Bond Fund (the &#147;Fund&#148;) is issuing transferable rights (the &#147;Rights&#148;) to its
shareholders of record as of September 13, 2010 (the &#147;Record Date&#148;). These
Rights will allow shareholders and other persons who obtain Rights from
shareholders (such shareholders and other persons together, &#147;Rightholders&#148;) to
subscribe for new common shares of beneficial interest of the Fund (&#147;Shares&#148;)
in an aggregate amount of approximately 18,725,102 Shares (the &#147;Offer&#148;). In
certain circumstances, the Fund may increase the number of common shares of
beneficial interest of the Fund subject to subscription by up to 25%.&#160; You will receive one Right for each whole
Share you own on the Record Date. You may buy one new Share of the Fund for
every three Rights that you receive (1-for-3). If you receive less than three
Rights in total, you will be entitled to buy one new Share.<b>&#160; </b>Rightholders who are shareholders
as of the Record Date and fully exercise their Rights may purchase additional
common shares of beneficial interest, subject to the limitations and the
allotment as described in this prospectus (the &#147;Over-Subscription Privilege&#148;).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Rights are transferable
and will be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange Amex (the &#147;NYSE

listed, and the Shares issued in this Offer will be listed, on the NYSE Amex
under the symbol &#147;DHY.&#148; As of September&nbsp;9, 2010, the last reported net
asset value per Share was $2.86 and the last reported sales price of a Share on
the NYSE Amex was $3.06.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The subscription price per
Share will be determined based upon a formula equal to 92.5% of the average of
the last reported sales price of the Fund&#146;s common shares of beneficial
interest on the NYSE Amex on the Expiration Date (as defined below) and each of
the four preceding trading days (the &#147;Subscription Price&#148;).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If you do not exercise your
Rights, you will, upon the completion of the Offer, own a smaller proportional
interest in the Fund than you do now. In addition, because the Subscription
Price per Share may be less than the then current net asset value per Share,
the completion of the Offer may result in an immediate dilution of the net
asset value per Share for all existing shareholders. Such dilution could be
substantial. If such dilution occurs, shareholders will experience a decrease
in the net asset value per Share held by them, irrespective of whether they
exercise all or any portion of their Rights. The distribution to shareholders
of transferable Rights, which may themselves have intrinsic value, will afford
such shareholders the potential of receiving cash payment upon the sale of the
Rights, receipt of which may be viewed as partial compensation for the
potential economic dilution of their interests. The Fund cannot state precisely
the extent of this dilution because the Fund does not know what the net asset
value will be when the Offer expires, how many Rights will be exercised or the
exact expenses of the Offer. Volatility in the market price of Shares of the
Fund may increase or decrease during the Offer. No assurance can be given that
a market for the Rights will develop, or as to the value, if any, that the
Rights will have. For further information on the effects of dilution, see
&#147;Special Considerations and Risk Factors&#148; on page&nbsp;33 of the prospectus.</font></p>

  Fund is issuing to its common shareholders of record, as of the close of
  business on September&nbsp;13, 2010 (the &#147;Record Date&#148;), transferable rights
  (&#147;Rights&#148;) to subscribe for an aggregate of approximately 18,725,102 common
  shares of beneficial interest of the Fund (&#147;Shares&#148;), $0.001 par value per
  Share (the &#147;Offer&#148;). In certain circumstances described below under
  &#147;Over-Subscription Privilege,&#148; the Fund may increase the number of common
  shares of beneficial interest subject to subscription by up to 25%. Each
  shareholder will receive one Right for each whole Share held by the
  shareholder as of the Record Date. Such shareholders may transfer Rights to
  other persons. Existing shareholders of the Fund who retain all or part of
  their Rights and persons acquiring Rights from such shareholders are together
  referred to as &#147;Rightholders.&#148; A Rightholder may subscribe for one new Share
  of the Fund for every three Rights that are held by the Rightholder (1-for-3).
  No fractional Shares will be issued. If a shareholder receives less than three
  Rights in total, that shareholder will be entitled to subscribe for one new
  Share. The right to acquire Shares during the Subscription Period (defined
  below) is referred to as the &#147;Primary Subscription&#148; and the Shares issued
  through the Primary Subscription are referred to as the &#147;Primary Subscription
  Shares.&#148;<br>
  <br>
  If a Rightholder is a shareholder as of the Record Date (&#147;Record Date
  Shareholder&#148;) and exercises all of the Rights it received in the Primary
  Subscription, that Rightholder also may subscribe for additional common
  shares of beneficial interest of the Fund pursuant to the Over-Subscription
  Privilege (as defined below).<br>
  <br>
  A Rightholder may elect to sell his or her Rights. The Rights will be traded
  on the NYSE Amex under the symbol &#147;DHY RT&#148; during the course of the Offer.
  The Fund will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that an adequate
  trading market for the Rights will exist but there is no assurance that a
  market for the Rights will develop. Trading in the Rights on the NYSE Amex
  may be conducted until and including the close of trading on the last NYSE
  Amex trading day prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below).<br>
  <br>
  Assuming a market for the Rights develops, Rightholders who do not wish to
  exercise any or all of their rights may sell the Rights through the
  Subscription Agent (defined below) or through their broker. Any Rights
  submitted to the Subscription Agent for sale must be received by the
  Subscription Agent on or before 4:00&nbsp;p.m., Eastern Time on October 8,
  2010 (or, if the Subscription Period (as defined below) is extended by 4:00&nbsp;p.m.,
  Eastern Time, five business days prior to the Expiration Date), due to normal
  settlement procedures. See &#147;The Offer.&#148;</font></p>

  (i)&nbsp;that the Offer provides shareholders the opportunity to purchase

  shareholders who do not fully exercise their Rights will own, upon completion
  of the Offer, a smaller proportional interest in the Fund than they owned
  before the Offer; (iii)&nbsp;the increased equity capital to be available
  upon completion of a fully-subscribed Offer, including the issuance of the
  Additional Shares (as defined below), that could be used for making additional
  investments consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objectives; (iv)&nbsp;various
  other capital-raising alternatives, including adding a second class of shares
  through the issuance of preferred shares, conducting a secondary offering of
  common shares, conducting at-the-market offerings, and conducting a
  non-transferable rights offering; (v)&nbsp;the size of the Offer in relation
  to the number of Shares outstanding; (vi)&nbsp;the Investment Adviser&#146;s
  belief that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders
  to increase the assets of the Fund and that the current market environment
  offers the Fund opportunities to deploy additional capital to take advantage

  to maintain the Fund&#146;s desired leverage ratio. Leverage creates a greater
  risk of loss, as well as a potential for more gain, for the common shares
  than if leverage were not used. Interest on borrowings may be at a fixed or
  floating rate and generally will be based on short-term rates. The costs
  associated with the Fund&#146;s use of leverage, including the issuance of such
  leverage and the payment of dividends or interest on such leverage, will be
  borne entirely by the holders of common shares. As long as the rate of
  return, net of applicable Fund expenses, on the Fund&#146;s investment portfolio
  investments purchased with leverage exceeds the costs associated with such
  leverage, the Fund will generate more return or income than will be needed to
  pay such costs. In this event, the excess will be available to pay higher
  dividends to holders of common shares. Conversely, if the Fund&#146;s return on
  such assets is less than the cost of leverage and other Fund expenses, the
  return to the holders of the common shares will diminish. To the extent that
  the Fund uses leverage, the net asset value and market price of the common
  shares and the yield to holders of common shares will be more volatile. The
  Fund&#146;s leveraging strategy may not be successful. See &#147;Use of Leverage&#148; and

  weekly value of the Fund&#146;s total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other
  than the aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage) (the &#147;Managed Assets&#148;)
  and 0.75% of the average weekly value of the Managed Assets greater than $250
  million. Credit Suisse may voluntarily waive a portion of its fees from time
  to time and temporarily limit the expenses to be borne by the Fund. Effective
  January&nbsp;1, 2007, Credit Suisse agreed to waive 0.15% of the fees payable
  under the Investment Advisory Agreement. During periods in which the Fund is
  utilizing leverage, the advisory fee will be higher than if the Fund did not
  utilize a leveraged capital structure because the fee is calculated as a
  percentage of the Managed Assets including those purchased with leverage. The
  Fund is currently utilizing leverage. The Investment Adviser is located at

  your Rights, you will, upon the completion of the Offer, own a smaller
  proportional interest in the Fund than you do now and you may incur dilution
  of ownership and voting, as well as dilution of your share of any distributions
  made by the Fund, as a result of the Offer. In addition, if you do not submit
  a subscription request pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege and the
  Fund issues Additional Shares, you may experience further dilution of
  ownership and voting, as well as further dilution of your share of any
  distributions made by the Fund. Also, because the Subscription Price per
  Share may be less than the then current NAV per Share, the completion of the
  Offer may result in an immediate dilution of the net asset value per Share
  for all existing shareholders. Such dilution could be substantial. If such
  dilution occurs, shareholders will experience a decrease in the net asset
  value per Share held by them, irrespective of whether they exercise all or
  any portion of their Rights. The Fund cannot state precisely the extent of
  this dilution because the Fund does not know what the NAV will be when the
  Offer expires, how many Rights will be exercised or the exact expenses of the
  Offer. See &#147;Special Considerations and Risk Factors &#151; Potential Dilution.&#148;</font></p>

  present the opportunity to invest in high yielding securities. This
  expectation is based on the current market environment for high yield debt
  securities, which could change in response to interest rate levels, general
  economic conditions, specific industry conditions and other factors. If the
  market environment for high yield debt securities changes in a manner that
  adversely affects the yield of such securities, the Offer could cause the
  Fund to invest in securities that are lower yielding than those in which it
  is currently invested. In addition, even if the market for high yield debt
  securities continues to present attractive investment opportunities, there is
  no assurance that the Fund will be able to invest the proceeds of the Offer
  in high yielding securities or that other potential benefits of the Offer
  will be realized. The Offer could reduce the Fund&#146;s current dividend yield if
  the Fund is unable to invest the proceeds of the Offer in securities that
  provide a yield at least equal to the current dividend yield. See &#147;Special
  Considerations and Risk Factors &#151; Potential Yield Reduction.&#148;</font></p>

  Grade Securities Risk.</font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> Lower grade securities are regarded as
  being predominantly speculative as to the issuer&#146;s ability to make payments
  of principal and interest. Investment in such securities involves substantial
  risk. Issuers of lower grade securities may be highly leveraged and may not
  have available to them more traditional methods of financing. Therefore, the
  risks associated with acquiring the securities of such issuers generally are
  greater than is the case with higher-rated securities. For example, during an
  economic downturn or a sustained period of rising interest rates, issuers of
  lower grade securities may be more likely to experience financial stress,
  especially if such issuers are highly leveraged. During periods of economic
  downturn, such issuers may not have sufficient revenues to meet their
  interest payment obligations. The issuer&#146;s ability to service its debt
  obligations also may be adversely affected by specific issuer developments,
  the issuer&#146;s inability to meet specific projected business forecasts or the
  unavailability of additional financing. The risk of loss due to default by
  the issuer is significantly greater for the holders of lower grade securities
  because such securities may be unsecured and may be subordinate to other
  creditors of the issuer. Other than with respect to Distressed Securities,
  discussed below, the lower grade securities in which the Fund may invest do
  not include instruments which, at the time of investment, are in default or
  the issuers of which are in bankruptcy. However, there can be no assurance
  that such events will not occur after the Fund purchases a particular
  security, in which case the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. See
  &#147;Special Considerations and Risk Factors &#151; Lower Grade Securities Risk.&#148;</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Distressed
  Securities Risk. </font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a component of the Fund&#146;s investment in &#147;junk
  bonds,&#148; the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in Distressed
  Securities. Such securities are the subject of bankruptcy proceedings or
  otherwise in default as to the repayment of principal and/or payment of
  interest at the time of acquisition by the Fund or are rated in the lower
  rating categories (Ca or lower by Moody&#146;s and CC or lower by S&amp;P) or
  which, if unrated, are in the judgment of Credit Suisse of equivalent
  quality. Investment in Distressed Securities is speculative and involves
  significant risk. Distressed Securities frequently do not produce income
  while they are outstanding and may require the Fund to bear certain
  extraordinary expenses in order to protect and recover its investment.
  Therefore, to the extent the Fund pursues its secondary objective of capital
  appreciation through investment in Distressed Securities, the Fund&#146;s ability
  to achieve current income for shareholders may be diminished. See &#147;Special
  Considerations and Risk Factors &#151; Distressed Securities.&#148;</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Credit Risk. </font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Credit risk is the risk
  that one or more of the Fund&#146;s investments in debt securities or other
  instruments will decline in price, or fail to pay interest, liquidation value
  or principal when due, because the issuer of the obligation or the issuer of
  a reference security experiences an actual or perceived decline in its
  financial status. In addition to the credit risks associated with high yield
  securities, the Fund could also lose money if the issuer of other debt
  obligations, or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, repurchase
  agreement, loan of portfolio securities or other obligation, is, or is
  perceived to be, unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest
  payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. The downgrade of a security
  may further decrease its value. See &#147;Special Considerations and Risk Factors

  prices of debt obligations fall, and vice versa. Interest rate risk is the
  risk that debt obligations and other instruments in the Fund&#146;s portfolio will
  decline in value because of increases in market interest rates. This risk may
  be particularly acute because market interest rates are </font></p>

  security&#146;s duration and reduce the security&#146;s value. The Fund&#146;s use of
  leverage will tend to increase interest rate risk.</font></p>
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Investments
  in floating rate debt instruments, although generally less sensitive to
  interest rate changes than longer duration fixed rate instruments, may
  nevertheless decline in value in response to rising interest rates if, for
  example, the rates at which they pay interest do not rise as much, or as
  quickly, as market interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate
  instruments will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline.
  Inverse floating rate debt securities may also exhibit greater price
  volatility than a fixed rate debt obligation with similar credit quality. To
  the extent the Fund holds floating rate instruments, a decrease (or, in the
  case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest
  rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the
  net asset value of the Fund&#146;s common shares. See &#147;Special Considerations and
  Risk Factors &#151; Interest Rate Risk.&#148;</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Leverage
  Risk. </font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund currently leverages through borrowings
  from a credit facility. The use of leverage, which can be described as
  exposure to changes in price at a ratio greater than the amount of equity
  invested, through borrowings or other forms of market exposure, magnifies
  both the favorable and unfavorable effects of price movements in the
  investments made by the Fund. Insofar as the Fund continues to employ
  leverage in its investment operations, the Fund will be subject to
  substantial risks of loss.</font></p>
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Therefore,
  if the market value of the Fund&#146;s investment portfolio declines, any leverage
  will result in a greater decrease in net asset value to common shareholders
  than if the Fund were not leveraged. Such greater net asset value decrease
  will also tend to cause a greater decline in the market price for the common
  shares. Further, if at any time while the Fund has leverage outstanding it
  does not meet applicable asset coverage requirements (as discussed below), it
  may be required to suspend distributions to common shareholders until the
  requisite asset coverage is restored. Any such suspension might impair the
  ability of the Fund to meet the regulated investment company (&#147;RIC&#148;)
  distribution requirements and to avoid Fund-level U.S. federal income and/or
  excise taxes.</font></p>
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As
  noted above, the Fund currently leverages through borrowings from a credit
  facility. The Fund has entered into a revolving credit agreement (the &#147;Credit
  Agreement&#148;) with State Street to borrow up to the least of:
  (a)&nbsp;$75,000,000; (b)&nbsp;an amount that is no greater than 30% of the
  Fund&#146;s total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than aggregate indebtedness
  constituting leverage); and (c)&nbsp;the Borrowing Base as defined in the
  Credit Agreement. Such borrowings constitute financial leverage. The Credit
  Agreement contains customary covenant, negative covenant and default
  provisions, including covenants that limit the Fund&#146;s ability to incur
  additional debt or consolidate or merge into or with any person, other than
  as permitted, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly,
  all or substantially all of its assets. In addition, the Fund agreed not to purchase
  assets not contemplated by the investment policies and restrictions in effect
  when the Credit Agreement became effective. Furthermore, the Fund may not
  incur additional debt from any other party, except for in limited
  circumstances (<i>e.g.</i>, in the ordinary
  course of business). Such restrictions shall apply only so long as the Credit
  Agreement remains in effect.</font></p>
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Indebtedness
  issued under the Credit Agreement is not convertible into any other
  securities of the Fund. Outstanding amounts would be payable at maturity or
  such earlier times as required by the Credit Agreement. The Fund may be
  required to prepay outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement in the
  event of the occurrence of certain events of default. The Fund is expected to
  indemnify the lenders under the Credit </font></p>

  securities of foreign entities and securities denominated in foreign
  currencies involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments,
  including, but not limited to, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, future
  foreign political and economic developments, different legal and accounting
  systems and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign
  governmental laws or restrictions. Securities prices in different countries
  are subject to different economic, financial, political and social factors.
  Since the Fund may invest in securities denominated or quoted in currencies
  other than the U.S. dollar, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may
  affect the value of securities in the Fund and the unrealized appreciation or
  depreciation of investments. Currencies of certain countries may be volatile
  and therefore may affect the value of securities denominated in such
  currencies. The Fund may, but is not obligated to, engage in certain
  transactions to hedge the currency-related risks of investing in non-U.S.
  dollar denominated securities. In addition, with respect to certain foreign
  countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory
  taxation, difficulty in obtaining or enforcing a court judgment, economic,
  political or social instability or diplomatic developments that could affect
  investments in those countries. Moreover, individual foreign economies may
  differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as
  growth of gross domestic product, rates of inflation, capital reinvestment,
  resources, self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. Certain foreign
  investments also may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. These risks
  often are heightened for investments in smaller, emerging capital markets.

  of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their
  net asset values. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from
  the risk that the Fund&#146;s net asset value could decrease as a result of its
  investment activities and may be greater for investors expecting to sell

  Although the value of the Fund&#146;s net assets is generally considered by market
  participants in determining whether to purchase or sell Shares, whether
  investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of the Shares will
  depend entirely upon whether the market price of the Shares at the time of
  sale is above or below the investor&#146;s purchase price for the Shares. Because
  the market price of the Shares will be determined by factors such as net
  asset value, dividend and distribution levels and their stability (which will

  portfolio holdings, the timing and success of the Fund&#146;s investment

attributable to shareholders would be $215,027,687. If the subscription rate of
the Offer is 50%, &#147;Other Expenses&#148; would be 0.26% (a difference of 3 basis

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The example set forth above
assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at NAV, and an annual
expense ratio of 2.04%. The table above and the assumption in the example of a
5% annual return are required by the SEC regulations applicable to all
management investment companies. The example and fee table should not be
considered a representation of past or future expenses or annual rates of
return. Actual expenses or annual rates of return may be greater or lesser than
those assumed for purposes of the example and fee table. In addition, while the
example assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at NAV, participants
in the Fund&#146;s automatic dividend reinvestment plan may receive Shares purchased
or issued at a price or value different from NAV. See &#147;Dividends and
Distributions; Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan.&#148;</font></p>

shares outstanding method.(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;Total investment return at net asset
value is based on changes in the net asset value of fund shares and assumes
reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any. Total investment return at
market value is based on changes in the market price at which the fund&#146;s shares
traded on the stock exchange during the period and assumes reinvestment of
dividends and distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the fund&#146;s
dividend reinvestment program. Because the fund&#146;s shares trade in the stock
market based on investor demand, the fund may trade at a price higher or lower
than its net asset value. Therefore, returns are calculated based on share
price and net asset value. Total returns for periods less than one year are not
annualized.</font></p>

Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price

assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at actual prices
pursuant to the fund&#146;s dividend reinvestment program. Because the fund&#146;s shares
trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the fund may trade at a
price higher or lower than its net asset value. Therefore, returns are

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Immediately prior to the
Fund&#146;s announcement of the Offer on August&nbsp;25, 2010, the last reported
sale price of a Share on the NYSE Amex was $3.06. The Fund&#146;s NAV per Share on August&nbsp;25,

