You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s managed distribution policy. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates, are likely to change over time, and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.

The Fund’s Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return for fiscal year 2022 (January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return with the Fund’s Cumulative Distribution Rate for 2022. In addition, the Fund’s Average Annual Total Return for the five-year period ending June 30, 2022 is set forth below. Shareholders should note the relationship between the Average Annual Total Return with the Fund’s Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2022. The performance and distribution rate information disclosed in the table is based on the Fund’s net asset value per share (NAV). The Fund’s NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s individual investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund’s shares in the open market.

Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV over the year-to-date time period including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of those distributions.

 

  2.

Cumulative Distribution Rate for the Fund’s current fiscal period (January 1, 2022 through July 31, 2022) measured on the dollar value of distributions in the year-to-date period as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV as of June 30, 2022.

 

  3.

Average Annual Total Return represents the compound average of the Annual NAV Total Returns of the Fund for the five-year period ending June 30, 2022. Annual NAV Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV over a year including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of those distributions.

This Fund has a managed distribution policy that seeks to deliver the Fund’s long term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per 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 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. 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 Directors of the Fund may amend, 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.

Shareholders should not use the information provided in preparing their tax returns. Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year indicating how to report fund distributions for federal income tax purposes.

This Fund has a managed distribution policy that seeks to deliver the Fund’s long term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per 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 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. 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 Directors of the Fund may amend, 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.

Shareholders should not use the information provided in preparing their tax returns. Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year indicating how to report fund distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The Fund’s Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return for fiscal year 2022 (January 1, 2022 through November 30, 2022) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return with the Fund’s Cumulative Distribution Rate for 2022. In addition, the Fund’s Average Annual Total Return for the five-year period ending November 30, 2022 is set forth below. Shareholders should note the relationship between the Average Annual Total Return with the Fund’s Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2022. The performance and distribution rate information disclosed in the table is based on the Fund’s net asset value per share (NAV). The Fund’s NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s individual investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund’s shares in the open market.
