1 – Please see table below for each Fund’s estimated source of distributions.

Under the terms of each Fund’s managed distribution policy, the Fund seeks to maintain a consistent distribution level derived from the income and capital gains generated from the Fund’s investment portfolio. Shareholders should note that if the Fund’s aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distributions paid, the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets and may constitute a return of the shareholder’s capital. The Board of Directors may modify, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time. Any such modification, termination or suspension could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares.

The Fund’s distributions have been set based on the current level of income generated from the Fund’s investment portfolio and accumulated capital gains, if any. Based on the Fund's tax accounting records, which also factors in currency fluctuations, each Fund’s estimated source of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions is presented in the table below:

Fund   Fiscal Year End   Income   Short-Term Capital Gains   Long-Term Capital Gains   Return of Capital     SCD   Nov 30   19.66%   -   -   80.34%   c BWG   Oct 31   100.00%   -   -   -   d ESD   Dec 31   88.77%   -   -   11.23%   d EMD   May 31   83.74%   -   -   16.26%   c SBW   Dec 31   85.77%   -   -   14.23%   d RIT   Dec 31   74.16%   -   -   25.84%   e

dSources of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions are estimated through February 29, 2016.

eSources of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions are estimated through March 31, 2016.

The updated estimated components of the distributions announced today will be provided to shareholders of record in a separate notice when the distributions are paid.

This press release is not for tax reporting purposes but is being provided to announce the amount of each Fund’s distributions that have been declared by the Board of Directors. In early 2016 and early 2017, after definitive information is available, each Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV, if applicable, specifying how the distributions paid by each Fund during the prior calendar year should be characterized for purposes of reporting the distributions on a shareholder’s tax return (e.g., ordinary income, long-term capital gain or return of capital).

For more information about the Funds, please call 1-888-777-0102 or consult the Fund’s web site at www.lmcef.com. Hard copies of the Funds’ complete audited financial statements are available free of charge upon request.
