<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Cornerstone Strategic Investment Fund, Inc. (the
&#8220;Fund&#8221;) is issuing non-transferable rights (&#8220;Rights&#8221;) to its holders of record of shares of common stock (&#8220;Common
Stock&#8221;) (such holders hereinafter referred to as &#8220;Stockholders&#8221; and the shares of Common Stock, the &#8220;Shares&#8221;)
which Rights will allow Stockholders to subscribe for new Shares (the &#8220;Offering&#8221;). For every three (3) Rights a Stockholder
receives, such Stockholder will be entitled to buy one (1) new Share. Each Stockholder will receive one Right for each outstanding Share
it owns on April 21, 2025 (the &#8220;Record Date&#8221;). Fractional Shares will not be issued upon the exercise of the Rights. Accordingly,
the number of Rights to be issued to a Stockholder on the Record Date will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Rights evenly
divisible by three. Stockholders on the Record Date may purchase Shares not acquired by other Stockholders in this Rights offering, subject
to certain limitations discussed in this Prospectus. Additionally, if there are not enough unsubscribed Shares to honor all additional
subscription requests, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, issue additional Shares up to 100% of the Shares available in the Offering
to honor additional subscription requests. See &#8220;The Offering&#8221; below.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Rights are non-transferable, and may not be
purchased or sold. Rights will expire without residual value at the Expiration Date (defined below). The Rights will not be listed
for trading on the NYSE American LLC (&#8220;NYSE American&#8221;), and there will not be any market for trading Rights. The Shares
to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be listed for trading on the NYSE American, subject to the NYSE American being officially
notified of the issuance of those Shares. On April 4, 2025, the last reported net asset value (&#8220;NAV&#8221;) per Share was $5.78
and the last reported sales price per Share on the NYSE American was $6.85, which represents a 18.51% premium to the Fund&#8217;s
NAV per Share. The subscription price per Share (the &#8220;Subscription Price&#8221;) will be the greater of (i) 112% of NAV per
Share as calculated at the close of trading on the date of expiration of the Offering and (ii) 80% of the market price per Share at
such time. The considerable number of Shares that may be issued as a result of the Offering may cause the premium above NAV at which
the Fund&#8217;s Shares are currently trading to decline, especially if Stockholders exercising the Rights attempt to sell sizeable
numbers of shares immediately after such issuance.</p>

FOR SHARES AND THE FUND RECEIVES PAYMENT, SUCH STOCKHOLDER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WITHDRAW HIS, HER OR ITS SUBSCRIPTION OR CHANGE HIS, HER
OR ITS DECISION. THE OFFERING WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MAY 16, 2025 (THE &#8220;EXPIRATION DATE&#8221;), UNLESS

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The offering may substantially dilute the voting
power of Stockholders who do not fully exercise their Rights since they will own a smaller proportionate interest in the Fund upon completion

    Date (the &#8220;Basic Subscription&#8221;). Fractional Shares will not be issued upon the exercise of the Rights. Accordingly, the
    number of Rights to be issued to a Stockholder as of the Record Date will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Rights evenly
    divisible by three. Stockholders as of the Record Date may purchase Shares not acquired by other Stockholders in this Rights offering,

    over-subscription requests, the Fund may, in its discretion, issue additional Shares up to 100% of the Shares available in the Offering

    In general, valuation analysis is used to determine the inherent value of the company by analyzing financial information such as

    a company&#8217;s potential for long-term dividends and earnings growth due to market-oriented factors such as growing market share,
    the launch of new products or services, the strength of its management and market demand. Fluctuations in these characteristics may

    investment companies (commonly referred to as mutual funds) in that closed-end funds do not redeem their shares at the option of
    the stockholder and generally list their shares for trading on a securities exchange. By comparison, mutual funds issue securities
    that are redeemable daily at net asset value at the option of the stockholder and typically engage in a continuous offering of their
    shares. Mutual funds are subject to continuous asset in-flows and out-flows that can complicate portfolio management, whereas closed-end
    funds generally can stay more fully invested in securities consistent with the closed-end fund&#8217;s investment objectives and
    policies. In addition, in comparison to open-end funds, closed-end funds have greater flexibility in the employment of financial
    leverage and in the ability to make certain types of investments, including investments in illiquid securities.</p>

    from their net asset value. In recognition of the possibility that the Shares might trade at a discount to net asset value and that
    any such discount may not be in the interest of Stockholders, the Fund&#8217;s Board of Directors, in consultation with the Investment
    Adviser, may, from time to time, review possible actions to reduce any such discount, including considering open market repurchases
    or tender offers for the Fund&#8217;s Shares. There can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will decide to undertake any
    of these actions or that, if undertaken, such actions would result in the Shares trading at a price equal to or close to net asset

    changes to, many retail and other businesses, which could have negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets
    worldwide. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events (and their aftermath) have led, and in the future may lead, to increased
    short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise,
    natural and environmental disasters, such as, for example, earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and weather-related phenomena
    generally, as well as the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including widespread epidemics or pandemics
    such as the novel coronavirus (&#8220;COVID-19&#8221;) global pandemic outbreak in 2020, and systemic market dislocations can be
    highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic and political
    conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit
    ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of Fund investments.</p>

    invest a significant portion of its net assets in common stocks. Common stocks represent an ownership interest in a company. The
    Fund may also invest in securities that can be exercised for or converted into common stocks (such as convertible preferred stock).
    Common stocks and similar equity securities are more volatile and more risky than some other forms of investment. Therefore, the
    value of your investment in the Fund may sometimes decrease instead of increase. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons,
    including changes in investors&#8217; perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, the general condition of the relevant
    stock market or when political or economic events affecting the issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive
    to rising interest rates, as the costs of capital rise for issuers. Because convertible securities can be converted into equity securities,
    their values will normally increase or decrease as the values of the underlying equity securities increase or decrease. The common
    stocks in which the Fund will invest are structurally subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a
    company&#8217;s capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and assets and, therefore, will be subject to greater
    risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such issuers.&#160;</p></td></tr>

    in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve special risks not presented by investments in securities of U.S. issuers, including the
    following: less publicly available information about companies due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards or regulatory
    practices; the impact of political, social or diplomatic events, including war; possible seizure, expropriation or nationalization
    of the company or its assets; possible imposition of currency exchange controls; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
    These risks are more pronounced to the extent that the Fund invests a significant amount of its investments in companies located
    in one region. These risks may be greater in emerging markets and in less developed countries. For example, prior governmental approval
    for foreign investments may be required in some emerging market countries, and the extent of foreign investment may be subject to
    limitation in other emerging countries. With respect to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Fund
    does not expect to engage in foreign currency hedging transactions. See &#8220;Foreign Currency Risk.&#8221;</p>

    <p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Managed Distribution Policy Risk. </i></b>Under
    the Fund&#8217;s Distribution Policy, the Fund makes monthly distributions to Stockholders at a rate that may include periodic distributions
    of its net income and net capital gains (&#8220;Net Earnings&#8221;), or from return-of-capital. For any fiscal year where total
    cash distributions exceeded Net Earnings (the &#8220;Excess&#8221;), the Excess would decrease the Fund&#8217;s total assets and,
    as a result, would have the likely effect of increasing the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio. There is a risk that the total Net Earnings
    from the Fund&#8217;s portfolio would not be great enough to offset the amount of cash distributions paid to Stockholders. If this
    were to be the case, the Fund&#8217;s assets would be depleted, and there is no guarantee that the Fund would be able to replace
    the assets. In addition, in order to make such distributions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio, including
    securities purchased with the proceeds of the Offering, at a time when independent investment judgment might not dictate such action.
    Furthermore, such assets used to make distributions will not be available for investment pursuant to the Fund&#8217;s investment
    objective. The Fund adopted the Distribution Policy in 2002, and during recent years the Fund&#8217;s distributions have exceeded
    its Net Earnings. The Fund may use the proceeds of the Offering to maintain the Distribution Policy by providing funding for future
    distributions, which may constitute a return of capital to Stockholders and lower the tax basis in their Shares which, for the taxable
    Stockholders, will defer any potential gains until the Shares are sold. For the taxable Stockholders, the portion of distribution
    that constitutes ordinary income and/or capital gains is taxable to such Stockholders in the year the distribution is declared. A
    return of capital is non-taxable to the extent of the Stockholder&#8217;s basis in the shares. The Stockholders would reduce their
    basis (but not below zero) in the Shares by the amount of the distribution and therefore may result in an increase in the amount
    of any taxable gain on a subsequent disposition of such Shares, even if such Shares are sold at a loss to the Stockholder&#8217;s
    original investment amount. Any return of capital will be separately identified when Stockholders receive their tax statements. Any
    return of capital that exceeds cost basis may be treated as capital gain. Stockholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers
    with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund. The Fund may need to raise additional capital in order to maintain
    the Distribution Policy.</p></td></tr>

    updated to provide for the annual resetting of the monthly distribution amount per share based on the Fund&#8217;s net asset value
    on the last business day in October. The terms of the Distribution Policy will be reviewed and approved at least annually by the
    Fund&#8217;s Board of Directors and can be modified at the Board&#8217;s discretion. To the extent that these distributions exceed
    the current earnings of the Fund, the balance will be generated from sales of portfolio securities held by the Fund, and will be
    distributed as either short-term or long-term capital gains or a tax-free return-of-capital. To the extent these distributions are
    not represented by net investment income and capital gains, they will not represent yield or investment return on the Fund&#8217;s
    investment portfolio. As shown on page 35 in the table which identifies the constituent components of the Fund&#8217;s distributions
    under its Managed Distribution Policy for years 2020-2024, a majority of the distributions that the Fund made to its Stockholders
    for 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2024 consisted of a return of its Stockholders&#8217; capital, and not of income or gains generated from
    the Fund&#8217;s investment portfolio, and substantially all of the distributions that the Fund made to its Stockholders for 2022
    consisted of a return of its Stockholders&#8217; capital, and not of income or gains generated from the Fund&#8217;s investment

will not be issued upon the exercise of the Rights. Accordingly, the number of Rights to be issued to a Record Date Stockholder on the
Record Date will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Rights evenly divisible by three. Rights may be exercised at any time during
the Subscription Period which commences on or about April 30, 2025 and ends at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 16, 2025 unless
extended by the Fund. See &#8220;Expiration of the Offering.&#8221; The right to acquire one additional Share for every three Rights

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline">Board Considerations in Approving the Offering</span></b>.
At a meeting held on February 21, 2025, the Board considered the approval of the Offering. In considering whether or not to approve the
Offering, the Board relied on materials and information prepared and presented by the Fund&#8217;s management at such meeting and discussions
at that time. Based on such materials and their deliberations at this meeting, the Board determined that it would be in the best interests
of the Fund and its Stockholders to conduct the Offering in order to increase the assets of the Fund available for current and future
investment opportunities. In making its determination, the Board considered the various factors set forth in &#8220;The Offering &#8211;
Purpose of the Offering&#8221;. The Board also considered a number of other factors, including the success of the 2010 Offering, the
2011 Offering, the 2012 Offering, the 2013 Offering, the 2016 Offering, the 2017 Offering, the 2018 Offering, the 2021 Offering, and
the 2022 Offering (collectively, the &#8220;Prior Rights Offerings&#8221;) and that the Prior Rights Offerings were anti-dilutive to
Stockholders with respect to value, the ability of the Investment Adviser to invest the proceeds of the Offering, the Fund&#8217;s assets,
including those resulting from Prior Rights Offerings, have been used to maintain the Fund&#8217;s Distribution Policy because a portion
of the assets raised in the rights offering may be utilized to maintain monthly distributions and the potential effect of the Offering
on the Fund&#8217;s stock price and adherence to the terms of the Fund&#8217;s exemptive relief, which restricts a public offering of
its common stock. The Board considered that, during the course of each of the Prior Rights Offerings, the Fund&#8217;s market price declined,
however the Board noted that the Fund continued at all times during the 2022 Offering and all of the time since the 2022 Offering&#8217;s
conclusion to sell at a premium to NAV, and the current market price, after adjusting for distributions, exceeded the level that it was
prior to the 2021 Offering. When considering the potential effect of the Offering on the Fund&#8217;s stock price, the Board took into
account the 2022 Offering, including the positive impact it had on the Fund&#8217;s net asset value per share and the short-term price
effect. The Board concluded that the impact on the Fund&#8217;s price was uncertain and, regardless of the potential impact, the Offering
was in the best interests of the Stockholders. As a result of these considerations, the Board determined that it was appropriate and
in the best interest of the Fund and its Stockholders to proceed with the Offering, while continuing with the Distribution Policy.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">At a meeting held on February 21, 2025, the Board
voted to approve the terms of the Offering. Three of the Fund&#8217;s Directors who voted to authorize the Offering are affiliated with
the Investment Adviser and, therefore, could benefit indirectly from the Offering. The remaining directors are not &#8220;interested
persons&#8221; of the Fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Investment Adviser may also benefit from the Offering because its
fee is based on the assets of the Fund. It is not possible to state precisely the amount of additional compensation the Investment Adviser
might receive as a result of the Offering because it is not known how many Shares will be subscribed for and the proceeds of the Offering
will be invested in additional portfolio securities, which will fluctuate in value. It is likely that affiliates of the Investment Adviser
who are also Stockholders will participate in the Offering and, accordingly, will receive the same benefits of acquiring Shares as other
Stockholders.</p>

is irrevocable and effective with respect to all Rights received by a Record Date Stockholder. A Section 307(b)(2) Election is made by
attaching a statement to the Record Date Stockholder&#8217;s federal income tax return for the taxable year of the Record Date (which
is the same as the year as when the Rights were received). A Record Date Stockholder must retain a copy of the Section 307(b)(2) Election
and the tax return with which the Section 307(b)(2) Election was filed in order to substantiate the use of an allocated basis upon subsequent
disposition of the New Shares. Record Date Stockholders should carefully review the differing federal income tax consequences described
below before deciding whether or not to make a Section 307(b)(2) Election.</p>

in order to exercise Rights may be treated as Benefit Plan contributions and, when taken together with contributions previously made,
may subject a Benefit Plan to excise taxes for excess or nondeductible contributions. In the case of Benefit Plans qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code, additional cash contributions could cause the maximum contribution limitations of Section 415 of the Code or other

with their counsel prior to making such contributions.</p>

The Investment Adviser will benefit from the Offering because its fees are based on the average total net assets of the Fund. It is not

the proceeds of the Offering will be invested in additional portfolio securities that will fluctuate in value. However, based on the
Estimated Subscription Price of $6.47: (i) if all Rights are exercised in the Basic Subscription, the annual compensation to be received
by the Investment Adviser would be increased by approximately $5,451,126 and (ii) if all Rights are exercised in the Basic Subscription
and the Fund issues all of the Over-Subscription Shares, the annual compensation to be received by the Investment Adviser would be increased
by approximately $10,902,251. Three of the Fund&#8217;s Directors who voted to approve the Offering are &#8220;interested persons&#8221;
of the Investment Adviser within the meaning of the 1940 Act. These Directors, Messrs. Daniel Bradshaw, Joshua Bradshaw, and Ralph Bradshaw,
could benefit indirectly from the Offering because of their beneficial interests in the Investment Adviser. The other Directors were
aware of the potential benefit to the Investment Adviser (and indirectly to Messrs. Daniel Bradshaw, Joshua Bradshaw, and Ralph Bradshaw),

the state in which the Fund is incorporated, under certain circumstances, the Board is authorized to approve rights offerings without
obtaining Stockholder approval. The staff of the SEC has interpreted the 1940 Act as not requiring stockholder approval of a rights offering
at a price below the then current NAV so long as certain conditions are met, including a good faith determination by the fund&#8217;s
board of directors that such offering would result in a net benefit to the Fund&#8217;s existing stockholders.</p>

will be approximately $544,476,653 or approximately $1.62 per Share. The net proceeds of the Offering will be invested in accordance
with the Fund&#8217;s investment objective and policies (as stated below) as soon as practicable after completion of the Offering and,
to the extent necessary, net proceeds of the Offering will allow the Fund to maintain its Distribution Policy. The Fund currently anticipates
being able to invest a substantial portion of the net proceeds within one month after the completion of the Offering. Pending investment
of the net proceeds in accordance with the Fund&#8217;s investment objective and policies, the Fund will invest in money market securities
or money market mutual funds. Investors should expect, therefore, that before the Fund has fully invested the proceeds of the Offering
in accordance with its investment objective and policies, the Fund&#8217;s net asset value would earn interest income at a modest rate.
To the extent adequate income is not available, portfolio securities, including those purchased with proceeds of the Offering, may be
sold to meet the amounts distributed under the Fund&#8217;s Distribution Policy.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund&#8217;s investment objective is to seek
long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies which Fund management

will consist principally of the equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies. Currently, the Fund primarily invests in companies
with large capitalizations, however, the Fund may invest in companies of all capitalization ranges. The Fund invests in common stocks
and may also invest in preferred stocks, rights, warrants and securities convertible into common stocks that are listed on stock exchanges
or traded over the counter. The Fund may, without limitation, hold cash or invest in assets in money market instruments, including U.S.
and non-U.S. government securities, high grade commercial paper and certificates of deposit and bankers&#8217; acceptances issued by
U.S. and non-U.S. banks having deposits of at least $500 million. In addition, the Fund may engage in hedging transactions to reduce
its company market and currency exchange exposure.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In determining which securities to buy for the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio, the Investment Adviser uses a balanced approach, including &#8220;value&#8221; and &#8220;growth&#8221; investing by seeking
out companies at reasonable prices, without regard to sector or industry, which demonstrate favorable long-term growth characteristics.
Valuation and growth characteristics may be considered for purposes of selecting potential investment securities. In general, valuation
analysis is used to determine the inherent value of the company by analyzing financial information such as a company&#8217;s price to
book, price to sales, return on equity, and return on assets ratios; and growth analysis is used to determine a company&#8217;s potential
for long-term dividends and earnings growth due to market-oriented factors such as growing market share, the launch of new products or
services, the strength of its management and market demand. Fluctuations in these characteristics may trigger trading decisions to be
made by the Investment Adviser.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Although the Fund has the ability to invest a significant
portion of its assets in non-U.S. companies, the Fund has consistently maintained the investment of at least 95% of its assets in U.S.
listed companies since June 30, 2001.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest without limitation in other closed-end
investment companies and ETFs, provided that the Fund limits its investment in securities issued by other investment companies so that
not more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company will be owned by the Fund. As a stockholder in any investment
company, the Fund will bear its ratable share of the investment company&#8217;s expenses and would remain subject to payment of the Fund&#8217;s
advisory and administrative fees with respect to the assets so invested.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">To comply with provisions of the 1940 Act, on any
matter upon which the Fund is solicited to vote as a stockholder in an investment company in which it invests, the Investment Adviser
votes such shares in the same general proportion as shares held by other stockholders of that investment company. The Fund does not and
will not invest in any other closed-end funds managed by the Investment Adviser.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in illiquid
U.S. and non-U.S. securities. The Fund will invest only in such illiquid securities that, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, present
opportunities for substantial growth over a period of two to five years.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund&#8217;s investment policies emphasize long-term
investment in securities. Therefore, the Fund&#8217;s annual portfolio turnover rate is expected to continue to be relatively low, normally
ranging between 10% and 90%. Higher portfolio turnover rates resulting from more actively traded portfolio securities generally result
in higher transaction costs, including brokerage commissions and related capital gains or losses.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund&#8217;s foregoing investment policies may

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Although the Fund does not anticipate having any
securities lending income during the current calendar year, the Fund may lend the securities that it owns to others, which would allow
the Fund the opportunity to earn additional income. Although the Fund will require the borrower of the securities to post collateral
for the loan in accordance with market practice and the terms of the loan will require that the Fund be able to reacquire the loaned
securities if certain events occur, the Fund is still subject to the risk that the borrower of the securities may default, which could
result in the Fund losing money, which would result in a decline in the Fund&#8217;s net asset value.</p>

positions that are inconsistent with the Fund&#8217;s principal investment strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic,
political or other conditions. During such times, the Fund may temporarily invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents,
including money market instruments, prime commercial paper, repurchase agreements, Treasury bills and other short-term obligations of
the U. S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. In these and in other cases, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.</p>

cash balances in any investments it deems appropriate. Such investments may include, without limitation and as permitted under the 1940
Act, money market funds, U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency securities, municipal bonds, repurchase agreements and bank accounts. Many of
the considerations entering into the Investment Adviser&#8217;s recommendations and the portfolio managers&#8217; decisions are subjective.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund has no current intent to use leverage; however,
the Fund reserves the right to utilize limited leverage through issuing preferred shares. The Fund also may borrow money in amounts not
exceeding 10% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) for temporary or emergency purposes, including the payment of dividends
and the settlement of securities transactions, which otherwise might require untimely dispositions of Fund securities. In addition, the
Fund may incur leverage through the use of investment management techniques (<i>e.g.</i>, &#8220;uncovered&#8221; sales of put and call
options, futures contracts and options on futures contracts). In order to hedge against adverse market shifts and for non-hedging, speculative

represent an ownership interest in an issuer. While offering greater potential for long-term growth, common stocks are more volatile

an unfavorable earnings report, 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 issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may

in currency rates, foreign tax laws (including withholding tax), government policies (in this country or abroad), relations between nations
and trading, settlement, custodial and other operational risks. In addition, the costs of investing abroad are generally higher than
in the United States, and foreign securities markets may be less liquid, more volatile and less subject to governmental supervision than
markets in the United States. As an alternative to holding foreign traded securities, the Fund may invest in dollar-denominated securities
of foreign companies that trade on U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. over-the-counter market (including depositary receipts as described

