STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board believes that the most appropriate leadership structure for the Funds is for the Chairman of the Board to be an independent director, in order to provide strong, independent oversight of each
Fund&#146;s management and affairs, including each Fund&#146;s risk management function. Accordingly, while the Chief Executive Officer of the Funds 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 the Funds&#146; management and is available for consultation with the Funds&#146; management between Board meetings.

The nominating and governance committee is composed of three directors and acts under a written charter that was most recently amended on May&nbsp;11, 2011. A copy of the charter is available on each Fund&#146;s website at www.dnpselectincome.com
and www.ducfund.com and in print to any shareholder who requests it. None of the members of the nominating and governance committee are &#147;interested persons&#148; of the Funds as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. In identifying
potential director nominees, the nominating and governance committee considers candidates recommended by one or more of the following sources: the Funds&#146; current directors, the Funds&#146; officers, the Funds&#146; shareholders and any other
source the committee deems appropriate. The committee may, but is not required to, retain a third-party search firm at the Funds&#146; expense to identify potential candidates. Shareholders wishing to recommend candidates to the nominating and
governance committee should submit such recommendations to the Secretary of the Funds, who will forward the recommendations to the committee for consideration. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

of the Funds. The annual Board self-evaluation process includes consideration of whether the Board&#146;s composition represents an appropriate balance of skills and diversity for the Funds&#146; needs. 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. The committee

a proposed noncompliance will not adversely affect its then-current rating of the preferred stock. We refer to those charter provisions collectively as the &#147;No Adverse Effect Rule.&#148; </FONT></P>

registered investment company is its ability to use leverage. Each of the Funds has utilized various forms of leverage during its history, including both preferred stock and borrowings. The use of leverage has enabled the Funds, in effect, to borrow
at short-term rates and invest at longer-term rates. During any period when the net income from the investments that the Fund purchases using the proceeds of leverage exceeds the costs of the leverage (<I>i.e., </I>dividends payable on preferred
stock and interest payable on borrowings, plus associated expenses in each case), that excess enables the Funds to pay higher dividends on their common stock than if the Funds were not so leveraged. Historically, the tendency of the U.S. yield curve
to exhibit a positive slope (<I>i.e.</I>, long-term rates higher than short-term rates) has fostered an environment in which leverage can make a positive contribution to the earnings of the Funds, although there is no assurance that this will
continue to be the case in the future. For example, a prolonged period of low longer-term interest rates and the resultant modest reinvestment opportunities for the Funds&#146; fixed-income portfolios could adversely affect the income provided from
leverage. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The table below indicates the contribution that the use of leverage has made to the net income of each of the Funds

to increase the volatility of both the Fund&#146;s net asset value and the market value of its common stock. If the use of leverage were to cease being beneficial to a Fund for an extended period, the Board would consider modifying the amount and

and the AMPS) and periodic remarketings (for the RP) was established to provide a liquid trading market for those shares. The dividend rate payable on each series of preferred stock for each dividend period was designed to be set through that
periodic auction or remarketing process. The charter provisions governing the preferred stock also contemplated the possibility that an auction could fail (if there were insufficient clearing bids to purchase all of the shares that current holders
wished to sell in an auction), and that a remarketing could fail (if the remarketing agent were unable to set a dividend rate that would clear the market of all of the shares that current holders wished to sell in a remarketing). When an auction or
remarketing fails, the current holders must retain their shares until the next periodic auction or remarketing (or longer) and the dividend rate for the next dividend period is automatically set to the maximum dividend rate permitted by the
applicable Fund&#146;s charter. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The charter of each Fund defines the maximum dividend rate differently for each type of

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;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 shares of all closed-end funds, including the Funds&#146; preferred stock. The lack of liquidity resulting from the persistence of such auction and remarketing failures has caused a significant hardship for many holders of the Funds&#146;
preferred stock. Moreover, the Adviser and the Board have concluded that the preferred stock auction and remarketing processes may not provide liquidity for an extended period of time, if ever, with the result that the Funds may be required to pay
the maximum dividend rates applicable to their preferred stock for an extended period of time. That will make the costs of the Funds&#146; preferred stock leverage higher than they would have been if those costs had been determined through a
successful auction or remarketing process. As a result, the income that holders of common stock receive will be lower than the income they would have received in the absence of the auction and remarketing failures. </FONT></P>

Facility to retire a portion of its preferred stock&#151;in effect, replacing a portion of its preferred stock leverage with debt leverage. The following are the actions taken by each Fund during 2009 to provide partial liquidity to holders of

