(1) Senior floating-rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the senior floating-rate interests will have an expected average life of approximately two to three years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London - -Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the "Prime Rate") and the certificate of deposit ("CD") rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders.
(2) Unfunded loan commitments. See Note 1E for description.
(3) Defaulted security. Currently the issuer is in default with respect to interest payments.
(4) Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
(5) Defaulted Security. The issuer is in liquidation mode subject to litigation proceeds.
(6) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At November 30, 2006, the aggregate value of the securities is $8,992,941 or 0.3% of the Portfolio's net assets.
(7) Non-income producing security.
(8) Restricted security.
(9) Affiliated investment that holds high quality U.S. money market instruments, and that is available to Eaton Vance Portfolios and funds. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of November 30, 2006.

Senior Debt Portfolio as of November 30, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Senior Debt Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a closed-end investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on May 1, 1992. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At November 30, 2006, the Eaton Vance Prime Rate Reserves, Eaton Vance Advisers Senior Floating-Rate Fund, EV Classic Senior Floating-Rate Fund, Eaton Vance Medallion Senior Floating-Rate Fund, and Eaton Vance Institutional Senior Floating-Rate Fund (collectively, the Funds) held approximate 48.3%, 2.4%, 40.4%, 6.8% and 2.1% interests in the Portfolio, respectively.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuation — The Portfolio's valuation policies are as follows: Certain Senior Loans are deemed to be liquid because reliable market quotations are readily available for them. Liquid Senior Loans are valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the Portfolio's investment adviser, Boston Management and Research (BMR), under procedures approved by the Trustees. In connection with determining the fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser makes an assessment of the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the Senior Loan. The primary factors considered by the investment adviser when making this assessme nt are (i) the creditworthiness of the borrower, (ii) the value of the collateral backing the Senior Loan, and (iii) the priority of the Senior Loan versus other creditors of the borrower. If, based on its assessment, the investment adviser believes there is a reasonable likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the Senior Loan, the investment adviser will determine the fair value of the Senior Loan using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan relative to yields on other loan interests issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If, based on its assessment, the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the Senior Loan, the investment adviser will determine the fair value of the Senior Loan using analyses that include, but are not limited to (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower's outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow ana lysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower's assets is likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising such factors, data and information and the relative weight to be given thereto as it deems relevant, including without limitation, some or all of the following: (i) the fundamental characteristics of and fundamental analytical data relating to the Senior Loan, including the cost, size, current interest rate, maturity and base lending rate of the Senior Loan, the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan and any r elated agreements, and the position of the Senior Loan in the borrower's debt structure; (ii) the nature, adequacy and value of the collateral securing the Senior Loan, including the Portfolio's rights, remedies and interests with respect to the collateral; (iii) the creditworthiness of the borrower, based on an evaluation of, among other things, its financial condition, financial statements and information about the borrower's business, cash flows, capital structure and future prospects; (iv) information relating to the market for the Senior Loan, including price quotations for and trading in the Senior Loan and interests in similar Senior Loans and the market environment and investor attitudes towards the Senior Loan and interests in similar Senior Loans; (v) the experience, reputation, stability and financial condition of the agent and any intermediate participants in the Senior Loan; and (vi) general economic and market conditions affecting the fair value of the Senior Loan. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of a Portfolio based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by Eaton Vance that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of Senior Debt Portfolio. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by Eaton Vance that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of Senior Debt Portfolio. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment adviser's Valuation Committee and by the Portfolio's Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.
Debt obligations (other than short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less), including listed securities and securities for which price quotations are available and forward contracts, will normally be valued on the basis of market valuations furnished by dealers or pricing services. Financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges and exchange-traded options thereon are valued at closing settlement prices. Over-the-counter options are valued at
30
Senior Debt Portfolio as of November 30, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
the mean between the bid and asked prices provided by dealers. Marketable securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. The value of interest rate swaps will be based upon a dealer quotation. Short-term obligations and money market securities maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates value. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days, they will be valued by a pricing service. Investments for which reliable market quotations are unavailable, and investments for which the price of the security is not believed to represent its fair market value, are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Portfolio. Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign securities may occur between the time trading is completed abroad and the cl ose of the Exchange which will not be reflected in the computation of the Portfolio's net asset value (unless the Portfolio deems that such event would materially affect its net asset value in which case an adjustment would be made and reflected in such computation). The Portfolio may rely on an independent fair valuation service in making any such adjustments to the value of a foreign equity security.
The Cash Management Portfolio's valuation policy is as follows: The Portfolio values investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique permitted by Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio's security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discounts or premiums.
