PROPOSAL 3

A shareholder proposal concerning "oversight procedures to screen out investments in companies that, in the judgement of the Board, substantially contribute to genocide, patterns of extraordinary and egregious violations of human rights, or crimes against humanity."

The fund did not achieve quorum with respect to this proposal, and therefore no action was taken at the meeting and subsequent adjournments. Because sufficient votes in favor of the proposal were not received, on June 18, 2008, the proxies in their discretion determined not to adjourn the meeting further on this item.

A Denotes trust-wide proposal and voting results.
