Under the terms of its managed distribution plan, the fund will
seek to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid
in part or in full from net investment income and realized capital
gains, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however,
that if the fund's aggregate net investment income and net realized
capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level,
the difference will be distributed from the fund's assets and will
constitute a return of the shareholder's capital. You should not
draw any conclusions about the fund's investment performance from
the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the fund's
managed distribution plan.
The fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income
and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be
a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example,
when some or all of the money that you invested in the fund is paid
back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily
reflect the fund's investment performance and should not be
confused with "yield" or "income."
The fund provided this estimate of the sources of the
distribution:

Fund Risks
An investment in a fund is subject to risk,
including the risk of possible loss of principal. A fund's shares
may be worth less upon their sale than what an investor paid for
them. The options overlay strategy may not be successful in
achieving its objective of increasing distributable income while
limiting the risk of loss, and in periods of significant moves in
the S&P 500® Index, has resulted in and, in the future, may
result in, losses for investors. Shares of closed-end funds may
trade at a discount to their net asset value. For more information
about each fund's investment objective and risks, please see the
fund's annual report. A copy of the fund's most recent annual
report may be obtained free of charge by contacting "Shareholder
Services" as set forth at the end of this press release.
