<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">In addition to the
solicitation of proxies by mail, officers of the Fund and officers and regular employees of Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (&ldquo;Computershare&rdquo;),
the Fund&rsquo;s transfer agent, and affiliates of Computershare or other representatives of the Fund may also solicit proxies
by telephone, Internet, or in person. In addition, the Fund has retained Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies

incurred in connection with preparing, printing, and mailing the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and/or Proxy
Statement and its enclosures. If requested, the Fund will also reimburse brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding

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

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>

of six 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. Anthony J. Colavita and Salvatore J. Zizza have each been nominated
by the Board for election to serve for a three year term to expire at the Fund&rsquo;s 2020 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 April 21,
2004 organizational meeting of the Fund. 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>

Shares, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the remaining Trustees. The holders of the Fund&rsquo;s outstanding
Preferred Shares would be entitled to elect the minimum number of additional Trustees that would represent a majority of the Trustees
in the event that dividends on the Fund&rsquo;s Preferred Shares become in arrears for two full years and until all arrearages
are eliminated. No dividend arrearages exist as of the date of this Proxy Statement. Messrs. Colavita and Conn are currently the
Trustees elected solely by the holders of the Fund&rsquo;s Preferred Shares. Mr. Conn&rsquo;s term as a Trustee is scheduled to
expire at the Fund&rsquo;s 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and therefore he is not standing for election at this Meeting.
A quorum of the Preferred Shareholders must be present in person or by proxy at the Meeting in order for the proposal to elect
Mr.&nbsp;Colavita to be considered.</P>

of the nominees named above. Each nominee has indicated that he has consented to serve as a Trustee if elected at the Meeting.
If, however, a designated nominee declines or otherwise becomes unavailable for election, the proxy confers discretionary power
on the persons named therein to vote in favor of a substitute nominee or nominees. Each nominee is qualified to serve as a Trustee
under the Fund&rsquo;s governing documents.</P>

that each Trustee&rsquo;s experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those
of other Trustees lead to the conclusion that each Trustee should serve in such capacity. Among the attributes or skills 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 his education,
professional training, and other experience.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">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; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">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; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">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 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>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">The 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: 0.25in">In performing its
oversight function, at a meeting held on February 21, 2017, 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, 2016,
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: 0.25in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">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; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">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; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">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 Fund&rsquo;s 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>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">Based 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 discussed above,
the Audit Committee recommended to the Fund&rsquo;s Board of Trustees that the Fund&rsquo;s audited financial statements be included
in the Fund&rsquo;s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.</P>

the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. 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; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">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'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's outstanding shares or
specified levels of interest in registered investment companies. The Fund'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>

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>

Charter requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered

(&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, 2015 and December 31, 2016 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.</P>

Proposal 1 is a &ldquo;routine&rdquo; matter and accordingly beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do