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Because foreign companies are not subject to uniform
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies,
there may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a domestic company. Volume and liquidity in most
foreign debt markets is less than in the United States and securities of some foreign companies are less liquid and more volatile than
securities of comparable U.S. companies. There is generally less government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, broker
dealers and listed companies than in the United States. Mail service between the United States and foreign countries may be slower or
less reliable than within the United States, thus increasing the risk of delayed settlements of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates
for portfolio securities. Payment for securities before delivery may be required. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries,
there is the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments which
could affect investments in those countries. Moreover, individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S.
economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and
balance of payments position. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed
as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less
liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies.</p>

emerging market securities, although through its investments in ETFs, other investment companies or depository receipts that invest in
emerging market securities, up to 20% of the Fund&#8217;s assets may be invested indirectly in issuers located in emerging markets. The
risks of foreign investments described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging markets. The securities markets
of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the United
States and developed foreign markets. Disclosure and regulatory standards in many respects are less stringent than in the United States
and developed foreign markets. There also may be a lower level of monitoring and regulation of securities markets in emerging market
countries and the activities of investors in such markets and enforcement of existing regulations has been extremely limited. Many emerging
countries have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations
in inflation rates have had and may continue to have very negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging
countries. Economies in emerging markets generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and, accordingly, have been and may
continue to be affected adversely by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values, and other protectionist
measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade. The economies of these countries also have been and may continue
to be adversely affected by economic conditions in the countries in which they trade. The economies of countries with emerging markets
may also be predominantly based on only a few industries or dependent on revenues from particular commodities. In addition, custodial
services and other costs relating to investment in foreign markets may be more expensive in emerging markets than in many developed foreign
markets, which could reduce the Fund&#8217;s income from such securities.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred
stock, like common stock, represents an equity ownership in an issuer. Generally, preferred stock has a priority of claim over common
stock in dividend payments and upon liquidation of the issuer. Unlike common stock, preferred stock does not usually have voting rights.
Preferred stock in some instances is convertible into common stock. Although they are equity securities, preferred stocks have characteristics
of both debt and common stock. Like debt, their promised income is contractually fixed. Like common stock, they do not have rights to
precipitate bankruptcy proceedings or collection activities in the event of missed payments. Other equity characteristics are their subordinated
position in an issuer&#8217;s capital structure and that their quality and value are heavily dependent on the profitability of the issuer
rather than on any legal claims to specific assets or cash flows.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Shares of preferred stock have a liquidation value

sectors, which are prominent issuers of preferred stock. They may also be affected by actual and anticipated changes or ambiguities in
the tax status of the security and by actual and anticipated changes or ambiguities in tax laws, such as changes in corporate and individual
income tax rates, and in the dividends received deduction for corporate taxpayers or the lower rates applicable to certain dividends.</p>

by preferred stock may become onerous when interest rates fall below the rate payable on the stock or for other reasons, the issuer may
redeem preferred stock, generally after an initial period of call protection in which the stock is not redeemable. Thus, in declining
interest rate environments in particular, the Fund&#8217;s holdings of higher dividend-paying preferred stocks may be reduced and the

authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Fund may

in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may
be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well
as capital loss. Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent
any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date.
These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments. The sale of a warrant results in a long or short-term
capital gain or loss depending on the period for which the warrant is held.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund has agreed to purchase securities from financial
institutions subject to the seller&#8217;s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed-upon time and price (&#8220;repurchase agreements&#8221;).
The financial institutions with whom the Fund enters into repurchase agreements are banks and broker/dealers, which the Investment Adviser
considers creditworthy. The seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain the value of the securities as collateral,
subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The Investment Adviser monitors the mark-to-market
of the value of the collateral, and, if necessary, requires the seller to maintain additional securities, so that the value of the collateral
is not less than the repurchase price. Default by or bankruptcy of the seller would, however, expose the Fund to possible loss because
of adverse market action or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities.</p>

a significant portion of its net assets in common stocks. Common stocks represent an ownership interest in a company. The Fund may also
invest in securities that can be exercised for or converted into common stocks (such as convertible preferred stock). Common stocks and
similar equity securities are more volatile and more risky than some other forms of investment. Therefore, the value of your investment
in the Fund may sometimes decrease instead of increase. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes in investors&#8217;
perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, the general condition of the relevant stock market or when political or economic
events affecting the issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates, as the costs of capital
rise for issuers. Because convertible securities can be converted into equity securities, their values will normally increase or decrease
as the values of the underlying equity securities increase or decrease. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are structurally
subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company&#8217;s capital structure in terms of priority to
corporate income and assets and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such
issuers.</p>

the Fund&#8217;s Distribution Policy, the Fund makes monthly distributions to Stockholders at a rate that may include periodic distributions
of its net income and net capital gains (&#8220;Net Earnings&#8221;), or from return-of-capital. For any fiscal year where total cash
distributions exceeded Net Earnings (the &#8220;Excess&#8221;), the Excess would decrease the Fund&#8217;s total assets and, as a result,
would have the likely effect of increasing the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio. There is a risk that the total Net Earnings from the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio would not be great enough to offset the amount of cash distributions paid to Stockholders. If this were to be the case, the
Fund&#8217;s assets would be depleted, and there is no guarantee that the Fund would be able to replace the assets. In addition, in order
to make such distributions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio, including securities purchased with the
proceeds of the Offering, at a time when independent investment judgment might not dictate such action. Furthermore, such assets used
to make distributions will not be available for investment pursuant to the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. The Fund adopted the Distribution
Policy in 2002, and during recent years the Fund&#8217;s distributions have exceeded its Net Earnings. The Fund may use the proceeds
of the Offering to maintain the Distribution Policy by providing funding for future distributions, which may constitute a return of capital
to Stockholders and lower the tax basis in their Shares which, for the taxable Stockholders, will defer any potential gains until the
Shares are sold. For the taxable Stockholders, the portion of distribution that constitutes ordinary income and/or capital gains is taxable
to such Stockholders in the year the distribution is declared. A return of capital is non-taxable to the extent of the Stockholder&#8217;s
basis in the shares. The Stockholders would reduce their basis (but not below zero) in the Shares by the amount of the distribution and
therefore may result in an increase in the amount of any taxable gain on a subsequent disposition of such Shares, even if such Shares
are sold at a loss to the Stockholder&#8217;s original investment amount. Any return of capital will be separately identified when Stockholders
receive their tax statements. Any return of capital that exceeds cost basis may be treated as capital gain. Stockholders are advised
to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund. The Fund may need to raise additional
capital in order to maintain the Distribution Policy.</p>

to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. The Fund&#8217;s successful pursuit of its investment objective depends
upon the Investment Adviser&#8217;s ability to find and exploit market inefficiencies with respect to undervalued securities. Such situations
occur infrequently and sporadically and may be difficult to predict and may not result in a favorable pricing opportunity that allows
the Investment Adviser to fulfill the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. The Investment Adviser&#8217;s security selections and other
investment decisions might produce losses or cause the Fund to underperform when compared to other funds with similar investment goals.
If one or more key individuals leave the employ of the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser may not be able to hire qualified replacements
or may require an extended time to do so. This could prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Investment Adviser
may also benefit from the Offering because its fee is based on the assets of the Fund, which could be perceived as a conflict of interest.</p>

fees. To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment company securities, those assets will be subject to the risks

financial leverage, the securities of other investment companies in which the Fund invests may be leveraged, which will subject the Fund
to the risks associated with the use of leverage. Such risks include, among other things, the likelihood of greater volatility of the
net asset value and market price of such shares; the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on the borrowings of such investment companies,
or in the dividend rates on preferred shares that they must pay, will cause the yield on the shares of such companies to fluctuate more
than the yield generated by unleveraged shares; and the effect of leverage in a declining market, which is likely to cause a greater
decline in the net asset value of such shares than if such companies did not use leverage, which may result in a greater decline in the
market price of such shares.</p>

its &#8220;conversion value&#8221; (the security&#8217;s worth, at market value, if converted into the underlying common stock). The
investment value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates
increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors may also have an effect on the
convertible security&#8217;s investment value. The conversion value of a convertible security is determined by the market price of the
underlying common stock. If the conversion value is low relative to the investment value, the price of the convertible security is governed
principally by its investment value. Generally, the conversion value decreases as the convertible security approaches maturity. To the
extent the market price of the underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible security
will be increasingly influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security generally will sell at a premium over its conversion
value by the extent to which investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding a fixed income security.</p>

at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible security&#8217;s governing instrument. If a convertible security

underlying common stock or sell it to a third party. Any of these actions could have an adverse effect on the Fund&#8217;s ability to
achieve its investment objective.</p>

Fund may not be able to reinvest the proceeds at comparable rates of return. Preferred securities 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 securities 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 will be subject to greater credit risk than those debt instruments. Preferred securities may be substantially less liquid

and by changes in the value of the properties they own. Mortgage REITs invest primarily in mortgages and similar real estate interests
and receive interest payments from the owners of the mortgaged properties. They are paid interest by the owners of the financed properties.
Mortgage REITs will be affected by changes in creditworthiness of borrowers and changes in interest rates. Hybrid REITs invest both in
real property and in mortgages. Equity and mortgage REITs are dependent upon management skills, may not be diversified and are subject
to the risks of financing projects.</p>

To the extent the distributions from a particular REIT exceed the Fund&#8217;s basis in such REIT, the Fund will generally recognize
gain. In part because REIT distributions often include a nontaxable return of capital, Fund distributions to Stockholders may also include
a nontaxable return of capital. Stockholders that receive such a distribution will also reduce their tax basis in their shares of the

weekly and on the last business day of each month, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE American (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern
time). In computing net asset value, portfolio securities of the Fund are valued at their current market values determined on the basis
of market quotations. If market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined by the Investment
Adviser, as the Valuation Designee. The Fund&#8217;s investments in closed-end funds or ETFs whose shares are listed on a national securities
exchange are valued using the market price at the close of the NYSE American or such other exchange on which they are listed. Private
funds and non-traded closed-end funds are fair valued based on the Fund&#8217;s fair valuation policies and procedures. Fair valuation
involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value
that could be realized upon the sale of the security. Non-dollar-denominated securities are valued as of the close of the NYSE American
at the closing price of such securities in their principal trading market, but may be valued at fair value if subsequent events occurring
before the computation of net asset value materially have affected the value of the securities.</p>

the Fund at times when the Fund is not open for business. As a result, the Fund&#8217;s net asset value may change at times when it is
not possible to purchase or sell shares of the Fund. The Fund may use a third party pricing service to assist it in determining the market
value of securities in the Fund&#8217;s portfolio. The Fund&#8217;s net asset value per Share is calculated by dividing the value of
the Fund&#8217;s total assets (the value of the securities the Fund holds plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not
yet received), less accrued expenses of the Fund, less the Fund&#8217;s other liabilities by the total number of Shares outstanding.</p>

Adviser, as the Valuation Designee, shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Readily marketable securities not

traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined
as reflected on the consolidated tape at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Securities
trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (&#8220;NASDAQ&#8221;) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Readily marketable securities

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund initiated a fixed, monthly distribution
to stockholders in 2002 which, with interim adjustments and extensive disclosure, continues to be a high-level managed distribution policy.
The Distribution Policy has been maintained through the historic economic volatility, increased regulatory scrutiny and challenging markets
of the intervening years.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">During recent years, the Fund&#8217;s investments
made in accordance with its objective have failed to provide adequate income to meet the requirements of the Distribution Policy. Nevertheless,
the Board continues to believe that the Fund&#8217;s objective and strategy are complementary to the Fund&#8217;s commitment, through
the Distribution Policy, to provide regular distributions which increase liquidity and provide flexibility to individual Stockholders.
The Investment Adviser seeks to achieve net investment returns that exceed the amount of the Fund&#8217;s managed distributions, although
there is no guarantee that the Investment Adviser will be successful in this regard.&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>&#160;</i></b></p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>What are the features of the Distribution Policy?</i></b></p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Distribution Policy provides a regular monthly
distribution to Stockholders that is adjusted through an annual resetting of the monthly distribution amount per share based on the Fund&#8217;s
net asset value on the last business day in October. The terms of the Distribution Policy have been reviewed and are approved at least
annually by the Fund&#8217;s Board and can be modified at the Board&#8217;s discretion. To the extent that distributions exceed the current
Net Earnings of the Fund, the balance of the amounts paid out will be generated from sales of portfolio securities held by the Fund and
will be distributed either as short-term or long-term capital gains or a tax-free return-of- capital. Although return of capital distributions
may not be taxable, such distributions may reduce a Stockholder&#8217;s cost basis in his or her Shares, and therefore may result in
an increase in the amount of any taxable gain on a subsequent disposition of such Shares, even if such Shares are sold at a loss to the
Stockholder&#8217;s original investment amount. To the extent these distributions are not represented by net investment income and capital
gains, they will not represent yield or investment return on the Fund&#8217;s investment portfolio. As shown on page  35 in the
table which identifies the constituent components of the Fund&#8217;s distributions under its Managed Distribution Policy for years 2020-2024,
a majority of the distributions that the Fund made to its Stockholders for 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2024 consisted of a return of its Stockholders&#8217;
capital, and not of income or gains generated from the Fund&#8217;s investment portfolio, and substantially all of the distributions
that the Fund made to its Stockholders for 2022 consisted of a return of its Stockholders&#8217; capital, and not of income or gains
generated from the Fund&#8217;s investment portfolio. A return-of-capital distribution reduces the tax basis (but not below zero) of
an investor&#8217;s shares in the Fund. The Fund plans to maintain the Distribution Policy even if a return-of-capital distribution would
exceed an investor&#8217;s tax basis and therefore be a taxable distribution. The Board currently plans to maintain this Distribution
Policy even if regulatory requirements would make part of a return-of-capital, necessary to maintain the distribution, taxable to Stockholders
and to disclose that portion of the distribution that is classified as ordinary income. Although it has no current intention to do so,
the Board may terminate the Distribution Policy at any time and such termination may have an adverse effect on the market price for the
Fund&#8217;s Shares.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>What are the benefits of the Distribution Policy?</i></b></p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Distribution Policy historically has maintained
a stable, high rate of distribution. The Board remains convinced that the Fund&#8217;s Stockholders are well served by a policy of regular
distributions which increase liquidity and provide flexibility to individual Stockholders in managing their investments. Stockholders
have the option of reinvesting all or a portion of these distributions in additional Shares through the Fund&#8217;s dividend reinvestment
plan or receiving them in cash. For more information regarding the Fund&#8217;s dividend reinvestment plan, Stockholders should carefully
read the description of the dividend reinvestment plan contained in the Fund&#8217;s Reports to Stockholders.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>What are the risks of the Distribution Policy?</i></b></p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund makes level distributions on a monthly basis
and these distributions are not tied to the Fund&#8217;s net investment income and capital gains and may not represent yield or investment
return on the Fund&#8217;s portfolio. Under the Distribution Policy, the Fund makes monthly distributions to Stockholders at a rate that
may include periodic distributions of its Net Earnings or a return of capital. As noted above, Stockholders have the option of reinvesting
all or a portion of these distributions in additional shares of the Fund through the Fund&#8217;s dividend reinvestment plan or receiving
them in cash. In any fiscal year where total cash distributions exceed Net Earnings and unrealized gain or loss for the year, such excess
will decrease the Fund&#8217;s total assets and, as a result, will have the likely effect of increasing the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio.
There is a risk that the total Net Earnings and unrealized gain or loss for years from the Fund&#8217;s portfolio would not be great
enough to fully offset the amount of cash distributions paid to Fund stockholders. If this were to be the case, the Fund&#8217;s assets
would be partially reduced by an equal amount, and there is no guarantee that the Fund would be able to replace the assets. In addition,
in order to make such distributions, the Fund may need to sell a portion of its investment portfolio at a time when independent investment
judgment might not dictate such action. Furthermore, the cash used to make distributions will not be available for investment pursuant
to the Fund&#8217;s investment objective.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Funds maintain varying degrees of cash levels pursuant
to market conditions and the judgment of the portfolio managers. In addition, portfolio managers must raise cash periodically to cover
operating expenses. For any fund, to the extent that cash is held at any given time for operating expenses or other purposes, it will
not be available for investment pursuant to that fund&#8217;s investment objective. In addition to these general cash requirements, a
fund&#8217;s distribution policy may also require that securities be sold to raise cash for those stockholders who elect to take cash
distributions rather than reinvest in shares of the fund, in which case, it will also not be available for investment pursuant to the
fund&#8217;s investment objective. It is possible that a situation will occur where the Distribution Policy contributes to a reduction
of assets over an extended period of time such that the assets of the Fund are reduced to a point where the Fund would no longer be economically
viable. In such event, the Fund would need to take additional actions, which may include, for example, liquidation or merger, to address
the situation. While this is one of the risk factors of any managed distribution policy, including the Distribution Policy, it is important
to note that the Distribution Policy was not designed to be a mechanism for the dissolution of the Fund or a short-term liquidation policy,
and it is not the intention of the Board to allow the Fund to self-liquidate through the unsupervised effects of the Distribution Policy.
The Board monitors the Distribution Policy and the Fund&#8217;s asset levels regularly, and remains ready to modify the terms of the
Distribution Policy if, in its judgment, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Fund and its Stockholders. The Board may
consider additional rights offerings in the future.</p>

1940 Act and Rule 19a-1 thereunder require the Fund to provide a written statement accompanying any such payment that adequately discloses
its source or sources, other than net investment income. Thus, if the source of some or all of the dividend or other distribution were
the original capital contribution of the Stockholder, and the payment amounted to a return of capital, the Fund would be required to
provide written disclosure to that effect. Nevertheless, persons who periodically receive the payment of a dividend or other distribution
may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits when they are not. Stockholders should read any written disclosure provided
pursuant to Section 19(a) and Rule 19a-1 carefully, and should not assume that the source of any distribution from the Fund is net profit.
A return of capital distribution does not reflect positive investment performance. Stockholders should not draw any conclusions about
the Fund&#8217;s investment performance from the amount of its managed distributions or from the terms of the Distribution Policy. When
the Fund issues a written disclosure pursuant to Section 19(a) and Rule 19a-1, the Fund will refer to such a notice as a &#8220;Rule

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund operates a dividend reinvestment plan (the
&#8220;Plan&#8221;), administered by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the &#8220;Agent&#8221;), pursuant to which the Fund&#8217;s income
dividends or capital gains or other distributions (each, a &#8220;Distribution&#8221; and collectively, &#8220;Distributions&#8221;),
net of any applicable U.S. withholding tax, are reinvested in shares of the Fund.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Stockholders automatically participate in the Fund&#8217;s
Plan, unless and until an election is made to withdraw from the Plan on behalf of such participating Stockholder. Stockholders who do
not wish to have Distributions automatically reinvested should so notify the Agent at 48 Wall Street, 23rd Floor, New York, NY 10005.
Under the Plan, the Fund&#8217;s Distributions to Stockholders are reinvested in full and fractional shares as described below.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">When the Fund declares a Distribution, the Agent,
on the Stockholder&#8217;s behalf, will (i) receive additional authorized shares from the Fund either newly issued or repurchased from
Stockholders by the Fund and held as treasury stock (&#8220;Newly Issued Shares&#8221;) or (ii) purchase outstanding shares on the open
market, on the NYSE American or elsewhere, with cash allocated to it by the Fund (&#8220;Open Market Purchases&#8221;).</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The method for determining the number of Newly Issued
Shares received when Distributions are reinvested will be determined by dividing the amount of the Distribution either by the Fund&#8217;s
last reported net asset value per share or by a price equal to the average closing price of the Fund over the five trading days preceding
the payment date of the Distribution, whichever is lower. However, if the last reported net asset value of the Fund&#8217;s shares is
higher than the average closing price of the Fund over the five trading days preceding the payment date of the Distribution (<i>i.e.</i>,
the Fund is selling at a discount), shares may be acquired by the Agent in Open Market Purchases and allocated to the reinvesting Stockholders
based on the average cost of such Open Market Purchases. Upon notice from the Fund, the Agent will receive the Distribution in cash and
will purchase shares of common stock in the open market, on the NYSE American or elsewhere, for the participants&#8217; accounts, except
that the Agent will endeavor to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the Fund to issue the remaining shares if, following
the commencement of the purchases, the market value of the shares, including brokerage commissions, exceeds the net asset value at the
time of valuation. These remaining shares will be issued by the Fund at a price equal to the net asset value at the time of valuation.</p>

purchases in the open market before the Agent has completed its purchases, or remaining shares cannot be issued by the Fund because the
Fund declared a dividend or Distribution payable only in cash, and the market price exceeds the net asset value of the shares, the average
share purchase price paid by the Agent may exceed the net asset value of the shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than

with respect to Open Market Purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such Distribution) to the purchase on the open market of
Fund shares for such Plan participant&#8217;s account. Such purchases will be made on or after the payable date for such Distribution,
and in no event more than 30 days after such date except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchase is necessary to comply
with applicable provisions of federal securities laws. The Agent may aggregate a Plan participant&#8217;s purchases with the purchases

by providing written notice to the Agent at least 30 days prior to the applicable Distribution payment date. The Agent will maintain
all Stockholder accounts in the Plan and furnish written confirmations of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed
by Stockholders for personal and tax records. The Agent will hold shares in the account of the Plan participant in non-certificated form
in the name of the participant, and each Stockholder&#8217;s proxy will include those shares purchased pursuant to the Plan. The Agent

INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS</b></p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The following is a summary discussion of certain
U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a Stockholder that acquires, holds and/or disposes of the Fund&#8217;s Shares,
and reflects provisions of the Code, existing Treasury regulations, rulings published by the Internal Revenue Service (the &#8220;IRS&#8221;),
and other applicable authority, as of the date of this prospectus. These authorities are subject to change by legislative or administrative
action, possibly with retroactive effect. The following discussion is only a summary of some of the important tax considerations generally
applicable to investments in the Fund and the discussion set forth herein does not constitute tax advice. Except as expressly provided
below, this discussion addresses only the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment by U.S. Holders (as defined in the Statement
of Additional Information) and assumes that such Stockholders will hold Shares as capital assets, which generally means as property held
for investment. For more detailed information regarding tax considerations, see the Statement of Additional Information under the heading
&#8220;Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.&#8221; There may be other tax considerations applicable to particular
investors. In addition, income earned through an investment in the Fund may be subject to state, local and foreign taxes.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund intends to elect to be treated and to qualify
each year for taxation as a regulated investment company (a &#8220;RIC&#8221;) under Subchapter M of the Code. In order for the Fund
to qualify as a RIC, it must, among other requirements, meet income and asset diversification tests each year. If the Fund so qualifies
and satisfies certain distribution requirements, the Fund (but not its Stockholders) will not be subject to federal income tax to the
extent it distributes its investment company taxable income and net capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net
short-term capital loss) in a timely manner to its Stockholders in the form of dividends or capital gain distributions. The Code imposes
a 4% nondeductible excise tax on RICs, such as the Fund, to the extent they do not meet certain distribution requirements by the end
of each calendar year. The Fund anticipates meeting these distribution requirements.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund intends to make monthly distributions of
investment company taxable income after payment of the Fund&#8217;s operating expenses. Unless a Stockholder is ineligible to participate
or elects otherwise, all distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares pursuant to the Fund&#8217;s dividend reinvestment
plan (the &#8220;Plan&#8221;). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, all dividends are generally taxable whether a Stockholder takes
them in cash or they are reinvested pursuant to the Plan in additional Shares. Distributions of the Fund&#8217;s investment company taxable
income (including short-term capital gains) will generally be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund&#8217;s current and
accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions of the Fund&#8217;s net capital gains (&#8220;capital gain dividends&#8221;), if any,
are taxable to Stockholders as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time Shares have been held by Stockholders. Distributions,
if any, in excess of the Fund&#8217;s earnings and profits will first reduce the adjusted tax basis of a holder&#8217;s Shares and, after
that basis has been reduced to zero, will constitute capital gains to the Stockholder (assuming the Shares are held as a capital asset).
See below for a summary of the maximum tax rates applicable to capital gains (including capital gain dividends). A corporation that owns
Shares generally will not be entitled to the dividends received deduction with respect to all of the dividends it receives from the Fund.
Fund dividend payments that are attributable to qualifying dividends received by the Fund from certain domestic corporations may be designated
by the Fund as being eligible for the dividends received deduction. There can be no assurance as to what portion of Fund dividend payments
may be classified as qualifying dividends. With respect to the monthly distributions of investment company taxable income described above,
it may be the case that any such distributions would result in a return of capital to the Stockholder. The determination of the character
for U.S. federal income tax purposes of any distribution from the Fund (<i>i.e.</i>, ordinary income dividends, capital gains dividends,
qualifying dividends, return of capital distributions) will be made as of the end of the Fund&#8217;s taxable year. Generally, no later
than 60 days after the close of its taxable year, the Fund will provide Stockholders with a written notice designating the amount of
any capital gain distributions or other distributions. See &#8220;Distribution Policy&#8221; for a more complete description of such
returns and the risks associated with them.</p>

or a portion thereof for investment and be taxed at corporate rates on the amount retained. In such case, it may designate the retained
amount as undistributed capital gains in a notice to its Stockholders who will be treated as if each received a distribution of such
Stockholder&#8217;s pro rata share of such gain, with the result that each Stockholder will (i) be required to report such Stockholder&#8217;s
pro rata share of such gain on such Stockholder&#8217;s tax return as long-term capital gain, (ii) receive a refundable tax credit for
such Stockholder&#8217;s pro rata share of tax paid by the Fund on the gain and (iii) increase the tax basis for such Stockholder&#8217;s
Shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Under current law, certain income distributions paid
by the Fund to individual taxpayers may be taxed at rates equal to those applicable to net long-term capital gains (generally, 20%).
This tax treatment applies only if certain holding period and other requirements are satisfied by the Stockholder with respect to its
Shares, and the dividends are attributable to qualified dividends received by the Fund itself. For this purpose, &#8220;qualified dividends&#8221;
means dividends received by the Fund from certain United States corporations (excluding REITs) and certain qualifying foreign corporations,
provided that the Fund satisfies certain holding period and other requirements in respect of the stock of such corporations. In the case
of securities lending transactions, payments in lieu of dividends are not qualified dividends. The Fund&#8217;s dividends, other than
qualified dividends and capital gain dividends, will be fully taxable at ordinary income tax rates unless further legislative action
is taken. While certain income distributions to Stockholders may qualify as qualified dividends, the Fund&#8217;s seeks to provide dividends
regardless of whether they so qualify. As additional special rules apply to determine whether a distribution will be a qualified dividend,
investors should consult their tax advisors. Investors should also see the Fund&#8217;s Statement of Additional Information under the
heading &#8220;Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences&#8221; for more information relating to qualified dividends.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Dividends received by the Fund from REITs generally
are not expected to qualify for treatment as qualified dividend income. However, to the extent the Fund invests in REITs, the Fund may
designate dividends it pays to its Stockholders as &#8220;Section 199A dividends&#8221; so that individual and non-corporate Stockholders
may be eligible for a 20% deduction with respect to such dividends, provided such Stockholders have satisfied the holding period requirement
for the Fund&#8217;s Shares and certain other conditions. The amount of Section 199A dividends that the Fund may pay and report to its
Stockholders is limited to the excess of the ordinary REIT dividends, other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends
designated as qualified dividend income that the Fund receives from REITs for a taxable year over the Fund&#8217;s expenses allocable
to such dividends.</p>

by the Fund on foreign securities may be subject to income, withholding or other taxes imposed by foreign countries and U.S. possessions
(collectively &#8220;foreign taxes&#8221;) that would reduce the return on its securities. Tax conventions between certain countries
and the United States, however, may reduce or eliminate foreign taxes, and many foreign countries do not impose taxes on capital gains
in respect of investments by foreign investors. If more than 50% of the value of the Fund&#8217;s net assets at the close of its taxable
year consists of securities of foreign corporations, it will be eligible to, and may, file an election with the IRS that will enable
Stockholders, in effect, to receive the benefit of the foreign tax credit with respect to any foreign taxes paid by the Fund. Pursuant
to the election, the Fund would treat those taxes as dividends paid to Stockholders and each Stockholder (1) would be required to include
in gross income, and treat as paid by such Stockholder, a proportionate share of those taxes, (2) would be required to treat such share
of those taxes and of any dividend paid by the Fund that represents income from foreign or U.S. possessions sources as such stockholder&#8217;s
own income from those sources, and, if certain conditions are met, (3) could either deduct such Stockholder&#8217;s proportionate share
of the foreign taxes deemed paid in computing taxable income or, alternatively, use the foregoing information in calculating the foreign

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest in other RICs. In general, the
Code taxes a RIC which satisfies certain requirements as a pass-through entity by permitting a qualifying RIC to deduct dividends paid
to its stockholders in computing the RIC&#8217;s taxable income. A qualifying RIC is also generally permitted to pass through the character
of certain types of its income when it makes distributions. For example, a RIC may distribute ordinary dividends to its stockholders,
capital gain dividends, or other types of dividends which effectively pass through the character of the RIC&#8217;s income to its stockholders,
including the Fund.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Selling Stockholders will generally recognize gain
or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the Stockholder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the Shares sold and the amount received
in exchange therefor. If the Shares are held as a capital asset, the gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss. Under current law,
the maximum tax rate applicable to capital gains recognized by individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers is (i) the same as the maximum
ordinary income tax rate for gains recognized on the sale of capital assets held for one year or less or (ii) generally, 20% for gains
recognized on the sale of capital assets held for more than one year (as well as certain capital gain dividends). Any loss on a disposition
of Shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any capital gain dividends received
with respect to those Shares. The use of capital losses is subject to limitations. For purposes of determining whether Shares have been
held for six months or less, the holding period is suspended for any periods during which the Stockholder&#8217;s risk of loss is diminished
as a result of holding one or more other positions in substantially similar or related property, or through certain options or short
sales. Any loss realized on a sale or exchange of Shares will be disallowed to the extent those Shares are replaced by other substantially
identical Shares within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of disposition of the Shares (whether
through the reinvestment of distributions, which could occur, for example, if the Stockholder is a participant in the Plan or otherwise).
In that event, the basis of the replacement Shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">If the Fund utilizes leverage through borrowing,
it may be restricted by loan covenants with respect to the declaration of, and payment of, dividends in certain circumstances. Limits
on the Fund&#8217;s payments of dividends may prevent the Fund from meeting the distribution requirements, described above, and may,
therefore, jeopardize the Fund&#8217;s qualification for taxation as a RIC and possibly subject the Fund to the 4% excise tax. The Fund
will endeavor to avoid restrictions on its ability to make dividend payments.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Section 6045B of the Code generally imposes certain
reporting requirements on the Fund with respect to any organizational action that affects the tax basis of the Shares for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. The Fund has historically made return of capital distributions (&#8220;ROC Distributions&#8221;) to certain Stockholders
and, to the extent such payments continue, the Fund will generally be required to file IRS Form 8937, Report of Organizational Actions
Affecting Basis of Securities (&#8220;Form 8937&#8221;), with the IRS and deliver an information statement to certain Stockholders, subject
to certain exceptions. Generally, the Fund must file Form 8937 with the IRS on or before the 45th day following the corporate action
or, if earlier, January 15 of the year following the calendar year of the corporate action. In addition, the Fund must furnish the same
information to certain Stockholders on or before January 15 of the year following the calendar year of the corporate action. However,
the Fund generally would not be required to file Form 8937 or furnish this information to Stockholders provided it posts the requisite
information on its primary public website by the due date for filing Form 8937 with the IRS and such information is available on its
website (or any successor organization&#8217;s website) for 10 years.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As the Fund will generally not be able to determine
whether a distribution during the year will be out of its earnings and profits (and, therefore, whether such distribution should be treated
as a dividend or a ROC Distribution for these purposes) until the close of the tax year, the Fund does not intend to file Form 8937 until
after the end of the current calendar year. Based on the limited interpretive guidance currently available, the Fund believes that its
treatment of ROC Distributions and its current intended action regarding Form 8937 continue to be consistent with the requirements of
Form 8937, Section 6045B and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Fund intends to utilize its best efforts to determine the tax characterization
of the Fund&#8217;s distributions as soon as practicable following the close of the year and timely comply with the abovementioned Section
6045B requirements, to the extent applicable. The Fund and its management do not believe that the Fund will be subject to substantial
penalties if it utilizes its best efforts to determine the tax characteristics of its distributions as soon as practicable following
the close of the year to comply with Form 8937 and Section 6045B. The Fund may be subject to substantial penalties to the extent that
it fails to timely comply with its Section 6045B reporting obligations. Each Stockholder is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding
the application of Section 6045B to its individual circumstances. A copy of the Fund&#8217;s most recently filed Form 8937 is available
on the Fund&#8217;s website, <span style="text-decoration: underline">www.cornerstonestrategicinvestmentfund.com</span>.</p>

of Additional Information under the heading &#8220;Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences&#8221;) that is an
individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, will be subject to a
3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the U.S. Holder&#8217;s &#8220;net investment income&#8221; for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess
of the U.S. Holder&#8217;s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which, in the case of individuals,
will be between $125,000 and $250,000 depending on the individual&#8217;s circumstances). A U.S. Holder&#8217;s &#8220;net investment
income&#8221; may generally include portfolio income (such as interest and dividends), and income and net gains from an activity that
is subject to certain passive activity limitations, unless such income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct
of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a U.S. holder
that is an individual, estate or trust, you should consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Net Investment Income
Tax to your ownership and disposition of shares of the Fund.</p>

commonly referred to as &#8220;FATCA&#8221;), and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, generally provide that a 30% withholding
tax may be imposed on payments of U.S. source income, including U.S. source interest and dividends, to certain non-U.S. entities unless
such entities enter into an agreement with the IRS to disclose the name, address and taxpayer identification number of certain U.S. persons
that own, directly or indirectly, interests in such entities, as well as certain other information relating to such interests. While
withholding under FATCA would have also applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Shares on or after
January 1, 2019, proposed Treasury regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. The preamble to these
proposed regulations indicates that taxpayers may rely on them pending their finalization. Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult
with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications and obligations of FATCA.</p>

consider such factors as the market price of the Shares, the net asset value of the Shares, the liquidity of the assets of the Fund,
effect on the Fund&#8217;s expenses, whether such transactions would impair the Fund&#8217;s status as a regulated investment company

at any time by a written instrument signed or adopted by a vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of the Fund that
are entitled to vote in the election of such Director. The Charter requires the favorable vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of
the outstanding shares of each class of the Fund, voting as a class, then entitled to vote to approve, adopt or authorize certain transactions
with 5%-or-greater holders of the Fund&#8217;s outstanding shares and their affiliates or associates, unless two-thirds of the Board
of Directors have approved by resolution a memorandum of understanding with such holders, in which case normal voting requirements would
be in effect. For purposes of these provisions, a 5%-or-greater holder of outstanding shares (a &#8220;Principal Stockholder&#8221;)
refers to any person who, whether directly or indirectly and whether alone or together with its affiliates and associates, beneficially
owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Fund. The transactions subject to these special approval requirements
are: (i) the merger or consolidation of the Fund or any subsidiary of the Fund with or into any Principal Stockholder; (ii) the issuance
of any securities of the Fund to any Principal Stockholder for cash (other than pursuant to any automatic distribution reinvestment plan
or pursuant to any offering in which such Principal Stockholder acquires securities that represent no greater a percentage of any class
or series of securities being offered than the percentage of any class of shares beneficially owned by such Principal Stockholder immediately
prior to such offering or, in the case of securities, offered in respect of another class or series, the percentage of such other class
or series beneficially owned by such Principal Stockholder immediately prior to such offering); (iii) the sale, lease or exchange of
all or any substantial part of the assets of the Fund to any Principal Stockholder (except assets having an aggregate fair market value
of less than $1,000,000, aggregating for the purpose of such computation all assets sold, leased or exchanged in any series of similar

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Board believes that the significance of each
Director&#8217;s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience that is important
for one Director may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level, with no single
Director, or particular factor, being indicative of the Board&#8217;s effectiveness. The Board determined that each of the Directors
is qualified to serve as a Director of the Fund based on a review of the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each Director.
In reaching this determination, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, including, among other things: character and integrity;
ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided, to exercise effective business judgment in protecting
stockholder interests and to interact effectively with the other Directors, the Investment Adviser, other service providers, counsel
and the independent registered accounting firm (&#8220;independent auditors&#8221;); and willingness and ability to commit the time necessary
to perform the duties of a Director. Each Director&#8217;s ability to perform his duties effectively is evidenced by his experience or
achievements in the following areas: management or board experience in the investment management industry or companies or organizations
in other fields, educational background and professional training; and experience as a Director of the Fund. In addition, the Board values
the diverse skill sets and experiences that each Director contributes. The Board considers that its diversity as a whole is as a result
of a combination of Directors who are working in the private, as opposed to public, sector, those that are retired from professional
work and the various perspectives that each Director provides as a result of his/her present experiences and his/her background. Information
discussing the specific experience, skills, attributes and qualifications of each Director which led to the Board&#8217;s determination
that the Director should serve in this capacity is provided below.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Board consists of ten individuals, three of whom
are Interested Directors. The Chairman of the Board, Mr. Ralph Bradshaw, one of the Interested Directors, is the President of the Fund,
the President of the Investment Adviser, and is the President and a director of Cornerstone Total Return Fund, Inc. Mr. Daniel Bradshaw,
the second Interested Director, is Chief Investment Officer of the Investment Adviser. Mr. Joshua Bradshaw, the third Interested Director,
is Chief Executive Officer of the Investment Adviser. The Board does not have a lead independent director because the Board believes
that its structure is sufficient to ensure active participation by all of its members and at the same time rely on the expertise and
knowledge of Mr. Ralph Bradshaw as the Chairman of the Board.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Board believes that its leadership structure
facilitates the orderly and efficient flow of information to the Directors from the Investment Adviser and other service providers with
respect to services provided to the Fund, potential conflicts of interest that could arise from these relationships and other risks that
the Fund may face. The Board further believes that its structure allows all of the Directors to participate in the full range of the
Board&#8217;s oversight responsibilities. The Board believes that the orderly and efficient flow of information and the ability to bring
each Director&#8217;s talents to bear in overseeing the Fund&#8217;s operations is important, in light of the size and complexity of
the Fund and the risks that the Fund faces. The Board and its committees review their structure regularly, to help ensure that it remains
appropriate as the business and operations of the Fund and the environment in which the Fund operates changes.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Currently, the Board has an Audit Committee and a
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The responsibilities of each committee and its members are described below. The Board
convened four (4) times during the 2024 calendar year (including regularly scheduled and special meetings). Each of the Directors attended
at least seventy-five (75%) percent of the meetings held during the period for which he or she was a member.&#160;</p>

The Audit Committee has a written charter. The principal functions of the Audit Committee include but are not limited to, (i) the oversight

of the quality and integrity of the Fund&#8217;s financial statements and the independent audit thereof; and (iii) the approval, prior

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund has a standing Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee (the &#8220;N&amp;CG Committee&#8221;), which is currently comprised of Messrs. Dean, Greer, Maresca, Morris, Rogers
and Strauss and Ms. Malzahn, all of whom are Independent Directors. The N&amp;CG Committee has a written charter. In addition to its
responsibility to oversee the corporate governance of the Fund, the N&amp;CG Committee&#8217;s principal function is to identify and
select qualified candidates for the Board who have exhibited strong decision-making ability, substantial business experience, relevant
knowledge of the investment company industry (including closed-end funds), skills or technological expertise and exemplary personal integrity
and reputation. In addition, the N&amp;CG Committee seeks candidates that have experience and knowledge involving all of the service
providers of a registered investment company.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The N&amp;CG Committee will consider all nominees
recommended by stockholders of the Fund, so long as stockholders send their recommendations in writing to the Secretary of the Fund in
a manner consistent with the Fund&#8217;s By-laws. Specifically, the N&amp;CG Committee assesses all director nominees taking into account
several factors, including, but not limited to, issues such as the current needs of the Board and the nominee&#8217;s: (i) integrity,
honesty, and accountability; (ii) successful leadership experience and strong business acumen; (iii) forward-looking, strategic focus;
(iv) collegiality; (v) independence and absence of conflicts of interests; and (vi) ability to devote necessary time to meet Director
responsibilities. The N&amp;CG Committee does not have a policy with regard to considering diversity when identifying candidates for
election, but would expect to consider racial, gender and professional experience diversity when identifying future candidates. The N&amp;CG
Committee will ultimately recommend nominees that it believes will enhance the Board&#8217;s ability to effectively oversee, in an effective
manner, the affairs and business of the Fund. The N&amp;CG Committee will consider and evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by
applying the same criteria used to evaluate director-recommended candidates. The deadline for submitting a stockholder proposal for inclusion
in the Fund&#8217;s proxy statement and proxy for the Fund&#8217;s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is October 28, 2025. Stockholders wishing to submit proposals or director nominations
that are to be included in such proxy statement and proxy must have delivered notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices
of the Fund not later than the close of business on October 28, 2025. Stockholders are also advised to review the Fund&#8217;s By-laws,
which contain additional requirements with respect to advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. The N&amp;CG
Committee convened four (4) times during the 2024 calendar year.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Board oversees risk management for the Fund directly
and, as to certain matters, through its Audit and N&amp;CG Committees. The Board exercises its oversight in this regard primarily through
requesting and receiving reports from and otherwise working with the Fund&#8217;s senior officers (including the Fund&#8217;s Chief Compliance
Officer), portfolio management personnel of the Investment Adviser, the Fund&#8217;s independent auditors, legal counsel and personnel
from the Fund&#8217;s other service providers. At its regular quarterly meetings, the Board receives a report regarding risks applicable
to the Fund presented by the Investment Adviser and the Chief Compliance Officer. The Board has adopted, on behalf of the Fund, and periodically
reviews with the assistance of the Fund&#8217;s Chief Compliance Officer, policies and procedures designed to address certain risks associated
with the Fund&#8217;s activities. In addition, the Investment Adviser and the Fund&#8217;s other service providers also have adopted
policies, processes and procedures designed to identify, assess and manage certain risks associated with the Fund&#8217;s activities,
and the Board receives reports from service providers with respect to the operation of these policies, processes and procedures as required
and/or as the Board deems appropriate. The Board does not believe that a separate Risk Oversight Committee is necessary for effective
risk oversight at this time, but intends to continuously evaluate how it assesses risk and will consider again in the future whether
any changes to their current structure are prudent.</p>

unlawful practices in connection with the purchase or sale of securities by Access Persons. Each Code of Ethics permits Access Persons
to trade securities for their own accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund, and generally requires them
to report their personal securities transactions and holdings. The Fund&#8217;s Code of Ethics is included as an exhibit to the Fund&#8217;s

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Conflicts of interest may arise because the Fund&#8217;s

