    inauguration in late February 2008, however, disappointment
    arose as the new administration failed to disclose concrete
    blueprints for its much anticipated market-friendly reform. The
    ruling GNP did come away with majority seats in the
    parliamentary elections in April 2008, but only by a thin
    margin, as public sentiment had turned sour following the
    president&#146;s appointments of government officials that some
    thought were &#147;biased&#148;. Also, the president faced
    fierce push back from the public on his actions regarding the US
    Free Trade Agreement. Millions of demonstrators came to the
    streets to protest the import of US beef which led to violence
    spurred by various labor unions. As an apologetic gesture, many
    of the cabinet members and presidential advisors were replaced
    in June. Prior to, and just after his inauguration,
    Mr.&#160;Lee&#146;s policies were more focused on growth,
    targeting 6-7% GDP growth this year.</FONT><!-- /FONT#008 -->

    <FONT style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times"><!-- FONT#010 -->During
    the second half of 2007, we maintained our portfolio strategy of
    having overweight positions in the industrials sector with more
    focus on the construction area. This paired well with the rise
    in the construction sector on expectations of policy reversals
    by the new government to revive the ailing real estate market.
    Our underweight in consumer discretionary, materials and
    utilities in the second half of 2007 also contributed to the
    Fund&#146;s performance. On the other hand, our underweight
    stance in the telecom sector was negative to the Fund&#146;s
    performance in during this period. However, we would like to

    <FONT style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times"><!-- FONT#010 -->In
    the first half of 2008, as the market transitioned to an
    on-going bear market we increased our position in consumer
    staples where earnings are more resilient in a downturn market,
    while maintaining an overweight in industrials. Our overweight
    position in industrials with a focus on construction helped the
    Fund&#146;s performance until the sector suffered significant
    dip in the second quarter of 2008. Our neutral position in
    financials also turned out to be positive for our performance
    thanks to our stock selection, including Shinhan Financial
    Group, although the whole sector underperformed the market. Our
    underweight position in the consumer discretionary sector
    detracted from our performance the most, as we had no direct
    exposure to stocks of exporters like Hyundai Motors who
    benefited from favourable foreign exchange movements. Also,
    during the first half of 2008, underweights in materials and
    utilities sectors did not work well, resulting in subtraction of
    the Fund&#146;s performance. However, we&#146;d like to
    highlight that POSCO remained a top contributor despite sector
    underweight.</FONT><!-- /FONT#008 -->

    In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
    Interpretation No.&#160;48, &#147;Accounting for Uncertainty in
    Income Taxes&#160;&#151; an Interpretation of FASB Statement
    No.&#160;109&#148; (the &#147;Interpretation&#148;). The
    Interpretation establishes for all entities, including
    pass-through entities such as the Fund, a minimum threshold for
    financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions
    taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is
    taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain
    expanded tax disclosures. The Fund adopted the provisions of the
    Interpretation on July&#160;1, 2007. Fund management has
    determined that its evaluation of the Interpretation has
    resulted in no material impact to the Fund&#146;s financial
    statements at June&#160;30, 2008.

    In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
    issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
    (&#147;SFAS&#148;) 157, Fair Value Measurements, which clarifies
    the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand
    their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets
    and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to
    initial recognition. Adoption of SFAS&#160;157 requires the use
    of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
    transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
    participants at the measurement date. SFAS&#160;157 is effective
    for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
    November&#160;15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
    years. Fund management is in process of reviewing SFAS&#160;157

    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which
    market quotations are readily available are stated at market
    value. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for
    which market quotations are not readily available or if a
    development/event occurs that may significantly impact the
    value, are fair-valued, in good faith, by the Board of Directors
    or persons at the Board&#146;s direction pursuant to guidelines
    established by the Board of Directors. The Fund&#146;s
    investments are valued daily and the net asset value
    (&#147;NAV&#148;) is calculated as of the close of regular
    trading (normally 4:00&#160;p.m.&#160;Eastern time) on the New
    York Stock Exchange (&#147;NYSE&#148;) on each day the NYSE is
    open for business using prices supplied by dealer quotations, or
    by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary
    market for such securities, or the last quoted mean price for
    those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the
    primary market or for listed securities in which there were no
    sales. With respect to Korean equity securities, the Fund fair
    values its securities daily using modeling tools provided by a
    statistical research service. This service utilizes statistics
    and programs based on historical performance of markets and
    other economic data (which may include changes in the value of
    U.S.&#160;securities or security indices). Short-term securities
    maturing in 60&#160;days or less are valued at amortized cost,
    if their original term to maturity was 60&#160;days or less, or
    by amortizing their value on the 61st&#160;day prior to
    maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded
    60&#160;days. The prices used by the Fund to value securities
    may differ from the value that would be realized if the
    securities were sold and the differences could be material to
    the financial statements.

    Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date net of
    foreign withholding taxes. Korean-based corporations have
    generally adopted calendar year-ends, and their interim and
    final corporate actions are normally approved, finalized and
    announced by their boards of directors and stockholders in the
    first and third quarters of each calendar year. Generally,
    estimates of their dividends are accrued by management on the
    ex-dividend date principally in the prior December

    June period ends. These dividend announcements are recorded by
    the Fund on such ex-dividend dates. Any subsequent adjustments
    thereto by Korean corporations are recorded when announced.
    Presently, dividend income from Korean equity investments is
    earned primarily in the last calendar quarter of each year, and
    will be received primarily in the first calendar quarter of each
    year. Certain other dividends and related withholding taxes, if
    applicable, from Korean securities may be recorded subsequent to
    the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such
    dividends and taxes.

    The Foreign Exchange Transaction Act, the Presidential Decree
    relating to such Act and the regulations of the Minister of
    Finance and Economy issued thereunder impose certain limitations
    and controls which generally affect foreign investors in Korea.
    Through August&#160;18, 2005, the Fund had a license from the
    Ministry of Finance and Economy to invest in Korean securities
    and to repatriate income received from dividends and interest
    earned on, and net realized capital gains from, its investments
    in Korean securities or to repatriate from investment principal
    up to 10% of the net asset value (taken at current value) of the
    Fund (except upon termination of the Fund, or for expenses in
    excess of Fund income, in which case the foregoing restriction
    shall not apply). Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act,
    the Minister of Finance and Economy has the power, with prior
    public notice of scope and duration, to suspend all or a part of
    foreign exchange transactions when emergency measures are deemed
    necessary in case of radical change in the international or

    The Fund had engaged in negotiations with the Korean Ministry of
    Finance and Economy concerning the feasibility of the
    Fund&#146;s license being amended to allow the Fund to
    repatriate more than 10% of Fund capital. However, the Ministry
    of Finance and Economy advised the Fund that the license cannot

    a result of the relinquishment of the license, the Fund is
    subject to the Korean securities transaction tax equal to 0.3%
    of the fair market value of any portfolio securities transferred
    by the Fund on the Korea Exchange and 0.5% of the fair market
    value of any portfolio securities transferred outside of the

    market value of investments and other assets and liabilities

    exchange rate at the end of the period; and (2)&#160;purchases

    The Fund does not generally isolate that portion of the results
    of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign
    currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from
    changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such
    foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and
    unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the Fund does
    isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
    rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or
    maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations
    pursuant to U.S.&#160;federal income tax regulations; such
    amount is categorized as foreign currency gain or loss for both
    financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

    The Fund may engage in securities lending. The loans are secured
    by collateral at least equal, at all times, to the market value

    will continue to receive any dividends or amounts equivalent

    Securities lending income is disclosed as such in the Statement

    is invested in securities identified in the Schedule of

    Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the
    lender securities identical to the loaned securities. The Fund

    Investing in the Korean market may involve special risks and
    considerations not typically associated with investing in the
    United States of America. These risks include revaluation of
    currency, high rates of inflation, Korean taxes, repatriation

    future adverse political, social and economic developments.
    Moreover, securities issued in this market may be less liquid

    repurchases may be made at such time and in such amounts as the
    Fund&#146;s Investment Manager believes will further the
    achievements of the Fund&#146;s objectives. The Board revised
    the share repurchase program at the Fund&#146;s October&#160;24,
    2007 Board meeting. Under the new share repurchase program the
    Fund&#146;s Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser monitor the
    Fund&#146;s discount weekly and if the Fund&#146;s daily average
    discount during the preceding 20 business days exceeds a certain
    threshold as determined by the Board from time to time, a
    meeting of the Buyback Committee is convened. The Buyback
    Committee is comprised of three Independent Directors, the
    Fund&#146;s President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, and
    Secretary and the Director of Closed-End Funds of the
    Sub-Administrator. The Buyback Committee, once convened, is
    responsible for deciding whether to implement a share
    repurchase. The Fund did not repurchase any shares under this
    program during the years ended June&#160;30, 2008 and
    June&#160;30, 2007.

