13,811,673 shares, or 67.9% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of common stock, were tendered and not withdrawn in response to the Offer. Because the number of shares tendered exceeded 30% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of common stock, the Fund will purchase tendered shares on apro rata basis.

The market value of each of these portfolio securities may increase or decrease before the actual receipt by shareholders of such portfolio securities. The Fund will pay cash in lieu of any fractional share of a portfolio security that is not distributed due to rounding. In addition, the Fund will pay cash in lieu of delivering fewer than 100 shares of a portfolio security to any participating shareholder. The Fund delivered the distributable assets on November 22, 2010 to brokers whose customers tendered shares in the Offer.
The Offer referred to in this announcement was made only by an Offer Notice, a related Letter of Transmittal and other documents which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to a tender offer statement on Schedule TO.
