that if there is a net decrease in the value of the Fund&#8217;s investment portfolio,
the use of leverage will likely cause a greater decrease in the net asset value
per common share and the market value per common share than if the Fund were not

December 31, 2009, the total amount of leverage constituted approximately 37% of
the Fund&#8217;s total assets. The use of leverage has provided holders of common
stock with a higher dividend than such holders would have otherwise received.
However, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to continue to
realize such a higher net return on its investment portfolio. Changes in certain
factors could cause the relationship between the dividends paid on the preferred
stock and interest paid on the Fund&#8217;s indebtedness to increase relative to the
dividend and interest rates on the portfolio securities in which the Fund may be
invested. Under such conditions the benefit of leverage to holders of common
stock will be reduced and the Fund&#8217;s leveraged capital structure could result in
a lower rate of return to holders of common stock than if the Fund were not
leveraged. The 1940 Act generally requires the Fund to maintain an asset
coverage of 200% on its outstanding preferred stock and 300% on its outstanding
indebtedness. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;), the Fund is permitted, until October 31, 2010, to
maintain an asset coverage of 200% on any indebtedness incurred after September
22, 2009 to redeem preferred stock. Because the Fund&#8217;s currently outstanding
indebtedness was incurred prior to September 22, 2009, it does not qualify for
that exemptive relief. If the Fund&#8217;s asset coverage declines below the required
levels (as a result of market fluctuations or otherwise), the Fund may be
required to sell a portion of its investments at a time when it may be
disadvantageous to do so.</font></div>

Fund&#8217;s Use of Leverage</font>.&#160;&#160;The dividend rate for the Fund&#8217;s
preferred stock is normally set through a periodic auction or remarketing

purchase all of the shares that current holders wish to sell in an auction, and
a remarketing fails when the remarketing agent is unable to set a dividend rate
that will clear the market of all of the shares that current holders wish to
sell in a remarketing. A failed auction or remarketing means that the current
holders retain their shares until the next periodic auction or remarketing, and
the dividend rate for the next dividend period is automatically set to the
maximum dividend rate permitted by the Fund&#8217;s charter.</font></div>

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 preferred stock of the Fund. The lack of liquidity
resulting from the persistence of such auction and remarketing failures has
caused a significant hardship for many holders of the Fund&#8217;s preferred stock.
Additionally, the Adviser and the board of directors have concluded that the
preferred stock auction process may not provide liquidity for an extended period
of time, if ever, with the result that the Fund may be required to pay the
maximum dividend rates applicable to its preferred stock for an extended period
of time. This will make the costs of financing the Fund&#8217;s leverage higher than
they would have been if those costs had been determined through a successful
auction or remarketing process, with the result that the income that holders of
common stock receive will be been marginally lower than the income they would
have received in the absence of the auction and remarketing
failures.</font></div>

February 2008 board of directors meeting, the Fund&#8217;s directors charged
management with developing and evaluating potential solutions that would
maintain the benefits from leverage and be in the best interests of all the
Fund&#8217;s shareholders. After reviewing options for resolving preferred share
illiquidity, in March 2009 the Fund&#8217;s management arranged a $1 billion credit
facility (the &#8220;Credit Facility&#8221;) with a commercial bank (the &#8220;Bank&#8221;).
Subsequently, the Fund utilized the Credit Facility to redeem $200 million of
remarketed preferred stock and $300 million of auction preferred stock. Earlier
in the year, the Fund had redeemed $100 million of remarketed preferred stock
with cash on hand, and, following the establishment of the Credit Facility,
replaced $100 million of that amount with debt during the second quarter of
2009. The Fund&#8217;s current leverage structure is the result of those
actions.</font></div>

