for the Director to remain on the Board. With respect to Directors representing the holders of common stock, the Retirement Policy provides that an individual shall not be nominated for election as a Class I, Class II or Class III Director

contribution to the Fund after reaching the age of 70, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may determine not to accept such resignation, in which case the retiring Director may serve as a Common Stock Director for one additional year.

</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund has outstanding 24,000 shares of Auction Market Preferred Stock, designated as Series&nbsp;A&#151;I, with an aggregate
liquidation preference of $600 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;18 of the 1940 Act requires that the holders of any preferred shares, voting
separately as a single class without regard to series, have the right to elect at least two Directors at all times. The Board of Directors of the Fund, including the Independent Directors, upon the recommendation of the Board&#146;s Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee, which is composed entirely of Independent Directors, has nominated Messrs. William J. Potter and&nbsp;Brian M. Sherman to serve as Preferred Directors until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2009 and
until their successors are duly elected and qualify. Mr.&nbsp;Potter was previously elected by stockholders as a Class III Director to serve until the 2009 Annual Meeting. Mr.&nbsp;Sherman was previously elected by stockholders as a Class II
Director to serve until the 2008 Annual Meeting. Pursuant to the Retirement Policy, as discussed below, the Fund&#146;s current Preferred Directors, Mr.&nbsp;Anthony&nbsp;E. Aaronson and Dr.&nbsp;Anton&nbsp;E. Schrafl, are not eligible to stand for
re-election as Preferred Directors when their respective one-year terms expire at the 2008 Annual Meeting. Based upon the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee&#146;s recommendation, the Board has determined to redesignate and nominate
Messrs. William J. Potter, who was previously elected as a Class III Director to serve for a three-year term expiring at the 2009 Annual Meeting, and Brian M. Sherman, who was previously elected as a Class II Director to serve for a three-year term
expiring at the 2008 Annual Meeting, to serve as Preferred Directors for one-year terms until the 2009 Annual Meeting. The nominees have indicated an intention to serve if elected and have consented to be named in this Proxy Statement. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As indicated above, the Board of Directors has adopted a retirement policy providing for the retirement of Directors at the age of 70, subject to
annual review thereafter by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to determine whether it is then in the best interests of the Fund for the Director to remain on the Board. With respect to Directors representing the holders of preferred

individual shall have attained 70 years of age prior to the Nomination Meeting. The policy further provides that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may nominate as a Preferred Director an individual who
shall have attained 70 years of age prior to the Nomination Meeting, if the Committee determines, after taking into consideration the nominee&#146;s age, ability to contribute to the Board, experience and institutional knowledge, that the nominee

qualifications: (i)&nbsp;a nominee shall have at least five years&#146; experience in either investment management, economics, public accounting or Australian business; (ii)&nbsp;a nominee shall have a college undergraduate or graduate degree in
economics, finance, business administration, accounting or engineering, or a professional degree in law, engineering, or medicine, from an accredited university or college in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada or New Zealand,

SIZE="2">Generally, in the event that any of the Fund&#146;s Directors are geographically close to the site of an annual meeting of stockholders at the time of such meeting, one or more of such Directors will attend the meeting. However, since a
majority of the Fund&#146;s Directors reside outside of the United States, the Fund recognizes that it would be impractical for most Directors to attend such meetings and would create a significant expense for the Fund. In light of the fact that the
residences of most Directors are substantial distances from the location of the annual meetings of stockholders and that, historically, few stockholders have attended annual meetings in person, the Fund has not established a policy with respect to
Director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders. No Directors attended the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Compensation of Directors and

the Fund is a part for the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2007. Officers of the Fund and Directors who are interested persons of the Fund do not receive any compensation directly from the Fund or any other fund in the Fund Complex for performing
their duties as officers or Directors, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Each Independent Director of the Fund receives a retainer fee of $21,000 per year and
a fee of $1,500&nbsp;per meeting for attendance at Board meetings. In addition, the Chairman of the Board receives a fee of $10,000 per year; the Chairman of the Contract Review Committee receives a fee of $5,000 per year; and the Chairman of the
Audit and Valuation Committee receives a fee of $5,000 per year. There are no per meeting fees for attendance at meetings of the Board&#146;s standing committees (Contract Review Committee, Audit and Valuation Committee, Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee). Members of ad hoc committees of the Board receive a fee of $500 per meeting attended and the Chairman of each ad hoc committee receives an additional fee of $500 per meeting attended. However, the fees for attendance at ad hoc
committee meetings may be less than $500 per meeting, in certain instances where committee meetings are held jointly with committee meetings of other funds in the same Fund Complex. At the December 2007 Board of Directors meeting, the Board, based
upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, approved, effective as of January&nbsp;1, 2008, an increase in the attendance fee for Board meetings from $1,500 per meeting to $2,000 per meeting, and an increase in the
additional annual retainer receivable by the Chairman of the Board from $10,000 to $12,000. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Investment Manager, Investment Adviser and Service Affiliates during the period of the Auditor&#146;s engagement to provide audit services to the Fund, if those services directly impact the Fund&#146;s operations and financial reporting. Audit
services include those typically associated with the annual audit such as evaluation of internal controls. Non-audit services include (i)&nbsp;certain services that are audit-related, such as consultations regarding financial accounting and
reporting standards and confirmations required under the terms of the AMPS, and (ii)&nbsp;tax services. Certain services may not be provided by the Auditor to the Fund or to the Fund&#146;s Service Affiliates without jeopardizing the Auditor&#146;s
independence. These services are deemed prohibited services and include certain management functions; human resources services; broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; legal services; and expert services unrelated to the
audit. Other services are conditionally prohibited and may be provided if the Audit and Valuation Committee reasonably concludes that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the client&#146;s financial
statements. These types of services include bookkeeping; financial information systems design and implementation; appraisal or valuation services; actuarial services; and internal audit outsourcing services. </FONT></P> <P

approval of the engagement by at least a majority of the Fund&#146;s Independent Directors. In determining whether to engage the Auditor for its audit services, the Audit and Valuation Committee will consider the Auditor&#146;s proposed fees for the
engagement, in light of the scope and nature of the audit services that the Fund will receive. The Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures also permit the Audit and Valuation Committee to pre-approve the provisions of types or categories of permissible
non-audit services for the Fund and its Service Affiliates on an annual basis at the time of the Auditor&#146;s engagement and on a project-by-project basis. At the time of the annual engagement of the Fund&#146;s Auditor, the Audit and Valuation
Committee is to receive a list of the categories of expected non-audit services with a description and an estimated budget of fees. In its pre-approval, the Audit and Valuation Committee should determine that the provision of the service is
consistent with, and will not impair, the ongoing independence of the Auditor and set any limits on fees or other conditions it finds appropriate. Non-audit services may also be approved on a project-by-project basis by the Audit and Valuation
Committee consistent with the same standards for determination and information. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Audit and Valuation Committee may also appoint a
