consolidated strategy to reduce the Fund&#146;s stock price discount. Among other actions, the Board stated that if after the elimination of the Fund&#146;s in-kind repurchase offer program as a fundamental policy of the Fund (the
&#147;Policy&#148;) by a vote of the Fund&#146;s stockholders, the Fund were to trade at a volume-weighted average discount to net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) of greater than 10% during a 12-week measuring period, the Board would authorize an
in-kind tender offer to acquire up to 15% of the Fund&#146;s outstanding securities at a price of 98% of the Fund&#146;s NAV on the pricing date for the tender offer in exchange for a pro-rata &#147;slice&#148; of the Fund&#146;s Portfolio
Securities. At a special meeting of stockholders on June&nbsp;8, 2009, stockholders approved the elimination of the Policy. Since stockholders voted to eliminate the Policy, the first 12-week rolling measuring period commenced beginning with the
week of June&nbsp;8, 2009 and expired on August&nbsp;28, 2009. The Fund&#146;s shares traded at a volume-weighted average discount to NAV of 10.51% during this 12-week measuring period. Therefore, the Board has determined to effect this Offer under
Rule 13e-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund is making the Offer to provide stockholders
with an alternative source of liquidity for their investment in Fund shares and as part of the Fund&#146;s ongoing efforts to provide additional value to stockholders. Stockholders can continue to sell their shares for cash through their brokers in

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On May&nbsp;15, 2009, the Fund announced that the Board of Directors (&#147;Board&#148;) adopted a statement setting forth a consolidated strategy to
reduce the Fund&#146;s stock price discount. Among other actions, the Board stated that if after the elimination of the Fund&#146;s in-kind repurchase offer program as a fundamental policy of the Fund (the &#147;Policy&#148;) by a vote of the
Fund&#146;s stockholders, the Fund were to trade at a volume-weighted average discount to net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) of greater than 10% during a 12-week measuring period, the Board would authorize an in-kind tender offer to acquire up to 15%
of the Fund&#146;s outstanding securities at a price of 98% of the Fund&#146;s NAV on the pricing date for the tender offer in exchange for a pro-rata &#147;slice&#148; of the Fund&#146;s Portfolio Securities. At a special meeting of stockholders on
June&nbsp;8, 2009, stockholders approved the elimination of the Policy. Since stockholders voted to eliminate the Policy, the first 12-week rolling measuring period commenced beginning with the week of June&nbsp;8, 2009 and expired on
August&nbsp;28, 2009. The Fund&#146;s shares traded at a volume-weighted average discount to NAV of 10.51% during this 12-week measuring period. Therefore, the Board has determined to effect this Offer under Rule 13e-4 of the Securities Exchange Act

