<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">I am writing to ask for your assistance with an important matter involving your investment in the John Hancock Bank and Thrift Opportunity Fund. The
Board of Trustees of your fund has implemented a number of important initiatives designed to enhance shareholder value. In August of this year, the Board approved a 30% increase in the annualized distribution rate from 5.0% of the fund&#146;s net
asset value to 6.5% of the fund&#146;s net asset value. Additionally, the Board approved an amendment to the fund&#146;s 80% investment policy to provide the investment team with greater flexibility to take advantage of market opportunities by
investing in a broader range of financial services companies. In connection with the change to the fund&#146;s investment policy, the Board also approved changing the fund&#146;s name to John Hancock Financial Opportunities Fund. The investment
policy and name changes are scheduled to become effective on December&nbsp;14, 2012. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to the changes described above, the Board
approved a few additional proposals expected to enhance value for shareholders, which require your approval to be effected. The enclosed Proxy Statement includes instructions on how to cast your vote on these proposals. I encourage you to read the
attached materials in their entirety, and if you have any questions, please contact us at 1-866-859-8682. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Revisions to, or elimination of,
fundamental investment restrictions </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The fund&#146;s shareholders had previously voted in favor of allowing the fund to utilize leverage by
issuing equity securities and debt. You are being asked at this meeting to approve a proposal to amend the current fundamental investment restriction regarding borrowing in order to permit the fund to utilize leverage by borrowing from banks and
other financial institutions for investment purposes. The change being proposed would provide the fund with flexibility to use the proceeds of borrowed money to take advantage of market opportunities by investing in additional portfolio securities
when the return from such investments is expected to exceed the cost of borrowing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, you are being asked to approve the elimination
of an unnecessary fundamental investment restriction on pledging assets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Amendments to the investment advisory and subadvisory agreements
</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In connection with the proposal described above relating to borrowing, you are being asked to approve amendments to the fund&#146;s
advisory and subadvisory agreements to reflect the inclusion of assets purchased with borrowed funds in the calculation of the advisory and subadvisory fees. To the extent that the fund borrows for investment purposes, the fund&#146;s adviser and
subadviser would have additional responsibilities and would expend additional resources and effort in managing the amounts borrowed. Accordingly, you are being asked to approve the revisions to the advisory and subadvisory agreements in order to
compensate the adviser and the subadviser on all of the fund&#146;s assets that they would manage. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Approval of these proposals would not
increase the contractual rates at which advisory or the subadvisory fees are charged. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board of Trustees of BTO recommends that shareholders approve a proposal to amend the fund&#146;s fundamental investment restriction
limiting the fund&#146;s ability to borrow money. If shareholders approve this proposal, the fund would be permitted to increase its assets available for investment by borrowing from banks and other financial institutions, an investment strategy
commonly referred to as &#147;leverage&#148;. The fund can currently utilize leverage by issuing equity securities and debt, but not by borrowing. The proposed change is therefore designed to permit the fund to utilize an additional form of
leverage. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Trustees also recommend that shareholders approve a proposal to remove the fund&#146;s fundamental investment
restriction regarding pledging, hypothecating, mortgaging and otherwise encumbering its assets. If shareholders approve this proposal, the fund would be permitted to pledge, hypothecate and mortgage its assets without the current limitations.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because these two restrictions are fundamental, they cannot be changed without shareholder approval. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><A NAME="tx442388_3"></A>Proposal 1(a): Amendment of Fundamental Investment Restriction Relating to Borrowing. </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">BTO currently has a fundamental investment policy regarding borrowing money and issuing senior securities that permits the fund to issue
senior securities including equity or debt securities such as preferred shares, notes and bonds. This investment restriction, however, places limits on the amount of money that the fund may borrow and the purposes for which the fund may borrow
money. BTO may borrow money in connection with the repurchase or retirement of securities, or tender offers, to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;1940 Act&#148;), and for temporary or emergency
purposes in an amount not to exceed 5% of its total assets. BTO can also issue short-term credits necessary for settlement of securities transactions. The current limitations on borrowing are more restrictive than those imposed by the 1940 Act.
BTO&#146;s current investment restriction on borrowing is stated as follows: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;The fund may not borrow, except that
(a)&nbsp;the fund may issue senior securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, (b)&nbsp;short-term credits necessary for settlement of securities transactions are not considered
borrowings, (c)&nbsp;the fund may borrow up to 5% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) for temporary or emergency purposes and (d)&nbsp;the fund may borrow to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act pending the orderly
disposition of portfolio securities sufficient to repay such borrowings in connection with the funding of repurchases or retirement of securities, or tender offers.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">BTO&#146;s proposed investment borrowing restriction is as follows: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;The