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund is issuing to its
common shareholders of record, as of the close of business on the Record Date,
Rights to subscribe for an aggregate of approximately 18,725,102 Shares of the
Fund. In certain circumstances described below under &#147;Over-Subscription
Privilege,&#148; the Fund may increase the number of common shares of beneficial
interest of the Fund subject to subscription by up to 25%. Each shareholder
will receive one Right for each whole Share held by the shareholder as of the
Record Date. Such shareholders may transfer Rights to other persons. Existing
shareholders of the Fund who retain all or part of their Rights and persons
acquiring Rights from such shareholders are together referred to as
&#147;Rightholders.&#148; A Rightholder may subscribe for one new Share of the Fund for
every three Rights that are held by the Rightholder (1-for-3). No fractional
Shares will be issued. If a shareholder receives less than three Rights in
total, that shareholder will be entitled to subscribe for one new Share.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If a Rightholder is a Record
Date Shareholder and exercises all of the Rights it received in the Primary
Subscription, that Rightholder also may subscribe for additional common shares
of beneficial interest of the Fund pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For purposes of determining
the maximum number of Shares a shareholder may acquire pursuant to the Offer,
broker-dealers, trust companies, banks or others whose shares are held of
record by Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., the nominee for the Depository
Trust&nbsp;Company (&#147;DTC&#148;), or by any other depository or nominee will be
deemed to be the holders of the Rights that are held by Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or
such other depository or nominee on their behalf.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Rights are transferable
and will be listed for trading on the NYSE Amex under the symbol &#147;DHY RT&#148;
during the course of the Offer. Trading in the Rights on the NYSE Amex is
expected to be conducted until the close of trading on the NYSE Amex on October
14, 2010 (or if the Offer is extended, until the last business day prior to the
extended Expiration Date). See &#147;Sale of Rights.&#148; The Shares, once issued, will
be listed on the NYSE Amex under the symbol &#147;DHY.&#148; The Rights will be evidenced
by subscription certificates which will be mailed to Record Date Shareholders,
except as discussed below under &#147;Requirements for Foreign Shareholders.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Rights
may be exercised at any time during the Subscription Period, which commences on
September&nbsp;13, 2010 and ends at 5:00&nbsp;p.m., Eastern time, on the
Expiration Date. The Rights are evidenced by a Subscription Certificate that
will be mailed to shareholders, except as discussed below under &#147;Foreign
Restrictions.&#148; The methods by which Rights may be exercised and payments may be
made for Shares are set forth below in &#147;Exercise of Rights&#148; and &#147;Payment for
Shares.&#148;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Any Record Date Shareholder
who fully exercises all Rights initially issued to it is entitled to subscribe
for Primary Subscription Shares that were not subscribed for by other
Rightholders in the Primary Subscription. In addition, in the event that the
Fund&#146;s per share net asset value is at or below the Subscription Price, the Fund
may issue Additional Shares to satisfy over-subscription requests in excess of
the available Primary Subscription Shares. Rightholders who are not Record Date
Shareholders may not participate in the Over-Subscription Privilege.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Exercising Rightholders,
including both Rightholders purchasing Shares in the Primary Subscription and
those who purchase Shares pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege
(collectively, &#147;Exercising Rightholders&#148;), will not know the actual
Subscription Price when they make their investment decision because the
Expiration Date and the date upon which the price of the Rights will be
determined will be the same date. Once you subscribe for Shares and the Fund
receives payment or a guarantee of payment (as described under &#147;Payment for
Shares&#148;), you will not be able to change your decision, except under the
circumstances described under &#147;Notice of NAV Decline.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund believes that issuance of transferable Rights to shareholders as of the
Record Date, which themselves may have realizable value, will afford
non-exercising shareholders the potential to receive a cash payment upon sale
of such Rights. Shareholders who do not exercise their Rights in full will
suffer a greater level of dilution of their interest in the Fund than
shareholders who do. See &#147;Special Considerations and Risk Factors.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Purpose of the Offer</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board of Trustees of the
Fund (the &#147;Board&#148;) has determined that it would be in the best interests of the
Fund and its shareholders to increase the assets of the Fund and that the Offer
is currently an effective and efficient&#160;
way to raise additional assets for the Fund.&#160; In reaching its conclusion to approve the
Offer on the terms set out in this prospectus, the Board considered the advice
and recommendations of Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, the Fund&#146;s
investment adviser (&#147;Credit Suisse&#148; or the &#147;Investment Adviser&#148;), Chatsworth
Securities LLC (&#147;Chatsworth&#148;), an investment banking firm with expertise in the
field of closed-end investment companies, and Thomas J. Herzfeld
Advisors,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;Herzfeld&#148;), an independent consultant recognized as an
expert in the field of closed-end investment companies, as discussed further
below, and was advised by Fund counsel and counsel to the independent
Trustees.&#160; The following is a brief description
of the Board&#146;s consideration of the Offer.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On February&nbsp;16, 2010,
at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board, after discussions with Fund
management regarding the Fund and its ability to deploy additional capital in
attractive investments, the Board requested that Fund management explore
various capital raising alternatives for the Fund given the Fund&#146;s small size
and opportunities in the high yield market. At this meeting, the Board, each
member of which is not an &#147;interested person&#148; of the Fund or the Investment
Adviser as defined in the 1940 Act, also resolved to engage Herzfeld to advise
the Board on the best method to add assets to the Fund. Herzfeld was
subsequently engaged to prepare an analysis of alternative capital raising
methods for the Fund, which analysis would include a focus on how closed-end
funds add assets, what method might be pursued in the current market
environment, what factors unique to the Fund may affect the success of any
offering, and, if a rights offering is pursued, how it should be structured
given the Fund&#146;s shareholder base, the high yield market generally, and the Fund&#146;s
prevailing discount levels.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On May&nbsp;3, 2010, at the
next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board, Fund management distributed
materials regarding various methods for the Fund to increase assets, which
included rights offerings, at-the-market offerings and secondary offerings. The
Board was also provided with a written analysis from Herzfeld of potential
capital raising strategies including issuing a second class of stock, engaging
in a secondary offering of common shares, and conducting a rights offering.&#160; In summary, Herzfeld advised the Board that
in its view, after considering the circumstances unique to the Fund, a rights
offering under terms generally consistent with the Offer would be the best
method for the Fund to employ in seeking to increase its assets.&#160; Specifically, among other recommendations,
Herzfeld recommended a transferable rights offering rather than a
non-transferable rights offering, a 1-for-3 share for rights exchange ratio,
and a 7.5% discount pricing formula.&#160; At
this meeting, the Board considered the potential benefits of a rights offering
for the Fund in general terms, and resolved to have management supplement and
expand its analysis and present a formal and more detailed proposal for a
rights offering at a later meeting.&#160; The
Board also resolved to engage Chatsworth to provide further independent advice
and assistance to help the Board in evaluating the terms of the proposed Offer,
the risks associated with the Offer, the high yield bond market in general, and
potential alternative capital raising strategies.</font></p>



<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">At a Board meeting on
July&nbsp;22, 2010, the Board was presented with materials from Fund counsel
providing guidance on the legal issues the Board should consider in evaluating
a rights offering.&#160; The Board was also
provided with a written report from Chatsworth with its opinions with regard to
capital raising options for the Fund, its evaluation of the terms of the
proposed Offer and its specific recommendations regarding the proposed Offer.&#160; A representative of Chatsworth also attended
the meeting to discuss Chatsworth&#146;s evaluation of the proposed Offer and
respond to any questions from the Trustees.&#160;
In its report, Chatsworth stated that in its view, the Offer would be
beneficial for the shareholders of the Fund.&#160;
Chatsworth also provided specific recommendations for the terms of the
Offer, including a 1-for-3 share for rights exchange ratio, a 7.5% discount
formula to be used for the Subscription Price, conducting the Offer without a
dealer-manager to reduce costs, and offering the option of issuing the
Additional Shares through the Over-Subscription Privilege.&#160; Chatsworth concluded, after considering the
circumstances unique to the Fund, that a rights offering under terms generally
consistent with the Offer would be the best approach for the Fund to raise
additional capital.</font></p>

August&nbsp;17, 2010, Credit Suisse provided additional research, analysis and
background material regarding the proposed Offer, as well as materials
providing guidance on the practical and financial issues the Board should
consider in evaluating a rights offering.&#160;

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">with a formal proposal of the Offer.&#160;
Following consideration of all the factors and recommendations discussed
above, the Board approved the Offer on the terms set forth in this prospectus.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In connection with its
conclusion to approve the Offer, the Board considered, among other things, the
following factors:</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 1.0in;text-indent:-.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(i)</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font><u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Opportunity to
Purchase Below Market Price</font></u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> &#151; The Board considered the
Subscription Price relative to the market price per Share, noting that the
Offer provides shareholders the opportunity to purchase Shares of the Fund at a
price below the market price.&#160; The Board
established the Subscription Price and the 1-for-3 share for rights exchange
ratio based on the recommendations of Herzfeld and Chatsworth and with a view
toward, among other things, providing an incentive to shareholders to exercise
Rights.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 1.0in;text-indent:-.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 1.0in;text-indent:-.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(ii)</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font><u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Potential
Ownership and NAV Dilution</font></u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> &#151; The Board took into
account that shareholders who do not fully exercise their Rights will own, upon
completion of the Offer, a smaller proportional interest in the Fund than they
owned before the Offer.&#160; The Board structured
the Offer in a way that is intended to provide all shareholders with an equal
opportunity to exercise or sell Rights and for the Fund to sell a substantial
number of Shares.&#160; In particular, the
Rights will be transferable so that non-exercising shareholders will have a
chance to sell their Rights for some cash value and thus partially offset any
potential dilution they will suffer by not exercising their Rights.&#160; The transferable nature of the Rights is
consistent with the recommendations of Herzfeld and Chatsworth.&#160; In addition, the Board noted that the
Subscription Price and the 1-for-3 share for rights exchange ratio were
established with a view to provide for, among other things, an active trading
market for the Rights.&#160; The Board
acknowledged that there is no guarantee that there will be an active trading
market for the Rights.</font></p>



<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board also considered
that because the Subscription Price per Share may be less than the then current
NAV per Share, the completion of the Offer may result in an immediate dilution
of the NAV per Share for all existing shareholders, irrespective of whether
they exercise all or a portion of their Rights.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 1.0in;text-indent:-.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(iii)</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font><u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Increase in
Capital</font></u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> &#151; The Board considered the increased equity capital to be available
upon completion of a fully-subscribed Offer, including the issuance of the
Additional Shares, that could be used for making additional investments
consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objectives.&#160; Credit Suisse advised the Board that it believed
such additional capital could be deployed in an effective and timely manner
consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objectives.&#160; While there is no assurance that such
additional capital could be invested in high yielding securities paying
interest comparable to that of the Fund&#146;s current holdings or that the market
will continue to provide attractive investment opportunities for the Fund,
Credit Suisse advised the Board that it anticipated being able to invest such
additional capital in attractive securities consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment
goals.&#160; The Board considered that the
current market environment for high yield securities may change, which may
adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to invest the proceeds of the Offer in
securities that provide a yield at least equal to the current dividend yield,
in which case the Fund may be required to reduce its dividend. The Board also
considered Chatsworth&#146;s analysis of the high yield debt market and its view,
based on assumptions provided by Credit Suisse, that the Offer would be
beneficial for the shareholders of the Fund.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 1.0in;text-indent:-.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board noted the fact
that the increase in capital is not anticipated to cause the Fund to be less
leveraged than it is currently, as the Fund intends to maintain its desired
leverage ratio following the completion of the Offer by engaging in additional
borrowings.</font></p>



<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

Capital-Raising Methods</font></u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> &#151; The Board considered various other
capital-raising alternatives, including adding a second class of shares through
the issuance of preferred shares, conducting a secondary offering of common
shares, conducting at-the-market offerings, and conducting a non-transferable
rights offering.&#160; The Board considered
the report of Herzfeld, which concluded that a transferable rights offering
would be the preferable method for the Fund to raise capital based in part on
the following factors: (1)&nbsp;the Fund&#146;s prevailing small premium to net
asset value; (2)&nbsp;the amount of capital to be raised through the Offer;
(3)&nbsp;the types of investors that are likely to purchase shares offered through
different methods; (4)&nbsp;the terms of any underwriting and</font></p>

an underwriter through other methods; and (5)&nbsp;the benefits to the Fund of
new capital.&#160; The Board also considered
the conclusions of Chatsworth, which advised the Board that a transferable
rights offering under terms generally consistent with the Offer would be the
best alternative for the Fund to raise additional capital.&#160; The Board considered Chatsworth&#146;s advice that
a dealer-manager is not necessary for a transferable rights offering and
increases costs in determining not to engage a dealer-manager for the Offer.</font></p>

Offer</font></u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> &#151; The Board considered the size of the Offer in relation to the number
of Shares outstanding.&#160; Based on
recommendations from both Herzfeld and Chatsworth, the Board decided on a
1-for-3 offering with an Over-Subscription Privilege.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 1.0in;text-indent:-.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

the Securities Markets</font></u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> &#151; As noted above, the Board took into
account the Investment Adviser&#146;s belief that it would be in the best interests
of the Fund and its shareholders to increase the assets of the Fund and that
the current market environment offers the Fund opportunities to deploy
additional capital to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and
seek to enhance the Fund&#146;s future risk-adjusted returns.</font></p>

Reduction in Expense Ratio</font></u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> &#151; The Board was advised by
Credit Suisse that the increase in assets may result in a modestly lower
expense ratio for the Fund by spreading the Fund&#146;s fixed costs over a larger
asset base.&#160; However, the Board
considered that savings from a reduced expense ratio could be offset at first
by the expenses of the Offer, which are estimated to be approximately $450,000.</font></p>

there can be no assurances that the Offer will be successful nor can there be
any assurance that any benefits noted above will be realized.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If Rightholders do not
exercise all of the Rights held by them in the Primary Subscription, any
Primary Subscription Shares for which subscriptions have not been received will
be offered, by means of the Over-Subscription Privilege, to Record Date
Shareholders who have exercised all the Rights initially issued to them and who
wish to acquire more than the number of Shares for which the Rights held by
them are exercisable. Record Date Shareholders who exercise all the Rights
initially issued to them will be asked to indicate on their Subscription
Certificates how many Shares they are willing to acquire pursuant to the
Over-Subscription Privilege. If sufficient Primary Subscription Shares remain
as a result of unexercised Rights, all over-subscription requests will be
honored in full. If sufficient Primary Subscription Shares are not available to
honor all over-subscription requests, the available Primary Subscription Shares
will be allocated among those Record Date Shareholders who over-subscribe based
on the number of Rights originally issued to them by the Fund.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:40.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, the Board has
established a Pricing Committee which is authorized, in the event that the Subscription
Price on the Expiration Date is equal to or above the Fund&#146;s per share net
asset value, to direct the Fund to issue Additional Shares to satisfy
over-subscription requests in excess of the available Primary Subscription
Shares. Should the Pricing Committee determine to issue some or all of these
Additional Shares, they will be allocated only among Record Date Shareholders
that submitted over-subscription requests. Additional Shares will be allocated
pro rata among those fully exercising Record Date Shareholders who
over-subscribe based on the number of Rights originally issued to them by the
Fund. Any Additional Shares issued by the Fund, collectively with any Primary
Subscription Shares not subscribed for through the Primary Subscription, will
be referred to in this Prospectus as the &#147;Excess Shares.&#148; Rightholders who are
not Record Date Shareholders may not participate in the Over-Subscription
Privilege.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The percentage of Excess
Shares each over-subscribing Record Date Shareholder may acquire may be rounded
up or down to result in delivery of whole common shares of beneficial interest;
provided, however, that if a pro rata allocation results in any holder being
allocated a greater number of Excess Shares than the holder subscribed for
pursuant to the exercise of such holder&#146;s Over-Subscription Privilege, then
such holder will be allocated only such number of Excess Shares as such holder
subscribed for and the remaining Excess Shares will be allocated among all
other holders then entitled to receive Excess Shares whose over-subscription
requests have not been fully honored. The allocation process may involve a
series of allocations in order to assure that the total number of Excess Shares
is distributed on a pro rata basis. Each Rightholder is required to purchase
all allocated Excess Shares requested on the Subscription Certificate.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The

Subscription Agent, before any Over-Subscription Privilege may be exercised
with respect to any particular beneficial owner, as to the aggregate number of
Rights exercised pursuant to the Primary Subscription and the number of Shares
subscribed for pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege by such beneficial
owner and that such beneficial owner&#146;s Primary Subscription was exercised in
full. &#160;Nominee holder over-subscription forms
will be </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">distributed</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> to banks, broker-dealers,

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Subscription Price per
Share will be determined based upon a formula equal to 92.5% of the average of
the last reported sales price of the Fund&#146;s common shares of beneficial
interest on the NYSE AMEX on the Expiration Date and each of the four preceding
trading days.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund announced the Offer
after the close of trading on the NYSE Amex on August 25, 2010. The NAV per
Share at the close of business on August 25, 2010 and September 9, 2010 was $2.84
and $2.88, respectively, and the last reported sale price of a Share on the
NYSE Amex on those dates was $3.06 and $3.06, respectively. Because the Offer
expires before the actual Subscription Price is determined, Rightholders who
decide to acquire Shares in the Primary Subscription or pursuant to the
Over-Subscription Privilege will not know the purchase price of such Shares
when they make such decision. Information about the Fund&#146;s NAV may be obtained
by calling 1-800-293-1232.</font></p>

Fund will suspend the Offer until it amends this prospectus if, after the
effective date of this prospectus, the Fund&#146;s NAV declines more than 10% from
its NAV as of the effective date. In such event, the Fund will notify
Rightholders of any such decline and permit Rightholders to cancel the exercise
of their Rights. Rightholders will have their payment for additional Shares
returned to them if they opt to cancel the exercise of their Rights.</font></p>

Date. Any additional payment required from Rightholders must be received by the
Subscription Agent within ten business days after the Confirmation Date (the
&#147;Final Payment Date&#148;). Any excess payment to be refunded by the Fund to a

business days prior to the Expiration Date (or if the Offer is extended, until five

common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to the Over-Subscription

eligible to participate in the Over-Subscription Privilege. Upon the timely
receipt by the Subscription Agent of appropriate instructions to sell Rights,
the Subscription Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to complete the
sale; and the Subscription Agent will remit the proceeds of sale, net of any
commissions, to the Rightholders. &#160;If the

such Rights are sold. The Subscription Agent will also attempt to sell all
Rights which remain unclaimed as a result of Subscription Certificates being
returned by the postal authorities to the Subscription Agent as undeliverable

made net of commissions on behalf of the nonclaiming Rightholders. The
Subscription Agent will hold the proceeds from those sales for the benefit of
such nonclaiming Rightholders until such proceeds are either claimed or become
subject to escheat. There can be no assurance that the Subscription Agent will
be able to complete the sale of any such Rights, and neither the Fund nor the
Subscription Agent has guaranteed any minimum sales price for the Rights. All
such Rights will be sold at the market price, if any, on the NYSE Amex.</font></p>

Employee Plan</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Special
considerations apply with respect to shareholders of the Fund that are
tax-deferral arrangements such as plans qualified under Section&nbsp;401(a)&nbsp;of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (&#147;Code&#148;) (including retirement
and 401(k)&nbsp;plans and Keogh plans of self-employed individuals), individual
retirement accounts under Section&nbsp;408(a)&nbsp;of the Code (&#147;IRAs&#148;), Roth
IRAs under section 408A of the Code, and custodial accounts under Section&nbsp;403(b)&nbsp;of
the Code (collectively, &#147;Plans&#148;). For example, additional contributions to a
Plan (other than permitted rollover contributions or trustee-to-trustee
transfers from other Plans) in order to exercise Rights, when taken together
with other contributions made to the Plan, may exceed limits under the Code,
resulting in (among other things) excise taxes for excess or nondeductible
contributions or the Plan&#146;s loss of its tax-favored status.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Due
to the complexity of the foregoing rules&nbsp;and the taxes, penalties, and
potential liability for noncompliance, shareholders which are Plans should
consult with their counsel and other advisors before their exercise or transfer
of Rights.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
following discussion summarizes the principal federal income tax consequences
of the Offer to a Rightholder that receives a Right in the Offering or
purchases a Right from another Rightholder. It is based upon the Code, U.S.
Treasury regulations,&nbsp;Internal Revenue Service rulings and judicial
decisions in effect on the date of this prospectus, all of which may be subject
to change or differing interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. This
discussion does not address all federal income tax aspects of the Offer that
may be relevant to a particular Rightholder in light of his or her individual
circumstances or to Rightholders subject to special treatment under the Code
(such as insurance companies, financial institutions, tax-exempt entities,
dealers in securities or traders electing mark-to-market treatment,
partnerships and other entities treated as pass-through entities for federal income
tax purposes, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies,
Rightholders with functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, S
corporations, Rightholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, governments
and their agencies and instrumentalities, foreign corporations, and persons who
are not citizens or residents of the United States), and it does not address
any state, local or foreign tax consequences. Accordingly, each Rightholder
should consult his or her own tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences
of the Offer for him or her. Each Rightholder should also review the discussion
of certain tax considerations affecting the Fund and its shareholders set forth
under &#147;Federal Income Taxation&#148; below and under &#147;Tax Status&#148; in the SAI.</font></p>

Fund&#146;s primary investment objective is to seek high current income. The Fund
will also seek capital appreciation as a secondary objective to the extent
consistent with its objective of seeking high current income. The Fund is

conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in fixed
income securities of U.S. issuers rated below investment grade quality (lower
than Baa by Moody&#146;s or lower than BBB by S&amp;P or comparably rated by another
nationally recognized rating agency) or in unrated income securities that
Credit Suisse determines to be of comparable quality. Securities rated lower
than Baa by Moody&#146;s and lower than BBB by S&amp;P are commonly known as &#147;junk
bonds.&#148; The Fund will generally not invest in securities rated at the time of
investment in the lowest rating categories (Ca or below for Moody&#146;s and CC or
below for S&amp;P) but may continue to hold securities which are subsequently
downgraded. However, it has authority to invest in securities rated as low as C

and in the future expects to continue to utilize leverage through borrowings,
including the issuance of debt securities, or through other transactions, such
as reverse repurchase agreements, which have the effect of leverage. The Fund
may use leverage up to 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
obtained through leverage). The Fund generally will not utilize leverage if it
anticipates that the Fund&#146;s leveraged capital structure would result in a lower
return to shareholders than that obtained over time with an unleveraged capital
structure. Use of leverage creates an opportunity for increased income and
capital appreciation for shareholders but also creates special risks. There can
be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful during any period
in which it is employed. See &#147;Use of Leverage.&#148;</font></p>

secondary objective of capital appreciation by investing in securities that
Credit Suisse expects may appreciate in value as a result of favorable
developments affecting the business or prospects of the issuer which may
improve the issuer&#146;s financial condition and credit rating or as a result of
declines in long-term interest rates.</font></p>

Fund may implement various temporary &#147;defensive&#148; strategies at times when
Credit Suisse determines that conditions in the markets make pursuing the
Fund&#146;s basic investment strategy inconsistent with the best interests of
shareholders. These strategies may include investing less than 80% of its total
assets in lower grade income securities by investing in higher quality debt
and/or money market instruments.</font></p>

