Managed Distribution Plan (“MDP”)

On June 8, 2020, the Fund announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) decided to temporarily suspend the Fund´s MDP. Global financial markets and overall economic activity have been severely affected by the “Covid-19” pandemic. Under this scenario of high uncertainty, the Board considered that it is in the best interest of Fund stockholders to temporarily suspend the Fund´s MDP in order to preserve capital. Nevertheless, the Board will continue to review the Fund´s MDP regularly in order to reinstate it as soon as deemed advisable by the Board. In addition, the Fund will continue to distribute to shareholders all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually, even while the Fund´s MDP remains suspended. The Fund’s Board of Directors may amend or terminate the MDP at any time without prior notice to stockholders. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of distributions or from the terms of the Fund’s MDP.
