Item 1.Report to Stockholders

 

 

 

 

August 6, 2020

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to report to our shareholders on the results of The New America High Income Fund (the "Fund") for the period ended June 30, 2020. The Fund's net asset value (the "NAV") was $9.01 as of June 30th. The market price for the Fund's shares ended the period at $7.79, representing a market price discount of 13.5%. The Fund paid dividends totaling $0.26 per share from earnings during the six month period. The monthly dividend was reduced from $0.055 per share per month to $0.05 per share per month in April. Based upon the current rate, the annualized dividend yield on a share of common stock purchased at the year-end 2019 price of $9.13 was 6.6%.

During the first six months of the year, the Fund reduced the amount of its leverage in response to sharply deteriorating financial market conditions. From mid-February through mid-March, securities markets experienced significant price declines as investors reacted to the far-reaching, negative effects of the novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") pandemic on economies world-wide. As discussed more fully below by the Fund's investment adviser, prices of risky assets, including high yield bonds, collapsed as investors sought the safe havens of cash and U.S. government securities.

As of June 30th, the Fund's outstanding borrowing through its credit facility (the "Facility") with the Bank of Nova Scotia was $78 million, representing a $13 million reduction in borrowing since the end of 2019. The borrowing represented approximately 27% of the Fund's total assets. Amounts borrowed under the Facility bear interest at an adjustable rate based on a margin above the London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The interest rate on the Facility as of June 30th was 1.03%, an attractive spread relative to the portfolio's market value-weighted average current yield of 6.71% on June 30th. The Fund's leverage contributed approximately 20% of the net income earned in the period, an increase from the leverage contribution to income of approximately 15% in 2019.

We remind our shareholders that there is no certainty that the dividend will remain at the current level. The dividend can be affected by portfolio results, the cost and amount of leverage, market conditions, the extent to which the portfolio is fully invested and operating expenses, among other factors. Leverage magnifies the effect of price movements on the Fund's NAV per share. The Fund's leverage increases the Fund's total return in periods of positive high yield market performance. Of course, the opposite is true in an unfavorable high yield market, such as the first six months of this year.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return assumes the reinvestment of dividends.

The Credit Suisse High Yield Index is an unmanaged index. Unlike the Fund, the Index has no trading activity, expenses or leverage.

*  Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV or market value with all distributions reinvested. Distributions are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan. Because the Fund's shares may trade at either a discount or premium to the Fund's NAV per share, returns based upon the stock price and dividends will tend to differ from those derived from the underlying change in NAV and dividends. The variance between the Fund's total return based on stock price and dividends and the total return based on the Fund's NAV and dividends is due to the widening of the stock price discount to the NAV over the last year.

Commentary by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.
Market Review

The high yield market returned -5.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 according to the Credit Suisse High Yield Index (the "Index"). The year began on a positive note as waning trade tensions appeared ready to spur a rebound in global growth in 2020. Domestic economic signals were particularly encouraging as evidenced by nonfarm payrolls that jumped well above estimates in January and a rise in personal incomes. While reports of COVID-19 in China periodically unsettled markets throughout January and early February, the disease later took on global pandemic status with unparalleled economic impacts to world economies and completely derailed all risk assets, including high yield bonds. The sheer velocity and severity of market declines was unprecedented, particularly through mid-March, and illiquid conditions played a major role during the worst of the selloff. Energy and industries which are vulnerable to business disruptions caused by COVID-19, such as transportation, entertainment and leisure, were challenged fundamentally. As demand for cash spiraled higher, indiscriminate selling was evidenced by no dispersion of returns by credit quality; at one point, prices of B and C rated bonds were both down approximately 20%.

Longer-term U.S. Treasury yields fell to record lows during March as the continued spread of COVID-19 led to strong demand for U.S. government debt. After starting the year at 1.92%, the yield of the 10-year Treasury note, which is a benchmark for mortgages and other consumer lending rates, fell to an all-time closing low of 0.57% on March 9th and finished the period at 0.65%. As March progressed into April, investors began separating the good credits from the poor, and BB rated bonds significantly outperformed CCC rated issues by period-end.

In response to the rapid contraction in economic activity, nearly all major global central banks took firmly accommodative steps. Investors welcomed continued efforts by the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and the federal government to support the U.S. economy. In early April, the central bank promised up to $2.3 trillion in loans to smaller businesses and municipalities and announced that it would include eligible fallen angels and high yield exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") as part of its Term Asset-Backed Securities Lending Facility ("TALF") and other emergency lending programs. In mid-June, the Fed decided to augment its purchases by starting to buy a broad portfolio of U.S. corporate bonds.

