The actual composition and character of the distributions stated 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 and may be comprised of net investment income, capital gains and/or return of capital. 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 in an amount that exceeds its net investment income and net realized capital gains during its fiscal year. Additional information as applicable regarding the composition of the distributions will be made available at http://www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds after the payable date. 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, Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM”), NFJ Investment Group LLC, Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC, nor any of their trustees, members, officers or employees assumes responsibility for such statements.

This notice should not be used to prepare tax returns. In January 2012, Form 1099DIV (or substitute Form 1099DIV) will be sent to shareholders and will state the aggregate amount and tax characterizations of distributions for the 2011 calendar year.

It is anticipated that the Funds’ next quarterly dividend will be declared on or about March 9, 2012 and be payable on or about March 29, 2012.
