<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=7 face=serif>Fund performance</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>By John Hancock Asset Management a division of </FONT><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Preferred securities </FONT></B><FONT size=2 face=serif>posted gains during the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, outpacing U.S. investment-grade bonds and performing in line with common stocks. After a strong first half propelled by robust demand and limited supply, preferred securities came under pressure in late summer and early fall 2011 when the intensifying debt crisis in Europe, economic malaise in the United States and uncertainty about the ability of European and U.S. political leaders to offer credible solutions to those challenges weighed on the sector. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund returned 17.23% at net asset value (NAV) and 13.17% at market price. The difference in the Fund&#8217;s NAV performance and its market performance stems from the fact that the market share price is subject to the dynamics of secondary market trading, which could cause it to trade at a discount or premium to the Fund&#8217;s NAV share price at any time. In the same one-year period, the broad stock market, as measured by the S&amp;P 500 Index, returned 8.09%. By comparison, the group of preferred-stock closed-end funds tracked by UBS Securities LLC returned an average of 7.51% at NAV and 8.96% at market price. Meanwhile, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 5.00%, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock DRD-Eligible Index rose 8.86% and the S&amp;P 400 MidCap Utilities Index gained 16.20%.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Among the Fund&#8217;s best performers were utility common stocks FirstEnergy Corp., NiSource, Inc. and OGE Energy Corp., which were heavily favored by investors seeking shelter from economic and market uncertainty. BGE Capital Trust II was another solid performer, bolstered by similar trends. Elsewhere, the high price of oil helped energy-related holdings Chevron Corp. and Spectra Energy Corp. Among financial preferreds securities, Wells Fargo &amp; Company was a standout, generating solid results based in part on its improving financial condition and strong management team. Among the biggest detractors were holdings in the preferred securities of European financial companies Deutsche Bank and Barclays Bank PLC, which came under heavy selling pressure as investors worried about the companies&#8217; exposure to the debt of troubled European nations. Among U.S. financial holdings, Morgan Stanley also performed poorly amid rumors &#8212; that so far have not been proven to be warranted &#8212; that the company had a large exposure to French banks with holdings in European peripheral countries&#8217; debt.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Past performance is no guarantee of future results.</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>The Fund normally will invest at least 25% of its managed assets in securities of companies in the utilities industry. Such an investment focus makes the Fund more susceptible to factors adversely affecting the utilities industry than a more broadly diversified fund.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund (the Fund) is a closed-end diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act).</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Note 2 &#8212; Significant accounting policies</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Security valuation. </FONT></B><FONT size=2 face=serif>Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 </FONT><FONT size=1 face=serif>P</FONT><FONT size=2 face=serif>.</FONT><FONT size=1 face=serif>M</FONT><FONT size=2 face=serif>.</FONT><FONT size=2 face=serif>, Eastern Time. The Fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes securities valued using significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Fund&#8217;s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>In order to value the securities, the Fund uses the following valuation techniques. Equity securities held by the Fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal securities exchange on which they trade. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, then securities are valued using the last quoted bid or evaluated price. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service. Certain securities traded only in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last bid price quoted by brokers making markets in the securities at the close of trading. Certain short-term securities are valued at amortized cost. Other portfolio securities and assets, where market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Fund&#8217;s Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees.</FONT></P>

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except for dividends of foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. </FONT><FONT size=2 face=serif>In those cases, dividend income is recorded when the Fund becomes aware of the dividends.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Note 3 &#8212; Derivative instruments</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objectives. The use of derivatives may involve risks different from, or potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Specifically, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but there is no assurance that the counterparty will meet its contractual obligations or that the Fund will succeed in enforcing them.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on over-the-counter derivatives. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the Fund is held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the Fund and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the Fund is held in a segregated account at the Fund&#8217;s custodian and is noted in the accompanying portfolio of investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statement of assets and liabilities. As of October 31, 2011, $270,000 was posted by the Fund for the benefit of counterparties.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Interest rate swaps. </FONT></B><FONT size=2 face=serif>Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between a Fund and counterparty to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates applied to a notional amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. The Fund settles accrued net interest receivable or payable under the swap contracts at specific, future intervals. Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or broker quotations, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. A termination payment by the counterparty or the Fund is recorded as realized gain or loss, as well as the net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk that may amount to values that are in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for the swap, or that a counterparty may default on its obligation or delay payment under the swap terms. The counterparty may disagree or contest the terms of the swap. Market risks may also accompany the swap, including interest rate risk. The Fund may also suffer losses if it is unable to terminate or assign outstanding swaps or reduce its exposure through offsetting transactions.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Fund used interest rate swaps in anticipation of rising interest rates. The following table summarizes the interest rate swap contracts held as of October 31, 2011.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund utilizes a Committed Facility Agreement to increase its assets available for investment. When the Fund leverages its assets, common shareholders bear the fees associated with the credit facility and have the potential to benefit or be disadvantaged from the use of leverage. The Adviser&#8217;s fee is also increased in dollar terms from the use of leverage. Consequently, the Fund and the Adviser may have differing interests in determining whether to leverage the Fund&#8217;s assets. Leverage creates risks that may adversely affect the return for the holders of common shares, including:</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of common shares</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; fluctuations in the interest rate paid for the use of the credit facility</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; increased operating costs, which may reduce the Fund&#8217;s total return</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; the potential for a decline in the value of an investment acquired through leverage, while the </FONT><FONT size=2 face=serif>Fund&#8217;s obligations under such leverage remain fixed</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; the Fund is more likely to have to sell securities in a volatile market in order to meet asset </FONT><FONT size=2 face=serif>coverage or other debt compliance requirements</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>To the extent the income or capital appreciation derived from securities purchased with funds received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Fund&#8217;s return will be greater than if leverage had not been used; conversely, returns would be lower if the cost of the leverage exceeds the income or capital appreciation derived.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>In addition to the risks created by the Fund&#8217;s use of leverage, the Fund is subject to the risk that it would be unable to timely, or at all, obtain replacement financing if the CFA is terminated. Were this to happen, the Fund would be required to de-leverage, selling securities at a potentially inopportune time and incurring tax consequences. Further, the Fund&#8217;s ability to generate income from the use of leverage would be adversely affected.</FONT></P>

Absent a default or a facility termination event, BNP is required to provide the Fund with 360 days&#8217; notice prior to terminating or amending the CFA.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund has an agreement with BNP that allows BNP to borrow a portion of the pledged collateral (Lent Securities) in an amount not to exceed the lesser of: (i) outstanding borrowings owed by the Fund to BNP and (ii) thirty-three and one-third percent of the Fund&#8217;s total assets. The Fund can designate any security within the pledged collateral as ineligible to be a Lent Security and can recall any of the Lent Securities. The Fund also has the right to apply and set-off an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the then-current fair market value of such Lent Securities against the current borrowings under the CFA in the event that BNP fails to timely return the Lent Securities and in certain other circumstances. In such circumstances, however, the Fund may not be able to obtain replacement financing required to purchase replacement securities and, consequently, the Fund&#8217;s income generating potential may decrease. Even if the Fund is able to obtain replacement financing, it might not be able to purchase replacement securities at favorable prices. Income earned from Lent Securities is recorded as a component of interest income on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Fund recorded $129,751 in income from Lent Securities.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Note 10 &#8212; Other matters</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>In July 2010, John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of a purported holder of common shares of the fund relating to the redemption of the Dutch Auction Rate Transferable Securities Preferred Stock (DARTS). In August 2010, shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the Superior Court of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County, by the same law firm on behalf of purported shareholders of two other John Hancock funds advised by the Adviser against the Adviser, the Adviser&#8217;s parent company, Manulife Financial Corporation, and certain individuals. A Joint Motion To Dismiss With Prejudice with respect to these two complaints was filed on February 28, 2011 in the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County. On March 1, 2011, the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss with Prejudice.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>For the year ended October 31, 2011, the results of operations include non-recurring legal fees and expenses of approximately $119,000 related to this matter, which are included in Professional fees on the Statement of operations. The Fund received reimbursement from its insurance provider of $678,635, which is included in expense reductions on the Statement of operations. This insurance recovery relates to current year expenses as well as $730,000 of non-recurring legal fees and expenses incurred during the year ended October 31, 2010. In addition, for the year ended October 31, 2011, the Fund incurred additional Trustees&#8217; fees of approximately $73,000 related to the matter.