</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">* 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 of a security, are fair-valued, in good
faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of
Directors or persons acting at their discretion 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 p.m. 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. For Korean equity
securities (with rare exceptions), 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. securities or security indices). Short-term securities maturing in 60&nbsp;days or less
are valued at amortized
cost, if their original term to maturity was 60&nbsp;days or less, or by amortizing their value on the
61st day prior to maturity,
if the original term to maturity exceeded 60&nbsp;days. Investments initially valued in currencies
other than U.S. dollar are
converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the
NAV of the Fund&#146;s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The
value of securities traded
in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may
be affected
significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and the NAV may change on days when an investor is
not able to
purchase or sell shares. The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value
that would be realized
if the securities were sold and these differences could be material.

Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;157, &#147;Fair Value Measurements&#148; (&#147;SFAS 157&#148;).
This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a
framework
for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of the fair value
measurements.
Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to
transfer a liability (i.e. the &#147;exit price&#148;) in an orderly transaction between market
participants. The
three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
