The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized 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 amounts and sources of distributions reported in this notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund�s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund expects to issue a press release with the final figures by January 9, 2009. The Fund or your financial intermediary will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. * Please note that the Fund�s Distribution Plan includes a quarterly distribution equal to 2.5% of its Net Asset Value as of a pre-determined measurement date. The distribution rate shown above differs from the 2.5% stated amount (10% annualized) as a result of the calculation using the annualized current distribution rate and cumulative fiscal year distribution rate divided by the Net Asset Value as of the last business day of the most recent calendar month end.
