The fund's investment objective is to provide high current income consistent with prudent total return asset management.
 
Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.
 
Bond investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Investments in lower-quality and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Leverage results in additional risks and can magnify the effect of any gains or losses. Investing in foreign securities, particularly those of emerging markets, presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks.
 
DWS Investments is part of Deutsche Bank's Asset Management division and, within the US, represents the retail asset management activities of Deutsche Bank AG, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. and DWS Trust Company.

Performance Summary May 31, 2011
 
Performance is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when sold, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit www.dws-investments.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance.

 Total returns shown for periods less than one year are not annualized.
 
(a) Total return based on net asset value reflects changes in the Fund's net asset value during each period. Total return based on market price reflects changes in market price. Each figure assumes that dividend and capital gain distributions, if any, were reinvested. These figures will differ depending upon the level of any discount from or premium to NAV at which the Fund's shares traded during the period.
 
(b) The Credit Suisse High Yield Index is an unmanaged, unleveraged, trader-priced portfolio constructed to mirror the global high-yield debt market. Index returns, unlike fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.
 
(c) Lipper's Closed-End General Bond Funds category represents funds that have no quality or maturity restrictions, can use leverage and tend to invest in lower-grade debt issues. Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns based on net asset value reported by all of the closed-end funds designated by Lipper Inc. as falling into the Closed-End General Bond Funds category. Category returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. It is not possible to invest directly in a Lipper category.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2011 in valuing the Fund's investments. For information on the Fund's policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to Note A in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

b During the period ending November 30, 2007, the Fund issued 3,647,934 shares in connection with a rights offering of the Fund's shares. Without the effect of the rights offering costs, total return based on net asset value would have been 0.10% higher.
c Total return based on net asset value reflects changes in the Fund's net asset value during each period. Total return based on market price reflects changes in market price. Each figure assumes that dividend and capital gain distributions, if any, were reinvested. These figures will differ depending upon the level of any discount from or premium to NAV at which the Fund's shares trade during the period.
d Total return would have been lower had certain fees not been reduced.
e Asset coverage equals the total net assets plus borrowings of the Fund divided by the borrowings outstanding at period end.
f Includes a non-recurring reimbursement from the Advisor for a fee previously charged to the Fund. Excluding this non-recurring reimbursement, total return would have been 0.09% lower.

Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
Debt securities and senior loans are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Fund's Board. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from one or more broker-dealers. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.
 
Equity securities are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (US or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade and are categorized as Level 1 securities. Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation.
 
Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value, and are categorized as Level 2. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1.
 
Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and are categorized as Level 2.
 
Swap contracts are valued daily based upon prices supplied by a Board approved pricing vendor, if available, and otherwise are valued at the price provided by the broker-dealer. Swap contracts are generally categorized as Level 2.
 
Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures, factors used in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities); an analysis of the company's or issuer's financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold and with respect to debt securities; the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.
 
Disclosure about the classification of fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund's Investment Portfolio.
 
Securities Lending. The Fund lends securities to certain financial institutions. The Fund retains beneficial ownership of the securities it has loaned and continues to receive interest and dividends paid by the issuer of securities and to participate in any changes in their market price. The Fund requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund consisting of either cash or liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best efforts to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the security lending agreement. The Fund may invest the cash collateral into a joint trading account in an affiliated money market fund pursuant to Exemptive Orders issued by the SEC. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The Fund is also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.
 
Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in US dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.
 
Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount actually received. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.
 
When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time the Fund enters into a commitment to purchase or sell a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the transaction is reflected in the net asset value. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. At the time the Fund enters into a purchase of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment.
 
Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.
 
Loan Participations and Assignments. Loan Participations and Assignments are portions of loans originated by banks and sold in pieces to investors. These fixed and floating rate loans ("Loans") in which the Fund invests, are arranged between the borrower and one or more financial institutions ("Lenders"). These Loans may take the form of Senior Loans, which are corporate obligations often issued in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, leveraged buy-outs and refinancings, and Sovereign Loans, which are debt instruments between a foreign sovereign entity and one or more financial institutions. The Fund invests in such Loans in the form of participations in Loans ("Participations") or assignments of all or a portion of Loans from third parties ("Assignments"). Participations typically result in the Fund having a contractual relationship only with the Lender, not with the borrower. The Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled from the Lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the Loan, or any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Fund will not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the Loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation. Assignments typically result in the Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. All Loan Participations and Assignments involve interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk, including the potential default or insolvency of the borrower.
 
