Fund&#8217;s investments are selected by its investment adviser, Gabelli Funds, LLC (the &#8220;Investment Adviser&#8221;). The
Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. Under normal
circumstances the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that are convertible into or represent the right
to acquire common stock, and in other debt or equity securities that are expected to periodically accrue or generate income for
their holders (the &#8220;80% Policy&#8221;). The Fund may invest without limit in securities rated below investment grade by
recognized statistical rating agencies or unrated securities of comparable quality, including securities of issuers in default,
which are likely to have the lowest rating; provided, however, that it is expected that not more than 50% of the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio will consist of securities rated CCC or lower by S&amp;P or Caa or lower by Moody&#8217;s or, if unrated, are of comparable
quality as determined by the Investment Adviser, and the Fund&#8217;s investments in securities of issuers in default will be
limited to not more than 5% of the total assets of the Fund. Securities rated below investment grade, which may be preferred shares
or debt, are predominantly speculative and involve major risk exposure to adverse conditions. Securities that are rated lower
than &#8220;BBB&#8221; by S&amp;P, or lower than &#8220;Baa&#8221; by Moody&#8217;s or unrated securities considered by the Investment
Adviser to be of comparable quality, are commonly referred to as &#8220;junk bonds&#8221; or &#8220;high yield&#8221; securities.</span></p>

assets that are selling in the public market at a discount to their private market value. The Investment Adviser defines private
market value as the value informed purchasers are willing to pay to acquire assets with similar characteristics. The Investment
Adviser also normally evaluates an issuer&#8217;s free cash flow and long-term earnings trends. Finally, the Investment Adviser
looks for a catalyst, something indigenous to the company, its industry or country that will surface additional value.</span></td></tr>

        Share Distributions. </i>In order to allow its common shareholders to realize a predictable, but not assured, level of
        cash flow and some liquidity periodically on their investment without having to sell shares, the Fund has adopted a managed
        distribution policy of paying, on a quarterly basis, a minimum annual distribution of 8% of the average net asset value
        of the Fund within a calendar year or an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal
        Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#8220;Code&#8221;), to maintain its status as a &#8220;regulated investment company&#8221;
        under Subchapter M of the Code (&#8220;RIC&#8221;) and avoid paying U.S. federal excise tax, whichever is greater. The
        average net asset value of the Fund is based on the average net asset values as of the last day of the four preceding
        calendar quarters during the year. The Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any taxable income that
        it distributes to shareholders, provided that at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for that taxable year
        is distributed to its shareholders. See &#8220;Taxation&#8221; in the Prospectus.</span></p>

the Fund&#8217;s distribution policy, the Fund declares and pays quarterly distributions from net investment income, capital gains,
and paid-in capital. The actual source of the distribution is determined after the end of the year. If the Fund does not generate
sufficient earnings (dividends and interest income and realized net capital gain) equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions
paid by the Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund&#8217;s earnings would be deemed a return
of capital to the extent of the shareholder&#8217;s tax basis in the shares (reducing the basis accordingly) and as capital gains
thereafter. Since a return of capital is considered a return of a portion of a shareholder&#8217;s original investment, it is
generally not taxable and is treated as a reduction in the shareholder&#8217;s cost basis, thereby increasing the shareholder&#8217;s
potential taxable gain or reducing the potential taxable loss on the sale of the shares. In determining the extent to which a
distribution will be treated as being made from the Fund&#8217;s earnings and profits, earnings and profits will be allocated
on a pro rata basis first to distributions with respect to preferred shares, and then to the Fund&#8217;s common shares.&#160;</span></p></td></tr>

the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023, the Fund made distributions of $0.36 per common share, approximately $0.18 of which
constituted a return of capital. During the fiscal period ended March 31, 2024, the Fund made distribution of $0.24 per common
share, approximately $0.24 of which constituted a return of capital. When the Fund makes distributions consisting of returns of
capital, such distributions may further decrease the Fund&#8217;s total assets and, therefore have the likely effect of increasing
the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio as the Fund&#8217;s fixed expenses will become a larger percentage of the Fund&#8217;s average
net assets. In addition, in order to make such distributions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio
at a time when independent investment judgment may not dictate such action. These effects could have a negative impact on the
prices investors receive when they sell shares of the Fund.</span></p>

        Funds, LLC serves as the Fund&#8217;s investment adviser and is compensated for its services and its related expenses
        at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund&#8217;s average daily net assets including the liquidation value of preferred shares.
        Net assets does not include amounts attributable to liabilities constituting indebtedness. Therefore, the Fund will pay
        an advisory fee on any assets attributable to leverage it uses. The Investment Adviser is responsible for administration
        of the Fund and currently utilizes and pays the fees of a third party administrator. The fee paid by the Fund may be higher

        the investment advisory fees are based on a percentage of total assets, which includes assets attributable to the Fund&#8217;s

        input it provides to the Board regarding whether to use or increase the Fund&#8217;s use of leverage and/or derivative
        transactions. The Board bases its decision, with input from the Investment Adviser, regarding whether and how much leverage
        to use for the Fund on its assessment of whether such use of leverage is in the best interest of the Fund. The Board seeks
        to manage the Investment Adviser&#8217;s potential conflict of interest by retaining the final decision on these matters
        and by periodically reviewing the Fund&#8217;s performance and use of leverage.</span></p>

Investment Adviser expects that it will initially invest the proceeds of the offering in high quality short term debt securities
and instruments. The Investment Adviser anticipates that the investment of the proceeds will be made in accordance with the Fund&#8217;s
investment objective and policies as appropriate investment opportunities are identified, which is expected to substantially be
completed within three months; however, changes in market conditions could result in the Fund&#8217;s anticipated investment period
extending to as long as six months. This could occur if market conditions are unstable to such an extent that the Investment Adviser
believes market risk is greater than the benefit of making additional investments at that time. Depending on market conditions
and operations, a portion of the cash held by the Fund, including any proceeds raised from the offering to be identified in any
relevant Prospectus Supplement, may be used to pay distributions in accordance with the Fund&#8217;s distribution policy. Such
distribution may include a return of capital and should not be considered as dividend yield or the total return from an investment
in the Fund.</span></p>

investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of total return on its assets. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment

normal circumstances the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its total assets (taken at current value) in &#8220;convertible
securities,&#8221; i.e., securities (bonds, debentures, notes, stocks and other similar securities) that are convertible into
common stock or other equity securities, and &#8220;income securities,&#8221; i.e., nonconvertible debt or equity securities having
a history of regular payments or accrual of income to holders. Securities received upon conversion of a convertible security will
not be included in the calculation of the percentage of Fund assets invested in convertible securities but may be retained in
the Fund&#8217;s portfolio to permit orderly disposition or to establish long-term holding periods for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund expects to continue its practice of focusing on convertible securities to the extent attractive opportunities are available.
We cannot assure you that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund may invest without limit in securities rated
below investment grade by recognized statistical rating agencies or unrated securities of comparable quality, including securities
of issuers in default, which are likely to have the lowest rating; provided, however, that not more than 50% of the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio will consist of securities rated CCC or lower by S&amp;P or Caa or lower by Moody&#8217;s or, if unrated, are of comparable
quality as determined by the Investment Adviser, and the Fund&#8217;s investments in securities of issuers in default will be
limited to not more than 5% of the total assets of the Fund. Securities rated below investment grade, which may be preferred shares
or debt, are predominantly speculative and involve major risk exposure to adverse conditions. Securities that are rated lower
than &#8220;BBB&#8221; by S&amp;P, or lower than &#8220;Baa&#8221; by Moody&#8217;s or unrated securities considered by the Investment
Adviser to be of comparable quality, are commonly referred to as &#8220;junk bonds&#8221; or &#8220;high yield&#8221; securities.</span></p>

for the counterparty agreeing to pay to the fund periodically a variable rate payment that is intended to approximate the Fund&#8217;s
variable rate payment obligation on its borrowings (or the Fund&#8217;s potential variable payment obligations on fixed rate preferred
shares that may have certain variable rate features). In an interest rate cap, the Fund would pay a premium to the counterparty
to the interest rate cap and, to the extent that a specified variable rate index exceeds a predetermined fixed rate, would receive
from the counterparty payments of the difference based on the notional amount of such cap. Interest rate swap and cap transactions
introduce additional risk because the Fund would remain obligated to pay interest or preferred shares dividends when due even
if the counterparty defaulted. Depending on the general state of short term interest rates and the returns on the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio securities at that point in time, such a default could negatively affect the Fund&#8217;s ability to make interest payments
or dividend payments on the preferred shares. In addition, at the time an interest rate swap or cap transaction reaches its scheduled
termination date, there is a risk that the Fund will not be able to obtain a replacement transaction or that the terms of the
replacement will not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. If this occurs, it could have a negative impact on the Fund&#8217;s
ability to make interest payments or dividend payments on the preferred shares. To the extent there is a decline in interest rates,
the value of the interest rate swap or cap could decline, resulting in a decline in the asset coverage for the borrowings or preferred
shares. A sudden and dramatic decline in interest rates may result in a significant decline in the asset coverage. If the Fund
fails to maintain the required asset coverage on any outstanding borrowings or preferred shares or fails to comply with other
covenants, the Fund may be required to redeem some or all of these shares. Any such prepayment or redemption would likely result
in the Fund seeking to terminate early all or a portion of any swap or cap transactions. Early termination of a swap could result
in a termination payment by the Fund to the counterparty, while early termination of a cap could result in a termination payment
to the Fund.</span></p>