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund (the &#8220;Fund&#8221;) at October 31, 2011, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, its cash flows and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as &#8220;financial statements&#8221;) are the responsibility of the Fund&#8217;s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Investment objective and policy</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund&#8217;s investment objective is to provide a high current income, consistent with modest growth of capital for holders of its common shares. The Fund will pursue its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of dividend paying preferred securities and common equity securities.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund&#8217;s nonfundamental investment policy, with respect to the quality of ratings of its portfolio investments, was changed by a vote of the Fund&#8217;s Trustees on September 13, 1994. The policy, which became effective October 15, 1994, stipulates that preferred stocks and debt obligations in which the Fund will invest will be rated investment grade (at least BBB by S&amp;P or Baa by Moody&#8217;s) at the time of investment or will be preferred stocks of issuers of investment grade senior debt, some of which may have speculative characteristics, or, if not rated, will be of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser. The Fund will invest in common stocks of issuers whose senior debt is rated investment grade or, in the case of issuers that have no rated senior debt outstanding, whose senior debt is considered by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>On November 20, 2001, the Fund&#8217;s Trustees approved the following investment policy investment restriction change, effective December 15, 2001. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in dividend paying securities. The Fund will notify shareholders at least 60&nbsp;days prior to any change in this 80% investment policy.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>On January 25, 2008, the Fund&#8217;s Trustees approved a change to the Fund&#8217;s investment policy regarding investments in securities of companies in the utilities industry. The Fund&#8217;s non-fundamental investment policy stating that the Fund normally will invest more than 65% of its total assets in securities of companies in the utilities industry was changed to a fundamental policy to state that the Fund normally will invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities of companies in the utilities industry.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Effective October 18, 2010, the Fund&#8217;s name was changed from John Hancock Patriot Premium Dividend Fund II to John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund. This name change had no impact on the investment objective or strategy of the Fund.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>On March 9, 2011, the Board of Trustees approved the following investment policy regarding the use of reverse repurchase agreement transactions:</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Reverse repurchase agreements: </FONT></B><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund may engage in reverse repurchase agreement transactions to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (&#8220;1940 Act&#8221;), and related guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff. The Fund intends to use reverse repurchase agreements to obtain investment leverage either alone and/or in combination with other forms of investment leverage. The Fund may also use reverse repurchase agreement transactions for temporary or emergency purposes. In a reverse repurchase agreement transaction, the Fund temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another party in return for cash. At the same time, the Fund agrees to repurchase the instrument at an agreed upon time and price, which reflects an interest payment. The value of the portfolio securities transferred may substantially exceed the purchase price received by the Fund under the reverse repurchase agreement transaction and, during the life of the reverse repurchase agreement transaction, the Fund may be required to transfer additional securities if the market value of those securities initially transferred declines. In engaging in a reverse repurchase transaction, the Fund</FONT></P>

In accordance with guidance from the SEC and its staff from time to time in effect, the Fund will earmark or segregate liquid assets equal to repayment obligations under the reverse repurchase agreements.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risks. </FONT></B><FONT size=2 face=serif>Reverse repurchase agreement transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is obligated to repurchase under such agreements may decline below the repurchase price. Any fluctuations in the market value of either the securities transferred to the other party or the securities in which the proceeds may be invested would affect the market value of the Fund&#8217;s assets, thereby potentially increasing fluctuations in the market value of the Fund&#8217;s assets. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund&#8217;s use of proceeds received under the agreement may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund&#8217;s obligation to repurchase the securities.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>On June 7, 2011, the Board of Trustees approved the following new investment policy regarding the use of interest rate swaps:</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Interest Rate Swaps. </FONT></B><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swap agreements are privately negotiated agreements between a Fund and counterparty to exchange fixed for floating rate cash flows at specified intervals. Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or broker quotations, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for the swap, that a counterparty may default on its obligation or delay payment under the swap terms. The counterparty may disagree or contest the terms of the swap. Market risks may also accompany the swap, including interest rate risk. The Fund may also suffer losses if it is unable to terminate or assign outstanding swaps or reduce its exposure through offsetting transactions. There can be no guarantee that the Fund&#8217;s hedging will be successful; there are economic costs associated with hedging through the use of interest rate swaps.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Dividend reinvestment plan</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board of Trustees approved certain amendments to the Fund&#8217;s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan that is in effect as of July 1, 2011 is described below.