Fund&#8217;s management is continuing to pursue the goal of ultimately redeeming the
preferred stock that remains outstanding in a manner consistent with the
interests of all shareholders. The Fund is currently limited in its ability to
use debt to refinance all of its outstanding preferred stock because of the
asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act. In September 2009, the Fund
received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Fund, for a
transitional period ending on October 31, 2010, to maintain 200% asset coverage
with respect to any debt leverage incurred after September 22, 2009 used to
refinance preferred stock, rather than the 300% that is normally required by the
1940 Act. The relief provided by the exemptive order does not apply to the $600
million of debt incurred by the Fund prior to September 22, 2009 to redeem
preferred stock.</font></div>

is also limited in its ability to redeem additional preferred stock by
guidelines established by the rating agencies as a condition of maintaining the
AAA rating of the preferred stock. When the Fund arranged for the $1 billion
credit facility, one of the principal rating agencies granted approval for the
Fund to utilize the full $1 billion to redeem its preferred stock, while the
other rating agency granted approval for up to 60% of the Fund&#8217;s leverage to be
in the form of debt. We have approached that rating agency requesting
flexibility to redeem additional preferred stock beyond the 60% but cannot be
certain whether or when such approval will be granted. Accordingly, the exact
timing of any share redemptions is uncertain, and it is unlikely that all of the
Fund&#8217;s outstanding preferred stock will be retired in the near
future.</font></div>

of debt leverage entails certain risks. In obtaining debt financing to replace
its preferred stock leverage, the Fund may incur additional expenses which may
decrease its earnings or it may become subject to covenants and other
contractual provisions that restrict its operations. In addition, the rights of
lenders in those borrowing transactions are senior to the rights of holders of
the Fund&#8217;s stock. Moreover, the Fund&#8217;s preferred stock represents a permanent
form of leverage, whereas the Fund&#8217;s $1 billion Credit Facility can be
terminated by the bank upon 180 days&#8217; notice. There can be no assurance that the
Fund would be able to replace the Credit Facility with another form of leverage
if the bank were to give a 180-day notice of termination. Furthermore, future
changes in the credit markets could cause the interest rate payable on the
Credit Facility to increase relative to the dividend and interest rates the Fund
earns on its portfolio securities, which could reduce or even eliminate the
benefits of leverage to the Fund. Finally, the Fund is required to maintain an
asset coverage of 300% on any outstanding indebtedness, instead of the asset
coverage of 200% that it is required to maintain on its preferred stock. As
noted above, the exemptive order permitting the Fund to maintain an asset
coverage of 200% on indebtedness incurred to refinance preferred stock does not
apply to the $600 million of debt incurred by the Fund prior to September 22,
2009, and to the extent the Fund incurs new indebtedness that would qualify for
the exemptive relief, such relief is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2010. If
the Fund were unable to renew or replace a maturing Credit Facility or were
unable to maintain the required asset coverage on its outstanding indebtedness,
it could be required to deleverage and sell a portion of its investments at a
time when it might be disadvantageous to do so.</font></div>

and other investors than would be the case if the Fund&#8217;s investments were
restricted to securities of U.S. issuers. Moreover, it may be more difficult to
obtain a judgment in a court outside the United States. Interest and dividends
paid on securities held by the Fund and gains from the disposition of such
securities may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by foreign
countries.</font></div>

The Fund has substantial exposure to common stocks. Although common stocks have
historically generated higher average returns than fixed-income securities over
the long-term, common stocks also have experienced significantly more volatility
in returns. An adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may
depress the value of a particular common stock held by the Fund. Also, the price
of common stocks are sensitive to general movements in the stock market and a
drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks to which the
Fund has exposure. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including
changes in investors&#8217; perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the
general condition of the relevant stock market, or when political or economic
events affecting the issuer occur. In addition, common stock prices may be
sensitive to rising interest rates, as the costs of capital rise and borrowing
costs increase.</font></div>

Risk</font>. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization. The
Fund&#8217;s investments in small and medium-sized companies may be subject to more
abrupt or erratic movements in price than its investments in larger, more
established companies because the securities of such companies are less
well-known, held primarily by insiders or institutional investors or may trade
less frequently and in lower volume. Furthermore, small and medium-sized
companies are more likely to experience greater or more unexpected changes in
their earnings and growth prospects. Such companies often have limited financial
resources or may depend on a few key employees, and the products or technologies
of such companies may be at a relatively early stage of development or not fully
tested.</font></div>