B Income — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately.
C Federal Taxes — The Portfolio has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on any taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its share of taxable income. Since at least one of the Portfolio's investors is a regulated investment company that invests all or substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements (under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate, at least annually a mong its investors, each investor's distributive share of the Portfolio's net investment income, net realized capital gains, and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
D Interest Rate Swaps — The Portfolio may enter into interest rate swap agreements for risk management purposes and not as a speculative investment. Pursuant to these agreements the Portfolio receives quarterly payments at a rate equal to a predetermined three-month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR). In exchange, the Portfolio makes semi-annual payments at a predetermined fixed rate of interest. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Portfolio is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performa nce by the swap counterparty. The Portfolio does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of interest rates.
E Unfunded Loan Commitments — The Portfolio may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Portfolio is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower's discretion. These commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments.
F Credit Default Swaps — The Portfolio may enter into credit default swap contracts for risk management purposes, including diversification. When the Portfolio is a buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Portfolio is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty to the contract in the event of a default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the debt obligation. In return, the Portfolio would pay the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Portfolio would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefit from the contract. When the Portfolio is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay upon default of the referenced debt obligations. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The Portfolio will segregate assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents in an amount equal to the aggregate market value of the credit default swap of which it is the seller, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.
G Foreign Currency Translation — Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into
31
Senior Debt Portfolio as of November 30, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
H Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The Portfolio will enter into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purpose s as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed.
I Indemnifications — Under the Portfolio's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Interestholders in the Portfolio are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities and obligations of the Portfolio in the event that the Portfolio fails to satisfy such liabilities and obligations; provided, however, that, to the extent assets are available in the Portfolio, the Portfolio may, under certain circumstances, indemnify interestholders from and against any claim or liability to which such holder may become subject by reason of being or having been an interestholder in t he Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
J Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
K Expense Reduction — Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian to the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with IBT. All credit balances, used to reduce the Portfolio's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
L Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
2 Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment advisory fee is paid to BMR as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. The fee is computed at a monthly rate of 19/240 of 1% (0.95% annually) of the Portfolio's average daily gross assets. The Trustees of the Portfolio have accepted a contractual waiver of a portion of BMR's compensation so that the aggregate advisory fees paid by the Portfolio under the advisory agreement during any fiscal year will not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.50% of average daily gross assets of the Portfolio up to and including $1 billion and at reduced rates as daily gross assets exceed that level. The advisory fee paid by the Portfolio is reduced by the Portfolio's allocable portion of the advisory fees paid by Cash Management Portfolio (CMP), an affiliated inves tment company managed by BMR. For the year ended November 30, 2006, the Portfolio's allocated portion of the advisory fee paid by CMP totaled $11,100. The advisory fee paid directly by the Portfolio amounted to $13,019,584. For the year ended November 30, 2006, the effective annual rate of investment advisory fees paid on a direct and an indirect basis by the Portfolio, based on average daily gross assets, was 0.45%. Except as to Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of BMR's organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of such investment adviser fee.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of BMR. Trustees of the Portfolio that are not affiliated with the Investment Adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended November 30, 2006, no significant amounts have been deferred.
3 Investments
The Portfolio invests primarily in Senior Loans. The ability of the issuers of the Senior Loans to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry. The cost of purchases and the proceeds from
32
Senior Debt Portfolio as of November 30, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
principal repayments and sales of Senior Loans for the year ended November 30, 2006 aggregated $1,485,809,416, $597,416,509 and $1,260,832,305, respectively.
4 Short-Term Debt and Credit Agreements
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios managed by BMR in a $500 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks to permit the Portfolio to invest in accordance with its investment practices. Interest is charged under the credit agreement at the bank's base rate or at an amount above LIBOR. Interest expense includes a commitment fee of $128,163 for the year ended November 30, 2006, which is computed at the annual rate of 0.08% of the credit agreement. The average daily loan balance for the year ended November 30, 2006, was $1,000,000 and the average interest rate was 5.74%.
5 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities and to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, financial futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligati ons under these financial instruments at November 30, 2006 is as follows:

8 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign stock markets, while growin g in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
9 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, ("FIN 48") "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized
34
Senior Debt Portfolio as of November 30, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, ("FAS 157") "Fair Value Measurements". FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Portfolio's financial statement disclosures.