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund&#8217;s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan) provides that distributions of dividends and capital gains are automatically reinvested in common shares of the Fund by The Bank of New York Mellon (the Plan Agent). Every shareholder holding at least one full share of the Fund is entitled to participate in the Plan. In addition, every shareholder who became a shareholder of the Fund after June 30, 2011 and holds at least one full share of the Fund will be automatically enrolled in the Plan. Shareholders may withdraw from the Plan at any time and shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>If the Fund declares a dividend or distribution payable either in cash or in common shares of the Fund and the market price of shares on the payment date for the distribution or dividend equals or exceeds the Fund&#8217;s net asset value per share (NAV), the Fund will issue common shares to participants at a value equal to the higher of NAV or 95% of the market price. The number of additional shares to be credited to each participant&#8217;s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution or dividend by the higher of NAV or 95% of the market price. If the market price is lower than NAV, or if dividends or distributions are payable only in cash, then participants will receive shares purchased by the Plan Agent on participants&#8217; behalf on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) or otherwise on the open market. If the market price exceeds NAV before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases, the average per share purchase price may exceed NAV, resulting in fewer shares being acquired than if the Fund had issued new shares.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>There are no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board of Trustees (the Board, the members of which are referred to as Trustees) of John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund (the Fund) met in-person on May 1&#8211;3 and June 5&#8211;7, 2011 to consider the approval of the Fund&#8217;s investment advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Adviser), the Fund&#8217;s investment adviser. The Board also considered the approval of the investment subadvisory agreement (the Subadvisory Agreement) among the Adviser, Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC (the Subadviser) and the Fund. The Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement are referred to as the Agreements.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Activities and composition of the Board</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board consists of eleven individuals, nine of whom are Independent Trustees. Independent Trustees 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 1940 Act). The Independent Trustees have hired independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Board has appointed an Independent Trustee as Chairperson. The Board has established four standing committees that are composed entirely of Independent Trustees: the Audit Committee; the Compliance Committee; the Nominating, Governance and Administration Committee; and the Contracts/Operations Committee. Additionally, Investment Performance Committee A is a standing committee of the Board that is composed of Independent Trustees and one Trustee who is affiliated with the Adviser. Investment Performance Committee A oversees and monitors matters relating to the investment performance of the Fund. The Board has also designated an Independent Trustee as Vice Chairperson to serve in the absence of the Chairperson. The Board also designates working groups or ad hoc committees as it deems appropriate.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>The approval process</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>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="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Prior to the May 1&#8211;3, 2011 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 Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar) on Fund fees and expenses, and the investment performance of the Fund. This Fund information is assembled in a format that permits comparison with similar information from a Peer Group, as determined by Morningstar, and with the Fund&#8217;s benchmark index. The Peer Group represents funds that invest similarly to the way the Fund invests and funds of similar size, excluding passively managed funds and funds-of-funds. The Fund&#8217;s benchmark index is an unmanaged index of securities that is provided as a basis for comparison with the Fund&#8217;s performance. Other material provided for the Fund review included (a) 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) 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 investment mandates, as well as the performance of those other clients and a comparison of the services provided to those other clients and the services</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>At an in-person meeting held on May 1&#8211;3, 2011, the Board reviewed materials relevant to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the May 1&#8211;3, 2011 meeting, the Board asked the Adviser for additional information on certain matters. The Adviser provided the additional information and the Board also considered this information as part of its consideration of the Agreements.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>At an in-person meeting held on June 5&#8211;7, 2011, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, formally considered the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Fund and the Subadvisory Agreement among the Fund, the Adviser and the Subadviser, each for an additional one-year term.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board also considered other matters important to the approval process, such as payments made to and by the Adviser or its affiliates relating to the distribution of Fund shares and other services.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Fund.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board considered the ability of the Adviser and the Subadviser, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. It considered the background and experience of senior management and investment professionals responsible for managing the Fund. The Board considered the investment philosophy, research and investment decision-making processes of the Adviser and the Subadviser responsible for the daily investment activities of the Fund, including, among other things, portfolio trading capabilities, use of technology, commitment to compliance and approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board considered the Subadviser&#8217;s history and experience providing investment services to the Fund.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under separate agreements.