The Fund may invest in, and thus may have exposure to, preferred stocks.
Preferred stocks involve credit risk, which is the risk that a preferred stock
will decline in price, or fail to pay dividends when expected, because the
issuer experiences a decline in its financial status. In addition to credit
risk, investment in preferred stocks involves certain other risks. Certain
preferred stocks contain provisions that allow an issuer under certain
conditions to skip distributions (in the case of &#8220;non-cumulative&#8221; preferred
stocks) or defer distributions (in the case of &#8220;cumulative&#8221; preferred stocks).
If the Fund owns a preferred stock that is deferring its distributions, the Fund
may be required to report income for tax purposes while it is not receiving
income on this position. Preferred stocks often contain provisions that allow
for redemption in the event of certain tax or legal changes or at the issuers&#8217;
call. In the event of redemption, the Fund may not be able to reinvest the
proceeds at comparable rates of return. Preferred stocks typically do not
provide any voting rights, except in cases when dividends are in arrears beyond
a certain time period, which varies by issue. Preferred stocks are subordinated
to bonds and other debt instruments in a company&#8217;s capital structure in terms of
priority to corporate income and liquidation payments, and therefore are subject
to greater credit risk than those debt instruments. Preferred stocks may be
significantly less liquid than many other securities, such as U.S. government
securities, corporate debt or common stock.</font></div>

risk is the risk that an issuer of a preferred or debt security will become
unable to meet its obligation to make dividend, interest and principal payments.
In general, lower rated preferred or debt securities carry a greater degree of
credit risk. If rating agencies lower their ratings of preferred or debt
securities in the Fund&#8217;s portfolio, the value of those obligations could
decline, which could jeopardize the rating agencies&#8217; ratings of the preferred
stock issued by the Fund. In addition, the underlying revenue source for a
preferred or debt security may be insufficient to pay dividends, interest or
principal in a timely manner. Because a primary source of income for the Fund is
the dividend, interest and principal payments on the preferred or debt
securities in which it invests, any default by an issuer of a preferred or debt
security could have a negative impact on the Fund&#8217;s ability to pay dividends to
its investors. Even if the issuer does not actually default, adverse changes in
the issuer&#8217;s financial condition may negatively affect its credit rating or
presumed creditworthiness. These developments would adversely affect the market
value of the issuer&#8217;s obligations or the value of credit derivatives if the Fund
has sold credit protection.</font></div>

will expose the Fund to risks. Such investment techniques may include entering
into interest rate and stock index futures contracts and options on interest
rate and stock index futures contracts, purchasing and selling put and call
options on securities and stock indices, purchasing and selling securities on a
when-issued or delayed delivery basis and lending portfolio securities. The Fund
intends to comply with regulations of the SEC involving &#8220;covering&#8221; or
segregating assets in connection with the Fund&#8217;s use of options and futures
contracts.</font></div>

economic costs of hedging reflected in the pricing of futures, swaps, options
and contracts related to options on positions in interest rate swaps which can
be significant, particularly when long-term interest rates are substantially
above short-term interest rates. There may be an imperfect correlation between
changes in the value of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio holdings and hedging positions
entered into by the Fund, which may prevent the Fund from achieving the intended
hedge or expose the Fund to risk of loss. In addition, the Fund&#8217;s success in
using hedge instruments is subject to the Adviser&#8217;s ability to predict correctly
changes in the relationships of such hedge instruments to the Fund&#8217;s portfolio
holdings, and there can be no assurance that the Adviser&#8217;s judgment in this
respect will be accurate. Consequently, the use of hedging transactions might
result in a poorer overall performance for the Fund, whether or not adjusted for
risk, than if the Fund had not hedged its portfolio holdings.</font></div>

the extent the Fund enters into derivatives transactions (such as futures
contracts and options thereon, options and swaps), the Fund will be subject to
increased risk of principal loss due to imperfect correlation or unexpected
price or interest rate movements. The Fund also will be subject to credit risk
with respect to the counterparties to the derivatives contracts purchased by the
Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its
obligations under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, the Fund
may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the derivative
contract in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain
only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. As a
general matter, dividends received on hedged stock positions are characterized
as ordinary income and are not eligible for favorable tax treatment. In
addition, use of derivatives may give rise to short-term capital gains and other
income that would not qualify for payments by the Fund of qualified
dividends.</font></div>