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><i>LIMITED RESOURCES</i>. The Portfolio Managers
cannot devote their full time and attention to the management of each of the accounts that they manage. Accordingly, the Portfolio Managers
may be limited in their ability to identify investment opportunities for each of the accounts that are as attractive as might be the
case if the Portfolio Managers were to devote substantially more attention to the management of a single account. The effects of this
potential conflict may be more pronounced where the accounts have different investment strategies.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><i>LIMITED INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES</i>. The other
investment fund of the Investment Adviser may have investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund. The Investment Adviser
may, from time to time, make recommendations which result in the purchase or sale of a particular security by its other investment fund
simultaneously with the Fund. If transactions on behalf of more than one investment fund during the same period increase the demand for
securities being purchased or the supply of securities being sold, there may be an adverse effect on price or quantity. It is the policy
of the Investment Adviser to allocate advisory recommendations and the placing of orders in a manner that it believes is equitable to
the accounts involved, including the Fund. When more than one investment fund of the Investment Adviser is purchasing or selling the
same security on a given day from the same broker-dealer, such transactions may be averaged as to price. See &#8220;Allocation of Brokerage&#8221;.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Decisions regarding the placement of orders to purchase
and sell investments for the Fund are made by the Investment Adviser, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors. A substantial
portion of the transactions in equity securities for the Fund will occur on domestic stock exchanges. Transactions on stock exchanges
involve the payment of brokerage commissions. In transactions on stock exchanges in the United States and some foreign exchanges, these
commissions are negotiated. However, on many foreign stock exchanges these commissions are fixed. In the case of securities traded in
the foreign and domestic over-the-counter markets, there is generally no stated commission, but the price usually includes an undisclosed
commission or markup. Over-the-counter transactions will generally be placed directly with a principal market maker, although the Fund
may place an over-the-counter order with a broker-dealer if a better price (including commission) and execution are available.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">It is anticipated that most purchase and sale transactions
involving fixed income securities will be with the issuer or an underwriter or with major dealers in such securities acting as principals.
Such transactions are normally effected on a net basis and generally do not involve payment of brokerage commissions. However, the cost
of securities purchased from an underwriter usually includes a commission paid by the issuer to the underwriter. Purchases or sales from
dealers will normally reflect the spread between the bid and ask price.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The policy of the Fund regarding transactions for
purchases and sales of securities is that primary consideration will be given to obtaining the most favorable prices and efficient executions
of transactions. Consistent with this policy, when securities transactions are effected on a stock exchange, the Fund&#8217;s policy
is to pay commissions which are considered fair and reasonable without necessarily determining that the lowest possible commissions are
paid in all circumstances. The Board of Directors of the Fund believes that a requirement always to seek the lowest commission cost could
impede effective management and preclude the Fund and the Investment Adviser from obtaining high quality brokerage and research services.
In seeking to determine the reasonableness of brokerage commissions paid in any transaction, the Investment Adviser may rely on its experience
and knowledge regarding commissions generally charged by various brokers and on its judgment in evaluating the brokerage and research
services received from the broker effecting the transaction. Such determinations are necessarily subjective and imprecise, as in most
cases an exact dollar value for those services is not ascertainable.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In seeking to implement the Fund&#8217;s policies,
the Investment Adviser will place transactions with those brokers and dealers who it believes provide the most favorable prices and which
are capable of providing efficient executions. If the Investment Adviser believes such price and execution are obtainable from more than
one broker or dealer, it may give consideration to placing transactions with those brokers and dealers who also furnish research or research
related services to the Fund or the Investment Adviser. Such services may include, but are not limited to, any one or more of the following:
information as to the availability of securities for purchase or sale; statistical or factual information or opinions pertaining to investments;
and appraisals or evaluations of securities. The information and services received by the Investment Adviser from brokers and dealers
may be of benefit in the management of accounts of other clients and may not in all cases benefit the Fund directly. While such services
are useful and important in supplementing its own research and facilities, the Investment Adviser believes the value of such services
is not determinable and does not significantly reduce its expenses.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund has adopted procedures under Rule 17a-7
of the 1940 Act to permit purchase and sales transactions to be effected between the Fund and other accounts that are managed by the
Investment Adviser. The Fund may from time to time engage in such transactions in accordance with these procedures. Securities considered
as investments for the Fund may also be appropriate for other investment accounts managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates.
Whenever decisions are made to buy or sell securities by the Fund and one or more of such other accounts simultaneously, the Investment
Adviser will allocate the security transactions (including &#8220;hot&#8221; issues) in a manner which it believes to be equitable under
the circumstances. As a result of such allocations, there may be instances where the Fund will not participate in a transaction that
is allocated among other accounts. If an aggregated order cannot be filled completely, allocations will generally be made on a pro rata
basis. An order may not be allocated on a pro rata basis where, for example: (i) consideration is given to an account with specialized
investment policies that coincide with the particulars of a specific investment; (ii) pro rata allocation would result in odd-lot or
de minimis amounts being allocated to a portfolio or other client; or (iii) where the Investment Adviser reasonably determines that departure
from a pro rata allocation is advisable. While these aggregation and allocation policies could have a detrimental effect on the price
or amount of the securities available to the Fund from time to time, it is the opinion of the Directors of the Fund that the benefits
from the Investment Adviser&#8217;s organization outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from exposure to simultaneous transactions.</p>

each year as a regulated investment company (a &#8220;RIC&#8221;) under the Code. Accordingly, the Fund must, among other things, (i)
derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income (including tax-exempt interest) from (a) dividends, interest, payments with
respect to certain securities loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other
income (including but not limited to gain from forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities
or currencies; and (b) net income from interests in &#8220;qualified publicly traded partnerships&#8221; (as defined in the Code); (ii)
diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of each taxable year (a) at least 50% of the value of the Fund&#8217;s total
assets is represented by cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, the securities of other regulated investment companies and
other securities, with such other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of
the Fund&#8217;s total assets and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer and (b) not more than 25% of
the value of the Fund&#8217;s total assets is invested in the securities (other than U.S. government securities and the securities of
other regulated investment companies) of (I) any one issuer; (II) any two or more issuers that the Fund controls and that are determined
to be engaged in the same business or similar or related trades or businesses or (III) any one or more &#8220;qualified publicly traded
partnerships&#8221; (as defined in the Code); and (iii) distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (as defined
in the Code, but without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and 90% of its tax-exempt interest income (net of certain deductions
and amortizable bond premiums) for such taxable year in accordance with the timing requirements imposed by the Code, so as to maintain
its RIC status and to avoid paying any U.S. federal income tax. For purposes of the 90% of gross income requirement described above,
the Code expressly provides the U.S. Treasury with authority to issue regulations that would exclude foreign currency gains from qualifying
income if such gains are not directly related to the Fund&#8217;s business of investing in stock or securities. While to date the U.S.
Treasury has not exercised this regulatory authority, there can be no assurance that it will not issue regulations in the future (possibly
with retroactive application) that would treat some or all of the Fund&#8217;s foreign currency gains as non-qualifying income. To the
extent it qualifies for treatment as a RIC and satisfies the above-mentioned distribution requirements, the Fund will not be subject
to U.S. federal income tax on income paid to its stockholders in the form of dividends or capital gain distributions.</p>

gains (that is, the excess of net gains from the sale of capital assets held more than one year over net losses from the sale of capital

taxable to U.S. Holders as long-term capital gain, regardless of how long a U.S. Holder has held the shares in the Fund. If a U.S. Holder&#8217;s
distributions are automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan and the Plan Administrator invests the distribution in shares acquired
on behalf of the U.S. Holder in open-market purchases, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. Holder will generally be treated
as having received a taxable distribution in the amount of the cash dividend that the U.S. Holder would have received if the U.S. Holder
had elected to receive cash. If a U.S. Holder&#8217;s distributions are automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan and the Plan Administrator
invests the distribution in newly issued shares of the Fund, the U.S. Holder will generally be treated as receiving a taxable distribution

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Under current law, certain income distributions paid
by the Fund to individual taxpayers are taxed at rates equal to those applicable to net long-term capital gains (generally, 20%). This
tax treatment applies only if certain holding period requirements and other requirements are satisfied by the U.S. Holder and the dividends
are attributable to qualified dividend income received by the Fund itself. For this purpose, &#8220;qualified dividend income&#8221;
means dividends received by the Fund from certain United States corporations (excluding REITs) and qualifying foreign corporations, provided
that the Fund satisfies certain holding period and other requirements in respect of the stock of such corporations. For these purposes,
a &#8220;qualified foreign corporation&#8221; means any foreign corporation if (i) such corporation is incorporated in a possession of
the United States, (ii) such corporation is eligible for benefits of a qualified comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States
and which includes an exchange of information program, or (iii) the stock of such corporation with respect to which such dividend is
paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. A &#8220;qualified foreign corporation&#8221; does
not include any foreign corporation which for the taxable year of the corporation in which the dividend was paid, or the preceding taxable
year, is a &#8220;passive foreign investment company&#8221; (as defined in the Code). In the case of securities lending transactions,
payments in lieu of dividends are not qualified dividends. The Fund&#8217;s dividends, other than qualified dividends and capital gains
dividends, will be fully taxable at ordinary income tax rates unless further legislative action is taken.</p>

by the Fund on foreign securities may be subject to income, withholding or other taxes imposed by foreign countries and U.S. possessions
(collectively &#8220;foreign taxes&#8221;) that would reduce the return on its securities. Tax conventions between certain countries
and the United States, however, may reduce or eliminate foreign taxes, and many foreign countries do not impose taxes on capital gains
in respect of investments by foreign investors. If more than 50% of the value of the Fund&#8217;s total assets at the close of its taxable
year consists of securities of foreign corporations, it will be eligible to, and may, file an election with the Internal Revenue Service
(the &#8220;IRS&#8221;) that will enable its U.S. Holders, in effect, to receive the benefit of the foreign tax credit with respect to
any foreign taxes paid by the Fund. Pursuant to the election, the Fund would treat those taxes as dividends paid to its U.S. Holders
and each U.S. Holder (1) would be required to include in gross income, and treat as paid by such U.S. Holder, a proportionate share of
those taxes, (2) would be required to treat such share of those taxes and of any dividend paid by the Fund that represents income from
foreign or U.S. possessions sources as such U.S. Holder&#8217;s own income from those sources, and, if certain conditions are met, (3)
could either deduct such U.S. Holder&#8217;s proportionate share of the foreign taxes deemed paid in computing taxable income or, alternatively
use the foregoing information in calculating the foreign tax credit against such U.S. Holder&#8217;s federal income tax liability (but
IRA accounts may not be able to use the foreign tax credit). The Fund will report to its stockholders shortly after each taxable year
their respective shares of foreign taxes paid and the income from sources within, and taxes paid to, foreign countries and U.S. possessions
if it makes this election. The rules relating to the foreign tax credit are complex. Each stockholder should consult his own tax adviser

distributions&#8221; received from such companies or on gain from the sale of stock in such companies, even if all income or gain actually
received by the Fund is timely distributed to its stockholders. The Fund would not be able to pass through to its stockholders any credit
or deduction for such a tax. An election may generally be available that would ameliorate these adverse tax consequences, but any such
election could require the Fund to recognize taxable income or gain (subject to tax distribution requirements) without the concurrent
receipt of cash and would require certain information to be furnished by the foreign corporation, which may not be provided. These investments
could also result in the treatment of associated capital gains as ordinary income. The Fund may limit and/or manage its holdings in passive
foreign investment companies to limit its tax liability or maximize its return from these investments. Dividends paid by passive foreign
investment companies will not qualify as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at reduced tax rates.</p>

within a 61-day period beginning 30 days before the redemption of the loss shares and ending 30 days after such date. Any disallowed
loss will result in an adjustment to the stockholder&#8217;s tax basis in some or all of the other shares acquired.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Dividends and distributions on the Fund&#8217;s shares
are generally subject to federal income tax as described herein to the extent they do not exceed the Fund&#8217;s realized income and
gains, even though such dividends and distributions may economically represent a return of a particular stockholder&#8217;s investment.
Such distributions are likely to occur in respect of shares purchased at a time when the Fund&#8217;s net asset value reflects gains
that are either unrealized or realized but not distributed. Such realized gains may be required to be distributed even when the Fund&#8217;s
net asset value also reflects unrealized losses. Certain distributions declared in October, November or December and paid in the following
January will be taxed to stockholders as if received on December 31 of the year in which they were declared. In addition, certain other
distributions made after the close of a taxable year of the Fund may be &#8220;spilled back&#8221; and treated as paid by the Fund (except
for purposes of the 4% excise tax) during such taxable year. In such case, stockholders will nevertheless be treated as having received
such dividends in the taxable year in which the distributions were actually made.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Generally, information reporting requirements will
apply to distributions on our common shares or proceeds on the disposition of our common shares or warrants paid within the U.S. (and,
in certain cases, outside the U.S.) to U.S. Holders. Such payments will generally be subject to backup withholding tax at the rate of
24% if: (a) a U.S. Holder fails to furnish such U.S. Holder&#8217;s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number to the payor (generally
on Form W-9), as required by the Code and Treasury Regulations, (b) the IRS notifies the payor that the U.S. Holder&#8217;s taxpayer
identification number is incorrect, (c) a U.S. Holder is notified by the IRS that it has previously failed to properly report interest
and dividend income, or (d) a U.S. Holder fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct
U.S. taxpayer identification number. However, certain exempt persons generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup
withholding rules. A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to backup withholding on dividends paid to such Non-U.S. Holder as long as such
Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penalty of perjury (generally on the applicable IRS Form W-8) that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the applicable
withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person as defined under
the Code), or such Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Depending on the circumstances, information reporting
and backup withholding may apply to the proceeds received from a sale or other disposition of shares unless the beneficial owner certifies
under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason
to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Under Treasury regulations, if a U.S. Holder recognizes
a loss on disposition of the Fund&#8217;s shares of $2 million or more for an individual stockholder or $10 million or more for a corporate
stockholder (excluding S corporations), the U.S. Holder generally must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on Form 8886 except to
the extent such losses are from assets that have a qualifying basis and meet certain other requirements. Direct stockholders of portfolio
securities are in many cases excepted from this reporting requirement, but under current guidance, stockholders of a regulated investment
company are not excepted. Future guidance may extend the current exception from this reporting requirement to stockholders of most or
all regulated investment companies. In addition, pursuant to recently enacted legislation, significant penalties may be imposed for the
failure to comply with the reporting requirements. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal
determination of whether the taxpayer&#8217;s treatment of the loss is proper. Stockholders should consult their tax advisers to determine
the applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The foregoing discussion does not address the special
tax rules applicable to certain classes of investors, such as tax-exempt entities, foreign investors, insurance companies and financial
institutions. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisers with respect to special tax rules that may apply in their particular
situations, as well as the state, local, and, where applicable, foreign tax consequences of investing in the Fund.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund will inform stockholders of the source and
tax status of all distributions after the close of each calendar year. The IRS currently requires that a RIC that has two or more classes
of stock allocate to each such class proportionate amounts of each type of its income (such as ordinary income, capital gains, dividends
qualifying for the dividends received deduction and qualified dividend income) based upon the percentage of total dividends paid out
of earnings or profits to each class for the tax year. Accordingly, if the Fund issues preferred shares in the future, the Fund intends
each year to allocate capital gain dividends, dividends qualifying for the dividends received deduction and dividends derived from qualified
dividend income, if any, between its common shares and preferred shares in proportion to the total dividends paid out of earnings or
profits to each class with respect to such tax year.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will
be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate or a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If a Non-U.S. Holder
is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide an
applicable IRS Form W-8 certifying its entitlement to benefits under the treaty in order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding tax.
However, if the distributions are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder (or, if an income tax treaty
applies, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States of the Non-U.S. Holder), then the distributions will be subject
to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. persons, plus, in certain cases where the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation,
a branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate provided in an applicable treaty). If the Non-U.S. Holder is subject to such U.S. income
tax on a distribution, then the Fund is not required to withhold U.S. federal tax if the Non-U.S. Holder complies with applicable certification
and disclosure requirements.</p>

(1) the U.S. Holder&#8217;s &#8220;net investment income&#8221; for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. Holder&#8217;s
modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which, in the case of individuals, will be between $125,000
and $250,000 depending on the individual&#8217;s circumstances). A U.S. Holder&#8217;s &#8220;net investment income&#8221; may generally
include portfolio income (such as interest and dividends), and income and net gains from an activity that is subject to certain passive
activity limitations, unless such income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other
than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate

such entities enter into an agreement with the IRS to disclose the name, address and taxpayer identification number of certain U.S. persons
that own, directly or indirectly, interests in such entities, as well as certain other information relating to such interests. While
withholding under FATCA would have also applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Shares on or after
January 1, 2019, proposed Treasury regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. The preamble to these
proposed regulations indicates that taxpayers may rely on them pending their finalization. Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult
with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications and obligations of FATCA.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund&#8217;s investment objective is to seek
long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies which Fund management
believes have demonstrated fundamental investment value and favorable growth prospects, as determined by the Investment Adviser. The
Fund&#8217;s investment objective and some of its investment policies are considered fundamental policies and may not be changed without

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund&#8217;s portfolio, under normal market conditions,
will consist principally of the equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies. Currently, the Fund primarily invests in companies
with large capitalizations, however, the Fund may invest in companies of all capitalization ranges. The Fund invests in common stocks
and may also invest in preferred stocks, rights, warrants and securities convertible into common stocks that are listed on stock exchanges
or traded over the counter. The Fund may, without limitation, hold cash or invest in assets in money market instruments, including U.S.
and non-U.S. government securities, high grade commercial paper and certificates of deposit and bankers&#8217; acceptances issued by
U.S. and non-U.S. banks having deposits of at least $500 million. In addition, the Fund may engage in hedging transactions to reduce
its company market and currency exchange exposure.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"></p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In determining which securities to buy for the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio, the Investment Adviser uses a balanced approach, including &#8220;value&#8221; and &#8220;growth&#8221; investing by seeking
out companies at reasonable prices, without regard to sector or industry, which demonstrate favorable long-term growth characteristics.
Valuation and growth characteristics may be considered for purposes of selecting potential investment securities. In general, valuation
analysis is used to determine the inherent value of the company by analyzing financial information such as a company&#8217;s price to
book, price to sales, return on equity, and return on assets ratios; and growth analysis is used to determine a company&#8217;s potential
for long-term dividends and earnings growth due to market-oriented factors such as growing market share, the launch of new products or
services, the strength of its management and market demand. Fluctuations in these characteristics may trigger trading decisions to be
made by the Investment Adviser.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Although the Fund has the ability to invest a significant
portion of its assets in non-U.S. companies, the Fund has consistently maintained the investment of at least 95% of its assets in U.S.
listed companies since June 30, 2001.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest without limitation in other closed-end
investment companies and ETFs, provided that the Fund limits its investment in securities issued by other investment companies so that
not more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company will be owned by the Fund. As a stockholder in any investment
company, the Fund will bear its ratable share of the investment company&#8217;s expenses and would remain subject to payment of the Fund&#8217;s
advisory and administrative fees with respect to the assets so invested.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">To comply with provisions of the 1940 Act, on any
matter upon which the Fund is solicited to vote as a stockholder in an investment company in which it invests, the Investment Adviser
votes such shares in the same general proportion as shares held by other stockholders of that investment company. The Fund does not and
will not invest in any other closed-end funds managed by the Investment Adviser.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in illiquid
U.S. and non-U.S. securities. The Fund will invest only in such illiquid securities that, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, present
opportunities for substantial growth over a period of two to five years.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund&#8217;s investment policies emphasize long-term
investment in securities. Therefore, the Fund&#8217;s annual portfolio turnover rate is expected to continue to be relatively low, normally
ranging between 10% and 90%. Higher portfolio turnover rates resulting from more actively traded portfolio securities generally result
in higher transaction costs, including brokerage commissions and related capital gains or losses.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund&#8217;s foregoing investment policies may
be changed by the Fund&#8217;s Board of Directors without Stockholder vote.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Although the Fund does not anticipate having any
securities lending income during the current calendar year, the Fund may lend the securities that it owns to others, which would allow
the Fund the opportunity to earn additional income. Although the Fund will require the borrower of the securities to post collateral
for the loan in accordance with market practice and the terms of the loan will require that the Fund be able to reacquire the loaned
securities if certain events occur, the Fund is still subject to the risk that the borrower of the securities may default, which could
result in the Fund losing money, which would result in a decline in the Fund&#8217;s net asset value.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"></p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive
positions that are inconsistent with the Fund&#8217;s principal investment strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic,
political or other conditions. During such times, the Fund may temporarily invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents,
including money market instruments, prime commercial paper, repurchase agreements, Treasury bills and other short-term obligations of
the U. S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. In these and in other cases, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Investment Adviser may invest the Fund&#8217;s
cash balances in any investments it deems appropriate. Such investments may include, without limitation and as permitted under the 1940
Act, money market funds, U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency securities, municipal bonds, repurchase agreements and bank accounts. Many of
the considerations entering into the Investment Adviser&#8217;s recommendations and the portfolio managers&#8217; decisions are subjective.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund has no current intent to use leverage; however,
the Fund reserves the right to utilize limited leverage through issuing preferred shares. The Fund also may borrow money in amounts not
exceeding 10% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) for temporary or emergency purposes, including the payment of dividends
and the settlement of securities transactions, which otherwise might require untimely dispositions of Fund securities. In addition, the
Fund may incur leverage through the use of investment management techniques (<i>e.g.</i>, &#8220;uncovered&#8221; sales of put and call
options, futures contracts and options on futures contracts). In order to hedge against adverse market shifts and for non-hedging, speculative
purposes, the Fund may utilize up to 5% of its net assets to purchase put and call options on securities or stock indices.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund will invest in common stocks. Common stocks
represent an ownership interest in an issuer. While offering greater potential for long-term growth, common stocks are more volatile
and more risky than some other forms of investment. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including adverse events, such as
an unfavorable earnings report, 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 issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may
be sensitive to rising interest rates as the costs of capital rise and borrowing costs increase.</p>

than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company will be owned by the Fund. There can be no assurance that the investment
objective of any investment company in which the Fund invests will be achieved. Closed-end investment companies are subject to the risks
of investing in the underlying securities. The Fund, as a holder of the securities of the closed-end investment company, will bear its
pro rata portion of the closed-end investment company&#8217;s expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses are in addition to the
direct expenses of the Fund&#8217;s own operations.</p>

