the past decades and wishes him well in his retirement. In addition, Connie K. Duckworth, who served as a director of the Fund from 2002 to 2010, resigned on January&nbsp;15, 2010 in order to devote more time to the non-profit organization of which
she is the founder and Chief Executive Officer&#151;Arzu, Inc. (Arzu Studio Hope), which promotes economic independence and education among women in Afghanistan through the sale of the rugs they weave. The Fund also expresses its sincere
appreciation to Ms.&nbsp;Duckworth for her years of dedicated and faithful service. The Board, on the recommendation of its nominating and governance committee, has decided to reduce the size of the Board from twelve to ten directors following the
retirement of Mr.&nbsp;Jeffries and the resignation of Ms.&nbsp;Duckworth. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Fund&#146;s management and affairs, including the Fund&#146;s risk management function. Accordingly, while the Chief Executive Officer of the Fund will generally be a member of the Board, he or she will not normally be eligible to serve as Chairman
of the Board. The independent Chairman of the Board presides at meetings of the shareholders, meetings of the Board and meetings of independent directors. In addition, the independent Chairman of the Board takes part in the meetings and
deliberations of all committees of the Board, facilitates communication among directors and communication between the Board and Fund management and is available for consultation with Fund management between Board meetings. </FONT></P> <P

shares, divided into two classes: 250,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. If this proposal is approved, the Fund will be authorized to issue a total of 400,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 300,000,000

approval (except as may be required in particular cases by the Fund&#146;s charter documents, applicable laws or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Fund&#146;s securities may be listed). Future issuances of additional shares of common
stock would have the effect of diluting the voting rights and could have the effect of diluting earnings per share and book value per share of existing shareholders. The availability for issuance of additional shares of common stock could discourage
and make more difficult efforts to obtain control of the Fund. Other than in connection with its existing dividend reinvestment plan, the Fund has no present intention or plans to issue any shares of common stock. </FONT></P> <P

leverage during its history, including both preferred stock and debt. When the Fund first issued remarketed preferred stock in 1988, the Adviser&#146;s management fee was calculated as a percentage of the average weekly net assets of the Fund, and
&#147;average weekly net assets&#148; were defined as the total assets of the Fund, minus the sum of accrued liabilities of the Fund and accumulated dividends on the Fund&#146;s preferred stock. Based on that formula, the liquidation value of the
Fund&#146;s preferred stock was included in the &#147;average weekly net assets&#148; used to calculate the Adviser&#146;s management fee. In 1993, the Fund also began to utilize debt leverage by issuing short-term unsecured promissory notes in the
commercial paper market. Under the foregoing formula, because the commercial paper notes represented liabilities of the Fund, the proceeds of the Fund&#146;s commercial paper program were not counted in the &#147;average weekly net assets&#148; used
to calculate the Adviser&#146;s management fee. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman"

management. The Fund&#146;s portfolio is comprised of assets purchased with the proceeds of the Fund&#146;s common stock, preferred stock and commercial paper. Yet, when the management fee is
calculated under the [pre-1998] Current Advisory Agreement, a significant component of the Fund&#146;s portfolio, consisting of assets purchased with the proceeds of the Fund&#146;s commercial paper, is excluded from the net assets of the Fund. As a
result, the Adviser&#146;s compensation does not accurately reflect the full size and scope of the Fund&#146;s portfolio. The board of directors of the Fund believes that including the aggregate proceeds of the Fund&#146;s commercial paper will
yield a truer picture of the Fund&#146;s net assets and a fairer basis for calculating the Adviser&#146;s compensation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

already included the aggregate liquidation preference of the Fund&#146;s preferred stock, the replacement of commercial paper with auction preferred stock had no impact on the method of calculating the Adviser&#146;s management fee (although the
increase in the Fund&#146;s total leverage caused the actual management fee to increase). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Early in 2008 disruptions in the short-term fixed income markets resulted in failures in the periodic auctions and remarketings of the preferred stock of all closed-end funds, including the Fund&#146;s
preferred stock. Such auction and remarketing failures are not an event of default, nor have they impaired the payment of dividends to the Fund&#146;s preferred or common shareholders, but they have meant that holders of the Fund&#146;s preferred
stock are no longer able to sell their shares through the remarketing or auction process. The Board is aware that this lack of liquidity has caused a significant hardship for many holders of the Fund&#146;s preferred stock. Therefore, when it became
evident that the auction and remarketing failures were likely to persist for some time, the Board charged management with developing and evaluating potential solutions that would enable the Fund to continue to benefit from the use of leverage and
would be in the best interests of all the Fund&#146;s shareholders. After reviewing a number of options, in March 2009 the Fund established a credit facility with a commercial bank under which it may borrow up to $1 billion for the purpose of
redeeming shares of preferred stock, subject to complying with the requirements of law and the charter and fundamental investment restrictions of the Fund. Since that time, the Fund has utilized $600 million in borrowings under the credit facility
to replace $600 million of its preferred stock leverage. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Unlike the replacement of commercial paper with preferred stock in 2006, the replacement of preferred stock with borrowings under the credit facility, which began on March&nbsp;24, 2009, has had an adverse impact on the calculation of the
Adviser&#146;s management fee. The definition of &#147;average weekly net assets&#148; in the Current Advisory Agreement refers to &#147;the aggregate proceeds of commercial paper issued by the Fund,&#148; but does not specifically address
borrowings under the Fund&#146;s credit facility, since the credit facility did not exist when the Current Advisory Agreement was approved in 1998. Borrowings under a credit facility are similar in many respects to borrowings in the commercial paper
market, since both are forms of short-term borrowing, but they are not identical. The Fund&#146;s legal counsel has advised the Fund that the definition of &#147;average weekly net assets&#148; in the Current Advisory Agreement, since it refers
specifically to &#147;commercial paper,&#148; may not include borrowings under the credit facility. Because the Adviser&#146;s management fee is calculated as a percentage of &#147;average weekly net assets,&#148; the replacement of preferred stock