    In June and September 2004, the Sub-Administrator, certain of
    its affiliates (including Allianz Global Investors Distributors
    LLC, PEA Capital LLC (&#147;PEA&#148;) and Allianz Global
    Investors of America L.P. agreed to settle, without admitting or
    denying the allegations, claims brought by the Securities and
    Exchange Commission and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging
    violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to
    certain open-end funds for which the Sub-Administrator serves as
    investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged
    &#147;market timing&#148; arrangement in certain open-end funds
    formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Sub-Administrator and its
    affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68&#160;million to settle
    the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling
    parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance,
    compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing, and
    consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to
    these events, PEA Capital LLC deregistered and dissolved. None
    of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took
    place with respect to the Fund.

    In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and
    liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the
    related statement of operations and of changes in net assets and
    the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
    respects, the financial position of The Korea Fund, Inc.
    (hereafter referred to as the &#147;Fund&#148;) at June&#160;30,
    2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the
    changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the
    period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
    five years in the period then ended, in conformity with
    accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
    America. These financial statements and financial highlights
    (hereafter referred to as &#147;financial statements&#148;) are
    the responsibility of the Fund&#146;s management; our
    responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
    statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these
    financial statements in accordance with the standards of the
    Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
    standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
    reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
    free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
    test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
    the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
    used and significant estimates made by management, and
    evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
    believe that our audit, which included confirmation of
    securities at June&#160;30, 2008 by correspondence with the
    custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our
    opinion.

    The Fund&#146;s Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan
    (the &#147;Plan&#148;) offers you an automatic way to reinvest
    your dividends and capital gains distributions in shares of the

    of $100 to $3,000 semiannually through PNC Global Investment
    Servicing (the &#147;Plan Agent&#148;). The Plan Agent also
    provides record keeping services for participants in the Plan.

    payment date or, if that date is not a New York Stock Exchange
    trading date, the next preceding trading date. If the net asset
    value exceeds the market price of Fund shares at such time, the
    Plan Agent will use the dividend or distribution (less each
    participant&#146;s pro rata share of brokerage commissions) to
    buy Fund shares in the open market for the participants&#146;
    account. Such purchases will be made on or shortly after the
    payment date for such dividend or distribution, and in no event
    more than 45&#160;days after such date except where temporary
    curtailment or suspension of purchase is necessary to comply
    with federal securities law. In either case, for Federal income
    tax purposes, the stockholder receives a distribution equal to
    the market value on the Valuation Date of new shares issued.
    State and local taxes may also apply. If the Fund should declare
    an income dividend or net capital gains distribution payable
    only in cash, the Plan Agent will, as agent for the
    participants, buy Fund shares in the open market, on the New
    York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the participants&#146;

    Participants in the Plan have the option of making additional
    cash payments to the Plan Agent, semiannually, in any amount

    The Plan Agent will use all such monies received from

    about February 15 and August&#160;15. Any voluntary cash
    payments received more than 30&#160;days prior to these dates
    will be returned by the Plan Agent, and interest will not be
    paid on any uninvested cash payments. To avoid unnecessary cash
    accumulations, and also to allow ample time for receipt and
    processing by the Plan Agent, it is suggested that participants
    send in voluntary cash payments to be received by the Plan Agent
    approximately ten days before February&#160;15, or
    August&#160;15, as the case may be. A participant may withdraw a
    voluntary cash payment by written notice, if the notice is