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In determining whether or not to participate, you should keep in mind that you can always sell your Fund shares in cash transactions on the New York
Stock Exchange. Depending on the costs involved in participating in the Offer and whether or not you desire to receive Portfolio Securities, it may be easier and less costly for you to sell your shares, if you so desire, on the New York Stock
Exchange than to participate in the Offer. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Before making a decision, you should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of receiving the
proceeds of the Offer in the form of Portfolio Securities and the consequences of holding the Portfolio Securities or deciding to sell them after you receive them. To participate you will need to establish the Mexican Account (unless you already
have such an account) which is likely to be subject to different procedures and costs than are typically associated with a U.S. brokerage account. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">You also would be investing directly in Mexican securities rather than holding them indirectly through a U.S. mutual fund structure which may aggravate the risks typically associated with a foreign investment. These risks include:
(1)&nbsp;lesser liquidity and smaller market capitalization of the Mexican securities markets; (2)&nbsp;currency fluctuations; (3)&nbsp;higher rates of inflation and domestic interest rates; and (4)&nbsp;less stringent disclosure requirements, less
available information regarding Mexican public companies and less active regulatory oversight of Mexican public companies. <B>The Fund&#146;s web site, http://www.themexicofund.com, maintains links to web sites maintained by some of the issuers of
its Portfolio Securities, under the &#147;Links&#148; portion of its web site. Most of the available web sites, which contain publicly available information about the particular issuer, are written in Spanish. The Fund is not providing you with any
information regarding the Portfolio Securities, but encourages you to make your own investigation and consult with your financial adviser if you are contemplating participation in the Offer. The Fund makes no representation with respect to, and does
not warrant in any manner, the accuracy and completeness of information regarding the Portfolio Securities or their issuers, including information found on the linked web sites. </B>The Portfolio Securities may increase or decrease in value between
the Expiration Date and your actual receipt of the Portfolio Securities in the Mexican Account as well as during the period you hold the Portfolio Securities. In addition, Mexican public companies are subject to less stringent disclosure standards
and regulatory oversight than U.S. companies. Information available regarding the companies representing the Portfolio Securities is likely to be in Spanish, less extensive than that of U.S. public companies, and may not be accurate or current.
Stockholders who retain the Portfolio Securities for investment purposes will need to conduct their own continuing investment research regarding the Mexican companies comprising the Portfolio Securities and/or seek assistance from their financial
advisers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Since August 2007, the Mexican equity market, along with equity and debt markets worldwide, has experienced increased volatility
following the sub-prime mortgage financial losses in the United States. During 2008 and the first half of 2009, U.S. and worldwide economies, including the Mexican economy, continued to decline, as many large banks and other financial institutions
reported write-downs in the fair value of their assets, engaged in distressed mergers and acquisitions, or declared bankruptcy. These and other events have led to rising unemployment, deteriorating consumer confidence and a general reduction in
spending by both consumers and businesses globally. As a result, the performance of the Mexican financial markets, while strong in recent years, remains uncertain in the near term. Political or economic unrest in Mexico, should it occur, may also
have an adverse impact on the market price and net asset value of the Fund&#146;s shares. As with any foreign investment, there also exists the risk of expropriation and restrictions on foreign investment. </FONT></P> <P

the Offer. Because of the size of the Fund and the characteristics of the Mexican securities market, if stockholders participate in the Offer and choose to liquidate the Portfolio Securities shortly after they receive them, there could be an adverse

Securities distributed as proceeds for participation in the Offer will be valued on the Expiration Date in the same manner as they would be valued for the purposes of computing the Fund&#146;s net asset value. In the case of Portfolio Securities
traded on a public securities market for which quotations are available, this means their last reported sales price on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded (with respect to Portfolio Securities traded on the Mexican Stock
Exchange, the last reported closing price), or, if the securities are not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or if there is no such reported price, the average of the most recent bid and asked price (or, if no such asked price
is available, the last quoted bid prices). The Portfolio Securities distributed to stockholders pursuant to the Offer will be limited to securities that are traded on a public securities market or for which quoted bid and asked prices are available.
Other than the identification of the Portfolio Securities on the Expiration Date, the Fund will not be providing stockholders any further information about the Portfolio Securities. The Fund does maintain, on the &#147;Links&#148; portion of its web

Fund announced that the Board adopted a statement setting forth a consolidated strategy to reduce the Fund&#146;s stock price discount. Among other actions, the Board stated that if after the elimination of the Fund&#146;s in-kind repurchase offer
program as a fundamental policy of the Fund (the &#147;Policy&#148;) by a vote of the Fund&#146;s stockholders, the Fund were to trade at a volume-weighted average discount to NAV of greater than 10% during a 12-week measuring period, the Board
would authorize an in-kind tender offer to acquire 15% of the Fund&#146;s outstanding securities at a price of 98% of the Fund&#146;s NAV on the pricing date for the tender offer in exchange for a pro-rata &#147;slice&#148; of the Fund&#146;s
Portfolio Securities. At a special meeting of stockholders on June&nbsp;8, 2009, stockholders approved the elimination of the Policy. Since stockholders voted to eliminate the Policy, the first 12-week rolling measuring period commenced beginning
with the week of June&nbsp;8, 2009 and expired on August&nbsp;28, 2009. The Fund&#146;s shares traded at a volume-weighted average discount to NAV of 10.51% during this 12-week measuring period. Therefore, the Board has determined to effect this

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Without consideration of any potential tax consequences to a stockholder of participation in the Offer, the actual per share expense to a stockholder of participation depends on a number of factors, including the
number of shares tendered, the varying expenses associated with establishing the Mexican Account and/or enlisting the assistance of a U.S. bank or broker which may charge clients a fee for submitting the documentation necessary for participation.

stringent disclosure standards and regulatory oversight than U.S. companies. There also may be additional future expenses participating stockholders incur in retaining the Portfolio Securities. If participating stockholders receive Portfolio

