2     Wells Fargo Advantage Income Opportunities Fund Letter to Shareholders

Karla M. Rabusch, President Wells Fargo Advantage Funds

Despite the heightened market volatility during the period, we believe that the advance in the financial markets since early 2009 underscores the importance of maintaining a disciplined focus on a long-term investment strategy.

Dear Valued Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with this semiannual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Income Opportunities Fund for the six-month period that ended October 31, 2010. The period could be described as a roller-coaster ride, both on the economic front and across the financial markets. While several key economic indicators gathered strength entering the period, many moderated throughout much of the period. In turn, the financial markets, which had built upon the impressive rally of late 2009 and early 2010, gave back some of those gains as volatility returned during the summer months. Despite the heightened market volatility during the period, we believe that the advance in the financial markets since early 2009 underscores the importance of maintaining a disciplined focus on a long-term investment strategy. Although periods of volatility can be challenging for investors, staying focused on a long-term strategy based on individual goals and risk tolerance can help avoid missing out on potential periods of strong recovery.

Economic growth turned positive after severe contraction.

Economic growth modestly improved throughout the period, as the economy continued to slowly recover from the deepest recession since the 1930s. As an example, gross domestic product (GDP), which contracted for four consecutive quarters between late 2008 and late 2009—something not seen in at least 60 years—remained positive throughout the past six months. After turning positive for the third quarter of 2009, GDP growth was 3.7% and 1.7% in the first and second quarters of 2010, respectively. Recently, the National Bureau of Economic Research declared that the recession that began in December 2007 ended in June 2009. In spite of these indicators that the economy is growing, many market participants and economists continue to question the sustainability of the current recovery.

The unemployment rate edged down but remained elevated.

Employment data turned positive early in the period, softened over the summer months, and improved at the end of the reporting period. More specifically, the unemployment rate, which peaked at 10.1% in October 2009, its highest level in more than 25 years, edged down to 9.6% in October 2010. After U.S. employers added 313,000 workers in April and 433,000 workers in May, the economy lost an average of 103,000 each month from June through August. While some of the decline in payroll employment over the summer was a result of the end of temporary government employees working on Census 2010, jobs increased by 64,000 and 159,000 in September and October, respectively.

Other economic data were mixed, further illustrating the roller-coaster trend during the period and raising some concerns about the potential sustainability of the recovery. Retail sales were strong in April 2010 but then declined through most of the summer before rising again in September and October on the strength of increased auto sales. Consumer confidence continued to weaken during the final months of the period as consumers remained concerned about income, job prospects, and the potential effects of the midterm elections on fiscal

and tax policy. New and existing home sales, perceived by many as the key to a sustainable, long-term recovery, also reported mixed results over the year. The rate of home sales, which modestly improved in the spring, weakened during the summer. However, the rate of new home sales remained unchanged from August to September.

The Federal Reserve continued to focus on economic stimulus.

Despite extensive quantitative easing measures by the Federal Reserve, bank lending remained constrained during the period, which indicates that the trillions of dollars of government stimulus added to the monetary system might not have an inflationary impact in the near term. Throughout the period, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held the federal funds rate between 0% and 0.25%—a level it first targeted in December 2008.

In recent months, the FOMC’s official statements have noted a continuation of the economic recovery and gradual improvement in the labor market. The FOMC has also cited increases in both household and business spending. However, it has also noted that unemployment remains high and credit continues to be tight, reiterating that it is likely to keep the federal funds rate at exceptionally low levels for an extended period because of the continued substantial economic slack.

Market returns were a roller coaster.

The riskier asset classes, notably equities and high-yield corporate bonds, saw a significant shift in sentiment during the period. The strong rally that began in 2009 continued through April 2010, but growing concerns about the strength of global economic growth resulted in a rapid correction between May and August. However, the U.S. equity and high-yield markets enjoyed a significant rebound in September and October.

During the period, the high-yield corporate market posted the best returns among all domestic fixed-income markets. After an impressive beginning to 2010, supported by improving investor sentiment, the lowest credit-quality tiers, CCC-rated¹ and lower, struggled along with equities during the correction over the summer months. However, the lower-quality segments of the non-investment-grade markets rallied during the last two months of the reporting period to lead every segment of the fixed-income market.

Since the beginning of the year, within the high-yield universe, BB-rated corporates have performed nearly as well as their lower-quality counterparts. Clearly, the trend has been that CCCs have underperformed during market corrections and outperformed during rallies. By comparison, over the past six months and year to date, high yield has outperformed both Treasuries and investment-grade corporates.

During the period, the high-yield corporate market posted the best returns among all domestic fixed-income markets.

