If your Common Shares are registered in the name of your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee (“Nominee Holder”), contact that Nominee Holder to withdraw your tendered Common Shares.

1. Withdrawal. If you have tendered your Common Shares pursuant to the Offer, you may withdraw your Common Shares previously tendered by completing, executing and sending the attached “Notice of Withdrawal” to any one of the addresses set forth on the first page of the Notice of Withdrawal. If your Common Shares are registered in the name of your broker or other Nominee Holder, contact that Nominee Holder to withdraw your tendered Common Shares.

The method of delivery of any documents related to a withdrawal is at the option and risk of the withdrawing holder of Common Shares. Any documents related to a withdrawal will be deemed delivered only when actually received by the Depositary. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery. If your Common Shares are registered in the name of your broker or other Nominee Holder, you may need to allow such Nominee Holder additional time to withdraw your tendered Common Shares on or before the Expiration Date. You should consult your broker or other Nominee Holder to determine if there is an earlier deadline by which you must inform such Nominee Holder of any decision to withdraw your tendered Common Shares.

3. Procedures and Signature Guarantee. The Notice of Withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Common Shares to be withdrawn, the number of Common Shares to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of Common Shares, if different from that of the person who tendered such Common Shares. If the Common Shares to be withdrawn have been delivered to the Depositary, a signed notice of withdrawal (or, in the case of Common Shares tendered by book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message (as defined in the Offer to Purchase)) with (except in the case of Common Shares tendered by an Eligible Institution (as defined below)) signatures guaranteed by an Eligible Institution must be submitted prior to the release of such Common Shares. In addition, such notice must specify, in the case of Common Shares tendered by Direct Registration System transaction, the name of the registered holder (if different from that of the tendering holder of Common Shares) and the number of Common Shares to be withdrawn or, in the case of Common Shares tendered by book-entry transfer, the name and number of the account at The Depository Trust Company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility”) to be credited with the withdrawn Common Shares. An “Eligible Institution” is a financial institution (including most banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a member of a recognized Medallion Program approved by The Securities Transfer Association Inc., including the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP). If this Notice of Withdrawal is signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, agents, attorneys -in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, should indicate location of signing and must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Fund of their authority to so act.