companies that aim to track or replicate a desired index, such as a sector, market or global segment. ETFs are passively managed and
their shares are traded on a national exchange. ETFs do not sell individual shares directly to investors and only issue their shares
in large blocks known as &#8220;creation units.&#8221; The investor purchasing a creation unit may sell the individual shares on a secondary
market. Therefore, the liquidity of ETFs depends on the adequacy of the secondary market. There can be no assurance that an ETF&#8217;s
investment objective will be achieved, as ETFs based on an index may not replicate and maintain exactly the composition and relative
weightings of securities in the index. ETFs are subject to the risks of investing in the underlying securities. The Fund, as a holder
of the securities of the ETF, will bear its pro rata portion of the ETF&#8217;s expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses are
in addition to the direct expenses of the Fund&#8217;s own operations.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including
direct investments in securities of foreign issuers that are traded on a U.S. securities exchange or over the counter and investments
in depository receipts (such as American depositary receipts (&#8220;ADRs&#8221;)), exchange-traded funds (&#8220;ETFs&#8221;) and other
closed-end investment companies that represent indirect interests in securities of foreign issuers. The Fund is not limited in the amount
of assets it may invest in such foreign securities. These investments involve risks not associated with investments in the United States,
including the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, unreliable and untimely information about the issuers and political
and economic instability. These risks could result in the Investment Adviser&#8217;s misjudging the value of certain securities or in
a significant loss in the value of those securities.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The value of foreign securities is affected by changes
in currency rates, foreign tax laws (including withholding tax), government policies (in this country or abroad), relations between nations
and trading, settlement, custodial and other operational risks. In addition, the costs of investing abroad are generally higher than
in the United States, and foreign securities markets may be less liquid, more volatile and less subject to governmental supervision than
markets in the United States. As an alternative to holding foreign traded securities, the Fund may invest in dollar-denominated securities
of foreign companies that trade on U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. over-the-counter market (including depositary receipts as described
below, which evidence ownership in underlying foreign securities), and ETFs as described below.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Because foreign companies are not subject to uniform
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies,
there may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a domestic company. Volume and liquidity in most
foreign debt markets is less than in the United States and securities of some foreign companies are less liquid and more volatile than
securities of comparable U.S. companies. There is generally less government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, broker
dealers and listed companies than in the United States. Mail service between the United States and foreign countries may be slower or
less reliable than within the United States, thus increasing the risk of delayed settlements of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates
for portfolio securities. Payment for securities before delivery may be required. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries,
there is the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments which
could affect investments in those countries. Moreover, individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S.
economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and
balance of payments position. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed
as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less
liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may purchase ADRs, international depositary
receipts (&#8220;IDRs&#8221;) and global depository receipts (&#8220;GDRs&#8221;) which are certificates evidencing ownership of shares
of foreign issuers and are alternatives to purchasing directly the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies.
However, such depository receipts continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.
These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks associated with the underlying issuer&#8217;s country.
ADRs, IDRs and GDRs may be sponsored or unsponsored. Unsponsored receipts are established without the participation of the issuer. Unsponsored
receipts may involve higher expenses, they may not pass-through voting or other stockholder rights, and they may be less liquid. Less
information is normally available on unsponsored receipts.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in
emerging market securities, although through its investments in ETFs, other investment companies or depository receipts that invest in
emerging market securities, up to 20% of the Fund&#8217;s assets may be invested indirectly in issuers located in emerging markets. The
risks of foreign investments described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging markets. The securities markets
of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the United
States and developed foreign markets. Disclosure and regulatory standards in many respects are less stringent than in the United States
and developed foreign markets. There also may be a lower level of monitoring and regulation of securities markets in emerging market
countries and the activities of investors in such markets and enforcement of existing regulations has been extremely limited. Many emerging
countries have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations
in inflation rates have had and may continue to have very negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging
countries. Economies in emerging markets generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and, accordingly, have been and may
continue to be affected adversely by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values, and other protectionist
measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade. The economies of these countries also have been and may continue
to be adversely affected by economic conditions in the countries in which they trade. The economies of countries with emerging markets
may also be predominantly based on only a few industries or dependent on revenues from particular commodities. In addition, custodial
services and other costs relating to investment in foreign markets may be more expensive in emerging markets than in many developed foreign
markets, which could reduce the Fund&#8217;s income from such securities.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In many cases, governments of emerging countries
continue to exercise significant control over their economies, and government actions relative to the economy, as well as economic developments
generally, may affect the Fund&#8217;s investments in those countries. In addition, there is a heightened possibility of expropriation
or confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding taxes on interest payments, or other similar developments that could affect investments
in those countries. There can be no assurance that adverse political changes will not cause the Fund to suffer a loss of any or all of
its investments.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred
stock, like common stock, represents an equity ownership in an issuer. Generally, preferred stock has a priority of claim over common
stock in dividend payments and upon liquidation of the issuer. Unlike common stock, preferred stock does not usually have voting rights.
Preferred stock in some instances is convertible into common stock. Although they are equity securities, preferred stocks have characteristics
of both debt and common stock. Like debt, their promised income is contractually fixed. Like common stock, they do not have rights to
precipitate bankruptcy proceedings or collection activities in the event of missed payments. Other equity characteristics are their subordinated
position in an issuer&#8217;s capital structure and that their quality and value are heavily dependent on the profitability of the issuer
rather than on any legal claims to specific assets or cash flows.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>




<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"></p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Distributions on preferred stock must be declared
by a board of directors and may be subject to deferral, and thus they may not be automatically payable. Income payments on preferred
stocks may be cumulative, causing dividends and distributions to accrue even if not declared by the company&#8217;s board or otherwise
made payable, or they may be non-cumulative, so that skipped dividends and distributions do not continue to accrue. There is no assurance
that dividends on preferred stocks in which the Fund invests will be declared or otherwise made payable. The Fund may invest in non-cumulative
preferred stock, although the Investment Adviser would consider, among other factors, their non-cumulative nature in making any decision
to purchase or sell such securities.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Shares of preferred stock have a liquidation value
that generally equals the original purchase price at the date of issuance. The market values of preferred stock may be affected by favorable
and unfavorable changes impacting the issuers&#8217; industries or sectors, including companies in the utilities and financial services
sectors, which are prominent issuers of preferred stock. They may also be affected by actual and anticipated changes or ambiguities in
the tax status of the security and by actual and anticipated changes or ambiguities in tax laws, such as changes in corporate and individual
income tax rates, and in the dividends received deduction for corporate taxpayers or the lower rates applicable to certain dividends.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Because the claim on an issuer&#8217;s earnings represented
by preferred stock may become onerous when interest rates fall below the rate payable on the stock or for other reasons, the issuer may
redeem preferred stock, generally after an initial period of call protection in which the stock is not redeemable. Thus, in declining
interest rate environments in particular, the Fund&#8217;s holdings of higher dividend-paying preferred stocks may be reduced and the
Fund may be unable to acquire securities paying comparable rates with the redemption proceeds.</p>

fixed or variable rates of interest. Bonds and other debt securities generally are issued by corporations and other issuers to borrow
money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or variable rate of interest and normally must repay the amount borrowed on
or before maturity. Certain debt securities are &#8220;perpetual&#8221; in that they have no maturity date.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest in government debt securities,
including those of emerging market issuers or of other non-U.S. issuers. These securities may be U.S. dollar- denominated or non-U.S.
dollar-denominated and include: (a) debt obligations issued or guaranteed by foreign national, provincial, state, municipal or other
governments with taxing authority or by their agencies or instrumentalities; and (b) debt obligations of supranational entities. Government
debt securities include: debt securities issued or guaranteed by governments, government agencies or instrumentalities and political
subdivisions; debt securities issued by government owned, controlled or sponsored entities; interests in entities organized and operated
for the purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics issued by the above noted issuers; or debt securities issued by supranational
entities such as the World Bank or the European Union. The Fund may also invest in securities denominated in currencies of emerging market
countries. Emerging market debt securities generally are rated in the lower rating categories of recognized credit rating agencies or
are unrated and considered to be of comparable quality to lower rated debt securities. A non-U.S. issuer of debt or the non-U.S. governmental
authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Fund may
have limited resources in the event of a default. Some of these risks do not apply to issuers in large, more developed countries. These
risks are more pronounced in investments in issuers in emerging markets or if the Fund invests significantly in one country.</p>

Convertible securities may take the form of convertible preferred stock, convertible bonds or debentures, units consisting of &#8220;usable&#8221;
bonds and warrants or a combination of the features of several of these securities. The investment characteristics of each convertible
security vary widely, which allows convertible securities to be employed for a variety of investment strategies.</p>

into shares of underlying common stock when, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, the investment characteristics of the underlying
common shares will assist the Fund in achieving its investment objective. The Fund may also elect to hold or trade convertible securities.
In selecting convertible securities, the Investment Adviser evaluates the investment characteristics of the convertible security as a
fixed income instrument, and the investment potential of the underlying equity security for capital appreciation. In evaluating these
matters with respect to a particular convertible security, the Investment Adviser considers numerous factors, including the economic
and political outlook, the value of the security relative to other investment alternatives, trends in the determinants of the issuer&#8217;s
profits, and the issuer&#8217;s management capability and practices.</p>

Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expenses, and a considerable period may elapse between the decision to sell
and the time the Fund may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse
market conditions were to develop, the Fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to sell. The Fund may
invest up to 15% of the value of its net assets in illiquid securities. Restricted securities for which no market exists and other illiquid
investments are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved and periodically reviewed by the Board of Directors.</p>

securities that are not publicly traded. The Investment Adviser determines the liquidity of the Rule 144A securities according to guidelines
adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors monitors the application of those guidelines and procedures. Securities eligible

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest in equity and index warrants
of domestic and international issuers. Equity warrants are securities that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to subscribe
for equity issues of the issuing company or a related company at a fixed price either on a certain date or during a set period. Changes
in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may
be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well
as capital loss. Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent
any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date.
These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments. The sale of a warrant results in a long or short-term
capital gain or loss depending on the period for which the warrant is held.</p>

The financial institutions with whom the Fund enters into repurchase agreements are banks and broker/dealers, which the Investment Adviser
considers creditworthy. The seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain the value of the securities as collateral,
subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The Investment Adviser monitors the mark-to-market
of the value of the collateral, and, if necessary, requires the seller to maintain additional securities, so that the value of the collateral
is not less than the repurchase price. Default by or bankruptcy of the seller would, however, expose the Fund to possible loss because
of adverse market action or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities.</p>

Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets.
Governments may respond aggressively to such events, including by closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and
the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes
to, many retail and other businesses, which could have negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide.
War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events (and their aftermath) have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market
volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental
disasters, such as, for example, earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and weather-related phenomena generally, as well as
the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including widespread epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak
in 2020, and systemic market dislocations can be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in
non-U.S. and domestic economic and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers,
securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of Fund investments.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 resulted in travel
restrictions and disruptions, closed borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in
healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, event cancellations and restrictions, service cancellations or reductions,
disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity, lower consumer demand for goods and services, as well as general
concern and uncertainty that has negatively affected the economic environment. The impact of this outbreak and any other epidemic or
pandemic that may arise in the future could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, the financial
performance of individual issuers, borrowers and sectors and the health of capital markets and other markets generally in potentially
significant and unforeseen ways. This crisis or other public health crises may also exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and
economic risks in certain countries or globally. The foregoing could lead to a significant economic downturn or recession, increased
market volatility, a greater number of market closures, higher default rates and adverse effects on the values and liquidity of securities
or other assets. Such impacts, which may vary across asset classes, may adversely affect the performance of the Fund and a stockholder&#8217;s
investment in the Fund.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Common Stock Risk. </i></b>The Fund will invest
a significant portion of its net assets in common stocks. Common stocks represent an ownership interest in a company. The Fund may also
invest in securities that can be exercised for or converted into common stocks (such as convertible preferred stock). Common stocks and
similar equity securities are more volatile and more risky than some other forms of investment. Therefore, the value of your investment
in the Fund may sometimes decrease instead of increase. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes in investors&#8217;
perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, the general condition of the relevant stock market or when political or economic
events affecting the issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates, as the costs of capital
rise for issuers. Because convertible securities can be converted into equity securities, their values will normally increase or decrease
as the values of the underlying equity securities increase or decrease. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are structurally
subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company&#8217;s capital structure in terms of priority to
corporate income and assets and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such
issuers.</p>

in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve special risks not presented by investments in securities of U.S. issuers, including the following:
less publicly available information about companies due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards or regulatory practices;
the impact of political, social or diplomatic events, including war; possible seizure, expropriation or nationalization of the company
or its assets; possible imposition of currency exchange controls; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These risks are more
pronounced to the extent that the Fund invests a significant amount of its investments in companies located in one region. These risks
may be greater in emerging markets and in less developed countries. For example, prior governmental approval for foreign investments
may be required in some emerging market countries, and the extent of foreign investment may be subject to limitation in other emerging
countries. With respect to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Fund does not expect to engage in foreign
currency hedging transactions. See &#8220;Foreign Currency Risk.&#8221;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Managed Distribution Policy Risk. </i></b>Under
the Fund&#8217;s Distribution Policy, the Fund makes monthly distributions to Stockholders at a rate that may include periodic distributions
of its net income and net capital gains (&#8220;Net Earnings&#8221;), or from return-of-capital. For any fiscal year where total cash
distributions exceeded Net Earnings (the &#8220;Excess&#8221;), the Excess would decrease the Fund&#8217;s total assets and, as a result,
would have the likely effect of increasing the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio. There is a risk that the total Net Earnings from the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio would not be great enough to offset the amount of cash distributions paid to Stockholders. If this were to be the case, the
Fund&#8217;s assets would be depleted, and there is no guarantee that the Fund would be able to replace the assets. In addition, in order
to make such distributions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio, including securities purchased with the
proceeds of the Offering, at a time when independent investment judgment might not dictate such action. Furthermore, such assets used
to make distributions will not be available for investment pursuant to the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. The Fund adopted the Distribution
Policy in 2002, and during recent years the Fund&#8217;s distributions have exceeded its Net Earnings. The Fund may use the proceeds
of the Offering to maintain the Distribution Policy by providing funding for future distributions, which may constitute a return of capital
to Stockholders and lower the tax basis in their Shares which, for the taxable Stockholders, will defer any potential gains until the
Shares are sold. For the taxable Stockholders, the portion of distribution that constitutes ordinary income and/or capital gains is taxable
to such Stockholders in the year the distribution is declared. A return of capital is non-taxable to the extent of the Stockholder&#8217;s
basis in the shares. The Stockholders would reduce their basis (but not below zero) in the Shares by the amount of the distribution and
therefore may result in an increase in the amount of any taxable gain on a subsequent disposition of such Shares, even if such Shares
are sold at a loss to the Stockholder&#8217;s original investment amount. Any return of capital will be separately identified when Stockholders
receive their tax statements. Any return of capital that exceeds cost basis may be treated as capital gain. Stockholders are advised
to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund. The Fund may need to raise additional
capital in order to maintain the Distribution Policy.</p>

of a convertible security, including, for example, a warrant, is a function of its &#8220;investment value&#8221; (determined by its
yield in comparison with the yields of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a conversion privilege) and
its &#8220;conversion value&#8221; (the security&#8217;s worth, at market value, if converted into the underlying common stock). The
investment value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates
increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors may also have an effect on the
convertible security&#8217;s investment value. The conversion value of a convertible security is determined by the market price of the
underlying common stock. If the conversion value is low relative to the investment value, the price of the convertible security is governed
principally by its investment value. Generally, the conversion value decreases as the convertible security approaches maturity. To the
extent the market price of the underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible security
will be increasingly influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security generally will sell at a premium over its conversion
value by the extent to which investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding a fixed income security.</p>

dollar and the trading currency of that primary foreign stock exchange. Certain currencies are more volatile than those of other countries
and Fund investments related to those countries may be more affected. Generally, if a foreign currency depreciates against the dollar

When a given currency appreciates against the dollar (<i>i.e.</i>, if the dollar weakens), the value of the existing investment in the

issuers to make payments of principal and interest to investors located outside of the country, due to a blockage of foreign currency

have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates
rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage securities can be more sensitive to interest
rate changes although they usually offer higher yields to compensate investors for the greater risks. The longer the maturity of the
security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security&#8217;s price. In addition, short-term and long-term
interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term

as the Fund is able to realize a higher net return on its investment portfolio than the then current cost of any leverage together with
other related expenses, the effect of the leverage will be to cause holders of common stock to realize higher current net investment
income than if the Fund were not so leveraged. On the other hand, to the extent that the then current cost of any leverage, together
with other related expenses, approaches the net return on the Fund&#8217;s investment portfolio, the benefit of leverage to holders of
common stock will be reduced, and if the then current cost of any leverage were to exceed the net return on the Fund&#8217;s portfolio,

in preferred securities carries risks including credit risk, deferral risk, redemption risk, limited voting rights, risk of subordination
and lack of liquidity. Fully taxable or hybrid preferred securities typically contain provisions that allow an issuer, at its discretion,
to defer distributions for up to 20 consecutive quarters. Traditional preferreds also contain provisions that allow an issuer, under
certain conditions to skip (in the case of &#8220;noncumulative preferreds&#8221;) or defer (in the case of &#8220;cumulative preferreds&#8221;),
dividend payments. If the Fund owns a preferred security that is deferring its distributions, the Fund may be required to report income
for tax purposes while it is not receiving any distributions. Preferred securities typically contain provisions that allow for redemption
in the event of tax or security law changes in addition to call features at the option of the issuer. In the event of a redemption, the
Fund may not be able to reinvest the proceeds at comparable rates of return. Preferred securities 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 securities 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 will be subject to greater credit risk than those debt instruments. Preferred securities may be substantially less liquid
than many other securities, such as U.S. government securities, corporate debt or common stocks. Dividends paid on preferred securities
will generally not qualify for the reduced federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Code. See &#8220;Certain

The second risk is the risk that returns from REITs, which typically are small or medium capitalization stocks, will trail returns from
the overall stock market. The third, interest rate risk, is the risk that changes in interest rates may hurt real estate values or make
REIT shares less attractive than other income producing investments. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by
borrowers and self-liquidation.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Qualification as a REIT under the Code in any particular
year is a complex analysis that depends on a number of factors. There can be no assurance that the entities in which the Fund invests
with the expectation that they will be taxed as a REIT will qualify as a REIT. An entity that fails to qualify as a REIT would be subject
to a corporate level tax, would not be entitled to a deduction for dividends paid to its stockholders and would not pass through to its
stockholders the character of income earned by the entity. If the Fund were to invest in an entity that failed to qualify as a REIT,
such failure could drastically reduce the Fund&#8217;s yield on that investment.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">REITs can be classified as equity REITs, mortgage
REITs and hybrid REITs. Equity REITs invest primarily in real property and earn rental income from leasing those properties. They may
also realize gains or losses from the sale of properties. Equity REITs will be affected by conditions in the real estate rental market
and by changes in the value of the properties they own. Mortgage REITs invest primarily in mortgages and similar real estate interests
and receive interest payments from the owners of the mortgaged properties. They are paid interest by the owners of the financed properties.
Mortgage REITs will be affected by changes in creditworthiness of borrowers and changes in interest rates. Hybrid REITs invest both in
real property and in mortgages. Equity and mortgage REITs are dependent upon management skills, may not be diversified and are subject
to the risks of financing projects.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Dividends paid by REITs will not generally qualify
for the reduced U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Code, provided, however, the Fund may designate
certain dividends from a REIT as &#8220;Section 199A dividends,&#8221; which may be taxed to individual Stockholders and other non-corporate
Stockholders at a reduced effective U.S. federal income tax rate depending on whether certain requirements are satisfied. Investors should
see the discussion under the heading &#8220;Certain Additional Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences&#8221; for more
information relating to Section 199A dividends.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund&#8217;s investment in REITs may include
an additional risk to Stockholders. Some or all of a REIT&#8217;s annual distributions to its investors may constitute a non-taxable
return of capital. Any such return of capital will generally reduce the Fund&#8217;s basis in the REIT investment, but not below zero.
To the extent the distributions from a particular REIT exceed the Fund&#8217;s basis in such REIT, the Fund will generally recognize
gain. In part because REIT distributions often include a nontaxable return of capital, Fund distributions to Stockholders may also include
a nontaxable return of capital. Stockholders that receive such a distribution will also reduce their tax basis in their shares of the
Fund, but not below zero. To the extent the distribution exceeds a Stockholder&#8217;s basis in the Fund shares, such Stockholder will
generally recognize capital gain.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Securities Lending Risk. </i></b>Securities
lending is subject to the risk that loaned securities may not be available to the Fund on a timely basis and the Fund may, therefore,
lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. Any loss in the market price of securities loaned by the Fund that
occurs during the term of the loan would be borne by the Fund and would adversely affect the Fund&#8217;s performance. Also, there may
be delays in recovery, or no recovery, of securities loaned or even a loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities
fail financially while the loan is outstanding. The Fund retains the right to recall securities that it lends to enable it to vote such
securities if it determines such vote to be material. Despite its right to recall securities lent, there can be no guarantee that recalled
securities will be received timely to enable the Fund to vote those securities. The Fund does not anticipate having any securities lending
income during the current calendar year.</p>

Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets.
Governments may respond aggressively to such events, including by closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and
the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes
to, many retail and other businesses, which could have negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide.
War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events (and their aftermath) have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market
volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental
disasters, such as, for example, earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and weather-related phenomena generally, as well as
the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including widespread epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak
in 2020, and systemic market dislocations can be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in
non-U.S. and domestic economic and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers,
securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of Fund investments.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"></p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 resulted in travel
restrictions and disruptions, closed borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in
healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, event cancellations and restrictions, service cancellations or reductions,
disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity, lower consumer demand for goods and services, as well as general
concern and uncertainty that has negatively affected the economic environment. The impact of this outbreak and any other epidemic or
pandemic that may arise in the future could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, the financial
performance of individual issuers, borrowers and sectors and the health of capital markets and other markets generally in potentially
significant and unforeseen ways. This crisis or other public health crises may also exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and
economic risks in certain countries or globally. The foregoing could lead to a significant economic downturn or recession, increased
market volatility, a greater number of market closures, higher default rates and adverse effects on the values and liquidity of securities
or other assets. Such impacts, which may vary across asset classes, may adversely affect the performance of the Fund and a stockholder&#8217;s
investment in the Fund.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Common Stock Risk. </i></b>The Fund will invest
a significant portion of its net assets in common stocks. Common stocks represent an ownership interest in a company. The Fund may also
invest in securities that can be exercised for or converted into common stocks (such as convertible preferred stock). Common stocks and
similar equity securities are more volatile and more risky than some other forms of investment. Therefore, the value of your investment
in the Fund may sometimes decrease instead of increase. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes in investors&#8217;
perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, the general condition of the relevant stock market or when political or economic
events affecting the issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates, as the costs of capital
rise for issuers. Because convertible securities can be converted into equity securities, their values will normally increase or decrease
as the values of the underlying equity securities increase or decrease. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are structurally
subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company&#8217;s capital structure in terms of priority to
corporate income and assets and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such
issuers.</p>

in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve special risks not presented by investments in securities of U.S. issuers, including the following:

the impact of political, social or diplomatic events, including war; possible seizure, expropriation or nationalization of the company