Mexican Stock Exchange as of August 28, 2009 amounted to approximately $345 billion U.S. Dollars, and the dollar value of daily trading activity averaged $385 million U.S. Dollars from <B></B>August 2008 to August 2009. In addition, trading on the
Mexican Stock Exchange is concentrated. Approximately 80% of the total traded volume of the Mexican Stock Exchange during <B></B>July 2009 was produced by 13 issuers. Finally, prices of equity securities traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange are
generally more volatile than prices of equity securities traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The combination of price volatility and the relatively limited liquidity of the Mexican Stock Exchange may have an adverse impact on the investment
performance of the Portfolio Securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There is a risk that the Fund&#146;s investments and the Portfolio Securities may experience a
decrease in value following the Offer depending on stockholder participation in the Offer and whether participating stockholders choose to dispose of the Portfolio Securities shortly after the Offer. Because of the size of the Fund and the
characteristics of the Mexican securities market, if stockholders participate in the Offer and choose to liquidate the Portfolio Securities shortly after they receive them, there could be an adverse impact on the Mexican securities market and the
market prices of the Portfolio Securities and the Fund&#146;s other investments, which risk affects both participating and non-participating stockholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Current Market Conditions; Mexican Economic and Political Factors.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since August 2007, the Mexican equity market, along with equity and debt markets worldwide, has experienced increased
volatility following the sub-prime mortgage financial losses in the United States. During 2008 and the first half of 2009, U.S. and worldwide economies, including the Mexican economy, continued to decline, as many large banks and other financial
institutions reported write-downs in the fair value of their assets, engaged in distressed mergers and acquisitions, or declared bankruptcy. These and other events have led to rising unemployment, deteriorating consumer confidence and a general
reduction in spending by both consumers and businesses globally. As a result, the performance of the Mexican financial markets, while strong in recent years, remains uncertain in the near term. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Political, social or economic unrest in Mexico, should it occur, may have an adverse impact on the market price and net asset value of the Fund&#146;s
shares. As with any foreign investment, there also exists the risk of expropriation and restrictions on foreign investment. Although Mexico&#146;s economy has strengthened in recent years and Mexico&#146;s sovereign debt has received an
&#147;investment-grade&#148; rating by the three most prominent rating agencies, including Standard and Poor&#146;s Rating Group, Mexico continues to be characterized as a developing economy, and investments in developing countries are subject to
certain economic risks. Mexico has in the past experienced widespread bank failures, currency devaluations, and high levels of inflation and interest rates. Mexico is also dependent on certain industries and exports for the health of its economy.
The Portfolio Securities are denominated in Mexican pesos. As a result, the Portfolio Securities must increase in market value at a rate in excess of the rate of any decline in the value of the peso against the U.S. dollar in order to avoid a
decline in their equivalent U.S. dollar value. From August 2008 to August 2009, the value of the peso has declined 23.03% against the U.S. dollar. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><I>Mexican Securities Laws and Accounting Rules.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There is less publicly available information about the issuers of Mexican securities such as the Portfolio Securities than is regularly published by issuers in the
United States. Information provided by Mexican public companies may not be current, accurate or easily obtainable and, to the extent available, is likely to be in Spanish. Also, there is generally less governmental supervision and regulation of
exchanges, brokers and issuers in Mexico than there is in the United States. U.S. holders of Portfolio Securities may also experience difficulties enforcing U.S. laws or obtaining service of process against the issuers of the Portfolio Securities.

that date. If the distribution corresponding to long-term capital gains in fiscal 2007 were taken in stock, which was issued at $38.95 per share, the total return would have been 37.16%. If the distribution corresponding to long-term capital gains

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation and is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund
shares were first issued to the public in June 1981. As a closed-end investment company, the Fund differs from an open-end investment company (<I>i.e.</I>, a mutual fund) in that it does not redeem its Fund shares at the election of a stockholder
and does not continuously offer its Fund shares for sale to the public. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund&#146;s investment objective is long-term capital
appreciation through investment in securities, primarily equity, listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund may invest at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities listed on the Mexican Stock
Exchange, but may reduce its holdings in equity securities listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange below 80% of its total assets for temporary defensive purposes when unusual market or economic conditions occur. There is no assurance that the Fund will
achieve its investment objective. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The principal executive offices of the Fund are located at 1775 I Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006.

