SECTION 4. LOSS -NOTICE -PROOF- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured named in the Declarations and the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone 41206 (9/84) 8 other than the Insured unless the Insured, in its sole discretion and at its option, shall include such loss in the Insured’s proof of loss. At the earliest practicable moment after discovery of any loss hereunder the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice thereof and shall also within six months after such discovery furnish to the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars. If claim is made under this bond for loss of securities or shares, the Underwriter shall not be liable unless each of such securities or shares is identified in such proof of loss by a certificate or bond number or, where such securities or shares are uncertificated, by such identification means as agreed to by the Underwriter. The Underwriter shall have thirty days after notice and proof of loss within which to investigate the claim, but where the loss is clear and undisputed, settlement shall be made within forty-eight hours; and this shall apply notwithstanding the loss is made up wholly or in part of securities of which duplicates may be obtained. Legal proceedings for recovery of any loss hereunder shall not be brought prior to the expiration of sixty days after such proof of loss is filed with the Underwriter nor after the expiration of twenty-four months from the discovery of such loss, except that any action or proceeding to recover hereunder on account of any judgment against the Insured in any suit mentioned in General Agreement C or to recover attorneys’ fees paid in any such suit, shall be begun within twenty-four months from the date upon which the judgment in such suit shall become final.

SECTION 5. VALUATION OF PROPERTY The value of any Property, except books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business, for the loss of which a claim shall be made


LOGO

If no market price is quoted for such Property or for such privileges, the value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties or by arbitration. In case of any loss or damage to Property consisting of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business, the Underwriter shall be liable under this bond only if such books or records are actually reproduced and then for not more than the cost of blank books, blank pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the actual transcription or copying of data which shall have been furnished by the Insured in order to reproduce such books and other records. SECTION 6. VALUATION OF PREMISES AND FURNISHINGS In case of damage to any office of the Insured, or loss of or damage to the furnishings, fixtures, stationery, supplies, equipment, safes or vaults therein, the Underwriter shall not be liable for more than the actual cash value thereof, or for more than the actual cost of their replacement or repair. The Underwriter may, at its election, pay such actual cash value or make such replacement or repair. If the Underwriter and the Insured cannot agree upon such cash value or such cost of replacement or repair, such shall be determined by arbitration. SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES If the Insured shall sustain a loss of securities the total value of which is in excess of the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond, the liability of the Underwriter shall be limited to payment for, or duplication of, securities having value equal to the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond. If the Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured 41206 (9/84) 9 for any loss of securities, the Insured shall thereupon assign to the Underwriter all of the Insured’s rights, title and interests in and to said securities. With respect to securities the value of which do not exceed the Deductible Amount (at the time of the discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter may at its sole discretion and option and at the request of the Insured issue a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect replacement thereof, the Insured will pay the usual premium charged therefor and will indemnify the Underwriter against all loss or expense that the Underwriter may sustain because of the issuance of such Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds. With respect to securities the value of which exceeds the Deductible Amount (at the time of discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter may issue or arrange for the issuance of a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect replacement thereof, the Insured agrees that it will pay as premium therefor a proportion of the usual premium charged therefor, said proportion being equal to the percentage that the Deductible Amount bears to the value of the securities upon discovery of the loss, and that it will indemnify the issuer of said Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds against all loss and expense that is not recoverable from the Underwriter under the terms and conditions of this INVESTMENT COMPANY BLANKET BOND subject to the Limit of Liability hereunder. SECTION 8. SALVAGE In case of recovery, whether made by the Insured or by the Underwriter, on account of any loss in excess of the Limit of Liability hereunder plus the Deductible Amount applicable to such loss from any source other than suretyship, insurance, reinsurance, security or indemnity taken by or for the benefit of the Underwriter, the net amount of such recovery, less the actual costs and expenses of making same, shall be applied to reimburse the Insured in full for the excess portion of such loss, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid first in reimbursement of the Underwriter and thereafter in reimbursement of the Insured for that part of such loss within the Deductible Amount. The Insured shall execute all necessary papers to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein. SECTION 9. NON-REDUCTION AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY At all times prior to termination hereof this bond


