    The Board consists of eight Directors, seven of whom are not
    &#147;interested persons&#148; of the Fund (as defined in the
    Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;1940
    Act&#148;)). 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, Anthonie
    C. van Ekris, 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&#146;s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until
    their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each of the
    Directors of the Fund has served in that capacity since the
    June&#160;5, 1989 organizational meeting of the Fund with the
    exception of Mr.&#160;Colavita, who became a Director of the
    Fund on November&#160;15, 1989, Mr.&#160;Zizza, who became a
    Director of the Fund on April&#160;24, 1991, Mr. van Ekris, who
    became a Director of the Fund on February&#160;11, 1992, and
    Dr.&#160;Roeder, who became a Director of the Fund on
    August&#160;15, 2001. All of the Directors of the Fund are also
    directors or trustees of other investment companies for which
    Gabelli Funds, LLC (the &#147;Adviser&#148;) or its affiliates
    serve as investment adviser. The classes of Directors are
    indicated below:

    Under the Fund&#146;s Articles of Amendment and Restatement,
    Articles&#160;Supplementary, and the 1940 Act, holders of the
    Fund&#146;s outstanding Preferred Stock, voting as a separate
    class, are entitled to elect two Directors, and holders of the
    Fund&#146;s outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting
    together as a single class, are entitled to elect the remaining
    Directors. The holders of the Fund&#146;s outstanding Preferred
    Stock would be entitled to elect the minimum number of
    additional Directors that would represent a majority of the
    Directors in the event that dividends on the Fund&#146;s
    Preferred Stock are in arrears for two full years. No dividend
    arrearages exist as of the date of this Proxy Statement.
    Mr.&#160;Colavita and Dr.&#160;Roeder are currently the
    Directors elected solely by the holders of the Fund&#146;s
    Preferred Stock. Mr. Colavita is a nominee for election as
    Director at the Meeting to be elected solely by the holders of
    the Fund&#146;s Preferred Stock. A quorum of the Preferred
    Stockholders must be present in person or by proxy at the
    Meeting in order for the proposal to elect Mr.&#160;Colavita to
    be considered. Dr.&#160;Roeder&#146;s term as Director is
    scheduled to expire at the Fund&#146;s 2013 Annual Meeting of
    Shareholders, and therefore he is not standing for election at
    this Meeting.

    The Board believes that each Director&#146;s experience,
    qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and
    in combination with those of other Directors lead to the
    conclusion that each Director should serve in such capacity.
    Among the attributes or skills common to all Directors are their
    ability to review critically and to evaluate, question and
    discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively
    with the other Directors, the Adviser, the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">sub-administrator,</FONT>
    other service providers, counsel and the Fund&#146;s independent
    registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective and
    independent business judgment in the performance of their duties
    as Directors. Each Director&#146;s ability to perform his/her
    duties effectively has been attained in large part through the
    Director&#146;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 Gabelli/GAMCO
    Fund&#160;Complex, public companies, or non-profit entities, or
    other organizations as set forth above and below. Each
    Director&#146;s ability to perform his/her duties effectively

    Overall responsibility for general oversight of the Fund rests
    with the Board. The Board has appointed Mr.&#160;Pustorino as
    the lead independent Director. The lead independent Director
    presides over executive sessions of the Directors and also
    serves between meetings of the Board as a liaison with service
    providers, officers, counsel, and other Directors on a wide
    variety of matters including scheduling agenda items for Board
    meetings. Designation as such does not impose on the lead
    independent Director any obligations or standards greater than
    or different from other Directors. 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 a 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
    pricing committees related to securities offerings by the Fund,
    to address specific matters, or assigns one of its members to
    work with directors or trustees of other funds in the
    Gabelli/GAMCO Fund&#160;Complex on special committees or working
    groups that address complex-wide matters, such as the multi-fund

    The Fund&#146;s operations entail a variety of risks, including
    investment, administration, valuation, and a range of compliance
    matters. Although the Adviser, the

    and the officers of the Fund are responsible for managing these
    risks on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">day-to-day</FONT>
    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&#146;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&#146;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&#146;s and such
    providers&#146; compliance programs. The Board&#146;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&#146;s risk management from time to time and may make

    The Board has determined that its leadership structure is
    appropriate for the Fund because it enables 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,

    The role of the Fund&#146;s Audit Committee is to assist the
    Board of Directors in its oversight of (i)&#160;the quality and
    integrity of the Fund&#146;s financial statement reporting
    process and the independent audit and reviews thereof;
    (ii)&#160;the Fund&#146;s accounting and financial reporting
    policies and practices, its internal controls, and, as
    appropriate, the internal controls of certain of its service
    providers; (iii)&#160;the Fund&#146;s compliance with legal and
    regulatory requirements; and (iv)&#160;the independent
    registered public accounting firm&#146;s qualifications,
    independence, and performance. The Audit Committee also is
    required to prepare an audit committee report pursuant to the
    rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
    &#147;SEC&#148;) for inclusion in the Fund&#146;s annual proxy
    statement. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to the Audit
    Committee Charter (the &#147;Audit Charter&#148;) that was most
    recently reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on
    February&#160;15, 2011. The Audit Charter is available on the

    Pursuant to the Audit Charter, the Audit Committee is
    responsible for conferring with the Fund&#146;s independent

    statements, approving the selection of the Fund&#146;s
    independent registered public accounting firm, and overseeing
    the Fund&#146;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 (&#147;PricewaterhouseCoopers&#148;)
    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&#146;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
    Directors and to the Audit Committee, as representatives of

    made by management or the Fund&#146;s independent registered

    audit of the Fund&#146;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

    Services Provider&#148;), 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&#146;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&#146;s
    pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than the
    Adviser or the Fund&#146;s officers). Pre-approval by the Audit
    Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required
    so long as: (i)&#160;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)&#160;the permissible non-audit services were not recognized
    by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit
    services; and (iii)&#160;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&#160;31, 2009 and
    December&#160;31, 2010 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
