The Tender Offer commenced on June 12, 2017 and expired on July 11, 2017.

Based on current information, approximately 6,939,500 Shares, or approximately 51% of the Fund’s outstanding common shares, were tendered through the expiration date. This total does not include Shares tendered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery.

The purchase price of properly tendered and accepted Shares is 98% of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on July 12, 2017, the business day immediately following the day the Tender Offer expired. Payment for Shares tendered and accepted is expected to be sent to tendering shareholders on or about July 17, 2017.