is fair to the Adviser or consistent with the intention of the Fund&#146;s shareholders when they approved the Current Advisory Agreement in 1998. In effect, the Adviser&#146;s management fee calculation has reverted to its pre-1998 position, when

Agreement in 1998: that the Adviser&#146;s compensation should accurately reflect the full size and scope of the Fund&#146;s portfolio. Accordingly, at the annual meeting on May&nbsp;5, 2010, shareholders are being asked to approve the Amended
Advisory Agreement, which calculates the Adviser&#146;s management fee based on a new definition of &#147;average weekly managed assets,&#148; which includes all assets attributable to financial leverage. Furthermore, in order to correct the
unintended reduction in the Adviser&#146;s management fee that occurred when the Fund began to replace preferred stock leverage with borrowings under the credit facility, the Amended Advisory Agreement provides that the revised management fee
calculation will be applied with retroactive effect from March 24, 2009, the date on which the Fund initiated borrowings under its credit facility as a form of financial leverage. This means that if the Amended Advisory Agreement is approved, the
Adviser will receive a retroactive payment for its management since March 24, 2009 of Fund assets derived from borrowings under the Fund&#146;s credit facility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

calculate the Adviser&#146;s management fee shall include all assets attributable to financial leverage. Under the Amended Advisory Agreement, the management fee would be calculated by multiplying the same annual rates used in the Current Advisory

Average Weekly Managed Assets which exceeds $1.5 billion. The aggregate amount of the management fee payable under the Current Advisory Agreement during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 was $11,827,218. Had the Amended Advisory Agreement been
in effect during 2009, the aggregate amount of the management fee would have been $13,786,636. The management fee payable under the Amended Advisory Agreement is $1,959,418 higher than the fee payable under the Current Advisory Agreement, which is
an increase of 16.6%. However, that reflects the fact that the replacement of a portion of the Fund&#146;s preferred stock leverage with credit facility borrowings during 2009 caused the Adviser&#146;s management fee to <I>decline</I> by $1,959,418,

by the Adviser. Among other materials, the Adviser furnished the committee with a copy of its most recent investment adviser registration form (Form ADV). In evaluating the quality of the Adviser&#146;s services, the committee noted the various
complexities involved in the operations of the Fund, such as the use of leverage in the form of two types of preferred stock, borrowings under a credit facility and the lending of portfolio securities, and concluded that the Adviser is consistently
providing high-quality services to the Fund in an increasingly complex environment. The committee also acknowledged the unprecedented disruption of the credit and capital markets during the recent period and the commendable skill shown by the
Adviser and its personnel in managing the Fund&#146;s portfolio in the face of such extraordinary challenges. The committee also considered the length of service of the individual professional employees of the Adviser who provide services to the
Fund and noted an almost total lack of turnover. In the committee&#146;s view, the long-term service of capable and conscientious professionals provides a significant benefit to the Fund and its shareholders. The committee also considered the
Fund&#146;s investment performance as discussed below. The committee also took into account its evaluation of the quality of the Adviser&#146;s code of ethics and compliance program. In light of the foregoing, the committee concluded that it was
generally satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

compared that performance to other funds in its peer group. In making its comparisons, the committee utilized a report from Lipper, a recognized provider of independent mutual fund analysis and information. As reported by Lipper and indicated in the
table below, the Fund&#146;s net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) total return ranked in the top quartile of all closed-end equity funds categorized by Lipper as income and preferred stock funds for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods ended

noted that the Fund&#146;s managed distribution plan provides for the Fund to distribute all available investment income to shareholders and, if sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, to distribute long-term capital gains
and/or return capital to its shareholders in order to maintain the 6.5 cent per share monthly distribution level. The table below shows the percentage of the Fund&#146;s distributions over recent time periods ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 that was

