INSTRUCTIONS

Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer

1. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee on this Letter of Transmittal is required (i) if this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder of the Shares tendered herewith, or (ii) if such Shares are tendered for the account of a firm which is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, credit union, savings association or other entity and which is a member in good standing of a stock transfer association’s approved medallion program (such as STAMP, SEMP or MSP) (each being hereinafter referred to as an “Eligible Institution”). In all other cases, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 6.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS INSTRUCTION, THE DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. THE STOCKHOLDER HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CAUSE THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS TO BE TIMELY DELIVERED.

No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted, except as may be permitted in the Fund’s Offer to Purchase. All stockholders of the Fund (“Stockholders”) who are tendering their Shares, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance for payment of Shares.

2. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Stock Powers and Endorsements.

(a) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond exactly with the name(s) on the face of the account registration.

(b) If any of the tendered Shares are held of record by two or more joint holders, ALL such holders must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

(c) If this Letter of Transmittal or any stock powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, agents, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Fund of their authority to so act.

3. Tender of More Than 5,778 Shares. If more than 5,778 Shares are duly tendered prior to the expiration of the Offer (and not properly withdrawn), the Fund will purchase Shares from tendering Stockholders, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the Offer to Purchase and herein, by first purchasing shares tendered by any stockholders who own, beneficially or of record, an aggregate amount of 10 shares or less (an “odd lot”) and tender all of their shares. The Fund will then purchase any remaining shares that have been duly tendered on a pro rata basis (disregarding fractions), in accordance with the number of Shares duly tendered by each Stockholder during the period the Offer is open (and not properly withdrawn), unless the Fund determines not to purchase any Shares.

4. Irregularities. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Shares will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any particular Shares (i) determined by it not to be in proper form or (ii) the acceptance of or payment for which may in the opinion of the Fund’s counsel, be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the

5

CORPORATE ACTIONS VOLUNTARY COY XWMF

conditions of the Offer, in whole or in part, or any defect or irregularity in tender of any particular Shares or Stockholder, and the Fund’s interpretations of the terms and conditions of the Offer (including these instructions) shall be final and binding. No tender of Shares will be deemed to be properly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. None of the Fund, the Depositary, the Information Agent (as defined below) or any other person shall be obligated to give notice of defects or irregularities in tenders, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities must be cured within such time as the Fund shall determine.

5. Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies. Requests for assistance should be directed to, and additional copies of the Fund’s Offer to Purchase and this Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from, the Information Agent at the address set forth at the end of this Letter of Transmittal. The Information Agent will also provide Stockholders, upon request, with a Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals) (W-8BEN), a Certificate of Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities) (W-8BEN-E) or a Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim That Income Is Effectively Connected With the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States (W-8ECI).

6. Backup Withholding. Each Stockholder that desires to participate in the Offer must, unless an exemption applies, provide the Depositary with the Stockholder’s taxpayer identification number on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)Form W-9 set forth in this Letter of Transmittal with the required certifications being made under penalties of perjury. If the Stockholder is an individual, the taxpayer identification number is his or her social security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct taxpayer identification number, the Stockholder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS in addition to being subject to backup withholding.

Stockholders are required to give the Depositary the taxpayer identification number of the record owner of the Shares by completing the IRS Form W-9 included with this Letter of Transmittal. If the Shares are registered in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions to the Form W-9 for guidance on which number to provide.

If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to withhold 24% of any payment made to the Stockholder with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding may result in an overpayment of taxes for which a refund may be obtained by the Stockholder from the IRS.

Certain Stockholders (including, among others, most corporations and certain foreign persons) are exempt from backup withholding requirements. To qualify as an exempt recipient on the basis of foreign status, a Stockholder must submit a properly completed IRS Form W-8 (generally, a Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI), signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that person’s exempt status. A Stockholder would use a Form W-8BEN (for individuals) or Form W-8BEN-E (for entities) to certify that (1) it is the beneficial owner (or is authorized to sign for the beneficial owner) of all the income to which the form relates, (2) the beneficial owner is not a U.S. person, (3) the income to which the form relates is (a) not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (b) effectively connected but is not subject to tax under an income tax treaty, or (c) the partner’s share of a partnership’s effectively connected income, and (4) for broker transactions or barter exchanges, the beneficial owner is an exempt foreign person; and would use a Form W-8ECI to certify that (1) it is the beneficial owner (or is authorized to sign for the beneficial owner) of all the income to which the form relates, (2) the amounts for which the certification is provided are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and are includible in its gross income (or the beneficial owner’s gross income) for the taxable year, and (3) the beneficial owner is not a U.S. person. A foreign Stockholder may also use a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E to certify that it is eligible for benefits under a tax treaty between the United States and such foreign person’s country of residence.