Technical conditions in the high yield bond market were broadly supportive during the second quarter after primary markets came to a complete standstill in March. The asset class experienced a record inflow of $47.3 billion and received additional support from multi-sector, investment grade, and equity investors, which helped offset robust new issuance. Specifically, the volume of gross and net issuance in the second quarter reached all-time highs of $145.5 billion and $75.5 billion, respectively. The majority of the quarter's issuance was concentrated in energy and other market segments significantly impacted by the pandemic, such as gaming and automotive.

Yield spreads of the Index compared to U.S. Treasuries had widened by over 1,000 basis points from the end of 2019 when they peaked on March 23rd at 1,417 basis points. Index spreads ended the period at 711 basis points, still roughly 300 basis points wider than at year-end, with a yield-to-worst of 7.45%. These levels compare with the long-term averages of approximately 607 basis points and 8.70%, respectively. The J.P. Morgan par-weighted default rate tracked higher, ending the period at 6.19%—an increase from 2.63% at the end of 2019 and the highest level since March 2010. For the last twelve months, the energy sector accounted for 46% of default volume, affecting $40.7 billion of outstanding debt.

Strategy Review

Macroeconomic uncertainty and significant volatility following the emergence of COVID-19 created a challenging performance environment and caused risk assets to retrace the solid gains generated in 2019 and early this year. However, unprecedented stimulus measures, growing optimism around therapeutic treatments for the disease, and the gradual reopening of economies helped financial markets rebound into the end of our reporting period. Our risk-aware and defensive positioning aided the Fund's relative performance compared to the Index in April as the high yield market rebounded from March volatility. This recovery was led by issuers and sectors that exhibited strong fundamentals, such as higher-quality credits and defensive sectors within the high yield bond universe like cable operators and utilities. In contrast, the impressive gains in May and June were led by the high yield market's more speculative credits, many of which recovered from severely stressed levels after having sold off in March due to their exposure to COVID-19 or commodity prices. Therefore, the portfolio's defensive and higher-quality positioning was a headwind to relative performance late in the period as lower-quality and more speculative credits drove performance.

Issuers in cable operators and wireless communications, which are generally considered defensive market segments, were among the Fund's top performers for the 6-month period. Netflix, the world's largest internet entertainment service, is one of the rare companies that benefited cyclically from the lockdown, as its subscriber base increased dramatically, essentially pulling forward future subscriptions. An enduring challenge for Netflix is that the creation of new content has been a drain on free cash flow. However, the global health crisis stalled the film production industry, which helped the company's free cash flow approach the break-even level. Additionally, the larger subscriber base means that Netflix will earn more revenue while spending less on content creation. These are meaningful credit-positive developments because the company's path toward an investment-grade rating is largely dependent on its business generating positive free cash flow.

European cable and mobile services provider Altice Europe N.V. was another notable contributor in the cable operators space. The company's subscription business model fosters customer loyalty, its credit fundamentals are improving, and management has made operational adjustments that have led to favorable outcomes. For instance, subscriber metrics in France—where the company's regional performance had historically lagged—showed significant improvement over the past year.

Credit selection in energy was a top contributor to relative performance. Within the industry, we generally avoided distressed names in favor of issuers with larger asset bases and more durable business models. Additionally, we maintain an overweight to large, diversified, and well-capitalized midstream companies that tend to have contractual-based revenue models and to high-quality exploration and production ("E&P") names.

Credit selection in the entertainment and leisure space weighed on relative results, partly due to AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("AMC"), the world's largest movie theater chain. Its business was secularly challenged before the coronavirus outbreak as attendance has slowly declined over the last several years. The company was overleveraged, and the pandemic significantly disrupted its operations due to the mandated shutdown of crowded public venues including movie theaters. While we were underweight in the entertainment and leisure segment versus the benchmark, our higher relative weight in AMC was a drag on performance.

In the broadcasting segment, iHeartMedia, Inc. ("iHeart"), a leading global media and entertainment company that emerged from bankruptcy in May 2019, detracted from performance. We were a member of the bondholder

group leading up to, and throughout, iHeart's recent restructuring process. Upon iHeart's exit from bankruptcy, the Fund received a package of securities across the new capital structure, and the portfolio's overweight position traded lower amid broad market weakness.

Outlook

History tells us that, at today's yield spread levels, forward returns have typically been rewarding for high yield investors. Robust positive flows to the asset class have provided technical support, buoyed secondary market prices, and created strong interest in new issues. The higher-quality portions of the high yield market have recovered quickly, and spreads have nearly returned to pre-virus levels. However, the recovery has yet to gain traction market wide, and spreads remain elevated in some segments, such as low-quality energy, where we believe there may be increased default activity.

As the fallout from COVID-19 and the impact of business disruptions begin to be reflected in corporate earnings, there could be another round of volatility, which could provide further opportunities to invest at attractive prices. We believe potential gains that can be captured on a yield spread basis still exist, although overall uncertainty in the economic environment and the trajectory of the global health crisis throughout the rest of the year and beyond remain important considerations.