considered the reasonableness of the compensation paid to the Adviser, in both absolute and comparative terms, and also the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Fund. To facilitate this analysis, the
committee retained Lipper Fiduciary Services, an independent provider of investment company data, to furnish a report comparing the Fund&#146;s advisory fee and other expenses to the similar expenses of other comparable funds. The committee noted
that many of the other funds in the comparison group were established relatively recently, and benefited from waivers of advisory fees by their sponsors. The committee&#146;s view is that gross fees provide a more useful comparison because waivers
tend to be associated with the launch of new funds and can be expected to be of short duration. The Fund&#146;s fees, while higher than the comparison group median when waivers were included, were lower than the median when waivers were excluded.
The Adviser also furnished the committee with copies of its financial statements. In reviewing those financial statements, the committee examined the profitability of the investment advisory agreement to the Adviser and determined that the
profitability of that contract was within the range that

courts had found reasonable. The committee considered that the Adviser must be able to compensate its employees at competitive levels in order to attract and retain high-quality personnel to
provide high-quality service to the Fund. The committee concluded that the investment advisory fee was the product of arm&#146;s length bargaining and that it was fair and reasonable to the Fund. </FONT></P> <P

Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale. The committee noted the breakpoints whereby the advisory fee is reduced at higher asset levels and concluded that any economies of scale are being shared between Fund shareholders and the
Adviser in an appropriate manner. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Comparison
with other advisory contracts</I>. The committee also received comparative information from the Adviser with respect to the fees it charges to investment advisory clients other than the Fund. The committee noted that, among all accounts managed by
the Adviser, the Fund&#146;s advisory fee rate ranks slightly above the median. The advisory fee structure for the Adviser&#146;s other investment company clients ranges from 32 basis points to 50 basis points, although the committee noted that none
of those other investment company clients have strategies that include both an equity and fixed-income component, as does the Fund. The advisory fee structure for the Adviser&#146;s institutional separately managed accounts ranges from 10 basis
points for passively managed equity accounts to 85 basis points for actively managed specialized real estate securities accounts. However, the committee noted that the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund are significantly more extensive and
demanding than the services provided by the Adviser to institutional accounts. Specifically, in providing services to the Fund, the Adviser needs to: (1)&nbsp;comply with the 1940 Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other federal securities laws and New
York Stock Exchange requirements, (2)&nbsp;provide for external reporting (including quarterly and semi-annual reports to shareholders, annual audited financial statements and disclosure of proxy voting), tax compliance and reporting (which are
particularly complex for investment companies), requirements of Section&nbsp;19 of the 1940 Act relating to the source of distributions, (3)&nbsp;prepare for and attend meetings of the Board and its committees, (4)&nbsp;communicate with Board and
committee members between meetings, (5)&nbsp;communicate with a retail shareholder base consisting of thousands of investors, (6)&nbsp;manage the use of different forms of financial leverage and (7)&nbsp;respond to unanticipated issues such as the
recent problems with the preferred stock auction markets. Based on the fact that the Adviser only provides the foregoing services to its investment company clients and not to its institutional account clients, the committee concluded that
comparisons between the two fee structures would not be appropriate or meaningful. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Indirect benefits</I>. The committee considered possible sources of indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund, including brokerage and soft dollar arrangements. In this regard,
the committee noted that the Fund does not utilize affiliates of the Adviser for brokerage purposes, that the Adviser had significantly reduced the Fund&#146;s brokerage cost in recent years and that the Adviser had completely phased out the use of
third-party soft dollar arrangements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Based upon

Adviser&#146;s compensation should accurately reflect the full size and scope of the Fund&#146;s portfolio, the contracts committee recommended to the full Board that the Amended Advisory Agreement be recommended for approval by the shareholders, in

it is fair and reasonable for the Amended Advisory Agreement to apply the revised fee calculation retroactively, effective as of March&nbsp;24, 2009, which is the date on which the Fund began to replace preferred stock leverage with borrowings under

administration since March 24, 2009 of Fund assets derived from borrowings under the Fund&#146;s credit facility. See &#147;Consideration of an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement&#148; above. The aggregate amount of the fee payable
to the Administrator under the current Administration Agreement during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 was $3,115,444. Had the proposed amended Administration Agreement been in effect during 2009, the aggregate amount of the fee payable to the

this responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor&#146;s independence from the Fund. To implement these
provisions of the Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client, as well as the Audit Committee&#146;s
administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has adopted this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (this &#147;Policy&#148;), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to
which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor may be pre-approved. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The SEC&#146;s rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving services, which the SEC considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either: may be pre-approved without consideration of
specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee (&#147;general pre-approval&#148;); or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee (&#147;specific pre-approval&#148;). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two
approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require
specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. </FONT></P>

consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC&#146;s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for
reasons such as its familiarity with the Fund&#146;s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Fund&#146;s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All
such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor should necessarily be determinative. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><HR WIDTH="10%" SIZE="1" NOSHADE STYLE="color:#000000"