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund is subject to the information and reporting requirements of the 1940 Act and in accordance therewith is obligated to file reports and other
information with the Commission relating to its business, financial condition and other matters. The Fund has also filed an Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the Commission. Such reports and other information are available for
inspection at the public reference room at the Commission&#146;s office, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies may be obtained, by mail, upon payment of the Commission&#146;s customary charges, by writing to its principal office at 100
F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Such reports and other information are also available, free of charge, on the Commission&#146;s web site (http://www.sec.gov). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

SIZE="2">The following discussion is a general summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Offer. The discussion is for general information purposes only and does not purport to consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation
that might be relevant to stockholders. The discussion is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (<B>&#147;Code&#148;</B>), existing regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial
interpretations thereof, all of which are subject to change, which change could be retroactive. The discussion applies only to stockholders in whose possession shares are capital assets within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code, and may

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>NON-U.S. STOCKHOLDERS.</B>&nbsp;In general, a &#147;Non-U.S. Stockholder&#148; is any person other
than (1)&nbsp;a citizen or resident of the United States, (2)&nbsp;a corporation or partnership created or organized in the United States under the laws of the United States or any state, (3)&nbsp;an estate or trust that is subject or potentially
subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income on a net basis, or (4)&nbsp;a trust, the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the substantial decisions of which may be made by U.S. persons.
U.S. taxation of a &#147;Non-U.S. Stockholder&#148; depends on whether the income from the Fund is &#147;effectively connected&#148; with a U.S. trade or business carried on by the Non-U.S. Stockholder. Ordinarily, income from the Fund will not be
treated as &#147;effectively connected&#148; and, if that is the case, any gain realized upon the purchase of shares pursuant to the terms of the Offer will not ordinarily be subject to U.S. taxation. If, however, the Non-U.S. Stockholder is treated
as a non-resident alien individual but is physically present in the United States for more than 182 days during the taxable year, then, in certain circumstances, gain from the tender of shares pursuant to the terms of the Offer and gain from a
liquidation of Portfolio Securities will be subject to U.S. tax of 30% (or lower treaty rate). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If the income from the Fund is
&#147;effectively connected&#148; with a U.S. trade or business carried on by a Non-U.S. Stockholder, then any gain (or dividend income) realized upon the sale of shares of the Fund pursuant to the terms of the Offer will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax at the graduated rates applicable to U.S. taxpayers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Non-U.S. Stockholders will be subject to dividend tax withholding at a 30%
rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate on the gross proceeds of the tender received by such stockholder, if the proceeds are treated as a &#147;dividend&#148; under the rules described above. Since the tax status of the Offer as a dividend is
not certain to the Fund at the time of payment, the Fund intends to withhold a portion of the proceeds as if the proceeds constitute a dividend. In that case, the stockholder offering shares for tender may be eligible to claim a refund of the
withheld tax by filing a U.S. tax return if the stockholder can demonstrate that the proceeds were not dividends. Non-U.S. Stockholders should consult their tax advisers regarding application of these withholding rules. </FONT></P> <P

Stockholder generally must deliver to the Depository a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN. The Depositary will determine a Stockholder&#146;s status as a non-U.S. Stockholder and eligibility for a reduced rate of, or exemption from,
withholding by reference to any outstanding certificates or statements concerning eligibility for a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding (<I>e.g.</I>, IRS Forms W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI) unless facts and circumstances indicate that such
reliance is not warranted. The Fund will generally withhold 30% of the proceeds otherwise payable to a non-U.S. Stockholder. A non-U.S. Stockholder may be eligible to obtain a refund from the Internal Revenue Service of all or a portion of any tax
withheld if such Stockholder satisfies certain requirements or is otherwise able to establish that no tax or a reduced amount of tax is due. Non-U.S. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the application of federal
income tax withholding, including eligibility for a withholding tax reduction or exemption, and the refund procedure. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

