      Shares voted by broker dealer firms in favor of the proposal. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner&#8217;s Shares should be voted on the proposal may be deemed
      an instruction to vote such Shares in favor of the proposal. Broker-dealers who are not members of the NYSE may be subject to other rules, which may or may not permit them to vote your Shares without instruction. We urge you to provide instructions
      to your broker or nominee so that your votes may be counted.</div>

    <div style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">THE PROPOSAL: TO ELECT TRUSTEES</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Fund&#8217;s Agreement and Declaration of Trust and the rules of the NYSE require the Fund to hold an annual meeting of shareholders to elect Trustees each fiscal year. Shareholders are being asked to elect the
      following Trustee nominees named in this Proxy Statement: Mr. Daniel L. Black and Mr. Michael A. Smart, as Class II Trustees, to serve until the Fund&#8217;s 2023 annual meeting of shareholders or until their respective successors shall have been elected
      and qualified.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">Composition of the Board of Trustees</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Trustees are classified into three classes of Trustees. Set forth below are the current Class I Trustees, Class II Trustees and Class III Trustees:</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-left: 10pt;"><font style="font-style: italic;">CLASS I TRUSTEES. </font>Mr. Randall C. Barnes, Mr. Derek Medina and Mr. Gerald L. Seizert are the Class I Trustees of the Fund. The term of the Class I Trustees
      will continue until the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders or until successors shall have been elected and qualified.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-left: 10pt;"><font style="font-style: italic;">CLASS II TRUSTEES. </font>Mr. Daniel L. Black and Mr. Michael A. Smart are the Class II Trustees of the Fund. Mr. Daniel L. Black and Mr. Michael A. Smart are
      standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-left: 10pt;"><font style="font-style: italic;">CLASS III TRUSTEES. </font>Mr. Tracy V. Maitland and Mr. Ronald A. Nyberg are the Class III Trustees of the Fund. The term of the Class III Trustees will continue
      until the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders or until successors shall have been elected and qualified.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Each Trustee nominee, if elected at the Annual Meeting, will hold office for three years or until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until he resigns or is otherwise removed. The other Trustees
      will continue to serve under their current terms and will stand for re-election at subsequent annual meetings of shareholders as indicated above.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Unless authority is withheld or other instructions are provided, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy card to vote &#8220;FOR&#8221; the election of the Trustee nominees named above. Mr. Black and Mr. Smart
      have consented to serve as a Trustee for which they are standing for re-election if elected at the Annual Meeting. If a designated Trustee nominee declines or otherwise becomes unavailable for election, however, the proxy confers discretionary power
      on the persons named therein to vote in favor of a substitute Trustee nominee or nominees.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Certain information concerning the current Trustees, the Trustee nominees and the officers of the Fund is set forth in the table below. The sole &#8220;interested&#8221; Trustee (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the
      Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#8220;1940 Act&#8221;)) is identified in the table below. The &#8220;Independent Trustees&#8221; are those who are not interested persons of the Fund or Advent Capital</div>

    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">Board Leadership Structure</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The primary responsibility of the Board is to represent the interests of the shareholders and to provide oversight of the management of the Fund. The Fund&#8217;s day-to-day operations are managed by the Fund&#8217;s
      investment advisor and other service providers who have been approved by the Board. The Board is currently composed of seven Trustees, six of whom are Independent Trustees and one of whom is classified as an Interested Trustee. The Independent
      Trustees are represented by independent legal counsel at Board and committee meetings. Generally, the Board acts by majority vote of all the Trustees, including a majority vote of the Independent Trustees if required by applicable law.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Board has appointed an Interested Trustee as chairperson and the Independent Trustees of the Board have designated Mr. Daniel L. Black as lead Independent Trustee who chairs meetings or executive sessions of
      the Independent Trustees, reviews and comments on Board meeting agendas, represents the views of the Independent Trustees to management and facilitates communication among the Independent Trustees and their counsel.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Board has established two standing committees (as described below) and has delegated certain responsibilities to those committees, each of which is composed solely of Independent Trustees. The Board and its
      committees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund&#8217;s activities, review contractual arrangements with service providers, review the Fund&#8217;s financial statements, oversee compliance with regulatory requirements, and review
      performance. The Board has determined that this leadership structure, including an Interested Trustee as chairperson, a lead Independent Trustee, a supermajority of Independent Trustees on the Board, committee membership limited to Independent
      Trustees, and the participation and advice of independent legal counsel, is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over the matters under its purview and it allocates areas of responsibility among
      committees of Trustees and the full Board in a manner that enhances effective oversight.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">Board&#8217;s Role in Risk Oversight</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The day-to-day management of various risks relating to the administration and operation of the Fund is the responsibility of the Fund&#8217;s investment advisor and other service providers retained by the Board or by
      management, most of whom employ professional personnel who have risk management responsibilities. The Board oversees this risk management function consistent with and as part of its oversight duties. The Board performs this risk management oversight
      function directly and, with respect to various matters, through an Audit Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee established by the Board. Each committee reports its activities to the Board on a regular basis. The following description
      provides an overview of many, but not all, aspects of the Board&#8217;s oversight of risk</div>

