(a) Net assets are inclusive of Mandatory Redeemable Preferred
Shares of $30 million.
(b) Since the Fund's net earning rates fluctuate from month to
month, there will be periods when the Fund may over-earn or
under-earn its monthly dividend rate.
This fluctuation will have the effect of adding to or subtracting
from the Fund's undistributed ordinary income balance. Fund
management
analyzes the current and projected net earning rates prior to
recommending dividend amounts to the Fund's Board of Trustees for
declaration. There can be no
assurance that the monthly dividend rate will remain at its current
level or that the undistributed ordinary income balance, if any,
will be sufficient
to cover any shortfall in earnings to meet the current dividend
rate. The undistributed ordinary income balance is exclusive of
market premium
amortization on corporate bonds in accordance with federal income
tax treatment. The undistributed ordinary income balance includes
realized gain (loss) on the sale of contingent debt and Section 305
sales adjustments for accrual of deemed dividends from investments
in convertible debt,
in accordance with federal income tax treatment.
(c) Net Investment Income for the fiscal quarter and year ended
January 31, 2019 includes market premium amortization on corporate
bonds of $92,863
($0.01 per common share) and $389,947 ($0.04 per common share),
respectively. Net Investment Income for the fiscal quarter and year
ended January 31, 2018
includes market premium amortization on corporate bonds of $105,741
($0.01 per common share) and $443,727 ($0.04 per common share),
respectively. For tax
purposes, the Fund has elected not to amortize market premium on
corporate bonds.
(d) Calculated on average common shares outstanding.
Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P., serves
as the Fund's investment manager and is a member of Munich-based
Allianz Group.