Senior Debt Portfolio as of November 30, 2006
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors
of Senior Debt Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Senior Debt Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), including the portfolio of investments as of November 30, 2006, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the supplementary data for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from January 1, 2002 to November 30, 2002, and the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and Senior Loans held as of November 30, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and selling or agent banks; where replies were not received from selling or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Senior Debt Portfolio as of November 30, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and its supplemental data for the respective stated periods, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

During the Funds’ fiscal years ended November 30, 2005 and November 30, 2006, $35,000 was billed for each such fiscal year by D&T, the principal accountant for the Series, for work done in connection with its Rule 17Ad-13 examination of Eaton Vance Management’s assertion that it has maintained an effective internal control structure over the sub-transfer agent and registrar functions, such services being pre-approved in accordance with Rule 2-01(c) (7) (ii) of Regulation S-X.
(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the registrant’s principal accountant (the “Pre-Approval Policies”). The Pre-Approval Policies establish a framework intended to assist the audit committee in the proper discharge of its pre-approval responsibilities. As a general matter, the Pre-Approval Policies (i) specify certain types of audit, audit-related, tax, and other services determined to be pre-approved by the audit committee; and (ii) delineate specific procedures governing the mechanics of the pre-approval process, including the approval and monitoring of audit and non-audit service fees. Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval Policies, it must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must be reviewed and ratified by the registrant’s audit committee at least annually. The registrant’s audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the registrant’s principal accountant.
(e)(2) No services described in paragraphs (b)-(d) above were approved by the registrant’s audit committee pursuant to the “de minimis exception” set forth in Rule 2-01 (c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.

Fiscal Years Ended | | 11/30/2005 | | 11/30/2006 | |

Registrant | | $ | 8,085 | | $ | 14,370 | |
| | | | | |
Eaton Vance(1) | | $ | 184,983 | | $ | 66,100 | |
(1) Certain subsidiaries of Eaton Vance Corp. provide ongoing services to the registrant.
(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrant’s principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies
The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a proxy voting policy and procedure (the “Fund Policy”), pursuant to which the Trustees have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Fund’s investment adviser and adopted the investment adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Policies”) which are described below. The Trustees will review the Fund’s proxy voting records from time to time and will annually consider approving the Policies for the upcoming year. In the event that a conflict of interest arises between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund, the investment adviser will generally refrain from voting the proxies related to the companies giving rise to such conflict until it consults with the Board’s Special Committee except as contemplated under the Fund Policy. The Board’s Special Committee will instruct the investment adviser on the appropriate course of action.
The Policies are designed to promote accountability of a company’s management to its shareholders and to align the interests of management with those shareholders. An independent proxy voting service (“Agent”), currently Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc., has been retained to assist in the voting of proxies through the provision of vote analysis, implementation and recordkeeping and disclosure services. The investment adviser will generally vote proxies through the Agent. The Agent is required to vote all proxies and/or refer then back to the investment adviser pursuant to the Policies. It is generally the policy of the investment adviser to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Agent. The Agent shall refer to the investment adviser proxies relating to mergers and restructurings, and the disposition of assets, termination, liquidation and mergers contained in mutual fund proxies. The investment adviser will normally vote against anti-takeover measures and other proposals designed to limit the ability of shareholders to act on possible transactions, except in the case of closed-end management investment companies. The investment adviser generally supports management on social and environmental proposals. The investment adviser may abstain from voting from time to time where it determines that the costs associated with voting a proxy outweighs the benefits derived from exercising the right to vote or the economic effect on shareholders interests or the value of the portfolio holding is indeterminable or insignificant.
In addition, the investment adviser will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of interest between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund by maintaining a list of significant existing and prospective corporate clients. The investment adviser’s personnel responsible for reviewing and voting proxies on behalf of the Fund will report any proxy received or expected to be received from a company included on that list to the personal of the investment adviser identified in the Policies. If such personnel expects to instruct the Agent to vote such proxies in a manner inconsistent with the guidelines of the Policies or the recommendation of the Agent, the personnel will consult with members of senior management of the investment adviser to determine if a material conflict of interests exists. If it is determined that a material conflict does exist, the investment adviser will seek instruction on how to vote from the Special Committee.
Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122, and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