LOGO

shall continue in force for the limit stated in the applicable sections of Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond notwithstanding any previous loss for which the Underwriter may have paid or be liable to pay hereunder; PROVIDED, however, that regardless of the number of years this bond shall continue in force and the number of premiums which shall be payable or paid, the liability of the Underwriter under this bond with respect to all loss resulting from (a) any one act of burglary, robbery or holdup, or attempt thereat, in which no Partner or Employee is concerned or implicated shall be deemed to be one loss, or (b) any one unintentional or negligent act on the part of any one person resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of Property, shall be deemed to be one loss, or (c) all wrongful acts, other than those specified in (a) above, of any one person shall be deemed to be one loss, or (d) all wrongful acts, other than those specified in (a) above, of one or more persons (which dishonest act(s) or act(s) of Larceny or Embezzlement include, but are not limited to, the failure of an Employee to report such acts of others) whose dishonest act or acts intentionally or unintentionally, knowingly or unknowingly, directly or indirectly, aid or aids in any way, or permits the continuation of, the dishonest act or acts of any other person or persons shall be deemed to be one loss with the act or acts of the persons aided, or (e) any one casualty or event other than those specified in (a), (b), (c) or (d) preceding, shall be deemed to be one loss, and shall be limited to the applicable Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond irrespective of the total amount of such loss or losses and shall not be cumulative in amounts from year to year or from period to period. Sub-section (c) is not applicable to any situation to which the language of sub-section (d) applies. SECTION 10. LIMIT OF LIABILITY With respect to any loss set forth in the PROVIDED 41206 (9/84) 10 clause of Section 9 of this bond which is recoverable or recovered in whole or in part under any other bonds or policies issued by the Underwriter to the Insured or to any predecessor in interest of the Insured and terminated or cancelled or allowed to expire and in which the period for discovery has not expired at the time any such loss thereunder is discovered, the total liability of the Underwriter under this bond and under other bonds or policies shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount carried hereunder on such loss or the amount available to the Insured under such other bonds or policies, as limited by the terms and conditions thereof, for any such loss if the latter amount be the larger. SECTION 11. OTHER INSURANCE If the Insured shall hold, as indemnity against any loss covered hereunder, any valid and enforceable insurance or suretyship, the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for such amount of such loss which is in excess of the amount of such other insurance or suretyship, not exceeding, however, the Limit of Liability of this bond applicable to such loss. SECTION 12. DEDUCTIBLE The Underwriter shall not be liable under any of the Insuring Agreements of this bond on account of loss as specified, respectively, in sub-sections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 9, NON-REDUCTION AND NON- ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY, unless the amount of such loss, after deducting the net amount of all reimbursement and/or recovery obtained or made by the Insured, other than from any bond or policy of insurance issued by an insurance company and covering such loss, or by the Underwriter on account thereof prior to payment by the Underwriter of such loss, shall exceed the Deductible Amount set forth in Item 3 of the Declarations hereof (herein called Deductible Amount) and then for such excess only, but in no event for more than the applicable Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of the Declarations. The Insured will bear, in addition to the Deductible Amount, premiums on Lost Instrument Bonds as set forth in Section 7. There shall be no deductible applicable to any loss under Insuring Agreement A sustained by any Investment Company named as Insured herein.

The Underwriter shall refund the unearned premium computed at short rates in accordance with the standard short rate cancellation tables if terminated by the Insured or pro rata if terminated for any other reason. This Bond shall terminate (a) as to any Employee as soon as any partner, officer or supervisory Employee of the Insured, who is not in collusion with such Employee, shall learn of any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement on the part of such Employee without prejudice to the loss of any Property then in transit in the custody of such Employee (See Section 16[d]), or (b) as to any Employee 60 days after receipt by each Insured and by the Securities and Exchange Commission of a written notice from the Underwriter of its desire to terminate this bond as to such Employee, or (c) as to any person, who is a partner, officer or 41206 (9/84) 11 employee of any Electronic Data Processor covered under this bond, from and after the time that the Insured or any partner or officer thereof not in collusion with such person shall have knowledge or information that such person has committed any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement in the service of the Insured or otherwise, whether such act be committed before or after the time this bond is effective. SECTION 14. RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION At any time prior to the termination or cancellation of this bond as an entirety, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, the Insured may give to the Underwriter notice that it desires under this bond an additional period of 12 months within which to discover loss sustained by the Insured prior to the effective date of such termination or cancellation and shall pay an additional premium therefor. Upon receipt of such notice from the Insured, the Underwriter shall give its written consent thereto; provided, however, that such additional period of time shall terminate immediately; (a) on the effective date of any other insurance obtained by the Insured, its successor in business or any other party, replacing in whole or in part the insurance afforded by this bond, whether or not such other insurance provides coverage for loss sustained prior to its effective date, or (b) upon takeover of the Insured’s business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed for this purpose without the necessity of the Underwriter giving notice of such termination. In the event that such additional period of time is terminated, as provided above, the Underwriter shall refund any unearned premium. The right to purchase such additional period for the discovery of loss may not be exercised by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed to take over the Insured’s business for the operation or for the liquidation thereof or for any other purpose. SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES


LOGO

Securities included in the systems for the central handling of securities established and maintained by Depository Trust Company, Midwest Depository Trust Company, Pacific Securities Depository Trust Company, and Philadelphia Depository Trust Company, hereinafter called Corporations, to the extent of the Insured’s interest therein as effective by the making of appropriate entries on the books and records of such Corporations shall be deemed to be Property. The words “Employee” and “Employees” shall be deemed to include the officers, partners, clerks and other employees of the New York Stock Exchange, Boston Stock Exchange, Midwest Stock Exchange, Pacific Stock Ex- change and Philadelphia Stock Exchange, hereinafter called Exchanges, and of the above named Corporations, and of any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the systems for the central handling of securities established and maintained by such Corporations, and any employee of any recognized service company, while such officers, partners, clerks and other employees and employees of service companies perform services for such Corporations in the operation of such systems.

The Underwriter shall not be liable on account of any loss(es) in connection with the central handling of securities within the systems established and maintained by such Corporations, unless such loss(es) shall be in excess of the amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy of insurance indemnifying such Corporations, against such loss(es), and then the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the Insured’s share of such excess loss(es), but in no event for more than the Limit of Liability applicable hereunder. For the purpose of determining the Insured’s share of excess loss(es) it shall be deemed that the Insured has an interest in any certificate representing any security included within such systems equivalent to the interest the Insured then has in all certificates representing the same security included within such systems and that such Corporations shall use their best judgement in apportioning the amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy of insurance indemnifying such Corporations against such loss(es) in connection with the central handling of securities within such systems among all those having an interest as recorded by appropriate entries in the 41206 (9/84) 12 books and records of such Corporations in Property involved in such loss(es) on the basis that each such interest shall share in the amount (s) so recoverable or recovered in the ratio that the value of each such interest bears to the total value of all such interests and that the Insured’s share of such excess loss(es) shall be the amount of the Insured’s interest in such Property in excess of the amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured by such Corporations. This bond does not afford coverage in favor of such Corporations or Exchanges or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the systems for the central handling of securities established and maintained by such Corporations, and upon payment to the Insured by the Underwriter on account of any loss(es) within the systems, an assignment of such of the Insured’s rights and causes of action as it may have against such Corporations or Exchanges shall to the extent of such payment, be given by the Insured to the Underwriter, and the Insured shall execute all papers necessary to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein. SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED If more than one corporation, co-partnership or person or any combination of them be included as the Insured herein: (a) the total liability of the Underwriter hereunder for loss or losses sustained by any one or more or all of them shall not exceed the limit for which the Underwriter would be liable hereunder if all such loss were sustained by any one of them, (b) the one first named herein shall be deemed authorized to make, adjust and receive and enforce payment of all claims hereunder and shall be deemed to be the agent of the others for such purposes and for the giving or receiving of any notice required or permitted to be given by the terms hereof, provided that the Underwriter shall furnish each named Investment Company with a copy of the bond and with any amendment thereto, together with a copy of each formal filing of the settlement of each such claim prior to the execution of such settlement, (c) the Underwriter shall not be responsible for the proper application of any payment made


LOGO

hereunder to said first named Insured, (d) knowledge possessed or discovery made by any partner, officer or supervisory Employee of any Insured shall for the purposes of Section 4 and Section 13 of this bond constitute knowledge or discovery by all the Insured, and (e) if the first named Insured ceases for any reason to be covered under this bond, then the Insured next named shall thereafter be considered as the first named Insured for the purposes of this bond. SECTION 17. NOTICE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL Upon the Insured’s obtaining knowledge of a transfer of its outstanding voting securities which results in a change in control (as set forth in Section 2(a) (9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Insured, the Insured shall within thirty (30) days of such knowledge give written notice to the Underwriter setting forth: (a) the names of the transferors and transferees (or the names of the beneficial owners if the voting securities are requested in another name), and (b) the total number of voting securities owned by the transferors and the transferees (or the beneficial owners), both immediately before and after the transfer, and (c) the total number of outstanding voting securities.

