·

·

Elimination of Prohibition on Investing in Obligations with Interest Subject to Alternative Minimum Tax: The Fund’s restriction on investing in obligations the income of which is subject to federal alternative minimum tax will be eliminated; prospectively, the Fund expects up to 25% of its annual distributions to be subject to AMT; and

·

Elimination of Limit on Portfolio Duration: The Fund’s policy of maintaining a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration of between three and nine years will be eliminated.
