The following questions and answers provide an overviewAs of the Proposal on which you are being asked to vote. Please readRecord Date, the remainder of this Proxy Statement for additional information and further details about the ProposalTrustees, nominees and the Board’sofficers of each Fund as a group and PIMCO’s rationale for recommending itindividually beneficially owned less than one percent (1%) of each Fund’s outstanding Shares and, to Shareholders. Your vote is important.the knowledge of the Funds, no person beneficially owned more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Shares of PDI, and the following entities beneficially owned more than five percent (5%) of a class of PHK

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q:WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED?

A:The Board and PIMCO are recommending that PIMCO, the Funds’ current sub-adviser, replace its affiliate AGIFM as the investment manager of each Fund pursuant to a proposed new investment management agreement between the Fund and PIMCO (the “Proposed Agreement”). Under the Proposed Agreement, PIMCO would continue to provide the day-to-day portfolio management services it currently provides to each Fund as its sub-adviser and would also assume responsibility for the supervisory and administrative services currently provided by AGIFM to each Fund as its investment manager. The same investment professionals who are currently responsible for managing each Fund’s portfolio will continue to do so following the proposed transition, and PIMCO personnel will replace AGIFM personnel as Fund officers and in other roles to provide and/or oversee the administrative, accounting/financial reporting, compliance, legal, marketing, transfer agency, shareholder servicing and other services required for the daily operations of the Funds.

Q:HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?

A:The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Proposal for your Fund, as described in this Proxy Statement.

Q:WHY ARE THE BOARD AND PIMCO RECOMMENDING THIS CHANGE IN THE FUNDS’ MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE AT THIS TIME?

A:

AGIFM and PIMCO are affiliates that are part of the global asset management business of Allianz SE (ALV.XE) (“Allianz”); each is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P.

Beneficial Owner

 (“AAM”). Effective January 1, 2012, Allianz reorganized its asset management business under AAM to give better visibility to its two main brands, PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors, and to better enable each asset management business to serve its clients worldwide. Allianz developed this new approach in an effort to move away from a familyFund

Percentage of boutiques model to a clear “two pillar” structure (i.e., with Allianz Global Investors and PIMCO as the two pillars). The reorganization was also designed to allow for clearer branding and product differentiation between PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors for intermediaries, clients and the investing public to allow for greater focus and exposure for the breadth and strengthOwnership of productsClass

Citigroup1

PHK60.00% of both the PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors brands worldwide.Preferred Shares

While AGIFM has served the Funds well for many years, the proposal to replace AGIFM with PIMCO as the Funds’ investment manager and assume responsibility for supervisory and administrative services for the Funds is a natural next step in the broader PIMCO/Allianz Global Investors reorganization effort initiated in 2012. Following the proposed transition, PIMCO will assume sole management responsibility for the Funds and AGIFM will continue to serve as manager/administrator for numerous other closed- and open-end funds managed within the Allianz Global Investors pillar of the Allianz asset management business.

As described below, the Board and PIMCO also believe that the Proposal will benefit Shareholders of each Fund.

WHAT ARE THE EXPECTED BENEFITS TO SHAREHOLDERS OF MOVING TO THE NEW PIMCO-ONLY MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE?PHK14.02% of Preferred Shares

 

A:1The Board

Shares jointly owned by Citigroup Inc. (399 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10043) and PIMCO believe that the Funds’ Shareholders will benefit by moving to a PIMCO-only management structure. This is because PIMCO can offer the Funds an integrated set of high-quality investment management, administrativeCitigroup Global Markets Inc., Citigroup Financial Products Inc. and distribution/aftermarket support services under a single platform, which we believe will allow for greater efficiencies and enhanced coordination among various investment management and administrative functions. The PIMCO fund administration group is well integrated with all critical functions related to the PIMCO funds business, including portfolio management, compliance, legal, accounting and tax, account management, marketing, shareholder communications/services and technology. We believe that the Funds and Shareholders will benefit by having all these services provided “under one roof” by the highly experienced team at PIMCO.Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (388 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10013).

PROPOSAL: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

In accordance with each Fund’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (each, a “Declaration”), the Trustees have been divided into the following three classes (each a “Class”): Class I, Class II and Class III. Each Fund’s Nominating Committee has recommended Craig A. Dawson, Bradford K. Gallagher and James A. Jacobson (the “nominees”) for election or re-election, as applicable, as Trustees by Shareholders of the applicable Fund.

PHK. With respect to PHK, the term of office of the Class II Trustees will expire at the Meeting; the term of office of the Class III Trustees will expire at the annual meeting of Shareholders for the 2015-2016 fiscal year (i.e., the annual meeting for the fiscal year running from March 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016); and the term of office of the Class I Trustees will expire at the annual meeting of Shareholders for the 2016-2017 fiscal year (i.e., the annual meeting for the fiscal year running from March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017). Currently, Bradford K. Gallagher, James A. Jacobson and Craig A. Dawson are Class II Trustees. On March 10, 2014, the Board of PHK appointed Craig A. Dawson to serve as a Class II Trustee, which appointment became effective at the close of business on September 5, 2014. Pursuant to the Fund’s Bylaws, as a Trustee appointed to fill a vacancy on the Fund’s Board, Mr. Dawson must stand for election at the Meeting, which is the next annual meeting of Shareholders of the Fund following such appointment. The Nominating Committee has recommended to the Board that Mr. Dawson be nominated for election and Mr. Gallagher be nominated for re-election by the Common Shareholders and Preferred Shareholders, voting as a single class, as Class II Trustees at the Meeting and that Mr. Jacobson be nominated for re-election by the Preferred Shareholders, voting as a separate class, as a Class II Trustee at the Meeting. Consistent with the Fund’s Declaration, if re-elected, the nominees shall hold office for terms coinciding with the Classes of Trustees to which they have been designated. Therefore, if elected or re-elected, as applicable, at the Meeting,

Messrs. Dawson, Gallagher and Jacobson will serve terms consistent with the Class II Trustees, which will expire at the Fund’s annual meeting of Shareholders for the 2017-2018 fiscal year (i.e., the annual meeting for the fiscal year running from March 1, 2017 through February 28, 2018).

PDI. With respect to PDI, the term of office of the Class II Trustees will expire at the Meeting; the term of office of the Class III Trustees will expire at the annual meeting of Shareholders for the 2015-2016 fiscal year (i.e., the annual meeting for the fiscal year running from March 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016); and the term of office of the Class I Trustees will expire at the annual meeting of Shareholders for the 2016-2017 fiscal year (i.e., the annual meeting for the fiscal year running from March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017). Currently, Bradford K. Gallagher, James A. Jacobson and Craig A. Dawson are Class II Trustees. On March 10, 2014, the Board of PDI appointed Craig A. Dawson to serve as a Class II Trustee, which appointment became effective at the close of business on September 5, 2014. Pursuant to the Fund’s Bylaws, as a Trustee appointed to fill a vacancy on the Fund’s Board, Mr. Dawson must stand for election at the Meeting, which is the next annual meeting of Shareholders of the Fund following such appointment. The Nominating Committee has recommended to the Board that Messrs. Dawson, Gallagher and Jacobson be nominated for election by the Common Shareholders as Class II Trustees at the Meeting. Consistent with the rationale behindFund’s Declaration, if elected, the broader Allianz Global Investors/PIMCO restructuring mentioned above,nominees shall hold office for terms coinciding with the proposed PIMCO-only management structureClasses of Trustees to which they have been designated. Therefore, if elected at the Meeting, Messrs. Dawson, Gallagher and Jacobson will serve terms consistent with the Class II Trustees, which will expire at the Fund’s annual meeting of Shareholders for the Funds aligns2017-2018 fiscal year (i.e., the annual meeting for the fiscal year running from March 1, 2017 through February 28, 2018).

All members of the Board of each Fund are and will remain, if elected, “Continuing Trustees,” as such term is defined in the Declaration of the applicable Fund, having either served as Trustee since the inception of the Fund or for thirty-six months, or having been nominated by at least a majority of the Continuing Trustees then members of the Board.

At any annual meeting of Shareholders, any Trustee elected to fill a vacancy that has arisen since the preceding annual meeting of Shareholders (whether or not such vacancy has been filled by election of a new Trustee by the Board) shall hold office for a term that coincides with the “two pillar” approach adopted by Allianz with respect to other PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors products globally. In this regard, we believe that the change will facilitate clearer branding and marketingremaining term of the FundsClass of Trustees to which such office was previously assigned, if such vacancy arose other than by an increase in the number of Trustees, and will helpuntil his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify. In the event such vacancy arose due to avoid potential confusion among intermediaries, analysts and investors asan increase in the number of Trustees, any Trustee so elected to whether the Funds are PIMCO and/or Allianz Global Investors products.

Q:WILL THE FEES AND EXPENSES CHARGED BY THE FUNDS TO SHAREHOLDERS CHANGE OR INCREASE AS A RESULT OF THE PROPOSAL?

