investment management and business affairs, and also by AAML and AAMISL, as applicable, and other service providers in connection with the services they provide to the Funds. Each of AAMAL, AAML and AAMISL, as applicable, and other service providers
have their own, independent interest in risk management, and their policies and methods of risk management will depend on their functions and business models. As part of its regular oversight of each Fund, the respective Board, directly and/or
through a Committee, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, AAMAL, AAML and AAMISL, as applicable, and each Fund&#146;s other service providers (including the Funds&#146; transfer agent), the Funds&#146; Chief Compliance Officer, the
Funds&#146; independent registered public accounting firm, legal counsel to the Funds, and internal auditors, as appropriate, relating to the operations of the Funds. The Boards also require AAMAL to report to the Boards on other matters relating to
risk management on a regular and as-needed basis. The Boards recognize that it may not be possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Funds or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. Each
Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Board and Committee Meetings in

the site of an annual meeting of shareholders at the time of such meeting, one or more of such Directors will attend the meeting. However, since a majority of the Funds&#146; Directors reside outside of the United States, the Funds recognize that it
would be impractical for most Directors to attend such meetings and would create a significant expense for the Funds. In light of the fact that the residences of most Directors are substantial distances from the location of the annual meetings of
shareholders and that, historically, few shareholders have attended the annual meetings in person, the Funds have not established a policy with respect to Director attendance at annual meetings of shareholders. No Directors attended the 2010 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders for any of the Funds. </FONT></P>

fiscal year ending October&nbsp;31, 2011. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (&#147;PwC&#148;), 300 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017, an independent registered public accounting firm, was the independent registered public accounting firm for the
Funds for the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2008. At the meetings held on June&nbsp;9, 2009, each Audit and Valuation Committee and each Board engaged KPMG to replace PwC as the independent registered public accounting firm for its Fund.

statements of such periods. Representatives from KPMG are not expected to be present at the Meeting to make a statement or respond to questions from shareholders. However, such representatives are expected to be available by telephone to respond to
questions raised by shareholders, if any, during the Meeting. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Each Audit and Valuation Committee has received