Federal Income Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
 
At November 30, 2010, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $24,924,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until November 30, 2015 ($813,000), November 30, 2016 ($10,986,000) and November 30, 2017 ($13,125,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.
 
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") was enacted. Under the Act, net capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may expire unused, whereas under the previous rules these losses may have been utilized. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
 
The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of November 30, 2010 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund, if any, is declared and distributed to shareholders monthly. Net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the Fund if not distributed, and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders at least annually.
 
The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences primarily relate to forward currency contracts, swap contracts, certain securities sold at a loss and premium amortization on debt securities. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.
 
The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
 
Statement of Cash Flows. Information on financial transactions which have been settled through the receipt and disbursement of cash is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows represents the foreign currency positions and cash position at the Fund's custodian bank at May 31, 2011.
 
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis net of foreign withholding taxes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date net of foreign withholding taxes. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes, with the exception of securities in default of principal.
 
B. Derivative Instruments
 
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract between a buyer and a seller of protection against pre-defined credit events for the reference entity. For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund bought or sold credit default swap contracts to gain exposure to an underlying issuer's credit quality characteristics without directly investing in that issuer, or to hedge portfolio credit risk. As a seller in the credit default swap contract, the Fund is required to pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the referenced entity to the counterparty with the occurrence of a credit event by a third party, such as a US or foreign corporate issuer, on the reference entity, which would likely result in a loss to the Fund. In return, the Fund receives from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Fund keeps the stream of payments with no payment obligations. The Fund may also buy credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of a credit event on debt securities, in which case the Fund functions as the counterparty referenced above. This involves the risk that the contract may expire worthless. It also involves counterparty risk that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Fund with the occurrence of a credit event. When the Fund sells a credit default swap contract it will cover its commitment. This may be achieved by, among other methods, maintaining cash or liquid assets equal to the aggregate notional value of the reference entities for all outstanding credit default swap contracts sold by the Fund.
 
The value of the credit default swap is adjusted daily and the change in value, if any, is recorded daily as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. An upfront payment, if any, made by the Fund is recorded as an asset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. An upfront payment, if any, received by the Fund is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Under the terms of the credit default swap contracts, the Fund receives or makes quarterly payments based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount. These payments are recorded as a realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized, net of a proportional amount of the upfront payment, as realized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations.
 
A summary of the open credit default swap contracts as of May 31, 2011 is included in a table following the Fund's Investment Portfolio. For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the investment in credit default swap contracts purchased had a total notional value generally indicative of a range from $0 to approximately $555,000, and the investment in credit default swap contracts sold had a total notional value generally indicative of approximately $2,840,000.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. The Fund is subject to foreign exchange rate risk in its securities denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the US dollar may affect the US dollar value of foreign securities or the income or gains received on these securities. A forward foreign currency exchange contract (forward currency contract) is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund entered into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign currency denominated portfolio holdings and to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities.
 
Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and unrealized gain (loss) is recorded daily. On the settlement date of the forward currency contract, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was closed. Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The maximum counterparty credit risk to the Fund is measured by the unrealized gain on appreciated contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward currency contracts to hedge, the Fund gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.
 
A summary of the open forward currency contracts as of May 31, 2011 is included in a table following the Fund's Investment Portfolio. For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the investment in forward currency contracts short vs. US dollars had a total contract value generally indicative of a range from approximately $7,727,000 to $9,790,000.

C. Purchases and Sales of Securities
 
During the six months ended May 31, 2011, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $116,628,551 and $111,108,433, respectively.
 
D. Related Parties
 
Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The Fund pays a monthly investment management fee of 1/12 of the annualized rate of 0.85% of the Fund's average weekly net assets.
 
Service Provider Fees. DWS Investments Service Company ("DISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), DISC has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent functions to DST. DISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the amount charged to the Fund by DISC aggregated $15,640, of which $10,785 is unpaid.
 
Typesetting and Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing typesetting and certain regulatory filing services to the Fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the amount charged to the Fund by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $8,304, of which $7,604 is unpaid.
 