A:In connection with the proposed management transition, the Board and PIMCO are proposing that the Funds adopt a so-called “unified” management fee structure under the Proposed Agreement, consistent with the fee structure in place for other U.S. registered funds and other products managed by PIMCO.

Currently, each Fund pays an investment management fee under its existing investment management agreement with AGIFM (each, a “Current Agreement,” and, together, the “Current Agreements”), which covers portfolio management services and certain administrative services provided by AGIFM. AGIFM, in turn, retains PIMCO as sub-adviser pursuant to a portfolio management agreement for each Fund between AGIFM and PIMCO (each, a “Portfolio Management Agreement,” and, together, the “Portfolio Management Agreements”) to provide the portfolio management services required under each Current Agreement, and AGIFM compensates PIMCO forfill such services out of the investment management fees it receives under the Fund’s Current Agreement. In addition to the management fee it pays under its Current Agreement, each Fund directly bears expenses for other administrative services and costs, including expenses associated with various third-party service providers, such as audit, custodial, legal, transfer agency, printing and other services required by the Funds.

In contrast, under the Proposed Agreement, each Fund would pay PIMCO a management fee that covers the portfolio management and administrative services covered under the Current Agreement, and PIMCO, at its expense, would be required to procure most other supervisory and administrative services required by the Funds that are currently paid for or incurred by the Funds directly outside of the Current Agreements (such fees and expenses, “Operating Expenses”). Operating Expenses include, but are not limited to, expenses of most third-party services providers (e.g., audit, custodial, legal, transfer agency, printing) and other expenses, such as those associated with

*A Trustee re-elected or elected at an annual meeting shall hold 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.

Under this classified Board structure, generally only those Trustees 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 under normal circumstances. This structure, which may be regarded as an “anti-takeover” provision, may make it more difficult for a Fund’s Shareholders to change the majority of Trustees of the Fund and, thus, promotes the continuity of management.

Unless authority is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy solicitations and mailings for shareholder meetings, New York Stock Exchange listing and related fees, tax services, valuation services and other services requireda Fund to vote each proxy for the Funds’ daily operations.persons listed above for that Fund. Each of the nominees has indicated he or she will serve if elected, but if he or she should be unable to serve for a Fund, the proxy holders may vote in favor of such substitute nominee as the Board may designate (or, alternatively, the Board may determine to leave a vacancy).

Trustees and Officers

The Board and PIMCO believe that the proposed new “unified” fee structure would be beneficial for Common Shareholders because it provides a unified management fee (including Operating Expenses) structure that is essentially fixed, making it more predictable under ordinary circumstances in comparison to the current fee and expense structure, under which the Funds’ Operating Expenses (including certain third-party fees and expenses) not covered by the Current Agreements can vary over time. The proposed unified fee structure also generally insulates the Funds and Common Shareholders from increases in applicable third-party and certain other expenses because PIMCO, rather than the Funds, would bear the risk of such increases (while at the same time PIMCO would benefit from any reductions in such expenses).

Because the proposed unified fee arrangement under the Proposed Agreement covers a greater amount of supervisory and administrative services and related costs than under the Current Agreements, the proposed contractual management fee rates under the Proposed Agreement for each Fund are higher than the management fee rates currently imposed under the corresponding Current Agreement (except for PDI and PCI, whose proposed management fee rates are the same under the Proposed Agreement and the corresponding Current Agreements). However, in determining the proposed unified management fee rate to be paid to PIMCO by each Fund under the Proposed Agreement, PIMCO reviewed the Fund’s total expenses, including its current contractual management fee and other expenses currently borne by the Fund outside of the applicable Current Agreement, and the Fund’s leverage outstanding during calendar year 2013. Based on this review, PIMCO proposed a management fee rate that PIMCO estimates will result in the Fund’s total expenses paid by Common Shareholders being lower under the Proposed Agreement than under the corresponding Current Agreement (based on calendar year 2013 expenses). PIMCO therefore estimates that the proposed new arrangement will result in an overall savings to Common Shareholdersbusiness of each Fund is managed under ordinary circumstances. In developing the proposed fee structure for each Fund other than PDI and PCI, PIMCO, after discussions withdirection of the Fund’s Board determined a 20% reductionof Trustees. Subject to the provisions of each Fund’s actual Operating Expenses for calendar year 2013, converted that amountDeclaration, its Bylaws and applicable state law, the Trustees have all powers necessary and convenient to basis pointscarry out this responsibility, including the election and rounded toremoval of the next lowest half or whole basis point in arriving at a proposed unified fee rate for the Fund. With respect to PDI and PCI, PIMCO, after discussions with the Board, determined to propose a unified management fee rate under theFund’s officers.

Proposed Agreement atBoard Leadership Structure — Currently, and assuming the same rate that is currently charged undernominees are elected as proposed, the Current Agreements for those Funds, such that PIMCO will bear all Operating Expenses for those Funds under the proposed new unified fee structure with no increase in the fee rate charged under the current non-unified fee structure.

The proposed fee rates are designed to allow the Funds and their Common Shareholders to share up front in operational efficiencies PIMCO will attempt to realize with respect to the Funds’ Operating Expenses as a resultBoard of the proposed transition. The anticipated savings toTrustees of each Fund are reflected in the “Operating Expenses” table below.

There is no assurance that a Fund’s total expenses paid under the Proposed Agreementconsists and will not exceed what the Fund would incur under its Current Agreement in certain circumstances, including if the Fund’s Operating Expenses (which are currently borne by the Fund outsidecontinue to consist of its Current Agreement and would be borne by PIMCO under the Proposed Agreement) decline in future periods. Also, the proposed unified fee rates under the Proposed Agreement would be charged for applicable Funds on assets attributable to preferred shares and/or certain other formseight Trustees, six of leverage that may be obtained and utilized by a Fund. Under the Proposed Agreement, because a Fund’s outstanding leverage on which the fee is charged may vary, a Fund’s total expenses paid by Common Shareholders could be higher or lower under the Proposed Agreement than is estimated and could exceed what a Fund would incur under its Current Agreement.

The Funds would be required to directly bear certain expenses outside of the Proposed Agreement which the Funds also directly bear under the Current Agreements, including fees and expenses of the Trustees/Directors whowhom are not “interested persons” (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Fund or of the Manager (the “Independent Trustees”). An Independent Trustee serves as Chairman of the Trustees and is selected by a vote of the majority of the Independent Trustees. The Chairman presides at meetings of the Board and acts as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys and other Trustees generally between meetings, and performs such other functions as may be requested by the Board from time to time.

The Board of Trustees of each Fund meets regularly four times each year to discuss and consider matters concerning the Funds, (each, an “Independent Trustee/Director” and collectively,also holds special meetings to address matters arising between regular meetings. The Independent Trustees regularly meet outside the “Independent Trustees/Directors”) as definedpresence of management and are advised by independent legal counsel. Regular meetings generally take place in-person; other meetings may take place in-person or by telephone.

The Board of Trustees has established four standing Committees to facilitate oversight of the management of the Funds: the Audit Oversight Committee, the Nominating Committee, the Valuation Committee and the Compensation Committee. The functions and role of each Committee are described below under “— Board Committees and Meetings.” The membership of each Committee consists of all of the Independent Trustees, which the Board believes allows them to participate in the Investment Company Actfull range of 1940, as amendedthe Board’s oversight duties.

The Board reviews its leadership structure periodically and 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 each Fund. In reaching this conclusion, the Board considered, among other things, the predominant role of the Manager in the day-to-day management of Fund affairs, the extent to which the work of the Board is conducted through the Committees, the number of portfolios overseen by the Board that are advised by the Manager or have an investment adviser that is an affiliated person of the Manager (the “1940 Act”“Fund Complex”), and their counsel, interest expensethe variety of asset classes those portfolios include, the net assets of each Fund and other expenses associated with incurring leverage, fees and expenses of any underlying funds or pooled vehicles in which a Fund invests, dividend and interest expense associated with short positions, other portfolio transaction expenses and extraordinary legal expenses, among others. These categories of expenses will be variable under both the Current and Proposed Agreements, and may result in higher or lower total expenses for a Fund in comparison to calendar year 2013 or other periods, but would not be expected to differ as between the current and proposed fee and expense structures.

It is noted that Preferred Shareholders of applicable Funds do not bear any portion of a Fund’s management fees or other expenses and therefore should not be impacted economicallyportfolios overseen by the proposed new feeBoard in the Fund Complex and expense structure.the management and other service arrangements of each Fund and such other portfolios. The Board also believes that its structure, including the presence of two Trustees who are executives with the Manager or Manager-affiliated entities, facilitates an efficient flow of information concerning the management of each Fund to the Independent Trustees.

