\nUnder the terms of its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund will seek to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid, in part or in full, from net investment income and realized capital gains, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if the 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. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund\u2019s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund\u2019s Managed Distribution Plan.<\/p>

\nThe Fund provides this estimate of the sources of its distribution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\nThe Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund\u2019s investment performance and should not be confused with \u2018yield\u2019 or \u2018income\u2019.<\/p>

\nInformation regarding the Fund\u2019s performance and distribution rates is set forth below. Please note that all performance figures are based on the Fund\u2019s net asset value (NAV) and not the market price of the Fund\u2019s shares. Performance figures are not meant to represent individual shareholder performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n(3) Annualized Current Distribution Rate is the current distribution rate annualized as a percentage of the Fund's NAV at month end.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n

\n(4) Fiscal YTD Cumulative Total Return on NAV is the percentage change in the Fund's NAV from the first day of the fiscal year to this month end, including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of those distributions.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n

\n(5) Fiscal YTD Cumulative Distribution Rate is the dollar value of distributions expected to be paid from the first day of the fiscal year through the next calendar quarter end as a percentage of the Fund's NAV at month end.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>

\nThe amounts and sources of distributions reported in this notice are estimates only and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the distributions for tax purposes will depend on the Fund\u2019s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund or your broker will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you what distributions to report for federal income tax purposes.<\/p>