Risk</font>. The Fund may seek to increase its dividend income using a strategy
called &#8220;dividend capture.&#8221; In a dividend capture trade, the Fund purchases stock
of a particular issuer on or prior to the ex-dividend date for that stock.
Because the Fund is the holder of the stock on the ex-dividend date, it is
entitled to receive the dividend on the stock. After the ex-dividend date, the
Fund seeks an opportunity to sell the stock and reinvest the proceeds in the
stock of a different issuer on or prior to that stock&#8217;s ex-dividend date. The
use of dividend capture strategies exposes the Fund to increased trading costs
and the potential for capital loss. Since 2004, the Fund has not made
significant use of dividend captures but may decide to do so in the
future.</font></div>

turnover rate will not exceed 100% (excluding turnover of securities having a
maturity of one year or less) under normal market conditions, although it could
be materially higher under certain conditions. A high turnover rate (100% or
more) necessarily involves greater expenses to the Fund and may result in

Inflation risk is the risk that the purchasing power of assets or income from
investment will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of
money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund&#8217;s preferred stock and

periods of rising inflation, dividend rates of preferred stock issued by the
Fund would likely increase, which would tend to further reduce returns to the

assurance that any portion of the Fund&#8217;s income distributions will not be fully

terms of an investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the
&#8220;Advisory Agreement&#8221;), the Adviser receives from the Fund a quarterly fee at an
annual rate of .60% of the average weekly net asset value of the Fund up to $1.5
billion and .50% of average weekly net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. The net
assets for each weekly period are determined by averaging the net assets at the
end of a week with the net assets at the end of the prior week. For purposes of
the foregoing calculation, &#8220;net assets&#8221; are defined as the sum of (i) the
aggregate net asset value of the Fund&#8217;s common stock, (ii) the aggregate
liquidation preference of the Fund&#8217;s preferred stock and (iii) the aggregate
proceeds to the Fund of any commercial paper issued by the Fund. A discussion
regarding the basis for the board of directors&#8217; approving the Advisory Agreement
is available in the Fund&#8217;s Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 as filed with the SEC on Form N-CSR on August 21, 2009 (No.

Advisory Agreement was most recently amended in 1998 to include commercial paper
in the definition of &#8220;net assets&#8221;, with the stated goal of basing the fee on the
full size and scope of the portfolio that the Adviser manages. During 2006 the
Fund issued auction preferred stock and used the proceeds to terminate its
commercial paper borrowing. During 2009 the Fund utilized borrowings under the
Credit Facility as a partial replacement for its preferred stock. See Item 8.3,
&#8220;Risks Associated with the Fund&#8217;s Use of Leverage.&#8221; To be consistent with the
Fund&#8217;s previously stated goal of basing the calculation of the Fund&#8217;s investment
advisory fee and administration fee on the full size and scope of the portfolio
that the Adviser manages, the Fund&#8217;s board of directors has recommended that the
Fund&#8217;s shareholders approve, at the 2010 annual meeting, a further amendment to
the Advisory Agreement to include all borrowings that are utilized to provide
financial leverage in the definition of &#8220;net assets&#8221;, with retroactive effect
from March 24, 2009, the date the Fund began borrowing under the Credit
Facility.</font></div>

Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund will distribute all available investment
income to shareholders, consistent with the Fund&#8217;s primary investment objective.
If and when sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis,
the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return capital to its
shareholders. Whenever any portion of any Fund distribution is derived from a
source other than net investment income, Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act and Rule
19a-1 thereunder require the Fund to furnish shareholders with a written
statement disclosing what portion of the payment per share is derived from net
investment income, net short-term capital gains, net long-term capital gains and

dividends, as defined in section 852(b)(3)(C) of the IRC (&#8220;distributions&#8221;), that
a fund may make with respect to any one taxable year to one, plus a supplemental
&#8220;clean up&#8221; distribution made pursuant to section 855 of the IRC not exceeding
10% of the total amount distributed for the year, plus one additional capital
gain dividend made in whole or in part to avoid the excise tax under section

that have adopted a Managed Distribution Plan often seek exemptive relief from
the SEC, permitting them to distribute long-term capital gains more than once a
year. On August 26, 2008, the SEC granted the Fund&#8217;s request for an order under
Section 6(a) of the 1940 Act, exempting the Fund from Section 19(b) of the 1940
Act and Rule 19b-1 thereunder and permitting the Fund to make periodic
distributions of long-term capital gains with respect to its outstanding common
stock as frequently as twelve times each year, and as frequently as
distributions are specified by or in accordance with the terms of any
outstanding preferred stock that the Fund may issue. Even though the Fund has
received this exemptive relief from the SEC, a return of capital could occur if
the Fund were to distribute more than the aggregate of its income and net
realized capital gains.</font></div>