Risk Oversight — Each of the Funds has retained the Manager to provide investment advisory services and administrative services. The tables below are intendedManager is principally responsible for the management of risks that may arise from Fund investments and operations. Some employees of the Manager serve as the Funds’ officers, including the Funds’ principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, chief compliance officer and chief legal officer. The Manager employs processes, procedures and controls to help you understand howidentify and manage different types of risks that may affect the fees and expenses paidFunds. The Board oversees the performance of these functions by the Funds would differ under each Current AgreementManager, both directly and through the Committee structure it has established. The Board receives from the Manager a wide range of reports, both on a regular and as-needed basis, relating to the Funds’ activities and to the actual and potential risks of the Funds. These include reports on investment and market risks, custody and valuation of Fund assets, compliance with applicable laws, and the Proposed Agreement (i.e., giving effectFunds’ financial accounting and reporting. In addition, the Board meets periodically with the individual portfolio managers of the Funds or their delegates to receive reports regarding the portfolio management of the Funds and their performance, including their investment risks. The Board has emphasized to the unified fee structure)Manager the importance of maintaining vigorous risk-management programs and procedures.

In addition, the Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The “Contractual Management Fee Rates” table showsCCO oversees the contractual management fee rates under the Current Agreementsdevelopment of compliance policies and the proposed contractual management fee rates under the Proposed Agreement.

The “Operating Expenses” table shows each Fund’s actual aggregate Operating Expenses (expressed in dollars) incurred during calendar year 2013 and compares, for each Fund, the actual aggregate Operating Expenses incurred by the Fund in calendar year 2013 plus its management fee paid to AGIFM under the Current Agreements in calendar year 2013 (i.e., essentially the same fees and expensesprocedures that are proposedreasonably designed to be covered in return forminimize the unified fee rate under the Proposed Agreement) to estimatesrisk of violations of the aggregate management fee (which includesfederal securities laws (“Compliance Policies”). The CCO reports directly to the Fund’s Operating Expenses)Independent Trustees, interacts with individuals within the Manager’s organization and provides presentations to the Board at its quarterly meetings and an annual report on the application of the Compliance Policies. The Board periodically discusses relevant risks affecting the Funds with the CCO at these meetings. The Board has approved the Compliance Policies and reviews the CCO’s reports. Further, the Board annually reviews the sufficiency of the Compliance Policies, as well as the appointment and compensation of the CCO.

The Board recognizes that the Fund would have paid PIMCO under the Proposed Agreement if the Proposed Agreement and unified fee had been in place for calendar year 2013, taking into account the effectsreports it receives concerning risk management matters are, by their nature, typically summaries of the Fund’s leverage outstanding for calendar year 2013. The “Operating Expenses” table doesrelevant information. Moreover, the Board recognizes that not reflect fees and expenses paid byall risks that may affect the Funds during calendar year 2013can be identified in advance; that wouldit may not be covered under the unified fee rate, as discussed above.

The “Effective Management Fees and Annual Expenses” table compares the effective management fee rates and total annual expense ratios for each Fund under the Current Agreements for calendar year 2013 and estimates under the Proposed Agreement for the same period, taking into account the effects of the Fund’s leverage outstanding for calendar year 2013 (unless otherwise noted).

The Board’s and PIMCO’s Rationale for the Proposal

Background. AGIFM and PIMCO are affiliates that are part of the global asset management business of Allianz; each is a direct or indirect subsidiary of AAM. Effective January 1, 2012, Allianz reorganized its asset management business under AAM to give better visibility to its two main brands, PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors, and to better enable each asset management business to serve its clients worldwide. Among other significant changes resulting from this reorganization was the establishment of a U.S. registered broker-dealer subsidiary of PIMCO in the United States, known as PIMCO Investments LLC (“PIMCO Investments”), which now distributes all funds managed and administered exclusively by PIMCO in the United States. PIMCO Investments assumed this role from another Allianz affiliate that previously distributed both Allianz Global Investors funds and products and funds and products managed and administered exclusively by PIMCO. PIMCO, through non-U.S. PIMCO affiliates, has also assumed responsibility for distributing PIMCO funds and products outside of the United States. Allianz developed this new approach in an effort to move away from a family of boutiques model to a clear “two pillar” structure (i.e., with Allianz Global Investors and PIMCO as the two pillars). The reorganization was also designed to allow for clearer branding and product differentiation between PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors for intermediaries, clients and the investing public to allow for greater focus and exposure for the breadth and strength of products of both the PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors brands worldwide.

While AGIFM has served the Funds well for many years, the proposal to replace AGIFM with PIMCO as the Funds’ investment manager and assume responsibility for supervisory and administrative services for the Funds is a natural next step in the broader PIMCO/Allianz Global Investors reorganization effort initiated in 2012. Following the proposed transition, PIMCO will assume sole management responsibility for the Funds and AGIFM will continue to serve as manager/administrator for numerous other closed- and open-end funds managed within the Allianz Global Investors pillar of the Allianz asset management business.

Operational and Administrative Efficiencies. The Board and PIMCO believe that the Funds’ Shareholders will benefit by moving to a PIMCO-only management structure due, in part, to the operational and administrative efficiencies that are expected to result from the transition. In coming to this conclusion, the Board and PIMCO considered, among other things, the following factors:

PIMCO can offer the Funds an integrated set of high-quality investment management, administrative and distribution/aftermarket support services under a single platform, which the Board and PIMCO

15


believe will allow for greater efficiencies and enhanced coordination among various investment management and administrative functions.

The fund administration group at PIMCO, currently comprised of approximately 140 professionals worldwide, provides administrative services for approximately $860 billion in assets under management globally (as of October 31, 2013), including over 150 PIMCO open-end funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) which, like the Funds, are U.S. registered investment companies.

PIMCO has substantial prior experience in the administration of U.S. registered closed-end funds (including RCS and PCM prior to 2009).

The PIMCO fund administration group is well integrated with all critical functions related to the PIMCO funds business, including portfolio management, compliance, legal, accounting and tax, account management, marketing, shareholder communications/services and technology. The Board and PIMCO believe that the Funds and Shareholders will benefit by having all such services provided “under one roof” by the highly experienced team at PIMCO.

Consistent with the rationale behind the broader Allianz Global Investors/PIMCO restructuring mentioned above, the proposed PIMCO-only management structure for the Funds aligns with the “two pillar” approach adopted by Allianz with respect to other PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors products globally. In this regard, the Board and PIMCO believe that the change will facilitate clearer branding and marketing of the Funds and will help to avoid potential confusion among intermediaries, analysts and investors as to whether the Funds are PIMCO and/or Allianz Global Investors products.

The same investment professionals who are currently responsible for managing each Fund’s portfolio will continue to do so following the proposed transition, and each Fund will continue to have the same investment objective(s) and policies following the transition.

Unified Fee. In addition to the expected benefits of the operational and administrative efficiencies described above, the Board and PIMCO also expect that the “unified” fee structure will provide benefits to the Common Shareholders, including, among others:

The unified fee structure provides a management fee (including Operating Expenses) structure that is essentially fixed, making it more predictable under ordinary circumstances in comparison to the current fee and expense rate structure, under which the Funds’ Operating Expenses (including certain third-party fees and expenses) not covered by the Current Agreements can vary over time.

16


The unified fee structure generally insulates the Funds and Common Shareholders from increases in applicable third-party and certain other expenses because PIMCO, rather than the Funds, would bear the risk of such increases (while at the same time PIMCO would benefit from any reductions in such expenses).

The unified fee structure limits the potential risk to the Funds’ Common Shareholders of increased expenses resulting from the constantly evolving regulatory environment.

In determining the proposed unified management fee rate to be paid to PIMCO by each Fund under the Proposed Agreement, PIMCO reviewed the Fund’s total expenses, including its current contractual management fee and other expenses currently borne by the Fund outside of the applicable Current Agreement, and the Fund’s leverage outstanding during calendar year 2013. Based on this review, PIMCO proposed a management fee rate that PIMCO estimates will result in the Fund’s total expenses paid by Common Shareholders being lower under the Proposed Agreement than under the corresponding Current Agreement. PIMCO therefore estimates that the proposed new arrangement will result in an overall savings to Common Shareholders of each Fund under ordinary circumstances. The proposed fee rates are designed to allow the Funds and their Common Shareholders to share up front in operational efficiencies PIMCO will attempt to realize with respect to the Funds’ Operating Expenses as a result of the proposed transition. As discussed above in the “Questions and Answers” section, there is no assurance that a Fund’s total expenses paid under the Proposed Agreement will not exceed what the Fund would incur under its Current Agreement in certain circumstances.

Description of the Current Agreements

AGIFM currently serves as the investment manager for each Fund pursuant to the applicable Current Agreement. The Board of each Fund (other than PDI and PCI), including a majority of the Independent Trustees/Directors of each Fund, most recently approved the continuation of each Fund’s Current Agreement on June 25, 2013. The Current Agreement for PDI was last approved by the Board on March 10-11, 2014, and the Current Agreement for PCI was last approved by the Board on December 12, 2012. The following chart provides the date of the Current Agreement with respect to each Fund and the date such agreement was last submitted to such Fund’s Shareholders for approval. The Current Agreement for each Fund (other than PCM and RCS) was last submitted to the Fund’s sole initial Shareholder in connection with such Fund’s organization. The Current Agreements for PCM and RCS were last submitted to Shareholders in connection with AGIFM becoming the investment manager of those Funds in 2008.

