Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act, and the rules thereunder, the Fund's officers and Trustees, persons owning more than 10% of the Fund's shares of beneficial interest and certain additional persons are required to report their transactions in the Fund's shares of beneficial interest to the SEC, and the Fund.

With respect to BNYM Investment Adviser, a Form 3 was filed on October 12, 2021, and with respect to Mr. Skapyak, a Form 3 was filed on September 27, 2021 each of which reflected that BNYM Investment Adviser and Mr. Skapyak, as applicable, did not own any of the Fund's shares of beneficial interest.
