Level Distribution Policy continued... Distributions expected to consist primarily of net investment income and return of capital* The policy is subject to suspension, revision or termination at any time without notice to shareholders * A return of capital represents a return of a shareholder's original investment in a Fund's shares; it is not net investment income. Increasing distributions by including a return of capital does not increase yield.