PIMCO formerly served as the investment manager to PCM and RCS pursuant to separate investment management agreements with those Funds. The investment management agreements between PIMCO and PCM and PIMCO and RCS were terminated on April 23, 2008 and June 10, 2008, respectively, in connection with AGIFM becoming the investment manager, and PIMCO becoming the sub-adviser, to those Funds. Between June 10, 2008 and August 27, 2008, AGIFM and PIMCO served as the investment manager and sub-adviser, respectively, to RCS pursuant to an interim investment management agreement and an interim portfolio management agreement, respectively.

*In addition to the PIMCO-Managed Funds, which are advised by the Manager, during each Fund’s most recently completed calendar year, all of the Trustees (other than Mr. Dawson) served as trustees of the Allianz-Managed Funds, which are managed by an affiliate of the Manager.

16


**Mr. Dawson became a Trustee of the Funds effective at the close of business on September 5, 2014. He does not receive compensation from the Funds.

Subsequent to September 5, 2014, in connection with a new investment management agreement between the PIMCO-Managed Funds and the Manager and the termination of the investment management agreement between the PIMCO-Managed Funds and AGIFM (see “Additional Information — Investment Manager” below), each of the PIMCO-Managed Funds began holding, and are expected to continue to hold, joint meetings of their Boards of Trustees whenever possible, but will generally no longer hold joint meetings with the Allianz-Managed Funds. Under the new Board structure, each Independent Trustee currently receives annual compensation of $225,000 for his or her service on the Boards of the PIMCO-Managed Funds, payable quarterly. The Independent Chairman of the Boards receives an additional $75,000 per year, payable quarterly. The Audit Oversight Committee Chairman receives an additional $50,000 annually, payable quarterly. Trustees are also reimbursed for meeting-related expenses.

Each Trustee’s compensation for his or her service as a Trustee on the Boards of the PIMCO-Managed Funds and other costs in connection with joint meetings of such Funds are allocated among the PIMCO-Managed Funds, as applicable, on the basis of fixed percentages as between PMAT and PIMCO Closed-End Funds. Trustee compensation and other costs will then be further allocated pro rata among the individual funds within each grouping based on each such fund’s relative net assets.

The Funds have no employees. The Funds’ officers, Mr. Dawson and Mr. Maney are compensated by the Manager or one of its affiliates, as applicable.

Trustee Qualifications — The Board has determined that each Trustee is qualified to serve as such based on several factors (none of which alone is decisive). Each Trustee, with the exception of Mr. Dawson, has served in such role for several years, and is knowledgeable about the Funds’ business and service provider arrangements, and has also served for several years as trustee or director to a number of other investment companies advised by the Manager and its affiliates. Among the factors the Board considered when concluding that an individual is qualified to serve on the Board were the following: (i) the individual’s business and professional experience and accomplishments; (ii) the individual’s ability to work effectively with other members of the Board; (iii) the individual’s prior experience, if any, serving on the boards of public companies (including, where relevant, other investment companies) and other complex

17


enterprises and organizations; and (iv) how the individual’s skills, experiences and attributes would contribute to an appropriate mix of relevant skills and experience on the Board.

In respect of each current Trustee, the individual’s substantial professional accomplishments and prior experience, including, in some cases, in fields related to the operations of the Funds, were a significant factor in the determination by the Board that the individual is qualified to serve as a Trustee of the Funds. The following is a summary of various qualifications, experiences and skills of each Trustee (in addition to business experience during the past five years set forth in the table above) that contributed to the Board’s conclusion that an individual is qualified to serve on the Board.

Description of the Portfolio Management Agreements

PIMCO currently serves as the sub-adviserCommon Shares of each Fund pursuant to the applicable Portfolio Management Agreement between AGIFM and PIMCO. If the Proposal is approved with respect to a Fund, the Fund’s Portfolio Management Agreement will terminate in connection with the effectiveness of the Fund’s Proposed Agreement and the Fund will no longer have a sub-adviser. It is expected that, following the approval of the Proposed Agreement, the same PIMCO investment professionals who are currently responsible for managing each Fund’s portfolio will continue to do so in PIMCO’s capacity as investment manager under the Proposed Agreement. For additional information regarding the terms of the Portfolio Management Agreements, please refer toAppendix B.listed.

Description of the Proposed Agreement

At an in-person meeting held on March 10-11, 2014, theThe Board of each Fund includinghas adopted a written charter for its Audit Oversight Committee.

The Nominating Committee of each Fund may, but is not required to, retain a third party search firm at a Fund’s expense to identify potential candidates.

Consideration of Candidates Recommended by Shareholders. The Nominating Committee of each Fund will review and consider nominees recommended by Shareholders to serve as Trustees, provided that the recommending Shareholder follows the “Procedures for Shareholders to Submit Nominee Candidates for the PIMCO Sponsored Closed-End Funds,” which are set forth as Appendix A.B to the Funds’ Nominating Committee Charter.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees of each Fund will have the benefit of the investment analysis and research, the review of current economic conditions and trends and the consideration of long-range investment policy generally available to investment advisory clients of PIMCO. If the Proposed Agreement is approved, PIMCO intends for the same teams of investment professionals to continue to manage each Fund’s investment portfolio and, as such, it is not expected that the day-to-day portfolio management services providedhas adopted procedures by which Shareholders may send communications to the Funds will change. Unlike the Current Agreements, the Proposed Agreement does not contemplate that PIMCO will select and contract with third-party portfolio managers for the Funds.

In addition, under the terms of the Proposed Agreement, subjectBoard.

Fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily net assets (including daily net assets attributable to any preferred shares of the Fund that may be outstanding).

2.

Fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily “total managed assets,” which means the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, borrowings and preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and borrowings).

3.

Fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily “total managed assets,” which means the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any preferred shares and borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings).

Fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily “total managed assets,” which means the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements, borrowings and preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings).

As is the case with the Current Agreements, the Proposed Agreement provides that the assets on which the management fee will be charged include assets attributable to any Preferred Shares issued by a Fund and, with respect to certain Funds, other forms of leverage that may be outstanding (such as through reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and/or borrowings). The types of leverage upon which the management fee will be charged for each Fund (which varies from Fund to Fund as noted in the footnotes to the table above) will be the same under the Proposed Agreement as it is for the Fund under its Current Agreement. However, the contractual management fee rates under the Proposed Agreement are higher for each Fund than under its Current Agreement (except for PDI and PCI, whose proposed management fee rates are the same under the

25


Proposed Agreement and the corresponding Current Agreements) because the unified fee rates under the Proposed Agreement cover the Fund’s Operating Expenses (including certain third-party fees and expenses), which are currently paid for or incurred by the Funds directly outside of the Current Agreements and therefore are not included in the management fee rates under the Current Agreements. Therefore, in general, total expenses payable by Common Shareholders under the Proposed Agreement will vary more with increases and decreases in applicable leverage incurred by a Fund than under the Current Agreements (except with respect to PDI and PCI).

As under the Current Agreements, because the fees to be received by PIMCO under the Proposed Agreement are based on assets attributable to any Preferred Shares, and, with respect to PCI, PDI, PGP, PKO and PCM, certain other forms of leverage (such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and/or borrowings) that may be outstanding, PIMCO has a financial incentive for the Funds to issue or maintain Preferred Shares, or, in the case of PCI, PDI, PGP, PKO and PCM, use and/or increase other forms of leverage, which may result in a conflict of interest between PIMCO and the Common Shareholders of the applicable Fund, and this incentive will be greater with respect to each Fund (other than PDI and PCI) under the Proposed Agreement in comparison to the Current Agreements. However, as always, PIMCO will use leverage for the Funds solely as it determines to be in the best interests of the Funds from an investment perspective and without regard to the level of compensation its receives.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses Under the Current Agreements and the Proposed Agreement. The following table provides a comparison of the aggregate fees (expressed in dollars) paid to AGIFM under the CurrentAgreement for each Fund to the aggregate fees that PIMCO would have received under the Proposed Agreement for such Fund if the Proposed Agreement had been in place for the year ended December 31, 2013. The table also compares each Fund’s total expenses (expressed in dollars) incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013 with estimates of total expenses that the Fund would have incurred under the Proposed Agreement and unified fee structure during the same period, assuming that the unified fee was imposed on assets attributable to preferred shares and/or other forms of leverage outstanding, as applicable, during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Assuming that a Fund was subject to the Proposed Agreement (rather than its Current Agreement) during the entire calendar year ended December 31, 2013. Thepro forma aggregate management fees also assume that the unified fee under the Proposed Agreement was imposed, as applicable, on assets attributable to preferred shares and/or other forms of leverage outstanding during the period pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Agreement for the particular Fund (as discussed above).

