the proxy is properly executed and returned in time to be voted at the Meeting, the shares represented thereby will be voted &ldquo;FOR&rdquo;
the election of the nominees as Trustees as described in this Proxy Statement, unless instructions to the contrary are marked thereon,
and at the discretion of the proxy holders as to the transaction of any other business that may properly come before the Meeting.
Any shareholder who has submitted a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise either by attending the

&ldquo;quorum&rdquo; is required in order to transact business at the Meeting. A quorum of shareholders is constituted by the presence
in person or by proxy of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. In the
event a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or in the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve
any of the proposed items are not received, the chairperson of the Meeting may propose one or more adjournments of such Meeting
to permit further solicitation of proxies. If a quorum is present, a shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals
in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received for approval and it is otherwise appropriate.
If a quorum is present, the persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote &ldquo;FOR&rdquo;
any proposal in favor of such adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted &ldquo;AGAINST&rdquo; any proposal against
any such adjournment. Absent the establishment of a subsequent record date and the giving of notice to the holders of record thereon,
the adjourned meeting must take place not more than 130 days after the record date. At such adjourned meeting, any business may
be transacted which might have been transacted at the original Meeting. The Fund may postpone or cancel a meeting of shareholders,
and if it does the Fund will make a public announcement of such postponement or cancellation prior to the meeting. The postponed
meeting may not be held more than 130 days after the initial record date.</P>

Board consists of nine Trustees, all of whom are not &ldquo;interested persons&rdquo; of the Fund (as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &ldquo;1940 Act&rdquo;)). The Fund divides the Board into three classes, each class having
a term of three years. Each year the term of office of one class will expire. James P. Conn, Vincent D. Enright, and Kuni Nakamura
have each been nominated by the Board for election to serve for a three year term to expire at the Fund&rsquo;s 2019 Annual Meeting
of Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each of the Trustees of the Fund has served in that capacity
since the August 20, 2008 organizational meeting of the Fund with the exception of Mr. Heitmann, who became a Trustee of the Fund
on May 25, 2011. All of the Trustees of the Fund are also directors or trustees of other investment companies for which Gabelli
Funds, LLC (the &ldquo;Adviser&rdquo;) or its affiliates serve as investment adviser. The classes of Trustees are indicated below:</P>

common to all Trustees are their ability to review critically and to evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them,
to interact effectively with the other Trustees, the Adviser, the sub-administrator, other service providers, counsel and the Fund&rsquo;s
independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective and independent business judgment in the performance of
their duties as Trustees. Each Trustee&rsquo;s ability to perform his/her duties effectively has been attained in large part through
the Trustee&rsquo;s business, consulting, or public service positions and through experience from service as a member of the Board
and one or more of the other funds in the Fund Complex, public companies, or non-profit entities, or other organizations as set
forth above and below. Each Trustee&rsquo;s ability to perform his duties effectively also has been enhanced by education, professional
training, and other experience.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 1pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">Overall
responsibility for general oversight of the Fund rests with the Board. The Board does not have a Chairman. The Board has appointed
Mr. Conn as the Lead Independent Trustee. The Lead Independent Trustee presides over executive sessions of the Trustees and also
serves between meetings of the Board as a liaison with service providers, officers, counsel, and other Trustees on a wide variety
of matters including scheduling agenda items for Board meetings. Designation as such does not impose on the Lead Independent Trustee
any obligations or standards greater than or different from other Trustees. The Board has established a Nominating Committee and
an Audit Committee to assist the Board in the oversight of the management and affairs of the Fund. The Board also has an <I>ad
hoc</I> Proxy Voting Committee that exercises beneficial ownership responsibilities on behalf of the Fund in selected situations.
From time to time, the Board establishes additional committees or informal working groups, such as an <I>ad hoc</I> Pricing Committee
related to securities offerings by the Fund to address specific matters, or assigns one of its members to work with Trustees or
directors of other funds in the Fund Complex on special committees or working groups that address fund complex-wide matters, such
as the multi-fund <I>ad hoc</I> Compensation Committee relating to the compensation of the Chief Compliance Officer for all the
funds in the Fund Complex, and a separate multi-fund <I>ad hoc</I> Compensation Committee relating to the compensation of certain
other officers of the closed-end funds in the Fund Complex.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 1pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">All
of the Fund&rsquo;s Trustees are Independent Trustees, and the Board believes it is able to provide effective oversight of the
Fund&rsquo;s service providers. In addition to providing feedback and direction during Board meetings, the Independent Trustees
meet regularly in executive session and chair all committees of the Board.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">The
Fund&rsquo;s operations entail a variety of risks, including investment, administration, valuation, and a range of compliance matters.
Although the Adviser, the sub-administrator, and the officers of the Fund are responsible for managing these risks on a day to
day basis within the framework of their established risk management functions, the Board also addresses risk management of the
Fund through its meetings and those of the committees and working groups. As part of its general oversight, the Board reviews with
the Adviser at Board meetings the levels and types of risks, including options risk being undertaken by the Fund, and the Audit
Committee discusses the Fund&rsquo;s risk management and controls with the independent registered public accounting firm engaged
by the Fund. The Board reviews valuation policies and procedures and the valuations of specific illiquid securities. The Board
also receives periodic reports from the Fund&rsquo;s Chief Compliance Officer regarding compliance matters relating to the Fund
and its major service providers, including results of the implementation and testing of the Fund&rsquo;s and such providers&rsquo;
compliance programs. The Board&rsquo;s oversight function is facilitated by management reporting processes designed to provide
visibility to the Board regarding the identification, assessment, and management of critical risks, and the controls and policies
and procedures used to mitigate those risks. The Board reviews its role in supervising the Fund&rsquo;s risk management from time
to time and may make changes at its discretion at any time.</P>

Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate for the Fund because it enables the Board to exercise informed
and independent judgment over matters under its purview, allocates responsibility among committees in a manner that fosters effective
oversight, and allows the Board to devote appropriate resources to specific issues in a flexible manner as they arise. The Board
periodically reviews its leadership structure as well as its overall structure, composition, and functioning, and may make changes
at its discretion at any time.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">The
role of the Fund&rsquo;s Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Trustees in its oversight of (i) the quality and integrity of
the Fund&rsquo;s financial statement reporting process and the independent audit and reviews thereof; (ii) the Fund&rsquo;s accounting
and financial reporting policies and practices, its internal controls, and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain of
its service providers; (iii) the Fund&rsquo;s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and (iv) the independent registered
public accounting firm&rsquo;s qualifications, independence, and performance. The Audit Committee also is required to prepare an
audit committee report pursuant to the rules of the SEC for inclusion in the Fund&rsquo;s annual proxy statement. The Audit Committee
operates pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter (the &ldquo;Audit Charter&rdquo;) that was most recently reviewed and approved
by the Board of Trustees on February 24, 2016. The Audit Charter is available in the Closed-End Funds &ndash; Corporate Governance
section on the Fund&rsquo;s website at www.gabelli.com.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">Pursuant
to the Audit Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for conferring with the Fund&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting
firm, reviewing annual financial statements, approving the selection of the Fund&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting
firm, and overseeing the Fund&rsquo;s internal controls. The Audit Charter also contains provisions relating to the pre-approval
by the Audit Committee of audit and non-audit services to be provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (&ldquo;PricewaterhouseCoopers&rdquo;),
the Fund&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, to the Fund and to
the Adviser and certain of its affiliates. The Audit Committee advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing, and
financial matters affecting the Fund. As set forth in the Audit Charter, management is responsible for maintaining appropriate
systems for accounting and internal control, and the Fund&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible
for planning and carrying out proper audits and reviews. The independent registered public accounting firm is ultimately accountable
to the Board of Trustees and to the Audit Committee, as representatives of shareholders. The independent registered public accounting
firm for the Fund reports directly to the Audit Committee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">In
performing its oversight function, at a meeting held on February 22, 2016, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management
of the Fund and PricewaterhouseCoopers the audited financial statements of the Fund as of and for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2015, and the conduct of the audit of such financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">In
addition, the Audit Committee discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers the accounting principles applied by the Fund and such other
matters brought to the attention of the Audit Committee by PricewaterhouseCoopers as required by Auditing Standard No. 16, as amended
(AICPAAU-C Section 260), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (&ldquo;PCAOB&rdquo;). The
Audit Committee also received from PricewaterhouseCoopers the written disclosures and statements required by the SEC&rsquo;s independence
rules, delineating relationships between PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Fund, and discussed the impact that any such relationships
might have on the objectivity and independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the independent registered public accounting firm.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">As
set forth above, and as more fully set forth in the Audit Charter, the Audit Committee has significant duties and powers in its
oversight role with respect to the Fund&rsquo;s financial reporting procedures, internal control systems, and the independent audit
process.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.5pt; color: #231F20">The
members of the Audit Committee are not, and do not represent themselves to be, professionally engaged in the practice of auditing
or accounting and are not employed by the Fund for accounting, financial management, or internal control purposes. Moreover, the
Audit Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by management
or the Fund&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee&rsquo;s oversight does not
provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and/or financial reporting principles
and policies, or internal controls and procedures, designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws
and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee&rsquo;s considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance
that the audit of the Fund&rsquo;s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB or that
the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (United States).</P>

on its consideration of the audited financial statements and the discussions referred to above with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers,
and subject to the limitations on the responsibilities and role of the Audit Committee set forth in the Audit Charter and those

Audit Committee met two times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The Audit Committee is composed of four of the Fund&rsquo;s
Independent Trustees, Messrs. Enright, Fahrenkopf, Heitmann, and Zizza. The Fund has certified that each member of the Audit Committee
is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including those of the Fund. Mr. Heitmann has been designated
as the Fund&rsquo;s audit committee financial expert, as defined in Items 407(d)(5)(ii) and (iii) of Regulation S-K (the &ldquo;Audit