Fund invests primarily in bonds, debentures, notes, other debt instruments,
convertible bonds and preferred stocks. The Fund&#146;s portfolio securities may
have fixed or variable rates of interest and may include zero coupon
securities, payment-in-kind securities or other deferred payment securities,
preferred stock, convertible debt obligations and convertible preferred stock,
units consisting of debt or preferred stock with warrants or other equity
features, secured floating rate loans and loan participations, government
securities, stripped securities, commercial paper and other short-term debt
obligations. The issuers of the Fund&#146;s portfolio securities may include
domestic and foreign corporations, partnerships, trusts or similar entities,
and governmental entities or their political subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities.
The Fund may invest in companies in, or governments of, developing countries.
In connection with its investments in corporate debt securities, or
restructuring of investments owned by the Fund, the Fund may receive warrants
or other non-income producing equity securities. The Fund may retain such
securities, including equity shares received upon conversion of convertible
securities, until Credit Suisse determines it is appropriate in light of
current market conditions to dispose of such securities.</font></p>

speculative elements, with higher vulnerability to default than corporate
securities with higher ratings. See &#147;Appendix A &#151; Description of Ratings&#148; in
the SAI for additional information concerning rating categories of Moody&#146;s and
S&amp;P.&#160; Subsequent to its purchase by
the Fund, an issue of securities may cease to be rated or its rating may be
reduced below the minimum required for purchase by the Fund.&#160; Neither event will require sale of such

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Lower grade securities,
though high yielding, are characterized by high risk. See &#147;Special Considerations
and Risk Factors &#151; Lower Grade Securities Risk.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Bond prices generally are
inversely related to interest rate changes; however, bond price volatility also
is inversely related to coupon. Accordingly, lower grade securities may be
relatively less sensitive to interest rate changes than higher quality
securities of comparable maturity, because of their higher coupon. This higher
coupon is what the investor receives in return for bearing greater credit risk.
The higher credit risk associated with lower grade securities potentially will
have a greater effect on the value of such securities than may be the case with
higher quality issues of comparable maturity, and will be a substantial factor
in the Fund&#146;s relative Share price volatility.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The ratings of Moody&#146;s,
S&amp;P and the other rating agencies represent their opinions as to the
quality of the obligations which they undertake to rate. Ratings are relative
and subjective and, although ratings may be useful in evaluating the safety of
interest and principal payments, they do not evaluate the market value risk of
such obligations. Although these ratings may be an initial criterion for
selection of portfolio investments, Credit Suisse also will evaluate these
securities and the ability of the issuers of such securities to pay interest
and principal. To the extent that the Fund invests in lower grade securities
that have not been rated by a rating agency, the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve its
investment objectives will be more dependent on Credit Suisse&#146;s credit analysis
than would be the case when the Fund invests in rated securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund may also invest in
zero coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred payment lower grade securities. Zero
coupon securities are securities that are sold at a discount to par value and
on which interest payments are not made during the life of the security. Upon
maturity, the holder is entitled to receive the par value of the security.
While interest payments are not made on such securities, holders of such
securities are deemed annually to have received &#147;phantom income.&#148; Because the
Fund will distribute this &#147;phantom income&#148; to shareholders, to the extent that
shareholders elect to receive dividends in cash rather than reinvesting such
dividends in additional Shares, the Fund will have fewer assets with which to
purchase income-producing securities. The Fund accrues income with respect to
these securities prior to the receipt of cash payments. Pay-in-kind securities
are securities that have interest payable by delivery of additional securities.
Upon maturity, the holder is entitled to receive the aggregate par value of the
securities. Deferred payment securities are securities that remain zero coupon
securities until a predetermined date, at which time the stated coupon rate
becomes effective and interest becomes payable at regular intervals. Zero
coupon, pay-in-kind and deferred payment securities are subject to greater
fluctuation in value and may have less liquidity in the event of adverse market
conditions than comparably rated securities paying cash interest at regular
interest payment periods.</font></p>

be converted at either a stated price or stated rate into underlying shares of
common stock. Convertible securities have characteristics similar to both
fixed-income and equity securities. Convertible securities generally are
subordinated to other similar but non-convertible securities of the same
issuer, although convertible bonds, as corporate debt obligations, enjoy
seniority in right of payment to all equity securities, and convertible
preferred stock is senior to shares of common stock of the same issuer. Because
of the subordination feature, however, convertible securities typically have
lower ratings than similar non-convertible securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Although to a lesser extent
than with fixed-income securities, the market value of convertible securities
tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, tends to increase
as interest rates decline. In addition, because of the conversion feature, the
market value of convertible securities tends to vary with fluctuations in the
market value of the underlying common stock. As the market price of the
underlying common stock declines, convertible securities tend to trade
increasingly on a yield basis, and so may not experience market value declines
to the same extent as the underlying common stock. When the market price of the
underlying common stock increases, the prices of the convertible securities
tend to rise as a reflection of the value of the underlying common stock. While
no securities investments are without risk, investments in convertible
securities generally entail less risk than investments in common stock of the
same issuer.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Convertible securities
provide for a stable stream of income with generally higher yields than common
stock and offer the potential for capital appreciation through the conversion
feature, which enables the holder to benefit from increases in the market price
of the underlying common stock. In return, however, convertible securities
generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible
securities of similar quality.</font></p>

and Floating Rate Securities.&#160; </font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Variable and
floating rate securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate
paid on the obligations. The terms of such obligations must provide that
interest rates are adjusted periodically based upon an interest rate adjustment
index as provided in the respective obligations. The adjustment intervals may
be regular, and range from daily up to annually, or may be event based, such as
based on a change in the prime rate.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund may invest in
floating rate debt instruments (&#147;floaters&#148;). The interest rate on a floater is
a variable rate which is tied to another interest rate, such as a money-market
index or Treasury Bill rate. The interest rate on a floater resets
periodically, typically every six months. Because of the interest rate reset
feature, floaters provide the Fund with a certain degree of protection against
rises in interest rates, although the Fund will participate in any declines in
interest rates as well. The Fund also may invest in inverse floating rate debt
instruments (&#147;inverse floaters&#148;). The interest rate on an inverse floater
resets in the opposite direction from the market rate of interest to which the
inverse floater is indexed or inversely to a multiple of the applicable index.
An inverse floating rate security may exhibit greater price volatility than a
fixed rate obligation of similar credit quality.</font></p>

loan participations (collectively, &#147;Loans&#148;) that are senior secured floating
rate Loans.&#160; Senior Loans are made to
corporations and other non-governmental entities and issuers.&#160; Senior Loans typically hold the most senior
position in the capital structure of the issuing entity, are typically secured
with specific collateral and typically have a claim on the assets and/or stock
of the borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debt holders and
stockholders of the borrower.&#160; The
proceeds of Senior Loans primarily are used to finance leveraged buyouts,
recapitalizations, mergers, acquisitions, stock repurchases, dividends, and, to
a lesser extent, to finance internal growth and for other corporate
purposes.&#160; Senior Loans typically have
rates of interest that are determined daily, monthly, quarterly or
semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium or credit
spread.&#160; Base lending rates in common
usage today are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate (&#147;LIBOR&#148;), and
secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (the &#147;Prime
Rate&#148;) and the certificate of deposit (&#147;CD&#148;) rate or other base lending rates
used by commercial lenders.</font></p>

&#147;second lien&#148; secured floating rate Loans made by public and private
corporations and other non-governmental entities and issuers for a variety of
purposes.&#160; Second Lien Loans are second
in right of payment to one or more Senior Loans of the related borrower.&#160; Second Lien Loans typically are secured by a
second priority security interest or lien to or on specified collateral
securing the borrower&#146;s obligation under the Loan and typically have similar
protections and rights as Senior Loans.&#160;
Second Lien Loans are not (and by their terms cannot become)
subordinated in right of payment to any obligation of the related borrower
other than Senior Loans of such borrower.&#160;
Second Lien Loans, like Senior Loans, typically have adjustable floating
rate interest payments.&#160; Because Second
Lien Loans are second to Senior Loans, they present a greater degree of
investment risk but often pay interest at higher rates reflecting this
additional risk.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund may also invest in
secured Loans other than Senior Loans and Second Lien Loans.&#160; Such secured Loans are made by public and
private corporations and other non-governmental entities and issuers for a
variety of purposes, and may rank lower in right of payment to one or more
Senior Loans and Second Lien Loans of the borrower.&#160; Such secured Loans typically are secured by a
lower priority security interest or lien to or on specified collateral securing
the borrower&#146;s obligation under the Loan, and typically have more subordinated
protections and rights than Senior Loans and Second Lien Loans.&#160; Secured Loans may become subordinated in
right of payment to more senior obligations of the borrower issued in the
future.&#160; Such secured Loans may have
fixed or adjustable floating rate interest payments.&#160; Because other secured Loans rank in payment
order behind Senior Loans and Second Lien Loans, they present a greater degree
of investment risk but often pay interest at higher rates reflecting this
additional risk.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Second
Lien Loans and other secured Loans generally are of below investment grade
quality.&#160; Other than their subordinated
status, Second Lien Loans and other secured Loans have many characteristics

the Fund buys, and the seller agrees to repurchase, a security at a mutually
agreed upon time and price (usually within seven days). The repurchase
agreement thereby determines the yield during the purchaser&#146;s holding period,
while the seller&#146;s obligation to repurchase is secured by the value of the
underlying security. Repurchase agreements could involve risks in the event of
a default or insolvency of the other party to the agreement, including possible
delays or restrictions upon the Fund&#146;s ability to dispose of the underlying
securities. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks or
non-bank dealers.</font></p>

deposit, time deposits, bankers&#146; acceptances and other short-term obligations
issued by domestic banks, foreign subsidiaries or foreign branches of domestic
banks, domestic and foreign branches of foreign banks, domestic savings and
loan associations and other banking institutions. With respect to such
securities issued by foreign subsidiaries or foreign branches of domestic

to invest fluctuating amounts at varying rates of interest pursuant to direct
arrangements between the Fund, as lender, and the borrower. These notes permit
daily changes in the amounts borrowed. Because these obligations are direct
lending arrangements between the lender and borrower, it is not contemplated
that such instruments generally will be traded, and there generally is no
established secondary market for these obligations, although they are
redeemable at face value, plus accrued interest, at any time. Accordingly,
where these obligations are not secured by letters of credit or other credit
support arrangements, the Fund&#146;s right to redeem is dependent on the ability of

between 25% and 30% of the Fund&#146;s total assets. The Fund seeks a leverage
ratio, based on a variety of factors including market conditions and the

purchased with leverage exceeds the costs associated with such leverage.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund&#146;s borrowings under its credit facility at October&nbsp;31, 2009 equal
approximately 21% of the Fund&#146;s total assets (including the proceeds of such
leverage). The Fund&#146;s asset coverage ratio as of October&nbsp;31, 2009 was 470%.
See &#147;Special Considerations and Risk Factors&#151;Leverage Risk&#148; for a brief
description of the Fund&#146;s credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust
Company.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Assuming the utilization of
leverage in the amount of 26% of the Fund&#146;s total assets and an annual interest
rate of 1.69% payable on such leverage based on market rates as of the date of
this prospectus, the additional income that the Fund must earn (net of
expenses) in order to cover such leverage is approximately $950,000. Actual
costs of leverage may be higher or lower than that assumed in the previous
example.</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Following
the completion of the Offer, the Fund intends to increase the amount of
leverage outstanding. The Fund may engage in additional borrowings in order to
maintain the Fund&#146;s desired leverage ratio. Leverage creates a greater risk of
loss, as well as a potential for more gain, for the common shares than if
leverage were not used. Interest on borrowings may be at a fixed or floating
rate and generally will be based on short-term rates. The costs associated with
the Fund&#146;s use of leverage, including the issuance of such leverage and the
payment of dividends or interest on such leverage, will be borne entirely by
the holders of common shares. As long as the rate of return, net of applicable
Fund expenses, on the Fund&#146;s investment portfolio investments purchased with
leverage exceeds the costs associated with such leverage, the Fund will
generate more return or income than will be needed to pay such costs. In this
event, the excess will be available to pay higher dividends to holders of
common shares. Conversely, if the Fund&#146;s return on such assets is less than the
cost of leverage and other Fund expenses, the return to the holders of the
common shares will diminish. To the extent that the Fund uses leverage, the net
asset value and market price of the common shares and the yield to holders of
common shares will be more volatile. The Fund&#146;s leveraging strategy may not be
successful. See &#147;Special Considerations and Risk Factors&#151;Leverage Risk.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The following table is
designed to illustrate the effect on the return to a holder of the Fund&#146;s
common shares of leverage in the amount of approximately 26% of the Fund&#146;s
total assets, assuming hypothetical annual returns of the Fund&#146;s investment
portfolio of minus 10% to plus 10%. As the table shows, leverage generally
increases the return to holders of common shares when portfolio return is
positive and greater than the cost of leverage and decreases the return when
the portfolio return is negative or less than the cost of leverage. The figures
appearing in the table are hypothetical and actual returns may be greater or
less than those appearing in the table.</font></p>

incur dilution of ownership and voting, as well as dilution of your share of
any distributions made by the Fund, as a result of the Offer. In addition, if
you do not submit a subscription request pursuant to the Over-Subscription
Privilege and the Fund issues Additional Shares, you may experience further
dilution of ownership and voting, as well as further dilution of your share of
any distributions made by the Fund.&#160;
Also, because the Subscription Price per Share may be less than the then
current NAV per Share, the completion of the Offer may result in an immediate
dilution of the net asset value per Share for all existing shareholders. Such
dilution could be substantial. If such dilution occurs, shareholders will
experience a decrease in the net asset value per Share held by them,
irrespective of whether they exercise all or any portion of their Rights. The
Fund cannot state precisely the extent of this dilution because the Fund does
not know what the NAV will be when the Offer expires, how many Rights will be
exercised or the exact expenses of the Offer.</font></p>

are lower yielding than those in which it is currently invested.&#160; In addition, even if the market for high
yield debt securities continues to present attractive investment opportunities,
there is no assurance that the Fund will be able to invest the proceeds of the

</font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Beginning in 2007, the fixed income markets experienced a period of
extreme volatility, which has negatively impacted market liquidity conditions.
Fixed income instruments have experienced liquidity issues, increased price
volatility, credit downgrades and increased likelihood of default, although
markets stabilized and, in some cases, rallied in 2009. Securities that are
less liquid are more difficult to value and may be hard to dispose of. Domestic
and international equity markets have also been experiencing heightened
volatility and turmoil, with issuers that have exposure to the real estate,
mortgage and credit markets particularly affected. During times of market
turmoil, investors tend to look to the safety of securities issued or backed by
the U.S. Treasury, causing the prices of these securities to rise and the yield
to decline. Although markets have improved since 2008, the events of 2007 and
2008 and any continuing market upheavals may have an adverse effect on the
Fund.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Lower
Grade Securities Risk</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Lower
grade securities are regarded as being predominantly speculative as to the
issuer&#146;s ability to make payments of principal and interest. Investment in such
securities involves substantial risk. Lower grade securities are commonly referred
to as &#147;junk bonds.&#148; Issuers of lower grade securities may be highly leveraged
and may not have available to them more traditional methods of financing.
Therefore, the risks associated with acquiring the securities of such issuers
generally are greater than is the case with higher-rated securities. For
example, during an economic downturn or a sustained period of rising interest
rates, issuers of lower grade securities may be more likely to experience
financial stress, especially if such issuers are highly leveraged. During
periods of economic downturn, such issuers may not have sufficient revenues to
meet their interest payment obligations. The issuer&#146;s ability to service its
debt obligations also may be adversely affected by specific issuer developments,
the issuer&#146;s inability to meet specific projected business forecasts or the
unavailability of additional financing. Therefore, there can be no assurance
that in the future there will not exist a higher default rate relative to the
rates currently existing in the market for lower grade securities. The risk of
loss due to default by the issuer is significantly greater for the holders of
lower grade securities because such securities may be unsecured and may be
subordinate to other creditors of the issuer. Other than with respect to
Distressed Securities, discussed below, the lower grade securities in which the
Fund may invest do not include instruments which, at the time of investment,
are in default or the issuers of which are in bankruptcy. However, there can be
no assurance that such events will not occur after the Fund purchases a
particular security, in which case the Fund may experience losses and incur
costs.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Lower
grade securities frequently have call or redemption features that would permit
an issuer to repurchase the security from the Fund. If a call were exercised by
the issuer during a period of declining interest rates, the Fund is likely to
have to replace such called security with a lower yielding security, thus
decreasing the net investment income to the Fund and dividends to shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Lower
grade securities have been in the past, and may again in the future be, more
volatile than higher-rated fixed-income securities, so that adverse economic
events may have a greater impact on the prices of lower grade securities than
on higher-rated fixed income securities.&#160;
Factors adversely affecting the market value of such securities are
likely to affect adversely the Fund&#146;s net asset value. Recently, demand for
lower grade securities has increased significantly and the difference between
the yields paid by lower grade securities and investment grade bonds (i.e., the
&#147;spread&#148;) has narrowed. To the extent this differential increases, the value of
lower grade securities in the Fund&#146;s portfolio could be adversely affected.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Like
higher-rated fixed-income securities, lower grade securities generally are
purchased and sold through dealers who make a market in such securities for
their own accounts. However, there are fewer dealers in the lower grade securities
market, which market may be less liquid than the market for higher-rated
fixed-income securities, even under normal economic conditions. Also, there may
be significant disparities in the prices quoted for lower grade securities by
various dealers. As a result, during periods of high demand in the lower grade
securities market, it may be difficult to acquire lower grade securities
appropriate for investment by the Fund. Adverse economic conditions and
investor perceptions thereof (whether or not based on economic reality) may
impair liquidity in the lower grade securities market and may cause the prices
the Fund receives for its lower grade securities to be reduced. In addition,
the Fund may experience difficulty in liquidating a portion of its portfolio
when necessary to meet the Fund&#146;s liquidity needs or in response to a specific
economic event such as deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuers.
Under such conditions, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of
the Fund&#146;s portfolio instruments than in the case of instruments trading in a
more liquid market. In addition, the Fund </font></p>

Distressed Securities is speculative and involves significant risk. Distressed
Securities frequently do not produce income while they are outstanding and may
require the Fund to bear certain extraordinary expenses in order to protect and
recover its investment. Therefore, to the extent the Fund pursues its secondary
objective of capital appreciation through investment in Distressed Securities,
the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve current income for shareholders may be
diminished. The Fund also will be subject to significant uncertainty as to when
and in what manner and for what value the obligations evidenced by the
Distressed Securities will eventually be satisfied (e.g., through a liquidation
of the obligor&#146;s assets, an exchange offer or plan of reorganization involving
the Distressed Securities or a payment of some amount in satisfaction of the
obligation). In addition, even if an exchange offer is made or plan of
reorganization is adopted with respect to Distressed Securities held by the
Fund, there can be no assurance that the securities or other assets received by
the Fund in connection with such exchange offer or plan of reorganization will
not have a lower value or income potential than may have been anticipated when
the investment was made. Moreover, any securities received by the Fund upon
completion of an exchange offer or plan of reorganization may be restricted as
to resale. As a result of the Fund&#146;s participation in negotiations with respect
to any exchange offer or plan of reorganization with respect to an issuer of
Distressed Securities, the Fund may be restricted from disposing of such
securities.</font></p>

securities held by the Fund and, as a result, may adversely affect those
securities&#146; perceived or actual credit risk.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Credit
risk is the risk that one or more of the Fund&#146;s investments in debt securities
or other instruments will decline in price, or fail to pay interest,
liquidation value or principal when due, because the issuer of the obligation
or the issuer of a reference security experiences an actual or perceived
decline in its financial status. In addition to the credit risks associated
with high yield securities, the Fund could also lose money if the issuer of
other debt obligations, or the counterparty to a derivatives contract,
repurchase agreement, loan of portfolio securities or other obligation, is, or
is perceived to be, unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest
payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. The downgrade of a security
may further decrease its value.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Generally, when market
interest rates rise, the prices of debt obligations fall, and vice versa.
Interest rate risk is the risk that debt obligations and other instruments in
the Fund&#146;s portfolio will decline in value because of increases in market
interest rates. This risk may be particularly acute because market interest
rates are currently at historically low levels. The prices of long-term debt
obligations generally fluctuate more than prices of short-term debt obligations
as interest rates change. During periods of rising interest rates, the average
life of certain types of securities may be extended due to slower than expected
payments. This may lock in a below market yield, increase the security&#146;s
duration and reduce the security&#146;s value. The Fund&#146;s use of leverage will tend
to increase interest rate risk.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Investments
in floating rate debt instruments, although generally less sensitive to
interest rate changes than longer duration fixed rate instruments, may
nevertheless decline in value in response to rising interest rates if, for
example, the rates at which they pay interest do not rise as much, or as
quickly, as market interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate
instruments will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline.
Inverse floating rate debt securities may also exhibit greater price volatility
than a fixed rate debt obligation with similar credit quality. To the extent
the Fund holds floating rate instruments, a decrease (or, in the case of
inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will
adversely affect the income received from such securities and the net asset
value of the Fund&#146;s common shares.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Therefore, if the market
value of the Fund&#146;s investment portfolio declines, any leverage will result in
a greater decrease in net asset value to common shareholders than if the Fund
were not leveraged. Such greater net asset value decrease will also tend to
cause a greater decline in the market price for the common shares. Further, if
at any time while the Fund has leverage outstanding it does not meet applicable
asset coverage requirements (as discussed below), it may be required to suspend
distributions to common shareholders until the requisite asset coverage is
restored. Any such suspension might impair the ability of the Fund to meet the
RIC distribution requirements and to avoid Fund-level U.S. federal income
and/or excise taxes.</font></p>

currently leverages through borrowings from a credit facility. The Fund has
entered into a Credit Agreement with State Street to borrow up to the least of:
(a)&nbsp;$75,000,000; (b)&nbsp;an amount that is no greater than 30% of the
Fund&#146;s total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than aggregate
indebtedness constituting leverage); and (c)&nbsp;the Borrowing Base as defined
in the Credit Agreement.&#160; Such borrowings
constitute financial leverage. The Credit Agreement contains customary
covenant, negative covenant and default provisions, including covenants that limit
the Fund&#146;s ability to incur additional debt or consolidate or merge into or
with any person, other than as permitted, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer,
directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of its assets. In addition,
the Fund agreed not to purchase assets not contemplated by the investment
policies and restrictions in effect when the Credit Agreement became effective.
Furthermore, the Fund may not incur additional debt from any other party,
except for in limited circumstances (<i>e.g.</i>,
in the ordinary course of business). Such restrictions shall apply only so long
as the Credit Agreement remains in effect.</font></p>

