A stockholder proposal to terminate the current Investment
Advisory and Management Agreement between the Fund and JF
International Management Inc. or, in the alternative, have the
Board submit a plan to liquidate or open-end the Fund within
one year was not properly presented, so it was not considered
at the Meeting.
The Fund is a diversified closed-end investment company, which
