investments are subject to market risk, which may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Fixed income investments, including convertible securities, are
subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, and prepayment and extension risk. These risks may be more pronounced for longer-term securities and high-yield securities (&#147;junk bonds&#148;). In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall
and vice versa. Convertible securities are subject to both the risks of their security type prior to conversion as well as their security type after conversion. The Corporation&#146;s use of leverage, including through its preferred stock, exposes
it to greater risks due to unanticipated market movements, which may magnify losses and increase volatility of returns. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>You should consider the