2.

Assuming that a Fund was subject to the Proposed Agreement (rather than its Current Agreement) during the calendar year ended December 31, 2013 and incurred the same level of expenses that are not covered under the proposed unified fee (such as interest expense, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees/Directors and their counsel and any extraordinary expenses) during the period. Thepro forma total expenses also assume that the unified fee under the Proposed Agreement was imposed, as applicable, on assets attributable to preferred shares and/or other forms of leverage outstanding during the period pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Agreement for the particular Fund (as discussed above). These expenses are only estimates. The actual expenses could vary and could exceed the

27


amounts shown and/or the amounts the Funds would have incurred under the Current Agreements under certain circumstances. See the discussion above in the “Questions and Answers” section for further information on why these estimates may vary.

3.

Annualized. PCI commenced operations on January 31, 2013.

4.

The total annual expenses in calendar year 2013 under the Current Agreements and estimatedpro forma total annual expenses under the Proposed Agreement reflect the interest expense on inverse floating rate investments deemed to be paid by the Fund for accounting purposes during its most recently completed fiscal year. The interest expenses from inverse floating rate investments incurred during calendar year 2013 may have been, and in the future may be, higher or lower.

The table below sets forth the total annual expenses incurred by each Fund during the year ended December 31, 2013 (expressed as a percentage of net assets attributable to Common Shares), broken out by category of service/expense, and estimates of thepro forma total annual expenses that each Fund would have incurred during the same period if the Proposed Agreement had been in place. The table illustrates that “Other Expenses” currently payable by the Funds outside of the Current Agreements would be lower under the Proposed Agreement because each Fund’s Operating Expenses, which are currently included in “Other Expenses” under the Current Agreements, would be paid by PIMCO out of the new unified management fee it receives from the Fund under the Proposed Agreement. Although the management fee rates for each Fund shown in the table below are higher under the Proposed Agreement than under the Fund’s Current Agreement (except for PDI and PCI, whose proposed management fee rates are the same under the Proposed Agreement and the corresponding Current Agreement), in determining the proposed unified management fee rate to be paid to PIMCO by each Fund under the Proposed Agreement, PIMCO reviewed the Fund’s total expenses, including its current contractual management fee and other expenses currently borne by the Fund outside of the applicable Current Agreement, and the Fund’s leverage outstanding during calendar year 2013 (unless otherwise noted), and proposed a management fee rate that PIMCO estimates will result in the Fund’s total expenses paid by Common Shareholders being lower under the Proposed Agreement than under the corresponding Current Agreement, as indicated in the table below.

1.

Except in the case of PCI as noted in footnote 9 below, reflects the Fund’s actual expenses during the calendar year ended December 31, 2013. The management fee rates and total expense ratios reflect that the management fee under the Current Agreement was imposed, as applicable, on assets attributable to preferred shares and/or other forms of leverage outstanding during the period pursuant to the terms of the Current Agreement for the particular Fund (as specified in the footnotes below).

30


2.

Assumes that the Fund was subject to the Proposed Agreement (rather than its Current Agreement) during the calendar year ended December 31, 2013 and incurred the same level of expenses that are not covered under the proposed unified fee (such as interest expense, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees/Directors and their counsel and any extraordinary expenses) during the period. Thepro forma management fee rates and total expense ratios also assume that the unified fee under the Proposed Agreement was imposed, as applicable, on assets attributable to preferred shares and/or other forms of leverage outstanding during the period pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Agreement for the particular Fund (as specified in the footnotes below). These expenses are only estimates. The actual expenses could vary and could exceed the amounts shown and/or the amounts the Funds would have incurred under the Current Agreements under certain circumstances. See the discussion above in the “Questions and Answers” section for further information on why these estimates may vary.

3.

Fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily net assets (including daily net assets attributable to any preferred shares of the Fund that may be outstanding).

4.

Fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily “total managed assets,” which means the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, borrowings and preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and borrowings).

5.

Fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily “total managed assets,” which means the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any preferred shares and borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings).

6.

Fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily “total managed assets,” which means the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements, borrowings and preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings).

7.

Reflects the Fund’s actual interest payments on borrowings during the calendar year ended December 31, 2013 (except in the case of PCI, as noted in footnote 9 below). The Fund may use forms of leverage other than and/or in addition to the forms of leverage used during the calendar year ended December 31, 2013, which may be subject to different interest expenses than those estimated above. The actual amount of interest expense borne by the Fund will vary over time in accordance with the level of the Fund’s use of leverage and variations in market interest rates. Interest expense is

31


required to be treated as an expense of the Fund for accounting purposes. Any associated income or gains (or losses) realized from leverage obtained through such instruments is not reflected in the Annual Expenses table above, but would be reflected in the Fund’s performance results.

8.

Represents the interest expense on inverse floating rate investments deemed to be paid by the Fund for accounting purposes during its most recently completed fiscal year. Accounting rules require the Fund to treat interest paid by trusts issuing certain inverse floating rate investments held by the Fund as having been paid (indirectly) by the Fund. Because the Fund also recognizes a corresponding amount of interest income (also indirectly), the Fund’s net asset value, net investment income and total return are not affected by this accounting treatment. The interest expenses from inverse floating rate investments incurred during calendar year 2013 may have been, and in the future may be, higher or lower.

9.

Annualized. PCI commenced operations on January 31, 2013.

See alsoAppendix C for an example of the expenses paid by a Shareholder for each Fund under the Current Agreements and the Proposed Agreement, assuming a $1,000 investment, that the Fund’s assets do not increase or decrease from the average assets during the calendar year ended December 31, 2013 (including through the use of leverage), that the Fund’s total expense ratio remains the same as shown in the Annual Expenses andPro Forma Annual Expenses Tables above and a five percent annual return.

It is noted that Preferred Shareholders of applicable Funds do not bear any portion of a Fund’s management fees or other expenses and therefore should not be impacted economically by the proposed new fee and expense structure.

Effective Date. If the Proposed Agreement is approved by a Fund’s Shareholders, it will take effect with respect to that Fund concurrent with the termination of the Current Agreement and PortfolioInvestment Management Agreement for the Fund. The actual effective date of the Proposed Agreement for a Fund will be at a date and time mutually agreeable to the Fund, PIMCO and AGIFM in order to effect an efficient transition for the Fund and its Shareholders.

Term/Termination/Amendment. The Proposed Agreement, if approved by Shareholders, will remain in full force and effect as to each Fund, unless sooner terminated by such Fund, for an initialone-year period and shall continue thereafter on an annual basis with respect to each Fund provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the

32


Fund or by the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors; and (ii) by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose, of a majority of the Fund’s Independent Trustees/Directors. It can also be terminated with respect to a Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund or by avote of a majority of the Fund’s entire Boardof Trustees/Directors on60 days’ written notice to PIMCO, or by PIMCO on 60 days’ written notice to the Fund. Additionally, the Proposed Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act). The Proposed Agreement may not be materially amended with respect to a Fund or Funds without a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the pertinent Fund or Funds. The Proposed Agreement may be amended from time to time to add new Funds without a vote of the shareholders of any Fund.

Liability. The Proposed Agreement provides that neither PIMCO, nor its members, officers, directors or employees shall be subject to any liability for, or any damages, expenses or losses incurred in connection with, any act or omission or mistake in judgment connected with or arising out of any services rendered under the Proposed Agreement, except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in performance of PIMCO’s duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of PIMCO’s obligations and duties under the Proposed Agreement.

Trustees/Directors’ Considerations Related to the Proposed Agreement

At a meeting of the Board on December 10, 2013, the Board received a preliminary presentation from PIMCO regarding the proposed transition and agreed that PIMCO should prepare materials regarding the Proposed Agreement and related arrangements for formal consideration at the Board’s next regularly scheduled meeting. On February 4, 2014, the Board held a special in-person meeting with members of PIMCO’s senior management and other PIMCO personnel proposed to serve as officers of the Funds to discuss the proposed transition. On February 25, 2014, the Independent Trustees/Directors met separately via conference call with their counsel to discuss materials provided by PIMCO regarding the Proposed Agreement and related arrangements, and representatives from PIMCO attended a portion of that meeting to respond to questions from the Independent Trustees/Directors and to field requests for supplemental information regarding the proposed arrangements. The Board then held an in-person meeting with management on March 10-11, 2014 to consider approval of the Proposed Agreement and related arrangements (the meetings of the Board discussed herein collectively referred to as the “Meetings”). Following careful consideration of the matter as described in more detail herein, the Board of each Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees/Directors, approved the

33


Proposed Agreement for the Fund for an initial one-year term, subject to Shareholder approval. The information, material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approvals for each Fund are described below. As noted, the Independent Trustees/Directors were assisted in their evaluation of the Proposed Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the Meetings.