Fund may enter into equity contract for difference swap transactions, for the purpose of increasing the income of the Fund. In
an equity contract for difference swap, a set of future cash flows is exchanged between two counterparties. One of these cash
flow streams will typically be based on a reference interest rate combined with the performance of a notional value of shares
of a stock. The other will be based on the performance of the shares of a stock. Depending on the general state of short term
interest rates and the returns on the Fund&#8217;s portfolio securities at the time a swap transaction reaches its scheduled termination

Fund will usually enter into swaps or caps on a net basis; that is, the two payment streams will be netted out in a cash settlement

such swap with a view to ensuring that the Fund remains in compliance with all applicable regulatory, investment policy and tax

order to allow its common shareholders to realize a predictable, but not assured, level of cash flow and some liquidity periodically
on their investment without having to sell shares, the Fund has adopted a managed distribution policy of paying, on a quarterly
basis, a minimum distribution at an annual rate equal to 8% of the average net asset value of the Fund within a calendar year
on an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Code to maintain its status as a RIC and avoid
paying U.S. federal excise tax, whichever is greater. The average net asset value of the Fund is based on the average net asset
values as of the last day of the four preceding calendar quarters during the year. As a RIC under the Code, the Fund will not
be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any taxable income that it distributes to shareholders, provided that at least 90% of
its investment company taxable income for that taxable year is distributed to its shareholders. See &#8220;Taxation&#8221; in
the Prospectus.</span></p>

the Fund&#8217;s distribution policy, the Fund declares and pays quarterly distributions from net investment income, capital gains,
and paid-in capital. The actual source of the distribution is determined after the end of the year. If the Fund does not generate
sufficient earnings (dividends and interest income and realized net capital gain) equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions
paid by the Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund&#8217;s earnings would be deemed a return
of capital to the extent of the shareholder&#8217;s tax basis in the shares (reducing the basis accordingly) and as capital gains
thereafter. Since a return of capital is considered a return of a portion of a shareholder&#8217;s original investment, it is
generally not taxable and is treated as a reduction in the shareholder&#8217;s cost basis, thereby increasing the shareholder&#8217;s
potential taxable gain or reducing the potential taxable loss on the sale of the shares. In determining the extent to which a
distribution will be treated as being made from the Fund&#8217;s earnings and profits, earnings and profits will be allocated
on a pro rata basis first to distributions with respect to preferred shares, and then to the Fund&#8217;s common shares.</span></p>

sourced from paid-in capital should not be considered as the dividend yield or total return of an investment in the Fund. Shareholders
who receive the payment of a distribution consisting of a return of capital may be under the impression that they are receiving
net profits when they are not. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit.</span></p>

the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023, the Fund made distributions of $0.36 per common share, approximately $0.10 of which
constituted a return of capital. When the Fund makes distributions consisting of returns of capital, such distributions may further
decrease the Fund&#8217;s total assets and, therefore have the likely effect of increasing the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio as the
Fund&#8217;s fixed expenses will become a larger percentage of the Fund&#8217;s average net assets. In addition, in order to make
such distributions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio at a time when independent investment judgment
may not dictate such action. These effects could have a negative impact on the prices investors receive when they sell shares
of the Fund.</span></p>

as and when it deems such a repurchase advisable, subject to maintaining required asset coverage for each series of outstanding
preferred shares. The Board has authorized such repurchases to be made when the Fund&#8217;s common shares are trading at a discount
from net asset value of 10% or more (or such other percentage as the Board of the Fund may determine from time to time). Pursuant
to the 1940 Act, the Fund may repurchase its common shares on a securities exchange (provided that the Fund has informed its shareholders
within the preceding six months of its intention to repurchase such shares) or pursuant to tenders and may also repurchase shares
privately if the Fund meets certain conditions regarding, among other things, distribution of net income for the preceding fiscal
year, status of the seller, price paid, brokerage commissions, prior notice to shareholders of an intention to purchase shares
and purchasing in a manner and on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly against the other shareholders through their interest
in the Fund.</span></p>

the Fund repurchases its common shares for a price below net asset value, the net asset value of the common shares that remain
outstanding will be enhanced, but this does not necessarily mean that the market price of the outstanding common shares will be
affected, either positively or negatively. The repurchase of common shares will reduce the total assets of the Fund available
for investment and may increase the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio. During the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023 and the year

The Prospectus Supplement will describe the interest payment provisions relating to notes. Interest on notes will be payable when

Under the requirements of the 1940 Act, immediately after issuing any notes the value of our total assets, less certain ordinary

in our being subject to similar covenants in credit agreements.</span></p>

the 1940 Act requires that we prohibit the declaration of any dividend or distribution (other than a dividend or distribution
paid in Fund common or preferred shares or in options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase Fund common or preferred
shares) in respect of Fund common or preferred shares, or call for redemption, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any such fund common or preferred shares, unless the Fund&#8217;s notes have asset coverage of at least 300% (200% in the case
of a dividend or distribution on preferred shares) after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution, or acquisition price,
as the case may be. These 1940 Act requirements do not apply to any promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness issued in
consideration of any loan, extension, or renewal thereof, made by a bank or other person and privately arranged, and not intended
to be publicly distributed; however, any such borrowings may result in our being subject to similar covenants in credit agreements.
Moreover, the Indenture related to the notes could contain provisions more restrictive than those required by the 1940 Act, and
any such provisions would be described in the related Prospectus Supplement.</span></p>

of twelve consecutive calendar months such notes shall have an asset coverage of less than 100%, the holders of such notes voting
as a class shall be entitled to elect at least a majority of the members of the Fund&#8217;s Directors, such voting right to continue

coverage of less than 100%, an event of default shall be deemed to have occurred. It is expected that, unless otherwise stated

Maryland General Corporation Law (the &#8220;MGCL&#8221;) and our Charter and Bylaws contain provisions that could make it more
difficult for a potential acquiror to acquire us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are
expected to discourage certain coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire
control of us to negotiate first with the Board of Directors. We believe the benefits of these provisions outweigh the potential
disadvantages of discouraging any such acquisition proposals because, among other things, the negotiation of such proposals may
improve their terms.</span></p>

successors are duly elected and qualify and each year one class of directors will be elected by the shareholders. A classified
board may render a change in control of us or removal of our incumbent management more difficult. We believe, however, that the
longer time required to elect a majority of a classified Board of Directors will help to ensure the continuity and stability of
our management and policies.</span></p>

Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, convert, sell all or substantially all

by the board and approved by the affirmative vote of shareholders entitled to cast at least&#160;two-thirds&#160;of the votes
entitled to be cast on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by
a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our Charter generally
provides for approval of Charter amendments and extraordinary transactions by the shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority
of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our Charter also provides that certain Charter amendments, including but not limited
to any charter amendment that would make our stock a redeemable security (within the meaning of the 1940 Act) requires the approval
of the shareholders entitled to cast at least 75% of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter and the vote of a majority (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of the holders of preferred shares voting as a single class; these voting requirements, which have been
considered and determined to be in the best interests of stockholders by the Board of Directors, are greater than applicable minimum
voting requirements imposed by the 1940 Act and applicable Maryland law. Our Charter and Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors
has the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of our Bylaws and to make new Bylaws.</span></p>

February 16, 2023, the Fund elected, by resolution unanimously adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund in accordance with
Section 3-702(c)(4) of the MGCL, to be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act (the &#8220;Control Share Act&#8221;),

the MGCL, the Control Share Act provides that a holder of control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share
acquisition has no voting rights with respect to those shares except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes
entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares owned by the acquiror, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation
are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. Control shares are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all
other shares of stock owned by the acquiror or in respect of which the acquiror is able to exercise or direct the exercise of
voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors
within one of the following ranges of voting power:</span></p>

person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition may compel the board of directors of the corporation to call
a special meeting of shareholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. The right to
compel the calling of a special meeting is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including an undertaking to pay
the expenses of the meeting. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any shareholders
meeting.</span></p>

voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required
by the statute, then the corporation may redeem for fair value any or all of the control shares, except those for which voting
rights have previously been approved. The right of the corporation to redeem control shares is subject to certain conditions and
limitations, including, compliance with the 1940 Act. Fair value is determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights
for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquiror or of any meeting of shareholders
at which the voting rights of the shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at
a shareholders meeting and the acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other shareholders
may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of appraisal rights may not be less than
the highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the control share acquisition.</span></p>

