This deposit will be held for the benefit of MTP shareholders. MTP shares will be redeemed on June 13, 2014. Official notification of the redemption will be delivered to MTP shareholders through The Depository Trust Company (DTC). Upon redemption of the MTP shares, the funds intend to deregister and delist the MTP shares from the New York Stock Exchange.

No VMTP shares have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Unless so registered, no VMTP shares may be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities.