In connection with their deliberations regarding the approval of the Proposed Agreement, the Trustees/Directors, including the Independent Trustees/Directors, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees/Directors considered the nature, quality and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services to be provided to each Fund by PIMCO under the Proposed Agreement.

In connection with the Meetings, the Trustees/Directors received and relied upon materials provided by PIMCO (or AGIFM, as applicable) which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent third party, on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Funds for various time periods, the investment performance of a group of funds with investment classifications/objectives comparable to those of the Funds identified by Lipper (the “Lipper performance universe”) and, with respect to certain Funds, the performance of an applicable benchmark index, (ii) information provided by Lipper on the Funds’ management fees under the Current Agreements and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper, (iii) information provided by PIMCO on the Funds’ proposed management fee rates and total expense ratios under the Proposed Agreement in comparison to data provided by Lipper on the management fees and total expense ratios of comparable Funds identified by Lipper, (iv) information on the aggregate management fees and total expenses paid by each Fund under its Current Agreement during calendar year 2013 and thepro forma aggregate management fees and total expenses that would have been paid by each Fund under the Proposed Agreement during calendar year 2013, (v) information regarding the investment performance and fees for other funds and accounts managed by PIMCO, if any, with similar investment strategies to those of the Funds, or information regarding the investment performance and fees for other funds and accounts managed by PIMCO with strategies that have similarities (but are not substantially similar) to those of the Funds, if any, (vi) the estimated profitability to AGIFM as investment manager to the Funds for the one-year period ended December 31, 2012, and to PIMCO as sub-adviser to the Funds for the one-year periods ended December 31, 2012 and

34


2013, (vii) estimates of what the profitability to PIMCO would have been under the Proposed Agreement for the one-year period ended December 31, 2013 and what the profitability to PIMCO under the Proposed Agreement is estimated to be for the calendar years ending December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, (viii) information provided by PIMCO on each Fund’s risk-adjusted returns, total returns and yield over various time periods, (ix) descriptions of various functions and services to be performed or procured by PIMCO for the Funds under the Proposed Agreement, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring, portfolio trading, custody, transfer agency, dividend disbursement, recordkeeping, tax, legal, audit, valuation and other administrative and shareholder services and (x) information regarding the overall organization of PIMCO, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel who will provide investment management, administrative and other services to the Funds under the Proposed Agreement. The Trustees noted that because PCI commenced operations on January 31, 2013, certain information provided to the Board with respect to PCI was provided on an annualized basis.

The Trustees’/Directors’ conclusions as to the approval of the Proposed Agreement for each Fund were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees/Directors and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’/Directors’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees/Directors may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

As part of their review, the Trustees/Directors examined PIMCO’s ability to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Funds. Among other information, the Trustees/Directors considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of PIMCO; the experience of key advisory personnel of PIMCO responsible for portfolio management of the Funds; the ability of PIMCO to attract and retain capable personnel; and the capability of the senior management and staff of PIMCO. In addition, the Trustees/Directors reviewed the quality of PIMCO’s services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Funds and conditions that might affect PIMCO’s ability to provide high quality services to the Funds in the future under the Proposed Agreement, including PIMCO’s financial condition and operational stability. The Trustees/Directors took into account their familiarity and experience with PIMCO as the sub-adviser and portfolio manager for each Fund to date, and noted that the same investment professionals who are currently responsible for managing each Fund’s portfolio will continue to do so following the proposed transition. They further noted that each Fund will continue to have the same investment objective(s) and policies following the proposed transition.

35


The Trustees/Directors also considered the nature of certain supervisory and administrative services that PIMCO would be responsible for providing to the Funds under the Proposed Agreement. The Trustees/Directors noted PIMCO’s belief that a number of operational and administrative efficiencies are expected to result from the arrangements under the Proposed Agreement. The Trustees/Directors considered PIMCO’s representation that it could offer the Funds an integrated set of high-quality investment management, administrative and distribution/aftermarket support services under a single platform, which PIMCO believes will allow for greater efficiencies and enhanced coordination among various investment management and administrative functions. The Trustees/Directors also took into account that the fund administration group at PIMCO, currently comprised of approximately 140 professionals worldwide, provides administrative services for approximately $860 billion in assets under management globally (as of October 31, 2013), including over 150 PIMCO open-end funds and ETFs which, like the Funds, are U.S. registered investment companies, and that PIMCO has substantial prior experience in the administration of U.S. registered closed-end funds, including RCS and PCM prior to 2009. The Trustees/Directors also considered PIMCO’s representation that the PIMCO fund administration group is well integrated with all critical functions related to the PIMCO funds business, including portfolio management, compliance, legal, accounting and tax, account management, marketing, shareholder communications/services and technology, and noted PIMCO’s belief that the Funds and Shareholders will benefit by having all such services provided “under one roof” by the highly experienced team at PIMCO. Moreover, the Trustees/Directors noted that the proposed PIMCO-only management structure for the Funds aligns with the “two pillar” approach adopted by Allianz with respect to other PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors products globally, and considered PIMCO’s view that the change will facilitate clearer branding and marketing of the Funds and will help to avoid potential confusion among intermediaries, analysts and investors as to whether the Funds are PIMCO and/or Allianz Global Investors products. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees/Directors concluded that PIMCO’s investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to each Fund given its investment objective and policies, and that PIMCO would be able to provide high quality supervisory and administrative services to the Funds and meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Proposed Agreement.

In assessing the reasonableness of each Fund’s proposed unified management fee rate under the Proposed Agreement, the Trustees/Directors considered, among other information, (i) each Fund’s current and proposed contractual management fee rate, (ii) each Fund’s total expense ratio under its Current Agreement and under the Proposed Agreement calculated on average net assets and on average managed assets, taking into account the effects of the

36


Fund’s leverage outstanding for calendar year 2013, and (iii) the aggregate management fees and estimated total expenses paid by each Fund under its Current Agreement during calendar year 2013 and estimates of thepro forma aggregate management fees and total expenses that would have been paid by each Fund under the Proposed Agreement if it had been in place during calendar year 2013. In this regard, the Trustees/Directors noted that, although the proposed management fee rate to be paid to PIMCO by each Fund under the Proposed Agreement is higher than the management fee rate imposed under the corresponding Current Agreement (except for PDI and PCI, whose proposed management fee rates are the same under the Proposed Agreement and the corresponding Current Agreements), the proposed unified fee arrangement under the Proposed Agreement covers the Fund’s Operating Expenses, which are currently borne directly by the Fund in addition to the management fee paid under the Current Agreement.

In addition, the Trustees/Directors took into account PIMCO’s explanation that, in determining the proposed unified management fee rate to be paid to PIMCO by each Fund under the Proposed Agreement, PIMCO reviewed the Fund’s total expenses, including its current contractual management fee and other expenses currently borne by the Fund outside of the applicable Current Agreement, and the Fund’s leverage outstanding during calendar year 2013, and proposed a management fee rate that PIMCO estimated would result in the Fund’s total expenses paid by Common Shareholders being lower under the Proposed Agreement than under the corresponding Current Agreement (based on calendar year 2013 expenses). The Trustees/Directors noted that PIMCO estimated that the proposed new arrangement would result in an overall savings to Common Shareholders of each Fund under ordinary circumstances. The Trustees/Directors further considered PIMCO’s explanation that, in developing the proposed unified fee structure for each Fund other than PDI and PCI, PIMCO, after discussions with the Board, determined a 20% reduction to the Fund’s actual Operating Expenses for calendar year 2013, converted that amount to basis points and rounded to the next lowest half or whole basis point in arriving at a proposed unified fee rate for the Fund. With respect to PDI and PCI, after discussions with the Trustees, PIMCO determined to propose a unified management fee rate under the Proposed Agreement at the same rate that is currently charged under the Current Agreements for those Funds, such that PIMCO will bear all Operating Expenses for those Funds under the proposed unified fee structure with no increase in the fee rate charged under the current non-unified fee structure. The Board considered PIMCO’s statement that the proposed unified fee rates are designed to allow the Funds and their Common Shareholders to share up front in operational efficiencies PIMCO will attempt to realize with respect to the Funds’ Operating Expenses as a result of the proposed transition.

37


The Trustees/Directors also took into account other expected benefits to shareholders of the proposed unified fee structure under the Proposed Agreement. In this regard, the Trustees/Directors noted PIMCO’s view that the proposed new unified fee structure would be beneficial for Common Shareholders because it provides a management fee (including Operating Expenses) structure that is essentially fixed as a percentage of managed assets, making it more predictable under ordinary circumstances in comparison to the current fee and expense structure, under which the Funds’ Operating Expenses (including certain third-party fees and expenses) not covered by the Current Agreements can vary over time. The Trustees/Directors also considered that the proposed unified fee structure generally insulates the Funds and Common Shareholders from increases in applicable third-party and certain other expenses because PIMCO, rather than the Funds, would bear the risk of such increases (though the Trustees/Directors also noted that PIMCO would benefit from any reductions in such expenses).