Control Share Act does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party
to the transaction or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. In connection with
the Fund&#8217;s election to be subject to the Control Share Act, the Fund&#8217;s Board of Directors amended the Fund&#8217;s
bylaws to exempt the Fund&#8217;s preferred stock from the Control Share Act. This exemption applies to the Fund&#8217;s outstanding
preferred stock and to any preferred stock it may issue in the future.</span></p>

foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Control Share Act. Shareholders should consult their own counsel with
respect to the application of the Control Share Act to any particular circumstance. Some uncertainty around the general application
under the 1940 Act of state control share statutes exists as a result of recent court decisions which have held that control share
provisions in Fund&#8217;s governing documents are not consistent with the 1940 Act. Additionally, in some circumstances uncertainty
may also exist in how to enforce the control share restrictions contained in state control share statutes against beneficial owners
who hold their shares through financial intermediaries.</span></p>

law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer
who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason
of his or her service in that capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers,
among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection
with any proceeding to which they may be made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of their service in those or other
capacities unless it is established that (a)&#160;the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving
rise to the proceeding and (1)&#160;was committed in bad faith or (2)&#160;was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty,
(b)&#160;the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c)&#160;in
the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.
However, under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of
the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received unless, in either
case, a court orders indemnification, and then only for expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits a corporation to advance reasonable
expenses to a director or officer in advance of final disposition of a proceeding upon the corporation&#8217;s receipt of (a)&#160;a
written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct
necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b)&#160;a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay
the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met. The
advancement of expenses is subject to additional limitations pursuant to the 1940 Act.</span></p>

Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company (commonly referred to as a closed-end fund). Closed-end funds
differ from open-end funds (which are generally referred to as mutual funds) in that closed-end funds generally list their common
shares for trading on a stock exchange and do not redeem their common shares at the request of the shareholder. This means that
if you wish to sell your common shares of a closed-end fund you must trade them on the market like any other stock at the prevailing
market price at that time. In an open-end fund, if the shareholder wishes to sell shares of the fund, the open-end fund will redeem
or buy back the shares at net asset value. Also, open-end funds generally offer new shares on a continuous basis to new investors,
and closed-end funds generally do not. The continuous inflows and outflows of assets in an open-end fund can make it difficult
to manage the fund&#8217;s investments. By comparison, closed-end funds are generally able to stay more fully invested in securities
that are consistent with their investment objective, to have greater flexibility to make certain types of investments and to use
certain investment strategies such as financial leverage and investments in illiquid securities.</span></p>

shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value. Because of this possibility and the recognition
that any such discount may not be in the interest of shareholders, the Board might consider from time to time engaging in open-market
repurchases, tender offers for shares or other programs intended to reduce a discount. We cannot guarantee or assure, however,
that the Board will decide to engage in any of these actions. Nor is there any guarantee or assurance that such actions, if undertaken,
would result in the common shares trading at a price equal or close to net asset value per share. We cannot assure you that the
Fund&#8217;s common shares will not trade at a discount.</span></p>

Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company and as such its shareholders do not, and will not, have the right
to require the Fund to repurchase their shares. The Fund, however, may repurchase its common shares from time to time as and when
it deems such a repurchase advisable. The Board of Directors has authorized, but does not require, such repurchases to be made
when the Fund&#8217;s common shares are trading at a discount from net asset value of 10% or more (or such other percentage as
the Board of Directors of the Fund may determine from time to time). This authorization is a standing authorization that may be
executed in the discretion of the Fund&#8217;s officers. The Fund&#8217;s officers are authorized to use the Fund&#8217;s general
corporate funds to repurchase common shares. The Fund generally intends to finance common share repurchases with cash on hand,
and while the Fund may incur debt to finance common share repurchases, such debt financing would require further approval of the
Board, and the Fund does not currently intend to incur debt to finance common share repurchases. The Fund has repurchased its
common shares under this authorization. See &#8220;Description of the Securities&#8212;Common Shares.&#8221; Although the Board
of Directors has authorized such repurchases, the Fund is not required to repurchase its common shares, and the Fund&#8217;s officers,
in determining whether to repurchase Fund common shares pursuant to this authority, take into account a variety of market and
economic factors including, among other things, trading volume, the magnitude of discount, bid/ask spreads, the Fund&#8217;s available
cash position, leverage and expense ratios and any applicable legal or contractual restrictions on such repurchases that may be
applicable at the time. The Board of Directors has not established a limit on the number of shares that could be purchased during
such period. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Fund may repurchase its common shares on a securities exchange (provided that the Fund
has informed its shareholders within the preceding six months of its intention to repurchase such shares) or pursuant to tenders
and may also repurchase shares privately if the Fund meets certain conditions regarding, among other things, distribution of net
income for the preceding fiscal year, status of the seller, price paid, brokerage commissions, prior notice to shareholders of
an intention to purchase shares and purchasing in a manner and on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly against the other
shareholders through their interest in the Fund. The Fund has not and will not, unless otherwise set forth in a Prospectus Supplement
and accomplished in accordance with applicable law and positions of the SEC&#8217;s staff, repurchase common shares (i) immediately
after the completion of an offering of common shares (i.e., within sixty days of an overallotment option period) or (ii) at a
price that is tied to the initial offering price. See &#8220;Plan of Distribution.&#8221;</span></p>

the Fund repurchases its common shares for a price below net asset value, the net asset value of the common shares that remain
outstanding shares will be enhanced, but this does not necessarily mean that the market price of the outstanding common shares
will be affected, either positively or negatively. The repurchase of common shares will reduce the total assets of the Fund available
for investment and may increase the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio.</span></p>

The staff of the SEC has interpreted the 1940 Act as not requiring shareholder approval of a transferable rights offering to purchase
common stock at a price below the then current net asset value so long as certain conditions are met, including: (i) a good faith
determination by a fund&#8217;s Board that such offering would result in a net benefit to existing shareholders; (ii) the offering
fully protects shareholders&#8217; preemptive rights and does not discriminate among shareholders (except for the possible effect
of not offering fractional rights); (iii) management uses its best efforts to ensure an adequate trading market in the rights
for use by shareholders who do not exercise such rights; and (iv) the ratio of a transferable rights offering does not exceed
one new share for each three rights held.</span></p>

a RIC, the Fund generally is not subject to U.S.&#160;federal income tax on income and gains that it distributes each taxable
year to shareholders, provided that it distributes at least 90% of the sum of the Fund&#8217;s (i)&#160;investment company taxable
income (which includes, among other items, dividends, interest, the excess of any net short term capital gain over net long term
capital loss, and other taxable income other than any net capital gain (as defined below) reduced by deductible expenses) determined
without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and (ii)&#160;net&#160;tax-exempt&#160;interest income (the excess of its gross&#160;tax-exempt&#160;interest
income over certain disallowed deductions), if any. The Fund intends to distribute at least annually substantially all of such
income. The Fund will be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates on any investment company taxable income and net capital
gain that it does not distribute to its shareholders.</span></p>

Fund may either distribute or retain for reinvestment all or part of its net capital gain (which consists of the excess of its
net long term capital gain over its net short term capital loss). If any such gain is retained, the Fund will be subject to a
corporate income tax on such retained amount. In that event, the Fund may report the retained amount as undistributed capital
gain in a notice to its shareholders, each of whom (i)&#160;will be required to include in income for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as long term capital gain its share of such undistributed amounts, (ii)&#160;will be entitled to credit its proportionate
share of the tax paid by the Fund against its U.S. federal income tax liability and to claim refunds to the extent that the credit
exceeds such liability and (iii)&#160;will increase its basis in its shares by the amount of undistributed capital gains included

not distributed on a timely basis in accordance with a calendar year distribution requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4%
federal excise tax at the Fund level. To avoid the tax, the Fund must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least
equal to the sum of (i)&#160;98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for the calendar
year, and (ii)&#160;98.2% of its capital gains in excess of its capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a&#160;one-year&#160;period
generally ending on October&#160;31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the Fund&#8217;s fiscal year). In
addition, the minimum amounts that must be distributed in any year to avoid the federal excise tax will be increased or decreased
to reflect any under-distribution or over-distribution, as the case may be, from previous years. For purposes of the excise tax,
the Fund will be deemed to have distributed any income on which it paid U.S. federal income tax. Although the Fund intends to
distribute any income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the 4% federal excise tax, there can
be no assurance that sufficient amounts of the Fund&#8217;s ordinary income and capital gains will be distributed to avoid entirely
the imposition of the tax. In that event, the Fund will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which it does not meet the
foregoing distribution requirement.</span></p>

taxed long term capital gains or qualified dividend income into higher taxed short term capital gains or ordinary income, (iii)&#160;convert
an ordinary loss or a deduction into a capital loss (the deductibility of which is more limited), (iv) cause the Fund to recognize
income or gain without a corresponding receipt of cash, (v)&#160;adversely affect the time as to when a purchase or sale of stock
or securities is deemed to occur, (vi)&#160;adversely alter the characterization of certain complex financial transactions and
(vii)&#160;produce income that will not qualify as good income for purposes of the 90% annual gross income requirement described

