<P STYLE="font: 11pt/14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Past performance is no assurance of future results.
Investment return and market value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. There can be no assurance that the Fund&rsquo;s investment objectives will be achieved. The Fund may not be appropriate
for all investors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Principal Risk Factors: Securities held by a
fund, as well as shares of a fund itself, are subject to market fluctuations caused by factors such as general economic conditions, political
events, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of a fund could
decline in value or underperform other investments as a result of the risk of loss associated with these market fluctuations. In addition,
local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions,
or other events could have a significant negative impact on a fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions,
countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. The outbreak of the respiratory disease designated as COVID-19 in December
2019 has caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for investors. While the development
of vaccines has slowed the spread of the virus and allowed for the resumption of &quot;reasonably&quot; normal business activity in the
United States, many countries continue to impose lockdown measures in an attempt to slow the spread. Additionally, there is no guarantee
that vaccines will be effective against emerging variants of the disease.<BR>
<BR>
Shares of closed-end investment companies such as the Fund frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. The Fund cannot
predict whether its common shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.<BR>
<BR>
The Fund may write (sell) covered call options on all or a portion of the equity securities held in the Fund's portfolio. The use of options
may require the Fund to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or for prices other than current market values, may limit the amount
of appreciation the Fund can realize on an investment, or may cause the Fund to hold an equity security that it might otherwise sell.<BR>
<BR>
Premiums from writing (selling) call options and dividends and interest payments made by the securities in the Fund's portfolio can vary
widely over time.<BR>
<BR>
An adverse event affecting an issuer of equity securities, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of a particular
equity security held by the Fund. Also, the prices of equity securities are sensitive to general movements in the stock market and a drop
in the stock market may depress the prices of equity securities to which the Fund has exposure. There is no guarantee that the issuers
of the equity securities in which the Fund invests will declare dividends in the future or that if declared they will remain at current
levels. There can be no assurance as to what portion of the distributions paid to the Fund's Common Shareholders will consist of tax-advantaged
qualified dividend income.<BR>
<BR>
Investment in non-U.S. securities is subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and to economic and political risks associated with
such foreign countries.<BR>
<BR>
The Fund may not invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities of issuers in any single industry. If the Fund is focused in an
industry, it may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries of the economy.</P>