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Managed Distribution Policy Risk. </i></b>Under
the Fund&#8217;s Distribution Policy, the Fund makes monthly distributions to Stockholders at a rate that may include periodic distributions
of its net income and net capital gains (&#8220;Net Earnings&#8221;), or from return-of-capital. For any fiscal year where total cash
distributions exceeded Net Earnings (the &#8220;Excess&#8221;), the Excess would decrease the Fund&#8217;s total assets and, as a result,
would have the likely effect of increasing the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio. There is a risk that the total Net Earnings from the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio would not be great enough to offset the amount of cash distributions paid to Stockholders. If this were to be the case, the
Fund&#8217;s assets would be depleted, and there is no guarantee that the Fund would be able to replace the assets. In addition, in order
to make such distributions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio, including securities purchased with the
proceeds of the Offering, at a time when independent investment judgment might not dictate such action. Furthermore, such assets used
to make distributions will not be available for investment pursuant to the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. The Fund adopted the Distribution
Policy in 2002, and during recent years the Fund&#8217;s distributions have exceeded its Net Earnings. The Fund may use the proceeds
of the Offering to maintain the Distribution Policy by providing funding for future distributions, which may constitute a return of capital
to Stockholders and lower the tax basis in their Shares which, for the taxable Stockholders, will defer any potential gains until the
Shares are sold. For the taxable Stockholders, the portion of distribution that constitutes ordinary income and/or capital gains is taxable
to such Stockholders in the year the distribution is declared. A return of capital is non-taxable to the extent of the Stockholder&#8217;s
basis in the shares. The Stockholders would reduce their basis (but not below zero) in the Shares by the amount of the distribution and
therefore may result in an increase in the amount of any taxable gain on a subsequent disposition of such Shares, even if such Shares
are sold at a loss to the Stockholder&#8217;s original investment amount. Any return of capital will be separately identified when Stockholders
receive their tax statements. Any return of capital that exceeds cost basis may be treated as capital gain. Stockholders are advised
to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund. The Fund may need to raise additional
capital in order to maintain the Distribution Policy.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The following table is provided to demonstrate the
historical components of the Distribution Policy. The average annual returns indicated below include the return of Stockholders&#8217;
capital invested in the Fund. A return of capital distribution does not reflect positive investment performance. Stockholders should
not draw any conclusions about the Fund&#8217;s investment performance from the amount of its managed distributions or from the terms
of the Distribution Policy. The Fund&#8217;s managed distribution rates do not correlate to the Fund&#8217;s total return based on NAV
because the Fund&#8217;s Distribution Policy maintains a stable, high rate of distribution to its Stockholders, and such distributions
are not tied to the Fund&#8217;s investment income or capital gains and do not represent yield or investment return on the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Management Risk. </i></b>The Fund is subject
to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. The Fund&#8217;s successful pursuit of its investment objective depends
upon the Investment Adviser&#8217;s ability to find and exploit market inefficiencies with respect to undervalued securities. Such situations
occur infrequently and sporadically and may be difficult to predict and may not result in a favorable pricing opportunity that allows
the Investment Adviser to fulfill the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. The Investment Adviser&#8217;s security selections and other
investment decisions might produce losses or cause the Fund to underperform when compared to other funds with similar investment goals.
If one or more key individuals leave the employ of the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser may not be able to hire qualified replacements

may also benefit from the Offering because its fee is based on the assets of the Fund, which could be perceived as a conflict of interest.</p>

Fund may invest in the securities of other closed-end investment companies and in ETFs. Investing in other investment companies and ETFs
involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but the total return on such investments at
the investment company level may be reduced by the operating expenses and fees of such other investment companies, including advisory
fees. To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment company securities, those assets will be subject to the risks
of the purchased investment company&#8217;s portfolio securities, and a Stockholder in the Fund will bear not only his proportionate

financial leverage, the securities of other investment companies in which the Fund invests may be leveraged, which will subject the Fund
to the risks associated with the use of leverage. Such risks include, among other things, the likelihood of greater volatility of the
net asset value and market price of such shares; the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on the borrowings of such investment companies,
or in the dividend rates on preferred shares that they must pay, will cause the yield on the shares of such companies to fluctuate more
than the yield generated by unleveraged shares; and the effect of leverage in a declining market, which is likely to cause a greater
decline in the net asset value of such shares than if such companies did not use leverage, which may result in a greater decline in the
market price of such shares.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Convertible Securities Risk. </i></b>The value
of a convertible security, including, for example, a warrant, is a function of its &#8220;investment value&#8221; (determined by its
yield in comparison with the yields of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a conversion privilege) and
its &#8220;conversion value&#8221; (the security&#8217;s worth, at market value, if converted into the underlying common stock). The
investment value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates
increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors may also have an effect on the
convertible security&#8217;s investment value. The conversion value of a convertible security is determined by the market price of the
underlying common stock. If the conversion value is low relative to the investment value, the price of the convertible security is governed
principally by its investment value. Generally, the conversion value decreases as the convertible security approaches maturity. To the
extent the market price of the underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible security
will be increasingly influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security generally will sell at a premium over its conversion
value by the extent to which investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding a fixed income security.</p>

at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible security&#8217;s governing instrument. If a convertible security
held by the Fund is called for redemption, the Fund will be required to permit the issuer to redeem the security, convert it into the
underlying common stock or sell it to a third party. Any of these actions could have an adverse effect on the Fund&#8217;s ability to
achieve its investment objective.</p>

Fund will report its net asset value and pay expenses and distributions in U.S. dollars, the Fund may invest in foreign securities denominated
or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the U.S. dollar
value of the Fund&#8217;s investment securities and net asset value. For example, even if the securities prices are unchanged on their
primary foreign stock exchange, the Fund&#8217;s net asset value may change because of a change in the rate of exchange between the U.S.
dollar and the trading currency of that primary foreign stock exchange. Certain currencies are more volatile than those of other countries
and Fund investments related to those countries may be more affected. Generally, if a foreign currency depreciates against the dollar
(<i>i.e.</i>, if the dollar strengthens), the value of the existing investment in the securities denominated in that currency will decline.
When a given currency appreciates against the dollar (<i>i.e.</i>, if the dollar weakens), the value of the existing investment in the
securities denominated in that currency will rise. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of foreign securities
issuers to make payments of principal and interest to investors located outside of the country, due to a blockage of foreign currency
exchanges or otherwise.</p>

up to 15% of its respective net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities may offer a higher yield than securities which are

more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on national

there can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist for any security at a particular time.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Interest Rate Risk. </i></b>Debt securities
have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates
rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage securities can be more sensitive to interest
rate changes although they usually offer higher yields to compensate investors for the greater risks. The longer the maturity of the
security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security&#8217;s price. In addition, short-term and long-term
interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term
interest rates and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Leverage Risk. </i></b>Utilization of leverage
is a speculative investment technique and involves certain risks to the holders of common stock. These include the possibility of higher
volatility of the net asset value of the common stock and potentially more volatility in the market value of the common stock. So long
as the Fund is able to realize a higher net return on its investment portfolio than the then current cost of any leverage together with
other related expenses, the effect of the leverage will be to cause holders of common stock to realize higher current net investment
income than if the Fund were not so leveraged. On the other hand, to the extent that the then current cost of any leverage, together
with other related expenses, approaches the net return on the Fund&#8217;s investment portfolio, the benefit of leverage to holders of
common stock will be reduced, and if the then current cost of any leverage were to exceed the net return on the Fund&#8217;s portfolio,
the Fund&#8217;s leveraged capital structure would result in a lower rate of return to Stockholders than if the Fund were not so leveraged.
There can be no assurance that the Fund&#8217;s leverage strategy will be successful.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Preferred Securities Risk. </i></b>Investment
in preferred securities carries risks including credit risk, deferral risk, redemption risk, limited voting rights, risk of subordination
and lack of liquidity. Fully taxable or hybrid preferred securities typically contain provisions that allow an issuer, at its discretion,
to defer distributions for up to 20 consecutive quarters. Traditional preferreds also contain provisions that allow an issuer, under
certain conditions to skip (in the case of &#8220;noncumulative preferreds&#8221;) or defer (in the case of &#8220;cumulative preferreds&#8221;),
dividend payments. If the Fund owns a preferred security that is deferring its distributions, the Fund may be required to report income
for tax purposes while it is not receiving any distributions. Preferred securities typically contain provisions that allow for redemption
in the event of tax or security law changes in addition to call features at the option of the issuer. In the event of a redemption, the
Fund may not be able to reinvest the proceeds at comparable rates of return. Preferred securities 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 securities 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 will be subject to greater credit risk than those debt instruments. Preferred securities may be substantially less liquid
than many other securities, such as U.S. government securities, corporate debt or common stocks. Dividends paid on preferred securities
will generally not qualify for the reduced federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Code. See &#8220;Certain

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Real Estate Investment Trust (&#8220;REIT&#8221;)
Risk</i></b>. Investments in REITs will subject the Fund to various risks. The first, real estate industry risk, is the risk that REIT
share prices will decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry and real property values. In general, real
estate values can be affected by a variety of factors, including supply and demand for properties, the economic health of the country
or of different regions, and the strength of specific industries that rent properties. REITs often invest in highly leveraged properties.
The second risk is the risk that returns from REITs, which typically are small or medium capitalization stocks, will trail returns from
the overall stock market. The third, interest rate risk, is the risk that changes in interest rates may hurt real estate values or make
REIT shares less attractive than other income producing investments. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by
borrowers and self-liquidation.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>




<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"></p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Qualification as a REIT under the Code in any particular
year is a complex analysis that depends on a number of factors. There can be no assurance that the entities in which the Fund invests
with the expectation that they will be taxed as a REIT will qualify as a REIT. An entity that fails to qualify as a REIT would be subject
to a corporate level tax, would not be entitled to a deduction for dividends paid to its stockholders and would not pass through to its
stockholders the character of income earned by the entity. If the Fund were to invest in an entity that failed to qualify as a REIT,
such failure could drastically reduce the Fund&#8217;s yield on that investment.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">REITs can be classified as equity REITs, mortgage
REITs and hybrid REITs. Equity REITs invest primarily in real property and earn rental income from leasing those properties. They may
also realize gains or losses from the sale of properties. Equity REITs will be affected by conditions in the real estate rental market
and by changes in the value of the properties they own. Mortgage REITs invest primarily in mortgages and similar real estate interests
and receive interest payments from the owners of the mortgaged properties. They are paid interest by the owners of the financed properties.
Mortgage REITs will be affected by changes in creditworthiness of borrowers and changes in interest rates. Hybrid REITs invest both in
real property and in mortgages. Equity and mortgage REITs are dependent upon management skills, may not be diversified and are subject
to the risks of financing projects.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Dividends paid by REITs will not generally qualify
for the reduced U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Code, provided, however, the Fund may designate
certain dividends from a REIT as &#8220;Section 199A dividends,&#8221; which may be taxed to individual Stockholders and other non-corporate
Stockholders at a reduced effective U.S. federal income tax rate depending on whether certain requirements are satisfied. Investors should
see the discussion under the heading &#8220;Certain Additional Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences&#8221; for more
information relating to Section 199A dividends.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund&#8217;s investment in REITs may include
an additional risk to Stockholders. Some or all of a REIT&#8217;s annual distributions to its investors may constitute a non-taxable
return of capital. Any such return of capital will generally reduce the Fund&#8217;s basis in the REIT investment, but not below zero.
To the extent the distributions from a particular REIT exceed the Fund&#8217;s basis in such REIT, the Fund will generally recognize
gain. In part because REIT distributions often include a nontaxable return of capital, Fund distributions to Stockholders may also include
a nontaxable return of capital. Stockholders that receive such a distribution will also reduce their tax basis in their shares of the
Fund, but not below zero. To the extent the distribution exceeds a Stockholder&#8217;s basis in the Fund shares, such Stockholder will
generally recognize capital gain.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Securities Lending Risk. </i></b>Securities
lending is subject to the risk that loaned securities may not be available to the Fund on a timely basis and the Fund may, therefore,
lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. Any loss in the market price of securities loaned by the Fund that
occurs during the term of the loan would be borne by the Fund and would adversely affect the Fund&#8217;s performance. Also, there may
be delays in recovery, or no recovery, of securities loaned or even a loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities
fail financially while the loan is outstanding. The Fund retains the right to recall securities that it lends to enable it to vote such
securities if it determines such vote to be material. Despite its right to recall securities lent, there can be no guarantee that recalled
securities will be received timely to enable the Fund to vote those securities. The Fund does not anticipate having any securities lending
income during the current calendar year.</p>

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Investment Objective&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund&#x2019;s investment objective is to seek
long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies which Fund management
believes have demonstrated fundamental investment value and favorable growth prospects, as determined by the Investment Adviser. The
Fund&#x2019;s investment objective and some of its investment policies are considered fundamental policies and may not be changed without
Stockholder approval.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Investment Strategies&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund&#x2019;s portfolio, under normal market conditions,
will consist principally of the equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies. Currently, the Fund primarily invests in companies
with large capitalizations, however, the Fund may invest in companies of all capitalization ranges. The Fund invests in common stocks
and may also invest in preferred stocks, rights, warrants and securities convertible into common stocks that are listed on stock exchanges
or traded over the counter. The Fund may, without limitation, hold cash or invest in assets in money market instruments, including U.S.
and non-U.S. government securities, high grade commercial paper and certificates of deposit and bankers&#x2019; acceptances issued by
U.S. and non-U.S. banks having deposits of at least $500 million. In addition, the Fund may engage in hedging transactions to reduce
its company market and currency exchange exposure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In determining which securities to buy for the Fund&#x2019;s
portfolio, the Investment Adviser uses a balanced approach, including &#x201c;value&#x201d; and &#x201c;growth&#x201d; investing by seeking
out companies at reasonable prices, without regard to sector or industry, which demonstrate favorable long-term growth characteristics.
Valuation and growth characteristics may be considered for purposes of selecting potential investment securities. In general, valuation
analysis is used to determine the inherent value of the company by analyzing financial information such as a company&#x2019;s price to
book, price to sales, return on equity, and return on assets ratios; and growth analysis is used to determine a company&#x2019;s potential
for long-term dividends and earnings growth due to market-oriented factors such as growing market share, the launch of new products or
services, the strength of its management and market demand. Fluctuations in these characteristics may trigger trading decisions to be
made by the Investment Adviser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Although the Fund has the ability to invest a significant
portion of its assets in non-U.S. companies, the Fund has consistently maintained the investment of at least 95% of its assets in U.S.
listed companies since June 30, 2001.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest without limitation in other closed-end
investment companies and ETFs, provided that the Fund limits its investment in securities issued by other investment companies so that
not more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company will be owned by the Fund. As a stockholder in any investment
company, the Fund will bear its ratable share of the investment company&#x2019;s expenses and would remain subject to payment of the Fund&#x2019;s
advisory and administrative fees with respect to the assets so invested.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;To comply with provisions of the 1940 Act, on any
matter upon which the Fund is solicited to vote as a stockholder in an investment company in which it invests, the Investment Adviser
votes such shares in the same general proportion as shares held by other stockholders of that investment company. The Fund does not and
will not invest in any other closed-end funds managed by the Investment Adviser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in illiquid
U.S. and non-U.S. securities. The Fund will invest only in such illiquid securities that, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, present
opportunities for substantial growth over a period of two to five years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund&#x2019;s investment policies emphasize long-term
investment in securities. Therefore, the Fund&#x2019;s annual portfolio turnover rate is expected to continue to be relatively low, normally
ranging between 10% and 90%. Higher portfolio turnover rates resulting from more actively traded portfolio securities generally result
in higher transaction costs, including brokerage commissions and related capital gains or losses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund&#x2019;s foregoing investment policies may
be changed by the Fund&#x2019;s Board of Directors without Stockholder vote.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Although the Fund does not anticipate having any
securities lending income during the current calendar year, the Fund may lend the securities that it owns to others, which would allow
the Fund the opportunity to earn additional income. Although the Fund will require the borrower of the securities to post collateral
for the loan in accordance with market practice and the terms of the loan will require that the Fund be able to reacquire the loaned
securities if certain events occur, the Fund is still subject to the risk that the borrower of the securities may default, which could
result in the Fund losing money, which would result in a decline in the Fund&#x2019;s net asset value.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive
positions that are inconsistent with the Fund&#x2019;s principal investment strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic,
political or other conditions. During such times, the Fund may temporarily invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents,
including money market instruments, prime commercial paper, repurchase agreements, Treasury bills and other short-term obligations of
the U. S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. In these and in other cases, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Investment Adviser may invest the Fund&#x2019;s
cash balances in any investments it deems appropriate. Such investments may include, without limitation and as permitted under the 1940
Act, money market funds, U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency securities, municipal bonds, repurchase agreements and bank accounts. Many of
the considerations entering into the Investment Adviser&#x2019;s recommendations and the portfolio managers&#x2019; decisions are subjective.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund has no current intent to use leverage; however,
the Fund reserves the right to utilize limited leverage through issuing preferred shares. The Fund also may borrow money in amounts not
exceeding 10% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) for temporary or emergency purposes, including the payment of dividends
and the settlement of securities transactions, which otherwise might require untimely dispositions of Fund securities. In addition, the
Fund may incur leverage through the use of investment management techniques (&lt;i&gt;e.g.&lt;/i&gt;, &#x201c;uncovered&#x201d; sales of put and call
options, futures contracts and options on futures contracts). In order to hedge against adverse market shifts and for non-hedging, speculative
purposes, the Fund may utilize up to 5% of its net assets to purchase put and call options on securities or stock indices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Portfolio Investments&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Common Stocks&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund will invest in common stocks. Common stocks
represent an ownership interest in an issuer. While offering greater potential for long-term growth, common stocks are more volatile
and more risky than some other forms of investment. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including adverse events, such as
an unfavorable earnings report, changes in investors&#x2019; 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 issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may
be sensitive to rising interest rates as the costs of capital rise and borrowing costs increase.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Other Closed-End Investment Companies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest without limitation in other closed-end
investment companies, provided that the Fund limits its investment in securities issued by other investment companies so that not more
than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company will be owned by the Fund. There can be no assurance that the investment
objective of any investment company in which the Fund invests will be achieved. Closed-end investment companies are subject to the risks
of investing in the underlying securities. The Fund, as a holder of the securities of the closed-end investment company, will bear its
pro rata portion of the closed-end investment company&#x2019;s expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses are in addition to the
direct expenses of the Fund&#x2019;s own operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Exchange Traded Funds&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest in ETFs, which are investment
companies that aim to track or replicate a desired index, such as a sector, market or global segment. ETFs are passively managed and
their shares are traded on a national exchange. ETFs do not sell individual shares directly to investors and only issue their shares
in large blocks known as &#x201c;creation units.&#x201d; The investor purchasing a creation unit may sell the individual shares on a secondary
market. Therefore, the liquidity of ETFs depends on the adequacy of the secondary market. There can be no assurance that an ETF&#x2019;s
investment objective will be achieved, as ETFs based on an index may not replicate and maintain exactly the composition and relative
weightings of securities in the index. ETFs are subject to the risks of investing in the underlying securities. The Fund, as a holder
of the securities of the ETF, will bear its pro rata portion of the ETF&#x2019;s expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses are
in addition to the direct expenses of the Fund&#x2019;s own operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Foreign Securities&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including
direct investments in securities of foreign issuers that are traded on a U.S. securities exchange or over the counter and investments
in depository receipts (such as American depositary receipts (&#x201c;ADRs&#x201d;)), exchange-traded funds (&#x201c;ETFs&#x201d;) and other
closed-end investment companies that represent indirect interests in securities of foreign issuers. The Fund is not limited in the amount
of assets it may invest in such foreign securities. These investments involve risks not associated with investments in the United States,
including the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, unreliable and untimely information about the issuers and political
and economic instability. These risks could result in the Investment Adviser&#x2019;s misjudging the value of certain securities or in
a significant loss in the value of those securities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The value of foreign securities is affected by changes
in currency rates, foreign tax laws (including withholding tax), government policies (in this country or abroad), relations between nations
and trading, settlement, custodial and other operational risks. In addition, the costs of investing abroad are generally higher than
in the United States, and foreign securities markets may be less liquid, more volatile and less subject to governmental supervision than
markets in the United States. As an alternative to holding foreign traded securities, the Fund may invest in dollar-denominated securities
of foreign companies that trade on U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. over-the-counter market (including depositary receipts as described
below, which evidence ownership in underlying foreign securities), and ETFs as described below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Because foreign companies are not subject to uniform
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies,
there may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a domestic company. Volume and liquidity in most
foreign debt markets is less than in the United States and securities of some foreign companies are less liquid and more volatile than
securities of comparable U.S. companies. There is generally less government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, broker
dealers and listed companies than in the United States. Mail service between the United States and foreign countries may be slower or
less reliable than within the United States, thus increasing the risk of delayed settlements of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates
for portfolio securities. Payment for securities before delivery may be required. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries,
there is the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments which
could affect investments in those countries. Moreover, individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S.
economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and
balance of payments position. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed
as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less
liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may purchase ADRs, international depositary
receipts (&#x201c;IDRs&#x201d;) and global depository receipts (&#x201c;GDRs&#x201d;) which are certificates evidencing ownership of shares
of foreign issuers and are alternatives to purchasing directly the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies.
However, such depository receipts continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.
These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks associated with the underlying issuer&#x2019;s country.
ADRs, IDRs and GDRs may be sponsored or unsponsored. Unsponsored receipts are established without the participation of the issuer. Unsponsored
receipts may involve higher expenses, they may not pass-through voting or other stockholder rights, and they may be less liquid. Less
information is normally available on unsponsored receipts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Dividends paid on foreign securities may not qualify
for the reduced federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Code. As a result, there can be no assurance as
to what portion of the Fund&#x2019;s distributions attributable to foreign securities will be designated as qualified dividend income.