Fund expects to take the position that under present law any preferred shares that it issues will constitute equity rather than
debt of the Fund for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is possible, however, that the IRS could take a contrary position asserting,
for example, that such preferred shares constitute debt of the Fund. If that position were upheld, distributions on the Fund&#8217;s
preferred shares would be considered interest, taxable as ordinary income regardless of the taxable income of the Fund, and other
adverse consequences could result for the Fund or shareholders. The following discussion and the discussion in the SAI assume

Provided that certain holding period and other requirements are met, such distributions (if properly reported by the Fund) may
qualify (i)&#160;for the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders to the extent that the Fund&#8217;s
income consists of dividend income from U.S.&#160;corporations, and (ii)&#160;in the case of individual shareholders, as qualified
dividend income eligible to be taxed at long term capital gains rates to the extent that the Fund receives qualified dividend
income. Qualified dividend income is, in general, dividend income from taxable domestic corporations and certain qualified foreign
corporations. There can be no assurance as to what portion of the Fund&#8217;s distributions will be eligible for the dividends
received deduction or for the reduced rates applicable to qualified dividend income.</span></p>

projections, forecasts and estimates contained or incorporated by reference herein are forward looking statements and are based
upon certain assumptions. Projections, forecasts and estimates are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that
some or all of the assumptions underlying any projections, forecasts or estimates will not materialize or will vary significantly
from actual results. Actual results may vary from any projections, forecasts and estimates and the variations may be material.
Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward looking statements include
changes in interest rates, market, financial or legal uncertainties, including changes in tax law, and the timing and frequency
of defaults on underlying investments. Consequently, the inclusion of any projections, forecasts and estimates herein should not
be regarded as a representation by the Fund or any of its affiliates or any other person or entity of the results that will actually
be achieved by the Fund. Neither the Fund nor its affiliates has any obligation to update or otherwise revise any projections,
forecasts and estimates including any revisions to reflect changes in economic conditions or other circumstances arising after
the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition.
The Fund acknowledges that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the safe harbor for forward-looking statements under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply to investment companies such as the Fund.</span></p>

as well as one fund that trades on the London Stock Exchange and Luxembourg SICAV, with combined aggregate net assets of approximately
$20.5 billion as of March 31, 2024. The Investment Adviser is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940, as amended, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (&#8220;GBL&#8221;). Mr. Mario J. Gabelli may be
deemed a &#8220;controlling person&#8221; of the Investment Adviser on the basis of his controlling interest in GBL. Mr. Gabelli
owns a majority of the stock of GGCP, Inc. (&#8220;GGCP&#8221;) which holds a majority of the capital stock and voting power of
GBL. The Investment Adviser has several affiliates that provide investment advisory services: GAMCO Asset Management Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of GBL, acts as investment adviser for individuals, pension trusts, profit sharing trusts, and endowments, and
as a sub-adviser to certain third party investment funds, which include registered investment companies, having assets under management
of approximately $11.1 billion as of March 31, 2024; Teton Advisors, Inc., and its wholly owned investment adviser, Keeley Teton
Advisers, LLC, with assets under management of approximately $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2024, acts as investment adviser to
The TETON Westwood Funds, the KEELEY Funds, and separately managed accounts; and Gabelli &amp; Company Investment Advisers, Inc.
(formerly, Gabelli Securities, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of Associated Capital Group, Inc. (&#8220;Associated Capital&#8221;),

limited partnerships and offshore companies, with assets under management of approximately $1.5 billion as of March 31, 2024.
Teton Advisors, Inc., was spun off by GBL in March 2009 and is an affiliate of GBL by virtue of Mr. Gabelli&#8217;s ownership
of GGCP, the principal shareholder of Teton Advisors, Inc., as of March 31, 2024. Associated Capital was spun off from GBL on
November 30, 2015, and is an affiliate of GBL by virtue of Mr. Gabelli&#8217;s ownership of GGCP, the principal shareholder of

of the Investment Adviser may, in the ordinary course of their business, acquire for their own account or for the accounts of
their investment advisory clients, significant (and possibly controlling) positions in the securities of companies that may also
be suitable for investment by the Fund. The securities in which the Fund might invest may thereby be limited to some extent. For
instance, many companies in the past several years have adopted so-called &#8220;poison pill&#8221; or other defensive measures
designed to discourage or prevent the completion of non-negotiated offers for control of the company. Such defensive measures
may have the effect of limiting the shares of the company which might otherwise be acquired by the Fund if the affiliates of the
Investment Adviser or their investment advisory accounts have or acquire a significant position in the same securities. However,
the Investment Adviser does not believe that the investment activities of its affiliates will have a material adverse effect upon
the Fund in seeking to achieve its investment objective. Securities purchased or sold pursuant to contemporaneous orders entered
on behalf of the investment company accounts of the Investment Adviser or the investment advisory accounts managed by its affiliates
for their unaffiliated clients are allocated pursuant to procedures, approved by the Board, believed to be fair and not disadvantageous
to any such accounts. In addition, all such orders are accorded priority of execution over orders entered on behalf of accounts
in which the Investment Adviser or its affiliates have a substantial pecuniary interest. The Investment Adviser may on occasion
give advice or take action with respect to other clients that differs from the actions taken with respect to the Fund. The Fund
may invest in the securities of companies that are investment management clients of GAMCO. In addition, portfolio companies or
their officers or directors may be minority shareholders of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates.</span></p>

Advisory Agreement combines investment advisory and administrative responsibilities in one agreement. For services rendered by
the Investment Adviser on behalf of the Fund under the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Investment Adviser a fee, computed
daily and paid monthly, equal on an annual basis to 1.00% of the Fund&#8217;s average daily net assets including the liquidation
value of preferred shares. Net assets does not include amounts attributable to liabilities constituting indebtedness. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Investment Adviser will waive the portion of its investment advisory fee attributable to an amount of assets
of the Fund equal to the aggregate stated value of the applicable series of its currently outstanding preferred shares for any
calendar year in which the net asset value total return of the Fund allocable to the common shares, including distributions and
the advisory fee subject to potential waiver, is less than the stated annual dividend rate or corresponding swap rate of each
particular series of currently outstanding preferred shares, prorated during the year such series is issued and the final year
such series is outstanding. The Fund&#8217;s total return on the net asset value of the common shares is monitored on a monthly
basis to assess whether the total return on the net asset value of the common shares exceeds the stated dividend rate or corresponding
swap rate of each particular series of currently outstanding preferred shares for the period. The test to confirm the accrual
of the management fee on the assets attributable to each particular series of preferred shares is annual. The Fund will accrue
for the management fee on these assets during the fiscal year if it appears probable that the Fund will incur the management fee
on those additional assets.</span></p>

the investment advisory fees are based on a percentage of total assets, which includes assets attributable to the Fund&#8217;s
use of leverage and assets from derivative transactions, the Investment Adviser may have a conflict of interest in the input it
provides to the Board regarding whether to use or increase the Fund&#8217;s use of leverage and/or derivative transactions. The
Board bases its decision, with input from the Investment Adviser, regarding whether and how much leverage to use for the Fund
on its assessment of whether such use of leverage is in the best interest of the Fund. The Board seeks to manage the Investment
Adviser&#8217;s potential conflict of interest by retaining the final decision on these matters and by periodically reviewing
the Fund&#8217;s performance and use of leverage.</span></p>

to policies established by the Board, the Investment Adviser is responsible for placing purchase and sale orders and the allocation
of brokerage on behalf of the Fund. Transactions in equity securities are in most cases effected on U.S. stock exchanges and involve
the payment of negotiated brokerage commissions. In general, there may be no stated commission in the case of securities traded
in OTC markets, but the prices of those securities may include undisclosed commissions or mark-ups. Principal transactions are
not entered into with affiliates of the Fund. However, G.research may execute transactions in the OTC markets on an agency basis
and receive a stated commission therefrom. To the extent consistent with applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and
exemptions adopted by the SEC thereunder, as well as other regulatory requirements, the Board has determined that portfolio transactions
may be executed through G.research and its broker-dealer affiliates if, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser, the use of
those broker-dealers is likely to result in price and execution at least as favorable as those of other qualified broker-dealers,
and if, in particular transactions, the affiliated broker-dealers charge the Fund a rate consistent with that charged to comparable
unaffiliated customers in similar transactions and comparable to rates charged by other broker dealers for similar transactions.
The Fund has no obligations to deal with any broker or group of brokers in executing transactions in portfolio securities. In
executing transactions, the Investment Adviser seeks to obtain the best price and execution for the Fund, taking into account
such factors as price, size of order, difficulty of execution and operational facilities of the firm involved and the firm&#8217;s
risk in positioning a block of securities. While the Investment Adviser generally seeks reasonably competitive commission rates,
the Fund does not necessarily pay the lowest commission available. During the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023 and the years
ended December&#160;31, 2022 and 2021, the Fund paid aggregate brokerage commissions of $5,952, $13,930 and $2,495, respectively.
During the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023 and the years ended December&#160;31, 2022 and 2021, the Fund paid to G.research
brokerage commissions on security trades of $625, $900 and $384, respectively. Such amount represents approximately 11%, 6% and
15% of the Fund&#8217;s aggregate brokerage commissions paid during the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023 and the years ended
December&#160;31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The percentages of the Fund&#8217;s aggregate dollar amount of transactions involving
the payment of commissions effected through G.research during the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023 and the years ended December&#160;31,
2022 and 2021 were approximately 22%, 12% and 13%, respectively.</span></p>