Failure to give the required notice shall result in termination of coverage of this bond, effective upon the date of stock transfer for any loss in which any transferee is concerned or implicated. Such notice is not required to be given in the case of an Insured which is an Investment Company. SECTION 18. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION This bond or any instrument amending or effecting same may not be changed or modified orally. No changes in or modification thereof shall be effective unless made by written endorsement issued to form a part hereof over the 41206 (9/84) 13 signature of the Underwriter’s Authorized Representative. When a bond covers only one Investment Company no change or modification which would adversely affect the rights of the Investment Company shall be effective prior to 60 days after written notification has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. by the Insured or by the

Underwriter.

   EXCESS INSURANCE POLICY 

Words defined in the Followed Policy have the same meaning in this Policy even if not defined herein. In consideration of the payment of the premium and in reliance upon the applications submitted to the Insurer or any insurer of the Underlying Insurance, and any other material submitted in connection with such applications (all of which are deemed attached hereto and made a part hereof) the Insurer and the Insureds agree as follows:

 

I.   

FOLLOW FORM EXCESS COVERAGE

 

  

The Insurer shall provide coverage in accordance with all of the terms, conditions and limitations (including, but not limited to the exclusions and notice requirements) of the policy scheduled in Item 4.A. of the Declarations (hereafter “Followed Policy”) except as otherwise set forth herein. Coverage hereunder shall attach only after all of the aggregate Limits of Liability, as set forth in Item 4. of the Declarations have been exhausted through payment of covered loss under all policies scheduled in Item 4. of the Declarations (hereafter “Underlying Insurance”) by or on behalf of the insurers of such Underlying Insurance, or by or on behalf of the Insureds. The risk of uncollectibility of any Underlying Insurance (in whole or in part), whether because of financial impairment or insolvency of an underlying insurer or for any other reason, is expressly retained by the Insureds and is not insured by or assumed by the Insurer.

 

II.   

LIMIT OF LIABILITY

 

  

The amount set forth in Item 3. of the Declarations shall be the maximum aggregate Limit of Liability of the Insurer for all loss under this Policy, regardless of the number of claims made against the Insureds or the time of payment and regardless of whether or not an extended reporting period applies. If the Limit of Liability under this Policy is exhausted by payment of loss, the Insurer’s obligations under this Policy shall be deemed completely fulfilled and extinguished.

 

III.   

CHANGES TO UNDERLYING INSURANCE/DEPLETION OF SUB-LIMITS

 

  

If, subsequent to the inception date of this Policy, there is a change to any Underlying Insurance which expands coverage, then this Policy shall become subject to such change only if the Insurer agrees thereto by written endorsement to this Policy. If any loss under any Underlying Insurance is subject to a sub-limit, then this Policy provides no coverage excess of such Underlying Insurance sub-limit, but the Underlying Insurance shall be deemed depleted by payment of any such sub-limit.

 

IV.   

INSURER RIGHTS/COOPERATION CLAUSE

 

  

The Insurer has the same rights and protections as has the insurer of the Followed Policy and has the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to elect to participate in the investigation, settlement, prosecution or defense of any claim reasonably likely to attach to and be covered under this Policy or any Underlying Insurance, even if the Underlying Insurance has not been exhausted. The Insureds shall cooperate with the Insurer in such investigation, settlement, prosecution or defense and shall do nothing that prejudices the Insurer’s position or rights of recovery.

 

V.   

NOTICES

 

   Where notice is permitted or required by the Followed Policy, the Insureds have the same rights and obligations to notify the Insurer under this Policy, except that such notice shall be given to the Insurer at the applicable address specified in Item 6. of the Declarations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Insurer has caused this Policy to be executed by its Chairman and Secretary, but this Policy shall not be binding upon us unless completed by the attachment of the Declarations:

TRADE AND ECONOMIC SANCTIONS ENDORSEMENT

In consideration of the premium charged, it is understood and agreed, a new condition is added to the Policy as follows:

This Policy does not provide coverage for Insureds, transactions or that part of loss that is uninsurable under the laws or regulations of the United States concerning trade or economic sanctions.

All other terms and conditions of the Policy remain unchanged.

 

This endorsement, which forms a part of and is for attachment to the Policy issued by the designated Insurers, takes effect on the effective date of said Policy at the hour stated in said Policy, unless another effective date is shown below, and expires concurrently with said Policy.

Re: Important Information about Claims Information Line

Dear PIMCO Funds

Travelers Bond & Specialty Insurance is pleased to announce its 1-800-842-8496 Claims Information Line. This line is designed to provide insureds with an additional resource on how to report claims or those circumstances or events which may become claims.

