<p><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">If an enclosed Proxy is properly executed and returned in time to be voted at the Meeting to which it relates, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked on the Proxy. If no instructions are marked on the Proxy, the Proxy will be voted "FOR" the election of each Fund's nominee(s) for Director, and, in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the Proxy on any matters that may properly come before the Meetings and that are deemed appropriate. Any shareholder giving a Proxy has the power to revoke it by mail (addressed to the Secretary of the relevant Fund, c/o Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10010) or in person at the Meeting by executing a superseding Proxy or by submitting a notice of revocation.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">A quorum of shareholders is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund entitled to vote at a Meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at a Meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy will have the power to adjourn such Meeting, without notice other than an announcement at such Meeting, until the requisite number of shares entitled to vote at such Meeting is present. In the event that a quorum is present at a Meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposals are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of that Meeting to permit further solicitation of Proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of a Fund's shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy, and the persons named as proxies will vote those Proxies that they are entitled to v
ote "FOR" any proposal in favor of such adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted "AGAINST" any proposal against any such adjournment. Absent the establishment of a subsequent record date and the giving of notice to the holders of record thereon, the adjourned Meeting must take place not more than 120 days after the record date. At such adjourned Meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original Meeting. If a quorum is present, a shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals properly brought before the meeting prior to any adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at a Meeting, abstentions and broker "non-votes" (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present but which have not been voted. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to forward their voting instructions promptly.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">The election of a Director at each Meeting will require that the successful candidate(s) receive a plurality of the votes cast at a Meeting in person or by proxy. Because abstentions and broker non-votes are not treated as shares voted, any abstentions and broker non-votes would have no impact on the elections.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">Credit Suisse and its affiliates have advised the Funds that they intend to vote the shares over which they have voting power at the Meetings, including shares that are held directly or on behalf of employees, in the manner instructed by the customers or employees for which such shares are held.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">Each Fund has one class of shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"). Each Share of a Fund is entitled to one vote at that Fund's Meeting, and fractional Shares are entitled to a proportionate share of one vote. On the record date, February 25, 2008, the following number of Shares of each Fund were issued and outstanding:</font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">This Joint Proxy Statement is being used in order to reduce the preparation, printing, handling and postage expenses that would result from the use of a separate proxy statement for each Fund and, because shareholders may own Shares of more than one Fund, to avoid burdening shareholders with more than one proxy statement.

If information relating to common ownership is not available to the Funds, a shareholder who beneficially owns Shares in more than one Fund may receive more than one package, each containing this Joint Proxy Statement and a Proxy for a single Fund.

Each Fund's Audit Committee charter also contains provisions relating to the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of certain non-audit services to be provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") to that Fund and to Credit Suisse and certain of its affiliates.

<p><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">Each Audit Committee has met with the applicable Fund's management to discuss, among other things, that Fund's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Each Audit Committee has also met with the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm, PwC, and discussed with it certain matters required by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, COMMUNICATIONS WITH AUDIT COMMITTEES, as currently modified or supplemented, including, but not limited to, the scope of that Fund's audit, that Fund's financial statements and that Fund's accounting controls. Each Audit Committee has received from PwC the letter required by the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") independence rules describing any relationships between it and the applicable Fund, Credit Suisse and its affiliates that may be thought to bear upon the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. Each Audit Committee has dis
cussed with PwC its independence and has considered whether the provision of services by PwC to that Fund, to Credit Suisse and its affiliates was compatible with maintaining PwC's independence.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">The members of the Audit Committees are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not employed by a Fund for accounting, financial management or internal control. Moreover, each Audit Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by management or the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, an Audit Committee's oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls and procedures, designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committees' considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that the audit of a Fund's financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan
dards or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">Based upon these reviews and discussions, each Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the applicable Fund's audited financial statements be included in that Fund's 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and be mailed to shareholders and filed with the SEC.</font></p>