Outstanding amounts would be payable at maturity or such earlier times as
required by the Credit Agreement. The Fund may be required to prepay
outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement in the event of the occurrence
of certain events of default. The Fund is expected to indemnify the lenders
under the Credit Agreement against certain liabilities they may incur in
connection with the Credit Agreement. The Fund is required to pay commitment
fees under the terms of the Credit Agreement. With the use of borrowings, there
is a risk that the interest rates paid by the Fund on the amount it borrows
will be higher than the return on the Fund&#146;s investments. The credit facility
with State Street may in the future be replaced or refinanced by one or more
credit facilities having substantially different terms, or the Fund may be unable
to renew or replace its credit facility upon the termination of the current
facility, possibly requiring it to sell portfolio securities at times or prices
that are disadvantageous. Any of these situations could adversely impact income
or total return to shareholders.</font></p>

in securities of foreign entities and securities denominated in foreign
currencies involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments,
including, but not limited to, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, future
foreign political and economic developments, different legal and accounting
systems and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign
governmental laws or restrictions. Securities prices in different countries are
subject to different economic, financial, political and social factors.</font></p>

securities markets generally are not as developed or efficient as those in the
United States. Securities of some foreign issuers are less liquid and more
volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Similarly, volume and
liquidity in most foreign securities markets are less than in the United States
and, at times, volatility of price can be greater than in the United States.</font></p>

countries have economic structures that are generally less diverse and mature,
and political systems that are less stable, than those of developed countries.
The markets of developing countries may be more volatile than the markets of
more mature economies; however, such markets may provide higher rates of return
to investors. Many developing countries providing investment opportunities for
the Fund have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high,
rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in
inflation rates have had and may continue to have adverse effects on the
economies and securities markets of certain of these countries.</font></p>

the Fund may invest in securities denominated or quoted in currencies other
than the U.S. dollar, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may affect the
value of securities in the Fund and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation
of investments.&#160; Currencies of certain
countries may be volatile and therefore may affect the value of securities
denominated in such currencies. The Fund may, but is not obligated to, engage
in certain transactions to hedge the currency-related risks of investing in
non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. In addition, with respect to certain
foreign countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets,
confiscatory taxation, difficulty in obtaining or enforcing a court judgment,
economic, political or social instability or diplomatic developments that could
affect investments in those countries. Moreover, individual foreign economies
may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as
growth of gross domestic product, capital reinvestment, resources,
self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. Certain foreign investments
also may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. These risks often are
heightened for investments in smaller, emerging capital markets.</font></p>

a result of these potential risks, Credit Suisse may determine that,
notwithstanding otherwise favorable investment criteria, it may not be
practicable or appropriate to invest in a particular country. The Fund may
invest in countries in which foreign investors, including Credit Suisse, have
had no or limited prior experience.</font></p>

Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the
derivative contracts purchased or sold by the Fund. Recently, several
broker-dealers and other financial institutions have experienced extreme
financial difficulty, sometimes resulting in bankruptcy of the institution.
Although the Investment Adviser monitors the creditworthiness of the Fund&#146;s
counterparties, there can be no assurance that the Fund&#146;s counterparties will
not experience similar difficulties, possibly resulting in losses to the Fund.
If a counterparty becomes bankrupt, or otherwise fails to perform its
obligations under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, the Fund
may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the
derivative contract in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The
Fund may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such
circumstances.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund may invest in securities for which no readily available market exists or
are otherwise considered illiquid. The Fund may not be able readily to dispose
of such securities at prices that approximate those at which the Fund could
sell such securities if they were more widely traded and, as a result of such
illiquidity, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing
transactions if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.</font></p>

interest rates fall, the principal on bonds and loans held by the Fund may be
paid earlier than expected. If this happens, the proceeds from a prepaid

to shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Preferred
stocks are unique securities that combine some of the characteristics of both
common stocks and bonds. Preferred stocks generally pay a fixed rate of return
and are sold on the basis of current yield, like bonds. However, because they
are equity securities, preferred stocks provide equity ownership of a company,
and the income is paid in the form of dividends. Preferred stocks typically
have a yield advantage over common stocks as well as comparably-rated
fixed-income investments. Preferred stocks are typically subordinated to bonds
and other debt instruments in a company&#146;s capital structure, in terms of
priority to corporate income, and therefore will be subject to greater credit
risk than those debt instruments. Unlike interest payments on debt securities,
preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer&#146;s board of
directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory
redemption provisions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
risks associated with Senior Loans of below investment grade quality are
similar to the risks of bonds rated below investment grade, although Senior
Loans are typically senior and secured in contrast to bonds rated below
investment grade, which are generally subordinated and unsecured.&#160; Senior Loans&#146; higher standing has
historically resulted in generally higher recoveries in the event of a
corporate reorganization.&#160; In addition,
because their interest payments are adjusted for changes in short-term interest
rates, investments in Senior Loans generally have less interest rate risk than
below-investment-grade rated bonds.&#160; The
Fund&#146;s investments in Senior Loans are expected to typically be below
investment grade, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk
of their issuers.&#160; Such companies are
more likely to default on their payments of interest and principal owed to the
Fund, and such defaults could reduce the Fund&#146;s net asset value and income
distributions.&#160; An economic downturn
generally leads to a higher non-payment rate, and a debt obligation may lose
significant value before a default occurs.&#160;
Moreover, any specific collateral used to secure a Loan may decline in
value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the Loan&#146;s value.</font></p>

liquidation of any collateral securing a Loan would satisfy the borrower&#146;s
obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal
payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated.&#160; In the event of bankruptcy of a borrower, the
Fund could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to
realize the benefits of the collateral securing a Senior Loan.&#160; The collateral securing a Senior Loan may
lose all or substantially all of its value in the event of bankruptcy of a
borrower.&#160; Some Senior Loans are subject
to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar
laws, could subordinate such Senior Loans to presently existing or future
indebtedness of the borrower or take other action detrimental to the holders of
Senior Loans including, in certain circumstances, invalidating such Senior
Loans or causing interest previously paid to be refunded to the borrower.&#160; If interest were required to be refunded, it
could negatively affect the Fund&#146;s performance.</font></p>

Fund may purchase and retain in its portfolio Senior Loans where the borrowers
have experienced, or may be perceived to be likely to experience, credit
problems, including default, involvement in or recent emergence from bankruptcy
reorganization proceedings or other forms of debt restructuring. At times, in
connection with the restructuring of a Senior Loan either outside of bankruptcy
court or in the context of bankruptcy court proceedings, the Fund may determine
or be required to accept equity securities or junior debt securities in
exchange for all or a portion of a Senior Loan.</font></p>

Loans in which the Fund will invest may not be rated by a nationally recognized
statistical ratings organization (&#147;NRSRO&#148;), may not be registered with the SEC
or any state securities commission, and may not be listed on any national
securities exchange.&#160; The amount of
public information available with respect to Senior Loans may be less extensive
than available for registered or exchange-listed securities. In evaluating the
creditworthiness of borrowers, Credit Suisse will consider, and may rely in
part, on analyses performed by others.</font></p>

may have outstanding debt obligations that are rated below investment grade by
a NRSRO.&#160; Most of the Senior Loans held
by the Fund will have been assigned ratings below investment grade by a
NRSRO.&#160; In the event Senior Loans are not
rated, they are likely to be the equivalent of below investment grade
quality.&#160; The Fund will rely on the
judgment, analysis and experience of Credit Suisse in evaluating the
creditworthiness of a borrower.&#160; In this
evaluation, Credit Suisse will take into consideration, among other things, the
borrower&#146;s financial resources, its sensitivity to economic conditions and
trends, its operating history, the quality of the borrower&#146;s management and
regulatory matters.</font></p>

active trading market may exist for some Senior Loans and some Senior Loans may
be subject to restrictions on resale.&#160;
Secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide
bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the
ability to realize full value and thus cause a decline in the Fund&#146;s net asset
value.&#160; During periods of limited demand
and liquidity for Senior Loans, the Fund&#146;s net asset value may be adversely
affected.</font></p>

changes in prevailing interest rates can be expected to cause some fluctuations
in the value of Senior Loans (due to the fact that floating rates on Senior
Loans only reset periodically), the value of Senior Loans tends to be
substantially less sensitive to changes in market interest rates than
fixed-rate instruments.&#160; Nevertheless, a
sudden and significant increase in market interest rates may cause a decline in
the value of these investments and an associated decline in the Fund&#146;s net
asset value.</font></p>

factors (including, but not limited to, rating downgrades, credit
deterioration, a large downward movement in stock prices, a disparity in supply
and demand of certain investments or market conditions that reduce liquidity)

Fund may purchase Senior Loans by assignment from a participant in the original
syndicate of lenders or from subsequent assignees of such interests, or can buy
a participation in a loan.&#160; The Fund may
also purchase participations in the original syndicate making Senior
Loans.&#160; Loan participations typically
represent indirect participations in a loan to a corporate borrower, and
generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending
syndicates.&#160; When purchasing loan&#160; participations, the Fund assumes the credit
risk associated with the corporate borrower and may assume the credit risk
associated with an interposed bank or other financial intermediary.&#160; The Fund will acquire participations only if

and other debt instruments are also subject to the risk of price declines due
to increases in prevailing interest rates, although floating-rate debt
instruments are less exposed to this risk than fixed-rate debt instruments.&#160; Interest rate changes may also increase
prepayments of debt obligations and require the Fund to invest assets at lower
yields.&#160; No active trading market may
exist for certain Loans, which may impair the ability of the Fund to realize
full value in the event of the need to liquidate such assets.</font></p>

Lien And Other Secured Loans Risk</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Second
Lien Loans and other secured Loans are subject to the same risks associated
with investment in Senior Loans and bonds rated below investment grade.
However, because Second Lien Loans are second in right of payment to one or
more Senior Loans of the related borrower, and other secured Loans rank lower
in right of payment to Second Lien Loans, they are subject to the additional
risk that the cash flow of the borrower and any property securing the Loan may
be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the more
senior secured obligations of the borrower.&#160;
This risk is generally higher for subordinated unsecured loans or debt,
which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral.&#160; Second Lien Loans and other secured Loans are
also expected to have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be
less liquid.&#160; There is also a possibility
that originators will not be able to sell participations in Second Lien Loans
and other secured Loans, which would create greater credit risk exposure.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Unlike
publicly traded common stock which trades on national exchanges, there is no
central place or exchange for bond trading. Bonds generally trade on an
&#147;over-the-counter&#148; market which may be anywhere in the world where buyer and
seller can settle on a price. Due to the lack of centralized information and
trading, the valuation of bonds may carry more risk than that of common stock.
Uncertainties in the conditions of the financial market, unreliable reference
data, lack of transparency and inconsistency of valuation models and processes
may lead to inaccurate asset pricing. As a result, the Fund may be subject to
the risk that when a security is sold in the market, the amount received by the
Fund is less than the value of such security carried on the Fund&#146;s books.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund is classified as a &#147;non-diversified&#148; management investment company under
the 1940 Act, which means that the Fund may invest a greater portion of its
assets in a limited number of issuers than would be the case if the Fund were
classified as a &#147;diversified&#148; management investment company. Accordingly, the
Fund may be subject to greater risk with respect to its portfolio securities
than a management investment company that is &#147;diversified&#148; because changes in
the financial condition or market assessment of a single issuer may cause greater
fluctuations in the net asset value of the Shares.</font></p>

with any stock, the price of the Fund&#146;s Shares fluctuate with market conditions
and other factors. Although the Shares have recently traded on the NYSE Amex at
a premium to their net asset value, the Shares have in the past traded at a

or that the present premium is sustainable. &#160;Since 2005, the Shares have traded at

risk that the Fund&#146;s net asset value could decrease as a result of its

The net asset value of the Shares will be reduced immediately following this

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under the Fund&#146;s Investment
Advisory Agreement with Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse receives as compensation
for its advisory services from the Fund an annual fee, payable monthly,
calculated at an annual rate of: (i)&nbsp;1.00% of the first $250 million of
the average weekly value of the Fund&#146;s total assets minus the sum of
liabilities (other than aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage) (the
&#147;Managed Assets&#148;); and (ii)&nbsp;0.75% of the average weekly value of the
Managed Assets greater than $250 million. Credit Suisse may voluntarily waive a
portion of its fees from time to time and temporarily limit the expenses to be
borne by the Fund. Effective January&nbsp;1, 2007, Credit Suisse agreed to
waive 0.15% of the fees payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. During
the period in which the Fund is utilizing leverage, the advisory fee payable to
Credit Suisse will be higher than if the Fund did not utilize a leveraged
capital structure because the fees are calculated as a percentage of the
Managed Assets, including those purchased with leverage. The Fund is currently
utilizing leverage.</font></p>

Investment Adviser receives a fee based on assets, it will benefit from the
increase in assets that will result from the Offer. It is not possible to state
precisely the amount of additional compensation that the Investment Adviser
might receive as a result of the Offer because it is not known how many Shares
will be subscribed for and because the proceeds of the Offer will be invested
in additional portfolio securities, which will fluctuate in value. However,
assuming (i)&nbsp;all Rights are exercised, (ii)&nbsp;the Fund&#146;s average weekly
net asset value during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2011 is $2.88 per
Share (the net asset value per Share on September 9, 2010), (iii)&nbsp;the
Subscription Price is $2.83 per Share 92.5% of the last reported sale price of
the Fund&#146;s Shares on September 9, 2010), and (iv)&nbsp;assuming, for purposes
of this example, the Fund increases the amount of leverage outstanding while
maintaining approximately the same percentage of total assets attributable to
leverage (after giving effect to offering expenses), the Investment Adviser
would receive additional advisory fees of approximately $512,000 for the fiscal
year 2011 and would continue to receive additional advisory fees as a result of
the Offer, based on the Fund&#146;s average weekly Managed Assets attributable to
the Shares issued in the Offer, thereafter.</font></p>

valued after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, LLC (the &#147;NYSE&#148;) on the last
business day of each week.&#160; For
purposes of determining the net asset value, the value of the securities held

the total number of Shares outstanding at such time. The Fund determines and
makes available for publication the net asset value of its Shares daily.</font></p>

an over-the-counter market will be valued at the closing price on the exchange
or market on which the security is primarily traded (the &#147;Primary Market&#148;) at
the time of valuation (the &#147;Valuation Time&#148;).&#160;
If the security did not trade on the Primary Market, the security will
be valued at the closing price on another exchange where it trades at the
Valuation Time.&#160; If there are no such
sales prices, the security will be valued at the most recent bid quotation as
of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short
sale of securities.&#160; Debt securities with
a remaining maturity greater than 60 days shall be valued in accordance with
the price supplied by an independent pricing service approved by the Board
(&#147;Pricing Service&#148;).&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If there are no such quotations, the security will

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Prices for debt securities supplied by a Pricing
Service may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into
consideration market indexes, matrices, yield curves or other specific
adjustments.&#160; The procedures of Pricing
Services are reviewed periodically by the officers of the Fund under the
general supervision and responsibility of the Board, which may replace a
Pricing Service at any time.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If a Pricing Service is not able to supply closing
prices and bid/asked quotations for an equity security or a price for a debt
security, and there are two or more dealers, brokers or market makers in the
security, the security will be valued at the mean between the highest bid and
the lowest asked quotations from at least two dealers, brokers or market
makers.&#160; If such dealers, brokers or
market makers only provide bid quotations, the value shall be the mean between
the highest and the lowest bid quotations provided.&#160; If a Pricing Service is not able to supply
closing prices and bid/asked quotations for an equity security or a price for a
debt security, and there is only one dealer, broker or market maker in the
security, the security will be valued at the mean between the bid and the asked
quotations provided, unless the dealer, broker or market maker can only provide
a bid quotation, in which case the security will be valued at such bid
quotation.&#160; Options contracts will be
valued similarly.&#160; Futures contracts will
be valued at the most recent settlement price as provided by a Pricing Service
at the time of valuation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or
less are valued at amortized cost, which constitutes fair value as determined
by or under the direction of the Board of the Fund.&#160; Amortized cost involves valuing a portfolio
instrument at its initial cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization
to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating
interest rates on the market value of the instrument.&#160; The amortized cost method of valuation may
also be used with respect to other debt obligations with 60 days or less
remaining to maturity.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Swap contracts are generally valued at a price at
which the counterparty to such contract would repurchase the instrument or
terminate the contract.</font></p>

be valued at the closing prices, which may not be the last sale price, on the
Primary Market (at the Valuation Time with respect to the Fund).&#160; If the security did not trade on the Primary
Market, it will be valued at the closing price of the local shares (at the
Valuation Time with respect to the Fund).&#160;
If there is no such closing price, the value will be the most recent bid
quotation of the local shares (at the Valuation Time with respect to the Fund).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Securities, options, futures contracts and other
assets (including swap contracts) which cannot be valued pursuant to the
foregoing will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or
under the direction of the Board of the Fund.&#160;
In addition, the Board of the Fund or its delegates may value a security
at fair value if it determines that such security&#146;s value determined by the
methodology set forth above does not reflect its fair value.&#160; If the value of a security has been
materially affected by events occurring after the relevant market closes, but
before the Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund may price those securities
at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures
approved by the Board.&#160; </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">When fair value
pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its
net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same
securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Trading in securities in certain foreign countries
is completed at various times prior to the close of business on each business
day in New York (<i>i.e.</i>, a day on which the NYSE is
open for trading).&#160; In addition,
securities trading in a particular country or countries may not take place on
all business days in New York.&#160;
Furthermore, trading takes place in various foreign markets on days that
are not business days in New York and days on which the Fund&#146;s net asset value
is not calculated.&#160; As a result,
calculation of the Fund&#146;s net asset value may not take place contemporaneously
with the determination of the prices of certain foreign portfolio securities
used in such calculation.&#160; All assets and
liabilities initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted
into U.S. dollar values at the prevailing rate as quoted by a Pricing Service
at the close of the London Stock Exchange.&#160;
If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange will be
determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund declares and pays
dividends on a monthly basis. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if
any, are declared and paid at least annually. The Fund&#146;s dividend policy is to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income to its shareholders
on a monthly basis. However, in order to provide shareholders with a more
consistent yield to the current trading price of shares of beneficial interest
of the Fund, the Fund may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net
investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any month
pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment
income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid by the Fund for
any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment
income earned by the Fund during such month.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant
to the Fund&#146;s automatic dividend reinvestment plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;), unless a
shareholder otherwise elects, all dividends and capital gain distributions will
be automatically reinvested by Computershare as agent for shareholders in
administering the Plan (the &#147;Plan Agent&#148;), in additional Shares of the Fund.
Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all
dividends and other distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the
shareholder of record (or, if the Shares are held in street or other nominee
name, then to such nominee) by Computershare as the Dividend-Paying Agent. Such
participants may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all
dividends and capital gain distributions in cash by sending written
instructions to Computershare, as the Dividend-Paying Agent, at the address set
forth below. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be
terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by written notice if received
by the Plan Agent not less than ten days prior to any dividend record date; otherwise
such termination will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared
dividend or other distribution.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Whenever
the Fund declares an income dividend or a capital gain distribution
(collectively referred to as &#147;dividends&#148;) payable either in Shares or in cash,
non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan
will receive the equivalent in Shares. The Shares will be acquired by the Plan
Agent for the participants&#146; accounts, depending upon the circumstances
described below, either (i)&nbsp;through receipt of additional unissued but
authorized Shares from the Fund (&#147;newly issued Shares&#148;) or (ii)&nbsp;by
purchase of outstanding Shares on the open market (&#147;open-market purchases&#148;) on
the NYSE Amex or elsewhere. If on the payment date for the dividend, the net
asset value per Share is equal to or less than the market price per Share plus
estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as
&#147;market premium&#148;), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued
Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued Shares to be
credited to each participant&#146;s account will be determined by dividing the
dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per Share on the date the
Shares are issued. If on the dividend payment date the net asset value per
Share is greater than the market value (such condition being referred to herein
as &#147;market discount&#148;), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in Shares
acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
the event of a market discount on the dividend payment date, the Plan Agent
will have until the last business day before the next date on which the Shares
trade on an &#147;ex-dividend&#148; basis or in no event more than 30 days after the
dividend payment date (the &#147;last purchase date&#148;) to invest the dividend amount
in Shares acquired in open-market purchases. It is contemplated that the Fund
will pay monthly income dividends. Therefore, the period during which
open-market purchases can be made will exist only from the payment date of the
dividend through the date before the next &#147;ex-dividend&#148; date which typically
will be approximately ten days. If, before the Plan Agent has completed its
open-market purchases, the market price of a Share exceeds the net asset value
per Share, the average per Share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may
exceed the net asset value of the Shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer
Shares than if the dividend had been paid in newly issued Shares on the dividend
record date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to open market
purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the
full dividend amount in open market purchases during the purchase period or if
the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the
Plan Agent may cease making open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested
portion of the dividend amount in newly issued Shares at the net asset value
per Share at the close of business on the last purchase date.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Plan Agent maintains all shareholders&#146; accounts in the Plan and furnishes
written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information
needed by shareholders for tax records. Shares in the account of each Plan
participant will be held by the Plan Agent on behalf of the Plan participant,
and each shareholder proxy will include those Shares purchased or received
pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Agent will forward all proxy solicitation
materials to participants and vote proxies for Shares held pursuant to the Plan
in accordance with the instructions of the participants.</font></p>

the case of shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees that hold Shares