Policyholders will be able to obtain assistance on the following topics from the Claims Information Line:

 

   

The information that needs to be included with the claim notice

   

The address, electronic mail address and/or facsimile number to which the policyholder can send claims related information

   

Get questions on the claim process answered

The Declarations Page of your policy sets forth where you should report claims and claims related information. You should also review the policy’s reporting requirements to be aware of how much time you have to report a claim to Travelers. The sooner Travelers is notified, the sooner we can become involved in the process and offer assistance to our policyholder. A delay in reporting may result in all or part of a matter to fall outside of the coverage provided.

The Claims Information Line should streamline the claim reporting process and allow policyholders to ask questions on what information is needed as well as other questions which will assist them in working with Travelers. While the Claims Information Line provides policyholders a valuable resource by answering questions and providing information, the line does not replace the reporting requirements contained in the Policy.

We hope this improvement to customer service is something our policyholders will find helps them understand the claim process and provides them a resource for reporting.

Excess Bond Coverage

      
  

INSURING AGREEMENT

 

 

IN CONSIDERATION of the payment of an agreed premium, and in reliance upon completeness and accuracy of the statements and disclosures made to the Company and any issuer of Underlying Insurance by application, including all attachments, subject to the Declarations, Insuring Agreements, Terms, Conditions And Limitations, and Endorsements of this Excess Bond Coverage, this Excess Bond Coverage is subject to the same Insuring Agreements, Terms, Conditions And Limitations, and Endorsements as provided by the Bond or Policy identified in ITEM 6 of the Declarations of this Excess Bond Coverage. In no event shall this Excess Bond Coverage provide broader coverage than would be provided by the most restrictive Underlying Insurance.

This Excess Bond Coverage is not subject to the same premium or the Limit of Insurance of the Bond or Policy identified in ITEM 6 of the Declarations.

TERMS, CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS

 

SECTION 1. UNDERLYING COVERAGE

 

  A.

The Insured(s) shall notify the Company in writing, as soon as practicable, of a failure to maintain in full force and effect, without alteration, the coverage and provisions of the Bond(s) or Policy(ies) identified in ITEM 5 A. and B. of the Declarations.

 

  B.

In the event there is no recovery available to the Insured as a result of the insolvency of any Underlying Insurer or the Insured’s failure to comply with the maintenance of any Underlying Insurance, the coverage hereunder shall apply as excess of the amount of all Underlying Insurance plus the amount of any applicable deductible to the same extent as if the Underlying Insurance were maintained in full force and effect.

 

  C.

If the coverage and provisions of the Bond or Policy identified in ITEM 6 of the Declarations are altered, the Insured shall, as soon as practicable, give the Company written notice of such alteration(s); and upon receipt of written consent to such alteration(s) from the Company, the Insured shall pay any additional premium required by the Company. This Excess Bond Coverage shall not follow the form of any alteration(s) to the Bond or Policy identified in ITEM 6 of the Declarations unless such written notice thereof is given by the Insured(s) to the Company, the Company gives written consent to such alteration(s) and the Insured(s) pay(s) any additional premium required by the Company.

 

  D.

Except as provided in Section 2. Limit Of Insurance, D. and E. below, in no event shall the Company be liable to pay loss under this Excess Bond Coverage until the total amount of the Underlying Single Loss Limit of Insurance as stated in ITEM 5 C. of the Declarations has been exhausted solely by reason of the payment of loss by the Underlying Insurer(s) as covered loss under the applicable Underlying Insurance.

 

  E.

Any claim, loss or coverage that is subject to a Sublimit in any Underlying Insurance shall not be considered covered loss under this Excess Bond Coverage, but shall, for purposes of this Excess Bond Coverage, reduce or exhaust the Underlying Limit of Insurance to the extent such payment reduces or exhausts the aggregate limit(s) of insurance of such Underlying Insurance.

SECTION 2. LIMIT OF INSURANCE

 

  A.

Payment by the Company of loss covered under this Excess Bond Coverage shall reduce the Aggregate Limit of Insurance of this Excess Bond Coverage set forth in ITEM 4 B. of the Declarations. In the event of exhaustion of the Aggregate Limit of Insurance of this Excess Bond Coverage set forth in ITEM 4 B. of the Declarations, the Company shall be relieved of all further liability under this Excess Bond Coverage.

 

XSB-3001 Ed. 01-12         Page 1 of 3
© 2012 The Travelers Indemnity Company. All rights reserved.   


  B.