The Board reviewed a general analysis provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients having similar investment mandates, the services provided to those other clients as compared to the services provided to the Fund, the performance of those other clients as compared to the performance by the Fund and other factors relating to those other clients. The Board considered the significant differences between the Adviser&#8217;s and Subadviser&#8217;s services to the Fund and the services they provide to other clients. For other clients that are not closed-end funds, the differences in services relate to the more burdensome regulatory and legal obligations of closed-end funds, the enhanced management and oversight arising from the public trading of Fund shares on an exchange and the generally higher turnover of closed-end fund portfolio holdings. When compared to all clients including mutual funds, the Adviser has greater oversight and supervisory responsibility for the Fund and undertakes greater entrepreneurial risk as the sponsor of the Fund.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board was provided with reports, independently prepared by Morningstar, which included a comprehensive analysis of the Fund&#8217;s performance.

The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Morningstar data that was prepared by the Adviser, which analyzed various factors that may affect the Morningstar rankings. The Board reviewed information regarding the investment performance of the Fund as compared to its Morningstar Peer Group as well as its benchmark index (see chart below). The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Morningstar to select the funds in the Peer Group. The Board also considered updated performance information provided by the Adviser at its May and June 2011 meetings.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board was aware that the Peer Group includes both unleveraged funds, funds with varying amounts of leverage, and funds that use borrowing and preferred stocks as leverage; that the Peer Group comparison shows advisory fees and expense ratios as percentages of assets attributable to common shares rather than total managed assets; and that the Fund&#8217;s fees and expenses are higher than funds in the Peer Group with lower levels of leverage or funds that leverage with preferred stocks. The Board also reviewed comparative information which adjusted expenses of the Fund and the Peer Group for the cost of leverage or interest expense.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board received and reviewed statements relating to the Adviser&#8217;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&#8217;s profitability with respect to the Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Board reviewed the Adviser&#8217;s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Adviser and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed the Adviser&#8217;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="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board also considered a comparison of the Adviser&#8217;s profitability to that of other similar 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 somewhat limited.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board considered the profitability information with respect to the Subadviser, which is affiliated with the Adviser. In addition, as noted above, the Board considered the assumptions and methodology for allocating expenses in the Subadviser&#8217;s profitability analysis.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Economies of scale</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Fund increase.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board&#8217;s understanding that most of the Adviser&#8217;s costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Other benefits to the Adviser and the Subadviser</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>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>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Board determination</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Fund for an additional one-year term. The Subadvisory Agreement among the Fund, the Adviser and the Subadviser was also approved 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&#8217; 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>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>When a portfolio manager is responsible for the management of more than one account, the potential arises for the portfolio manager to favor one account over another. For the reasons outlined below, the Fund does not believe that any material conflicts are likely to arise out of a portfolio manager&#8217;s responsibility for the management of the Fund as well as one or more other accounts. The Adviser and the Subadviser have adopted procedures, overseen by the Chief Compliance Officer, that are intended to monitor compliance with the policies referred to in the following paragraphs.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>&#8226; The Subadviser has policies that require a portfolio manager to allocate investment opportunities in an equitable manner and generally to allocate such investments proportionately among all accounts with similar investment objectives.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>&#8226; When a portfolio manager intends to trade the same security for more than one account, the policies of the Subadviser generally require that such trades for the individual accounts are aggregated so that each account receives the same price. When not possible or when it may not result in the best possible price, the Subadviser will place the order in a manner intended to result in as favorable a price as possible for such client.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>&#8226; The investment performance on specific accounts is not a factor in determining the portfolio manager&#8217;s compensation. See &#8220;Compensation of Portfolio Managers&#8221; below. Neither the Adviser nor the Subadviser receives a performance-based fee with respect to other accounts managed by the Fund&#8217;s portfolio managers.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>&#8226; The Subadviser seeks to avoid portfolio manager assignments with potentially conflicting situations. However, where a portfolio manager is responsible for accounts with differing investment objectives and policies, it is possible that the portfolio manager will conclude that it is in the best interest of one account to sell a portfolio security while another account continues to hold or increase the holding in such security.