of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund&#8217;s investment
performance and should not be confused with &#8220;yield&#8221; or &#8220;income&#8221;. Rather, a
return of capital distribution represents a reduction of a shareholder&#8217;s
principal investment in the Fund. To the extent that the Fund uses capital gains
and/or returns of capital to supplement its investment income, shareholders
should not draw any conclusions about the Fund&#8217;s investment performance from the

characterization of the Fund&#8217;s distributions in statements furnished pursuant to
Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act and Rule 19a-1 thereunder based on U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles and may differ from the treatment of those
distributions for tax purposes. The determination of the character of all Fund
distributions for tax purposes (specifying which portion is ordinary income,
qualifying dividend income, short-or long-term capital gains, or return of
capital) is made each year-end and is reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV.
Return of capital is not taxable to shareholders in the year it is paid. Rather,
shareholders are required to reduce the cost basis of their shares by the amount
of the return of capital so that, when the shares are ultimately sold, they will
have properly accounted for the return of capital. Such an adjustment may cause
a shareholder&#8217;s gain to be greater, or loss to be smaller, depending on the
sales proceeds received.</font></div>

of directors of the Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the Managed
Distribution Plan without prior notice to shareholders if it deems such action
to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. For example, the
board of directors might take such action if the Managed Distribution Plan had
the effect of shrinking the Fund&#8217;s assets to a level that was determined to be
detrimental to Fund shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Managed
Distribution Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the
Fund&#8217;s stock is trading at or above net asset value) or widening an existing
trading discount.</font></div>

shareholders may participate in the plan. The plan permits a nominee, other than
a depository, to participate on behalf of those beneficial owners for whom it is
holding shares who elect to participate. However, some nominees may not permit a
beneficial owner to participate without transferring the shares into the owner&#8217;s
name. Shareholders who do not elect to participate in the plan will receive all
distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the shareholder (or, if
the shareholder&#8217;s shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such
shareholder&#8217;s nominee) by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services as dividend disbursing
agent. Registered shareholders may also elect to have cash dividends deposited

after receipt of the funds for additional purchases, and may be aggregated with
purchases of shares for reinvestment of the distribution. Shares will be
allocated to the accounts of participants purchasing additional shares at the
average price per share, plus a service charge of $2.50 imposed by BNY Mellon
Shareowner Services and a pro rata share of any brokerage commission (or
equivalent purchase costs) paid by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services in connection
with such purchases. Funds sent to the bank for voluntary additional share
reinvestment may be recalled by the participant by written notice received by
BNY Mellon Shareowner Services not later than two business days before the next
dividend payment date. If for any reason a regular monthly dividend is not paid
by the Fund, funds for voluntary additional share investment will be returned to
the participant, unless the participant specifically directs that such funds
continue to be held by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services for subsequent investment.
Participants will not receive interest on voluntary additional funds held by BNY
Mellon Shareowner Services pending investment.</font></div>

shareholder may leave the plan at any time by written notice to BNY Mellon

such shareholder may request that BNY Mellon Shareowner Services sell such
shareholder&#8217;s shares held in such shareholder&#8217;s plan account and send such
shareholder a check for the net proceeds (including payment of the value of a

charter and bylaws</font>. The Fund&#8217;s charter includes provisions that could
have the effect of limiting the ability of other entities or persons to acquire
control of the Fund or to change the composition of its board of directors and
could have the effect of depriving common stockholders of an opportunity to sell
their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging a third
party from seeking to obtain control of the Fund. The board of directors is
divided into three classes, each having a term of three years. At each annual
meeting of shareholders, the term of one class will expire. This provision could
delay for up to two years the replacement of a majority of the board of
directors. A director may be removed from office with or without cause only by
vote of the holders of at least 75% of the shares of preferred stock or of
common stock, as the case may be, entitled to be voted on the
matter.</font></div>

prevented by the 1940 Act from issuing a class of shares with voting rights that
vary within that class. There are currently different views on whether or not
the Maryland control share acquisition statute conflicts with Section 18(i) of
the 1940 Act. One view is that implementation of the Maryland statute would
conflict with the 1940 Act because it would deprive certain shares of their
voting rights. Another view is that implementation of the Maryland statute would
not conflict with the 1940 Act because it would limit the voting rights of
stockholders who choose to acquire shares of stock that put them within the
specified percentages of ownership rather than limiting the voting rights of the
shares themselves. Because of this uncertainty, the Fund will not elect to be
subject to the Maryland control share acquisition statute in the absence of a
judgment of a federal court of competent jurisdiction or the issuance of a rule
or regulation of the SEC or a published interpretation by the SEC or its staff
that the provisions of the Maryland statute are not inconsistent with the
provisions of the 1940 Act, or a change to the provisions of the 1940 Act having