fund may not issue senior securities or borrow, except as permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and as interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The revised policy would permit the fund to borrow money and issue senior securities for any purpose to the fullest extent permitted by
the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. This revision, if approved by the fund&#146;s shareholders, would provide the fund with the flexibility to take advantage of investment opportunities when the Adviser and the Subadviser believe that the return
from the additional investment would exceed the cost of borrowings. To the extent that the income and/or capital appreciation derived from securities purchased with borrowed money exceeds the cost of such leverage, the fund&#146;s return will be
greater than if leverage had not been used. The use of leverage through borrowings, therefore, creates an opportunity for increased net investment income and/or capital appreciation. The fund&#146;s Adviser and Subadviser have experience managing
seven other funds within the John Hancock Complex that utilize leverage by borrowing. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While the use of leverage through borrowings creates potential benefits to the fund&#146;s
shareholders, it also creates risks. Increases and decreases in the value of the fund&#146;s portfolio may be magnified when the fund uses leverage. Thus, the use of leverage may cause greater volatility of net asset value, market price and dividend
rate of the fund&#146;s shares. The fund will incur interest expense on borrowed money and may be required to pay a commitment, structuring or other fee in connection with borrowings. If the implementation of this strategy does not prove successful,
the cost of borrowings may exceed the income and appreciation on the assets purchased with such borrowings. If the returns from the securities purchased are not sufficient to cover these expenses, the amount available for distribution to
shareholders will be less than if leverage had not been used. The Adviser may determine nonetheless to maintain the fund&#146;s leveraged position if it expects that the long-term benefits to the fund&#146;s shareholders of maintaining the leveraged
position will outweigh the current reduced return. Borrowings may result in the fund being subject to covenants in credit facility agreements relating to asset coverage and portfolio composition requirements, which may be more stringent than those
imposed by the 1940 Act. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If Proposals 2(a) and 2(b) below are approved, the fees paid to the Adviser and Subadviser will be
calculated on the basis of the fund&#146;s gross assets, including proceeds from the borrowings. The contractual fee rate will remain the same with respect to the first $500 million of the fund&#146;s average daily gross assets and would decrease
with respect to any assets in excess of $500 million, but the aggregate fee will be higher during periods when leverage is utilized, which may create an incentive for the Adviser and the Subadviser to employ leverage. However, the Adviser and the
Subadviser intend to leverage the fund only when they believe that the potential return on the additional investments acquired through the use of leverage is likely to exceed the costs incurred in connection with the borrowings. The Board of
Trustees will monitor this potential conflict. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Trustees of BTO have considered the proposal to amend the fund&#146;s
fundamental investment restriction. In the course of their evaluation, the Trustees considered several factors, including the risks to which the fund may be exposed as a result of leverage, the fact that the fund&#146;s distributions to shareholders
may increase or decrease, the fact that the fund will bear the expenses of borrowings, and the Adviser&#146;s and the Subadviser&#146;s potential conflict described above and experience in managing closed-end funds with leverage through borrowings.
As a result of their consideration of the above factors and other relevant information, the Trustees of BTO recommend that shareholders approve Proposal 1(a). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><A NAME="tx442388_4"></A>Proposal 1(b): Elimination of Fundamental Investment Restriction Relating to Pledging, Mortgaging and Hypothecating Assets. </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">BTO&#146;s current investment restriction related to pledging, mortgaging and hypothecating assets is as follows: </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;The fund may not pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber its assets, except to secure borrowings or issue senior
securities permitted by the preceding paragraph. Collateral arrangements with respect to margin, option and other risk management and when-issued and forward commitment transactions are not deemed to be pledges or other encumbrances for purposes of
this restriction.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although BTO is permitted to pledge assets in connection with securing borrowings or issuing senior
securities, the elimination of this restriction is recommended to ensure flexibility to engage in such borrowing and other transactions, which may require the fund to encumber its assets, in response to changing market conditions and circumstances.
If shareholders approve the elimination of this restriction, the fund&#146;s ability to pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber its assets will be increased. If the fund were to encumber certain of its assets, it would result in the
fund&#146;s creditors having a lien on such assets. The fund could be required to maintain such encumbered assets in a segregated account at a third party custodian and to grant its creditors control over such assets. Such liens and/or control
arrangements could limit the ability of the fund to sell or otherwise dispose of such assets and could grant the fund&#146;s creditors with control and disposition rights with respect to such assets. Eliminating this restriction is also being
recommended to promote uniformity among the John Hancock group of funds. In addition, there is no express requirement under the 1940 Act that BTO have a fundamental policy regarding pledging, hypothecating, mortgaging or otherwise encumbering its
assets and, accordingly, the Board recommends that this fundamental investment restriction be eliminated to avoid unnecessary restrictions. </FONT></P>

