statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">N-14,</FONT> together with all exhibits thereto (File <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;333-274660),</FONT> which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the

protection of investors because: (1)&nbsp;the filing was prepared in connection with a proposed issuance of the Fund&#146;s common shares in connection with proposed merger transactions that are no longer contemplated; (2)&nbsp;no securities were
sold or exchanged in connection with the offering; and (3)&nbsp;the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">N-14</FONT> Filing did not become effective. The Fund requests, in accordance with Rule 457(p) under the 1933 Act, that all fees paid to the
Commission in connection with the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">N-14</FONT> Filing be credited for future use. The Fund understands that, pursuant to Rule 477(b) under the 1933 Act, this application of withdrawal will be deemed granted at the
time filed with the Commission unless, within 15 calendar days after the filing, the Commission notifies the Fund that the application for withdrawal will not be granted. </P>