Fund has entered into a committed facility agreement with the Bank, establishing
the Credit Facility, which allows the Fund to borrow cash from the Bank, up to a
limit of $1 billion. The purpose of the Credit Facility is to enable the Fund to
retire its outstanding preferred stock. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are
collateralized by assets of the Fund. Interest is charged at quarterly LIBOR
(London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus an additional percentage rate on the
amount borrowed, and a rate on the undrawn balance. The Bank has the ability to
require repayment of the Credit Facility upon six months notice or following an
event of default. The Fund paid a one-time arrangement fee based on a percentage
of the total borrowing limit. The Bank has the ability to borrow the securities
used to collateralize the Credit Facility, subject to certain conditions
(&#8220;Hypothecated Securities&#8221;). The Fund is entitled to receive a fee from the Bank
in connection with the borrowing of Hypothecated Securities. The Fund can recall
any Hypothecated Security at any time and if the Bank fails to return it (or an
equivalent security) in a timely fashion, the Bank will be liable to the Fund
for the ultimate delivery of such security and certain costs associated with
delayed delivery. In the event the Bank does not return the security or an
equivalent security, the Fund will have the right to, among other things, apply
and set off an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then-current
fair market value of such Hypothecated Securities against any amounts owed to
the Bank under the Credit Facility.</font></div>

paid by the Fund from its ordinary income and distributions of the Fund&#8217;s net
realized short-term capital gains are taxable to shareholders as ordinary
income, except to the extent that a reduced capital gains rate applies to
certain qualified dividend income (&#8220;QDI&#8221;). Ordinary income dividends treated as
QDI are taxed at the same rates as long-term capital gains. However, even though
such QDI is taxed at the same rates as long-term capital gains, such QDI will
not be considered long-term capital gains for other U.S. federal income tax
purposes. For example, a shareholder generally will not be permitted to offset
ordinary income dividends with capital losses. Short-term capital gain
distributions will continue to be taxed at ordinary income rates. If the Fund
has capital loss carryovers, distributions derived from capital gains in the
Fund&#8217;s portfolio may constitute ordinary income, rather than capital gains, to
shareholders.</font></div>

may be proportionately liable for taxes on income and gains of the Fund but
shareholders not subject to tax on their income will not be required to pay tax
on amounts distributed to them. The Fund will inform shareholders of the amount
and nature of the income or gains. Dividends from ordinary income may be
eligible for the dividends-received deduction available to corporate
shareholders. Under its charter, the Fund is required to designate dividends
paid on its remarketed preferred stock as qualifying for the dividends-received
deduction to the extent such dividends do not exceed the Fund&#8217;s qualifying
income. In the event the Fund is required to allocate all of its qualifying
income to dividends on the remarketed preferred stock, dividends payable on the
common stock and the auction preferred stock will not be eligible for the
dividends-received deduction. Any distributions attributable to the Fund&#8217;s net
realized long-term capital gains are taxable to shareholders as long-term
capital gains, regardless of the holding period of shares of the Fund. Under
current law, the maximum tax rate on long-term capital gains is generally 35%
for corporate shareholders and 15% for non-corporate shareholders. Without
future congressional action, the maximum tax rate on long-term capital gains
would return to 20% in 2011 for non-corporate shareholders, and the maximum tax
rate on QDI would move to 39.6% in 2011 for non-corporate shareholders. Certain
policymakers have recently suggested repealing these reduced rates for some
taxpayers before they would have otherwise expired.</font></div>

