·A change in the Fund's non-fundamental investment policy of investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total assets in 504 First Lien Loans, including repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities, to a non-fundamental policy of investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total assets in a portfolio of loans that are eligible for treatment as community development loans or qualified investments under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended, (the "CRA") ("Community Development Loans"), including repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Fund's investments in Community Development Loans include, but will not be limited to, 504 First Lien Loans, loans originated under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Programs, and loans issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
