Why are the boards of Trustees recommending that shareholders approve the Merger Agreement?

The Trustees of each Fund, including a majority of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, carefully considered the anticipated benefits and costs of the proposed Merger and approved the Merger at a meeting held on September 24, 2013. In approving the Merger, the Trustees of each Fund determined that the Fund’s participation in the proposed Merger would be in the best interests of the Fund and that the interests of the Fund’s shareholders would not be diluted as a result of the Merger. The Trustees of each Fund considered that the proposed Merger is expected to offer shareholders of the Funds the following advantages:

1) a larger asset base and potentially increased earnings;

2) equivalent or lower expenses;

3) improved secondary market trading;

4) continuity of Fund management; and

5) a Merger that is intended to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

More information about each of these considerations is available in the Joint Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

Will advisory fees change as a result of the proposed Merger?

No. The annual contractual advisory fee rate payable by AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund currently and after the Merger (1.00% of average daily total managed assets) is the same as the annual contractual advisory fee rate payable by AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund (1.00% of average daily total managed assets).

Will expenses increase as a result of the proposed Merger?

Shareholders of both Funds are expected to benefit from economies of scale resulting from a larger combined fund with a lower estimated total annual fund operating expense ratio than AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund’s current total annual fund operating expense ratio and equal to or slightly less than AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund’s current total annual fund operating expense ratio.

Will the people who handle the day-to-day management of the Funds change as a result of the proposed Merger?

The Merger would allow shareholders of AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund to continue investing in a fund advised by Allianz Global Investors Fund Management and sub-advised by Allianz Global Investors U.S. Allianz Global Investors U.S. is responsible for making day-to-day investment decisions for AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund as well as AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund. In addition, the portfolio managers of AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund currently serve as portfolio managers of AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund.

Will the investment objectives and strategies of the Funds change as a result of the proposed Merger?

The investment objectives of the Funds are identical and the investment strategies of the Funds are substantially similar, though not identical. The principal difference between the strategies of the two Funds is that AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund ordinarily invests principally in U.S. issuers, while AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund normally invests at least 40% of its assets in non-U.S. securities. In the event the Merger is consummated, shareholders of the combined fund, including former shareholders of AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund, would be subject to the investment policies of AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund.

Is the Merger intended to be a tax-free event for U.S. federal income tax purposes?

The Merger is intended to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Provided that the Merger is tax-free, no gain or loss will be recognized by AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund shareholders on the distribution to them of shares of AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund, and the aggregate tax basis of AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund shares received by an AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund shareholder will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of his or her AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund shares.
