SECURITY AND ISSUER This statement constitutes Amendment #4 to the schedule 13d filed April 29, 2010. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Schedule 13d remains unmodified. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Shares of the Issuer have been accumulated on behalf of managed accounts. ITEM 4.PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. The incorrect number of outstanding shares was used to calculate the reporting persons' percentage ownership in Amendment #3 filed December 2, 2010 to their schedule 13d because they did not account for the November 2010 tender offer, which reduced the number of outstanding shares to 8,849,916. As indicated in Item 5 below, sales made by the filing persons after December 2, 2010 actually reduced their beneficial ownership to less than 5% of the outstanding shares on December 6, 2010 (rather than on December 2, 2010 as incorrectly indicated in Amendment #3). ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER As per the N-CSR filed on January 7, 2010 there were 11,212,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 31, 2009. However, per the tender offer Statement filed November 17, 2010, the number of outstanding shares was subsequently reduced to 8,849,916. The percentage set forth in this Item 5 was derived using such number. As of December 6, 2010, Bulldog Investors, Brooklyn Capital Management, and Andrew Dakos beneficially owned an aggregate of 399,256 shares of KEF or 4.51% of the outstanding shares. Power to dispose of and vote securities resides either with Mr. Dakos or with clients. c) Since the last filing on 12/2/10 the following shares of KEF were sold: DATE SHARES PRICE 12/02/10 18,800 11.9585 12/03/10 36,700 12.0379 12/06/10 25,100 12.0426 12/06/10 45,000 12.0400 d) Beneficiaries of managed accounts are entitled to receive any dividends or sales proceeds. e) NA ITEM 6. CONTRACTS,ARRANGEMENTS,UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. None. ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS None After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
