Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 - quoted prices generally in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates and yield curves, prepayment speeds, foreign currency exchange rates, and amortized cost.

Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs for securities valued in accordance with Board approved fair valuation procedures.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2013 in valuing such portfolio securities:

Fair Value of Level 2 investments at December 31, 2012 was $313,605,230, which was a result of fair valuing foreign securities using pricing vendor adjustment factors. An amount of $42,449,086 was transferred from Level 2 into Level 1 at September 30, 2013 as a result of using quoted prices in active markets for such foreign securities.

It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the fair values as of the beginning of the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.

Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Valuation of Investments: The Fund holds portfolio securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under the Fund’s Valuation Procedures, the Valuation Committee was established by the Board of Directors and is responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board of Directors at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, which are summarized in the three broad level hierarchies based on any observable inputs used as described in the table following the Schedule of Investments. The valuation methodologies and significant inputs used in determining the fair value of securities and other assets classified as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the hierarchy are as follows:

Common stock, warrants, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (including futures contracts and certain options contracts on securities), that are traded on a securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

In the event there is no sale or official closing price on such day, these securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. These securities are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these inputs are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.

For common stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges, certain valuation adjustments will be applied when events occur after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time. These securities are valued using pricing vendor services that provide adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such adjustment factors are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 as these securities have the ability to be purchased or sold at their net asset value on the date of valuation.

Securities and other assets that cannot be priced using the methods described above are valued with pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee. Where there are unobservable inputs used when determining such valuation, the securities will be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

The Fund may hold warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, included as part of a private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock, or such other security that the issuer may specify, at a specific

price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Fund until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures.

Other information regarding the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to Shareholders. This information is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov).
