A total of 31,347,230.632 shares, or 23.37% of the Fund’s common shares outstanding (134,144,158) and 33.38% of the available shares for tender (93,900,910), were properly tendered and not withdrawn by December 7, 2021, the expiration date for the tender offer and the final date for withdrawals. In accordance with the terms of the tender offer, the Fund has accepted for purchase all shares properly tendered by all tendering shareholders. The purchase price for tendered shares is $5.43 per share. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for this tender offer, has received the aggregate proceeds for all accepted shares and is currently in the process of distributing the funds to individual shareholders.

The offer to purchase and other documents filed by the Fund with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the Fund’s annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, are available without cost at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by calling 800-342-5236.

The Fund is a non-diversified closed-end fund. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek to provide high, current income, with a secondary goal of capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in income-producing securities, including debt securities of U.S. and foreign issuers, including emerging markets.

The Fund has implemented a managed distribution policy whereby the Fund will make monthly distributions to common shareholders at an annual minimum fixed rate of 7.5 percent, based on the average monthly NAV of the Fund’s common shares. Under the policy, the Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from net investment income and short-term capital gains. The balance of the distribution will then come from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted and, if necessary, a return of capital.