      of the nominating and governance committee of the board of directors,
      which selects nominees for election as directors, recommends individuals
      to be appointed by the board as Fund officers and members of board
      committees and makes recommendations regarding other Fund governance and
      board administration matters. The nominating and governance committee met
      three times during 2009. In identifying potential director nominees, the
      nominating and governance committee considers candidates recommended by
      one or more of the following sources: the Fund&#8217;s current directors, the
      Fund&#8217;s officers, the Fund&#8217;s shareholders and any other source the
      committee deems appropriate. Shareholders wishing to recommend candidates
      to the nominating and governance committee should submit such
      recommendations to the Secretary of the Fund, who will forward the
      recommendations to the committee for consideration. In evaluating
      potential director nominees, including nominees recommended by
      shareholders, the nominating and governance committee considers such
      qualifications and skills as it deems relevant but does not have any
      specific minimum qualifications that must be met by a
    nominee.</font></div>

      Structure</font>.&#160;&#160;The board of directors believes that the most
      appropriate leadership structure for the Fund is for the Chairman of the
      board to be an independent director, in order to provide strong,
      independent oversight of the Fund&#8217;s management and affairs, including the
      Fund&#8217;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></div>

      assesses and manages the Fund&#8217;s major financial risk exposures. The

      investment advisory agreement and administration agreement should be
      continued, the contracts committee is to give careful consideration to the
      risk oversight policies of the Adviser and the Administrator,

      meeting in person receives a fee of $3,000 for such attendance (for no
      more than four meetings per year); (v) each committee member who attends a

      the 1940 Act. The Codes impose significant restrictions on the ability of
      personnel subject to the Codes to engage in personal securities
      transactions. Among other things, the Codes generally prohibit covered
      personnel from knowingly buying or selling securities (except for mutual
      funds, U.S. government securities and money market instruments) that are
      being purchased, sold or considered for purchase or sale by the Fund
      unless the proposed purchases are approved in advance by the Adviser&#8217;s
      compliance officer. The Codes also contain certain reporting requirements
      and compliance procedures. The Codes are exhibits to the registration
      statement of which this Statement of Additional Information is a part and
      are available at the EDGAR Database on the SEC&#8217;s Internet site at <font style="DISPLAY: inline; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">http://www.sec.gov</font>.
      The Codes may also be reviewed and copied at the Public Reference Room of
      the SEC in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the Public
      Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1 202-551-8090.
      Copies of the Codes may also be obtained, after paying a duplicating fee,
      by electronic request at the following E mail address: <font style="DISPLAY: inline; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">publicinfo@sec.gov</font>,

      may be certain inherent conflicts of interest that arise in connection

      include aggregation of orders for all accounts managed by a particular
      portfolio manager, the allocation of purchases across all such accounts,
      the allocation of IPOs and any soft dollar arrangements that the Adviser
      may have in place that could benefit the Fund and/or such other accounts.
      The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures designed to address any
      such conflicts of interest to ensure that all management time, resources
      and investment opportunities are allocated equitably. There have been no
      material compliance issues with respect to any of these policies and

      Each portfolio manager is paid a fixed base salary, which is designed to
      be competitive in light of the individual&#8217;s experience and
      responsibilities. In order to evaluate competitive market compensation
      when determining base salary for its investment management professionals,
      Virtus uses compensation survey results of investment industry

      levels, adjusted based on profitability, investment performance factors
      and a subjective assessment of each individual&#8217;s contribution to the team
      effort. The short-term incentive payment is generally paid in cash, but a
      portion may be made in Virtus RSUs. Individual payments are assessed using
      comparisons of actual investment performance with specific peer group or
      index measures. The performance component is based in part on achieving
      and/or exceeding income targets underlying the Fund&#8217;s ability to pay
      common stock dividends, and in part on performance relative to a composite
      of the S&amp;P Utility Market Price Index and the Barclays Utility Bond
      Index reflecting the stock and bond ratio of the Fund. The performance
      component is further adjusted to reward investment personnel for managing
      within the stated framework and for not taking unnecessary risks. This
      ensures that investment personnel will remain focused on managing and
      acquiring securities that correspond to the Fund&#8217;s mandate and risk
      profile. It also avoids the temptation for portfolio managers to take on
      more risk and unnecessary exposure to chase performance for personal
      gain.</font></div>

      bonus compensation of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio managers is currently comprised

