with the Fund&#146;s Charter, the Fund&#146;s Board of Directors is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. At the Meeting, Stockholders will be asked to elect two Class I Directors, each to hold office until the 2018 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, or thereafter until their respective successors are elected and qualified. The terms of office of the Class&nbsp;II Directors expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2017 or thereafter until their respective
successors are duly elected and qualified. The terms of office of the Class&nbsp;III Directors expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2016 or thereafter until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. These staggered terms
have the effect of limiting the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund by delaying the replacement of a majority of the Board of Directors and could have the effect of depriving Stockholders of an opportunity to sell
their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain control of the Fund. </FONT></P>

defined in the 1940 Act (&#147;Independent Directors&#148;) consult with their own separate independent counsel. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">The Directors regularly review the Fund&#146;s financial statements, performance and market
price as well as the quality of the services being provided to the Fund. As part of this process, the Directors review the Fund&#146;s fees and expenses to determine if they are reasonable and competitive in light of the services being received,
while also ensuring that the Fund continues to have access to high quality services in the future. Based on these reviews, the Directors periodically make suggestions to the Fund&#146;s management and monitor to ensure that responsive action is
taken. The Directors also monitor potential conflicts of interest among the Fund, AAMAL and its affiliates and other funds and clients managed by AAMAL with the objective that the Fund will be managed in a manner that is in the best interest of the
Fund&#146;s Stockholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">The Board of Directors has four regularly scheduled meetings each year and additional meetings are
scheduled as needed. Furthermore, the Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee and a Nominating Committee, which meet periodically during the year and the responsibilities of which are described below, each composed entirely of Directors
who are not &#147;interested persons&#148; of the Fund, AAMAL or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and who are &#147;independent&#148; as defined in the NYSE listing standards (&#147;Independent Directors&#148;). </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">The Board of Directors is currently comprised of seven Directors, five of whom are &#147;independent&#148; as defined in the NYSE listing
standards. Mr.&nbsp;Salacuse serves as Chairman of the Board and is an Independent Director. The Independent Directors have separate legal counsel and regularly meet apart from management. In fulfilling their general oversight responsibility, the
Directors regularly receive reports from the Fund&#146;s investment manager, the Fund&#146;s Chief Compliance Officer (&#147;CCO&#148;), counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Directors. The Board&#146;s role in risk oversight of the
Fund reflects its responsibility under applicable state law to oversee generally, rather than to manage, the operations of the Fund. In line with this general oversight responsibility, the Board receives reports and makes regular inquiries at its
quarterly meetings and as needed regarding the nature and extent of significant Fund risks (including investment, compliance and valuation risks) that could potentially have a materially adverse impact on the business operations, investment
performance or reputation of the Fund, but relies upon the Fund&#146;s management (including its portfolio managers and CCO, who reports directly to the Board) and AAMAL to assist it in identifying and understanding the nature and extent of such
risks and determining that such risks are being effectively managed by the implementation of appropriate policies, procedures and controls. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">In addition to reports and other information received from Fund management and AAMAL regarding the Fund&#146;s investment program and activities, the Board as part of its risk oversight efforts meets at its
quarterly meetings and as needed with the Fund&#146;s CCO to discuss, among other things, any issues regarding the policies, procedures and controls of the Fund. The Board may be assisted in performing aspects of its role in risk oversight by the
Audit Committee and such other standing or special committees as may be established from time to time by the Board. Because the Chairman of the Board and the Chair of each of the Board&#146;s Audit and Nominating Committees is an Independent
Director, the manner in which the Board administers its risk oversight efforts is not expected to have any significant impact on the Board&#146;s leadership structure. Based on a review of the Board and its functions, the Board has determined that
the leadership structure of the Board of Directors, including its role in risk oversight, is appropriate given the characteristics and circumstances of the Fund. </FONT></P>

not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve the Fund&#146;s goals, and that the processes, procedures and controls employed
to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness. Moreover, despite the periodic reports the Board receives, it may not be made aware of all of the relevant information of a particular risk. Most of the Fund&#146;s investment
management and business affairs are carried out by or through the Fund&#146;s management and AAMAL and other service providers, each of which has an independent interest in risk management but whose policies and the methods by which one or more risk
management functions are carried out may differ from the Fund&#146;s and each other&#146;s in the setting of priorities, the resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the
Board&#146;s risk management oversight is subject to substantial limitations. </FONT></P>

that no member of the Committee may serve on the audit committees of more than three public companies, including the Fund, unless the Board of Directors determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to serve
on the Committee effectively. For purposes of this determination, service on multiple audit committees within the same fund complex is counted as service on a single audit committee. The Board of Directors has determined that the service by Mr. Gelb
on the audit committees of more than two other public companies does not impair his ability to serve effectively on the Fund&#146;s Audit Committee. The Fund&#146;s amended and restated Audit Committee Charter was attached as Appendix A to the Proxy

principles and policies, or internal controls and procedures, designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee&#146;s considerations and discussions referred to above do

accounting principles. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">Pursuant to the Fund&#146;s Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, the Audit Committee pre-approved all

has authorized the Chairman of the Audit Committee to pre-approve certain services to be performed by PwC, as necessary, between audit committee meetings which would then be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled

does not have a formal diversity policy but may also consider diversity of professional experience, education and skills when evaluating potential nominees. The Nominating Committee will accept nominations for the office of Director made by Fund
Stockholders. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Secretary of the Fund which include biographical information and set forth the qualifications of the proposed nominee. There are no differences in the manner