using alternative forms of leverage (such as borrowings or reverse repurchase agreements) is limited by the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act and related SEC rules. But the Funds are further constrained by rating agency guidelines that
restrict the Funds&#146; ability to borrow money or enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Moreover, the No Adverse Effect Rule in each Fund&#146;s charter currently prohibits any deviations from rating agency guidelines unless the Fund receives
written confirmation from the relevant rating agency that a proposed noncompliance will not adversely affect its then-current rating of the preferred stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This has created an anomalous situation in which many holders of the Funds&#146; preferred stock&#151;who are no longer able to obtain liquidity through the auction and remarketing processes&#151;have
expressed a strong desire for the Funds to redeem or repurchase their shares of preferred stock, but the Funds are constrained from doing so because the rating agency guidelines do not allow them to refinance additional shares of preferred stock
with borrowings or reverse repurchase agreements unless each rating agency confirms that any resulting noncompliance with the guidelines will not adversely affect its then-current rating of the preferred stock. The Board and the Adviser believe that
most preferred shareholders would rather obtain liquidity for additional portions of their preferred stock, even if it meant that the rating of the preferred stock that remained outstanding would be lowered. However, the Funds do not currently have
that option, since the No Adverse Effect Rule does not allow them to deviate from the rating agency guidelines in exchange for accepting a lower rating. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Funds could also provide additional liquidity to preferred shareholders by simply redeeming or repurchasing shares of preferred stock without replacing them with an alternative form of leverage; in
other words, by deleveraging. But the Board and the Adviser believe that deleveraging would have significant drawbacks. It would require the Funds to sell a portion of their portfolio investments at a time when it might be disadvantageous for them
to do so. In addition, it would deprive the Funds of the income-generating benefits of leverage that have historically enabled the Funds to pay higher dividends to common shareholders. While the Funds&#146; goal is to provide additional liquidity to
preferred shareholders, the Board and the Adviser have been consistent in stating that any action taken to provide such liquidity (1)&nbsp;should not materially disadvantage common shareholders and their ability to benefit from leverage,
(2)&nbsp;should be long-term in nature and (3)&nbsp;should not encumber the investment process or reduce the pool of available investment alternatives for the Funds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the Board and the Adviser believe that the No Adverse Effect Rule is no longer serving the interests of the Funds&#146; common shareholders. While maintaining the AAA ratings of the preferred

could change in the near future. If the rating agencies lower their ratings of the preferred stock and/or if reference interest rates rise, the cost of the preferred stock to the Funds will increase. Moreover, both S&amp;P and Moody&#146;s have
recently proposed changes to their criteria and methodologies for rating the preferred stock issued by closed-end funds. If those proposed changes are adopted, the Funds&#146; preferred stock would likely lose their AAA ratings. Depending on the
extent of the downgrade, the dividend rates on the Funds&#146; preferred stock (particularly the APS and the AMPS) could increase, perhaps substantially, thereby reducing the Funds&#146; net income available for distribution to common shareholders.

be comparable to or lower than the cost of maintaining the preferred stock. However, the Funds do not currently have that flexibility because the rating agency guidelines restrict the Funds&#146; ability to borrow money or enter into reverse
repurchase agreements, and because the No Adverse Effect Rule prohibits any deviations from rating agency guidelines unless the Fund receives written confirmation from the relevant rating agency that a proposed noncompliance will not adversely

give the Funds greater flexibility to replace additional shares of preferred stock with alternative forms of leverage. Currently, the rating agencies have an absolute veto over the ability of the Funds to borrow money or enter into reverse

into account the pertinent facts and circumstances, such noncompliance was in the best interests of the Fund. As a practical matter, this would enable the Funds to negotiate with the rating agencies and accept a lower rating on their preferred stock

By expanding the use of borrowings or entering into reverse repurchase agreements to replace their preferred stock leverage, the Funds may incur additional expenses which may decrease their earnings or they may become subject to covenants and other

believe that the foregoing amendments to DNP&#146;s fundamental investment restrictions are necessary, in light of recent legislative and market developments, in order to preserve DNP&#146;s ability to engage in swaps and other derivatives
transactions in accordance with its existing investment policies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Many derivatives transactions, such as interest rate swaps
that DNP may use to hedge its borrowing costs and foreign currency swaps that DNP may use to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates, have historically been and currently are traded in an over-the-counter, or bilateral, market.
However, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and implementing regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the SEC will subject certain derivatives transactions to a mandatory clearing requirement.
That means that, for those derivatives transactions subject to the requirement, a clearing organization will be substituted for the original trading counterparty and act as a central counterparty to each side of the transaction. Access to clearing
organizations will be provided through futures commission merchants, brokers and certain other intermediaries. Swaps and other derivatives not subject to mandatory clearing may become available for clearing on a voluntary basis. In many respects,
the arrangements for cleared derivatives are expected to be similar to existing arrangements for futures contracts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
proposed amendments are intended to clarify that DNP&#146;s fundamental investment restrictions will not preclude DNP from entering into cleared swap and cleared security-based swap transactions. </FONT></P>

independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services to the Fund is either (i)&nbsp;pre-approved by the Fund&#146;s audit committee or the chairman of the audit committee, to whom the committee has delegated the

controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In deciding whether to grant pre-approval for
such non-audit services, the audit committee or the chairman of the audit committee, as the case may be, considers whether the provision of such non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the Fund&#146;s accountants.

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.

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> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee

pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and

Fund&#146;s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with
the SEC&#146;s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or
disclosure matters not classified as &#147;audit services&#148;; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to
accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under form N-SAR. </FONT></P>

tax advice without impairing the auditor&#146;s independence, and the SEC has stated that the independent auditor may provide such services. Hence, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those tax services that have
historically been provided by the auditor, that the Audit Committee has reviewed and believes would not impair the independence of the auditor, and that are consistent with the SEC&#146;s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will not
permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the