The Company’s maximum liability for a Single Loss covered under this Excess Bond Coverage shall not exceed the amount of the Single Loss Limit of Insurance stated in ITEM 4 A. of the Declarations. Also, the Company’s maximum liability for all loss(es) in the aggregate covered under this Excess Bond Coverage shall not exceed the amount of the Aggregate Limit of Insurance stated in ITEM 4 B. of the Declarations, which shall be the maximum liability of the Company in the Excess Bond Coverage Period stated in ITEM 2 of the Declarations.

 

  C.

Except as provided in Section 2. Limit Of Insurance, D. and E. below, the Company shall only be liable to make payment for a Single Loss covered under this Excess Bond Coverage after the total amount of the Underlying Single Loss Limit of Insurance as stated in ITEM 5 C. of the Declarations has been paid solely by reason of the payment of loss by the Underlying Insurer(s) as covered loss under the applicable Underlying Insurance.

 

  D.

In the event the total amount of the Underlying Aggregate Limit of Insurance as stated in ITEM 5 D. of the Declarations is reduced solely by reason of the payment of covered loss by any Underlying Insurer to an amount less than the total amount of the Underlying Single Loss Limit of Insurance as stated in ITEM 5 C. of the Declarations, this Excess Bond Coverage shall pay covered loss excess of the reduced total amount of Underlying Aggregate Limit of Insurance, but not to exceed the amount of the Single Loss Limit of Insurance stated in ITEM 4 A. of the Declarations, and subject always to the remaining Aggregate Limit of Insurance of this Excess Bond Coverage.

 

  E.

In the event of exhaustion of the total amount of Underlying Aggregate Limit of Insurance as set forth in ITEM 5 D. of the Declarations, solely by reason of the payment of covered loss by the Underlying Insurer(s), this Excess Bond Coverage shall continue in force as primary insurance, provided always that this policy shall only pay covered loss excess over any retention or deductible amount otherwise applicable under the Underlying Insurance scheduled in ITEM 5 A. of the Declarations, such amount not to exceed the Single Loss Limit of Insurance stated in ITEM 4 A. of the Declarations and subject always to the remaining Aggregate Limit of Insurance of this Excess Bond Coverage.

SECTION 3. JOINT INSUREDS

If two or more Insureds are covered under this Excess Bond Coverage, the first named Insured shall act for all Insureds. Payment by the Company to the first named Insured or to any named Insured of loss covered under this Excess Bond Coverage shall fully release the Company on account of such loss. The liability of the Company for loss(es) sustained by all Insureds shall not exceed the amount for which the Company would have been liable had all such loss(es) been sustained by one Insured.

SECTION 4. NOTICE/PROOF OF LOSS – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST COMPANY

 

  A.

The Insured(s) shall, within the time and manner prescribed in the Bond or Policy identified in ITEM 6 of the Declarations, give the Company notice of any loss of the kind covered by this Excess Bond Coverage, whether or not the Company is liable therefor in whole or in part, and upon request of the Company, the Insured(s) shall file with the Company a written statement of such loss and a copy of all correspondence between the Insured(s) and any Insurer identified in ITEM 5 A. and B. of the Declarations. Notice given to any Insurer identified in ITEM 5 A. and B. of the Declarations of this Excess Bond Coverage shall not constitute notice as required under Section 4. Notice/Proof Of Loss – Legal Proceedings Against Company.

 

  B.

The Insured(s) shall, within the time and manner prescribed in the Bond or Policy identified in ITEM 6 of the Declarations, file with the Company a proof of loss for any loss of the kind covered by this Excess Bond Coverage, whether or not the Company is liable therefore in whole or in part, and upon request of the Company the Insured(s) shall furnish a copy of all documents provided to or made available to any Insurer identified in ITEM 5 A. and B. of the Declarations in support of any proof of loss filed with such Insurer.

In consideration of the premium paid, and subject to the provisions of this Policy and the Declarations and any Schedules and Endorsements attached hereto, all of which are made a part of this Policy, the Insurer and Named Insured, on behalf of all Insureds, agree as follows:

 

 

INSURING AGREEMENT

 

Except as specifically set forth herein, and subject to the Limits of Insurance shown on the Declarations, this Policy shall provide insurance excess of the Underlying Insurance in conformance with all provisions of the Followed Policy. Liability shall attach to the Insurer only after the full amount of the applicable Underlying Limit, and any applicable retention or deductible, has been paid, in legal currency, by the insurers of the Underlying Insurance, the Insureds, or others on behalf of the Insureds, in any combination, in accordance with the terms of the Underlying Insurance.

