Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
This statement is filed on behalf of Bulldog Investors,
Brooklyn Capital Mangement, Phillip Goldstein,
60 Heritage Drive Pleasantville, NY 10570 a principal of Bulldog Investors
and Andrew Dakos, Park 80 West,Saddle Brook, NJ 07663, also a principal
of Bulldog Investors. Mr.Goldstein and Mr. Dakos are self-employed
investment advisors.

On January 31, 2007 the Acting Director of the Securities Division of the
Massachusetts Secretary of State filed a complaint against Bulldog
Investors, Mr. Goldstein, Mr. Dakos and certain related parties
(the Bulldog Parties) alleging that they violated Massachusetts law by
operating a website containing information about certain unregistered
investments and by sending an e-mail about such investments to an
individual who requested it without first determining whether he was
eligible to invest in such funds. On March 23, 2007 the Bulldog Parties
filed a lawsuit in the Massachusetts Superior Court against the Secretary
alleging that his enforcement action violated 42 U.S.C. ss 1983 because,
among other things, it violated their First Amendment rights. On October
17, 2007 the Secretary issued an "obey the law" cease and desist order
(the Order) and fined the Bulldog Parties $25,000.  On November 15, 2007
the Bulldog Parties filed an appeal of the Order in the Massachusetts
Superior Court which subsequently upheld the Order. The Bulldog Parties
further appealed the Order to the Massachusetts Appeals Court. On October
21, 2009 the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (the SJC) unilaterally
transferred the case to itself and on July 2, 2010 upheld the Order except
for the Bulldog Parties' First Amendment claim which it ruled must be
decided in the appeal of the aforementioned ss 1983 lawsuit. In the ss 1983
lawsuit, the Secretary stipulated that the website and email in question
did not concern an illegal transaction and were not misleading. Nevertheless,
on September 26, 2009, the Superior Court ruled that the Secretary's
enforcement action did not violate the Bulldog Parties' First Amendment
rights. The Bulldog Parties filed an appeal of the Superior Court's ruling
in the Massachusetts Appeals Court. On July 23, 2010, the SJC unilaterally
transferred the appeal of the ss 1983 lawsuit to itself. On September 22,
2011 the SJC affirmed the Superior Court's ruling and declined to reconsider
the Bulldog Parties' personal jurisdiction claim. On March 27, 2012 the U.S.
Congress approved the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), which
would allow privately-held companies like those managed by Bulldog Investors
to engage in general solicitations so long as sales of interests in such
funds are limited to accredited investors. If the JOBS Act is signed into
law by the President, the Bulldog Parties intend to seek to vacate the Order,
because the activities they were alleged to have engaged in would no longer
be prohibited by law. On February 1, 2012, the Bulldog Parties filed a
petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.