subadvisory fees. In using leverage as described above, the fund would increase its assets with the goal of increasing return to shareholders, potentially yielding a higher return from the investment of those assets than the costs of such borrowing.
The current method for calculating advisory fee and the subadvisory fee does not take into account the fund&#146;s use of such leverage. If Proposal 2(a) is approved, the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the fund to the Adviser would remain
the same with respect to the first $500 million of the fund&#146;s average daily gross assets and, if the fund&#146;s gross assets exceed $500 million, the fee rate with respect to assets in excess of $500 million, would decrease as described below.
If Proposal 2(b) is approved, the contractual subadvisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Subadviser will not change. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Current

pays the Adviser an advisory fee equal to 1.15% of the fund&#146;s average daily net assets. Under the current subadvisory agreement, the Adviser pays the Subadviser a subadvisory fee equal to 0.40% of the fund&#146;s average daily net assets. The
fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fee. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Proposed Calculation of Advisory and Subadvisory Fees Under the Advisory

&#147;gross assets&#148; and change the advisory fee rate to 1.00% with respect to the fund&#146;s average daily gross assets in excess of $500 million. Proposal 2(b) seeks to amend the calculation of investment subadvisory fee from &#147;net
assets&#148; to &#147;gross assets&#148;. Gross assets would be defined as &#147;total assets of the fund, including any form of investment leverage, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations, but not excluding any
liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage obtained through (i)&nbsp;indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility/commercial paper program or other forms of borrowings or the
issuance of debt securities), (ii)&nbsp;the issuance of preferred shares or other similar preference securities, and/or (iii)&nbsp;any other means.&#148; &#147;Any other means&#148; in (iii)&nbsp;would include any instrument existing now or created
in the future that would involve an obligation of the fund to repay a third party (i.e. reverse repurchase agreement). Because the fund&#146;s gross assets are currently less than $500 million (even if the fund employs leverage through borrowings
equal to 25% of its current gross assets), the proposed change to the advisory agreement would not change the contractual fee rate payable by the fund to the Adviser. Similarly, as noted above, the proposed change to the subadvisory agreement would
not change the contractual fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Subadviser. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although the proposed changes to the advisory
and subadvisory agreements would not change the contractual fee rates based on the fund&#146;s current assets, the assets upon which such fees are calculated would be increased to include borrowings and the effect of leveraging the fund. If
investment leverage is not used, the proposed amendments will not result in any change to the amount of the advisory and subadvisory fees (assuming no change in the fund&#146;s asset level). If investment leverage is used, the aggregate amount of
advisory fee incurred by the fund and the subadvisory fee incurred by the Adviser would increase, even though the </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">
contractual fee rates would remain the same or would be reduced, depending on the fund&#146;s asset level. The proposed change may provide the Adviser and Subadviser with an incentive to increase
the gross assets by borrowing and, thus, the Adviser and the Subadviser may have differing interests from the fund in determining whether the fund&#146;s assets should be leveraged. The Board of Trustees will monitor this potential conflict of
interest to ensure that the use of leverage is beneficial to the fund and its shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Without the proposed change to the
advisory and subadvisory fee structure, however, there would be a disincentive for the Adviser and the Subadviser to utilize leverage in managing the fund&#146;s assets. For this reason, it is commonplace in the mutual fund industry for investment
advisers to be compensated upon the gross assets that they manage. This is also consistent with the fees received for management of other leveraged funds. Assuming that Proposal 1(a) is approved, the size of the fund that the Adviser and Subadviser
would be required to manage if the fund utilizes leverage through borrowings would increase, together with the costs to the Adviser and Subadviser associated with managing a larger fund. As a result of managing a larger fund, the Adviser and
Subadviser would face increased management, administration and compliance costs and responsibilities. However, under the current advisory and subadvisory agreements, the fees paid to them would not increase and would no longer be directly aligned
with the size of the fund. The Board of Trustees believes it is appropriate to align the size of the fund and Adviser&#146;s and Subadviser&#146;s costs proportionally with the compensation paid to the Adviser and the Subadviser. The proposed
amendments would achieve this by allowing the Adviser and Subadviser to be paid at their current fee rates on all of the fund&#146;s assets that they would manage. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