 

 

DEFINITIONS

 

Whether expressed in the singular or the plural, whenever appearing in bold in this Policy, the following terms have the meanings set forth below.

Followed Policy means the insurance policies identified as such in the Schedule of Underlying Insurance attached hereto.

Insureds means all persons and entities identified as such in the Followed Policy.

Named Insured means the persons or entities designated as such in the Declarations.

Policy Period means the period designated as such in the Declarations.

Underlying Insurance means the Followed Policy and all other policies, if any, identified as such in the Schedule of Underlying Insurance attached hereto.

Underlying Limit means an amount equal to the aggregate of all applicable limits of insurance set forth in the Schedule of Underlying Insurance attached hereto.

 

 

CONDITIONS

 

 

A.

Wherever the term claim appears in this Policy, it refers to claim, loss or occurrence, or the equivalent of such terms, as used in the Followed Policy.

 

B.

This Policy shall not apply to any coverage under the Followed Policy that is subject to a sublimit of insurance in any Underlying Insurance, unless specifically listed as a sublimited coverage on the Schedule of Underlying Insurance. However, payment for any sublimited coverage in any manner described in the INSURING AGREEMENT section of this Policy shall reduce the Underlying Limit by the amount of such payment, whether or not such coverage is listed on the Schedule of Underlying Insurance.

 

C.

The Insureds shall give written notice to the Insurer if any Underlying Insurance is changed or terminated or if any insurer of the Underlying Insurance becomes financially unable to pay its limit of insurance. No such event shall affect coverage under this Policy, unless the Insurer so agrees in writing. The failure of the Insureds to comply with this section shall not invalidate coverage. However, the Insurer shall not be liable to a greater extent than it would have been had no such event occurred.

 

D.

All notices to the Insurer must be in writing and delivered by prepaid express courier or certified mail, facsimile, or electronic mail to the applicable address, fax number, or email address designated in the Declarations. Notice to any other insurer shall not constitute notice to the Insurer unless also given to the Insurer as provided herein.

 

E.

The Insurer may, at its sole discretion, elect to participate in the investigation, defense and settlement of any claim or other matter to which the coverage under this Policy could apply even if the applicable Underlying Limit has not been exhausted. The Insureds shall provide the Insurer with information, assistance and cooperation as the Insurer reasonably requests and shall do nothing to prejudice the Insurer’s position or potential rights of recovery; provided, however, the failure of an Insured to comply with such request shall not be imputed to any other natural person Insured under this Policy. No action by any other insurer shall bind the Insurer under this Policy.

DEFINITIONS ADDED – SUBLIMIT OR SUBLIMITED ENDORSEMENT

It is agreed that a new definition is added as follows:

Wherever the following words appear in the policy, whether in bold or unbolded, they shall have the following meaning:

Sublimit or sublimited means any limit that is:

 

  1.

  2.

not part of and does not erode the policy aggregate limit of insurance; or

U.S. SPECIALTY INSURANCE COMPANY

EXCESS FINANCIAL INSTITUTION BOND

INSURING AGREEMENT: In consideration of the payment of the premium, and in reliance upon all statements made and information furnished to the Insurer and the issuers of the Underlying Insurance, and subject to the Declarations and all terms, conditions and limitations of this Bond (including any endorsement or rider hereto), the Insurer agrees to indemnify the Insured for loss discovered during the Bond Period which exceeds the Underlying Insurance but is otherwise payable thereunder. Coverage under this Bond shall apply in conformance with the terms, conditions and limitations of the Primary Bond (including any endorsement or rider thereto); provided that, in the event any provision of this Bond conflicts with any provision of the Primary Bond, the provision of this Bond shall control.

DEFINITIONS

 

A.

Bond Period means the period set forth in ITEM 2 of the Declarations, subject to prior termination or cancellation in accordance with the provisions of the Primary Bond.

 

B.

Insured(s) means the organization(s) designated as an insured under the Primary Bond.

 

C.

Primary Bond means the bond designated as such in ITEM 4 of the Declarations.

 

D.

Underlying Insurance means all bonds scheduled in ITEM 4 of the Declarations (including the Primary Bond).

CONDITIONS

 

A.

Maintenance of Underlying Insurance

 

  1.

All of the Underlying Insurance shall be maintained during the Bond Period in full effect. In the event the Underlying Insurance is not so maintained, the Insurer shall not be liable under this Bond earlier or to any greater extent than it would have been if such Underlying Insurance had been maintained. The Insurer shall be notified in writing as soon as practicable if any Underlying Insurance is terminated or cancelled during the Bond Period.

 

  2.

