Distribution rates are not performance and are calculated by annualizing the current distribution per share announced in this press release and dividing by the net asset value ("NAV") or Market Price, as applicable, as of the reported date. The Fund's distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in realized and projected market returns, Fund performance, and other factors. There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in the Fund's distribution rate at a future time. Distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net capital gains, and/or a return of capital ("ROC") of your investment in the Fund. Because the distribution rate may include a ROC, it should not be confused with yield or income.
