sources of the distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940
Act and the Rules adopted thereunder. The table has been computed
based on generally accepted accounting principles. The table
includes estimated amounts and percentages for this distribution
and for the cumulative distributions paid relating to fiscal year
to date (11/01/2017 – 04/30/2018),
from the following sources: net investment income; net realized
short-term capital gains; net realized long-term capital gains; and
return of capital.