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">There
will be no brokerage charges with respect to Shares issued directly by the Fund
as a result of dividends or capital gains distributions payable either in
Shares or in cash. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of
brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent&#146;s open-market
purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any
Federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be
withheld) on such dividends. See &#147;Taxation.&#148; Shareholders participating in the
Plan may receive benefits not available to Shareholders not participating in
the Plan. If the market price (plus commissions) of the Shares is above their
net asset value, participants in the Plan will receive Shares of the Fund at
less than they could otherwise purchase them and will have Shares with a cash
value greater than the value of any cash distribution they would have received
on their Shares. If the market price plus commissions is below the net asset
value, participants will receive distributions in Shares with a net asset value
greater than the value of any cash distribution they would have received on
their Shares. However, there may be insufficient Shares available in the market
to make distributions in Shares at prices below the net asset value. Also,
since the Fund does not redeem Shares, the price on resale may be more or less
than the net asset value.</font></p>

under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund
reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service

least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from dividends, interest,
payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale or other
disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income
(including gains from options, futures, and forward contracts) derived with
respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies,
and net income derived from an interest in a qualified publicly traded
partnership (as defined in Section&nbsp;851(h)&nbsp;of the Code) (the &#147;90%
income test&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each
quarter of each taxable year: (a)&nbsp;at least 50% of the value of the Fund&#146;s
total assets is represented by (1)&nbsp;cash and cash items, U.S. government
securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and (2)&nbsp;other
securities, with such other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer,
to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund&#146;s total assets and to
not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer and (b)&nbsp;not
more than 25% of the value of the Fund&#146;s total assets is invested in (1)&nbsp;the
securities (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other
regulated investment companies) of any one issuer, (2)&nbsp;the securities
(other than securities of other regulated investment companies) of two or more
issuers that the Fund controls and that are engaged in the same, similar, or
related trades or businesses, or (3)&nbsp;the securities of one or more
qualified publicly traded partnerships.</font></p>

in general the passive loss rules&nbsp;of the Code do not apply to regulated
investment companies, such rules&nbsp;do apply to a regulated investment
company with respect to items attributable to an interest in a qualified

the Fund, including &#147;net capital gain&#148; (the excess of net long-term capital
gain over net short-term capital loss), distributed to shareholders. However,
if the Fund meets such distribution requirements, but chooses to retain some
portion of its taxable income or gains, it generally will be subject to U.S.
federal income tax at regular corporate rates on the amount retained. The Fund
may designate certain amounts retained as undistributed net capital gain in a
notice to its shareholders, who (i)&nbsp;will be required to include in income
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as long-term capital gain, their
proportionate shares of the undistributed amount so designated, (ii)&nbsp;will
be entitled to credit their proportionate shares of the income tax paid by the
Fund on that undistributed amount against their federal income tax liabilities
and to claim refunds to the extent such credits exceed their liabilities and
(iii)&nbsp;will be entitled to increase their tax basis, for federal income tax
purposes, in their shares by an amount equal to the excess of the amount of
undistributed net capital gain included in their respective income over their
respective income tax credits. The Fund intends to distribute at least annually
all or substantially all of its investment company taxable income (computed
without regard to the dividends-paid deduction), net tax-exempt interest
income, and net capital gain.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If,
for any taxable year, the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment
company or does not satisfy the 90% distribution requirement, it will be
treated as a U.S. corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax, thereby
subjecting any income earned by the Fund to tax at the corporate level and to a
further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Code imposes a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the Fund to the extent it does
not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i)&nbsp;98%
of its taxable ordinary income for that year and (ii)&nbsp;98% of its capital
gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending,
as a general rule, on October&nbsp;31 of that year.&#160; For this purpose, however, any ordinary
income or capital gain net income retained by the Fund that is subject to
corporate income tax will be considered to have been distributed by
year-end.&#160; In addition, the minimum
amounts that must be distributed in any year to avoid the excise tax will be
increased or decreased to reflect any underdistribution or overdistribution, as
the case may be, from the previous year.&#160;
The Fund anticipates that it will pay such dividends and will make such
distributions as are necessary in order to avoid the application of this excise
tax.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
IRS has taken the position that if a regulated investment company has two or
more classes of shares, it must designate distributions made to each class in
any year as consisting of no more than such class&#146;s proportionate share of
particular types of income, including tax-exempt interest, net capital gains,
and other income subject to federal income tax. A class&#146;s proportionate share
of a particular type of income is determined according to the percentage of
total dividends paid by the regulated investment company to such class.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Existing
authorities do not specifically address whether dividends that are paid
following the close of a taxable year, but that are treated for tax purposes as
derived from the income of such prior taxable year, are treated as dividends
paid during such prior taxable year for purposes of determining each class&#146;s
proportionate share of a particular type of income. The Fund currently intends
to treat such dividends as having been paid in the prior taxable year for
purposes of determining each class&#146;s proportionate share of a particular type
of income with respect to such prior taxable year. Existing authorities also do
not specifically address the allocation of taxable income among the dividends
paid to holders of a class of shares during or with respect to a taxable year.
It is possible that the IRS could disagree with the Fund&#146;s position concerning
the treatment of dividends paid after the close of a taxable year, in which
case the IRS could attempt to recharacterize a portion of the dividends paid
and designated by the Fund as exempt-interest dividends as consisting instead of
capital gains or other taxable income. If the IRS were to prevail with respect
to any such attempted recharacterization, holders of that class of shares could
be subject to tax on amounts so recharacterized and the Fund could be subject
to federal income and excise tax.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund declares a dividend from net investment income (excluding capital gains)
each month. Dividends are normally paid on the last business day of the month
or shortly thereafter. The Fund distributes any net short-term and long-term capital
gains in November. Dividends from income and/or capital gains may also be paid
at such other times as may be necessary for the Fund to avoid U.S. federal
income or excise tax.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Unless
a shareholder specifies otherwise, all distributions from the Fund to that
shareholder will be automatically reinvested in additional full and fractional
shares of the Fund. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, all dividends from
the Fund generally are taxable whether a shareholder takes them in cash or
reinvests them in additional shares of the Fund. In general, assuming that the
Fund has sufficient earnings and profits, dividends from net investment income
and from net short-term capital gains are taxable as ordinary income.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Recently
enacted legislation imposes a 3.8% excise tax on net investment income,
including dividends, interest and net capital gains, of individuals with annual
income of $200,000 or more ($250,000 if married, filing jointly) beginning in
2013.</font></p>

by the Fund in excess of the Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and
profits will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of (and in
reduction of) the shareholder&#146;s tax basis in its shares and any such amount in
excess of that basis will be treated as gain from the sale of shares, as
discussed below.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Distributions
from net capital gains, if any, that are designated as capital gain dividends
by the Fund are taxable as long-term capital gains for U.S. federal income tax
purposes without regard to the length of time the shareholder has held shares
of the Fund. Capital gain dividends distributed by the Fund to individual and
certain other noncorporate shareholders generally will qualify for reduced U.S.
federal income tax rates (currently, a maximum rate of 15%, with lower rates
applying to taxpayers in the 10% and 15% rate brackets) on long-term capital
gains, subject to certain limited exceptions. A shareholder should also be
aware that the benefits of the favorable tax rate applicable to long-term
capital gains and qualified dividend income may be affected by the application
of the alternative minimum tax to individual shareholders. Under current law,
the reduced maximum 15% U.S. federal income tax rate on qualified dividend income
and long-term capital gains will not apply in taxable years beginning after
December&nbsp;31, 2010.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
U.S. federal income tax status of all distributions will be reported to

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Although
dividends generally will be treated as distributed when paid, any dividend
declared by the Fund in October, November&nbsp;or December&nbsp;and payable to
shareholders of record in such a month that is paid during the following
January&nbsp;will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as received
by shareholders on December&nbsp;31 of the calendar year in which it was
declared. In addition, certain other distributions made after the close of a
taxable year of the Fund may be &#147;spilled back&#148; and treated for certain purposes
as paid by the Fund during such taxable year. In such case, shareholders
generally will be treated as having received such dividends in the taxable year
in which the distributions were actually made. For purposes of calculating the
amount of a regulated investment company&#146;s undistributed income and gain
subject to the 4% excise tax described above, such &#147;spilled back&#148; dividends are
treated as paid by the regulated investment company when they are actually
paid.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For
U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund is permitted to carry forward a net
capital loss for any year to offset its capital gains, if any, for up to eight
years following the year of the loss. To the extent subsequent capital gains
are offset by such losses, they would not result in U.S. federal income tax
liability to the Fund and may not be distributed as such to shareholders. The
Fund may not carry forward any losses other than net capital losses.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">At
the time of an investor&#146;s purchase of fund shares, a portion of the purchase
price may be attributable to realized or unrealized appreciation in the Fund&#146;s
portfolio or to undistributed capital gains of the Fund. Consequently,
subsequent distributions by the Fund with respect to these shares from such
appreciation or gains may be taxable to such investor even if the net asset
value of the investor&#146;s shares is, as a result of the distributions, reduced
below the investor&#146;s cost for such shares and the distributions economically
represent a return of a portion of the investment.</font></p>

and exchanges generally are taxable events for shareholders that are subject to
tax. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers with reference to their
individual circumstances to determine whether any particular transaction in
fund shares is properly treated as a sale for tax purposes, as the following discussion
assumes, and the tax treatment of any gains or losses recognized in such
transactions. In general, if fund shares are sold, the shareholder will
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on
the sale and the shareholder&#146;s adjusted basis in the shares. Such gain or loss
generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were
held for more than one year and otherwise generally will be treated as
short-term capital gain or loss.</font></p>

on sales or other dispositions of shares may be disallowed under &#147;wash sale&#148;
rules&nbsp;in the event of other investments in the Fund (including those made
pursuant to reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gain distributions) within
a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after a sale or
other disposition of shares. In such a case, the disallowed portion of any loss
generally would be included in the U.S. federal tax basis of the shares
acquired in the other investments.</font></p>

certain greater amounts over a combination of years), the shareholder must file
with the IRS a disclosure statement on Form&nbsp;8886. Shareholders who own
portfolio securities directly are in many cases excepted from this reporting
requirement but, under current guidance, shareholders of regulated investment
companies are not excepted. A shareholder who fails to make the required
disclosure to the IRS may be subject to substantial penalties. The fact that a
loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal
determination of whether or not the taxpayer&#146;s treatment of the loss is proper.
Shareholders should consult with their tax advisers to determine the
applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Shareholders
that are exempt from U.S. federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are
qualified under Section&nbsp;401 of the Code, generally are not subject to U.S.
federal income tax on otherwise-taxable fund dividends or distributions, or on
sales or exchanges of fund shares unless the Fund shares are &#147;debt-financed
property&#148; within the meaning of the Code. However, in the case of fund shares
held through a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, fund dividends and
distributions received by the plan and sales and exchanges of fund shares by
the plan generally are taxable to the employer sponsoring such plan in
accordance with the U.S. federal income tax laws that are generally applicable
to shareholders receiving such dividends or distributions from regulated
investment companies such as the Fund.</font></p>

plan participant whose retirement plan invests in the Fund, whether such plan
is qualified or not, generally is not taxed on any fund dividends or
distributions received by the plan or on sales or exchanges of fund shares by
the plan for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, distributions to plan
participants from a retirement plan account generally are taxable as ordinary
income, and different tax treatment, including penalties on certain excess
contributions and deferrals, certain pre-retirement and post-retirement
distributions and certain prohibited transactions, is accorded to accounts
maintained as qualified retirement plans. Shareholders should consult their tax
advisers for more information.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund may invest to a significant extent in debt obligations that are in the
lowest rating categories or that are unrated, including debt obligations of
issuers not currently paying interest or that are in default. Investments in
debt obligations that are at risk of or in default present special tax issues
for the Fund. Federal income tax rules&nbsp;are not entirely clear about issues
such as when the Fund may cease to accrue interest, original issue discount or
market discount, when and to what extent deductions may be taken for bad debts
or worthless securities, how payments received on obligations in default should
be allocated between principal and interest and whether certain exchanges of
debt obligations in a workout context are taxable. These and other issues will
be addressed by the Fund, in the event it invests in or holds such securities,
in order to seek to ensure that it distributes sufficient income to preserve
its status as a regulated investment company and does not become subject to
U.S. federal income or excise tax.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If
the Fund invests in certain pay-in-kind securities, zero coupon securities,
deferred interest securities or, in general, any other securities with original
issue discount (or with market discount if the Fund elects to include market
discount in income currently), the Fund generally must accrue income on such
investments for each taxable year, which generally will be prior to the receipt
of the corresponding cash payments. However, the Fund must distribute to its
shareholders, at least annually, all or substantially all of its investment
company taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for
dividends paid) and net tax-exempt income, including such accrued income, to
qualify to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Code and
avoid U.S. federal income and excise taxes. Therefore, the Fund may have to
dispose of its portfolio securities, potentially under disadvantageous
circumstances, to generate cash, or may have to borrow the cash, to satisfy
distribution requirements. Such a disposition of securities may potentially
result in additional taxable gain or loss to the Fund.</font></p>

written or purchased and futures contracts entered into by the Fund on certain
securities, indices and foreign currencies, as well as certain forward foreign
currency contracts, may cause the Fund to recognize gains or losses from
marking-to-market even though such options may not have lapsed or been closed
out or exercised, or such futures or forward contracts may not have been performed
or closed out. The tax rules&nbsp;applicable to these contracts may affect the
characterization of some capital gains and losses realized by the Fund as
long-term or short-term. Certain options, futures and forward contracts
relating to foreign currency may be subject to Section&nbsp;988 of the Code,
and accordingly may produce ordinary income or loss. Additionally, the Fund may
be required to recognize gain if an option, futures contract, forward contract,
short sale or other transaction that is not subject to the mark-to-market rules&nbsp;is

cash amounts, possibly requiring the disposition of portfolio securities or
borrowing to obtain the necessary cash. Such a disposition of securities may
potentially result in additional taxable gain or loss to the Fund. Losses on
certain options, futures or forward contracts and/or offsetting positions
(portfolio securities or other positions with respect to which the Fund&#146;s risk
of loss is substantially diminished by one or more options, futures or forward
contracts) may also be deferred under the tax straddle rules&nbsp;of the Code,
which may also affect the characterization of capital gains or losses from straddle
positions and certain successor positions as long-term or short-term. Certain
tax elections may be available that would enable the Fund to ameliorate some
adverse effects of the tax rules&nbsp;described in this paragraph. The tax
rules&nbsp;applicable to options, futures, forward contracts and straddles may
affect the amount, timing and character of the Fund&#146;s income and gains or
losses and hence of its distributions to shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a result of entering into
swap contracts, the Fund may make or receive periodic net payments.&#160; The Fund may also make or receive a payment
when a swap is terminated prior to maturity through an assignment of the swap
or other closing transaction.&#160; Periodic
net payments will generally constitute ordinary income or deductions, while
termination of a swap will generally result in capital gain or loss (which will
be a long-term capital gain or loss if the fund has been a party to the swap
for more than one year).&#160; With respect to
certain types of swaps, the Fund may be required to currently recognize income
or loss with respect to future payments on such swaps or may elect under
certain circumstances to mark such swaps to market annually for tax purposes as
ordinary income or loss.&#160; </font></p>

Fund may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign
countries, including taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains with
respect to its investments in those countries. Any such taxes would, if
imposed, reduce the yield on or return from those investments. Tax conventions
between certain countries and the U.S. may reduce or eliminate such taxes in
some cases. The Fund does not expect to satisfy the requirements for passing
through to its shareholders any share of foreign taxes paid by the Fund, with
the result that shareholders will not include such taxes in their gross incomes
and will not be entitled to a tax deduction or credit for such taxes on their
own tax returns.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund is required to withhold (as &#147;backup withholding&#148;) a certain percentage of
reportable payments, including dividends, capital gain distributions and the
proceeds of redemptions or repurchases of fund shares paid to shareholders who
have not complied with certain IRS regulations. In order to avoid this
withholding requirement, shareholders, other than certain exempt entities, must
certify on their Account Applications, or on separate IRS Forms W-9, that the
Social Security Number or other Taxpayer Identification Number they provide is
their correct number and that they are not currently subject to backup
withholding, or that they are exempt from backup withholding. The Fund may
nevertheless be required to backup withhold if it receives notice from the IRS
or a broker that the number provided is incorrect or backup withholding is
applicable as a result of previous underreporting of interest or dividend
income.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
description of certain federal tax provisions above relates only to U.S.
federal income tax consequences for shareholders who are U.S. persons, i.e.,
generally, U.S. citizens or residents or U.S. corporations, partnerships,
trusts or estates, and who are subject to U.S. federal income tax and hold
their shares as capital assets. Except as otherwise provided, this description
does not address the special tax rules&nbsp;that may be applicable to
particular types of investors, such as financial institutions, insurance
companies, securities dealers, other regulated investment companies, or
tax-exempt or tax-deferred plans, accounts or entities. Investors other than
U.S. persons may be subject to different U.S. federal income tax treatment,
including a non-resident alien U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% or any
lower applicable treaty rate on amounts treated as ordinary dividends from the
Fund (other than, for the taxable year of the Fund beginning on November&nbsp;1,
2009, certain dividends designated by the Fund as (i)&nbsp;interest-related
dividends, to the extent such dividends are derived from the Fund&#146;s &#147;qualified
net interest income,&#148; or (ii)&nbsp;short-term capital gain dividends, to the
extent such dividends are derived from the Fund&#146;s &#147;qualified short-term gain&#148;)
or, in certain circumstances, unless an effective IRS Form&nbsp;W-8BEN or other
authorized withholding certificate is on file, to backup withholding at the
rate of 28% on certain other payments from the Fund. &#147;Qualified net interest
income&#148; is the Fund&#146;s net income derived from U.S.-source interest and original
issue discount, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. &#147;Qualified
short-term gain&#148; generally means the excess of the net short-term capital gain
of the Fund for the taxable year over its net long-term capital loss, if any.
Backup withholding will not be applied to payments that have been subject to
the 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) withholding tax on shareholders who
are neither citizens nor residents of the United States. Shareholders should
consult their own tax advisers on these matters and on state, local, foreign
and other applicable tax laws.</font></p>

state income (and possibly local income and/or intangible property) tax
exemption is generally available to the extent the Fund&#146;s distributions are
derived from interest on (or, in the case of intangible property taxes, the
value of its assets is attributable to) certain U.S. government obligations,
provided in some states that certain thresholds for holdings of such
obligations and/or reporting requirements are satisfied. The Fund will not seek

taxing jurisdictions, although the Fund may in its sole discretion provide

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Shares
of closed-end management investment companies often trade at a discount to
their net asset values, and the Shares may likewise trade at a discount to
their net asset value, although it is possible that they may trade at a premium
above net asset value. The market price of the Shares will be determined by
such factors as relative demand for and supply of such Shares in the market,
the Fund&#146;s net asset value, general market and economic conditions and other
factors beyond the control of the Fund. See &#147;Determination of Net Asset Value.&#148;
Although the shareholders will not have the right to redeem their Shares, the
Fund may take action to repurchase Shares in the open market or make tender
offers for Shares at their net asset value. This may have the effect of
reducing any market discount from net asset value.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">There
is no assurance that if action is undertaken to repurchase or tender for
Shares, such action will result in the Shares&#146; trading at a price which
approximates their net asset value. Although Share repurchases and tenders
could have a favorable effect on the market price of the Shares, it should be recognized
that the acquisition of Shares by the Fund will decrease the total assets of
the Fund and, therefore, have the effect of increasing the Fund&#146;s expense
ratio. Any Share repurchases or tender offers will be made in accordance with
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1940
Act.</font></p>

net asset value per Share of the Fund was $2.88 and on that date the closing

the Fund&#146;s Shares have recently traded at a premium to their net asset value,
the Fund&#146;s Shares have in the past traded at a discount to their net asset

