Dear Stockholder:

The information in this letter amends the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Joint Proxy Statement and any other information about the Meeting previously delivered to you.

The election of Directors (Proposal No. 1) as described in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Joint Proxy Statement previously mailed to you has been amended as follows:

Ms. Dennis and Mr. Kearns and Messrs. Nugent and Reid have resigned, effective August 2, 2017, as Class I Directors of the Fund and as Class III Directors of the Fund, respectively, as the Fund does not expect that they will receive the required vote to be re-elected by stockholders of the Fund. In addition, Ms. Everett has resigned as a Class II Director of the Fund, effective August 2, 2017, in order to realign the class structure of the Fund, and has been appointed by the Board as a Class III Director of the Fund, effective August 3, 2017. Furthermore, as a result of Mr. Kearns’ resignation, Patricia Maleski has been appointed to the Audit Committee, effective August 3, 2017, and the Board of Directors has concluded that Jakki L. Haussler is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Accordingly, at the adjourned Meeting, Stockholders will be asked to consider the election of the nominees named below as Directors to hold office for a term stated below and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. It is the intention of the persons named in the proxy card previously mailed to you to vote, on behalf of the Stockholders, for the election of:

(i)   Patricia Maleski as a Class I Director for a term expiring in 2020.

Pursuant to the Fund’s By-Laws, the terms of office of the Directors are staggered. The Board of Directors of the Fund is divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, with each class having a term of three years. Each year the term of one class expires. The Board has decreased the size of Class I and Class III to one Director each and Class II to two Directors, effective August 3, 2017 after the Meeting concludes. The Directors of the Fund and their designated Class are shown below.