a RIC, the Fund generally is not subject to U.S.&#160;federal income tax on income and gains that it distributes each taxable
year to shareholders, provided that it distributes annually at least 90% of the sum of the Fund&#8217;s (i)&#160;investment company
taxable income (which includes, among other items, dividends, interest, the excess of any net short term capital gain over net
long term capital loss, and other taxable income, other than any net capital gain (as defined below), reduced by deductible expenses)
determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and (ii)&#160;net&#160;tax-exempt&#160;interest income (the excess
of its gross&#160;tax-exempt&#160;interest income over certain disallowed deductions). The Fund intends to distribute at least
annually substantially all of such income. The Fund will be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates on any taxable income
or gains that it does not distribute to its shareholders.</span></p>

not distributed on a timely basis in accordance with a calendar year distribution requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4%
federal excise tax at the Fund level. To avoid the tax, the Fund must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least
equal to the sum of (i)&#160;98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for the calendar
year, and (ii)&#160;98.2% of its capital gains in excess of its capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a&#160;one-year&#160;period
generally ending on October&#160;31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the Fund&#8217;s fiscal year). In
addition, the minimum amounts that must be distributed in any year to avoid the federal excise tax will be increased or decreased
to reflect any under-distribution or over-distribution, as the case may be, from previous years. For purposes of the excise tax,
the Fund will be deemed to have distributed any income on which it paid U.S. federal income tax. Although the Fund intends to
distribute any income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the 4% federal excise tax, there can
be no assurance that sufficient amounts of the Fund&#8217;s ordinary income and capital gains will be distributed to avoid entirely
the imposition of the tax. In that event, the Fund will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which it does not meet the
foregoing distribution requirement.</span></p>

the Fund were unable to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement or otherwise were to fail to qualify as a RIC in any year, generally
it would be taxed on all of its taxable income and gains in the same manner as an ordinary corporation and distributions to the
Fund&#8217;s shareholders would not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income. Such distributions would be taxable
to the shareholders as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Fund&#8217;s current or accumulated earnings and profits. Provided
that certain holding period and other requirements are met, such dividends may be eligible (i)&#160;to be treated as qualified
dividend income eligible to be taxed at long term capital gain rates in the case of shareholders taxed as individuals and (ii)&#160;for
the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders. To qualify again to be taxed as a RIC in a subsequent
year, the Fund would be required to distribute to its shareholders its earnings and profits attributable to&#160;non-RIC&#160;years.
In addition, if the Fund failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then, in order to qualify as
a RIC in a subsequent year, the Fund would be required to elect to recognize and pay tax on any net&#160;built-in&#160;gain (the
excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if the Fund had been liquidated)
or, alternatively, to be subject to taxation on such&#160;built-in&#160;gain recognized for a period of five years. The remainder
of this discussion assumes that the Fund qualifies for taxation as a RIC.</span></p>

Fund may either distribute or retain for reinvestment all or part of its net capital gain (i.e., the excess of net long term capital
gain over net short term capital loss). If any such gain is retained, the Fund will be subject to regular corporate income tax
on the retained amount. In that event, the Fund may report the retained amount as undistributed capital gain in a notice to its
shareholders, each of whom (i)&#160;will be required to include in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as long term capital
gain its share of such undistributed amounts, (ii)&#160;will be entitled to credit its proportionate share of the tax paid by
the Fund against its U.S.&#160;federal income tax liability and to claim refunds to the extent that the credit exceeds such liability
and (iii)&#160;will increase its basis in its shares of the Fund by the amount of undistributed capital gains included in the

distribution that is treated as a&#160;tax-free&#160;return of capital will reduce your adjusted tax basis in your shares, thereby
increasing your potential gain or reducing your potential loss on any subsequent sale or other disposition of your shares. In
determining the extent to which a distribution will be treated as being made from the Fund&#8217;s earnings and profits, earnings

IRS currently requires that a RIC that has two or more classes of stock allocate to each such class proportionate amounts of each
type of its income (such as ordinary income, capital gains, and qualified dividend income) based upon the percentage of total
dividends paid to each class for the tax year. Accordingly, the Fund intends each year to allocate capital gain dividends, dividends
eligible for the dividends received deduction, and dividends that constitute qualified dividend income, if any, between its common
shares and preferred shares in proportion to the total dividends paid to each class with respect to such tax year.</span></p>

and other taxable distributions are taxable to you even though they are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. Dividends

the dividend or distribution is made. If, however, the Fund pays you a dividend in January that was declared in the previous October,
November or December to shareholders of record on a specified date in one of such months, then such dividend will be treated for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as being paid by the Fund and received by you on December&#160;31 of the year in which the dividend
was declared. In addition, certain other distributions made after the close of the Fund&#8217;s taxable year may be &#8220;spilled
back&#8221; and treated as paid by the Fund (except for purposes of the 4% nondeductible excise tax) during such taxable year.
In such case, you will be treated as having received such dividends in the taxable year in which the distributions were actually
made.</span></p>

as discussed below in the case of a redemption or repurchase of shares, upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of shares,
a shareholder will generally realize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market
value of other property received and the shareholder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the shares. Such gain or loss will be treated
as long term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year. Any loss realized on a sale or exchange
will be disallowed to the extent the shares disposed of are replaced by substantially identical shares within a&#160;61-day&#160;period
beginning 30&#160;days before and ending 30&#160;days after the date that the shares are disposed of. In such a case, the basis
of the shares acquired will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. In addition, any loss realized by a shareholder on the
sale of Fund shares held by the shareholder for six months or less will be treated for tax purposes as a long term capital loss
to the extent of any capital gain distributions received by the shareholder (or amounts credited to the shareholder as an undistributed
capital gain) with respect to such shares. There are a number of limitations on the use of capital losses under the Code.</span></p>

general, a redemption or repurchase of shares should be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares under section 302 of the
Code, if the distribution of cash (a)&#160;is &#8220;substantially disproportionate&#8221; with respect to the shareholder, (b)&#160;results
in a &#8220;complete redemption&#8221; of the shareholder&#8217;s interest, or (c)&#160;is &#8220;not essentially equivalent to
a dividend&#8221; with respect to the shareholder. A &#8220;substantially disproportionate&#8221; distribution generally requires
a reduction of at least 20% in the shareholder&#8217;s proportionate interest in the Fund and also requires the shareholder to
own less than 50% of the voting power of all classes entitled to vote immediately after the redemption or repurchase. A &#8220;complete
redemption&#8221; of a shareholder&#8217;s interest generally requires that all common and preferred shares of the Fund owned
by such shareholder be disposed of. A distribution &#8220;not essentially equivalent to a dividend&#8221; requires that there
be a &#8220;meaningful reduction&#8221; in the shareholder&#8217;s proportionate interest in the Fund, which should result if
the shareholder has a minimal interest in the Fund, exercises no control over Fund affairs and suffers a reduction in his proportionate
interest in the Fund. In determining whether any of these tests has been met, any common and preferred shares actually owned,
as well as shares considered to be owned by the shareholder by reason of certain constructive ownership rules set forth in section
318 of the Code, generally must be taken into account.</span></p>

recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of other property received
pursuant to the transaction and the adjusted tax basis of the sold shares. If none of the tests described above are met, you may
be treated as having received, in whole or in part, a dividend, return of capital or capital gain, depending on (i)&#160;whether
there are sufficient earnings and profits to support a dividend and (ii)&#160;your tax basis in the relevant shares. The tax basis
in the sold shares will be transferred to any remaining shares held by you in the Fund. In addition, if the redemption or repurchase
of shares is treated as a &#8220;dividend&#8221; to a shareholder, a constructive dividend under certain provisions of the Code
may result to a&#160;non-selling&#160;shareholder whose proportionate interest in the earnings and assets of the Fund has been
increased as a result of such transaction.</span></p>

will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain realized in respect of any distributions of net capital
gain (including net capital gain retained by the Fund but credited to shareholders) or upon the sale or other disposition of shares

reported ordinary income dividends are generally exempt from U.S.&#160;federal withholding tax where they (i)&#160;are paid in
respect of a RIC&#8217;s &#8220;qualified net interest income&#8221; (generally, the RIC&#8217;s U.S.-source interest income,
other than certain contingent interest and interest from obligations of a corporation or partnership in which the RIC is at least
a 10% shareholder, reduced by expenses that are allocable to such income) or (ii)&#160;are paid in respect of a RIC&#8217;s &#8220;qualified
short term gains&#8221; (generally, the excess of the RIC&#8217;s net short term capital gain over the RIC&#8217;s net long term
capital loss for such taxable year). Depending on its circumstances, the Fund may report all, some or none of its potentially
eligible dividends as such qualified net interest income or as qualified short term gains, and/or treat such dividends, in whole
or in part, as ineligible for this exemption from withholding. In order to qualify for this exemption from withholding, a foreign
investor would need to comply with applicable certification requirements relating to its&#160;non-U.S.&#160;status&#160;(including,
in general, furnishing an IRS&#160;Form&#160;W-8BEN,&#160;W-8BEN-E&#160;or substitute Form). In the case of shares held through
an intermediary, the intermediary may withhold even if the Fund reports the payment as qualified net interest income or qualified

accounts. There can be no assurance as to what portion of the Fund&#8217;s distributions would qualify for favorable treatment

the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a &#8220;clearing agency&#8221; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&#160;17A
of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among participants
of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry
changes in participants&#8217; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct
DTC participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations.
Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear
through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly through other entities.</span></p>

as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which the beneficial owners purchased
securities. Transfers of ownership interests in securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants

receive payments on such payment date. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions

the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. Furthermore each beneficial owner must rely on
the procedures of DTC to exercise any rights under the securities.</span></p>