the Adviser&#146;s advisory fee and to change the advisory fee with respect to any gross assets in excess of $500 million and (ii)&nbsp;the amendment to the current subadvisory agreement (the &#147;Subadvisory Agreement Amendment&#148;) to change
the base amount used to calculate the Subadviser&#146;s investment subadvisory fee. The Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement Amendments are set forth on Appendix A to this Proxy Statement, marked to show changes from the relevant

Board determined that it was appropriate to rely upon its recent consideration of the factors considered in connection with the annual evaluation of the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements conducted at the in-person meetings held on May&nbsp;6-8 and
June&nbsp;3-5, 2012. A discussion of the basis of the Board&#146;s approval of the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements is included in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

a leveraged strategy. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and the

the fund and the investment performance record of the fund over the longer and shorter time periods. The Board also considered the investment professionals&#146; experience and performance record
in managing other portfolios with investment styles similar to the fund&#146;s investment strategy after implementation of its new 80% investment policy and related change to its name, which are scheduled to become effective in December of this
year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to evaluating the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser, the
Board further considered that the Adviser and Subadviser would be responsible for managing the additional borrowed assets and would be required to expend additional resources in managing such assets. In addition, the use of leverage would increase
the complexity of the administrative and oversight responsibilities associated with securing and monitoring leverage for the fund. The Board noted that the Adviser and Subadviser would be unwilling to continue managing the fund on a leveraged basis
unless the increased costs in managing such a fund are compensated through the fees that each of them receives. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board
reviewed the fund&#146;s contractual advisory fee rate payable by the fund to the Adviser as compared to the other funds in its expense group and the investment subadvisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Subadviser for investment subadvisory
services. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by the Adviser and the Subadviser to other clients with similar investment mandates, including other registered investment companies, institutional investors and separate
accounts. The Board considered the expense ratio of the fund on a historical basis and after giving effect to leverage and the benefits to the Adviser and the Subadviser from the revised fee calculation in the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory
Agreement Amendments. The Board reviewed the fund&#146;s advisory fee and expense ratios against those of comparable funds. The Board also received information about the investment subadvisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Subadviser for
investment subadvisory services. The Board noted that on a historical basis the fund&#146;s net expense ratio was equal to the applicable median of a group of comparable funds determined by Lipper, an independent third party. (See Appendix B for
further details.) The Board also noted that after the implementation of the new 80% investment policy and after giving effect to leverage of approximately 25%, there would be only one other leveraged fund in the fund&#146;s peer group and that the
fund&#146;s advisory fee and net expense ratio would be in line with that fund. The Board noted that the fees charged by the Adviser and the Subadviser were reasonable based on average advisory and subadvisory fees and operating expenses for
comparable funds, including open-end funds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as
the assets of the fund increase but recognized that there is limited ability to grow assets for a closed-end fund. The Board noted that the Adviser has agreed to reduce the advisory fee rate from 1.15% to 1.00% of the fund&#146;s average daily gross
assets in excess of $500 million and that the fund may benefit from such breakpoint. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Based on its review, the Board, including
the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and Subadvisory Agreement Amendment for the fund, including the advisory and subadvisory fee rates, were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the fund
and its shareholders, and the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Advisory Agreement Amendment and Subadvisory Agreement Amendment for the fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Fund&#146;s investment advisory agreement (the &#147;Advisory Agreement&#148;) with John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the &#147;Adviser&#148;), the Fund&#146;s investment adviser. The Board also considered the approval of the investment subadvisory
agreement (the &#147;Subadvisory Agreement&#148;) among the Adviser, Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC (the &#147;Subadviser&#148;) and the Fund. The Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement are referred to as the &#147;Agreements.&#148;

