Dear Shareholder:
Performance Summary
1/1/08 – 06/30/08
Fund & Benchmark | | Performance | |
Total Return (based on NAV)1 | | | -2.27 | % | |
Total Return (based on market value)1 | | | -1.52 | % | |
Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index2 | | | -1.06 | % | |
Market Review: A challenging period
The six-month period ended June 30, 2008, was a challenging one. Market volatility persisted due to growing concerns over the strength of financial institutions, sub-prime mortgages, tougher credit conditions, and a deteriorating macro-economic backdrop.
Liquidity remained limited as high yield spreads approached wides of 840 basis points versus Treasuries in March. At the time, an increasingly aggressive policy response from the Federal Reserve led to a significant improvement in valuations and market sentiment. Spreads responded by narrowing 207 bps to 633 bps by mid-June. Subsequently, inflationary pressures coupled with concerns about the overall macroeconomic environment caused spreads to widen again, ending the period at 719 bps. All told, spreads widened 132 basis points during the six months ending June 30, 2008.
During this period, the Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained benchmark posted returns of -1.06%. Lower rated securities lagged the broader market with CCC issuers returning -2.75%, while BB rated issuers outperformed with returns of -0.13%.
Default rates, reported by Moody's Investor Services at 1.98% in June, have been inching slightly higher. Merrill Lynch's distress ratio rose to 21.6% in June, indicating higher default rates in the coming year. Finally, the most recent Federal Loan Officers Survey reflected a significant tightening of lending standards as bank balance sheet pressures have filtered through to lending attitudes.
On the technical front, new issuance was subdued for most of this period with approximately $47 billion in deals priced. In comparison, nearly $114 billion in deals were priced during the same period in 2007. Additionally, significant progress was made on the backlog of leveraged buyout financing waiting to come to market as the banks sold at discounted prices to a variety of private equity and distressed opportunity funds. Finally, on a year-to-date basis, retail mutual fund's have posted $1.2 billion of inflows.
Strategic Review and Outlook: Expecting conditions to remain challenging
During the period, the Fund underperformed the index on both an NAV and market value basis. Exposures in the CCC-rated segment detracted from portfolio returns. At the sector level, holdings in broadcasters, printing and publishing, wireless and consumer-driven sectors, such as retail and gaming, hurt relative returns, while an underweight to finance and investments helped performance. Finally, superior security selection in consumer products also contributed to performance.
In addition to core holdings in the more defensive industries, we remain relatively constructive on several issuers in the industrial and commercial space — particularly those with international end markets. Conversely, we are cautious with respect to consumer-driven industries given high energy prices and continued weak housing data, so

we have sought to limit exposures to these sectors. On the ratings front, we have been adding to positions in higher quality credits and using periods of market strength to reduce exposures in riskier names.
As 2008 has progressed, the macroeconomic environment has become more challenging. Furthermore, the recapitalization of banks and brokers is underway but will take some time. Therefore, we expect the high yield market to remain volatile as liquidity remains limited and balance sheet repair advances. Going forward, our portfolio strategy will remain selective in nature — paring back riskier issuers where possible, adding to higher quality credits in the secondary market, and taking advantage of new issue opportunities.

High yield bonds are lower-quality bonds that are also known as "junk bonds." Such bonds entail greater risks than those found in higher-rated securities.
International investing entails special risk considerations, including currency fluctuations, lower liquidity, economic and political risks, and differences in accounting methods; these risks are generally heightened for emerging-market investments. The Fund may include a greater degree of risk than other funds that invest in larger, more-developed markets.
In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements, which may concern, among other things, domestic and foreign market, industry and economic trends and developments and government regulation and their potential impact on the Fund's investments. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual trends, developments and regulations in the future, and their impact on the Fund could be materially different from those projected, anticipated or implied. The Fund has no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

Credit Suisse may waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, without which performance would be lower. Waivers and/or reimbursements are subject to change and may be discontinued at any time. Returns represent past performance. Total investment return at net asset value is based on changes in the net asset value of fund shares and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any. Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the fund's shares traded on the stock exchange during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the fund's dividend reinvestment program. Because the fund's shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on share price and NAV. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. The fund's yield, return and market price and NAV will fluctuate. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 800-293-1232.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios are 0.72%.