Board of Trustees has a Nominating Committee composed of three of the Fund&rsquo;s Independent Trustees, Messrs. Colavita (Chairman),
Melarkey, and Zizza. Each Nominating Committee member is an Independent Trustee as determined under guidelines of the NYSE. The
Nominating Committee met once during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying
and recommending qualified candidates to the Board in the event that a position is vacated or created. In considering candidates
submitted by shareholders, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board, the qualifications of
the candidate, and the interests of shareholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">The
Nominating Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a Trustee of the Fund are that the individual demonstrate,
by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful contribution to the Board of Trustees&rsquo;
oversight of the business and affairs of the Fund and have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical conduct in
both his or her professional and personal activities. In addition, the Nominating Committee examines a candidate&rsquo;s specific
experiences and skills, time availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of interest, and independence from
management and the Fund. The Fund has adopted specific Trustee qualification requirements that can be found in the Fund&rsquo;s
governing documents and are applicable to all individuals who may be nominated, elected, appointed, qualified or seated to serve
as Trustees. The qualification requirements include: (i) age limits (at least 21 years of age and such maximum age as the Trustees
may in the future determine); (ii) prohibitions regarding any legal disability; (iii) limits on service on other boards; (iv) restrictions
on relationships with investment advisers other than the Fund&rsquo;s adviser; and (v) character and fitness requirements. Additionally,
each Independent Trustee must not be an &ldquo;interested person&rdquo; of the Fund as defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940
Act and may not be or have certain relationships with a shareholder beneficially owning five percent or more of the Fund&rsquo;s
outstanding shares or specified levels of interest in registered investment companies. The Fund&rsquo;s By-Laws also provide that
a majority of the Trustees then in office may determine by resolution that a failure to satisfy a particular qualification requirement
will not present undue conflicts or impede the ability of the candidate to discharge the duties of a Trustee or the free flow of
information among Trustees or between the Fund&rsquo;s adviser and the Board. Reference is made to the Fund's governing documents
for more details.</P>

Nominating Committee also considers the overall composition of the Board, bearing in mind the benefits that may be derived from
having members who have a variety of experiences, qualifications, attributes, or skills useful in overseeing a publicly traded,
highly regulated entity such as the Fund. The Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of
diversity in identifying trustee candidates. For a discussion of experiences, qualifications, attributes, or skills supporting
the appropriateness of each Trustee&rsquo;s service on the Fund&rsquo;s Board, see the biographical information of the Trustees
above in the section entitled &ldquo;Information about Trustees and Officers.&rdquo;</P>

Fund&rsquo;s Audit Charter requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the
independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund, and all non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered
public accounting firm to the Fund&rsquo;s Adviser and service providers controlling, controlled by, or under common control with
the Fund&rsquo;s Adviser (&ldquo;affiliates&rdquo;) that provide ongoing services to the Fund (a &ldquo;Covered Services Provider&rdquo;),
if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Audit Committee may delegate its
responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and the
Chairman must report his decision(s) to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the Chairman&rsquo;s
pre-approval of such services. The Audit Committee may also establish detailed pre-approval policies and procedures for pre-approval
of such services in accordance with applicable laws, including the delegation of some or all of the Audit Committee&rsquo;s pre-approval
responsibilities to other persons (other than the Adviser or the Fund&rsquo;s officers). Pre-approval by the Audit Committee of
any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services
provided to the Fund, the Adviser, and any Covered Services Provider constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues
paid by the Fund to its independent registered public accounting firm during the year in which the permissible non-audit services
are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit
services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Committee
or the Chairman prior to the completion of the audit. All of the audit, audit related, and tax services described above for which
PricewaterhouseCoopers billed the Fund fees for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 were pre-approved
by the Audit Committee.</P>

16(a) of the 1934 Act and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act, and the rules thereunder, require the Fund&rsquo;s executive officers
and Trustees, executive officers and directors of the Adviser, certain other affiliated persons of the Adviser, and persons who
own more than 10% of a registered class of the Fund&rsquo;s securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with
the SEC and the NYSE and to furnish the Fund with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on the Fund&rsquo;s
review of the copies of such forms it received, if any, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the Fund believes that during
that year such persons complied with all such applicable filing requirements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 1pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">For
purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, abstentions (or &ldquo;withheld votes&rdquo;
with respect to the election of Trustees) and broker &ldquo;non-votes&rdquo; (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating
that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular
matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present
but that have not been voted. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to forward their voting instructions promptly.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 20.45pt; color: #231F20">Because
the Fund requires a plurality of votes to elect each nominee for Trustee, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be
counted as votes cast, but will have no effect on the result of the vote. Abstentions and any broker non-votes, however, will be
considered to be present at the Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.</P>

holding shares of the Fund in &ldquo;street name&rdquo; for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions
of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on Proposal 1 before the Meeting. Under the rules of the NYSE, such brokers
may, for certain &ldquo;routine&rdquo; matters, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated by the Board to vote if
no instructions have been received from their customers and clients prior to the date specified in the brokers&rsquo; request for
voting instructions. Proposal 1 is a &ldquo;routine&rdquo; matter and accordingly beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions
or who do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of Proposal 1. A properly executed
proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner&rsquo;s shares
should be voted on Proposal 1 may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the proposal.</P>