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Compensation of portfolio managers</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Subadviser has adopted a system of compensation for portfolio managers and others involved in the investment process that is applied systematically among investment professionals. At the Subadviser, the structure of compensation of investment professionals is currently comprised of the following basic components: base salary and an annual investment bonus plan as well as customary benefits that are offered generally to all full-time employees of the Subadviser. A limited number of senior investment professionals, who serve as officers of both the Subadviser and its parent company, may also receive options or restricted stock grants of common shares of Manulife Financial. The following describes each component of the compensation package for the individuals identified as a portfolio manager for the Funds.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Base salary. Base compensation is fixed and normally reevaluated on an annual basis. The Subadviser seeks to set compensation at market rates, taking into account the experience and responsibilities of the investment professional.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Investment Bonus Plan. Only investment professionals are eligible to participate in the Investment Bonus Plan. Under the plan, investment professionals are eligible for an annual bonus. The plan is intended to provide a competitive level of annual bonus compensation that is tied to the investment professional achieving superior investment performance and aligns the financial incentives of the Subadviser and the investment professional. Any bonus under the plan is completely discretionary, with a maximum annual bonus that may be well in excess of base salary. Payout of a portion of this bonus may be deferred for up to five years. While the amount of any bonus is discretionary, the following factors are generally used in determining bonuses under the plan:</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; Investment Performance: The investment performance of all accounts managed by the investment professional over one- and three-year periods are considered. The pre-tax performance of each account is measured relative to an appropriate peer group benchmark (for example a Morningstar large cap growth peer group if the fund invests primarily in large cap stocks with a growth strategy). With respect to fixed income accounts, relative yields are also used to measure performance.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; The Profitability of the Subadviser: The profitability of the Subadviser and its parent company are also considered in determining bonus awards.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; Non-Investment Performance: To a lesser extent, intangible contributions, including the investment professional&#8217;s support of client service and sales activities, new fund/strategy idea generation, professional growth and development, and management, where applicable, are also evaluated when determining bonus awards.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Options and Stock Grants. A limited number of senior investment professionals may receive options to purchase shares of Manulife Financial stock. Generally, such option would permit the investment professional to purchase a set amount of stock at the market price on the date of grant. The option can be exercised for a set period (normally a number of years or until termination of employment) and the investment professional would exercise the option if the market value of Manulife Financial stock increases.

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="'Times New Roman'" color=black>A &#147;conflict of interest&#148; occurs when a Covered Officer&#146;s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund.&nbsp; For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund. Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between the Covered Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;Investment Company Act&#148;) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;Investment Advisers Act&#148;). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as &#147;affiliated persons&#148; of the Fund. Each of the Covered Officers is an officer or employee of the investment adviser or a service provider (&#147;Service Provider&#148;) to the Fund. The Fund&#146;s, the investment adviser&#146;s and the Service Provider&#146;s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="'Times New Roman'" color=black></FONT>&nbsp;</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="'Times New Roman'" color=black>Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser and the Service Provider of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund, for the investment adviser or for the Service Provider), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on the investment adviser, the Service Provider and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser and the Service Provider and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Thus, if such participation is performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, it will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Fund&#146;s Board of Trustees/Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by other Codes.</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="'Times New Roman'" color=black>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="'Times New Roman'" color=black>Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but the Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of an Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund. </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Each fund of the Trust or any other registered investment company (or series thereof) (each, a &#147;fund&#148;) is required to disclose its proxy voting policies and procedures in its registration statement and, pursuant to Rule 30b1-4 under the 1940 Act, file annually with the Securities and Exchange Commission and make available to shareholders its actual proxy voting record. In this regard, the Trust Policy is set forth below.