Fund and the Investment Adviser have adopted a Code of Ethics. This Code of Ethics sets forth restrictions on the trading activities
of trustees/directors, officers and employees of the Fund, the Investment Adviser and their affiliates. For example, such persons
may not purchase any security for which the Fund has a purchase or sale order pending, or for which such trade is under consideration.
In addition, those trustees/directors, officers and employees that are principally involved in investment decisions for client
accounts are prohibited from purchasing or selling for their own account for a period of seven days a security that has been traded
for a client&#8217;s account, unless such trade is executed on more favorable terms for the client&#8217;s account and it is determined
that such trade will not adversely affect the client&#8217;s account. Short term trading by such trustee/directors, officers and
employees for their own accounts in securities held by a Fund client&#8217;s account is also restricted. The above examples are
subject to certain exceptions and they do not represent all of the trading restrictions and policies set forth by the Code of
Ethics. The Code of Ethics is available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC&#8217;s internet site at http://www.sec.gov.</span></p>

law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the Registrant&#8217;s charter does not) to indemnify
a director or officer who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made, or threatened to be
made, a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and
former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually
incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of their
service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)&#160;the act or omission of the director or officer was
material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (1)&#160;was committed in bad faith or (2)&#160;was the result of active
and deliberate dishonesty, (b)&#160;the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property
or services or (c)&#160;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the
act or omission was unlawful. However, under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in
a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly
received unless, in either case, a court orders indemnification, and then only for expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits
a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer in advance of final disposition of a proceeding upon the

in accordance with applicable corporate law) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with the defense or disposition
of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or investigative body in
which he may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which he may be or may have been threatened, while acting
in any capacity set forth above in this paragraph or thereafter by reason of his having acted in any such capacity, except with
respect to any matter as to which he shall have been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that
his action was in the best interest of the Fund and furthermore, in the case of any criminal proceeding, so long as he had no
reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful, provided, however, that (1)&#160;no indemnitee shall be indemnified
hereunder against any liability to the Fund or its shareholders or any expense of such indemnitee arising by reason of (i)&#160;willful
misfeasance, (ii)&#160;bad faith, (iii)&#160;gross negligence, (iv)&#160;reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct
of his position (the conduct referred to in such clauses (i)&#160;through (v) being sometimes referred to herein as &#8220;disabling
conduct&#8221;), (2) as to any matter disposed of by settlement or a compromise payment by such indemnitee, pursuant to a consent
decree or otherwise, no indemnification either for said payment or for any other expenses shall be provided unless there has been
a determination that such settlement or compromise is in the best interests of the Fund and that such indemnitee appears to have
acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Fund and did not involve disabling
conduct by such indemnitee and (3)&#160;with respect to any action, suit or other proceeding voluntarily prosecuted by any indemnitee
as plaintiff, indemnification shall be mandatory only if the prosecution of such action, suit or other proceeding by such indemnitee
was authorized by a majority of the full Board of the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Fund shall not be obligated to provide
any such indemnification to the extent such provision would waive any right which the Fund cannot lawfully waive.</span></p>

determined that he is entitled to such indemnification and if the trustees of the Fund determine that the facts then known to
them would not preclude indemnification. In addition, at least one of the following conditions must be met: (A)&#160;the indemnitee
shall provide a security for his undertaking, (B)&#160;the Fund shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful
advances, or (C)&#160;a majority of a quorum of trustees of the Fund who are neither &#8220;interested persons&#8221; of the Fund

is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</span></p>

distribution may include a return of capital and should not be considered as dividend yield or the total return from an investment

Investment Adviser expects that it will initially invest the proceeds of the offering in high quality short term debt securities

investment objective and policies as appropriate investment opportunities are identified, which is expected to substantially be
completed within three months; however, changes in market conditions could result in the Fund&rsquo;s anticipated investment period
extending to as long as six months. This could occur if market conditions are unstable to such an extent that the Investment Adviser
believes market risk is greater than the benefit of making additional investments at that time. Depending on market conditions
and operations, a portion of the cash held by the Fund, including any proceeds raised from the offering to be identified in any
relevant Prospectus Supplement, may be used to pay distributions in accordance with the Fund&rsquo;s distribution policy. Such
distribution may include a return of capital and should not be considered as dividend yield or the total return from an investment
in the Fund. See &ldquo;Use of Proceeds&rdquo; in the Prospectus.</FONT></P>

investment objective and policies as appropriate investment opportunities are identified, which is expected to substantially be
completed within three months; however, changes in market conditions could result in the Fund&rsquo;s anticipated investment period
extending to as long as six months. This could occur if market conditions are unstable to such an extent that the Investment Adviser
believes market risk is greater than the benefit of making additional investments at that time. Depending on market conditions
and operations, a portion of the cash held by the Fund, including any proceeds raised from the offering to be identified in any
relevant Prospectus Supplement, may be used to pay distributions in accordance with the Fund&rsquo;s distribution policy. Such
distribution may include a return of capital and should not be considered as dividend yield or the total return from an investment
in the Fund. See &ldquo;Use of Proceeds&rdquo; in the Prospectus.</FONT></P>

Risk.</I> An investment in our notes is subject to special risks. Our notes are not likely to be listed on an exchange or automated
quotation system. We cannot assure you that any market will exist for our notes or if a market does exist, whether it will provide
holders with liquidity. Broker-dealers that maintain a secondary trading market for the notes are not required to maintain this
market, and the Fund is not required to redeem notes if an attempted secondary market sale fails because of a lack of buyers.
To the extent that our notes trade, they may trade at a price either higher or lower than their principal amount depending on
interest rates, the rating (if any) on such notes and other factors.</FONT></P>

Risk.</I> The Fund may at any time redeem notes to the extent necessary to meet regulatory asset coverage requirements. For example,
if the value of the Fund&rsquo;s investment portfolio declines, thereby reducing the asset coverage for the notes, the Fund may
be obligated under the terms of the notes to redeem the notes. Investors may not be able to reinvest the proceeds of any redemption
in an investment providing the same or a better rate than that of the notes.</FONT></P>

investment objective and policies as appropriate investment opportunities are identified, which is expected to substantially be
completed within three months; however, changes in market conditions could result in the Fund&rsquo;s anticipated investment period
extending to as long as six months. This could occur if market conditions are unstable to such an extent that the Investment Adviser
believes market risk is greater than the benefit of making additional investments at that time. Depending on market conditions
and operations, a portion of the cash held by the Fund, including any proceeds raised from the offering to be identified in any
relevant Prospectus Supplement, may be used to pay distributions in accordance with the Fund&rsquo;s distribution policy. Such
distribution may include a return of capital and should not be considered as dividend yield or the total return from an investment

value per share is shown by the following examples, assuming a $[&#9679;] Subscription Price:</FONT></P>

as certain conditions are met, including: (i) a good faith determination by a fund&rsquo;s Board that such offering would result
in a net benefit to existing shareholders; (ii) the offering fully protects shareholders&rsquo; preemptive rights and does not
discriminate among shareholders (except for the possible effect of not offering fractional rights); (iii) management uses its
best efforts to ensure an adequate trading market in the rights for use by shareholders who do not exercise such rights; and (iv)
the ratio of a transferable rights offering does not exceed one new share for each three rights held.</FONT></P>

