The following items of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended as follows:

 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of Issuer

(a) through (c)
 
Since DST System’s previous filing on Schedule 13D on December 15, 2011, DST Systems has closed on the remaining portion of its previously announced purchase of shares of Common Stock of the Fund pursuant to the Standstill Agreements, as follows:

These additional shares, together with the previously reported purchases, total 2,775,555 shares of Common Stock and represent aggregate beneficial ownership of approximately 9.2% of the Fund’s total outstanding Common Stock, based on 30,080,350 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 19, 2011, as reported in the Fund’s Schedule 14A Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Commission on August 19, 2011.  DTS Systems subsequently contributed all acquired shares to West Side, following which West Side is the beneficial owner of, and has sole power to vote or to direct the vote or sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, such shares.  Such securities may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by DST Systems by virtue of the fact that West Side is a wholly owned subsidiary of and is controlled by DST Systems.