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Fund paid each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for various committee services and for the Board Chairperson.
 
Affiliated Cash Management Vehicle. The Fund may invest uninvested cash balances in Central Cash Management Fund, which is managed by the Advisor. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Central Cash Management Fund. Central Cash Management Fund does not pay the Advisor an investment management fee. Central Cash Management Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital.
 
E. Investing in High-Yield Securities
 
The Fund's performance could be hurt if a security declines in credit quality or goes into default, or if an issuer does not make timely payments of interest or principal. Because the issuers of high-yield debt securities or junk bonds (debt securities rated below the fourth-highest category) may be in uncertain financial health, the prices of their debt securities can be more vulnerable to bad economic news, or even the expectation of bad news, than investment-grade debt securities. Because the Fund may invest in securities not paying current interest or in securities already in default, these risks may be more pronounced.
 
F. Investing in Emerging Markets
 
Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in developed markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation or deflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls or delayed settlements, and may have prices that are more volatile or less easily assessed than those of comparable securities of issuers in developed markets.
 
G. Borrowings
 
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit agreement with a commercial bank (the "Lender"), which allows the Fund to borrow against a secured line of credit in an aggregate amount up to $115,000,000 ($92,000,000 prior to June 23, 2011). The borrowings under the line of credit are secured by a pledge of the Fund's portfolio securities. The revolving credit agreement facility has a maturity date of June 21, 2012 subject to early termination discussed below. There is no assurance the facility will be renewed in 2012. The notes payable represent a secured loan of $92,000,000, which is the amount drawn on the facility at May 31, 2011. The note bears interest at the commercial paper rate plus program fees. A commitment fee on any unused portion of the credit line is charged to the Fund and is included with "interest expense" in the Statement of Operations. The loan amounts and rates are reset periodically under the revolving credit agreement.
 
At May 31, 2011, the Fund had a notes payable outstanding of $92,000,000. The weighted average outstanding daily balance of all loans during the six months ended May 31, 2011 was approximately $92,000,000, with a weighted average borrowing cost of 1.10%. The borrowings were valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
 
Draws on the line of credit are funded by the issuance of commercial paper. The Lender's obligation under the revolving credit agreement is supported by a Standby Purchase Agreement between the Lender and a commercial bank. The Lender's commitment under the revolving credit agreement is subject to early termination on the scheduled termination date of the Standby Purchase Agreement. The Standby Purchase Agreement had an initial term of 364 days, and is renewable for additional periods, which may be shorter than 364 days. As such, the revolving credit agreement may be terminated by the Lender upon ninety (90) days notice if the Standby Purchase Agreement is not renewed at any time, and is also subject to other customary termination events.
 
Leverage involves risks and special considerations for the Fund's stockholders, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of, and dividends on, the Fund's shares than a comparable portfolio without leverage; the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on such borrowings will reduce the return to stockholders; and the effect of leverage in a declining market, which is likely to cause a greater decline in the net asset value of the Fund's shares than if the Fund were not leveraged, which may result in a greater decline in the market price of the Fund's shares.
 
Changes in the value of the Fund's portfolio will be borne entirely by the stockholders. If there is a net decrease (or increase) in the value of the Fund's investment portfolio, leverage will decrease (or increase) the net asset value per share to a greater extent than if leverage were not used. It is also possible that the Fund will be required to sell assets at a time when it would otherwise not do so, possibly at a loss, in order to redeem or meet payment obligations on borrowings to comply with asset coverage or other restrictions imposed by the lender. The Fund is subject to certain restrictions on its investments under the terms of its credit agreement. Moreover, certain covenants contained in the credit agreement impose asset coverage or portfolio composition requirements that are more stringent than those imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act.
 
There is no assurance that the Fund's leveraging strategy will be successful.
 
H. Share Repurchases
 
The Fund is authorized to effect periodic repurchases of its outstanding shares in the open market from time to time when the Fund's shares trade at a discount to their net asset value. During the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund did not repurchase shares.
 
Shareholder Meeting Results (Unaudited)
 
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") of DWS Multi-Market Income Trust (the "Fund") was held on June 3, 2011 at the offices of Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc., 24th Floor, 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154. At the close of business on April 8, 2011, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, there were issued and outstanding 24,291,831 shares of beneficial interest, each share being entitled to one vote, constituting all of the Fund's outstanding voting securities. At the Meeting, the holders of 21,884,425 shares of beneficial interest were represented in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum. The following matter was voted upon by the shareholders (the resulting votes are presented below).