As always, we aim to deliver high current income while seeking to contain the volatility inherent in this market. Our team maintains a commitment to credit research and risk-conscious investing that has led to favorable returns for our high yield clients over various market cycles.

Sincerely,

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

(1) Significant Accounting and Other Policies

The New America High Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was organized as a corporation in the state of Maryland on November 19, 1987 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a diversified, closed-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services Investment Companies". The Fund commenced operations on February 26, 1988. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide high current income while seeking to preserve stockholders' capital through investment in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of "high yield" fixed-income securities.

The Fund invests primarily in fixed maturity corporate debt securities that are rated less than investment grade. Risk of loss upon default by the issuer is significantly greater with respect to such securities compared to investment grade securities because these securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer and because these issuers usually have high levels of indebtedness and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as a recession, than are investment grade issuers. In some cases, the collection of principal and timely receipt of interest is dependent upon the issuer attaining improved operating results, selling assets or obtaining additional financing.

The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a Fund that is more diversified. See the schedule of investments for information on individual securities as well as industry diversification and credit quality ratings.

The Fund's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for investment companies that require the management of the Fund to, among other things, make estimates and assumptions that affect the

reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund, which are in conformity with those generally accepted in the investment company industry.

(a)  Valuation of Investments—Except as otherwise described below, the Fund's investments are valued based on evaluated bid prices provided by an independent pricing service. Independent pricing services provide prices based primarily on quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, data accessed from quotations services, offering sheets obtained from dealers and various relationships among similar securities. Investments whose primary market is on an exchange are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Short-term investments with original maturities of 60 days or less are stated at amortized cost, which approximates the fair value of such investments. Following procedures approved by the Board of Directors, investments for which market prices are not yet provided by an independent pricing service (primarily newly issued fixed-income corporate bonds and notes) shall be valued at the most recently quoted bid price provided by a principal market maker for the security. Other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued in good faith at fair value using methods approved by the Board of Directors. Fair value measurement is further discussed in section (f) of this footnote.

(b)  Foreign Currency—Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U. S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.


26



The New America High Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transaction, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(c)  Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts—The Fund may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed upon price on an agreed future date. The Fund's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the statement of assets and liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the statement of operations. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk or both kinds of risks, in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates.

(d)  Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income—Securities transactions are recorded on trade

date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis. Discount on short-term investments is amortized to investment income. Premiums or discounts on corporate debt securities are amortized based on the interest method for financial reporting purposes. All income on original issue discount and step interest bonds is accrued based on the effective interest method. The Fund does not amortize market premiums or discounts for tax purposes. Dividend payments received in the form of additional securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date.

(e)  Federal Income Taxes—It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders each year. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.

(f)  Fair Value Measurement—The Fund applies ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". This standard establishes the definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.


27



The New America High Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund's major asset and liability categories is as follows.

Debt securities (corporate, U.S. Treasury, convertible & bank debt). The fair value of debt securities is provided by independent pricing services using quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, data from quotations services, offering sheets and various relationships between securities. While most corporate bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, there may be instances where less observable inputs necessitate a level 3 categorization.

Equity securities (preferred and common stock). Equity securities for which the primary market is on an exchange will be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded in inactive markets or valued by independent pricing services using methods similar to debt securities are categorized in level 2. The fair value of equity securities in which observable inputs are unavailable are categorized in level 3.

Short-term investments. Short-term investments are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely the values would be categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Forwards are valued at the unrealized gain or loss on the contract as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the date of entry into the contract and the forward rates at the reporting date. Forwards are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Level 1 and Level 2 assets are evaluated on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

(2) Tax Matters and Distributions

At June 30, 2020, the total cost of securities (including temporary cash investments) for federal income tax purposes was approximately $288,305,000. Aggregate gross unrealized gain on securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was approximately $5,910,000. Aggregate gross unrealized loss on securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was approximately $9,452,000. Net unrealized loss on investments for tax purposes at June 30, 2020 was approximately $3,542,000.

At December 31, 2019, the Fund had approximate capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations:

None

 
 

9,101,000

   

Long-term

 

None

 

$

13,929,000

               

As a result of the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), losses incurred in the 2011 fiscal year and beyond retain their character as short-term or long-term, have no expiration date and are utilized before the capital losses incurred prior to the enactment of the Act. At December 31, 2019, the Fund had total non-expiring capital loss carryforwards of $13,929,000.

It is the policy of the Fund to reduce future distributions of realized gains to shareholders to the extent of the unexpired capital loss carryforwards.

The tax character of distributions paid to common shareholders in 2019 and 2018 of approximately $15,419,000 and $16,430,000, respectively, was from ordinary income.