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Delegation of Proxy Voting Responsibilities</FONT></B></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>It is the policy of the Trust to delegate the responsibility for voting proxies relating to portfolio securities held by a fund to the fund&#146;s investment adviser (&#147;adviser&#148;) or, if the fund&#146;s adviser has delegated portfolio management responsibilities to one or more investment subadviser(s), to the fund&#146;s subadviser(s), subject to the Board&#146;s continued oversight. The subadviser for each fund shall vote all proxies relating to securities held by each fund and in that connection, and subject to any further policies and procedures contained herein, shall use proxy voting policies and procedures adopted by each subadviser in conformance with Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;Advisers Act&#148;).</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Except as noted below under Material Conflicts of Interest, the Trust Policy with respect to a fund shall incorporate that adopted by the fund&#146;s subadviser with respect to voting proxies held by its clients (the &#147;Subadviser Policy&#148;). Each Subadviser Policy, as it may be amended from time to time, is hereby incorporated by reference into the Trust Policy. Each subadviser to a fund is directed to comply with these policies and procedures in voting proxies relating to portfolio securities held by a fund, subject to oversight by the fund&#146;s adviser and by the Board. Each adviser to a fund retains the responsibility, and is directed, to oversee each subadviser&#146;s compliance with these policies and procedures, and to adopt and implement such additional policies and procedures as it deems necessary or appropriate to discharge its oversight responsibility. Additionally, the Trust&#146;s Chief Compliance Officer (&#147;CCO&#148;) shall conduct such monitoring and supervisory activities as the CCO or the Board deems necessary or appropriate in order to appropriately discharge the CCO&#146;s role in overseeing the subadvisers&#146; compliance with these policies and procedures.</FONT></P><P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>The delegation by the Board of the authority to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the funds is entirely voluntary and may be revoked by the Board, in whole or in part, at any time.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>1. Nominees should have a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>2. Nominees should have demonstrated business acumen, experience and ability to exercise sound judgments in matters that relate to the current and long-term objectives of the Funds and should be willing and able to contribute positively to the decision-making process of the Funds.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>3. Nominees should have a commitment to understand the Funds, and the responsibilities of a trustee/director of an investment company and to regularly attend and participate in meetings of the Board and its committees.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>4. Nominees should have the ability to understand the sometimes conflicting interests of the various constituencies of the Funds, including shareholders and the management company, and to act in the interests of all shareholders.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>5. Nominees should not have, nor appear to have, a conflict of interest that would impair their ability to represent the interests of all the shareholders and to fulfill the responsibilities of a director/trustee.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=3 face=serif>Application of Criteria to Current Trustees</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>The renomination of current Trustees should not be viewed as automatic, but should be based on continuing qualification under the criteria set forth above based on, among other things, the current Trustee&#8217;s contribution to the Board and any committee.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=3 face=serif>Review of Nominations</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>1. The Committee believes that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to obtain highly-qualified candidates to serve as members of the Board.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>2. In nominating candidates who would be Independent Trustees, the Committee believes that no particular qualities or skills nor any specific minimum qualifications or disqualifications are controlling or paramount. The Committee shall take into consideration any such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include (but are not limited to) the person&#8217;s character, integrity, judgment, skill, diversity and experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; the interplay of the candidate&#8217;s experience with the experience of other Board members; and the extent to which the candidate would be desirable addition to the Board and any Committees thereof.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>3. While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and recommendation to the Board of Independent Board candidates, the Committee may consider nominees recommended by any source, including Fund shareholders, management and Committee members, as it deems appropriate. Any such recommendations from shareholders shall be directed to the Secretary of the relevant Fund at such address as is set forth in the Fund&#8217;s disclosure documents. Recommendations from management may be submitted to the Committee Chairperson. All recommendations shall include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board members and as specified in the relevant Fund&#8217;s By-Laws, and must be accompanied by a written consent of the proposed candidate to stand for election if nominated for the Board and to serve if elected by shareholders.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>4. The Committee may from time to time establish specific requirements and/or additional factors to be considered for Independent Board candidates as it deems necessary or appropriate.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>5. After its consideration of relevant factors, the Committee shall present its recommendation(s) to the full Board for its consideration.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>As long as a current Independent Trustee continues, in the opinion of the Committee, to satisfy the criteria listed above, the Committee generally would favor the re-nomination of a current Trustee rather than a new candidate. Consequently, while the Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders to serve as trustees, the Committee may only act upon such recommendations if there is a vacancy on the Board, or the Committee determines that the selection of a new or additional Trustee is in the best interests of the Fund.</FONT></P>
