The tax impact of the tender offer will depend on the Combined Fund&#146;s basis in the securities sold, offset by capital loss carry forwards, if any. The Combined Fund anticipates selling a significant portion of its portfolio in advance of the tender offer and purchasing securities in line with its new investment strategy. The price at which portfolio securities are bought by the Combined Fund in line with its new investment strategy, and the price at which they would be sold in advance of the tender offer, cannot be predicted; as a result, the amount of capital gains (or losses) to be realized from the sale of such securities to raise cash for the tender offer cannot be estimated.&nbsp; The amount of net capital gains realized and distributed can fluctuate widely and will depend on, among other things, market conditions at the time of the purchases and sales.&nbsp; Any net capital gains realized will be distributed prior to the end of 2018, and such distribution will be taxable to tax-paying shareholders. These gains may be offset by any capital losses realized during the Combined Fund&#146;s fiscal year ending December&nbsp;31, 2018. Disclosure to this effect has been added to the Registration Statement.</p>