      calculation of investment performance measures, including the Fund&#8217;s
      earnings per share and total return over a one-year period. The total
      return is compared to a composite of the Barclays Capital Utility Bond
      Index and the S&amp;P Utility Market Price Index. Portfolio managers who
      manage more than one product may have other components in their formulaic
      calculation that are appropriate to the other products, weighted according
      to the proportion of the manager&#8217;s time that is allocated to each specific
      product. The remaining 30% of the incentive bonus is based on the overall
      Virtus EBITDA.</font></div>

      selecting brokers or dealers to execute portfolio transactions and in
      evaluating the best net price and execution available, the Adviser is
      authorized to consider &#8220;brokerage and research services&#8221; (as those terms
      are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that
      assist the Adviser in fulfilling its investment management
      responsibilities. The Adviser is also authorized to cause the Fund to pay
      to a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a
      commission for executing a portfolio transaction which is in excess of the
      amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
      effecting that transaction. The Adviser must determine in good faith,
      however, that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of
      the brokerage and research services provided, viewed in terms of either
      that particular transaction or the Adviser&#8217;s overall responsibilities with
      respect to the accounts as to which the Adviser exercises investment
      discretion. It is possible that certain of the services received by the
      Adviser attributable to a particular transaction will benefit one or more
      other accounts as to which investment discretion is exercised by the
      Adviser. The Adviser does not direct the Fund&#8217;s brokerage transactions to
      brokers for third party research services that the Adviser could purchase
      directly from a vendor. The Adviser does direct the Fund&#8217;s brokerage
      transactions to brokers for proprietary research regarding the economy,
      industries, sectors of securities, individual companies, statistical
      information, taxation, political developments, legal developments and
      market action. Such research services are received primarily in the form
      of written reports, telephone contacts and personal meetings with
      securities analysts.</font></div>

paid by the Fund from its ordinary income and distributions of the Fund&#8217;s net
realized short-term capital gains are taxable to shareholders as ordinary
income, except to the extent that a reduced capital gains rate applies to QDI.
Ordinary income dividends treated as QDI are taxed at the same rates as
long-term capital gains. However, even though such QDI is taxed at the same
rates as long-term capital gains, such QDI will not be considered long-term
capital gains for other U.S. federal income tax purposes. For example, a
shareholder generally will not be permitted to offset ordinary income dividends
with capital losses. Short-term capital gain distributions will continue to be
taxed at ordinary income rates. In addition, if the Fund has capital loss
carryovers, distributions derived from long-term capital gains in the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio may constitute ordinary income, rather than capital gains, to
shareholders.</font></div>

from ordinary income may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
available to corporate shareholders. Under its charter, the Fund is required to
designate dividends paid on its remarketed preferred stock as qualifying for the
dividends-received deduction to the extent such dividends do not exceed the
Fund&#8217;s qualifying income. In the event the Fund is required to allocate all of
its qualifying income to dividends on the remarketed preferred stock, dividends
payable on the common stock and the auction preferred stock will not be eligible
for the dividends-received deduction. Any distributions attributable to the
Fund&#8217;s net realized long-term capital gains are taxable to shareholders as
long-term capital gains, regardless of the holding period of shares of the Fund.
Under current law, the maximum tax rate on long-term capital gains is generally
35% for corporate shareholders and 15% for non-corporate shareholders. Without
future congressional action, the maximum tax rate on long-term capital gains
would return to 20% in 2011 for non-corporate shareholders, and the maximum tax
rate on QDI would move to 39.6% in 2011 for non-corporate shareholders. Certain
policymakers have recently suggested repealing these reduced rates for some
taxpayers before they would have otherwise expired.</font></div>

Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling

such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act

affirming their confidence in the integrity and good faith of all of their

of the foregoing and of the provisions of Section 204-2 under the Investment

adopt this Code of Ethics (the &#8220;Code&#8221;) to specify and prohibit certain types of
transactions deemed to create conflicts of interest (or at least the potential
for or the appearance of such a conflict) and to establish reporting
requirements and enforcement procedures. Because the Code cannot foresee all
possible situations that may arise, the Adviser ultimately relies upon the
integrity and judgment of its personnel.&#160;&#160;This Code presents a
framework against which all Supervised Persons should seek to measure their
conduct. When Supervised Persons covered by the terms of this Code engage in
personal securities transactions, they must adhere to the following general