        Investment Adviser expects that it will initially invest the proceeds of the offering in high quality short term debt
        securities and instruments. The Investment Adviser anticipates that the investment of the proceeds will be made in accordance
        with the Fund&rsquo;s investment objective and policies as appropriate investment opportunities are identified, which
        is expected to substantially be completed within three months; however, changes in market conditions could result in the
        Fund&rsquo;s anticipated investment period extending to as long as six months. This could occur if market conditions are
        unstable to such an extent that the Investment Adviser believes market risk is greater than the benefit of making additional
        investments at that time. Depending on market conditions and operations, a portion of the cash held by the Fund, including
        any proceeds raised from the offering to be identified in any relevant Prospectus Supplement, may be used to pay distributions
        in accordance with the Fund&rsquo;s distribution policy. Such distribution may include a return of capital and should
        not be considered as dividend yield or the total return from an investment in the Fund. See &ldquo;Use of Proceeds&rdquo;

Investment Adviser expects that it will initially invest the proceeds of the offering in high quality short term debt securities

investment objective and policies as appropriate investment opportunities are identified, which is expected to substantially be
completed within three months; however, changes in market conditions could result in the Fund&rsquo;s anticipated investment period
extending to as long as six months. This could occur if market conditions are unstable to such an extent that the Investment Adviser
believes market risk is greater than the benefit of making additional investments at that time. Depending on market conditions
and operations, a portion of the cash held by the Fund, including any proceeds raised from the offering to be identified in any
relevant Prospectus Supplement, may be used to pay distributions in accordance with the Fund&rsquo;s distribution policy. Such
distribution may include a return of capital and should not be considered as dividend yield or the total return from an investment
in the Fund. See &ldquo;Use of Proceeds&rdquo; in the Prospectus.</FONT></P>

investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of total return on its assets. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment
objective through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. There is no assurance that this objective will be
achieved. It is, however, a fundamental policy of the Fund and cannot be changed without stockholder approval.</span></p>

normal circumstances the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its total assets (taken at current value) in &#8220;convertible
securities,&#8221; i.e., securities (bonds, debentures, notes, stocks and other similar securities) that are convertible into
common stock or other equity securities, and &#8220;income securities,&#8221; i.e., nonconvertible debt or equity securities having
a history of regular payments or accrual of income to holders. Securities received upon conversion of a convertible security will
not be included in the calculation of the percentage of Fund assets invested in convertible securities but may be retained in
the Fund&#8217;s portfolio to permit orderly disposition or to establish long-term holding periods for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund expects to continue its practice of focusing on convertible securities to the extent attractive opportunities are available.
We cannot assure you that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund may invest without limit in securities rated
below investment grade by recognized statistical rating agencies or unrated securities of comparable quality, including securities
of issuers in default, which are likely to have the lowest rating; provided, however, that not more than 50% of the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio will consist of securities rated CCC or lower by S&amp;P or Caa or lower by Moody&#8217;s or, if unrated, are of comparable
quality as determined by the Investment Adviser, and the Fund&#8217;s investments in securities of issuers in default will be
limited to not more than 5% of the total assets of the Fund. Securities rated below investment grade, which may be preferred shares
or debt, are predominantly speculative and involve major risk exposure to adverse conditions. Securities that are rated lower
than &#8220;BBB&#8221; by S&amp;P, or lower than &#8220;Baa&#8221; by Moody&#8217;s or unrated securities considered by the Investment
Adviser to be of comparable quality, are commonly referred to as &#8220;junk bonds&#8221; or &#8220;high yield&#8221; securities.</span></p>

Fund may enter into interest rate swap or cap transactions to manage its borrowing costs, as well as to increase income. The use
of interest rate swaps and caps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. In an interest rate swap, the Fund would agree to pay to the other
party to the interest rate swap (which is known as the &#8220;counterparty&#8221;) periodically a fixed rate payment in exchange
for the counterparty agreeing to pay to the fund periodically a variable rate payment that is intended to approximate the Fund&#8217;s
variable rate payment obligation on its borrowings (or the Fund&#8217;s potential variable payment obligations on fixed rate preferred
shares that may have certain variable rate features). In an interest rate cap, the Fund would pay a premium to the counterparty
to the interest rate cap and, to the extent that a specified variable rate index exceeds a predetermined fixed rate, would receive
from the counterparty payments of the difference based on the notional amount of such cap. Interest rate swap and cap transactions
introduce additional risk because the Fund would remain obligated to pay interest or preferred shares dividends when due even
if the counterparty defaulted. Depending on the general state of short term interest rates and the returns on the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio securities at that point in time, such a default could negatively affect the Fund&#8217;s ability to make interest payments
or dividend payments on the preferred shares. In addition, at the time an interest rate swap or cap transaction reaches its scheduled
termination date, there is a risk that the Fund will not be able to obtain a replacement transaction or that the terms of the
replacement will not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. If this occurs, it could have a negative impact on the Fund&#8217;s
ability to make interest payments or dividend payments on the preferred shares. To the extent there is a decline in interest rates,
the value of the interest rate swap or cap could decline, resulting in a decline in the asset coverage for the borrowings or preferred
shares. A sudden and dramatic decline in interest rates may result in a significant decline in the asset coverage. If the Fund
fails to maintain the required asset coverage on any outstanding borrowings or preferred shares or fails to comply with other
covenants, the Fund may be required to redeem some or all of these shares. Any such prepayment or redemption would likely result
in the Fund seeking to terminate early all or a portion of any swap or cap transactions. Early termination of a swap could result
in a termination payment by the Fund to the counterparty, while early termination of a cap could result in a termination payment
to the Fund.</span></p>

Fund may enter into equity contract for difference swap transactions, for the purpose of increasing the income of the Fund. In
an equity contract for difference swap, a set of future cash flows is exchanged between two counterparties. One of these cash
flow streams will typically be based on a reference interest rate combined with the performance of a notional value of shares
of a stock. The other will be based on the performance of the shares of a stock. Depending on the general state of short term
interest rates and the returns on the Fund&#8217;s portfolio securities at the time a swap transaction reaches its scheduled termination
date, there is a risk that the Fund will not be able to obtain a replacement transaction or that the terms of the replacement
will not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction.</span></p>

Fund will usually enter into swaps or caps on a net basis; that is, the two payment streams will be netted out in a cash settlement
on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net
amount of the two payments. The Fund intends to segregate or earmark cash or liquid assets having a value at least equal to the
value of the Fund&#8217;s net payment obligations under any swap transaction, marked to market daily. The Fund will monitor any
such swap with a view to ensuring that the Fund remains in compliance with all applicable regulatory, investment policy and tax
requirements.</span></p>

common shares have historically traded at a discount to the Fund&#8217;s net asset value. Since the Fund commenced trading on
the NYSE, the Fund&#8217;s common shares have traded at a maximum discount to net asset value of (32.4)% and a maximum premium
of 33.9%. The average weekly trading volume of the common shares on the NYSE during the period from January&#160;1, 2023 through
September 30, 2023 was 116,956 shares. Though the Fund expects to pay distributions quarterly on the common shares, it is not
obligated to do so. Each share within a particular class or series thereof has equal voting, dividend, distribution and liquidation
rights. All shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the applicable offering, will be fully paid and&#160;non-assessable.&#160;The

that common shares may not be issued at a price below the then current net asset value, exclusive of sales load, except in connection
with an offering to existing holders of common shares or with the consent of a majority of the Fund&#8217;s outstanding common

of&#160;closed-end&#160;investment companies often trade on an exchange at prices lower than net asset value. Because the market

expenses), dividend and distribution stability, net asset value, market liquidity, relative demand for and supply of such shares
in the market, unrealized gains, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, the
Fund cannot assure you that common shares will trade at a price equal to or higher than net asset value in the future. The common
shares are designed primarily for long term investors and you should not purchase the common shares if you intend to sell them
soon after purchase.</span></p>

Fund is a diversified,&#160;closed-end&#160;management investment company and as such its shareholders do not, and will not, have
the right to require the Fund to repurchase their shares. The Fund, however, may repurchase its common shares from time to time
as and when it deems such a repurchase advisable, subject to maintaining required asset coverage for each series of outstanding
preferred shares. The Board has authorized such repurchases to be made when the Fund&#8217;s common shares are trading at a discount
from net asset value of 10% or more (or such other percentage as the Board of the Fund may determine from time to time). Pursuant
to the 1940 Act, the Fund may repurchase its common shares on a securities exchange (provided that the Fund has informed its shareholders
within the preceding six months of its intention to repurchase such shares) or pursuant to tenders and may also repurchase shares
privately if the Fund meets certain conditions regarding, among other things, distribution of net income for the preceding fiscal
year, status of the seller, price paid, brokerage commissions, prior notice to shareholders of an intention to purchase shares
and purchasing in a manner and on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly against the other shareholders through their interest
in the Fund.</span></p>

the Fund repurchases its common shares for a price below net asset value, the net asset value of the common shares that remain
outstanding will be enhanced, but this does not necessarily mean that the market price of the outstanding common shares will be
affected, either positively or negatively. The repurchase of common shares will reduce the total assets of the Fund available
for investment and may increase the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio. During the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023 and the year
ended December&#160;31, 2022, the Fund did not repurchase and retire any shares in the open market.</span></p>

