(0.30 )
(a) Net assets are inclusive of Preferred Shares of $161
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 investment income (loss) for federal income tax
purposes. By using GAAP, Net Investment Income for the fiscal
quarter and nine months ended April 30, 2013 was $2,982,746 ($0.05
per common share) and $6,445,393 ($0.11 per common share) lower,
respectively, and Net Realized and Change in Unrealized Gain
correspondingly higher than those figures would have been if swap
amounts were treated as net investment income. The Fund did not
engage in swap transactions during the fiscal quarter and nine
months ended April 30,2012.
(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 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 levels or that the undistributed
net investment income balance will be sufficient to cover any
shortfall in earnings to meet the current dividend rate. The
undistributed 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.