As of December 31, 2019, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were approximately:

Unrealized Gain on Investments

 

$

9,201,000

   

Capital Loss Carryforwards

   

(13,929,000

(1,113,000

)

 

Undistributed Net Investment Income

   

83,000

   
   

$

(5,758,000

)

 

The difference between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and amounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals ("GAAP") are primarily due to market discount and premium adjustments, wash sales, and the recognition of unrealized gain on currency forward contracts. GAAP also requires components related to permanent differences of net assets to be classified differently for financial reporting purposes than for tax reporting purposes. These differences have no net effect on the net asset value of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund recorded a reclassification entry for $1,000 from capital in excess of par value to net accumulated realized losses to reflect the effect of a permanent difference between book and tax accounting. This reclassification has no impact on the net assets of the Fund.

As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had $1,113,000 of post-October losses which are deferred until fiscal year 2020 for tax purposes. The other accumulated losses incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year. Distributions on common stock are declared based upon annual projections of the Fund's investment company taxable income. The Fund records all dividends and distributions payable to shareholders on

the ex-dividend date and declares and distributes income dividends monthly.

The Fund is required to amortize market discounts and premiums for financial reporting purposes. This results in additional interest income in some years and decreased interest income in others for financial reporting purposes only. The Fund does not amortize market discounts or premiums for tax purposes. Therefore, the additional or decreased interest income for financial reporting purposes does not result in additional or decreased common stock dividend income.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2016-2018, or expected to be taken in the Fund's 2019 tax returns. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

(3) Investment Advisory Agreement

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price), the Fund's Investment Advisor, earned approximately $514,000 in management fees during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Management fees paid by the Fund to T. Rowe Price were calculated at 0.50% on the first $50,000,000 of the Fund's average weekly net assets, 0.40% on the next $50 million and 0.30% on average weekly net assets in excess of $100 million. T. Rowe Price's fee is calculated based on assets attributable to the Fund's common stock and senior securities. At June 30, 2020, the fee payable to T. Rowe Price was approximately $84,000, which was

included in accrued expenses on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities.

(4) Bank Credit Agreement

The Fund has a credit agreement with The Bank of Nova Scotia pursuant to which the Fund may borrow up to an aggregate amount of $100,000,000. On June 30, 2020 the total amount outstanding on the loan was $78,000,000. The term of the facility has been extended to October 2020. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at an adjustable rate based on a margin above LIBOR. The rate paid on these borrowings is approximately 1.03% and will be in effect until July 31, 2020 at which time the rate will be reset. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 the weighted average rate on the loan was approximately 2.01% and the maximum amount borrowed during the period was $91,000,000.

The Fund pays a commitment fee to The Bank of Nova Scotia at a rate of .15% per annum for any unused portion of borrowings not to exceed $100,000,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 the Fund paid approximately $13,000 for this commitment.

The Fund has granted to The Bank of Nova Scotia a security interest in the investments and other assets of the Fund in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

(5) Purchases and Sales of Securities

Purchases and proceeds of sales or maturities of long-term securities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were approximately:

(8) New Accounting Pronouncement Adopted

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2018-13 will require the need to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and the changes in unrealized gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will also require that information is provided about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. The Fund has adopted ASU 2018-13 and has revised fair value measurement disclosures within these financial statements in accordance with the standard.

(9) Subsequent Events

The Fund has evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no adjustments were required to the financial statements as of June 30, 2020.

Availability of Portfolio Holdings

The Fund provides a complete schedule of its portfolio holdings quarterly. The lists of holdings as of the end of the second and fourth quarters appear in the Fund's semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders, respectively. The schedules of portfolio holdings as of the end of the first and third quarters are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form NPORT-P (the "Forms") within 60 days of the end of the first and third quarters. Shareholders can look up the Forms on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. The Forms may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. You may call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information about the SEC's web site and their public reference room.

Compliance with CFTC Regulation of Transactions in Commodity Interests

The Fund does not currently intend to engage in transactions in commodity interests such as futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and swaps. However, the Fund may in the future enter into interest rate transactions, such as swaps, caps, collars and floors for the purpose or with the effect of hedging its portfolio and/or its payment obligations with respect to senior securities. In addition, the Fund has reserved the right, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, to purchase and sell financial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts for the purpose of hedging its portfolio securities (or portfolio securities which it expects to acquire) against anticipated changes in prevailing interest rates. To the extent it engages in transactions in commodity interests, the Fund expects their use to be limited such that the Fund may claim the exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" available under Regulation 4.5 of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission under the Commodity Exchange Act, and will not therefor be subject to regulation as a pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.

Common Stock Transactions

The Fund may purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market when the Common Stock trades at a discount to net asset value or at other times if the Fund determines such purchases are advisable. There can be no assurance that the Fund will take such action in the event of a market discount to net asset value or that Fund purchases will reduce a discount.