1 As required, effective January 1, 2001 the Fund has adopted provisions of AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and has begun amortizing premium on debt securities. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001 was a decrease to net investment income per share by $0.004 and increase to net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $0.004 and a decrease to the net ratio of investment income to average net assets from 11.73% to 11.66%. Per share ratio and supplemental data for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change.
2 Per share information is calculated using the average shares outstanding method.
3 This amount represents less than $(0.01) per share.
4 Total investment return based on per share net asset value reflects the effects of change in net asset value on the performance of the Fund during each period, and assumes dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, were reinvested. These percentages are not an indication of the performance of a shareholder's investment in the Fund based on market value, due to differences between the market price of the stock and the net asset value of the Fund.
5 Annualized.
6 Due to the realignment of the Fund's portfolio in connection with the combination with Credit Suisse Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc., the cost of purchases of $30,040,944 and proceeds from sales of $37,801,151 have been excluded from the Portfolio Turnover calculations.
Note: Current Year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in the calculation of net investment income per share.

Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2008 (unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated on February 11, 1987 and is registered as a diversified, closed-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The investment objective of the Fund is to seek current income through investment primarily in debt securities.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
A) SECURITY VALUATION — The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equ ity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund's closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors under procedures established by the Board of Directors.
The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities which are not readily marketable, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law ("restricted securities") (excludes 144A securities that have been determined to be liquid under procedures established by the Board of Directors). These securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above.
The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. I nputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2008 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:
Valuation Inputs | | Investments in Securities | | Other Financial Instruments* | |
Level 1 — Quoted Prices | | $ | 24,509,937 | | | $ | (2,119 | ) | |
Level 2 — Other Significant Observable Inputs | | | 184,541,571 | | | | — | | |
Level 3 — Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | 197,865 | | | | — | | |
Total | | $ | 209,249,373 | | | $ | (2,119 | ) | |
* Other financial instruments include futures, forwards and swap contracts.
As of June 30, 2008, the amounts shown by the Fund as being Level 3 securities that were measured at fair value amounted to 0.11% of net assets.
B) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is accrued as earned. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective yield method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Discount or premium on mortgage backed securities is recorded upon receipt of principal payments on the underlying mortgage pools.
C) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
The Fund's dividend policy is to distribute substantially all of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. However, in order to provide shareholders with a more consistent yield to the current trading price of shares of beneficial interest of the Fund, the Fund may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid by the Fund for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such month.

D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
During June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation 48 ("FIN 48" or the "Interpretation"), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB statement 109. The Fund has reviewed its' current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E) USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS — The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian, or a money market fund advised by Credit Suisse. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.
G) DELAYED DELIVERY COMMITMENTS — The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.
H) FUTURES — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its investment policies and objectives. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash and/or pledge U.S. Government securities as initial margin. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying instrument, are made or received by the Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Fund's basis in the contract. Risks of entering into futures contracts for hedging purposes include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. In addition, the purchase of f utures contracts involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures transaction. At June 30, 2008, the Fund had no open futures contracts.
I) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Fund will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily forward exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement
22
Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2008 (unaudited)
purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date or an offsetting position is entered into. At June 30, 2008, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:
Forward Foreign Currency Contract | | Expiration Date | | Foreign Currency To Be Sold | | Contract Amount | | Contract Value | | Unrealized Gain/(Loss) | |
British Pound | | 7/11/2008 | | £ | (325,000 | ) | | $ | (637,936 | ) | | $ | (646,236 | ) | | $ | (8,300 | ) | |
European Economic Unit | | 7/11/2008 | | € | (276,000 | ) | | | (426,199 | ) | | | (434,603 | ) | | | (8,404 | ) | |
European Economic Unit | | 7/11/2008 | | € | (680,000 | ) | | | (1,083,240 | ) | | | (1,070,762 | ) | | | 12,478 | | |
European Economic Unit | | 7/11/2008 | | € | (1,685,000 | ) | | | (2,655,392 | ) | | | (2,653,285 | ) | | | 2,107 | | |
| | | | | | | | $ | (4,802,767 | ) | | $ | (4,804,886 | ) | | $ | (2,119 | ) | |
J) SECURITIES LENDING — Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain Credit Suisse-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $911,961, of which $399,679 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $375,894 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $136,388. The Fund may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.
K) OTHER — The Fund may invest in securities of foreign countries and governments which involve certain risks in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among others, currency risk (fluctuations in currency exchange rates), information risk (key information may be inaccurate or unavailable) and political risk (expropriation, nationalization or the imposition of capital or currency controls or punitive taxes). Other risks of investing in foreign securities include liquidity and valuation risks.
The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests with respect to its investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Fund accrues such taxes when the related income is earned or gains are realized.
Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.
In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and (to the extent a Fund invests in junk bonds) the Fund's net asset value.

L) CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS — The Fund may enter into credit default swap agreements either as a buyer or seller. The Fund may buy a credit default swap to attempt to mitigate the risk of default or credit quality deterioration in one or more individual holdings or in a segment of the fixed income securities market. The Fund may sell a credit default swap in an attempt to gain exposure to an underlying issuer's credit quality characteristics without investing directly in that issuer.
The Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a credit default swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the counterparty. The Fund will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness (generally, such counterparties would have to be eligible counterparties under the terms of the Fund's repurchase agreement guidelines). Credit default swap agreements are generally valued at a price at which the counterparty to such agreement would terminate the agreement. At June 30, 2008, the Fund had no outstanding credit default swap contracts.
Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties
Credit Suisse serves as investment adviser for the Fund. For its investment advisory services, Credit Suisse is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund at a rate per annum, computed weekly and paid quarterly as follows: 0.50% of the lower of the weekly stock price (market value) of the Fund's outstanding shares or its average weekly net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, investment advisory fees earned were $434,151.
SSB serves as accounting and administrative agent to the Fund. For its administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $43,411.
The Independent Directors receive fifty percent (50%) of their annual retainer in the form of shares. Beginning in 2008, the Independent Directors can elect to receive up to 100% of their annual retainer in shares of the Fund. Directors as a group own less than 1% of the Funds outstanding shares.
Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Merrill was paid $8,149 for its services to the Fund.
Note 4. Line of Credit
The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $50 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. Effective June 2008, Deutsche Bank, A.G. no longer serves as administrative agent and syndication agent to the credit facility. At June 30, 2008, and during the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Fund had no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Note 5. Purchases and Sales of Securities
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $38,694,256 and $35,367,152, respectively.
At June 30, 2008, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized depreciation from investments were $229,739,202, $1,522,497, $(22,012,326) and $(20,489,829), respectively.
Note 6. Fund Shares
The Fund has one class of shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share; one hundred million shares are authorized. Transactions in shares of common stock were as follows:
| | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 (unaudited) | | For the Year Ended December 31, 2007 | |
Shares issued through reinvestment of dividends | | | — | | | | 28,763 | | |
Note 7. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. 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; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("FAS 161"), an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging activities are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management of the Fund does not believe the adoption of FAS 161 will materially impact the financial statement amounts, but will require additional disclosures. This will include qualitative and quantitative disclosures on derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using der ivatives during the reporting period. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.
Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (unaudited)
Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund (the "Fund") offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan") to its common stockholders. The Plan offers common stockholders a prompt and simple way to reinvest net investment income dividends and capital gains and other periodic distributions in shares of the Fund's common stock. Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("Computershare") acts as Plan Agent for stockholders in administering the Plan.
Participation in the Plan is voluntary. In order to participate in the Plan, you must be a registered holder of at least one share of stock of the Fund. If you are a beneficial owner of the Fund having your shares registered in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you must first make arrangements with the organization in whose name your shares are registered to have the shares transferred into your own name. Registered shareholders can join the Plan via the Internet by going to www.computershare.com, authenticating your online account, agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of online "Account Access" and completing an online Plan Enrollment Form. Alternatively, you can complete the Plan Enrollment Form and return it to Computershare at the address below.
By participating in the Plan, your dividends and distributions will be promptly paid to you in additional shares of common stock of the Fund. The number of shares to be issued to you will be determined by dividing the total amount of the distribution payable to you by the greater of (i) the net asset value per share ("NAV") of the Fund's common stock on the payment date, or (ii) 95% of the market price per share of the Fund's common stock on the payment date. If the NAV of the Fund's common stock is greater than the market price (plus estimated brokerage commissions) on the payment date, then Computershare (or a broker-dealer selected by Computershare) shall endeavor to apply the amount of such distribution on your shares to purchase shares of Fund common stock in the open market.
You should be aware that all net investment income dividends and capital gain distributions are taxable to you as ordinary income and capital gain, respectively, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund's common stock.
The Plan also permits participants to purchase shares of the Fund through Computershare. You may invest $100 or more monthly, with a maximum of $100,000 in any annual period. Computershare will purchase shares for you on the open market on the 25th of each month or the next trading day if the 25th is not a trading day.
There is no service fee payable by Plan participants for dividend reinvestment. For voluntary cash payments, Plan participants must pay a service fee of $5.00 per transaction. Plan participants will also be charged a pro rata share of the brokerage commissions for all open market purchases ($0.03 per share as of October 2006). Participants will also be charged a service fee of $5.00 for each sale and brokerage commissions of $0.03 per share (as of October 2006).
You may terminate your participation in the Plan at any time by requesting a certificate or a sale of your shares held in the Plan. Your withdrawal will be effective immediately if your notice is received by Computershare prior to any dividend or distribution record date; otherwise, such termination will be effective only with respect to any subsequent dividend or distribution. Your dividend participation option will remain the same unless you withdraw all of your whole and fractional Plan shares, in which case your participation in the Plan will be terminated and you will receive subsequent dividends and capital gains distributions in cash instead of shares.
