Dermira, Inc.
The net asset value (NAV) of a closed-end fund is the market
value of the underlying investments (i.e., stocks and bonds) in the
Fund's portfolio, minus liabilities, divided by the total number of
Fund shares outstanding. However, the Fund also has a market price;
the value at which it trades on an exchange. If the market price is
above the NAV the Fund is trading at a premium. If the market price
is below the NAV the Fund is trading at a discount.
Performance returns for the Fund are total returns, which
includes dividends, and are net of management fees and other Fund
expenses. Returns are calculated assuming that a shareholder
reinvested all distributions. Past performance cannot predict
future investment results.
Performance will fluctuate with changes in market conditions.
Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance
data shown. Performance information shown does not reflect the
deduction of taxes that shareholders would pay on Fund
distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shareholders must be
willing to tolerate significant fluctuations in the value of their
investment. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss
of principal.
Sources of distributions to shareholders may include ordinary
dividends, long-term capital gains and return of capital. The
final determination of the source of all distributions in 2020 for
tax reporting purposes will be made after year end. The
actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting
purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during
its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax
regulations. Based on current estimates no portion of the
distributions consist of a return of capital. These estimates may
not match the final tax characterization (for the full year's
distributions) contained in shareholder 1099-DIV forms after the
end of the year.
All data is as of February 29,
2020 unless otherwise noted.
