        the Fund&#8217;s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each of the Trustees of the Fund has served in that capacity since the March 29, 1999 organizational meeting of the Fund, with the exception of
        Mr. Nakamura, who became a Trustee of the Fund on August 15, 2012, Mr. Melarkey, who became a Trustee of the Fund on August 16, 2016, Mr. Ferrantino, who became a Trustee of the Fund on February 22, 2017, and Mr. Birch and Dr. Bogan, who became

        members receive $1,000 per meeting attended, the Audit Committee Chairperson receives an annual fee of $3,000, and the Nominating Committee Chairperson and the Lead Independent Trustee each receive an annual fee of $2,000. A Trustee may receive a
        single meeting fee, allocated among the participating funds, for participation in certain meetings on behalf of multiple funds. The aggregate remuneration (excluding out of pocket expenses) paid by the Fund to such Trustees during the fiscal year
        ended December 31, 2019, amounted to $134,500. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the Trustees of the Fund met four times, all of which were regular quarterly Board meetings. Each Trustee then serving in such capacity attended at least
        75% of the Board meetings and of any committee of which he is a member.</p>