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund&#146;s Declaration of Trust includes provisions that could have the effect of
limiting the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the
Fund or to change the composition of its Board, and could have the effect of
depriving shareholders of an opportunity to sell their Shares at a premium over
prevailing market prices by discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain
control of the Fund. These provisions may have the effect of discouraging
attempts to acquire control of the Fund, which attempts could have the effect
of increasing the expenses of the Fund and interfering with the normal
operation of the Fund.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Board is divided into three classes, with the terms of one class expiring at
each annual meeting of shareholders. At each annual meeting, one class of
Trustees is elected to a three-year term. This provision could delay for up to
two years the replacement of a majority of the Board. A Trustee may be removed
from office for any reason or for no reason by a written instrument signed by
at least two-thirds of the remaining Trustees or by a vote of the holders of at
least two-thirds of the Shares.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
addition, the Declaration of Trust requires the favorable vote of the holders
of at least 80% of the outstanding Shares of each class of the Fund, voting as
a class, then entitled to vote to approve, adopt or authorize certain
transactions with 5%-or-greater holders of a class of Shares and their
associates, unless the Board shall by resolution have approved a memorandum of
understanding with such holders, in which case normal voting requirements would
be in effect. For purposes of these provisions, a 5%-or-greater holder of a
class of Shares (a &#147;Principal Shareholder&#148;) refers to any person who, whether
directly or indirectly and whether alone or together with its affiliates and
associates, beneficially owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares of any class
of beneficial interest of the Fund. The transactions subject to these special
approval requirements are: (i)&nbsp;the merger or consolidation of the Fund or
any subsidiary of the Fund with or into any Principal Shareholder; (ii)&nbsp;the
issuance of any securities of the Fund to any Principal Shareholder for cash
(except pursuant to the Fund&#146;s dividend reinvestment and cash purchase plan);
(iii)&nbsp;the sale, lease or exchange of all or any substantial part of the
assets of the Fund to any Principal Shareholder (except assets having an
aggregate fair market value of less than $1,000,000, aggregating for the
purpose of such computation all assets sold, leased or exchanged in any series
of similar transactions within a twelve-month period); or (iv)&nbsp;the sale,
lease or exchange to the Fund or any subsidiary thereof, in exchange for
securities of the Fund, of any assets of any Principal Shareholder (except
assets having an aggregate fair market value of less than $1,000,000,
aggregating for the purposes of such computation all assets sold, leased or
exchanged in any series of similar transactions within a twelve-month period).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Closed-end
funds differ from open-end investment companies (commonly referred to as mutual
funds) in that closed-end funds generally list their shares for trading on a
securities exchange and do not redeem their shares at the option of the
shareholder. By comparison, mutual funds issue securities redeemable at NAV at
the option of the shareholder and typically engage in a continuous offering of
their shares. Mutual funds are subject to continuous asset in-flows and
out-flows that can complicate portfolio management, whereas closed-end funds
generally can stay more fully invested in securities consistent with the
closed-end fund&#146;s investment objective and policies. In addition, in comparison
to open-end funds, closed-end funds have greater flexibility in their ability
to make certain types of investments, including investments in illiquid
securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">However,
shares of closed-end investment companies listed for trading on a securities
exchange frequently trade at a discount from NAV, although in some cases they
may trade at a premium. The market price may be affected by trading volume of
the shares, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond the
control of the closed-end fund. The foregoing factors may result in the market
price of the shares being greater than, less than or equal to NAV. The Board of
Trustees has reviewed the structure of the Fund in light of its investment
objective and policies and has determined that the closed-end structure is in
the best interests of the shareholders. As described above, however, the Board
of Trustees will review periodically the trading range and activity of the
Fund&#146;s common shares with respect to its NAV and the Board may take certain
actions to seek to reduce or eliminate any such discount. Such actions may
include open market repurchases or tender offers for the common shares at net

recently, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were government-sponsored corporations
owned entirely by private stockholders. Both issue mortgage-related securities
that contain guarantees as to timely payment of interest and principal but that
are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The value
of the companies&#146; securities fell sharply in 2008 due to concerns that the
companies did not have sufficient capital to offset losses. In mid-2008, the
U.S. Treasury was authorized to increase the size of home loans that Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac could purchase in certain residential areas and, until 2009, to
lend Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac emergency funds and to purchase the companies&#146;
stock. In September&nbsp;2008, the U.S. Treasury announced that Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac had been placed in conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance
Agency (&#147;FHFA&#148;), a newly created independent regulator. The U.S. government
also took steps to provide additional financial support to such entities.&#160; No assurance can be given that the U.S.
Treasury initiatives discussed above with respect to the debt and
mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be
successful or that they will continue.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Other
U.S. government securities in which the Fund may invest include securities
issued or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, Farmers Home Loan
Administration, Export-Import Bank of the United States, Small Business
Administration, GNMA, General Services Administration, Central Bank for
Cooperatives, Federal Farm Credit Banks, Federal Home Loan Banks, Freddie Mac,
Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Fannie Mae, Maritime
Administration, Tennessee Valley Authority, District of Columbia Armory Board
and Student Loan Marketing Association.&#160;
The Fund may invest in instruments that are supported by the right of
the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury and instruments that are supported
solely by the credit of the instrumentality or enterprise.&#160; Because the U.S. government is not obligated
by law to provide support to an instrumentality it sponsors, the Fund will
invest in obligations issued by such an instrumentality only if Credit Suisse
determines that the credit risk with respect to the instrumentality does not
make its securities unsuitable for investment by the Fund.</font></p>

invest in zero coupon U.S. Treasury securities, which are Treasury Notes and
Treasury Bonds that have been stripped of their unmatured interest coupons, the
coupons themselves and receipts or certificates representing interests in such
stripped debt obligations and coupons. Such stripped securities also are issued
by corporations and financial institutions which constitute a proportionate
ownership of the issuer&#146;s pool of underlying securities. A stripped security pays
no interest to its holder during its life and is sold at a discount to its face
value at maturity. The market prices of such securities generally are more
volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically
and are likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates than
coupon securities having similar maturities and credit qualities.</font></p>

</font></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In these transactions, the Fund sells a security it does not own in
anticipation of a decline in the market value of the security. To complete the
transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer.
The Fund is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it
subsequently at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such
time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the
Fund, which would result in a loss or gain, respectively.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Securities will not be sold
short if, after effect is given to any such short sale, the total market value
of all securities sold short would exceed 25% of the value of the Fund&#146;s net
assets. The Fund may not make a short sale which results in the Fund having
sold short in the aggregate more than 10% of the outstanding securities of any
class of an issuer.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund also may make short

broker as collateral always equals the current value of the security sold
short; or (b)&nbsp;otherwise cover its short position.</font></p>

lend securities from its portfolio to brokers, dealers and other financial
institutions needing to borrow securities to complete certain transactions. The
Fund continues to be entitled to payments in amounts equal to the interest, dividends
or other distributions payable on the loaned securities, which affords the Fund
an opportunity to earn interest on the amount of the loan and on the loaned
securities&#146; collateral. Loans of portfolio securities may not exceed 33-1/3% of
the value of the Fund&#146;s total assets, and the Securities and Exchange
Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) currently requires the Fund to receive collateral consisting
of cash, U.S. Government securities or irrevocable letters of credit which will
be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current
market value of the loaned securities. According to the SEC, such loans
currently must be terminable by the Fund at any time upon specified notice. The
Fund might experience risk of loss if the institution with which it has engaged
in a portfolio loan transaction breaches its agreement with the Fund. In
connection with its securities lending transactions, the Fund may return to the
borrower or a third party which is acting as a &#147;placing broker,&#148; a part of the
interest earned from the investment of collateral received for securities
loaned.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Generally, the SEC currently
requires that the following conditions must be met whenever portfolio
securities are loaned: (1)&nbsp;the Fund must receive at least 100% cash or
equivalent collateral from the borrower; (2)&nbsp;the borrower must increase
such collateral whenever the market value of the securities rises above the
level of such collateral; (3)&nbsp;the Fund must be able to terminate the loan
at any time; (4)&nbsp;the Fund must receive reasonable interest on the loan, as
well as any dividends, interest or other distributions payable on the loaned
securities, and any increase in market value; (5)&nbsp;the Fund may pay only
reasonable custodian fees in connection with the loan; and (6)&nbsp;while
voting rights on the loaned securities may pass to the borrower, the Board of
Trustees of the Fund (the &#147;Board&#148;) must terminate the loan and regain the right
to vote the securities if a material event adversely affecting the investment
occurs. If the regulatory requirements pertaining to portfolio securities
lending were to change, the Fund would comply with such changes as required.</font></p>

securities subject to legal or contractual restriction, or that are otherwise
illiquid, without limitation. When purchasing securities that have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are not readily
marketable, the Fund will endeavor, to the extent practicable, to obtain the
right to registration at the expense of the issuer. Generally, there will be a

Rule&nbsp;144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Fund intends
to treat such securities as liquid securities in accordance with procedures
approved by the Board. Because it is not possible to predict with assurance how
the market for specific restricted securities sold pursuant to Rule&nbsp;144A
will develop, the Board has directed Credit Suisse to monitor carefully the
Fund&#146;s investments in such securities with particular regard to trading
activity, availability of reliable price information and other relevant
information. To the extent that, for a period of time, qualified institutional
buyers cease purchasing restricted securities pursuant to Rule&nbsp;144A, the
Fund&#146;s investing in such securities may have the effect of increasing the level
of illiquidity in its investment portfolio during such period. Substantial
illiquid positions in the Fund could adversely impact its ability to convert to
open-end status.</font></p>

enter into reverse repurchase agreements with respect to its portfolio
investments subject to the investment restrictions set forth herein. Reverse
repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by the Fund with an
agreement by the Fund to repurchase the securities at an agreed upon price,
date and interest payment. The use by the Fund of reverse repurchase agreements
involves many of the same risks of leverage described under &#147;Special
Considerations and Risk Factors&#151;Leverage Risk&#148; and &#147;Use of Leverage&#148; in the
prospectus since the proceeds derived from such reverse repurchase agreements
may be invested in additional securities. At the time the Fund enters into a
reverse repurchase agreement, it may establish and maintain a segregated
account with the custodian containing liquid instruments having a value not
less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). If the Fund
establishes and maintains such a segregated account, a reverse repurchase
agreement will not be considered a borrowing by the Fund; however, under
circumstances in which the Fund does not establish and maintain such a segregated
account, such reverse repurchase agreement will be considered a borrowing for
the purpose of the Fund&#146;s limitation on borrowings. Reverse repurchase
agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities acquired in
connection with the reverse repurchase agreement may decline below the price of
the securities the Fund has sold but is obligated to repurchase. Also, reverse
repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities
retained in lieu of sale by the Fund in connection with the reverse repurchase
agreement may decline in price.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If
the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for
bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or its trustee or receiver may
receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Fund&#146;s
obligation to repurchase the securities, and the Fund&#146;s use of the proceeds of
the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such
decision. Also, the Fund would bear the risk of loss to the extent that the
proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement are less than the value of the
securities subject to such agreement.</font></p>

1940 Act, the Fund may hold securities of another investment company in amounts
which (a)&nbsp;do not exceed 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of such
company, (b)&nbsp;do not exceed 5% of the value of the Fund&#146;s total assets and
(iii)&nbsp;when added to all other investment company securities held by the
Fund, do not exceed 10% of the value of the Fund&#146;s total assets.&#160; As a shareholder of another investment
company, each Fund would bear, along with other shareholders, its pro rata
portion of the other investment company&#146;s expenses, including advisory
fees.&#160; These expenses would be in
addition to the advisory and other expenses that a Fund bears directly in
connection with its own operations.</font></p>

use, derivatives (&#147;Derivatives&#148;). These are financial instruments that derive
their performance, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying
asset, index or interest rate. The Derivatives the Fund may use include
options, futures contracts, forward contracts, securities and swaps. The Fund
may invest in, or enter into, Derivatives for a variety of reasons, including
to hedge certain market risks, to provide a substitute for purchasing or
selling particular securities or to increase potential income gain. Derivatives
may provide a cheaper, quicker or more specifically focused way for the Fund to
invest than &#147;traditional&#148; securities would.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Derivatives
can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risk, depending upon
the characteristics of the particular Derivative and the portfolio as a whole.
Derivatives permit the Fund to increase or decrease the level of risk, or
change the character of the risk, to which its portfolio is exposed in much the
same way as the Fund can increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the
character of the risk, of its portfolio by purchasing or selling specific securities.</font></p>

the Fund invests in Derivatives at inopportune times or judges market
conditions incorrectly, such investments may lower the Fund&#146;s return or result
in a loss. The Fund also could experience losses if its Derivatives were poorly
correlated with its other investments, or if the Fund were unable to liquidate
its position because of an illiquid secondary market. The market for many
Derivatives is, or suddenly can become, illiquid. Changes in liquidity may
result in significant, rapid and unpredictable changes in the prices for
Derivatives.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Derivatives
may be purchased on established exchanges or through privately negotiated
transactions referred to as over-the-counter Derivatives. Exchange-traded
Derivatives generally are guaranteed by the clearing agency that is the issuer
or counterparty to such Derivatives. This guarantee usually is supported by a
daily payment system (i.e., variation margin requirements) operated by the
clearing agency in order to reduce overall credit risk. As a result, unless the
clearing agency defaults, there is relatively little counterparty credit risk
associated with Derivatives purchased on an exchange. By contrast, no clearing
agency guarantees over-the-counter Derivatives. Therefore, each party to an
over-the-counter Derivative bears the risk that the counterparty will default.
Accordingly, Credit Suisse will consider the creditworthiness of counterparties
to over-the-counter Derivatives in the same manner as it would review the
credit quality of a security to be purchased by the Fund. Over-the-counter
Derivatives are less liquid than exchange-traded Derivatives since the other
party to the transaction may be the only investor with sufficient understanding
of the Derivative to be interested in bidding for it.</font></p>

options on futures contracts in U.S. domestic markets, such as the Chicago
Board of Trade and the International Monetary Market of the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange or on exchanges located outside the United States, such as the London
International Financial Futures Exchange and the Sydney Futures Exchange
Limited. Foreign markets may offer advantages such as trading opportunities or
arbitrage possibilities not available in the United States. Foreign markets,
however, may have greater risk potential than domestic markets. For example,
some foreign exchanges are principal markets so that no common clearing
facility exists and an investor may look only to the broker for performance of
the contract. In addition, any profits that the Fund might realize in trading
could be eliminated by adverse changes in the exchange rate, or the Fund could
incur losses as a result of those changes. Transactions on foreign exchanges
may include both commodities which are traded on domestic exchanges and those
that are not. Unlike trading on domestic commodity exchanges, trading on
foreign commodity exchanges is not regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (&#147;CFTC&#148;).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Engaging
in these transactions involves risk of loss to the Fund that could adversely
affect the value of the Fund&#146;s net assets. Although the Fund intends to
purchase or sell futures contracts and options thereon only if there is an
active market for such contracts, no assurance can be given that a liquid
market will exist for any particular contract at any particular time. Many
futures exchanges and boards of trade limit the amount of fluctuation permitted
in futures contract or option prices during a single trading day. Once the
daily limit has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made
that day at a price beyond that limit or trading may be suspended for specified
periods during the trading day. Futures contract or option prices could move to
the limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading,
thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures or option positions and
potentially subjecting the Fund to substantial losses. Successful use of
futures and options on futures by the Fund also is subject to the ability of
Credit Suisse to predict correctly movements in the direction of the relevant
market and, to the extent the transaction is entered into for hedging purposes,
to ascertain the appropriate correlation between the transaction being hedged
and the price movements of the futures contract or option thereon. For example,
if the Fund uses futures to hedge against the possibility of a decline in the
market value of securities held in its portfolio and the prices of such
securities instead increase, the Fund will lose part or all of the benefit of
the increased value of securities that it has hedged because it will have
offsetting losses in its futures positions. Furthermore, if in such
circumstances the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities to
meet daily variation margin requirements. The Fund may have to sell such
securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund may purchase and sell currency futures. A foreign currency future
obligates the Fund to purchase or sell an amount of a specific currency at a
future date at a specific price. The Fund may purchase and sell stock index and
debt futures contracts. An index future obligates the Fund to pay or receive an
amount of cash equal to a fixed dollar amount specified in the futures contract
multiplied by the difference between the settlement price of the contract on
the contract&#146;s last trading day and the value of the index based on the prices
of the securities that comprise it at the opening of trading in such securities
on the next business day.</font></p>

Fund may also purchase and sell options on interest rate, currency and index
futures. When the Fund writes an option on a futures contract, it becomes
obligated, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in the futures
contract at a specified exercise price at any time during the terms of the
option. If the Fund writes a call, it assumes a short futures position. If it
writes a put, it assumes a long futures position. When the Fund purchases an
option on a futures contract, it acquires the right, in return for the premium
it pays, to assume a position in the futures contract (a long position if the
option is a call and a short position if the option is a put).</font></p>

forward currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies for a fixed
amount of U.S. dollars or another foreign currency. A forward currency contract
involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future
date, which may be any fixed number of days (term) from the date of the forward
currency contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time the
forward currency contract is entered into. Forward currency contracts are
traded directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and
their customers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund may purchase a forward currency contract to lock in the U.S. dollar price
of a security denominated in a foreign currency that the Fund intends to
acquire. The Fund may sell a forward currency contract to lock in the U.S.
dollar equivalent of the proceeds from the anticipated sale of a security or a
dividend or interest payment denominated in a foreign currency. The Fund may
also use forward currency contracts to shift the Fund&#146;s exposure to foreign
currency exchange rate changes from one currency to another. For example, if
the Fund owns securities denominated in a foreign currency and Credit Suisse
believes that currency will decline relative to another currency, it might
enter into a forward currency contract to sell the appropriate amount of the first
foreign currency with payment to be made in the second currency. The Fund may
also purchase forward currency contracts to enhance income when Credit Suisse
anticipates that the foreign currency will appreciate in value but securities
denominated in that currency do not present attractive investment
opportunities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund may also use forward currency contracts to hedge against a decline in the
value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. Such a hedge
would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but
would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. The Fund
could also hedge the position by entering into a forward currency contract to
sell another currency expected to perform similarly to the currency in which
the Fund&#146;s existing investments are denominated. This type of hedge could offer
advantages in terms of cost, yield or efficiency, but may not hedge currency
exposure as effectively as a simple hedge into U.S. dollars. This type of hedge
may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly
to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund may also use forward currency contracts in one currency or a basket of
currencies to attempt to hedge against fluctuations in the value of securities
denominated in a different currency if Credit Suisse anticipates that there
will be a correlation between the two currencies.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">contracts
are usually entered into on a principal basis, no fees or commissions are
involved. When the Fund enters into a forward currency contract, it relies on
the counterparty to make or take delivery of the underlying currency at the
maturity of the contract. Failure by the counterparty to do so would result in
the loss of some or all of any expected benefit of the transaction.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Secondary
markets generally do not exist for forward currency contracts, with the result
that closing transactions generally can be made for forward currency contracts
only by negotiating directly with the counterparty. Thus, there can be no
assurance that the Fund will in fact be able to close out a forward currency
contract at a favorable price prior to maturity. In addition, in the event of
insolvency of the counterparty, the Fund might be unable to close out a forward
currency contract. In either event, the Fund would continue to be subject to
market risk with respect to the position, and would continue to be required to
maintain a position in securities denominated in the foreign currency or to maintain
cash or liquid assets in a segregated account.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
precise matching of forward currency contract amounts and the value of the
securities involved generally will not be possible because the value of such
securities, measured in the foreign currency, will change after the forward
currency contract has been established. Thus, the Fund might need to purchase
or sell foreign currencies in the spot (cash) market to the extent such foreign
currencies are not covered by forward currency contracts. The projection of
short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult, and the successful
execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Interest Rate Swaps. </font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Interest rate swaps involve
the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to
pay or receive interest (for example, an exchange of floating rate payments for
fixed rate payments). The exchange commitments can involve payments to be made
in the same currency or in different currencies. The use of interest rate swaps
is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks
different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions.
If Credit Suisse is incorrect in its forecasts of market values, interest rates
and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund would
diminish compared with what it would have been if these investment techniques
were not used. Moreover, even if Credit Suisse is correct in its forecasts,
there is a risk that the swap position may correlate imperfectly with the price
of the asset or liability being hedged. There is no limit on the amount of
interest rate swap transactions that may be entered into by the Fund. These
transactions do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying
assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to interest
rate swaps is limited to the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is
contractually obligated to make. If the other party to an interest rate swap
defaults, the Fund&#146;s risk of loss consists of the net amount of interest
payments that the Fund contractually is entitled to receive.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Credit Derivatives. </font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund may, but is not
obligated to, engage in credit derivative transactions. There are two broad
categories of credit derivatives: default price risk derivatives and market
spread derivatives. Default price risk derivatives are linked to the price of
reference securities or loans after a default by the issuer or borrower,
respectively. Market spread derivatives are based on the risk that changes in
market factors, such as credit spreads, can cause a decline in the value of a
security, loan or index. There are three basic transactional forms for credit
derivatives: swaps, options and structured instruments. The use of credit
derivatives is a highly specialized activity which involves strategies and
risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security
transactions. If Credit Suisse is incorrect in its forecasts of default risks,
market spreads or other applicable factors, the investment performance of the
Fund would diminish compared with what it would have been if these techniques
were not used. Moreover, even if Credit Suisse is correct in its forecasts,
there is a risk that a credit derivative position, may correlate imperfectly
with the price of the asset or liability being hedged. There is no limit on the
amount of credit derivative transactions that may be entered into by the Fund.
The Fund&#146;s risk of loss in a credit derivative transaction varies with the form
of the transaction. For example, if the Fund purchases a default option on a
security, and if no default occurs with respect to the security, the Fund&#146;s
loss is limited to the premium it paid for the default option. In contrast, if
there is a default by the grantor of a default option, the Fund&#146;s loss will
include both the premium that it paid for the option and the decline in value
of the underlying security that the default option hedged.</font></p>

(i.e., sell) call or put options with respect to specific securities. A call
option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and obligates the
writer to sell, the underlying security or securities at the exercise price at
any time during the option period, or at a specific date. Conversely, a put
option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and obligates the
writer to buy, the underlying security or securities at the exercise price at
any time during the option period, or at a specific date.</font></p>

by the Fund is covered when, among other things, cash or liquid assets having a
value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the option are placed in a
segregated account with the Fund&#146;s custodian to fulfill the obligation
undertaken. The principal reason for writing covered call and put options is to
realize, through the receipt of premiums, a greater return than would be
realized on the underlying securities alone. The Fund receives a premium from
writing covered call or put options which it retains whether or not the option
is exercised.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">There
is no assurance that sufficient trading interest to create a liquid secondary
market on a securities exchange will exist for any particular option or at any
particular time, and for some options no such secondary market may exist. A
liquid secondary market in an option may cease to exist for a variety of
reasons. In the past, for example, higher than anticipated trading activity or
order flow, or other unforeseen events, at times have rendered certain of the
clearing facilities inadequate and resulted in the institution of special
procedures, such as trading rotations, restrictions on certain types of orders
or trading halts or suspensions in one or more options. There can be no
assurance that similar events, or events that may otherwise interfere with the
timely execution of customers&#146; orders, will not recur. In such event, it might
not be possible to effect closing transactions in particular options. If, as a
covered call option writer, the Fund is unable to effect a closing purchase
transaction in a secondary market, it will not be able to sell the underlying
security until the option expires or it delivers the underlying security upon
exercise or it otherwise covers its position.</font></p>

sell call and put options on foreign currency. These options convey the right
to buy or sell the underlying currency at a price which is expected to be lower
or higher than the spot price of the currency at the time the option is
exercised or expires.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund may purchase and sell call and put options in respect of specific
securities (or groups or &#147;baskets&#148; of specific securities) or indices listed on
national securities exchanges or traded in the over-the-counter market. An
option on an index is similar to an option in respect of specific securities,
except that settlement does not occur by delivery of the securities comprising
he index. Instead, the option holder receives an amount of cash if the closing
level of the index upon which the option is based is greater than, in the case
of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the
option. Thus, the effectiveness of purchasing or writing index options will
depend upon price movements in the level of the index rather than the price of
a particular security.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund also may purchase cash-settled options on swaps in pursuit of its
investment objectives. A cash settled option on a swap gives the purchaser the
right, but not the obligation, in return for the premium paid, to receive an
amount of cash equal to the value of the underlying swap as of the exercise
date. These options typically are purchased in privately negotiated
transactions from financial institutions, including securities brokerage firms.</font></p>

securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis, which means that
delivery and payment take place a number of days after the date of the
commitment to purchase. The payment obligation and the interest rate receivable
on a forward commitment or when-issued security are fixed when the Fund enters
into the commitment, but the Fund does not make payment until it receives
delivery from the counterparty. The Fund will commit to purchase such securities
only with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but the Fund may
sell these securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable. The
Fund will set aside in a segregated account of the Fund permissible liquid
assets at least equal at all times to the amount of the commitments.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Securities
purchased on a forward commitment or when-issued basis are subject to changes
in value (generally changing in the same way, i.e., appreciating when interest
rates decline and depreciating when interest rates rise) based upon the
public&#146;s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes, real or
anticipated, in the level of interest rates. Securities purchased on a forward
commitment or when-issued basis may expose the Fund to risks because they may
experience such fluctuations prior to their actual delivery. Purchasing
securities on a when-issued basis can involve the additional risk that the
yield available in the market when the delivery takes place actually may be
higher than that obtained in the transaction itself. Purchasing securities on a

