Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) | and (b). As of the date hereof, CLIG, through its control of CLIM, and CLIM, in its capacity as investment adviser to the City of London Funds and the Segregated Accounts, have voting and dispositive power with respect to all 5,580,124 Shares owned directly by the City of London Funds and the Segregated Accounts, representing approximately 36.9% of the 15.096 million Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2011, as reported by the Fund. As of the date hereof, BMI, EWF, FREE, GEM, GFM, IEM, PLUS and the Segregated Accounts owned directly 475,723; 476,185; 476,605; 476,623; 4,780; 452,793; 81,610 and 3,135,805 Shares, respectively, representing approximately 3.15%, 3.15%, 3.16%, 3.16%, 0.03%, 3.00%, 0.54% and 20.77%, respectively, of the 15.096 million Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2011. |
The resulting ownership in excess of 3% of the outstanding voting shares of the Fund by BMI, FREE, GEM, and IEM, respectively, resulted from a share buy-back program 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 BMI, FREE, GEM, and IEM.
Such ownership in excess of 3% of the Fund's shares by BMI, FREE, GEM, and IEM is therefore specifically exempted from Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
(c). | Information with respect to all transactions in the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons that were effected during the past 60 days is set forth below: |
Portfolio | Tran Type | Trade Date | Par Value / Shares | Trade Price |

(d). Other than disclosed herein, no other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such Shares.
(e). Not applicable.
