The actual composition and character of the distributions
described above and future distributions of the Funds may be
materially different from the composition or character of such
distributions that existed at the time of this press release. Such
factors include the varied nature of each Fund’s investments and
the performance of those investments, and that the ultimate
characterization of each Fund’s distributions cannot finally be
determined until the end of each Fund’s fiscal year, resulting in
the possibility of a return of capital if any Fund makes total
distributions during a calendar or fiscal year in an amount that
exceeds its net investment income and net realized capital gains
for the fiscal year. As a result of the foregoing and other
factors, no assurance can be given as to the actual composition or
character of each Fund’s distributions at the time of this press
release and neither the Funds, AGIFM, NFJ International Group LLC,
Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management LLC, Oppenheimer Capital LLC
nor any of their trustees, members, officers or employees assumes
responsibility for such statements.
Statements made in this release that look forward in time
involve risks and uncertainties and are forward looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation,
the adverse effect from a decline in the securities markets or a
decline in the Funds’ performance, a general downturn in the
economy, competition from other companies, changes in government
policy or regulation, inability to attract or retain key employees,
inability to implement its operating strategy and/or acquisition
strategy, and unforeseen costs and other effects related to legal
proceedings or investigations of governmental and self-regulatory
organizations. There can be no assurance that the Funds will meet
its stated objective.
