On November 29, 2006, this distribution policy was 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 each 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 their 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, which will either be 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. The Fund 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 this distribution policy at any time and such termination may have an adverse effect on the market price for the Fund&#8217;s common shares. The Fund determines annually whether to distribute any net realized long-term capital gains in excess of net realized short-term capital losses, including capital loss carryovers, if any. To the extent that the Fund&#8217;s taxable income in any calendar year exceeds the aggregate amount distributed pursuant to this distribution policy, an additional distribution may be made to avoid the payment of a 4% U.S. federal excise tax, and to the extent that the aggregate amount distributed in any calendar year exceeds the Fund&#8217;s taxable income, the amount of that excess may constitute a return-of-capital for tax purposes.

In making such fair value determinations, the Investment Manager is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single method exists for determining fair value, because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of a security being valued would be the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale. Methods that are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market prices of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debit issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Fair-value pricing is permitted if , in the Investment Manager&#8217;s opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before the Fund&#8217;s NAV calculation that may affect a security&#8217;s value, or the Investment Manager is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations.

The Independent Directors concluded that the Fund&#8217;s fee structure was not unreasonable and that the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund was in the best interests of its stockholders. In considering the Agreement&#8217;s renewal, the Independent Directors considered a variety of factors, including those discussed above, and also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy and the securities markets). The Independent Directors did not identify any one factor as determinative, and each Independent Director may have weighed each factor differently. The Independent Directors&#8217; noted that their conclusions may be based in part on the Board&#8217;s ongoing regular review of the Fund&#8217;s performance and operations throughout the year. Accordingly, in light of the above considerations and such other factors and information it considered relevant, the Board by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Independent Directors) approved the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Stockholders who do not wish to have Distributions automatically reinvested should so notify the Agent at 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.

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 ice (<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.

To the extent that the Agent is unable to terminate 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 if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund.
