a Please see table below for each Fund’s estimated source of
distributions. b Quarterly paying distribution.
Under the terms of each Fund’s managed distribution policy, the
Fund seeks to maintain a consistent distribution level derived from
the income and capital gains generated from the Fund’s investment
portfolio. Shareholders should note that if the Fund’s aggregate
net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than
the amount of the distributions paid, the difference will be
distributed from the Fund's net assets and may constitute a return
of the shareholder’s capital. The Board of Directors may modify,
terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time.
Any such modification, termination or suspension could have an
adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares.
Each Fund’s distributions have been set based on the current
level of income generated from the Fund’s investment portfolio and
accumulated capital gains, if any. Based on the Funds’ tax
accounting records, which also factor in currency fluctuations,
each Fund’s estimated source of cumulative fiscal year-to-date
distributions is presented in the table below:

Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV, if applicable,
specifying how the distributions paid by each Fund during the prior
calendar year should be characterized for purposes of reporting the
distributions on a shareholder’s tax return (e.g., ordinary income,
long-term capital gain or return of capital).