For the full six-month period, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index² advanced 6.9%, the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Index³ returned 6.3%, and the broad investment-grade Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index⁴ returned 5.3%.

Our long-term strategy remains focused on attractive risk-to-reward opportunities.

As always, our long-term strategy is to focus on issues where we feel the risk-to-reward relationship is attractive. Our perspective is not to simply identify attractive risk-to-reward profiles for the short run but, ideally, through the maturity of the issue, regardless of if we hold the bond through its maturity date.

Within the Wells Fargo Advantage Income Opportunities Fund, positioning remains primarily focused on credits that are rated B and higher, with a focus on companies that generate free cash flow and have the ability to deleverage absent market liquidity conditions. The current environment has been very supportive of lower-quality issues, as liquidity has been abundant and refinancing debt has been easy. We believe that the risks of weaker credits are no longer being appropriately compensated and, with interest rates at extremely low levels, interest-rate sensitivity is not being fully compensated for the risk either. Therefore, the holdings have been gradually positioned away from interest-rate-sensitive issues and instead positioned higher in quality.

Don’t let short-term volatility derail long-term investment goals.

The period saw renewed volatility and a correction across the global financial markets. However, we believe that the significant rebound experienced over the past 18 months underscores the importance of maintaining a focus on long-term investment goals through periods of volatility so investors don’t miss potential periods of strong recovery.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) Wells Fargo Advantage Income Opportunities Fund   21

1. ORGANIZATION

Wells Fargo Advantage Income Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) (formerly Evergreen Income Advantage Fund) was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 3, 2002 and is registered as a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The primary investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income. The Fund may, as a secondary objective, also seek capital appreciation to the extent consistent with its investment objective.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has considered the circumstances under which the Fund should recognize or make disclosures regarding events or transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements are issued. Adjustments or additional disclosures, if any, have been included in these financial statements.

Securities valuation

Certain fixed income securities with maturities exceeding 60 days are valued based on available market quotations received from an independent pricing service approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees which may utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. If valuations are not available from the pricing service or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or determined based on the Fund’s Fair Value Procedures.

Investments in securities are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Securities which are traded on a national or foreign securities exchange are generally valued at the last reported sales price, except that securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), and if no NOCP is available, then at the last reported sales price. If no sales price is shown on the Nasdaq, the bid price will be used. In the absence of any sale of securities listed on the Nasdaq, and in the case of other securities, including U.S. Government obligations, but excluding debt securities maturing in 60 days or less, the price will be deemed “stale” and the valuations will be determined in accordance with the Fund’s Fair Valuation Procedures.

Debt securities of sufficient credit quality with original maturities of 60 days or less generally are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.

Investments in open-end mutual funds and non-registered investment companies are generally valued at net asset value.

Certain investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above, are valued at their fair value, as determined by procedures established in good faith and approved by the Board of Trustees.

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.

When-issued transactions

The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or ‘when-issued’ basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets to cover its obligation by confirming the availability of qualifying assets having a value sufficient to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Term loans

Each Fund may invest in term loans. The loans are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest when the loans are funded. The loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. The Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower and there could be potential loss to the Fund in the event of default by the borrower.

Credit default swaps

The Fund may be subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts for hedging or speculative purposes to provide or receive a measure of protection against default on a referenced entity, obligation or index or for investment gains. Credit default swaps involve an exchange of a stream of payments for protection against the loss in value of an underlying security or index. Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a guarantor (referred to as the seller of protection) and receives a periodic stream of payments, provided that there is no credit event, from another party (referred to as the buyer of protection) that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount over the term of the swap. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if a credit event is triggered, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. A credit event includes bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation default, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium, and restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps as either the seller of protection or the buyer of protection. As the seller of protection, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap and has assumed the risk of default of the underlying security or index. As the buyer of protection, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the seller of the protection defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as the seller of protection could be required to make under the credit default swap contract would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap contract. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

If the Fund is the seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will pay to the buyer of protection the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If the Fund is the buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will receive from the seller of protection the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

Any premiums paid or received on the transactions are recorded as an asset or liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized. The value of the swap contract is marked-to-market daily based on quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. In addition, payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized as realized gains or losses.

Certain credit default swap contracts entered into by the Fund provide for conditions that result in events of default or termination that enable the counterparty to the agreement to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty to terminate early may impact the amounts reported on the financial statements.

Security transactions and income recognition

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.

Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non accrual status.

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Dividend and interest income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.

Distributions to shareholders

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal and other taxes

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.

The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities.

