For the year ended December 31, 2006, Seligman Data Corp., owned by the Fund and certain associated investment companies, charged the Fund at cost $583,365 for shareholder account services in accordance with a methodology approved by the Fund’s directors. Class I shares receive more limited shareholder services than the Fund’s other classes of shares (the “Retail Classes”). Seligman Data Corp. does not allocate to Class I the costs of any of its departments that do not provide services to the Class I shareholders. Costs of Seligman Data Corp. directly attributable to the Retail Classes of the Fund were charged to those classes in proportion to their respective net asset values. Costs directly attributable to Class I shares were charged to Class I. The remaining charges were allocated to the Retail Classes and Class I by Seligman Data Corp. pursuant to a formula based on their net assets, shareholder transaction volumes and number of shareholder accounts. The Fund and certain other associated investment companies (together, the “Guarantors”) have severally but not jointly guaranteed the performance and observance of all the terms and conditions of two leases entered into by Seligman Data Corp., including the payment of rent by Seligman Data Corp. (the “Guaranties”). The leases and the related Guaranties expire in September 2008 and January 2009. The obligation of the Fund to pay any amount due under the Guaranties is limited to a specified percentage of the full amount, which generally is based on the Fund’s percentage of the expenses billed by Seligman Data Corp. to all Guarantors in the preceding calendar quarter. As of December 31, 2006, the Fund’s potential obligation under the Guaranties is $44,100. As of December 31, 2006, no event has occurred which would result in the Fund becoming liable to make any payment under the Guaranties. A portion of the rent paid by Seligman Data Corp. is charged to the Fund as part of Seligman Data Corp.’s shareholder account services cost. At December 31, 2006, the Fund’s investment in Seligman Data Corp. is recorded at a cost of $3,719. Certain officers and directors of the Fund are officers or directors of the Manager, the Distributor, Seligman Services, Inc., and/or Seligman Data Corp. The Fund has a compensation arrangement under which directors who receive fees may elect to defer receiving such fees. Directors may elect to have their deferred fees accrue interest or earn a return based on the performance of the Fund or other funds in the Seligman Group of Investment companies. Deferred fees and related accrued earnings are not deductible by the Fund for federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid. The accumulated balance at December 31, 2005 of $20,493 was paid to the participating director in January 2006. As of December 31, 2006, no directors were participating in the deferred compensation arrangement. |
