  1. May represent current period realized capital gains, which are subject to change based on the Fund's investment activity through its fiscal year end. Should the Fund's income or capital gains position change, the fiscal year-to-date amounts will be updated to reflect those changes.
  2. This amount may represent a return of the shareholders' principal, unrealized capital gains that may be recognized prior to the Fund's fiscal year-end, or some combination thereof. Should the Fund's capital gains position change, the fiscal year-to-date amounts will be updated to reflect those changes.

These Funds have adopted managed distribution policies that seek to deliver the Funds' long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share. Distributions may be paid in part or in full from net investment income, realized capital gains and by returning capital, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if a Fund's aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level, the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets and will constitute a return of the shareholder's capital. A return of capital is not taxable; rather it reduces a shareholder's tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund may terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's shares.
