(1) Fund passed through foreign withholding taxes

(2) The fund has adopted a level distribution plan (the "Plan") and employs a managed distribution and/or an option over-write policy to support a level distribution of income,

capital gains and/or return of capital. The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees.

Under its Plan, each Fund will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its investment objectives and as required by the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, the Funds will distribute long long-term capital gains and/or return

capital to their shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution.

(3) The Fund has distributed more than its income and net-realized capital gains in the current fiscal year; therefore, a portion of the distribution is return of capital.

The Fund sends shareholders a 1099-DIV that indicates how distributions should be reported for federal income tax purposes.

(4) All distributions were liquidating distributions