    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">management for the Fund. In this connection, the Board has been advised that it is not practicable to identify all of the risks that may impact the Fund or to develop procedures or controls that are designed to
      eliminate all such risk exposures, and that applicable securities law regulations do not contemplate that all such risks be identified and addressed.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Board, working with personnel of the Fund&#8217;s investment advisor and other service providers, has endeavored to identify the primary risks that confront the Fund. In general, these risks include, among others,
      investment risks, credit risks, liquidity risks, valuation risks, operational risks, reputational risks, regulatory risks, risks related to potential legislative changes and the risk of conflicts of interest affecting affiliates of Advent and
      Guggenheim Funds in managing the Fund. The Board has adopted and periodically reviews various policies and procedures that are designed to address these and other risks confronting the Fund. In addition, the officers of the Fund, the Fund&#8217;s
      investment advisor and other service providers to the Fund have also implemented a variety of processes, procedures and controls designed to address particular risks to the Fund. The Board and persons retained to render advice and service to the
      Board periodically review and/or monitor changes to and developments relating to the effectiveness of these policies and procedures.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Board requires officers of the Fund to report to the full Board on a variety of matters at regular and special meetings of the Board and its committees, as applicable, including matters relating to risk
      management. The Audit Committee also receives reports from the Fund&#8217;s independent registered public accounting firm on internal control and financial reporting matters. On at least a quarterly basis, the Board meets with the Fund&#8217;s Chief Compliance
      Officer, including separate meetings with the Independent Trustees in executive session periodically, to discuss compliance matters and, on a quarterly basis, receives a report from the Chief Compliance Officer regarding compliance matters. The
      Board, with the assistance of the Fund&#8217;s management, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of the Fund&#8217;s performance. In addition, the Board receives reports from the Fund&#8217;s investment advisor on the investments and
      securities trading of the Fund. With respect to valuation, the Board has approved fair valuation procedures applicable to valuing the Fund&#8217;s securities, which the Board and the Audit Committee periodically review. The Board also requires the Fund&#8217;s
      investment advisor to report to the Board on other matters relating to risk management on a regular and as-needed basis.</div>

      LLC, 888 Seventh Avenue, 31st Floor, New York, New York 10019.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a Trustee are that a candidate demonstrate, by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a
      meaningful contribution to the Board&#8217;s oversight of the business and affairs of the Fund and have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical conduct in both his or her professional and personal activities. In addition, the Nominating
      and Governance Committee examines a candidate&#8217;s specific experiences and skills, time availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of interest and independence from management and the Fund. The Nominating and Governance Committee
      has a policy to consider diversity of backgrounds and experience when identifying Trustee nominee candidates. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes the Board generally benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its
      members, and considers how a particular candidate could be expected to contribute to such overall diversity and thereby enhance the effectiveness of the Board.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Nominating and Governance Committee is governed by a written Nominating and Governance Committee charter, the most recent version of which was approved by the Board on December 6, 2018. The Nominating and
      Governance Committee charter is not available on the Fund&#8217;s website. In accordance with proxy rules promulgated by the SEC, a fund&#8217;s nominating committee charter is required to be filed at least once every three years as an exhibit to a fund&#8217;s proxy
      statement. The Nominating and Governance Committee Charter was attached as Appendix A to the Fund&#8217;s 2019 proxy statement.</div>

    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The holders of a majority of the Shares entitled to vote on any matter at a meeting present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at such meeting of the shareholders for purposes of conducting business on

    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Board has fixed the close of business on August 18, 2020, as the Record Date for the determination of shareholders of the Fund entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Shareholders as of the
      close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on for each Share held and a fractional vote with respect to fractional Shares with no cumulative voting rights.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to complete, sign, date, and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided or vote via telephone or the Internet so your
      Shares will be represented at the Annual Meeting. Instructions regarding how to vote via telephone or the Internet are included on the enclosed proxy card. The required control number for Internet and telephone voting is printed on the enclosed proxy
      card. The control number is used to match proxy cards with shareholders&#8217; respective accounts and to ensure that, if multiple proxy cards are executed, Shares are voted in accordance with the proxy card bearing the latest date.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Due to the public health impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), and to support the health and well-being of Fund shareholders, the Annual Meeting will be held solely on the internet by virtual means.
      Shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;In order to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting, shareholders of record on the Record Date need to register for the Annual Meeting at https://viewproxy.com/avk/broadridgevsm/. If you hold your Shares
      beneficially through a bank or broker, and wish to vote at the Meeting, you must first obtain a legal proxy from your bank or broker prior to registering for the Annual Meeting. The control number found on your proxy card is required to register. All
      shareholders are encouraged to submit their proxy voting instructions prior to the shareholder meeting.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;All Shares represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as provided therein. <font style="font-weight: bold;">If you sign the proxy card, but don&#8217;t fill in a vote, your Shares will be voted in accordance with the Board&#8217;s recommendation. </font>If any other business is brought before the Annual Meeting, your Shares will be voted
      at the proxies&#8217; discretion.</div>