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Emerging Market Securities&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in
emerging market securities, although through its investments in ETFs, other investment companies or depository receipts that invest in
emerging market securities, up to 20% of the Fund&#x2019;s assets may be invested indirectly in issuers located in emerging markets. The
risks of foreign investments described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging markets. The securities markets
of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the United
States and developed foreign markets. Disclosure and regulatory standards in many respects are less stringent than in the United States
and developed foreign markets. There also may be a lower level of monitoring and regulation of securities markets in emerging market
countries and the activities of investors in such markets and enforcement of existing regulations has been extremely limited. Many emerging
countries have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations
in inflation rates have had and may continue to have very negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging
countries. Economies in emerging markets generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and, accordingly, have been and may
continue to be affected adversely by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values, and other protectionist
measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade. The economies of these countries also have been and may continue
to be adversely affected by economic conditions in the countries in which they trade. The economies of countries with emerging markets
may also be predominantly based on only a few industries or dependent on revenues from particular commodities. In addition, custodial
services and other costs relating to investment in foreign markets may be more expensive in emerging markets than in many developed foreign
markets, which could reduce the Fund&#x2019;s income from such securities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In many cases, governments of emerging countries
continue to exercise significant control over their economies, and government actions relative to the economy, as well as economic developments
generally, may affect the Fund&#x2019;s investments in those countries. In addition, there is a heightened possibility of expropriation
or confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding taxes on interest payments, or other similar developments that could affect investments
in those countries. There can be no assurance that adverse political changes will not cause the Fund to suffer a loss of any or all of
its investments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Preferred Stocks&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred
stock, like common stock, represents an equity ownership in an issuer. Generally, preferred stock has a priority of claim over common
stock in dividend payments and upon liquidation of the issuer. Unlike common stock, preferred stock does not usually have voting rights.
Preferred stock in some instances is convertible into common stock. Although they are equity securities, preferred stocks have characteristics
of both debt and common stock. Like debt, their promised income is contractually fixed. Like common stock, they do not have rights to
precipitate bankruptcy proceedings or collection activities in the event of missed payments. Other equity characteristics are their subordinated
position in an issuer&#x2019;s capital structure and that their quality and value are heavily dependent on the profitability of the issuer
rather than on any legal claims to specific assets or cash flows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Distributions on preferred stock must be declared
by a board of directors and may be subject to deferral, and thus they may not be automatically payable. Income payments on preferred
stocks may be cumulative, causing dividends and distributions to accrue even if not declared by the company&#x2019;s board or otherwise
made payable, or they may be non-cumulative, so that skipped dividends and distributions do not continue to accrue. There is no assurance
that dividends on preferred stocks in which the Fund invests will be declared or otherwise made payable. The Fund may invest in non-cumulative
preferred stock, although the Investment Adviser would consider, among other factors, their non-cumulative nature in making any decision
to purchase or sell such securities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Shares of preferred stock have a liquidation value
that generally equals the original purchase price at the date of issuance. The market values of preferred stock may be affected by favorable
and unfavorable changes impacting the issuers&#x2019; industries or sectors, including companies in the utilities and financial services
sectors, which are prominent issuers of preferred stock. They may also be affected by actual and anticipated changes or ambiguities in
the tax status of the security and by actual and anticipated changes or ambiguities in tax laws, such as changes in corporate and individual
income tax rates, and in the dividends received deduction for corporate taxpayers or the lower rates applicable to certain dividends.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Because the claim on an issuer&#x2019;s earnings represented
by preferred stock may become onerous when interest rates fall below the rate payable on the stock or for other reasons, the issuer may
redeem preferred stock, generally after an initial period of call protection in which the stock is not redeemable. Thus, in declining
interest rate environments in particular, the Fund&#x2019;s holdings of higher dividend-paying preferred stocks may be reduced and the
Fund may be unable to acquire securities paying comparable rates with the redemption proceeds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Other Securities&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Although it has no current intention do so to any
material extent, the Investment Adviser may determine to invest the Fund&#x2019;s assets in some or all of the following securities from
time to time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Corporate Bonds, Government Debt Securities
and Other Debt Securities&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest in corporate bonds, debentures
and other debt securities, and in investment companies holding such instruments. Debt securities in which the Fund may invest may pay
fixed or variable rates of interest. Bonds and other debt securities generally are issued by corporations and other issuers to borrow
money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or variable rate of interest and normally must repay the amount borrowed on
or before maturity. Certain debt securities are &#x201c;perpetual&#x201d; in that they have no maturity date.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest in government debt securities,
including those of emerging market issuers or of other non-U.S. issuers. These securities may be U.S. dollar- denominated or non-U.S.
dollar-denominated and include: (a) debt obligations issued or guaranteed by foreign national, provincial, state, municipal or other
governments with taxing authority or by their agencies or instrumentalities; and (b) debt obligations of supranational entities. Government
debt securities include: debt securities issued or guaranteed by governments, government agencies or instrumentalities and political
subdivisions; debt securities issued by government owned, controlled or sponsored entities; interests in entities organized and operated
for the purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics issued by the above noted issuers; or debt securities issued by supranational
entities such as the World Bank or the European Union. The Fund may also invest in securities denominated in currencies of emerging market
countries. Emerging market debt securities generally are rated in the lower rating categories of recognized credit rating agencies or
are unrated and considered to be of comparable quality to lower rated debt securities. A non-U.S. issuer of debt or the non-U.S. governmental
authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Fund may
have limited resources in the event of a default. Some of these risks do not apply to issuers in large, more developed countries. These
risks are more pronounced in investments in issuers in emerging markets or if the Fund invests significantly in one country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund will not invest directly in debt securities
rated below investment grade (&lt;i&gt;i.e.&lt;/i&gt;, securities rated lower than Baa by Moody&#x2019;s Investors Service, Inc. (&#x201c;Moody&#x2019;s&#x201d;)
or lower than BBB by Standard &amp;amp; Poor&#x2019;s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (&#x201c;S&amp;amp;P&#x201d;),
or their equivalent as determined by the Investment Adviser. These securities are commonly referred to as &#x201c;junk bonds.&#x201d; The
foregoing credit quality policy applies only at the time a security is purchased, and the Fund is not required to dispose of securities
already owned by the Fund in the event of a change in assessment of credit quality or the removal of a rating.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Convertible Securities&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest in convertible securities and
in investment companies holding such instruments. Convertible securities include fixed income securities that may be exchanged or converted
into a predetermined number of shares of the issuer&#x2019;s underlying common stock at the option of the holder during a specified period.
Convertible securities may take the form of convertible preferred stock, convertible bonds or debentures, units consisting of &#x201c;usable&#x201d;
bonds and warrants or a combination of the features of several of these securities. The investment characteristics of each convertible
security vary widely, which allows convertible securities to be employed for a variety of investment strategies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund will exchange or convert convertible securities
into shares of underlying common stock when, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, the investment characteristics of the underlying
common shares will assist the Fund in achieving its investment objective. The Fund may also elect to hold or trade convertible securities.
In selecting convertible securities, the Investment Adviser evaluates the investment characteristics of the convertible security as a
fixed income instrument, and the investment potential of the underlying equity security for capital appreciation. In evaluating these
matters with respect to a particular convertible security, the Investment Adviser considers numerous factors, including the economic
and political outlook, the value of the security relative to other investment alternatives, trends in the determinants of the issuer&#x2019;s
profits, and the issuer&#x2019;s management capability and practices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Illiquid Securities&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Illiquid securities are securities that are not readily
marketable. Illiquid securities include securities that have legal or contractual restrictions on resale, and repurchase agreements maturing
in more than seven days. Illiquid securities involve the risk that the securities will not be able to be sold at the time desired or
at prices approximating the value at which the Fund is carrying the securities. Where registration is required to sell a security, the
Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expenses, and a considerable period may elapse between the decision to sell
and the time the Fund may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse
market conditions were to develop, the Fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to sell. The Fund may
invest up to 15% of the value of its net assets in illiquid securities. Restricted securities for which no market exists and other illiquid
investments are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved and periodically reviewed by the Board of Directors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rule 144A Securities&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest in restricted securities that
are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the &#x201c;1933 Act&#x201d;). Generally,
Rule 144A establishes a safe harbor from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act for resale by large institutional investors of
securities that are not publicly traded. The Investment Adviser determines the liquidity of the Rule 144A securities according to guidelines
adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors monitors the application of those guidelines and procedures. Securities eligible
for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund&#x2019;s 15% limit on investments in
illiquid securities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Warrants&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund may invest in equity and index warrants
of domestic and international issuers. Equity warrants are securities that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to subscribe
for equity issues of the issuing company or a related company at a fixed price either on a certain date or during a set period. Changes
in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may
be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well
as capital loss. Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent
any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date.
These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments. The sale of a warrant results in a long or short-term
capital gain or loss depending on the period for which the warrant is held.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Repurchase Agreements&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund has agreed to purchase securities from financial
institutions subject to the seller&#x2019;s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed-upon time and price (&#x201c;repurchase agreements&#x201d;).
The financial institutions with whom the Fund enters into repurchase agreements are banks and broker/dealers, which the Investment Adviser
considers creditworthy. The seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain the value of the securities as collateral,
subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The Investment Adviser monitors the mark-to-market
of the value of the collateral, and, if necessary, requires the seller to maintain additional securities, so that the value of the collateral
is not less than the repurchase price. Default by or bankruptcy of the seller would, however, expose the Fund to possible loss because
of adverse market action or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;An investment in the Fund&#x2019;s Shares is subject
to risks. The value of the Fund&#x2019;s investments will increase or decrease based on changes in the prices of the investments it holds.
You could lose money by investing in the Fund. By itself, the Fund does not constitute a balanced investment program. You should consider
carefully the following principal risks before investing in the Fund. There may be additional risks that the Fund does not currently
foresee or consider material. You may wish to consult with your legal or tax advisors, before deciding whether to invest in the Fund.
This section describes the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Fund specifically, as well as those factors generally
associated with investment in an investment company with investment objectives, investment policies, capital structure or trading markets
similar to the Fund&#x2019;s. Each risk summarized below is a risk of investing in the Fund and different risks may be more significant
at different times depending upon market conditions or other factors. The Fund bears these risks directly and indirectly through its
investments in other investment companies.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/b&gt;Rights holders who desire to purchase shares in the offering must act promptly to ensure that all required forms and payments are
actually received by the Subscription Agent before the Expiration Date of the offering, unless extended. If you are a beneficial owner
of shares of common stock, you must act promptly to ensure that your broker, custodian bank or other nominee acts for you and that all
required forms and payments are actually received by the Subscription Agent before the Expiration Date. The Fund will not be responsible
if your broker, custodian or nominee fails to ensure that all required forms and payments are actually received by the Subscription Agent
before the Expiration Date. If you fail to complete and sign the required subscription forms, send an incorrect payment amount or otherwise
fail to follow the subscription procedures that apply to your exercise in the offering, the Subscription Agent may, depending on the
circumstances, reject your subscription or accept it only to the extent of the payment received. Neither the Fund nor the Subscription
Agent undertakes to contact you concerning an incomplete or incorrect subscription form or payment, nor is the Fund under any obligation
to correct such forms or payments. The Fund has the sole discretion to determine whether a subscription exercise properly follows the
subscription procedures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stock Market Volatility. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Stock markets
can be volatile. In other words, the prices of stocks can rise or fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company
or industry, changing economic, political or market conditions, inflation, changes in interest rate levels, lack of liquidity in the
markets, volatility in the equities or other securities markets, adverse investor sentiment or political events. The Fund is subject
to the general risk that the value of its investments may decline if the stock markets perform poorly. There is also a risk that the

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The
Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets.
Governments may respond aggressively to such events, including by closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and
the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes
to, many retail and other businesses, which could have negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide.
War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events (and their aftermath) have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market
volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental
disasters, such as, for example, earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and weather-related phenomena generally, as well as
the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including widespread epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak
in 2020, and systemic market dislocations can be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in
non-U.S. and domestic economic and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers,
securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of Fund investments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 resulted in travel
restrictions and disruptions, closed borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in
healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, event cancellations and restrictions, service cancellations or reductions,
disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity, lower consumer demand for goods and services, as well as general
concern and uncertainty that has negatively affected the economic environment. The impact of this outbreak and any other epidemic or
pandemic that may arise in the future could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, the financial
performance of individual issuers, borrowers and sectors and the health of capital markets and other markets generally in potentially
significant and unforeseen ways. This crisis or other public health crises may also exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and
economic risks in certain countries or globally. The foregoing could lead to a significant economic downturn or recession, increased
market volatility, a greater number of market closures, higher default rates and adverse effects on the values and liquidity of securities
or other assets. Such impacts, which may vary across asset classes, may adversely affect the performance of the Fund and a stockholder&#x2019;s
investment in the Fund.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Issuer Specific Changes. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Changes in
the financial condition of an issuer, changes in the specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security
or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect the credit quality or value of an issuer&#x2019;s securities.
Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to these changes than higher-quality debt securities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Closed-End Fund Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Closed-end investment
companies are subject to the risks of investing in the underlying securities. The Fund, as a holder of the securities of the closed-end
investment company, will bear its pro rata portion of the closed-end investment company&#x2019;s expenses, including advisory fees. These
expenses are in addition to the direct expenses of the Fund&#x2019;s own operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Common Stock Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The Fund will invest
a significant portion of its net assets in common stocks. Common stocks represent an ownership interest in a company. The Fund may also
invest in securities that can be exercised for or converted into common stocks (such as convertible preferred stock). Common stocks and
similar equity securities are more volatile and more risky than some other forms of investment. Therefore, the value of your investment
in the Fund may sometimes decrease instead of increase. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes in investors&#x2019;
perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, the general condition of the relevant stock market or when political or economic
events affecting the issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates, as the costs of capital
rise for issuers. Because convertible securities can be converted into equity securities, their values will normally increase or decrease
as the values of the underlying equity securities increase or decrease. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are structurally
subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company&#x2019;s capital structure in terms of priority to
corporate income and assets and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such
issuers.&lt;/p&gt;

of adverse market or economic conditions, the Fund may temporarily invest all or a substantial portion of its net assets in cash or cash
equivalents. The Fund would not be pursuing its investment objective in these circumstances and could miss favorable market developments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Foreign Securities Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Investments
in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve special risks not presented by investments in securities of U.S. issuers, including the following:
less publicly available information about companies due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards or regulatory practices;
the impact of political, social or diplomatic events, including war; possible seizure, expropriation or nationalization of the company
or its assets; possible imposition of currency exchange controls; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These risks are more
pronounced to the extent that the Fund invests a significant amount of its investments in companies located in one region. These risks
may be greater in emerging markets and in less developed countries. For example, prior governmental approval for foreign investments
may be required in some emerging market countries, and the extent of foreign investment may be subject to limitation in other emerging
countries. With respect to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Fund does not expect to engage in foreign
currency hedging transactions. See &#x201c;Foreign Currency Risk.&#x201d;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Global Market Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;An investment in
Fund shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. The Fund is subject to
the risk that geopolitical and other similar events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level. For instance, war, terrorism,
market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, political changes or diplomatic developments, public health emergencies
(such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics) and natural/environmental disasters can all negatively impact the
securities markets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Managed Distribution Policy Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Under
the Fund&#x2019;s Distribution Policy, the Fund makes monthly distributions to Stockholders at a rate that may include periodic distributions
of its net income and net capital gains (&#x201c;Net Earnings&#x201d;), or from return-of-capital. For any fiscal year where total cash
distributions exceeded Net Earnings (the &#x201c;Excess&#x201d;), the Excess would decrease the Fund&#x2019;s total assets and, as a result,
would have the likely effect of increasing the Fund&#x2019;s expense ratio. There is a risk that the total Net Earnings from the Fund&#x2019;s
portfolio would not be great enough to offset the amount of cash distributions paid to Stockholders. If this were to be the case, the
Fund&#x2019;s assets would be depleted, and there is no guarantee that the Fund would be able to replace the assets. In addition, in order
to make such distributions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio, including securities purchased with the
proceeds of the Offering, at a time when independent investment judgment might not dictate such action. Furthermore, such assets used
to make distributions will not be available for investment pursuant to the Fund&#x2019;s investment objective. The Fund adopted the Distribution
Policy in 2002, and during recent years the Fund&#x2019;s distributions have exceeded its Net Earnings. The Fund may use the proceeds
of the Offering to maintain the Distribution Policy by providing funding for future distributions, which may constitute a return of capital
to Stockholders and lower the tax basis in their Shares which, for the taxable Stockholders, will defer any potential gains until the
Shares are sold. For the taxable Stockholders, the portion of distribution that constitutes ordinary income and/or capital gains is taxable
to such Stockholders in the year the distribution is declared. A return of capital is non-taxable to the extent of the Stockholder&#x2019;s
basis in the shares. The Stockholders would reduce their basis (but not below zero) in the Shares by the amount of the distribution and
therefore may result in an increase in the amount of any taxable gain on a subsequent disposition of such Shares, even if such Shares
are sold at a loss to the Stockholder&#x2019;s original investment amount. Any return of capital will be separately identified when Stockholders
receive their tax statements. Any return of capital that exceeds cost basis may be treated as capital gain. Stockholders are advised
to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund. The Fund may need to raise additional
capital in order to maintain the Distribution Policy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The following table is provided to demonstrate the
historical components of the Distribution Policy. The average annual returns indicated below include the return of Stockholders&#x2019;
capital invested in the Fund. A return of capital distribution does not reflect positive investment performance. Stockholders should
not draw any conclusions about the Fund&#x2019;s investment performance from the amount of its managed distributions or from the terms
of the Distribution Policy. The Fund&#x2019;s managed distribution rates do not correlate to the Fund&#x2019;s total return based on NAV
because the Fund&#x2019;s Distribution Policy maintains a stable, high rate of distribution to its Stockholders, and such distributions
are not tied to the Fund&#x2019;s investment income or capital gains and do not represent yield or investment return on the Fund&#x2019;s
portfolio.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Management Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The Fund is subject
to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. The Fund&#x2019;s successful pursuit of its investment objective depends
upon the Investment Adviser&#x2019;s ability to find and exploit market inefficiencies with respect to undervalued securities. Such situations
occur infrequently and sporadically and may be difficult to predict and may not result in a favorable pricing opportunity that allows
the Investment Adviser to fulfill the Fund&#x2019;s investment objective. The Investment Adviser&#x2019;s security selections and other
investment decisions might produce losses or cause the Fund to underperform when compared to other funds with similar investment goals.
If one or more key individuals leave the employ of the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser may not be able to hire qualified replacements
or may require an extended time to do so. This could prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Investment Adviser
may also benefit from the Offering because its fee is based on the assets of the Fund, which could be perceived as a conflict of interest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Other Investment Company Securities Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The
Fund may invest in the securities of other closed-end investment companies and in ETFs. Investing in other investment companies and ETFs
involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but the total return on such investments at
the investment company level may be reduced by the operating expenses and fees of such other investment companies, including advisory
fees. To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment company securities, those assets will be subject to the risks
of the purchased investment company&#x2019;s portfolio securities, and a Stockholder in the Fund will bear not only his proportionate
share of the expenses of the Fund, but also, indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment company. There can be no assurance that
the investment objective of any investment company or ETF in which the Fund invests will be achieved.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Although the Fund currently does not intend to use
financial leverage, the securities of other investment companies in which the Fund invests may be leveraged, which will subject the Fund
to the risks associated with the use of leverage. Such risks include, among other things, the likelihood of greater volatility of the
net asset value and market price of such shares; the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on the borrowings of such investment companies,
or in the dividend rates on preferred shares that they must pay, will cause the yield on the shares of such companies to fluctuate more
than the yield generated by unleveraged shares; and the effect of leverage in a declining market, which is likely to cause a greater
decline in the net asset value of such shares than if such companies did not use leverage, which may result in a greater decline in the
market price of such shares.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline"&gt;Non-Principal Risks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In addition to the principal risks set forth above,
the following additional risks may apply to an investment in the Fund.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Anti-Takeover Provisions. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The Fund&#x2019;s
Charter and Bylaws include provisions that could limit the ability of other persons or entities to acquire control of the Fund or to
cause it to engage in certain transactions or to modify its structure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Convertible Securities Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The value
of a convertible security, including, for example, a warrant, is a function of its &#x201c;investment value&#x201d; (determined by its
yield in comparison with the yields of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a conversion privilege) and
its &#x201c;conversion value&#x201d; (the security&#x2019;s worth, at market value, if converted into the underlying common stock). The
investment value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates
increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors may also have an effect on the
convertible security&#x2019;s investment value. The conversion value of a convertible security is determined by the market price of the
underlying common stock. If the conversion value is low relative to the investment value, the price of the convertible security is governed
principally by its investment value. Generally, the conversion value decreases as the convertible security approaches maturity. To the
extent the market price of the underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible security
will be increasingly influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security generally will sell at a premium over its conversion
value by the extent to which investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding a fixed income security.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;A convertible security may be subject to redemption
at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible security&#x2019;s governing instrument. If a convertible security
held by the Fund is called for redemption, the Fund will be required to permit the issuer to redeem the security, convert it into the
underlying common stock or sell it to a third party. Any of these actions could have an adverse effect on the Fund&#x2019;s ability to
achieve its investment objective.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Credit Risk.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Fixed income securities
rated B or below by S&amp;amp;Ps or Moody&#x2019;s may be purchased by the Fund. These securities have speculative characteristics and changes
in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of those issuers to make principal or interest
payments, as compared to issuers of more highly rated securities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Debt Security Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;In addition to
interest rate risk, call risk and extension risk, debt securities are also subject to the risk that they may also lose value if the issuer
fails to make principal or interest payments when due, or the credit quality of the issuer falls.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Extension Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The Fund is subject
to the risk that an issuer will exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation held by that Fund (such as mortgage-backed securities)
later than expected. This may happen when there is a rise in interest rates. These events may lengthen the duration (&lt;i&gt;i.e.&lt;/i&gt;, interest
rate sensitivity) and potentially reduce the value of these securities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Foreign Currency Risk&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Although the
Fund will report its net asset value and pay expenses and distributions in U.S. dollars, the Fund may invest in foreign securities denominated
or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the U.S. dollar
value of the Fund&#x2019;s investment securities and net asset value. For example, even if the securities prices are unchanged on their
primary foreign stock exchange, the Fund&#x2019;s net asset value may change because of a change in the rate of exchange between the U.S.
dollar and the trading currency of that primary foreign stock exchange. Certain currencies are more volatile than those of other countries
and Fund investments related to those countries may be more affected. Generally, if a foreign currency depreciates against the dollar
(&lt;i&gt;i.e.&lt;/i&gt;, if the dollar strengthens), the value of the existing investment in the securities denominated in that currency will decline.
When a given currency appreciates against the dollar (&lt;i&gt;i.e.&lt;/i&gt;, if the dollar weakens), the value of the existing investment in the
securities denominated in that currency will rise. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of foreign securities
issuers to make payments of principal and interest to investors located outside of the country, due to a blockage of foreign currency
exchanges or otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Illiquid Securities. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The Fund may invest
up to 15% of its respective net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities may offer a higher yield than securities which are
more readily marketable, but they may not always be marketable on advantageous terms. The sale of illiquid securities often requires
more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on national
securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. A security traded in the U.S. that is not registered under the Securities Act
will not be considered illiquid if Fund management determines that an adequate investment trading market exists for that security. However,
there can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist for any security at a particular time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Interest Rate Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Debt securities
have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates
rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage securities can be more sensitive to interest
rate changes although they usually offer higher yields to compensate investors for the greater risks. The longer the maturity of the
security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security&#x2019;s price. In addition, short-term and long-term
interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term
interest rates and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Investment in Small and Mid-Sized Capitalization
Companies.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The Fund may invest in companies with small or midsized capital structures (generally a market capitalization of $5
billion or less). Accordingly, the Fund may be subject to the additional risks associated with investment in these companies. The market
prices of the securities of such companies tend to be more volatile than those of larger companies. Further, these securities tend to
trade at a lower volume than those of larger more established companies. If the Fund is heavily invested in these securities and the
value of these securities suddenly declines, that Fund will be susceptible to significant losses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Leverage Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Utilization of leverage
is a speculative investment technique and involves certain risks to the holders of common stock. These include the possibility of higher
volatility of the net asset value of the common stock and potentially more volatility in the market value of the common stock. So long
as the Fund is able to realize a higher net return on its investment portfolio than the then current cost of any leverage together with
other related expenses, the effect of the leverage will be to cause holders of common stock to realize higher current net investment
income than if the Fund were not so leveraged. On the other hand, to the extent that the then current cost of any leverage, together
with other related expenses, approaches the net return on the Fund&#x2019;s investment portfolio, the benefit of leverage to holders of
common stock will be reduced, and if the then current cost of any leverage were to exceed the net return on the Fund&#x2019;s portfolio,
the Fund&#x2019;s leveraged capital structure would result in a lower rate of return to Stockholders than if the Fund were not so leveraged.
There can be no assurance that the Fund&#x2019;s leverage strategy will be successful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Market Discount from Net Asset Value. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Shares
of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. This characteristic is a risk separate
and distinct from the risk that the Fund&#x2019;s net asset value could decrease as a result of its investment activities and may be greater
for investors expecting to sell their Shares in a relatively short period following completion of the Offering. The net asset value of
the Shares will be reduced immediately following the Offering as a result of the payment of certain costs of the Offering. Whether investors
will realize gains or losses upon the sale of the Shares will depend not upon the Fund&#x2019;s net asset value but entirely upon whether
the market price of the Shares at the time of sale is above or below the investor&#x2019;s purchase price for the Shares. Because the
market price of the Shares will be determined by factors such as relative supply of and demand for the Shares in the market, general
market and economic conditions, and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, the Fund cannot predict whether the Shares will trade
at, below or above net asset value.&lt;/p&gt;