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
 
A summary of the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan") is set forth below. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the entire Plan by visiting the Fund's Web site at www.dws-investments.com or by writing or calling DWS Investment Service Company ("DISC") at:
 
P.O. Box 219066
 
Kansas City, Missouri 64121-9066
 
(800) 294-4366
 
If you wish to participate in the Plan and your shares are held in your own name, simply contact DISC for the appropriate form. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee, you should contact the broker or nominee in whose name your shares are held to determine whether and how you may participate in the Plan. The Fund's transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent (the "Transfer Agent") will establish a Dividend Investment Account (the "Account") for each shareholder participating in the Plan. The Transfer Agent will credit to the Account of each participant any cash dividends and capital gains distributions (collectively, "Distributions") paid on shares of the Fund (the "Shares"). Shares in a participant's Account are transferable upon proper written instructions to the Transfer Agent. Upon request to the Transfer Agent, a certificate for any or all full Shares in a participant's Account will be sent to the participant.
 
If, on the record date for a Distribution (the "Record Date"), Shares are trading at a discount from net asset value per Share, funds credited to a participant's Account will be used to purchase Shares (the "Purchase"). The Plan Agent (currently Computershare Inc.) will attempt, commencing five days prior to the Payment Date and ending at the close of business on the Payment Date ("Payment Date" as used herein shall mean the last business day of the month in which such Record Date occurs), to acquire Shares in the open market. If and to the extent that the Plan Agent is unable to acquire sufficient Shares to satisfy the Distribution by the close of business on the Payment Date, the Fund will issue to the Plan Agent, Shares valued at net asset value per Share in the aggregate amount of the remaining value of the Distribution. If, on the Record Date, Shares are trading at a premium over net asset value per Share, the Fund will issue on the Payment Date Shares valued at net asset value per Share on the Record Date to the Transfer Agent in the aggregate amount of the funds credited to the participants' Accounts. The Fund will increase the price at which Shares may be issued under the Plan to 95% of the fair market value of the shares on the Record Date if the net asset value per Share of the Shares on the Record Date is less than 95% of the fair market value of the Shares on the Record Date. If Shares are issued at a discount to the price at market on the Record Date, shareholders are treated for federal income tax purposes as having received a taxable distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares. In effect, the discount from market price is added to the amount of the distribution. Such amount is considered taxable income and is added to the cost basis of the issued Shares.
 
The cost of Shares acquired for each participant's Account in connection with a Purchase shall be determined by the average cost per Share, including brokerage commissions, of the Shares acquired in connection with that Purchase. There will be no brokerage charges with respect to Shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of Distributions. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to open market purchases. Brokerage charges for purchasing small amounts of Shares for individual Accounts through the Plan can be expected to be less than the usual brokerage charges for such transactions, as the Plan Agent will be purchasing Shares for all participants in blocks and prorating the lower commission thus attainable.
 
A participant may from time to time make voluntary cash contributions to his Account in a minimum amount of $100 (no more than $500 may be contributed per month). Participants making voluntary cash investments will be charged a $0.75 service fee for each such investment and will be responsible for their pro rata share of brokerage commissions. Please contact DISC for more information on voluntary cash contributions.
 
The Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan, including provisions with respect to any Distribution paid, subsequent to notice thereof sent to participants in the Plan at least ninety days before the record date for such Distribution, except when such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority, in which case such amendment shall be effective as soon as practicable. The Plan may be terminated by the Fund.
 
Shareholders may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving the Transfer Agent a written notice. A notice of withdrawal will be effective for the next Distribution following receipt of the notice by the Transfer Agent provided the notice is received by the Transfer Agent at least ten days prior to the Record Date for the Distribution. When a participant withdraws from the Plan, or when the Plan is terminated by the Fund, the participant will receive a certificate for full Shares in the Account, plus a check for any fractional Shares based on market price; or, if a Participant so desires, the Transfer Agent will notify the Plan Agent to sell his Shares in the Plan and send the proceeds to the participant, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
 
Shareholders will receive tax information annually for personal records and to assist in preparation of their federal income tax returns.
