    <FONT style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times">Looking back
    over the past 12&#160;months from July 2008 to June 2009, we
    have seen Korean equity markets battle through an extremely
    difficult market situation in the wake of the collapse of global
    financial institutions. In July 2008, the market positioned
    itself for a cautious second half of the year as a result of the
    continued instability in US financial markets. However, the
    scope of the financial crisis triggered by the Lehman
    Brothers&#146; bankruptcy in September 2008 was far greater than
    general market expectation. Korean equity markets plummeted as
    panicked investors took capital from the country. Nonetheless,
    Korean stocks recovered quickly from their lows, helped by
    prompt and aggressive policy measures. In this annual review, we
    will split the review period in two halves to discuss market
    performance given the dramatic changes that occurred between the
    second half of 2008 and the first half of 2009.

    <FONT style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times">In the
    second half of 2008, the Korean stock market was heavily
    punished as panicked foreign investors continued to sell as the
    global financial crisis accelerated. This capital exodus also
    triggered a free fall in the local currency, thus worsening
    market performance. The sharpest fall in the stock market
    happened in October, when the failures of major institutions
    outside Korea coincided with growing uncertainty over the
    prospects for the local economy. In October, the KOSPI was down
    by 23.1%, and slipped below the psychologically important 1,000
    level. Mounting concerns regarding the country&#146;s short-term
    external debt position, its current account deficit, and
    unprecedented difficulties in short-term USD financing
    contributed to extreme volatility in the KOSPI and the Won
    during October and November. The volatility in financial markets
    during the second half of 2008 reflected an element of panic.
    The market rebounded dramatically shortly after the Korean
    Government finalized a foreign exchange swap with the US Federal
    Reserve and remained resilient until the end of the year.

    <FONT style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times">The net
    result was that the KOSPI fell 32.85% (1124.47) in local
    currency terms during the second half of 2008. In USD terms, the
    correction was even more pronounced at -45.72% with the Korean
    Won sharply depreciating against the USD by almost 24%. Due to
    the local currency weakness Korea was one of the worst
    performing markets in the region in the second half of 2008
    compared to Tokyo (-22.12%), Hong Kong (-33.4%), Taiwan
    (-40.1%), and Singapore (-42%). From a sector perspective,
    banks, construction, and machinery sectors pulled down the index
    most. The technology and telecommunications sectors fared
    relatively well in the falling market.

    exhaustion of selling pressure and secondly amid aggressive
    policy responses by the Korean Government and the Bank of Korea.
    Consequently, the KOSPI rose 23.64% in KRW terms and 25.89% in

    the first contraction since the 1998 Asian crisis. The
    contraction was mostly driven by the collapse in export figures

    countries<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: top">1</SUP>,

    which account for 34% of Korea&#146;s total exports, declined

    sharply, due to falling oil prices and depressed domestic demand.

    <FONT style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times">In response
    to the sharp contraction, the Korean Government and the Bank of
    Korea (BoK) instituted aggressive policy measures. From October
    2008 to February 2009, the BoK cut interest rates six times to
    2%, in line with the collective efforts of global monetary
    easing policies. Whilst the BoK was more focused on improving
    liquidity conditions and containing downside risks to economic
    growth until February 2009, it changed course in the second
    quarter of 2009 to control the creeping inflation risk. In terms
    of fiscal policy, the Korean Government has been extremely
    proactive as well. With the additional budget bill approved in
    April 2009, Korea will spend a total KRW65 trillion or 7% of GDP
    in 2009 to boost the economy. The proposed measures range from
    liquidity support, job creation, tax reduction, and
    infrastructure projects along with various other deregulations
    and are expected to boost Korean GDP by at least 0.5%. As such,
    the Ministry of Knowledge and Finance recently increased
    Korea&#146;s 2009 GDP forecast to -1.5% from a previous -2%.

    value of the investment at the beginning of the year and
    expressing the result as a percentage. The calculation assumes
    that all income dividends and capital gain distributions have
    been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker
    commissions in connection with the purchase or sales of Fund
    shares. Total return for a period of more than one year
    represents the average annual return.