Committee, which is composed of Trustees who are not interested persons of the
Fund and who are independent (as such term is defined by the listing standards
of the New York Stock Exchange Amex (&#147;NYSE Amex&#148;)). The Audit Committee
convened four times during the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2009. The
Audit Committee advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and
financial matters affecting the Fund. Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter
adopted by the Fund&#146;s Board (a copy of which was included as Appendix B to the
Fund&#146;s proxy statement dated December&nbsp;28, 2007), the Audit Committee is
responsible for conferring with the Fund&#146;s independent registered public
accounting firm, reviewing annual financial statements, approving the selection
of the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm and overseeing the
Fund&#146;s internal controls. The Fund&#146;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 the Fund&#146;s independent registered public
accounting firm to the Fund and to Credit Suisse and certain of its affiliates.</font></p>

(as such term is defined by the listing standards of NYSE Amex). The Nominating
Committee met three times during the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2009.
The Nominating Committee selects and nominates new Trustees. The Board has
adopted a Nominating Committee Charter (a copy of which was included as
Appendix A to the Fund&#146;s proxy statement dated December&nbsp;28, 2007). In
nominating candidates, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration
such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include judgment,
skill, diversity, experience with investment companies and other organizations
of comparable purpose, complexity, size and subject to similar legal
restrictions and oversight, the interplay of the candidate&#146;s experience with
the experience of other Board members, and the extent to which the candidate
would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees thereof. With
respect to diversity, the Nominating Committee considers whether a candidate&#146;s
background, experience and skills will contribute to the diversity of the
Board.</font></p>

the Secretary of the Fund, c/o Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, Eleven
Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010. Any submission should include at a
minimum the following information: As to each individual proposed for election
or re-election as Trustee, the name, age, business address, residence address
and principal occupation or employment of such individual, the class, series
and number of Shares of the Fund that are beneficially owned by such
individual, the date such shares were acquired and the investment intent of
such acquisition, whether such shareholder believes such individual is, or is
not, an &#147;interested person&#148; of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act), and
information regarding such individual that is sufficient, in the discretion of
the Nominating Committee, to make such determination, and all other information
relating to such individual that is required to be disclosed in solicitation of
proxies for election of Trustees in an election contest (even if an election
contest is not involved) or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to
Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (&#147;1934 Act&#148;), and the rules&nbsp;thereunder (including such
individual&#146;s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee
and to serving as a Trustee (if elected)). In the case of the Fund holding a
meeting of shareholders, any such submission, in order to be considered for
inclusion in the Fund&#146;s proxy statement, should be submitted by a date not
later than the 120th calendar day before the date the Fund&#146;s proxy statement
was released to security holders in connection with the Fund&#146;s previous year&#146;s
annual meeting or, if the Fund has changed the meeting date by more than 30
days or if no meeting was held the previous year, within a reasonable time
before the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy </font></p>

of Board of Trustees</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board believes that each Trustee&#146;s experience,
qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination
with those of the other Trustees lead to the conclusion that each Trustee
should serve in such capacity.&#160; Among the
attributes common to all Trustees are their ability to review critically,
evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact
effectively with the other Trustees, Credit Suisse, other service providers,
counsel and the </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective business judgment
in the performance of their duties as Trustees.&#160;
A Trustee&#146;s ability to perform his or her duties effectively may have
been attained through the Trustee&#146;s business, consulting, public service and/or
academic positions; experience from service as a board member of the Fund and
the other funds in the Fund Complex, other investment funds, public companies,
or non-profit entities or other organizations; educational background or
professional training; and/or other life experiences.&#160; In addition to these shared characteristics,
set forth below is a brief discussion of the specific experience,
qualifications, attributes or skills of each Trustee that support the conclusion
that each person should serve as a Trustee.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Overall
responsibility for oversight of the Fund rests with the Board. The Fund has
engaged Credit Suisse to manage the Fund on a day-to-day basis.&#160; The Board is responsible for overseeing
Credit Suisse and other service providers in the operations of the Fund in
accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, applicable provisions of state
and other laws and the Fund&#146;s charter. The Board is currently composed of five
members, each of whom is an Independent Trustee. The Board meets in-person at
regularly scheduled quarterly meetings each year. In addition, the Board may
hold special in-person or telephonic meetings or informal conference calls to
discuss specific matters that may arise or require action between regular
meetings.&#160; As described below, the Board
has established a Nominating Committee and an Audit Committee, and may establish
ad hoc committees or working groups from time to time, to assist the Board in
fulfilling its oversight responsibilities.&#160;
The Independent Trustees have
also engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their
oversight responsibilities.</font></p>

key point person for dealings between management and the Trustees.&#160; The Chairman may also perform such other
functions as may be delegated by the Board from time to time. The Board reviews
matters related to its leadership structure annually.&#160; The Board has determined that the Board&#146;s
leadership structure is appropriate because
it allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over the
matters under its purview and it allocates areas of responsibility among
committees of Trustees and the full Board in a manner that enhances effective
oversight.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund is subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, operational
and valuation risks, among others.&#160; Risk
oversight forms part of the Board&#146;s general oversight of the Fund and is
addressed as part of various Board and committee activities.&#160; Day-to-day risk management functions are
subsumed within the responsibilities of Credit Suisse and other service
providers (depending on the nature of the risk), which carry out the Fund&#146;s
investment management and business affairs.&#160;
Credit Suisse and other service providers employ a variety of processes,
procedures and controls to identify various events or circumstances that give
rise to risks, to lessen the probability of their occurrence and/or to mitigate
the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur.&#160; Each of Credit Suisse and other service
providers have their own independent interest in risk management, and their
policies and methods of risk management will depend on their functions and
business models.&#160; The Board recognizes
that it is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Fund
or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence
or effects.&#160; As part of its regular
oversight of the Fund, the Board interacts with and reviews reports from, among
others, Credit Suisse, the Fund&#146;s Chief Compliance Officer, the Fund&#146;s
independent registered public accounting firm and counsel, as appropriate,
regarding risks faced by the Fund and applicable risk controls.&#160; The Board may, at any time and in its
discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">It
is possible that conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the
portfolio managers&#146; management of the Fund&#146;s investments on the one hand and
the investments of other accounts on the other. For example, the portfolio
managers may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time,
resources and investment opportunities among the Fund and other accounts they
advise. In addition due to differences in the investment strategies or
restrictions between the Fund and the other accounts, the portfolio managers
may take action with respect to another account that differs from the action
taken with respect to the Fund.&#160; Credit
Suisse has adopted policies and procedures that are designed to minimize the
effects of these conflicts.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If
Credit Suisse believes that the purchase or sale of a security is in the best
interest of more than one client, it may (but is not obligated to) aggregate
the orders to be sold or purchased to seek favorable execution or lower
brokerage commissions, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and
regulations.&#160; Credit Suisse may aggregate
orders if all participating client accounts benefit equally (i.e., all receive
an average price of the aggregated orders). In the event Credit Suisse
aggregates an order for participating accounts, the method of allocation will
generally be determined prior to the trade execution. Although no specific
method of allocation of transactions (as well as expenses incurred in the
transactions) is expected to be used, allocations will be designed to ensure
that over time all clients receive fair treatment consistent with Credit
Suisse&#146;s fiduciary duty to its clients (including its duty to seek to obtain
best execution of client trades). The accounts aggregated may include
registered and unregistered investment companies managed by Credit Suisse&#146;s
affiliates and accounts in which Credit Suisse&#146;s officers, directors, agents,
employees or affiliates own interests. Applicant may not be able to aggregate
securities transactions for clients who direct the use of a particular broker-dealer,
and the client also may not benefit from any improved execution or lower
commissions that may be available for such transactions.</font></p>

Suisse is responsible for establishing, reviewing and, where necessary,
modifying the Fund&#146;s investment program to achieve its investment
objectives.&#160; Purchases and sales of newly
issued portfolio securities are usually principal transactions without
brokerage commissions effected directly with the issuer or with an underwriter
acting as principal.&#160; Other purchases and
sales may be effected on a securities exchange or over-the-counter, depending
on where it appears that the best price or execution will be obtained.&#160; The purchase price paid by the Fund to
underwriters of newly issued securities usually includes a concession paid by
the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases of securities from dealers, acting
as either principals or agents in the after market, are normally executed
at&nbsp;a&nbsp;price between the bid and asked price, which includes a dealer&#146;s
mark-up or mark-down.&#160; Transactions on
U.S. stock exchanges and some foreign stock exchanges involve the payment of
negotiated brokerage commissions.&#160; On
exchanges on which commissions are negotiated, the cost of transactions may
vary among different brokers.&#160; On most
foreign exchanges, commissions are generally fixed.&#160; There is generally no stated commission in
the case of securities traded in domestic or foreign over-the-counter markets,
but the price of securities traded in over-the-counter markets includes an
undisclosed commission or mark-up.&#160; U.S.
government securities are generally purchased from underwriters or dealers,
although certain newly issued U.S. government securities may be purchased
directly from the U.S. Treasury or from the issuing agency or
instrumentality.&#160; No brokerage
commissions are typically paid on purchases and sales of U.S. government
securities.&#160; For the 2009, 2008 and 2007
fiscal years, the Fund paid $363, $1,073 and $241, respectively, in brokerage
commissions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Credit
Suisse will select portfolio investments and effect transactions for the
Fund.&#160; In selecting broker-dealers,
Credit Suisse does business exclusively with those broker-dealers that, in
Credit Suisse&#146;s judgment, can be expected to provide the best service.&#160; The service has two main aspects:&#160; the execution of buy and sell orders and the
provision of research.&#160; In negotiating
commissions with broker-dealers, Credit Suisse will pay no more for execution
and research services than it considers either, or both together, to be
worth.&#160; The worth of execution service
depends on the ability of the broker-dealer to minimize costs of securities
purchased and to maximize prices obtained for securities sold.&#160; The worth of research depends on its
usefulness in optimizing portfolio composition and its changes over time.&#160; Commissions for the combination of execution
and research services that meet Credit Suisse&#146;s standards may be higher than
for execution services alone or for services that fall below Credit Suisse&#146;s
standards.&#160; Credit Suisse believes that
these arrangements may benefit all clients and not necessarily only the
accounts in which the particular investment transactions occur that are so
executed.&#160; Further, Credit Suisse will
receive only brokerage or research services in connection with securities
transactions that are consistent with the &#147;safe harbor&#148; provisions of Section&nbsp;28(e)&nbsp;of
the 1934 Act when paying such higher commissions.&#160; Research services may include research on
specific industries or companies, macroeconomic analyses, analyses of national
and international events and trends, evaluations of thinly traded securities,
computerized trading screening techniques and securities ranking services, and
general research services.&#160; Research
received from brokers or dealers is supplemental to Credit Suisse&#146;s own
research program.&#160; For the fiscal year
ended October&nbsp;31, 2009, the Fund paid no brokerage commissions to brokers
and dealers who provided such research services.</font></p>

Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;CSAMSI&#148;), Credit Suisse
Securities (USA) LLC, and other affiliates of Credit Suisse Group AG.&#160; The Fund may utilize CSAMSI or other
affiliates of Credit Suisse Group AG in connection with a purchase or sale of
securities when the Investment Adviser believes that the charge for the
transaction does not exceed usual and customary levels and when doing so is
consistent with guidelines adopted by the Board.&#160; The Fund did not pay any commissions to
affiliated broker-dealers during the fiscal years ended October&nbsp;31, 2007,
2008 and 2009, respectively.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Investment
decisions for the Fund concerning specific portfolio securities are made
independently from those for other clients advised by Credit Suisse.&#160; Such other investment clients may invest in
the same securities as the Fund.&#160; When purchases
or sales of the same security are made at substantially the same time on behalf
of such other clients, transactions are averaged as to price and available
investments allocated as to amount, in a manner which Credit Suisse believes to
be equitable to each client, including the Fund.&#160; In some instances, this investment procedure
may adversely affect the price paid or received by the Fund or the size of the
position obtained or sold for the Fund.&#160;
To the extent permitted by law, Credit Suisse may aggregate the
securities to be sold or purchased for the Fund with those to be sold or
purchased for such other investment clients in order to obtain best execution.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Transactions
for the Fund may be effected on foreign securities exchanges.&#160; In transactions for securities not actively
traded on a foreign securities exchange, the Fund will deal directly with the
dealers who make a market in the securities involved, except in those
circumstances where better prices and execution are available elsewhere.&#160; Such dealers usually are acting as principal for
their own account.&#160; On occasion, securities
may be purchased</font></p>

Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The
Fund has elected to be treated, and has qualified and intends to continue to
qualify each year, as a &#147;regulated investment company&#148; under Subchapter M of
the Code, so that it will not pay U.S. federal income tax on income and capital
gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Code, the Fund must, among other
things, (i)&nbsp;derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year
from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans,
gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign
currencies, or other income (including gains from options, futures, and forward
contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock,
securities or currencies, and net income derived from an interest in a
qualified publicly traded partnership (as defined in Section&nbsp;851(h)&nbsp;of
the Code) (the &#147;90% income test&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;diversify its holdings so that,
at the end of each quarter of each taxable year: (a)&nbsp;at least 50% of the
value of the Fund&#146;s total assets is represented by (1)&nbsp;cash and cash
items, U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment
companies, and (2)&nbsp;other securities, with such other securities limited,
in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of
the Fund&#146;s total assets and to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of such issuer and (b)&nbsp;not more than 25% of the value of the
Fund&#146;s total assets is invested in (1)&nbsp;the securities (other than U.S.
government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies)
of any one issuer, (2)&nbsp;the securities (other than securities of other
regulated investment companies) of two or more issuers that the Fund controls
and that are engaged in the same, similar, or related trades or businesses, or
(3)&nbsp;the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Although
in general the passive loss rules&nbsp;of the Code do not apply to regulated
investment companies, such rules&nbsp;do apply to a regulated investment
company with respect to items attributable to an interest in a qualified
publicly traded partnership.&#160; Fund
investments in partnerships, including in qualified publicly traded
partnerships, may result in the fund&#146;s being subject to state, local or foreign
income, franchise or withholding tax liabilities.</font></p>

the Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company and properly distributes
to its shareholders each taxable year an amount equal to or exceeding the sum
of (i)&nbsp;90% of its &#147;investment company taxable income&#148; as that term is
defined in the Code (which includes, among other things, dividends, taxable
interest, and the excess of any net short-term capital gains over net long-term
capital losses, as reduced by certain deductible expenses) without regard to
the deduction for dividends paid and (ii)&nbsp;90% of the excess of its gross
tax-exempt interest income, if any, over certain disallowed deductions, the
Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any income of
the Fund, including &#147;net capital gain&#148; (the excess of net long-term capital
gain over net short-term capital loss), distributed to shareholders. However,
if the Fund meets such distribution requirements, but chooses to retain some
portion of its taxable income or gains, it generally will be subject to U.S.
federal income tax at regular corporate rates on the amount retained. The Fund
may designate certain amounts retained as undistributed net capital gain in a
notice to its shareholders, who (i)&nbsp;will be required to include in income
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as long-term capital gain, their
proportionate shares of the undistributed amount so designated, (ii)&nbsp;will
be entitled to credit their proportionate shares of the income tax paid by the
Fund on that undistributed amount against their federal income tax liabilities
and to claim refunds to the extent such credits exceed their liabilities and
(iii)&nbsp;will be entitled to increase their tax basis, for federal income tax
purposes, in their shares by an amount equal to the excess of the amount of
undistributed net capital gain included in their respective income over their
respective income tax</font></p>

The Fund intends to distribute at least annually all or substantially all of
its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the
dividends-paid deduction), net tax-exempt interest income, and net capital
gain.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If,
for any taxable year, the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment
company or does not satisfy the 90% distribution requirement, it will be
treated as a U.S. corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax, thereby
subjecting any income earned by the Fund to tax at the corporate level and to a
further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Code imposes a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the Fund to the extent it does
not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i)&nbsp;98%
of its taxable ordinary income for that year and (ii)&nbsp;98% of its capital
gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending,
as a general rule, on October&nbsp;31 of that year.&#160; For this purpose, however, any ordinary
income or capital gain net income retained by the Fund that is subject to
corporate income tax will be considered to have been distributed by year-end.&#160; In addition, the minimum amounts that must be
distributed in any year to avoid the excise tax will be increased or decreased
to reflect any underdistribution or overdistribution, as the case may be, from
the previous year.&#160; The Fund anticipates
that it will pay such dividends and will make such distributions as are
necessary in order to avoid the application of this excise tax.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
IRS has taken the position that if a regulated investment company has two or
more classes of shares, it must designate distributions made to each class in
any year as consisting of no more than such class&#146;s proportionate share of
particular types of income, including tax-exempt interest, net capital gains,
and other income subject to federal income tax. A class&#146;s proportionate share
of a particular type of income is determined according to the percentage of
total dividends paid by the regulated investment company to such class.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Existing
authorities do not specifically address whether dividends that are paid
following the close of a taxable year, but that are treated for tax purposes as
derived from the income of such prior taxable year, are treated as dividends
paid during such prior taxable year for purposes of determining each class&#146;s
proportionate share of a particular type of income. The Fund currently intends to
treat such dividends as having been paid in the prior taxable year for purposes
of determining each class&#146;s proportionate share of a particular type of income
with respect to such prior taxable year. Existing authorities also do not
specifically address the allocation of taxable income among the dividends paid
to holders of a class of shares during or with respect to a taxable year. It is
possible that the IRS could disagree with the Fund&#146;s position concerning the
treatment of dividends paid after the close of a taxable year, in which case
the IRS could attempt to recharacterize a portion of the dividends paid and
designated by the Fund as exempt-interest dividends as consisting instead of
capital gains or other taxable income. If the IRS were to prevail with respect
to any such attempted recharacterization, holders of that class of shares could
be subject to tax on amounts so recharacterized and the Fund could be subject
to federal income and excise tax.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund declares a dividend from net investment income (excluding capital gains)
each month. Dividends are normally paid on the last business day of the month
or shortly thereafter. The Fund normally distributes any net short-term and
long-term capital gains in December. Dividends from income and/or capital gains
may also be paid at such other times as may be necessary for the Fund to avoid
U.S. federal income or excise tax.</font></p>

a shareholder specifies otherwise, all distributions from the Fund to that
shareholder will be automatically reinvested in additional full and fractional
shares of the Fund. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, all dividends from
the Fund generally are taxable whether a shareholder takes them in cash or
reinvests them in additional shares of the Fund. In general, assuming that the
Fund has sufficient earnings and profits, dividends from net investment income
that is not tax exempt and from net short-term capital gains are taxable as
ordinary income.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Recently
enacted legislation imposes a 3.8% excise tax on net investment income,

income of $200,000 or more ($250,000 if married, filing jointly) beginning in
2013.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Distributions
by the Fund in excess of the Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and
profits will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of (and in
reduction of) the shareholder&#146;s tax basis in its shares and any such amount in
excess of that basis will be treated as gain from the sale of shares, as
discussed below.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Distributions
from net capital gains, if any, that are designated as capital gain dividends
by the Fund are taxable as long-term capital gains for U.S. federal income tax
purposes without regard to the length of time the shareholder has held shares
of the Fund. Capital gain dividends distributed by the Fund to individual and
certain other noncorporate shareholders generally will qualify for reduced U.S.
federal income tax rates (currently, a maximum rate of 15%, with lower rates
applying to taxpayers in the 10% and 15% rate brackets) on long-term capital
gains, subject to certain limited exceptions. A shareholder should also be
aware that the benefits of the favorable tax rate applicable to long-term
capital gains and qualified dividend income may be affected by the application
of the alternative minimum tax to individual shareholders. Under current law,
the reduced maximum 15% U.S. federal income tax rate on qualified dividend
income and long-term capital gains will not apply in taxable years beginning
after December&nbsp;31, 2010.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Although
dividends generally will be treated as distributed when paid, any dividend
declared by the Fund in October, November&nbsp;or December&nbsp;and payable to
shareholders of record in such a month that is paid during the following
January&nbsp;will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as received
by shareholders on December&nbsp;31 of the calendar year in which it was
declared. In addition, certain other distributions made after the close of a
taxable year of the Fund may be &#147;spilled back&#148; and treated for certain purposes
as paid by the Fund during such taxable year. In such case, shareholders
generally will be treated as having received such dividends in the taxable year
in which the distributions were actually made. For purposes of calculating the
amount of a regulated investment company&#146;s undistributed income and gain
subject to the 4% excise tax described above, such &#147;spilled back&#148; dividends are
treated as paid by the regulated investment company when they are actually
paid.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For
U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund is permitted to carry forward a net
capital loss for any year to offset its capital gains, if any, for up to eight
years following the year of the loss. To the extent subsequent capital gains
are offset by such losses, they would not result in U.S. federal income tax
liability to the Fund and may not be distributed as such to shareholders. The
Fund may not carry forward any losses other than net capital losses.</font></p>