No amendment to the Primary Bond during the Bond Period shall broaden or extend coverage under this Bond unless the Insurer evidences its intent to follow form to such amendment by written endorsement or rider hereto. The Insurer shall be notified in writing as soon as practicable of any amendment to the Primary Bond.

 

B.

Reduction or Exhaustion of Underlying Limits

 

  1.

In the event of reduction of the applicable Limit(s) of Liability of the Underlying Insurance, this Bond shall continue to apply as excess insurance. In the event of exhaustion of all applicable Limit(s) of Liability of the Underlying Insurance, and satisfaction of the applicable deductible specified in the Primary Bond, this Bond shall apply as primary insurance. Such deductible shall apply to subsequent loss under this Bond.

 

  2.

If an issuer of Underlying Insurance fails to pay covered loss thereunder for any reason, whether due to such issuer’s insolvency or for any other reason, the Insured shall be deemed self-insured with respect to such loss. No failure to pay on the part of an issuer of Underlying Insurance shall cause the Insurer to be liable under this Bond earlier or to any greater extent than it would have been in the absence of such failure.

 

C.

Limits of Liability: The Single Loss Limit of Liability set forth in ITEM 3(a) of the Declarations shall be the Insurer’s maximum liability under this Bond for any one loss. The Aggregate Limit of Liability set forth in ITEM 3(b) of the Declarations shall be the Insurer’s total cumulative liability for all amounts payable under this Bond, regardless of the number of losses or any other circumstance. Each payment made under this Bond shall reduce the Aggregate Limit of Liability, except when a loss is settled by indemnity in lieu of payment. Upon exhaustion of the Aggregate Limit of Liability, the Insurer shall have no further obligation or liability under this Bond, regardless of when a loss may be discovered and whether or not it was previously reported to the Insurer. The Aggregate Limit of Liability shall not be increased or reinstated by any recovery.

 

D.

Notice and Proof of Loss: As a condition precedent to coverage under this Bond, the Insureds must give the Insurer written notice of any loss and proof of loss in the same manner as required under the Primary Bond, except that such notice and proof of loss must be sent to the Insurer at the address set forth in ITEM 6 of the Declarations.

 

E.

Amendment: This Bond cannot be amended or assigned, and no provision of it may be waived, except by written endorsement or rider issued to form a part of this Bond.

WHEREAS, each of the Trusts and Funds has retained Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) as investment adviser;

WHEREAS, the Trusts and Funds are or will be named as insureds under a joint Investment Company Blanket Bond (the “Bond”) issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA, Federal Insurance Company, Continental Casualty Company, Travelers Casualty & Surety Company of America, Berkley Regional Insurance Company, Axis Insurance Company, US Specialty Insurance Company, Great American Insurance Company, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, XL Specialty Insurance Company, RLI Insurance Company, National Casualty Company, ACE American Insurance Company, Crum & Forster Insurance Company, and Hartford Fire Insurance Company (collectively, the “Insurers”);

WHEREAS, the Trusts desire to establish (i) the basis on which additional investment companies for which PIMCO may hereafter act as investment adviser or investment manager may be added as named insureds under the Bond, and (ii) the criteria by which recoveries under the Bond shall be allocated among the parties;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1.  If the Insurers are willing without additional premium to add, as an insured under the Bond, any investment company not listed at the head of this agreement or in Exhibit I for which PIMCO hereafter is investment adviser or investment manager, which may be included in


the Bond pursuant to Rule 17g-1(b) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Act”), the Trusts agree (a) that such addition may be made, provided that those trustees of each Trust who are not “interested persons” of such Trust shall approve such addition, and (b) that such investment company may become a party to this agreement and be included within the terms “Trust,” “Fund,” or “party,” provided that in each case such investment company shall have executed and delivered to the Trusts its written agreement to become a party hereto and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

2.  In the event that the claims of loss of two or more insureds under the Bond are so related that the Insurers are entitled to assert that the claims must be aggregated, each Trust or Fund, as applicable, shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but at least equal to the amount it would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required under Rule 17g-1 under the Act.

3.  For the entities organized as trusts, a copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or Trust Instrument of each Trust is on file with the Secretary of State or Secretary of the Commonwealth of the state or commonwealth in which such Trust is organized, and notice is hereby given that this instrument is executed on behalf of the Trustees of each Trust as Trustees and not individually and that the obligations under this instrument are not binding upon any of the Trustees or holders of shares of beneficial interest of any Trust or Fund individually but are binding only upon the respective assets and property of each Trust and Fund.