6

CORPORATE ACTIONS VOLUNTARY COY XWMF

A STOCKHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER TAX ADVISOR AS TO HIS OR HER QUALIFICATION FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE BACKUP WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS AND THE PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING AN EXEMPTION.

7. Withholding for Non-U.S. Stockholders. Even if a Non-U.S. Stockholder (as defined in Section 7 of the Fund’s Offer to Purchase) has provided the required certification to avoid backup withholding, the Depositary will withhold U.S. federal income taxes equal to 30% of the gross payments payable to a Non-U.S. Stockholder or his or her agent unless the Depositary determines that a reduced rate of withholding is available pursuant to a tax treaty or that an exemption from withholding is applicable because such gross proceeds are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to a tax treaty, a Non-U.S. Stockholder must deliver to the Depositary before the payment a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN (for individuals) or Form W-8BEN-E (for entities). In order to obtain an exemption from withholding on the grounds that the gross proceeds paid pursuant to the Offer are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the U.S., a Non-U.S. Stockholder must deliver to the Depositary a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI. The Depositary will determine a shareowner’s status as a Non-U.S. Stockholder and eligibility for a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding by reference to any outstanding certificates or statements concerning eligibility for a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding (e.g., IRS Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI) unless facts and circumstances indicate that such reliance is not warranted. A Non-U.S. Stockholder may be eligible to obtain a refund of all or a portion of any tax withheld if such shareowner satisfies certain requirements or is otherwise able to establish that no tax or a reduced amount of tax is due. Backup withholding generally will not apply to amounts subject to the 30% or a treaty-reduced rate of withholding. Non-U.S. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of federal income tax withholding, including eligibility for a withholding tax reduction or exemption, and the refund procedure.

In addition, a Non-U.S. Stockholder (other than an individual) may be subject to a 30% withholding tax under Chapter 4 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commonly referred to as “FATCA,” unless such Non-U.S. Stockholder establishes an exemption from such withholding tax under FATCA, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E. If the Depositary withholds any amounts under FATCA, such amounts will be credited against any withholding due for U.S. federal income tax.

8.Stock Transfer Taxes. Except as set forth in this Instruction 8, no stock transfer tax stamps or funds to cover such stamps need accompany this Letter of Transmittal, and the Fund will pay all stock transfer taxes, if any, with respect to the transfer and sale of Shares to it pursuant to the Offer. If, however, payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or (in the circumstances permitted by the Fund’s Offer to Purchase) if Shares not tendered or not purchased are to be registered in the name of any person other than the registered holder, or if tendered Shares are registered in the name of any person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or such other person) payable on account of the transfer to such person will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted.

Purpose of Form

An individual or entity(Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following.

●Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)

●Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds)

● Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds)

●Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)

●Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)

● Form 1098 (home mortgage interest),1098-E (student loan interest),1098-T (tuition)

●Form 1099-C (canceled debt)

●Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)

UseForm W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

If you do not returnForm W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding.See What is backup withholding, later.

By signing thefilled-out form, you:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income, and

4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct.See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information.

Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other thanForm W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to thisForm W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

● An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;

● A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States;

● An estate (other than a foreign estate); or

● A domestic trust (as defined in Regulationssection 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where aForm W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provideForm W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

In the cases below, the following person must giveForm W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.

● In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity;

● In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and

● In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not useForm W-9. Instead, use the appropriateForm W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

9

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018) Page 3

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach toForm W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completedForm W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup Withholding

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest,tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester ofForm W-9 for more information.

Also seeSpecial rules for partnerships, earlier.

What is FATCA Reporting?

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester ofForm W-9 for more information.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a newForm W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Note: You may wish to consult with the financial institution requesting this form to determine whether the FATCA code and/or exempt payee code should be completed.

Line 5

Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number). This is where the requester of thisForm W-9 will mail your information returns. If this address differs from the one the requester already has on file, write NEW at the top. If a new address is provided, there is still a chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your address in their records.

Line 6

Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note: SeeWhat Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get FormSS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online atwww.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling1-800-772-1213. UseForm W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, orForm SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website atwww.irs.gov/Businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Go towww.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or printForm W-7 and/orForm SS-4. Or, you can go towww.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and haveForm W-7 and/orSS-4 mailed to you within 10 business days.

If you are asked to complete FormW-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the

requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution:A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriateForm W-8.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

• Protect your SSN,

• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

• Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018) Page 8

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers.