Adviser cannot predict the Fund&#x2019;s securities portfolio turnover rate with certain accuracy, but anticipates that its annual portfolio
turnover rate will normally range between 10% and 90% under normal market conditions. However, it could be materially higher under certain
conditions. Higher portfolio turnover rates could result in corresponding increases in brokerage commissions and may generate short-term
capital gains taxable as ordinary income.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Preferred Securities Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Investment
in preferred securities carries risks including credit risk, deferral risk, redemption risk, limited voting rights, risk of subordination
and lack of liquidity. Fully taxable or hybrid preferred securities typically contain provisions that allow an issuer, at its discretion,
to defer distributions for up to 20 consecutive quarters. Traditional preferreds also contain provisions that allow an issuer, under
certain conditions to skip (in the case of &#x201c;noncumulative preferreds&#x201d;) or defer (in the case of &#x201c;cumulative preferreds&#x201d;),
dividend payments. If the Fund owns a preferred security that is deferring its distributions, the Fund may be required to report income
for tax purposes while it is not receiving any distributions. Preferred securities typically contain provisions that allow for redemption
in the event of tax or security law changes in addition to call features at the option of the issuer. In the event of a redemption, the
Fund may not be able to reinvest the proceeds at comparable rates of return. Preferred securities 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 securities are subordinated
to bonds and other debt instruments in a company&#x2019;s capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and liquidation payments,
and therefore will be subject to greater credit risk than those debt instruments. Preferred securities may be substantially less liquid
than many other securities, such as U.S. government securities, corporate debt or common stocks. Dividends paid on preferred securities
will generally not qualify for the reduced federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Code. See &#x201c;Certain
Additional Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.&#x201d;&lt;/p&gt;

Risk&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Investments in REITs will subject the Fund to various risks. The first, real estate industry risk, is the risk that REIT
share prices will decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry and real property values. In general, real
estate values can be affected by a variety of factors, including supply and demand for properties, the economic health of the country
or of different regions, and the strength of specific industries that rent properties. REITs often invest in highly leveraged properties.
The second risk is the risk that returns from REITs, which typically are small or medium capitalization stocks, will trail returns from
the overall stock market. The third, interest rate risk, is the risk that changes in interest rates may hurt real estate values or make
REIT shares less attractive than other income producing investments. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by
borrowers and self-liquidation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Qualification as a REIT under the Code in any particular
year is a complex analysis that depends on a number of factors. There can be no assurance that the entities in which the Fund invests
with the expectation that they will be taxed as a REIT will qualify as a REIT. An entity that fails to qualify as a REIT would be subject
to a corporate level tax, would not be entitled to a deduction for dividends paid to its stockholders and would not pass through to its
stockholders the character of income earned by the entity. If the Fund were to invest in an entity that failed to qualify as a REIT,
such failure could drastically reduce the Fund&#x2019;s yield on that investment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;REITs can be classified as equity REITs, mortgage
REITs and hybrid REITs. Equity REITs invest primarily in real property and earn rental income from leasing those properties. They may
also realize gains or losses from the sale of properties. Equity REITs will be affected by conditions in the real estate rental market
and by changes in the value of the properties they own. Mortgage REITs invest primarily in mortgages and similar real estate interests
and receive interest payments from the owners of the mortgaged properties. They are paid interest by the owners of the financed properties.
Mortgage REITs will be affected by changes in creditworthiness of borrowers and changes in interest rates. Hybrid REITs invest both in
real property and in mortgages. Equity and mortgage REITs are dependent upon management skills, may not be diversified and are subject
to the risks of financing projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Dividends paid by REITs will not generally qualify
for the reduced U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Code, provided, however, the Fund may designate
certain dividends from a REIT as &#x201c;Section 199A dividends,&#x201d; which may be taxed to individual Stockholders and other non-corporate
Stockholders at a reduced effective U.S. federal income tax rate depending on whether certain requirements are satisfied. Investors should
see the discussion under the heading &#x201c;Certain Additional Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences&#x201d; for more
information relating to Section 199A dividends.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund&#x2019;s investment in REITs may include
an additional risk to Stockholders. Some or all of a REIT&#x2019;s annual distributions to its investors may constitute a non-taxable
return of capital. Any such return of capital will generally reduce the Fund&#x2019;s basis in the REIT investment, but not below zero.
To the extent the distributions from a particular REIT exceed the Fund&#x2019;s basis in such REIT, the Fund will generally recognize
gain. In part because REIT distributions often include a nontaxable return of capital, Fund distributions to Stockholders may also include
a nontaxable return of capital. Stockholders that receive such a distribution will also reduce their tax basis in their shares of the
Fund, but not below zero. To the extent the distribution exceeds a Stockholder&#x2019;s basis in the Fund shares, such Stockholder will
generally recognize capital gain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Repurchase Agreement Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The Fund
does not enter into nor does it currently intend to enter into repurchase agreements, however, if the Fund were to enter into repurchase
agreements, the Fund could suffer a loss if the proceeds from a sale of the securities underlying a repurchase agreement to which it
is a party turns out to be less than the repurchase price stated in the agreement. In addition, repurchase agreements may involve risks
in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund&#x2019;s ability to dispose
of the underlying securities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Securities Lending Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Securities
lending is subject to the risk that loaned securities may not be available to the Fund on a timely basis and the Fund may, therefore,
lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. Any loss in the market price of securities loaned by the Fund that
occurs during the term of the loan would be borne by the Fund and would adversely affect the Fund&#x2019;s performance. Also, there may
be delays in recovery, or no recovery, of securities loaned or even a loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities
fail financially while the loan is outstanding. The Fund retains the right to recall securities that it lends to enable it to vote such
securities if it determines such vote to be material. Despite its right to recall securities lent, there can be no guarantee that recalled
securities will be received timely to enable the Fund to vote those securities. The Fund does not anticipate having any securities lending
income during the current calendar year.&lt;/p&gt;

perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, the general condition of the relevant stock market or when political or economic
events affecting the issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates, as the costs of capital
rise for issuers. Because convertible securities can be converted into equity securities, their values will normally increase or decrease
as the values of the underlying equity securities increase or decrease. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are structurally
subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company&#x2019;s capital structure in terms of priority to
corporate income and assets and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such
issuers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Foreign Securities Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Investments
in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve special risks not presented by investments in securities of U.S. issuers, including the following:
less publicly available information about companies due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards or regulatory practices;
the impact of political, social or diplomatic events, including war; possible seizure, expropriation or nationalization of the company
or its assets; possible imposition of currency exchange controls; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These risks are more
pronounced to the extent that the Fund invests a significant amount of its investments in companies located in one region. These risks
may be greater in emerging markets and in less developed countries. For example, prior governmental approval for foreign investments
may be required in some emerging market countries, and the extent of foreign investment may be subject to limitation in other emerging
countries. With respect to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Fund does not expect to engage in foreign
currency hedging transactions. See &#x201c;Foreign Currency Risk.&#x201d;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Managed Distribution Policy Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Under
the Fund&#x2019;s Distribution Policy, the Fund makes monthly distributions to Stockholders at a rate that may include periodic distributions
of its net income and net capital gains (&#x201c;Net Earnings&#x201d;), or from return-of-capital. For any fiscal year where total cash
distributions exceeded Net Earnings (the &#x201c;Excess&#x201d;), the Excess would decrease the Fund&#x2019;s total assets and, as a result,
would have the likely effect of increasing the Fund&#x2019;s expense ratio. There is a risk that the total Net Earnings from the Fund&#x2019;s
portfolio would not be great enough to offset the amount of cash distributions paid to Stockholders. If this were to be the case, the
Fund&#x2019;s assets would be depleted, and there is no guarantee that the Fund would be able to replace the assets. In addition, in order
to make such distributions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio, including securities purchased with the
proceeds of the Offering, at a time when independent investment judgment might not dictate such action. Furthermore, such assets used
to make distributions will not be available for investment pursuant to the Fund&#x2019;s investment objective. The Fund adopted the Distribution
Policy in 2002, and during recent years the Fund&#x2019;s distributions have exceeded its Net Earnings. The Fund may use the proceeds
of the Offering to maintain the Distribution Policy by providing funding for future distributions, which may constitute a return of capital
to Stockholders and lower the tax basis in their Shares which, for the taxable Stockholders, will defer any potential gains until the
Shares are sold. For the taxable Stockholders, the portion of distribution that constitutes ordinary income and/or capital gains is taxable
to such Stockholders in the year the distribution is declared. A return of capital is non-taxable to the extent of the Stockholder&#x2019;s
basis in the shares. The Stockholders would reduce their basis (but not below zero) in the Shares by the amount of the distribution and
therefore may result in an increase in the amount of any taxable gain on a subsequent disposition of such Shares, even if such Shares
are sold at a loss to the Stockholder&#x2019;s original investment amount. Any return of capital will be separately identified when Stockholders
receive their tax statements. Any return of capital that exceeds cost basis may be treated as capital gain. Stockholders are advised
to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund. The Fund may need to raise additional
capital in order to maintain the Distribution Policy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The following table is provided to demonstrate the
historical components of the Distribution Policy. The average annual returns indicated below include the return of Stockholders&#x2019;
capital invested in the Fund. A return of capital distribution does not reflect positive investment performance. Stockholders should
not draw any conclusions about the Fund&#x2019;s investment performance from the amount of its managed distributions or from the terms
of the Distribution Policy. The Fund&#x2019;s managed distribution rates do not correlate to the Fund&#x2019;s total return based on NAV
because the Fund&#x2019;s Distribution Policy maintains a stable, high rate of distribution to its Stockholders, and such distributions
are not tied to the Fund&#x2019;s investment income or capital gains and do not represent yield or investment return on the Fund&#x2019;s
portfolio.&lt;/p&gt;

to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. The Fund&#x2019;s successful pursuit of its investment objective depends
upon the Investment Adviser&#x2019;s ability to find and exploit market inefficiencies with respect to undervalued securities. Such situations
occur infrequently and sporadically and may be difficult to predict and may not result in a favorable pricing opportunity that allows
the Investment Adviser to fulfill the Fund&#x2019;s investment objective. The Investment Adviser&#x2019;s security selections and other
investment decisions might produce losses or cause the Fund to underperform when compared to other funds with similar investment goals.
If one or more key individuals leave the employ of the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser may not be able to hire qualified replacements
or may require an extended time to do so. This could prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Investment Adviser
may also benefit from the Offering because its fee is based on the assets of the Fund, which could be perceived as a conflict of interest.&lt;/p&gt;

involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but the total return on such investments at

or in the dividend rates on preferred shares that they must pay, will cause the yield on the shares of such companies to fluctuate more
than the yield generated by unleveraged shares; and the effect of leverage in a declining market, which is likely to cause a greater

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Convertible Securities Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The value
of a convertible security, including, for example, a warrant, is a function of its &#x201c;investment value&#x201d; (determined by its
yield in comparison with the yields of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a conversion privilege) and
its &#x201c;conversion value&#x201d; (the security&#x2019;s worth, at market value, if converted into the underlying common stock). The
investment value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates
increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors may also have an effect on the
convertible security&#x2019;s investment value. The conversion value of a convertible security is determined by the market price of the
underlying common stock. If the conversion value is low relative to the investment value, the price of the convertible security is governed
principally by its investment value. Generally, the conversion value decreases as the convertible security approaches maturity. To the
extent the market price of the underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible security
will be increasingly influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security generally will sell at a premium over its conversion
value by the extent to which investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding a fixed income security.&lt;/p&gt;

at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible security&#x2019;s governing instrument. If a convertible security
held by the Fund is called for redemption, the Fund will be required to permit the issuer to redeem the security, convert it into the
underlying common stock or sell it to a third party. Any of these actions could have an adverse effect on the Fund&#x2019;s ability to
achieve its investment objective.&lt;/p&gt;

Fund will report its net asset value and pay expenses and distributions in U.S. dollars, the Fund may invest in foreign securities denominated
or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the U.S. dollar
value of the Fund&#x2019;s investment securities and net asset value. For example, even if the securities prices are unchanged on their
primary foreign stock exchange, the Fund&#x2019;s net asset value may change because of a change in the rate of exchange between the U.S.
dollar and the trading currency of that primary foreign stock exchange. Certain currencies are more volatile than those of other countries
and Fund investments related to those countries may be more affected. Generally, if a foreign currency depreciates against the dollar
(&lt;i&gt;i.e.&lt;/i&gt;, if the dollar strengthens), the value of the existing investment in the securities denominated in that currency will decline.
When a given currency appreciates against the dollar (&lt;i&gt;i.e.&lt;/i&gt;, if the dollar weakens), the value of the existing investment in the
securities denominated in that currency will rise. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of foreign securities
issuers to make payments of principal and interest to investors located outside of the country, due to a blockage of foreign currency
exchanges or otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;

up to 15% of its respective net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities may offer a higher yield than securities which are
more readily marketable, but they may not always be marketable on advantageous terms. The sale of illiquid securities often requires
more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on national
securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. A security traded in the U.S. that is not registered under the Securities Act
will not be considered illiquid if Fund management determines that an adequate investment trading market exists for that security. However,
there can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist for any security at a particular time.&lt;/p&gt;

have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates
rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage securities can be more sensitive to interest
rate changes although they usually offer higher yields to compensate investors for the greater risks. The longer the maturity of the
security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security&#x2019;s price. In addition, short-term and long-term
interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term
interest rates and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.&lt;/p&gt;

is a speculative investment technique and involves certain risks to the holders of common stock. These include the possibility of higher
volatility of the net asset value of the common stock and potentially more volatility in the market value of the common stock. So long
as the Fund is able to realize a higher net return on its investment portfolio than the then current cost of any leverage together with
other related expenses, the effect of the leverage will be to cause holders of common stock to realize higher current net investment
income than if the Fund were not so leveraged. On the other hand, to the extent that the then current cost of any leverage, together
with other related expenses, approaches the net return on the Fund&#x2019;s investment portfolio, the benefit of leverage to holders of
common stock will be reduced, and if the then current cost of any leverage were to exceed the net return on the Fund&#x2019;s portfolio,

in preferred securities carries risks including credit risk, deferral risk, redemption risk, limited voting rights, risk of subordination
and lack of liquidity. Fully taxable or hybrid preferred securities typically contain provisions that allow an issuer, at its discretion,
to defer distributions for up to 20 consecutive quarters. Traditional preferreds also contain provisions that allow an issuer, under
certain conditions to skip (in the case of &#x201c;noncumulative preferreds&#x201d;) or defer (in the case of &#x201c;cumulative preferreds&#x201d;),
dividend payments. If the Fund owns a preferred security that is deferring its distributions, the Fund may be required to report income
for tax purposes while it is not receiving any distributions. Preferred securities typically contain provisions that allow for redemption
in the event of tax or security law changes in addition to call features at the option of the issuer. In the event of a redemption, the
Fund may not be able to reinvest the proceeds at comparable rates of return. Preferred securities 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 securities are subordinated
to bonds and other debt instruments in a company&#x2019;s capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and liquidation payments,
and therefore will be subject to greater credit risk than those debt instruments. Preferred securities may be substantially less liquid
than many other securities, such as U.S. government securities, corporate debt or common stocks. Dividends paid on preferred securities
will generally not qualify for the reduced federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Code. See &#x201c;Certain

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Real Estate Investment Trust (&#x201c;REIT&#x201d;)
Risk&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Investments in REITs will subject the Fund to various risks. The first, real estate industry risk, is the risk that REIT
share prices will decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry and real property values. In general, real
estate values can be affected by a variety of factors, including supply and demand for properties, the economic health of the country
or of different regions, and the strength of specific industries that rent properties. REITs often invest in highly leveraged properties.
The second risk is the risk that returns from REITs, which typically are small or medium capitalization stocks, will trail returns from
the overall stock market. The third, interest rate risk, is the risk that changes in interest rates may hurt real estate values or make
REIT shares less attractive than other income producing investments. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by
borrowers and self-liquidation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Qualification as a REIT under the Code in any particular
year is a complex analysis that depends on a number of factors. There can be no assurance that the entities in which the Fund invests
with the expectation that they will be taxed as a REIT will qualify as a REIT. An entity that fails to qualify as a REIT would be subject
to a corporate level tax, would not be entitled to a deduction for dividends paid to its stockholders and would not pass through to its
stockholders the character of income earned by the entity. If the Fund were to invest in an entity that failed to qualify as a REIT,
such failure could drastically reduce the Fund&#x2019;s yield on that investment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;REITs can be classified as equity REITs, mortgage
REITs and hybrid REITs. Equity REITs invest primarily in real property and earn rental income from leasing those properties. They may
also realize gains or losses from the sale of properties. Equity REITs will be affected by conditions in the real estate rental market
and by changes in the value of the properties they own. Mortgage REITs invest primarily in mortgages and similar real estate interests
and receive interest payments from the owners of the mortgaged properties. They are paid interest by the owners of the financed properties.
Mortgage REITs will be affected by changes in creditworthiness of borrowers and changes in interest rates. Hybrid REITs invest both in
real property and in mortgages. Equity and mortgage REITs are dependent upon management skills, may not be diversified and are subject
to the risks of financing projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Dividends paid by REITs will not generally qualify
for the reduced U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Code, provided, however, the Fund may designate
certain dividends from a REIT as &#x201c;Section 199A dividends,&#x201d; which may be taxed to individual Stockholders and other non-corporate
Stockholders at a reduced effective U.S. federal income tax rate depending on whether certain requirements are satisfied. Investors should
see the discussion under the heading &#x201c;Certain Additional Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences&#x201d; for more
information relating to Section 199A dividends.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund&#x2019;s investment in REITs may include
an additional risk to Stockholders. Some or all of a REIT&#x2019;s annual distributions to its investors may constitute a non-taxable
return of capital. Any such return of capital will generally reduce the Fund&#x2019;s basis in the REIT investment, but not below zero.
To the extent the distributions from a particular REIT exceed the Fund&#x2019;s basis in such REIT, the Fund will generally recognize
gain. In part because REIT distributions often include a nontaxable return of capital, Fund distributions to Stockholders may also include
a nontaxable return of capital. Stockholders that receive such a distribution will also reduce their tax basis in their shares of the
Fund, but not below zero. To the extent the distribution exceeds a Stockholder&#x2019;s basis in the Fund shares, such Stockholder will
generally recognize capital gain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Repurchase Agreement Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The Fund
does not enter into nor does it currently intend to enter into repurchase agreements, however, if the Fund were to enter into repurchase
agreements, the Fund could suffer a loss if the proceeds from a sale of the securities underlying a repurchase agreement to which it
is a party turns out to be less than the repurchase price stated in the agreement. In addition, repurchase agreements may involve risks
in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund&#x2019;s ability to dispose
of the underlying securities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Securities Lending Risk. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Securities
lending is subject to the risk that loaned securities may not be available to the Fund on a timely basis and the Fund may, therefore,
lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. Any loss in the market price of securities loaned by the Fund that
occurs during the term of the loan would be borne by the Fund and would adversely affect the Fund&#x2019;s performance. Also, there may
be delays in recovery, or no recovery, of securities loaned or even a loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities
fail financially while the loan is outstanding. The Fund retains the right to recall securities that it lends to enable it to vote such
securities if it determines such vote to be material. Despite its right to recall securities lent, there can be no guarantee that recalled
securities will be received timely to enable the Fund to vote those securities. The Fund does not anticipate having any securities lending
income during the current calendar year.&lt;/p&gt;