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As RCM AP has outsourced the proxy voting to a third party service provider (the &#147;Proxy
Specialist&#148;). The following describes the standards and procedures applied in the proxy voting
process.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The voting of all proxies is conducted by the Proxy Specialist in consultation with a Proxy
Committee (which may consist of Analysts, Portfolio Managers, the Proxy Specialist, Client Services
personnel and Legal Counsel). The Proxy Specialist performs the initial review of the proxy
statement, third-party proxy research provided by Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (ISS),
and other relevant material, and makes a vote decision in accordance with the local Proxy Voting
Guidelines. In situations where the Proxy Voting Guidelines do not give clear guidance on an issue,
the Proxy Specialist will, at his or her discretion, consult the Analyst or Portfolio Manager
and/or the Proxy Committee. In the event that an Analyst or Portfolio Manager wishes to override
the Guidelines, the proposal will be presented to the Proxy Committee for a final decision.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A third-party proxy voting service, ISS is retained to assist in processing proxy votes in
accordance with vote decisions. ISS is responsible for notifying all upcoming meetings, providing a
proxy analysis and vote recommendation for each proposal, verifying that all proxies are received,
and contacting custodian banks to request missing proxies. ISS sends the proxy vote instructions
provided by the Proxy Voting Committees to the appropriate tabulator. ISS provides holdings
reconciliation reports on a monthly basis, and vote summary reports for clients on a quarterly or
annual basis. Each Proxy Voting Committee keeps proxy materials used in the vote process on site
for at least one year. Thereafter, Proxy Voting Committee materials will be kept in accordance
with documentation retention policy.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Each Proxy Committee shall review various criteria to determine whether the costs associated with
voting the proxy exceeds the expected benefit to its clients and may conduct a cost-benefit
analysis in determining whether it is in the best economic interest to vote client proxies. Given
the outcome of the cost-benefit analysis, the proxy committee may refrain from voting a proxy on
behalf of the clients&#146; accounts.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition, RCM AP may refrain from voting a proxy due to logistical considerations that may have
a detrimental effect on RCM AP&#146;s ability to vote such a proxy. These issues may include, but are
not limited to: 1) proxy statements and ballots being written in a foreign language, 2) untimely
notice of a shareholder meeting, 3) requirements to vote proxies in person, 4) restrictions on
foreigner&#146;s ability to exercise votes, 5) restrictions on the sale of securities for a period of
time in proximity to the shareholder meeting, or 6) requirements to provide local agents with power
of attorney to facilitate the voting instructions. Such proxies are voted on a best-efforts basis.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Resolving Conflicts of Interest</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">RCM AP and each voting affiliate may have conflicts that can affect how it votes its clients&#146;
proxies. For example, one entity may manage a pension plan whose management is sponsoring a proxy
proposal. That entity may also be faced with clients having conflicting views on the
appropriate manner of exercising shareholder voting rights in general or in specific situations.
Accordingly, they may reach different voting decisions for different clients. Regardless, votes
shall only be cast in the best interest of the client affected by the shareholder right. For this
reason, no vote cast for one client&#146;s account may be voted by, designed to benefit or accommodate
any other client.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In order to ensure that all material conflicts of interest are addressed appropriately while
carrying out its obligation to vote proxies, each Proxy Committee shall be responsible for
addressing how their entities resolve such material conflicts of interest with its clients and have
it documented to maintain an accurate audit trail.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Although the RCM Asia Pacific Limited (&#147;RCM AP&#148;) Code of Ethics does not address every possible
circumstance that could give rise to a conflict of interest, a potential conflict of interest, or
an appearance of impropriety, it provides guidance with respect to many common types of situations.
Whether or not a specific provision of the Code applies, RCM AP requires that each employee
conducts his or her activities in accordance with the general principles embodied in the Code of
Ethics, and in a manner that is designed to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or
any abuse of an individual&#146;s position of trust and responsibility. Technical compliance with the
procedures incorporated in the Code of Ethics will not insulate actions that contravene an
employee&#146;s duties to RCM AP and its clients from scrutiny. RCM AP instructs each employee to
consider whether a particular action might give rise to an appearance of impropriety, even if the
action itself is consistent with the employee&#146;s duties to RCM AP and its clients and to always be
alert for potential conflicts of interest.
</DIV>