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On June&nbsp;3-5, 2012, the Board consisted of nine individuals, seven of whom were Independent Trustees. &#147;Independent Trustees&#148; are generally those individuals who are not employed by or have
any significant business or professional relationship with the Adviser or the Subadviser. The Trustees are responsible for the oversight of operations of the Fund and perform various duties required of directors of investment companies by the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;1940 Act&#148;). The Independent Trustees have independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Board has appointed an Independent Trustee as Chairman. On
June&nbsp;3-5, 2012, the Board had four standing committees that were composed entirely of Independent Trustees: the Audit Committee; the Compliance Committee; the Nominating, Governance and Administration Committee; and the Contracts&nbsp;&amp;
Operations Committee. Additionally, on June&nbsp;3-5, 2012, Investment Performance Committee A was a standing committee of the Board composed of Independent Trustees and one Trustee who is affiliated with the Adviser. Investment Performance
Committee A was responsible for overseeing and monitoring matters relating to the investment performance of the Fund. The Board also designated an Independent Trustee as Vice Chairman to serve in the absence of the Chairman. The Board also
designates working groups or ad hoc committees as it deems appropriate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>The approval process </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements each year. Throughout the year, the Board, acting directly and
through its committees, regularly reviews and assesses the quality of the services that the Fund receives under these Agreements. The Board reviews reports of the Adviser at least quarterly, which include Fund performance reports and compliance
reports. In addition, the Board meets with portfolio managers and senior investment officers at various times throughout the year. The Board considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of
the Agreements, including the services and support provided by the Adviser and Subadviser to the Fund and its shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Prior to the
May&nbsp;6-8, 2012 meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The materials provided in connection with the May meeting included information compiled and prepared by Lipper, a Thomson Reuters company
(&#147;Lipper&#148;), on Fund fees and expenses, the investment performance of the Fund and other matters including the prices at which Fund shares have traded. This Fund information is assembled in a format that permits comparison with similar
information from a Category and a subset of the Category referred to as the Expense Group, each as determined by Lipper, and with the Fund&#146;s benchmark index. The Category includes all funds that invest similarly to the way the Fund invests. The
Expense Group represents funds of similar size, excluding passively managed funds and funds-of-funds. The Fund&#146;s benchmark index is an unmanaged index of securities that is provided as a basis for comparison with the Fund&#146;s performance.
Other material provided for the Fund review included (a)&nbsp;information on the profitability of the Agreements to the Adviser and a discussion of any additional benefits to the Adviser or Subadviser or their affiliates that result from being the
Adviser or Subadviser to the Fund; (b)&nbsp;a general analysis provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and other investment companies, having similar

for the operations of the Fund. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of the Adviser&#146;s administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered the Adviser&#146;s and its affiliate&#146;s policies and procedures for

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board viewed favorably the Adviser&#146;s agreement to limit its administration fees to 0.10%. The Board favorably
considered the impact of this agreement towards lowering the Fund&#146;s Gross Expense Ratio. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board received and reviewed statements
relating to the Adviser&#146;s financial condition and was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by the Adviser for services under the Advisory Agreement, as well as from other
relationships between the Fund and the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board reviewed the Adviser&#146;s profitability with respect to the Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011 compared to
available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010. The Board reviewed the Adviser&#146;s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Adviser and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed the
Adviser&#146;s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board also considered a comparison of the Adviser&#146;s profitability to that of a limited number of other investment advisers whose profitability information is publicly available. The Board
recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Adviser, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of
profitability is limited. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board considered limited profitability information with respect to the Subadviser, which is affiliated with the
Adviser. In addition,&nbsp;as noted above, the Board considered&nbsp;basic assumptions and methodology for allocating expenses in the Subadviser&#146;s profitability information. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Economies of scale </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the extent to
which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Fund increase but recognized that there is limited ability to grow assets for a closed-end fund. Possible changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to
participate in these economies of scale (e.g., through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee at higher asset levels) are periodically discussed. The Board also considered the Adviser&#146;s overall operations and its ongoing investment in its
business in order to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations that benefit the Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board recognized the inherent
limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board&#146;s understanding that most of the Adviser&#146;s costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Other benefits to the Adviser and the Subadviser </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board understands that the Adviser, the Subadviser or their affiliates may derive other ancillary benefits from their relationship with the Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as their ability to
leverage investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in their profile in the investment advisory community and the engagement of their affiliates and/or significant shareholders as service providers to the Fund, including for
administrative and distribution services. The Board believes that certain of these benefits are difficult to quantify. The Board also was informed that the Subadviser may use third-party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual
fund transactions to assist itself in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement each for an additional one-year term. Based upon its evaluation of relevant factors in their
totality, the Board was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements, including the advisory and subadvisory fee rates, were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the
Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or any group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together. Different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The
Independent Trustees were also assisted by independent legal counsel in making this determination. The Trustees&#146; conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years and on their ongoing regular review of
Fund performance and operations throughout the year. </FONT></P>
