Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.
investment adviser to the City of London Funds and the Segregated Accounts, have voting and dispositive power with respect to all 2,197,786 Shares owned directly by the City of London Funds and the Segregated Accounts, representing approximately 30.7% of the 7.167 million Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2011, as reported by the Fund. As of the date hereof, BMI, EWF, FREE, GBL, GFM, IEM, and the Segregated Accounts owned directly 61,324, 171,617, 134,362, 226,118, 2,893, 214,570 and 1,386,902 Shares, respectively, representing approximately 0.86%, 2.39%, 1.87%, 3.15%, 0.04%, 2.99 %, and 19.35%, respectively, of the 7.167 million Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2011.
The resulting ownership in excess of 3% of the outstanding voting shares of the Fund by GBL, resulted from a tender instituted by the Fund which had the effect of reducing the total amount of the Fund's voting shares outstanding, and not as a result of a direct purchase or acquisition of Fund shares by GBL.
Such ownership in excess of 3% of the Fund's shares by GBL is therefore specifically exempted from Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