SIZE="2">Under the U.S. federal income tax laws, the Depositary may be required to withhold 28% of the amount of any payment made to certain holders pursuant to the Offer. In order to participate in the Offer and avoid such backup withholding, each
tendering U.S. Stockholder must provide the Depositary with such Stockholder&#146;s correct TIN by completing the Substitute Form W-9 set forth below. In general, if a Stockholder is an individual, the TIN is the Social Security number of such
individual. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, the Stockholder may be subject to a penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Certain Stockholders (including, among others, most corporations and certain foreign persons)
are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements, but should nonetheless complete a Substitute Form W-9 to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding by checking the box marked &#147;EXEMPT FROM BACKUP WITHHOLDING&#148; on the
Substitute Form W-9. For further information regarding backup withholding and instructions for completing the Substitute Form W-9 (including how to obtain a TIN if you do not have one and how to complete the Substitute Form W-9 if Shares are held in
more than one name), consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number. <B>Failure to submit information necessary to avoid the 28% backup withholding will be considered a defective tender and the Fund will be

the Stockholder must submit a statement to the Depositary signed under penalties of perjury attesting that he/she/it is a non-U.S. Stockholder. To qualify as an exempt recipient on the basis of foreign status, a Stockholder must submit a properly
completed Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that person&#146;s exempt status. A Stockholder would use a Form W-8 BEN to certify that it (1)&nbsp;is neither a citizen nor a resident of the United States,
(2)&nbsp;has not been and reasonably does not expect to be present in the United States for a period aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year, and (3)&nbsp;reasonably expects not to be engaged in a trade or business within the United

the Offer Notice dated September&nbsp;3, 2009 of The Mexico Fund, Inc. (&#147;Fund&#148;), a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company, and the
related Letter of Transmittal by which the Fund is offering to its Stockholders the right to demand the purchase of their shares in an amount up to fifteen percent (15%)&nbsp;of the Fund&#146;s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $1.00
per share (&#147;Shares&#148;) in exchange for a <I>pro-rata</I> portion of each of the securities (other than short-term fixed income securities with maturities of less than one year, securities with transfer restrictions and certain illiquid
securities), subject to adjustment for fractional shares and odd lots (&#147;Portfolio Securities&#148;), and cash held in the Fund&#146;s investment portfolio, at a price equal 98.00% of the Shares&#146; net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) as of the
close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (&#147;NYSE&#148;) on the Expiration Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice dated September&nbsp;3, 2009 and the related Letter of Transmittal
(which together constitute the &#147;Offer Documents&#148;) (&#147;Offer&#148;). THE OFFER EXPIRES AT 11:59 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON OCTOBER 5, 2009, UNLESS EXTENDED (&#147;EXPIRATION DATE&#148;). </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On May&nbsp;15, 2009, the Fund announced that the Board adopted a statement setting forth a consolidated strategy to reduce the Fund&#146;s stock price
discount. Among other actions, the Board stated that if after the elimination of the Fund&#146;s in-kind repurchase offer program as a fundamental policy of the Fund (the &#147;Policy&#148;) by a vote of the Fund&#146;s stockholders, the Fund were
to trade at a volume-weighted average discount to NAV of greater than 10% during a 12-week measuring period, the Board would authorize an in-kind tender offer to acquire 15% of the Fund&#146;s outstanding securities at a price of 98% of the
Fund&#146;s NAV on the pricing date for the tender offer in exchange for a pro-rata &#147;slice&#148; of the Fund&#146;s Portfolio Securities. At a special meeting of stockholders on June&nbsp;8, 2009, stockholders approved the elimination of the
Policy. Since stockholders voted to eliminate the Policy, the first 12-week rolling measuring period commenced beginning with the week of June&nbsp;8, 2009 and expired on August&nbsp;28, 2009. The Fund&#146;s shares traded at a volume-weighted
average discount to NAV of 10.51% during this 12-week measuring period. Therefore, the Board has determined to effect this Offer under Rule 13e-4 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The purpose of the Offer is to provide Stockholders a source of liquidity that may allow them to realize the NAV of their Shares. The proceeds of this
Offer will be paid in a <I>pro-rata</I> portion of the Fund&#146;s Portfolio Securities. The Offer also prevents Stockholders who choose not to participate from bearing any portion of the unrealized capital gains which would be realized if the Fund
sold its Portfolio Securities in order to satisfy tenders in cash. If the number of shares tendered for purchase exceeds the number of Shares which the Fund is offering to purchase, the Fund will purchase tendered shares on a <I>pro-rata </I>basis.
