in business and finance, including financial reporting, and experience as a board member of a highly regulated financial services company, facilitates the efficient development of meeting agendas that address the Fund&#146;s business, legal and
other needs and the orderly conduct of board meetings. The Chair develops agendas for Board meetings and presides at all meetings of the Board. The Chair also leads executive sessions of the Independent Directors, serves as a spokesperson for the
Independent Directors and serves as a liaison between the Independent Directors and the Fund&#146;s management between Board meetings. The Independent Directors regularly meet outside the presence of management and are advised by independent legal
counsel. The Board also has determined that its leadership structure, as described above, is appropriate in light of the size and complexity of the Fund, the number of Independent Directors (who constitute a super-majority of the Board&#146;s
membership) and the Board&#146;s general oversight responsibility. The Board also believes that its leadership structure not only facilitates the orderly and efficient flow of information to the Independent Directors from management, including
Western Asset, Western Asset Limited and Western Asset Singapore, the Fund&#146;s subadvisers, but also enhances the independent and orderly exercise of its responsibilities. </P>