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%"><B><I>Conflicts of Interest:</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%"><B><I>i) Basis of sharing expenses among clients</I></B>. RCM and RCM AP charges competitive rates for
managing our clients&#146; assets. Fees vary depending on the particular types of portfolios
managed, clients, and respective size of the client&#146;s portfolios under our management. In
this regard, providing services to some types of portfolios and clients require additional
resources, and RCM and RCM AP&#146;s fee structure is designed, in part, to address these
differences. RCM and RCM AP utilizes the revenue received from the fees it&#146;s clients pay to
support the investment, research, operations, and business requirements needed to provide
its clients with the overall results that they expect.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%"><B><I>ii) Possible advantages, including economies of scale, and disadvantages in having a manger
that has other clients. </I></B>RCM and RCM AP generally realizes economies of scale with every new
account managed. This allows us to manage assets charging competitive management fees.
Having many clients with a wide variety of mandates offered to them also helps to ensure RCM
and RCM AP&#146;s viability as a business and thus significantly contributes to our ability to
attract and retain top quality investment professionals. There are few if any real
disadvantages of RCM and RCM AP having a broad client base. For
example, while the aggregation of our clients&#146; trades may result in any one of our client&#146;s
orders taking longer to execute, we believe that over time the aggregation of orders
enhances the quality of our clients&#146; executions, and lowers the brokerage commissions
charged to them.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%"><B><I>iii) RCM&#146;s own investment and possible conflicts of interest</I></B>: Like other advisers RCM and
RCMAP face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing accounts with
different fee structures and accounts where RCM and RCM AP, or its employees&#146;, money has
been invested. More specifically, the management of accounts with different advisory fee
rates and/or fee structures, including accounts that pay advisory fees based on account
performance (&#147;performance fee accounts&#148;), may raise potential conflicts of interest by
creating an incentive to favor higher-fee accounts. In addition, RCM has invested seed
capital in several portfolios managed by RCM and RCM&#146;s employees have invested in certain
portfolios also managed by the firm. The same incentive to favor accounts that pay
potentially higher fees exists with these accounts where RCM provides seed capital or RCM&#146;s
employees have direct investment. The potential conflicts of interest that arise out of
these arrangements include, among others:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">RCM and RCM AP have adopted compliance policies and procedures that address these potential
conflicts of interest. These policies and procedures are designed so that over time, subject
to individual client guidelines or trade restrictions, all accounts are treated fairly and
equitably. These procedures include, but are not limited to, RCM and RCM AP&#146;s trade
aggregation and allocation procedures, IPO allocation procedures, code of ethics and gifts
and entertainment policies.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>(a) (3)</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As of June&nbsp;30, 2008, the following explains the compensation structure of the individuals that have
the primary responsibility for day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">RCM offers a compensation package comprising a base salary of 12 regular payments and an annual,
variable bonus. In the case of our portfolio managers, specific criteria are set. The reward
process places emphasis on both the contribution of the individual and that of the team in which he
or she works. We recognize that to achieve stability within the team and therefore of the
investment process, it is necessary to provide a remuneration package in line with our peers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">While base salaries are designed to be competitive based on market conditions, the bonus is
designed to reflect a range of factors relating to the contribution to team investment performance
over one, two and three-year rolling periods, thus avoiding the temptation to take short-term
decisions. It is a central element of the compensation structure and allows professionals to share
in the success achieved for clients. To recognize individual contribution while encouraging team
effort, the bonus is divided into several elements. This rewards each individual based on
investment performance and equally emphasizes the &#147;team effort&#148; which is a hallmark of the firm.
Our total remuneration package is based on the belief that top-quartile performance warrants
top-quartile rewards.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">RCM&#146;s incentive and compensation policy is that all our investment professionals are given clear
investment oriented goals annually. This process is managed through an annual in depth, 360-degree
review of their investment performance, their team performance, which combines investment
performance and asset growth, their personal performance, which assesses intra and extra-team
cooperation, personal development and skills, general conduct and behavior as well as an interim
verbal review which reviews the milestones set at the fuller review at the end of the year. Within
the two traditional types of client, institutional and retail, the former performance is usually
against a benchmark and the latter are against median competitors. These reports are calculated
separately and audited separately by our Global Head of Performance and Risk to ensure fair play
and honesty.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Although the reports are available monthly, the performance of individuals and teams is formally
monitored quarterly in a review which is chaired by the regional CIO, attended by both the Global
CIO and the Global Head of Performance and Risk. All team leaders attend and all significant
performance and investment process issues are discussed and debated there.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">RCM has a transparent incentivisation process. All investment professionals are remunerated with a
competitive salary which reflects their experience and duties within the organization and is
externally verified against the McLagan remuneration series. Cash compensations (bonus)&nbsp;are a
combination of the conclusions of the Annual Appraisal and the longevity of their performance