The Trustees/Directors also considered the management fees charged by PIMCO to other funds and accounts with similar strategies to those of the Funds, if any, including open-end funds and separate accounts advised by PIMCO. With respect to certain Funds, the Trustees/Directors were advised that PIMCO does not manage any funds or accounts, including institutional or separate accounts, with investment strategies or return profiles similar to those of the Funds. However, in such cases, the Trustees/Directors considered the management fees charged by PIMCO to other funds and accounts with strategies that have similarities (but are not substantially similar) to those of the Funds, if any. The Trustees/Directors noted that the management fees proposed to be paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by such separate account clients. However, the Trustees/Directors were advised by PIMCO that it generally expects to provide broader and more extensive services to the Funds in comparison to separate accounts, and expects to incur additional expenses in connection with the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Funds are subject in comparison to separate accounts generally. The Trustees/Directors noted that the management fees proposed to be paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by any open-end funds offered for comparison, but were advised by PIMCO that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing closed-end funds such as the Funds, such as those associated with the use of leverage and attempting to meet a regular dividend. With respect to PGP and PCM, the Trustees/Directors were advised that PIMCO does not manage any funds or accounts which have an investment strategy or return profile bearing any reasonable similarity to those Funds.

The Trustees/Directors also took into account that PTY, PCN, PHK, PCQ, PCK, PZC, PMF, PML, PMX, PNF, PNI and PYN have Preferred Shares

38


outstanding, which increases the amount of management fees payable by those Funds under both the Current Agreements and the Proposed Agreement (because each of PTY’s, PCN’s, PHK’s, PCQ’s, PCK’s, PZC’s, PMF’s, PML’s, PMX’s, PNF’s, PNI’s and PYN’s fees are calculated, and under the Proposed Agreement would continue to be calculated, based on the Fund’s net assets, including any assets attributable to Preferred Shares outstanding). They also took into account that the use of other forms of leverage by PCI, PDI, PGP, PKO and PCM, such as through the use of reverse repurchase agreements, increases the amount of management fees payable by those Funds under both the Current Agreements and the Proposed Agreement (because each of PCI’s, PDI’s, PGP’s, PKO’s and PCM’s fees are calculated, and under the Proposed Agreement would continue to be calculated, based on total managed assets, including assets attributable to certain forms of leverage). They also noted that RCS uses forms of leverage other than preferred shares, but that the use of such leverage by RCS does not increase the management fees payable by RCS (because RCS’s fees are calculated, and under the Proposed Agreement would continue to be calculated, based on the Fund’s net assets, including any preferred shares outstanding (though, as the Directors noted, RCS does not have any preferred shares outstanding)). The Trustees/Directors took into account that, under both the Current Agreements and the Proposed Agreement, PIMCO has a financial incentive for the Funds to have Preferred Shares and/or other forms of leverage outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between PIMCO, on the one hand, and the Funds’ Common Shareholders, on the other. The Trustees/Directors further noted that this incentive will be greater under the Proposed Agreement in comparison to the Current Agreements (other than with respect to PDI and PCI) because the contractual management fee rates under the Proposed Agreement are higher for each Fund than under its Current Agreement (other than PDI and PCI), and the total fees paid to PIMCO under the Proposed Agreement will therefore vary more with increases and decreases in applicable leverage incurred by a Fund than under the Current Agreements. In this regard, the Trustees/Directors considered information provided by PIMCO and related presentations as to why each Fund’s use of leverage continues to be appropriate and in the best interests of the respective Fund under current market conditions. The Trustees/Directors also reviewed information provided by PIMCO relating to the estimated impact on each applicable Fund’s management fees and Operating Expenses of increasing such Fund’s leverage to the maximum practical level that could be attained without further Board approval, as calculated under both the Current Agreements (pursuant to which the Fund would pay management fees to PIMCO and separately pay Operating Expenses) and the Proposed Agreement (pursuant to which the Fund would pay the unified fee to PIMCO, which includes Operating Expenses), and noted the increase in each Fund’s net expenses under the Proposed Agreement under these circumstances were not substantial. The Trustees/Directors also considered

39


PIMCO’s representation that it will use leverage for the Funds solely as it determines to be in the best interests of the Funds from an investment perspective and without regard to the level of compensation PIMCO receives.

With respect to each Fund, the Trustees/Directors reviewed, among other information, comparative information showing the proposed unified fee rate of the Fund under the Proposed Agreement, calculated both on average net assets and on average managed assets, against its Lipper expense group and the Fund’s estimated total expense ratio (excluding interest expense) calculated on average net assets and average managed assets under the Proposed Agreement against its Lipper expense group. It was noted that the total expense ratio comparisons reflect the effect of expense waivers/reimbursements (although none were proposed for the Funds). The Trustees/Directors noted that only leveraged closed-end funds were considered for inclusion in the Lipper expense groups presented for comparison with the Funds.

The Trustees/Directors noted that, for each Fund other than RCS, the proposed unified fee rate for the Fund was above the median management fee of the other funds in its expense group provided by Lipper, considered both calculated on average net assets and on average managed assets. With respect to RCS, the Directors noted that the proposed unified fee rate for the Fund was below the median management fee of other funds in its expense group provided by Lipper calculated on average net assets (though the Directors noted that, unlike the funds offered for comparison, RCS does not pay fees on assets attributable to the types of leverage that the Fund currently employs) but above the median management fee of the other funds in its expense group provided by Lipper calculated on average managed assets. However, in this regard, the Trustees/Directors took into account that each Fund’s proposed unified management fee rate covers substantially all of the Fund’s Operating Expenses and therefore would tend to be higher than the management fee rates of other funds in the expense groups provided by Lipper, which generally do not have a unified fee structure and bear Operating Expenses separately in addition to the management fee. The Trustees/Directors determined that a review of each Fund’s total expense ratio with the total expense ratios of peer funds would generally provide more meaningful comparisons than considering contractual management fee rates in isolation.

The Trustees/Directors also reviewed, among other information, comparative information showing the total return performance of Common Shares of each Fund (based on net asset value) against its Lipper performance universe for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods (to the extent such Fund had been in existence) ended December 31, 2013. For PCI, the Trustees reviewed comparative information showing the performance of PCI’s Common Shares from the period from PCI’s inception (January 31, 2013)

40


through December 31, 2013. In addition, with respect to PDI and PCI, the Trustees also reviewed, among other information, supplemental comparative information showing the performance of PDI and PCI against peer funds selected by PIMCO for the one-year period, the period since April 30, 2013 and the period since the inception of the applicable Fund (to the extent the applicable Fund or peer fund was in existence) to February 28, 2014. Fund-specific performance results for the Funds reviewed by the Trustees/Directors are discussed below.

The following summarizes comparative performance and fee and expense information considered for each Fund. The comparative performance information was prepared and provided by Lipper and, in the case of the supplemental comparative information for PDI and PCI described above, by PIMCO, and was not independently verified by the Trustees/Directors. Due to the passage of time, these performance results may differ from the performance results for more recent periods.

The comparative expense information reviewed by the Trustees/Directors was based on information by PIMCO with respect to the Funds and information provided by Lipper with respect to the other funds in the expense groups. With respect to PCI and PDI, PIMCO also provided comparative expense information against peer funds selected by PIMCO. The total expense ratio information for each Fund discussed below was estimated by PIMCO assuming that the Proposed Agreement had been in effect for the 2013 calendar year, taking into account the effects of the Fund’s leverage outstanding for calendar year 2013. The fee and expense information was prepared and provided by Lipper or PIMCO (as noted) and was not independently verified by the Trustees/Directors.

PTY

With respect to the Fund’s Common Share total return performance (based on net asset value) relative to its respective Lipper performance universe, the Trustees noted that the Fund had first quintile performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2013.

The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Lipper consisted of a total of ten closed-end funds, including the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the average net assets of the common shares of the funds in the group ranged from $243.8 million to $1.956 billion, and that two of the funds in the group were larger in asset size than the Fund. With respect to the Fund’s estimated total expense ratio (excluding interest expense) calculated on average net assets, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s estimated total expense ratio was below the median total expense ratio of the group of funds presented for comparison.

41


PCN

With respect to the Fund’s Common Share total return performance (based on net asset value) relative to its respective Lipper performance universe, the Trustees noted that the Fund had second quintile performance for the one-year period, first quintile performance for the three-year and five year-periods and second quintile performance for the ten-year period ended December 31, 2013.

The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Lipper consisted of a total of ten closed-end funds, including the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the average net assets of the common shares of the funds in the group ranged from $243.8 million to $1.956 billion, and that three of the funds in the group were larger in asset size than the Fund. With respect to the Fund’s estimated total expense ratio (excluding interest expense) calculated on average net assets, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s estimated total expense ratio was above the median total expense ratio of the group of funds presented for comparison.