    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which
    market quotations are readily available are stated at market
    value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last
    reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on
    quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established
    market makers, or independent pricing services. Portfolio
    securities and other financial instruments for which market
    quotations are not readily available or for which 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 procedures 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.
    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

    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.&#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. Investments initially valued in
    currencies other than the U.S.&#160;dollar are converted to the
    U.S.&#160;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.&#160;dollar. The value of securities traded in markets
    outside the United States or denominated in currencies other
    than the U.S.&#160;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 to the financial statements.

    Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis net of foreign
    withholding taxes. Realized gains and losses on investments are
    recorded on the identified cost basis. 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 shareholders in the first and third quarters of
    each calendar year. Generally, estimates of their dividends are
    accrued on the ex-dividend date principally in the prior
    December
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">and/or</FONT> 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.

    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

    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
    restrictions on income and capital, corporate bankruptcy and
    future adverse political, social and economic developments.
    Moreover, securities issued in this market may be less liquid,
    subject to government ownership controls, delayed settlements
    and their prices more volatile than those of comparable
    securities in the United States.

    securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which
    the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Sub-Administrator</FONT>
    serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an
    alleged &#147;market timing&#148; arrangement in certain
    open-end funds formerly
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">sub-advised</FONT>
    by PEA. The
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Sub-Administrator</FONT>

    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 deregistered as an investment
    adviser and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any
    inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.

    Since February 2004, the Sub-Administrator, AGI, PEA, AGID and
    certain of their employees have been named as defendants in
    eleven lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions, which have been
    transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a
    multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S.&#160;District
    Court for the District of Maryland. The lawsuits generally
    relate to the same allegations that are the subject of the
    regulatory proceedings discussed above. The lawsuits seek, on
    behalf of fund shareholders or the funds themselves, among other
    things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in
    some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment
    advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those
    contracts, restitution and waiver of or return of certain sales
    charges paid by fund shareholders.

    In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and
    liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the
    related statements 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. (the
    &#147;Fund&#148;) at June&#160;30, 2009, 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, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and
    brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    Since the Fund&#146;s tax year is not the calendar year, another
    notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2009. In
    January 2010, stockholders will be advised on IRS Form&#160;1099
    DIV as to the federal tax status of the dividends and
    distributions received during calendar 2009. The amount that
    will be reported will be the amount to use on your 2009 federal
    income tax return and may differ from the amount which must be
    reported in connection with the Fund&#146;s tax year ended
    June&#160;30, 2009. Stockholders are advised to consult their
    tax advisers as to the federal, state and local tax status of
    the dividend income received from the Fund.

    (the &#147;Plan&#148;) offers you an automatic way to reinvest
    your dividends and capital gains distributions in shares of the
    Fund. The Plan also provides for cash investments in Fund shares
    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.
    If you would like a copy of the Plan, please call the Plan Agent

    Each stockholder of record is automatically a participant in the
    Plan unless the stockholder has instructed the Plan Agent in
    writing otherwise. Such a notice must be received by the Plan
    Agent not less than 10&#160;days prior to the record date for a
    dividend or distribution in order to be effective with respect
    to that dividend or distribution. A notice which is not received
    by that time will be effective only with respect to subsequent
    dividends and distributions. Stockholders who do not participate
    in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check
    in dollars mailed directly to the stockholder by the Plan Agent,
    as dividend paying agent.

