Item 29. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund
Not applicable.
Item 30. Indemnification
The Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify such persons for such expenses and liabilities, in such manner, under such circumstances, and to the full extent as permitted by Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Statutes, as now enacted or hereafter amended; provided, however, that no such indemnification may be made if it would be in violation of Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as now enacted or hereafter amended, and any rules, regulations, or releases promulgated thereunder. Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Statutes, as now enacted, provides that a corporation shall indemnify a person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if, with respect to the acts or omissions of the person complained of in the proceeding, the person has not been indemnified by another organization for the same judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same acts or omissions; acted in good faith, received no improper personal benefit, and the Minnesota Statutes dealing with directors’ conflicts of interest, if applicable, have been satisfied; in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful; and reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the corporation or, in certain circumstances, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. The Registrant undertakes that no indemnification or advance will be made unless it is consistent with Sections 17(h) or 17(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as now enacted or hereafter amended, and Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations, and releases (including, without limitation, Investment Company Act of 1940 Release No. 11330, September 2, 1980). Insofar as the indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