At April 30, 2010, estimated net capital loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future net realized capital gains, were as follows:

Expiration
2014	2015	2016	2017	2018
$7,717,772	$11,808,863	$15,525,027	$130,598,584	$162,119,951

At April 30, 2010, the Fund had $10,956,348 of current year deferred post-October capital losses, which would be treated as realized for tax purposes on the first day of the succeeding year.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:

§	Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
§	Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
§	Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

As of October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets, which are carried at fair value, were as follows:

			Significant Other		Significant
	Quoted Prices		Observable Inputs		Unobservable Inputs
Investments in Securities	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Total

Dividends on each series of Preferred Shares were cumulative at a rate, which was reset based on the result of an auction. During the six months ended October 31, 2010, the Preferred Shares experienced failed auctions and the Fund paid dividends to the holders of Preferred Shares based on the maximum rate allowed under the governing documents for the Preferred Shares. The annualized dividend rate of 1.72% during the six months ended October 31, 2010, included the maximum rate for the dates on which auctions failed.

6. BORROWINGS

The Fund had secured debt financing in April 2008 from a multi-seller commercial paper conduit administered by a major financial institution (the “Facility”) in order to redeem a pro rata portion of each of its series of Preferred Shares. The Facility was refinanced on April 26, 2010 with a new borrowing facility, administered by a different major financial institution, with a commitment amount of $230 million and a 364 day term (“Refinancing Facility”). As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had redeemed all of its outstanding series of Preferred Shares and borrowed $230 million under the Refinancing Facility.

The Fund’s borrowings under the Refinancing Facility are generally charged interest at a rate based on the rates of the commercial paper notes issued to fund the Fund’s borrowings or at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.0%. During the six months ended October 31, 2010, an effective interest rate of 0.39% was incurred on the borrowings. Interest expense of $414,413, representing 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets applicable to common shareholders, was incurred during the six months ended October 31, 2010.

The Fund has pledged its assets to secure the borrowings and currently pays, on a monthly basis, a liquidity fee at an annual rate of 0.60% of the daily average outstanding principal amount of borrowings and program fee at an annual rate of 0.60% of the product of (i) the daily average outstanding principal amount of borrowings and (ii) 1.02.

The fair value, realized gains or losses and change in unrealized gains or losses on credit default swaps are reflected in the appropriate financial statements.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

10. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund declared the following distributions to common shareholders:

			Net Investment
Declaration Date	Record Date	Payable Date	Income

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:

At a telephonic meeting on May 11, 2010, the Trustees of the Fund, including each Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”), as such term is defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), approved an advisory agreement for the Fund with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”) as well as a sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“Wells Capital”). Because the 1940 Act requires trustee approval of definitive advisory agreements to occur at an in-person meeting, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered and approved each of these agreements again at their in-person meeting held on June 9-10, 2010 (together with the May 11, 2010 telephonic meeting, the “Meetings”).

In considering at the Meetings whether to approve the advisory agreement with Funds Management and the sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital, the Trustees took into account that they had most recently approved the annual continuation of the Fund’s prior investment advisory agreement with Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC (“EIMC”) and sub-advisory agreement with Tattersall Advisory Group, Inc. (“TAG”) in September 2009. That approval followed a lengthy process during which the Trustees considered a variety of factors, including, for example, the nature and quality of services that the Fund receives, the fees that the Fund pays under the agreements, and the Fund’s investment performance, as well as a wide range of other matters that the Trustees considered to have a bearing upon the agreements.

The Trustees also considered that the advisory agreement with Funds Management and the sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital were proposed in the context of the combination of the Evergreen and Wells Fargo mutual fund families. After the December 31, 2008 merger of the Wells Fargo and Wachovia organizations, representatives of the combined Wells Fargo asset management organization approached the Trustees of the Evergreen funds with a proposal to combine the Evergreen and Wells Fargo Advantage Fund families. Funds Management’s representatives cited a number of important considerations favoring an eventual combination of the fund families, including, among others, the integration of the Evergreen and Wells Fargo investment management organizations; possible economies of scale through the increased size of the combined fund family; contractual savings from service providers to the combined funds; the ability to select the best funds from each family to continue as part of the combined fund family; and more seamless integration of the Evergreen funds into the combined Wells Fargo investment and shareholder servicing platforms and programs.

Over the course of 2009 and early 2010, the Board of Trustees of the Evergreen funds met repeatedly with the management teams of Funds Management and EIMC and worked to refine the proposed combination of the fund families. For the closed-end Evergreen funds, the proposed combination involved the approval of new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements with Funds Management and affiliated (and un-affiliated) entities, name changes, and the election of new trustees.