In addition to their review of Fund performance based on net asset value, the Trustees/Directors also considered the market value performance of each Fund’s Common Shares and related share price premium and/or discount information based on the materials provided by Lipper and PIMCO.

The Trustees/Directors also considered profitability analyses provided by PIMCO, which included the estimated profitability to AGIFM as investment manager to the Funds for the one-year period ended December 31, 2012 (such estimate having been prepared by AGIFM); estimated profitability to PIMCO as sub-adviser to the Funds for the one-year periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2013;pro forma estimated profitability to PIMCO for the one-year period ended December 31, 2013 assuming the Proposed Agreement had been in effect; andpro forma estimated profitability to PIMCO under the Proposed Agreement for the calendar years ending December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016. PIMCO provided profitability estimates under the Proposed Agreement reflecting a range of assumptions as to the allocation of internal expenses to its management of the Funds versus other types of products and services, and also estimated profitability both reflecting and not reflecting the amortization of the initial structuring fee payments and/or ongoing shareholder servicing and support payments PIMCO has made or will make to third parties with respect to the Funds. Based on the profitability analyses provided by PIMCO, the Trustees/Directors determined, taking into account the various assumptions made, that such profitability did not appear to be excessive.

The Trustees/Directors also took into account that, as closed-end Funds, the Funds do not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Funds will grow (if at all) principally through the investment performance of each Fund. Therefore, the Trustees/Directors did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable by each Fund under the Proposed Agreement, although they did take into account that the proposed unified fee rates reflect estimated reductions in Operating Expenses designed to allow the Funds to share up front in operational efficiencies PIMCO will attempt to realize as a result of the proposed transition.

49


Additionally, the Trustees/Directors considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to PIMCO, such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager to the Funds and research, statistical and quotation services PIMCO may receive from broker-dealers executing the Funds’ portfolio transactions on an agency basis.

After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees/Directors concluded, with respect to each Fund, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Proposed Agreement and based upon the information provided and related representations made by PIMCO, that they were satisfied with PIMCO’s responses and efforts relating to the investment management and performance of the Fund. They also concluded that they were satisfied with PIMCO’s information and responses as to its resources and capabilities to serve as investment manager and administrator of each Fund under the Proposed Agreement following the transition. The Trustees/Directors also concluded that the fees payable by each Fund under the Proposed Agreement represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided or procured by PIMCO under the Proposed Agreement. Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Trustees/Directors, including the Independent Trustees/Directors, unanimously concluded that the approval of the Proposed Agreement was in the interests of each Fund and its Shareholders, and determined to recommend the same for approval by Shareholders.

III. VOTING INFORMATION

Record Date, Quorum and Methods of Tabulation

Shareholders of recordInvestment Manager. Effective at the close of business on April 9,September 5, 2014, are entitledthe Manager, located at 650 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA, 92660, assumed responsibility as the investment manager to noticethe Funds pursuant to a new investment management agreement (the “Agreement”) between each Fund and the Manager (the “Transition”). Under the Agreement, the Manager provides the day-to-day portfolio management services it provided to each Fund as its sub-adviser and also assumed responsibility for the supervisory and administrative services previously provided by each Fund’s former investment manager, AGIFM. As part of the Transition, the Manager’s personnel replaced AGIFM personnel as officers of each Fund and in other roles to voteprovide and/or oversee the administrative, accounting/financial reporting, compliance, legal, marketing, transfer agency, shareholder servicing and other services required for the daily operations of the Funds. The Manager is a majority-owned indirect subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Audit Oversight Committee of each Fund’s Board and the full Board of each Fund unanimously selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2015 for the Funds. PwC served as the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund for the last fiscal year and also serves as the independent registered public

27


accounting firm of various other investment companies for which the Manager serves as investment adviser. PwC is located at 300 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017. None of the Funds knows of any direct financial or material indirect financial interest of PwC in the Funds. A representative of PwC, if requested by any Shareholder, will be present at the Special Meeting.Meeting via telephone to respond to appropriate questions from Shareholders and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she chooses to do so.

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures. Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee has adopted written policies relating to the pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. Under the policies, on an annual basis, a Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee reviews and pre-approves proposed audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm on behalf of the Fund.

In addition, each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee pre-approves annually any permitted non-audit services (including audit-related services) to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Manager and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Manager that provides ongoing services to the Fund (together, the “Service Affiliates”), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Although the Audit Oversight Committee does not pre-approve all services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to Service Affiliates (for instance, if the engagement does not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund), the Committee receives an annual report from the independent registered public accounting firm showing the aggregate fees paid by Service Affiliates for such services.

Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee may also from time to time pre-approve individual non-audit services to be provided to the Fund or a Service Affiliate that were not pre-approved as part of the annual process described above. A member of the Audit Oversight Committee to whom this responsibility has been delegated (a “Designated Member”) may also pre-approve these individual non-audit services, provided that the fee for such services does not exceed a pre-determined dollar threshold. Any such pre-approval by the Designated Member is reported to the full Audit Oversight Committee for ratification at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

The pre-approval policies provide for waivers of the requirement that the Audit Oversight Committee pre-approve permitted non-audit services provided to the Funds or their Accounting Affiliates pursuant to de minimis exceptions

28


described in Section 10A of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations (referred to herein as the “de minimis exception”).

The table below shows, for each Fund’s last two fiscal years, the Audit-Related Fees billed by PwC to that Fund. During those fiscal years, there were no Audit-Related Fees billed by PwC to the Funds’ Accounting Affiliates for audit-related services related directly to the operation and financial reporting of the Funds.

All Other Fees. All Other Fees are fees related to services other than those reported above under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.” For each Fund’s last two fiscal years, no such fees were billed by PwC to the Fund or the Fund’s Accounting Affiliates.

During the periods indicated in the tables above, no services described under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” or “All Other Fees” were approved pursuant to the de minimis exception.

Aggregate Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC, during each Fund’s last two fiscal years, for services rendered to each Fund and the Fund’s Accounting Affiliates are shown in the table below:

*The initial fiscal year for PDI, which ended on March 31, 2013, covered only ten months.

Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee has determined that the provision by PwC of non-audit services to the Fund’s Accounting Affiliates that were not pre-approved by the Committee was compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC as the Fund’s principal auditors.

Effective at the close of business on September 5, 2014, pursuant to its Investment Management Agreement with the Funds, PIMCO began bearing Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees with respect to the Funds under its new investment management agreement with the Funds. These fees were borne by the Funds for periods prior to September 5, 2014.

Each whole Share shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote and each fractional Share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Shares represented by timely, duly executed proxies will be voted as you instruct.If no specification is made, Shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Trustees/Directors.Proxies may be revoked at any time before they are exercised by timely delivering a signed, written letter of revocationnecessary to the Secretary of the applicable Fund, by properly executing and timely submitting a later-dated proxy vote, or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person and affirmatively requesting at the Special Meeting that a prior proxy be revoked.

Broker-dealer firms holding Shares 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. Under current interpretations of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) rules, broker-dealers that are members of the NYSE and that have not received instructions from a customer may not vote such customer’s Shares on the Proposal.

Rule 452 permits proportionate voting of Preferred Shares if, among other things, (i) holders of Common Shares approve the Proposal, (ii) a minimum of 30% of the Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such Preferred Shares, and (iii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such Preferred Shares against the Proposal.

The Committee’s purpose is also to prepare reports required by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)rules to be included in the Fund’s annual proxy statements, if any.

The Committee’s function is oversight. While the Committee has the responsibilities set forth in this Charter, it is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct audits, to prepare or determine that the Fund’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or to assure compliance with laws, regulations or any internal rules or policies of the Fund. Fund management is responsible for Fund accounting and the implementation and maintenance of the Fund’s internal control systems, and the independent auditors are responsible for conducting a proper audit of the Fund’s financial statements. Members of the Committee are not employees of the Funds and, in serving on this Committee, are not, and do not hold themselves out to be, acting as accountants or auditors. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures.

Each member of the Committee must be “financially literate” (or must become so within a reasonable time after his or her appointment to the Committee) and at least one member of the Committee must have “accounting or related financial management expertise,” in each case as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment under NYSE listing standards.

investment portfolio and, as such, it is not expected that the day-to-day portfolio management services will change. Rather, the Proposal, if approved, will require PIMCO to provide a broader range of investment management and supervisory and administrative services under the Proposed Agreement as compared to the portfolio management services required by the Portfolio Management Agreements, in replacement of AGIFM as the current investment manager.

Compensation. As compensation for PIMCO’s services rendered under each Portfolio Management Agreement, and for the expenses borne by PIMCO, AGIFM (and not the Funds) pays PIMCO a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rates set forth in the table below.

Persons who own more than 25% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of a Fund may be presumed to “control” the Fund, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. To the extent a Shareholder “controls” a Fund, it may not be possible for matters subject to a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund to be approved without the affirmative vote of such Shareholder, and it may be possible for such matters to be approved by such Shareholder without the affirmative vote of any other Shareholders.
