The Fund is concurrently filing this letter via EDGAR as a correspondence filing.

 

Set forth below are the comments verbally provided by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) and immediately below each such comment is the response with respect thereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement.
