The Company made the initial filing on August 20, 2012 for the purpose of adding the Fund as a new series of the Company.  The sixteen additional filings were made for the purpose of delaying the automatic effectiveness date of the amendment.  As of the last filing shown, the amendment was scheduled to become effective on January 24, 2014.
 
Subsequent to these filings, the Company decided not to go forward with the offering of the Fund as a series of the Company.  No securities were sold in connection with this offering.