      Annual Meeting. The Fund understands that, under the rules of the NYSE, such broker-dealer firms may for certain &#8220;routine&#8221; matters, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated by the
      Board to vote if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm&#8217;s request for voting instructions. The proposal is a &#8220;routine&#8221; matter and beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not
      return a proxy card may have their Shares voted by broker dealer firms in favor of the proposal. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner&#8217;s Shares should be
      voted on the proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such Shares in favor of the proposal. Broker-dealers who are not members of the NYSE may be subject to other rules, which may or may not permit them to vote your Shares without instruction.
      We urge you to provide instructions to your broker or nominee so that your votes may be counted.</div>

    <div style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">AS ADOPTED BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">Statement of Principles</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">The Audit Committee (the &#8220;<u>Audit Committee</u>&#8221;) of the Board of Trustees (the &#8220;<u>Board</u>&#8221;) of Advent Claymore Convertible Securities and Income Fund (the &#8220;<u>Trust</u>&#8221;) is required to pre-approve all Covered
      Services (as defined in the Audit Committee Charter) in order to assure that the provision of the Covered Services does not impair the auditors&#8217; independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the Independent Auditor (as defined in the Audit
      Committee Charter) is pre-approved in accordance with the terms of this Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy (the &#8220;<u>Policy</u>&#8221;), it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee or by any member of the Audit Committee to which
      pre-approval authority has been delegated.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">This Policy and the appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and All Other services that are Covered Services and that have been pre-approved under this Policy. The appendices hereto sometimes
      are referred to herein as the &#8220;<u>Service Pre-Approval Documents</u>&#8221;. The term of any such pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. At its June meeting of each
      calendar year, the Audit Committee will review and re-approve this Policy and approve or re-approve the Service Pre-Approval Documents for that year, together with any changes deemed necessary or desirable by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee
      may, from time to time, modify the nature of the services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees pre-approved or both. The Audit Committee hereby directs that each version of this Policy and the Service Pre-Approval Documents approved, re-approved
      or amended from time to time be maintained with the books and records of the Trust.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">Delegation</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">In the intervals between the scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee delegates pre-approval authority under this Policy to the Chairman of the Audit Committee (the &#8220;<u>Chairman</u>&#8221;). The Chairman
      shall report any pre-approval decisions under this Policy to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. At each scheduled meeting, the Audit Committee will review with the Independent Auditor the Covered Services pre-approved by the Chairman
      pursuant to delegated authority, if any, and the fees related thereto. Based on these reviews, the Audit Committee can modify, at its discretion, the pre-approval originally granted by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority. This modification
      can be to the nature of services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees approved, or both. The Audit Committee expects pre-approval of Covered Services by the Chairman pursuant to this delegated authority to be the exception rather than the rule
      and may modify or withdraw this delegated authority at any time the Audit Committee determines that it is appropriate to do so.</div>

    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">Pre-Approved Fee Levels</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">Fee levels for all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditor and pre-approved under this Policy will be established annually by the Audit Committee and set forth in the Service Pre-Approval Documents.
      Any increase in pre-approved fee levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">Audit Services</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">The terms and fees of the annual Audit services engagement for the Trust are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions
      or fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Trust structure or other matters.</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, any other Audit services for the Trust not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be
      specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">Audit-Related Services</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">Audit-Related services are assurance and related services that are not required for the audit, but are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements of the Trust and, to the
      extent they are Covered Services, the other Covered Entities (as defined in the Audit Committee Charter) or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditor. Audit-Related services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the
      Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">Tax Services</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditor can provide Tax services to the Covered Entities such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor&#8217;s independence. However, the
      Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the Independent Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Independent Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not
      be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. Tax services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or
      the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-weight: bold;">All Other Services</div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">All Other services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to
      delegated authority).</div>

      may be, by both the Independent Auditor and the Chief Financial Officer of the respective Covered Entity, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, (a) the request or application is consistent with the SEC&#8217;s rules on auditor
      independence and (b) the requested service is or is not a non-audit service prohibited by the SEC. A request or application submitted to the Chairman between scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee should include a discussion as to why approval is