subsequent distributions by the Fund with respect to these shares from such
appreciation or gains may be taxable to such investor even if the net asset

and exchanges generally are taxable events for shareholders that are subject to
tax. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers with reference to their
individual circumstances to determine whether any particular transaction in
fund shares is properly treated as a sale for tax purposes, as the following
discussion assumes, and the tax treatment of any gains or losses recognized in
such transactions. In general, if fund shares are sold, the shareholder will recognize
gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale
and the shareholder&#146;s adjusted basis in the shares. Such gain or loss generally
will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were held for
more than one year and otherwise generally will be treated as short-term
capital gain or loss.</font></p>

a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after a sale or
other disposition of shares. In such a case, the disallowed portion of any loss
generally would be included in the U.S. federal tax basis of the shares
acquired in the other investments.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under
Treasury regulations, if a shareholder recognizes a loss with respect to fund
shares of $2 million or more for an individual shareholder, or $10 million or
more for a corporate shareholder, in any single taxable year (or of certain
greater amounts over a combination of years), the shareholder must file with
the IRS a disclosure statement on Form&nbsp;8886. Shareholders who own
portfolio securities directly are in many cases excepted from this reporting
requirement but, under current guidance, shareholders of regulated investment
companies are not excepted. A shareholder who fails to make the required
disclosure to the IRS may be subject to substantial penalties. The fact that a
loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal
determination of whether or not the taxpayer&#146;s treatment of the loss is proper.
Shareholders should consult with their tax advisers to determine the
applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Shareholders
that are exempt from U.S. federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are
qualified under Section&nbsp;401 of the Code, generally are not subject to U.S.
federal income tax on otherwise-taxable fund dividends or distributions, or on
sales or exchanges of fund shares unless the Fund shares are &#147;debt-financed
property&#148; within the meaning of the Code. However, in the case of fund shares
held through a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, fund dividends and
distributions other than exempt-interest dividends received by the plan and
sales and exchanges of fund shares by the plan generally are taxable to the
employer sponsoring such plan in accordance with the U.S. federal income tax
laws that are generally applicable to shareholders receiving such dividends or
distributions from regulated investment companies such as the Fund.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A
plan participant whose retirement plan invests in the Fund, whether such plan
is qualified or not, generally is not taxed on any fund dividends or
distributions received by the plan or on sales or exchanges of fund shares by
the plan for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, distributions to plan
participants from a retirement plan account generally are taxable as ordinary
income, and different tax treatment, including penalties on certain excess
contributions and deferrals, certain pre-retirement and post-retirement
distributions and certain prohibited transactions, is accorded to accounts
maintained as qualified retirement plans. Shareholders should consult their tax
advisers for more information.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund may invest to a significant extent in debt obligations that are in the
lowest rating categories or that are unrated, including debt obligations of
issuers not currently paying interest or that are in default. Investments in
debt obligations that are at risk of or in default present special tax issues
for the Fund. Federal income tax rules&nbsp;are not entirely clear about issues
such as when the Fund may cease to accrue interest, original issue discount or
market discount, when and to what extent deductions may be taken for bad debts
or worthless securities, how payments received on obligations in default should
be allocated between principal and interest and whether certain exchanges of
debt obligations in a workout context are taxable. These and other issues will
be addressed by the Fund, in the event it invests in or holds such securities,
in order to seek to ensure that it distributes sufficient income to preserve
its status as a regulated investment company and does not become subject to
U.S. federal income or excise tax.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If
the Fund invests in certain pay-in-kind securities, zero coupon securities,
deferred interest securities or, in general, any other securities with original
issue discount (or with market discount if the Fund elects to include market
discount in income currently), the Fund generally must accrue income on such
investments for each taxable year, which generally will be prior to the receipt
of the corresponding cash payments. However, the Fund must distribute to its
shareholders, at least annually, all or substantially all of its investment
company taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends
paid) and net tax-exempt income, including such accrued income, to qualify to
be treated as a regulated investment company under the Code and avoid U.S.
federal income and excise taxes. Therefore, the Fund may have to dispose of its
portfolio securities, potentially under disadvantageous circumstances, to
generate cash, or may have to borrow the cash, to satisfy distribution
requirements. Such a disposition of securities may potentially result in
additional taxable gain or loss to the Fund.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Options
written or purchased and futures contracts entered into by the Fund on certain
securities, indices and foreign currencies, as well as certain forward foreign
currency contracts, may cause the Fund to recognize gains or losses from
marking-to-market even though such options may not have lapsed or been closed
out or exercised, or such futures or forward contracts may not have been
performed or closed out. The tax rules&nbsp;applicable to these contracts may
affect the characterization of some capital gains and losses realized by the
Fund as long-term or short-term. Certain options, futures and forward contracts
relating to foreign currency may be subject to Section&nbsp;988 of the Code,
and accordingly may produce ordinary income or loss. Additionally, the Fund may
be required to recognize gain if an option, futures contract, forward contract,
short sale or other transaction that is not subject to the mark-to-market rules&nbsp;is
treated as a &#147;constructive sale&#148; of an &#147;appreciated financial position&#148; held by
the Fund under Section&nbsp;1259 of the Code. Any net mark-to-market gains
and/or gains from constructive sales may also have to be distributed to satisfy
the distribution requirements referred to above even though the Fund may
receive no corresponding cash amounts, possibly requiring the disposition of
portfolio securities or borrowing to obtain the necessary cash. Such a
disposition of securities may potentially result in additional taxable gain or
loss to the Fund. Losses on certain options, futures or forward contracts and/or
offsetting positions (portfolio securities or other positions with respect to
which the Fund&#146;s risk of loss is substantially diminished by one or more
options, futures or forward contracts) may also be deferred under the tax
straddle rules&nbsp;of the Code, which may also affect the characterization of
capital gains or losses from straddle positions and certain successor positions
as long-term or short-term. Certain tax elections may be available that would
enable the Fund to ameliorate some adverse effects of the tax rules&nbsp;described
in this paragraph. The tax rules&nbsp;applicable to options, futures, forward
contracts and straddles may affect the amount, timing and character of the
Fund&#146;s income and gains or losses and hence of its distributions to
shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a result of entering into
swap contracts, the Fund may make or receive periodic net payments.&#160; The Fund may also make or receive a payment
when a swap is terminated prior to maturity through an assignment of the swap
or other closing transaction.&#160; Periodic
net payments will generally constitute ordinary income or deductions, while
termination of a swap will generally result in capital gain or loss (which will
be a long-term capital gain or loss if the fund has been a party to the swap
for more than one year).&#160; With respect to
certain types of swaps, the Fund may be required to currently recognize income
or loss with respect to future payments on such swaps or may elect under
certain circumstances to mark such swaps to market annually for tax purposes as
ordinary income or loss.&#160; </font></p>



<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign
countries, including taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains with
respect to its investments in those countries. Any such taxes would, if
imposed, reduce the yield on or return from those investments. Tax conventions
between certain countries and the U.S. may reduce or eliminate such taxes in
some cases. The Fund does not expect to satisfy the requirements for passing
through to its shareholders any share of foreign taxes paid by the Fund, with
the result that shareholders will not include such taxes in their gross incomes
and will not be entitled to a tax deduction or credit for such taxes on their
own tax returns.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Fund is required to withhold (as &#147;backup withholding&#148;) a certain percentage of
reportable payments, including dividends, capital gain distributions and the
proceeds of redemptions or repurchases of fund shares paid to shareholders who
have not complied with certain IRS regulations. In order to avoid this
withholding requirement, shareholders, other than certain exempt entities, must
certify on their Account Applications, or on separate IRS Forms W-9, that the
Social Security Number or other Taxpayer Identification Number they provide is
their correct number and that they are not currently subject to backup
withholding, or that they are exempt from backup withholding. The Fund may
nevertheless be required to backup withhold if it receives notice from the IRS
or a</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
description of certain federal tax provisions above relates only to U.S.
federal income tax consequences for shareholders who are U.S. persons, i.e.,
generally, U.S. citizens or residents or U.S. corporations, partnerships,
trusts or estates, and who are subject to U.S. federal income tax and hold
their shares as capital assets. Except as otherwise provided, this description
does not address the special tax rules&nbsp;that may be applicable to
particular types of investors, such as financial institutions, insurance
companies, securities dealers, other regulated investment companies, or
tax-exempt or tax-deferred plans, accounts or entities. Investors other than
U.S. persons may be subject to different U.S. federal income tax treatment,
including a non-resident alien U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% or any
lower applicable treaty rate on amounts treated as ordinary dividends from the
Fund (other than, for taxable years of the Fund beginning on or before December&nbsp;31,
2009, certain dividends designated by the Fund as (i)&nbsp;interest-related
dividends, to the extent such dividends are derived from the Fund&#146;s &#147;qualified
net interest income,&#148; or (ii)&nbsp;short-term capital gain dividends, to the
extent such dividends are derived from the Fund&#146;s &#147;qualified short-term gain&#148;) or,
in certain circumstances, unless an effective IRS Form&nbsp;W-8BEN or other
authorized withholding certificate is on file, to backup withholding at the
rate of 28% on certain other payments from the Fund. &#147;Qualified net interest
income&#148; is the Fund&#146;s net income derived from U.S.-source interest and original
issue discount, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. &#147;Qualified
short-term gain&#148; generally means the excess of the net short-term capital gain
of the Fund for the taxable year over its net long-term capital loss, if any.
Backup withholding will not be applied to payments that have been subject to
the 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) withholding tax on shareholders who
are neither citizens nor residents of the United States. Shareholders should
consult their own tax advisers on these matters and on state, local, foreign
and other applicable tax laws.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If,
as anticipated, the Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company under the
Code, it will not be required to pay any Massachusetts income, corporate excise
or franchise taxes or any Delaware corporation income tax.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
exemption of exempt-interest dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes
does not necessarily result in exemption under the tax laws of any state or
local taxing authority, since those laws vary with respect to the taxation of
such income. Many states exempt from tax that portion of an exempt-interest
dividend which represents interest received by the Fund on that state&#146;s
securities, subject in some cases to compliance with concentration and/or
reporting requirements, which the Fund makes no commitment to seek to satisfy.
However, the Fund will report annually to its shareholders the percentage of
interest income received by the Fund during the preceding year on federally tax-exempt
obligations indicating, on a state-by-state basis only, the source of such
income. Each shareholder is advised to consult his own tax adviser regarding
the exemption, if any, of exempt-interest dividends under the state and local
tax laws applicable to the shareholder.</font></p>

state income (and possibly local income and/or intangible property) tax
exemption is generally available to the extent the Fund&#146;s distributions are
derived from interest on (or, in the case of intangible property taxes, the
value of its assets is attributable to) certain U.S. government obligations,
provided in some states that certain thresholds for holdings of such
obligations and/or reporting requirements are satisfied. The Fund will not seek
to satisfy any threshold or reporting requirements that may apply in particular
taxing jurisdictions, although the Fund may in its sole discretion provide
relevant information to shareholders.</font></p>

paper rated A-1 by Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill

regarding timely payment is strong.&#160;
Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety
characteristics are denoted with a plus sign designation.&#160; Capacity for timely payment on commercial
paper rated A-2 is satisfactory, but the relative degree of safety is not as

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
rating Prime-1 is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by Moody&#146;s
Investors Service,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;Moody&#146;s&#148;).&#160;
Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions)&nbsp;are
considered to have a superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory
obligations.&#160; Issuers rated Prime-2 (or
related supporting institutions)&nbsp;are considered to have a strong capacity
for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.&#160; This will normally be evidenced by many of
the characteristics of issuers rated Prime-1 but to a lesser degree.&#160; Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while
sound, will be more subject to variation.&#160;
Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions.&#160; Ample
alternative liquidity is maintained.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
following summarizes the ratings used by S&amp;P for corporate bonds:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">AAA
- - This is the highest rating assigned by S&amp;P to a debt obligation and
indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">AA
- - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from AAA issues only in small degree.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A
- - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher-rated categories.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">BBB
- - This is the lowest investment grade.&#160;
Debt rated BBB has an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay
principal.&#160; Although it normally exhibits
adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest
and repay principal for bonds in this category than for bonds in higher rated
categories.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">BB,
B, CCC, CC, C - Debt rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C is regarded, on balance, as
predominately speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation.&#160; BB represents a lower degree of speculation
than B and C the highest degree of speculation.&#160;
While such bonds will likely have some quality and protective
characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk
exposures to adverse conditions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">BB
- - Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues.&#160; However, they face
major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or
economic conditions, which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely
interest and principal payments.&#160; The BB
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is
assigned an actual or implied BBB rating.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">B
- - Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has the
capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments.&#160; Adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions will likely impair capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay
principal.&#160; The B rating category is also
used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied
BB or BB- rating.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">CCC
- - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default and is
dependent upon favorable business, financial and economic conditions to meet
timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.&#160; In the event of adverse business, financial
or economic conditions, it is not likely to have the capacity to pay interest
and repay principal.&#160; The CCC rating
category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an
actual or implied B or B- rating.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">CC

assigned an actual or implied CCC rating.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">C
- - This rating is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt which is
assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt rating.&#160;
The C rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy
petition has been filed, but debt service payments are continued.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Additionally,
the rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is being
paid.&#160; Such debt is rated between debt
rated C and debt rated D.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">To
provide more detailed indications of credit quality, the ratings from &#147;AA&#148; to
&#147;CCC&#148; may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative
standing within this major rating category.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">D
- - Debt rated D is in payment default.&#160;
The D rating category is used when interest payments or principal
payments are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has
not expired, unless S&amp;P believes that such payments will be made during
such grace period. &#160;The D rating also
will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if debt service payments
are jeopardized.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
following summarizes the ratings used by Moody&#146;s for corporate bonds:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Aaa
- - Bonds that are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.&#160; They carry the smallest degree of investment
risk and are generally referred to as &#147;gilt edged.&#148;&#160; Interest payments are protected by a large or
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.&#160; While the various protective elements are
likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of such issues.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Aa
- - Bonds that are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards.&#160; Together with the Aaa group
they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds.&#160; They are rated lower than the best bonds
because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or
fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be
other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger
than in Aaa securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A
- - Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
to be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations.&#160; Factors giving security to principal and
interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present which suggest a
susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Baa
- - Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, <i>i.e.</i>, they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.&#160; Interest payments and principal security
appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking
or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time.&#160; Such bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as&nbsp;well.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ba
- - Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their
future cannot be considered as well assured.&#160;
Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very
moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over
the future.&#160; Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">B
- - Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of desirable
investments.&#160; Assurance of interest and
principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any
long period of time may be small.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">AAA
- - This is the highest rating assigned by S&amp;P to a debt obligation and
indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A
- - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher-rated categories.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">BBB
- - This is the lowest investment grade.&#160;
Debt rated BBB has an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay
principal.&#160; Although adverse economic
conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened
capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in
higher rated categories.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">bonds
will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are
outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse
conditions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">BB
- - Bonds rated BB have less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues.&#160; However, they face
major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or
economic conditions, which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely
interest and principal payments.&#160; The BB
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is
assigned an actual or implied BBB rating.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">B
- - Bonds rated B have a greater vulnerability to default but currently have the
capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments.&#160; Adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions will likely impair capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay
principal.&#160; The B rating category is also
used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied
BB or BB- rating.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">CCC
- - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default and is
dependent upon favorable business, financial and economic conditions to meet
timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.&#160; In the event of adverse business, financial
or economic conditions, it is not likely to have the capacity to pay interest
and repay principal.&#160; The CCC rating
category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an
actual or implied B or B- rating.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">CC
- - This rating is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt that is
assigned an actual or implied CCC rating.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">C
- - This rating is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt which is
assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt rating.&#160;
The C rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition
has been filed, but debt service payments are continued.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Additionally,
the rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is being
paid.&#160; Such debt is rated between debt
rated C and debt rated D.</font></p>

provide more detailed indications of credit quality, the ratings from &#147;AA&#148; to
&#147;CCC&#148; may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative
standing within this major rating category.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">D
- - Debt rated D is in payment default.&#160;
The D rating category is used when interest payments or principal
payments are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has
not expired, unless S&amp;P believes that such payments will be made during
such grace period.&#160; The D rating also
will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if debt service payments
are jeopardized.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
following summarizes the highest four municipal ratings used by Moody&#146;s:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Aaa
- - Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.&#160; They carry the smallest degree of investment
risk and are generally referred to as &#147;gilt edge.&#148;&#160; Interest payments are protected by a large or
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.&#160; While the various protective elements are
likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of such issues.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Aa
- - Bonds which are rated as Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards.&#160; Together with the Aaa group
they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds.&#160; They are rated lower than the best bonds
because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or
fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be
other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger
than in Aaa securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A
- - Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
to be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations.&#160; Factors giving security to principal and
interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present which suggest a
susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Baa
- - Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, <i>i.e.</i>, they are neither highly protected nor poorly
secured.&#160; Interest payments and principal
security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be
lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
time.&#160; Such bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ba
- - Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their
future cannot be considered as well assured.&#160;
Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very
moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over
the future.&#160; Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">B
- - Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of desirable
investments.&#160; Assurance of interest and
principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any
long period of time may be small.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Note:&#160; Those
bonds in the Aa, A, Baa, Ba and B groups which Moody&#146;s believes possess the
strongest investment attributes are designated by the symbols Aa1, A1, Baa1,
Ba1, and B1.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Caa
- - Bonds that are rated Caa are of poor standing.&#160; These issues may be in default or present
elements of danger may exist with respect to principal or interest.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ca
- - Bonds which are rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a
high degree.&#160; Such issues are often in
default or have other marked shortcomings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">C

rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.</font></p>

Management Department, a member of the Legal and Compliance Department, and a
member of the Operations Department (or their designees).&#160; The purpose of the Proxy Voting Committee is
to administer the voting of all clients&#146; proxies in accordance with the

review the Policy annually to ensure that it is designed to promote the best
interests of Credit Suisse&#146;s clients.</font></p>

Committee has engaged the services of an independent third party (initially,

analysis and vote recommendation for proxy proposals.&#160; Proxy proposals addressed by the Policy will
be voted in accordance with the Policy.&#160;
Proxy proposals addressed by the Policy that require a case-by-case
analysis will be voted in accordance with the vote recommendation of ISS.&#160; Proxy proposals not addressed by the Policy
will also be voted in accordance with the vote recommendation of ISS.&#160; To the extent that the Proxy Voting Committee
proposes to deviate from the Policy or the ISS vote recommendation, the
Committee shall obtain client consent as described below.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant
to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Registrant, the Registrant has
agreed to indemnify its trustees and officers against any liabilities and
expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or
as fines and penalties, and reasonable counsel fees reasonably incurred by such
indemnitee in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or
other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative
or investigative body in which he may be or may have been involved as a party
or otherwise or with which he may be or may have been threatened, while acting
his capacity as officer or trustee of the Registrant by reason of his having
acted in any such capacity, except with respect to any matter as to which he
shall not have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was
in the best interest of the Registrant or, in the case of any criminal
proceeding, as to which he shall have had reasonable cause to believe that the
conduct was unlawful, provided, however, that no indemnitee shall be
indemnified thereunder against any liability to any person or any expense of
such indemnitee arising by reason of (i)&nbsp;willful misfeasance, (ii)&nbsp;bad
faith, (iii)&nbsp;gross negligence, or (iv)&nbsp;reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of his position.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer,
or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the Shares being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Dear
Shareholder:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">You
are entitled to exercise the Rights issued to you as of September&nbsp;13, 2010,
the Record Date for the Offer, to subscribe for the number of common shares of
beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share (the &#147;Shares&#148;), of Credit
Suisse High Yield Bond Fund (the &#147;Fund&#148;) shown on this Subscription Certificate
pursuant to the Primary Subscription upon the terms and conditions specified in
the Fund&#146;s prospectus, dated September&nbsp;[</font><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">], 2010 (the &#147;Prospectus&#148;). The terms and conditions
of the Offer set forth in the Prospectus are incorporated by reference herein.
Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings attributed to them in
the Prospectus. As a Rightholder, you are entitled to purchase one Share for
each three Rights you exercise. If you hold less than three Rights, you are
entitled to subscribe for one Share. In accordance with the Over-Subscription
Privilege, if you are a Record Date Shareholder and have fully exercised all
Rights issued to you (other than those Rights that cannot be exercised because
they represent the right to acquire less than one Share), you also are entitled
to subscribe for Primary Subscription Shares, subject to certain limitations
and subject to allotment, which were not otherwise subscribed for by other
Rightholders through the Primary Subscription, as well as, in certain
instances, Additional Shares.&#160; To the
extent that sufficient Primary Subscription Shares are not available to honor
all over-subscription requests, unsubscribed Primary Subscription Shares will
be allocated pro rata among those fully exercising Record Date Shareholders who
over-subscribe based on the number of Rights originally issued to them by the
Fund.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, in the event
that the Fund&#146;s per share net asset value on the Expiration Date is equal to or
less than the Subscription Price, the Fund may determine to issue additional
common shares of beneficial interest up to an amount equal to 25% of the
Primary Subscription Shares (up to an additional [</font><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">] common shares of beneficial interest) (the &#147;Additional
Shares&#148;) to satisfy over-subscription requests. Should the Fund determine to
issue some or all of the Additional Shares, they will be allocated only among
Record Date Shareholders who submitted over-subscription requests. Additional
Shares will be allocated pro rata among those fully exercising Record Date
Shareholders who over-subscribe based on the number of Rights originally issued
to them by the Fund.</font></p>
