SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE OFFER
|
|
The Fund has issued one Right for each share of common stock of the Fund to shareholders of
record as of March 29, 2011. |
|
|
Three Rights entitle a shareholder to purchase one additional share of common stock at
a price of $7.00 per share (the subscription price). |
|
|
The over-subscription privilege permits all record date shareholders who have fully
exercised their primary subscription Rights to subscribe, subject to certain limitations and a
pro-rata allotment, for any additional shares of common stock not purchased pursuant to the
primary subscription. Rights acquired in the secondary market may not participate in the
over-subscription privilege. The Board of Directors has the right in its absolute discretion
to eliminate the over-subscription privilege with respect to the primary over-subscription
shares if it considers it to be in the best interest of the Fund to do so. The Board of
Directors may make that determination at any time, without prior notice to Rights holders or
others, up to and including the seventh day following the expiration date. |
Holders of Rights who wish to subscribe for additional shares of common stock should contact
the information agent, Georgeson, at (866) 257-5415 or their broker for instructions with respect
to exercising Rights to subscribe for additional shares of common stock. Holders of Rights who are
unable or do not wish to exercise any or all of their Rights may instruct their broker to sell any
unexercised Rights.
Any new shares issued as a result of the Offer will not be record date shares for the Funds
2011 annual shareholder meeting scheduled to be held on May 16, 2011, which has a record date of
March 21, 2011, and those shares will not be deemed outstanding for quorum purposes or be able to
be voted at that meeting.