record. The McLagan series also allows the performance to be evaluated appropriately against peers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">It is important to note that this process is entirely driven bottom up by the team leaders who are
empowered to evaluate and remunerate their teams as they see fit. However the team leaders have to
justify their recommendations to the regional CIO who in turn surveys all proposals to ensure
correct cross-team remuneration levels and who then has to advocate the group&#146;s requests to the
Management Executive Committees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">RCM operates a discretionary &#145;Long Term Incentive Plan&#146; (LTIP). Long Term Cash Bonus Plan (&#147;the
Plan&#148;) has been established to provide long-term incentives and rewards to certain senior
professionals of RCM Asia Pacific Limited (&#148;RCM AP&#148;) and the other Allianz Global Investors Group
(&#147;AllianzGI&#148;) companies in order to promote their long-term growth and profitability. Ultimately
Andreas Utermann (Global CIO) in conjunction with the regional RCM CIOs decides who is put forward
for the LTIP. In a general sense they want this to be as wide across the investor base as possible
though the level and extent of participation will vary according to seniority and performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The LTIP provides awards on a rolling three-year basis that are based on the operating earnings
growth of AllianzGI, RCM globally and RCM AP, or the relevant local RCM entity. As neither RCM nor
AllianzGI are listed these awards are made in the form of cash which over three years appreciates
in line with the percentage change in the aggregate operating earnings of the three components
above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the three-year plan the notional amount, which is allocated annually appreciates in line
with the percentage change in the Group&#146;s aggregate operating earnings (up to a maximum of 70%).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At the end of the three-year period the resulting amount is multiplied by a &#145;company performance
multiple&#146; which reflects the earnings of RCM globally and RCM AP. RCM AP&#146;s achievements are
weighted 70% and RCM globally 30%. This is the same for all of the regional offices.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The LTIP forms part of most RCM investment professionals&#146; total remuneration. The other two
elements are basic salary and a discretionary bonus. Basic salaries are matched using the relevant
local McLagan and other industry surveys. In the instance of the discretionary bonus this is tied
to the individual&#146;s performance on a 1- and 3-year basis, weighted toward the latter (25%/75%).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Regarding additional compensation, we offer our employees an Employee Purchase Program for Allianz
SE shares once a year.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">II. COVERED PERSONS SHOULD HANDLE ETHICALLY ANY ACTUAL OR APPARENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">OVERVIEW. A &#147;conflict of interest&#148; occurs when a Covered Person&#146;s private interest interferes with
the interests of, or his service to, the relevant Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would
arise if a Covered Person, or a member of the Covered Person&#146;s family, receives improper personal
benefits as a result of the Covered Person&#146;s position with the relevant Fund.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Persons and the
relevant Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions and procedures in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (including the regulations thereunder, the &#147;1940 Act&#148;) and the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (including the regulations thereunder, the &#147;Investment Advisers
Act&#148;). Indeed, conflicts of interest are endemic for certain registered management investment
companies and those conflicts are both substantially and procedurally dealt with under the 1940
Act. For example, Covered Persons may not engage in certain transactions with a Fund because of
their status as &#147;affiliated persons&#148; of such Fund. The compliance program of each Fund and the
compliance programs of its investment advisers (including sub-advisers), principal underwriter and
administrator or sub -administrator (each a &#147;Service Provider&#148; and, collectively, the &#147;Service
Providers&#148;) are reasonably designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of many of
those provisions, although they are not designed to provide absolute assurance as to those matters.
This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and
such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code. See also Section&nbsp;V of this Code.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise
from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between a Fund and its Service Providers of
which the Covered Persons are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that
the Covered Persons will, in the normal course of their duties (whether for the Funds or for a
Service Provider, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions
that will have different effects on the Service Providers and the Funds. The participation of the
Covered Persons in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationships between the Funds
and their Service Providers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Persons of their
duties as officers of the relevant Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of
the 1940 Act, the Investment Advisers Act, other applicable law and the relevant Fund&#146;s
constitutional documents, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically.
Frequently, the 1940 Act establishes, as a mechanism for dealing with conflicts, disclosure to and
approval by the Directors/Trustees of a Fund who are not &#147;interested persons&#148; of such Fund under
the 1940 Act. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds&#146; Boards of Directors/Trustees (&#147;Boards&#148;)
that the Covered Persons may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment
companies covered by this or other codes and that such service, by itself, does not give rise to a
conflict of interest.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not the
subject of provisions of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides
examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Persons should bear in mind that
these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Person should not be placed improperly before
the interest of the relevant Fund, unless the personal interest has been disclosed to and approved