Throughout their consideration of the proposed combination of the fund families, the Trustees requested additional information from representatives of EIMC and Funds Management as they considered appropriate. The Trustees retained an independent industry consultant to assist them in evaluating the combination of the fund families and related information. They also met separately on numerous occasions with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees.

The Trustees’ determinations to approve the advisory agreement with Funds Management and the sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital were based on a comprehensive evaluation of the information provided to them. During their review, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee attributed different weights to various factors. In their discussions, the Board made clear that, although the Fund’s new agreements were proposed as part of a combination of the fund families that may well benefit the shareholders of the Evergreen funds as a whole, the Board would consider carefully the impact of the proposed combination on each Evergreen fund and its shareholders individually, and would thus evaluate the proposed advisory agreement with Funds Management and sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital for the Fund independently.

The Trustees reviewed differences in the terms of the prior advisory agreement with EIMC and the proposed advisory agreement with Funds Management, and between the prior sub-advisory agreement with TAG and the proposed sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital. The Trustees considered whether any change to the nature and quality of the

comprehensive investment management services provided to the Fund would reasonably be expected as a result of adopting the proposed advisory agreement with Funds Management and sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital. In this regard, they noted that the same investment management personnel presently responsible for providing investment advisory services to the Fund would continue to do so under the new agreement, and that portfolio managers at Wells Capital would take over providing sub-advisory services for the Fund’s portfolio from TAG. The Trustees considered the research and other capabilities and resources available to the proposed portfolio managers, as well as the investment performance record of these portfolio managers in managing the Fund or, in the case of the proposed Wells Capital portfolio managers, portfolios similar to the Fund’s.

The Trustees observed that the proposed fee rate under the advisory agreement with Funds Management was identical to the fee rate under the prior advisory agreement with EIMC. They noted that there were certain changes proposed to the fee rate under the sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital as compared to the fee rate for TAG, which would have no impact on the aggregate fees paid by the Fund for advisory services. Funds Management asserted, and the Trustees took into account, that these changes were not expected to have any impact on the quality of services provided to the Funds or on the profitability of the advisory and sub-advisory arrangements to Funds Management and its affiliates (which includes Wells Capital). The Trustees reviewed information prepared by an independent data provider regarding the Fund’s management fee and other expenses relative to the fees and expenses of other peer funds. They noted that the Fund’s management fees were higher than many of the fees of its peer funds, but determined on the basis of the information presented that the Fund’s fees did not appear excessive. During the course of their consideration of fees, the Trustees noted that in certain cases, Funds Management and/or its affiliates provide to other clients (including principally other existing Evergreen funds) advisory services that are comparable in some degree to the advisory services that they would provide to the Fund, and considered comparative fee information, as well as information regarding similarities and differences in the services provided, in this regard. In light, in part, of the fact that there were material differences between the Fund’s investment program and the investment programs of these other clients, the Trustees did not consider the comparative fee information to be particularly useful in their consideration of the Fund’s proposed agreements.

The Trustees considered that, although the Fund was not making a continuous offering of its shares so that the likelihood of achieving economies of scale following the Fund’s initial offering was relatively low, the Fund may potentially benefit to the extent that contractual arrangements with service providers to the combined fund family could be negotiated on a more favorable basis as a result of the increased scale of the combined fund family. They also considered information provided to them regarding the profitability of the advisory fees paid under the prior advisory agreement to EIMC, and regarding the anticipated profitability of such fees to Funds Management under the proposed advisory agreement, and determined that the profitability of these arrangements was not so high as to prevent their approving the new agreements.

32   Wells Fargo Advantage Income Opportunities Fund Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan

AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

All common shareholders are eligible to participate in the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“the Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, unless a common shareholder is ineligible or elects otherwise, all cash dividends and capital gains distributions are automatically reinvested by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as agent for shareholders in administering the Plan (“Plan Agent”), in additional common shares of the Fund. Whenever the Fund declares an ordinary income dividend or a capital gain dividend (collectively referred to as “dividends”) payable either in shares or in cash, nonparticipating the Plan will receive cash, and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares of common shares. The shares are acquired by the Plan Agent for the participant’s account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“newly issued common shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open-market (open-market purchases) on the NYSE Amex or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any dividend or distribution, the net asset value per share of the common shares is equal to or less than the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (“market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the amount of such dividend or distribution in newly issued shares on behalf of the participant. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to the participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per share on the date the shares are issued, provided that the maximum discount from the then current market price per share on the date of issuance may not exceed 5%. If on the dividend payment date the net asset value per share is greater than the market value or market premium (“market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participant in open-market purchases. There will be no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of dividends or capital gains distributions payable either in shares or in cash. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at P.O. Box 43010, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3010 or by calling 1-800-730-6001.
