This spreadsheet and the accompanying instructions do not constitute, and should not be considered a substitute for, legal advice. Please refer to the instructions for columns that have an asterisk. The rules governing the proper
tax characterization of distributions by mutual funds can be complex. Each fund should consult its own tax advisor regarding the proper tax characterization and reporting of the fund's distributions. Please note that AMT
should be provided in Column 31 as a percentage of Column 30, not an amount.
