Proxies representing less than a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund had been received, and therefore a quorum for the conduct of business was not present at the Special Meeting. Fund management determined that given the low turnout and costs of further solicitation there would be no further solicitation of proxies on the Proposal and the Special Meeting would not be reconvened at a later date.
