indicating ownership as of a recent date. If you hold your Shares in a brokerage account or through a bank or other nominee, you will not be able to vote in person at the annual meeting unless you have previously requested and obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank or other nominee and present it at the Annual Meeting. You may contact the Funds at (800) 345-7999 to obtain directions to the site of the Annual Meeting.

Additional Information Regarding Voting. Broker-dealer firms holding Shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on the Proposal before the Annual Meeting. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the NYSE, such broker-dealer firms may for certain “routine” matters, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated by the Board to vote if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. Each Proposal is a “routine” matter and beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a

proxy card may have their Shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of the Proposal. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s Shares should be voted on the Proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such Shares in favor of the Proposal. 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 bank, broker or other nominee so that your votes may be counted.

The Funds will update certain data regarding the Funds, including performance data, on a monthly basis on its website at ~~www.guggenheiminvestments.com.~~www.guggenheiminvestments.com/products/cef. Investors and others are advised to periodically check the website for updated performance information and the release of other material information about the Funds.

Privacy Principles of the Funds

The Funds are committed to maintaining the privacy of shareholders and to safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help you understand what personal information the Funds collect, how the Funds protect that information and why, in certain cases, the Funds may share information with select other parties.

Generally, the Funds do not receive any non-public personal information relating to their shareholders, although certain non-public personal information of their shareholders may become available to the Funds. The Funds do not disclose any non-public personal information about their shareholders or former shareholders to anyone, except as permitted by law or as is necessary in order to service shareholder accounts (for example, to a transfer agent or third party administrator).

The Funds restrict access to non-public personal information about their shareholders to employees of Guggenheim Funds with a legitimate business need for the information. The Funds maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the non-public personal information of their shareholders.

Deadline for Shareholder Proposals

Each Fund’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) require compliance with certain procedures for a shareholder to properly make a nomination for election as a Trustee or to propose other business for the Fund. If a shareholder who is entitled to do so under a Fund’s By-Laws wishes to nominate a person or persons for election as a Trustee or propose other business for the Fund, that shareholder must provide a written notice to the Secretary of the Fund at the Fund’s principal executive offices. Such notice must include certain information about the proponent and the proposal, or in the case of a nomination, the nominee. A copy of each Fund’s By-Laws, which includes the provisions regarding the requirements for shareholder nominations and proposals, may be obtained by writing to the Secretary of the Fund at 227 West Monroe Street, 7th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Any shareholder considering making a nomination or other proposal should carefully review and comply with those provisions of the Fund’s By-Laws.

Shareholder proposals intended for inclusion in a Fund’s proxy statement in connection with the ~~2016~~2017 annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received by the Fund at the Fund’s principal executive offices by November ~~28, 2015~~5, 2016 in order to be considered for inclusion in the Fund’s proxy statement. Timely submission of a proposal does not necessarily mean that such proposal will be included in the Fund’s proxy statement.

A proposal, other than a proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8, must be received by the Fund’s Secretary at the Fund’s principal executive

offices not earlier than December ~~29, 2015~~7, 2016 and not later than January ~~28, 2016~~6, 2017 (which is also the date after which shareholder nominations and proposals made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act would not be considered “timely” within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act). If a proposal is not “timely” within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c), then the persons named as proxies in the proxies solicited by the Board for the ~~2016~~2017 annual meeting of shareholders may exercise discretionary voting power with respect to any such proposal.

Expenses of Proxy Solicitation

The cost of the Annual Meeting, including the costs of preparing and mailing the notice, proxy statement and proxy, and the solicitation of proxies, including reimbursement to broker-dealers and others who forwarded proxy materials to their clients, will be borne by the Funds. Costs will be borne by the Funds in proportion to the number of proxies solicited on behalf of a Fund to the total proxies solicited on behalf of all of the Funds. Certain officers of the Fund and certain officers and employees of Guggenheim Funds or their respective affiliates (none of whom will receive additional compensation therefore) may solicit proxies

by telephone, mail, e-mail and/or personal interviews. Brokerage houses, banks and other fiduciaries may be requested to forward proxy solicitation materials to their principals to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies, and will be reimbursed by the Funds for such out-of-pocket expenses.

Other Matters

The management of the Funds knows of no other matters which are to be brought before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters not now known properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

Failure of a quorum to be present at the Annual Meeting may result in an adjournment. The persons named in the enclosed proxy card may also move for an adjournment of any meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to a Proposal if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Fund present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the time of the meeting to be adjourned. The ~~chairperson~~chairman of the Annual Meeting may also adjourn the Annual Meeting. Any adjourned meeting or meetings may be held without the necessity of another notice. The persons named in the enclosed proxy card will vote in favor of any such adjournment if they believe the adjournment and additional proxy solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of each Fund’s shareholders. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares that are present at the meeting.

Please vote promptly by signing and dating each enclosed proxy card and returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope or by following the enclosed instructions to vote by telephone or over the Internet.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Shareholder Meeting to be Held on April ~~29, 2015~~6, 2016
