Share (b) $ 1.43 $ 1.68 Net Realized and Change in Unrealized Gain
(b) $ 12,831,331 $ 262,828,820 Per Common Share (b) $ 0.19 $ 3.87
(a) Net assets are inclusive of Preferred Shares of $325
million.
(b) The information provided is in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), which requires the Fund to
treat amounts accrued by the Fund under swap agreements as net
realized and unrealized gain (loss). However, these amounts are
treated as net income (loss) for federal income tax purposes. By
using GAAP, Net Investment Income for the fiscal quarter and year
ended November 30, 2013 was $10,272,767 ($0.15 per common share)
and $28,330,474 ($0.41 per common share) lower, respectively, and
Net Realized and Change in Unrealized Gain correspondingly higher
than those figures would have been if swaps amounts were treated as
net investment income. By using GAAP, Net Investment Income for the
fiscal quarter and year ended November 30, 2012 was $2,572,685
($0.03 per common share) and $9,893,313 ($0.14 per common share)
lower, respectively, and Net Realized and Change in Unrealized Gain
correspondingly higher than those figures would have been if swaps
amounts were treated as net investment income.
(c) Since the Fund’s net earning rates fluctuate from month to
month, there will be periods when the Fund may over-earn or
under-earn its monthly dividend rate. This fluctuation will have
the effect of adding to or subtracting from the Fund's
undistributed (overdistributed) net investment income balance. Fund
management analyzes the current and projected net earning rates
prior to recommending dividend amounts to the Fund's Board of
Trustees for declaration. There can be no assurance that the
monthly dividend rate will remain at its current level or that the
undistributed net investment income balance, if any, will be
sufficient to cover any shortfall in earnings to meet the current
dividend rate. The undistributed (overdistributed) net investment
income balance is inclusive of swap income (or loss), paydown gains
and net gain (or loss) from foreign currency transactions in
accordance with federal income tax treatment of these items.
Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC ("AGIFM"), an
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of
America L.P., serves as the Fund's investment manager and is a
member of Munich-based Allianz Group. Pacific Investment Management
Company LLC, an AGIFM affiliate, serves as the Fund's
sub-adviser.