    If the market price per share on the payment date for the
    dividend or distribution (the &#147;Valuation Date&#148;) equals
    or exceeds net asset value per share on that date, the Fund will
    issue (i)&#160;shares of the Fund&#146;s common stock that are
    issued but not outstanding (&#147;Treasury Stock&#148;) to the
    extent shares of Treasury Stock are available, and then
    (ii)&#160;to the extent shares of Treasury Stock are not
    available, newly issued shares of the Fund&#146;s common stock
    to participants at the greater of the following on the Valuation
    Date: (a)&#160;net asset value or (b)&#160;95% of the market
    price. The Valuation Date will be the dividend or distribution
    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
    from $100 to $3,000, for investment in the Fund&#146;s shares.
    The Plan Agent will use all such monies received from
    participants to purchase Fund shares in the open market on or
    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
    received by the Plan Agent not less than 48&#160;hours before
    such payment is to be invested.

</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: 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

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.

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 align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%"><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.

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

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 style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition, our compensation system is designed such that it supports our corporate values and
culture; while we acknowledge the importance of financial incentives and we seek to pay top
quartile for top quartile performance, we also believe that compensation is only one of a number of
critically important elements to allow the emergence of a strong, winning culture that attracts, retains and motivates
talented investors and teams.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The primary components of our compensation system are base salary, an annual cash incentive payment
(bonus), and a Long Term Incentive Plan Award (LTIPA). We strive to provide our people with a
competitive overall package in which we conduct ongoing research to ensure each component as well
as total compensation is ahead of, or in line with market levels, and takes into account their
performance, experience and potential. While the bonus is a cash payment driven by achievements of
the individual and the business relative to set goals, the LTIPA has as its key value driver the
overall growth in our operating results and thus offers our senior professionals participation in
the growth of our business medium term.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Base salary typically reflects scope, responsibilities and experience required in a particular
role, be it on the investment side or any other function in our company. Base compensation is
regularly reviewed against peers with the help of compensation survey data as well as special
competitor analysis, where necessary. Base compensation typically is a bigger percentage of total
compensation for more junior positions while for the most senior roles it will be a much smaller
component often even capped at certain levels and only adjusted every few years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Bonus compensation is designed to primarily reflect the achievements of an individual against set
goals and over a certain time period. For an investment professional these goals will typically be
70% quantitative and 30% qualitative, the former reflecting investment performance over a
three-year rolling time period (calculated as one-year plus three year results at 25% and 75%
weighting) and the latter reflecting contributions to broader team goals, contributions made to
client review meetings, to product development or product refinement initiatives. Portfolio
managers have their performance metric aligned with the benchmarks of the client portfolios they
manage. Analysts at RCM have their quantitative goals aligned with the universe of stocks they
cover using Starmine as the measurement tool and where they are managing sector portfolios they
will have a piece of their metric structured the same way as is the case with portfolio managers.
Finally, for traders, their quantitative metric is structured around the quality of execution again
using external benchmarking. Our regional CIOs as well as the global CIO have the same 70%
quantitative/30% qualitative metric as their team members with the 70% determined by the asset
weighted performance against respective benchmarks of all the portfolios under their supervision.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The goal of LTIPA as the non-cash, longer term incentive portion of the compensation system, is to
strengthen further the alignment between our clients, senior professionals as well as our corporate
parent. This is achieved by the program having a three year time horizon and a valuation metric
which is driven by the overall performance of operating results at the level of RCM as well as
Allianz Global Investors, our parent. LTIPA is awarded annually &#151; for senior professionals it
typically amounts to between 20-30&nbsp;percent of total compensation &#151; and pays in cash after three
years, with the value determined as a multiple of the initial award and growth in operating
results. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is expected that a senior professional will have
at all times at least one year of total compensation invested in three tranches of LTIPA. In terms
of the criteria driving the specific allocation amounts, they are typically similar to the ones
driving bonus; however, more emphasis is given to entrepreneurial initiatives, to achievements
above and beyond the &#147;normal&#148; scope of the role and the deferred nature of the awards also allows
to emphasise the longer term nature of many of the projects critical for us to deliver for clients
on a sustainable basis.

<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

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 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 by other officers of such Fund or such Fund&#146;s
Independent Trustees.