that, when added to the two Directors elected exclusively by the holders of preferred shares as described above, would then constitute
a simple majority of the Board as so increased by such smallest number. Such additional Directors will be elected by the holders
of the outstanding preferred shares, voting together as a single class, at a special meeting of shareholders which will be called
as soon as practicable and will be held not less than ten nor more than twenty days after the mailing date of the meeting notice.
If the Fund fails to send such meeting notice or to call such a special meeting, the meeting may be called by any preferred shareholder
on like notice. The terms of office of the persons who are Directors at the time of that election will continue. If the Fund thereafter
pays, or declares and sets apart for payment in full, all dividends and distributions payable on all outstanding preferred shares
for all past dividend periods or the holders of other series of preferred shares are no longer entitled to elect such additional
Directors, the additional voting rights of the holders of the preferred shares as described above will cease, and the terms of

course liabilities, must equal or exceed 300% of the amount of the notes outstanding. Other types of borrowings also may result
in our being subject to similar covenants in credit agreements.</span></p>

the 1940 Act requires that we prohibit the declaration of any dividend or distribution (other than a dividend or distribution
paid in Fund common or preferred shares or in options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase Fund common or preferred
shares) in respect of Fund common or preferred shares, or call for redemption, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any such fund common or preferred shares, unless the Fund&#8217;s notes have asset coverage of at least 300% (200% in the case
of a dividend or distribution on preferred shares) after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution, or acquisition price,
as the case may be. These 1940 Act requirements do not apply to any promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness issued in
consideration of any loan, extension, or renewal thereof, made by a bank or other person and privately arranged, and not intended
to be publicly distributed; however, any such borrowings may result in our being subject to similar covenants in credit agreements.
Moreover, the Indenture related to the notes could contain provisions more restrictive than those required by the 1940 Act, and
any such provisions would be described in the related Prospectus Supplement.</span></p>

certain voting rights. The 1940 Act requires that provision is made either (i)&#160;that, if on the last business day of each
of twelve consecutive calendar months such notes shall have an asset coverage of less than 100%, the holders of such notes voting
as a class shall be entitled to elect at least a majority of the members of the Fund&#8217;s Directors, such voting right to continue

coverage of less than 100%, an event of default shall be deemed to have occurred. It is expected that, unless otherwise stated

both common and preferred shares would require holders to purchase an equal number of common and preferred shares, and would not
permit holders to purchase an unequal number of common or preferred shares, or purchase only common shares or only preferred shares.
For example, such an offering might be structured such that three rights would entitle an investor to purchase one common share

upon the exercise of his, her or its rights.</span></p>

connection with the election of the Fund&#8217;s Directors, holders of the outstanding preferred shares, voting together as a
single class, will be entitled to elect two of the Fund&#8217;s Directors, and the remaining Directors will be elected by holders
of common shares and holders of preferred shares, voting together as a single class. In addition, if (i)&#160;at any time dividends
and distributions on outstanding preferred shares are unpaid in an amount equal to at least two full years&#8217; dividends and
distributions thereon and sufficient cash or specified securities have not been deposited with the applicable paying agent for
the payment of such accumulated dividends and distributions or (ii)&#160;at any time holders of any other series of preferred
shares are entitled to elect a majority of the Directors of the Fund under the 1940 Act or the applicable Articles Supplementary
creating such shares, then the number of Directors constituting the Board automatically will be increased by the smallest number
that, when added to the two Directors elected exclusively by the holders of preferred shares as described above, would then constitute
a simple majority of the Board as so increased by such smallest number. Such additional Directors will be elected by the holders
of the outstanding preferred shares, voting together as a single class, at a special meeting of shareholders which will be called
as soon as practicable and will be held not less than ten nor more than twenty days after the mailing date of the meeting notice.
If the Fund fails to send such meeting notice or to call such a special meeting, the meeting may be called by any preferred shareholder
on like notice. The terms of office of the persons who are Directors at the time of that election will continue. If the Fund thereafter
pays, or declares and sets apart for payment in full, all dividends and distributions payable on all outstanding preferred shares
for all past dividend periods or the holders of other series of preferred shares are no longer entitled to elect such additional
Directors, the additional voting rights of the holders of the preferred shares as described above will cease, and the terms of
office of all of the additional Directors elected by the holders of the preferred shares (but not of the Directors with respect
to whose election the holders of common shares were entitled to vote or the two Directors the holders of preferred shares have
the right to elect as a separate class in any event) will terminate automatically.</span></p>

1940 Act requires that in addition to any approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders
of a majority of any outstanding preferred shares (as defined in the 1940 Act), voting separately as a class, would be required
to (i)&#160;adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the preferred shares, and (ii)&#160;take any action requiring
a vote of security holders under Section&#160;13(a) of the 1940 Act, including, among other things, changes in the Fund&#8217;s
subclassification as a&#160;closed-end&#160;investment company to an&#160;open-end&#160;company or changes in its fundamental
investment restrictions. As a result of these voting rights, the Fund&#8217;s ability to take any such actions may be impeded
to the extent that there are any preferred shares outstanding. Additionally, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding preferred shares (as defined in the 1940 Act), voting as a separate class, will be required to amend, alter
or repeal any of the provisions of the Articles Supplementary so as to in the aggregate adversely affect the rights and preferences
set forth in the Articles Supplementary The class vote of holders of preferred shares described above will in each case be in
addition to any other vote required to authorize the action in question.</span></p>

investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of total return on its assets. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment
objective through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. There is no assurance that this objective will be
achieved. It is, however, a fundamental policy of the Fund and cannot be changed without stockholder approval.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

normal circumstances the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its total assets (taken at current value) in &#x201c;convertible
securities,&#x201d; i.e., securities (bonds, debentures, notes, stocks and other similar securities) that are convertible into
common stock or other equity securities, and &#x201c;income securities,&#x201d; i.e., nonconvertible debt or equity securities having
a history of regular payments or accrual of income to holders. Securities received upon conversion of a convertible security will
not be included in the calculation of the percentage of Fund assets invested in convertible securities but may be retained in
the Fund&#x2019;s portfolio to permit orderly disposition or to establish long-term holding periods for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund expects to continue its practice of focusing on convertible securities to the extent attractive opportunities are available.
We cannot assure you that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund may invest without limit in securities rated
below investment grade by recognized statistical rating agencies or unrated securities of comparable quality, including securities
of issuers in default, which are likely to have the lowest rating; provided, however, that not more than 50% of the Fund&#x2019;s
portfolio will consist of securities rated CCC or lower by S&amp;amp;P or Caa or lower by Moody&#x2019;s or, if unrated, are of comparable
quality as determined by the Investment Adviser, and the Fund&#x2019;s investments in securities of issuers in default will be
limited to not more than 5% of the total assets of the Fund. Securities rated below investment grade, which may be preferred shares
or debt, are predominantly speculative and involve major risk exposure to adverse conditions. Securities that are rated lower
than &#x201c;BBB&#x201d; by S&amp;amp;P, or lower than &#x201c;Baa&#x201d; by Moody&#x2019;s or unrated securities considered by the Investment
Adviser to be of comparable quality, are commonly referred to as &#x201c;junk bonds&#x201d; or &#x201c;high yield&#x201d; securities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

may not be changed without the vote of a majority, as defined in the 1940 Act, of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund
(voting together as a single class). In addition, pursuant to the Fund&#x2019;s Series G Preferred Articles Supplementary, a majority,
as defined in the 1940 Act, of the outstanding preferred shares of the Fund (voting separately as a single class) is also required
to change a fundamental policy. See &#x201c;Investment Restrictions&#x201d; in the SAI and &#x201c;Additional Fund Information&#x2014;Investment
Restrictions&#x201d; in the Annual Report. The Fund may become subject to rating agency guidelines that are more limiting than

Fund may enter into interest rate swap or cap transactions to manage its borrowing costs, as well as to increase income. The use
of interest rate swaps and caps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. In an interest rate swap, the Fund would agree to pay to the other
party to the interest rate swap (which is known as the &#x201c;counterparty&#x201d;) periodically a fixed rate payment in exchange
for the counterparty agreeing to pay to the fund periodically a variable rate payment that is intended to approximate the Fund&#x2019;s
variable rate payment obligation on its borrowings (or the Fund&#x2019;s potential variable payment obligations on fixed rate preferred
shares that may have certain variable rate features). In an interest rate cap, the Fund would pay a premium to the counterparty
to the interest rate cap and, to the extent that a specified variable rate index exceeds a predetermined fixed rate, would receive
from the counterparty payments of the difference based on the notional amount of such cap. Interest rate swap and cap transactions
introduce additional risk because the Fund would remain obligated to pay interest or preferred shares dividends when due even
if the counterparty defaulted. Depending on the general state of short term interest rates and the returns on the Fund&#x2019;s
portfolio securities at that point in time, such a default could negatively affect the Fund&#x2019;s ability to make interest payments
or dividend payments on the preferred shares. In addition, at the time an interest rate swap or cap transaction reaches its scheduled
termination date, there is a risk that the Fund will not be able to obtain a replacement transaction or that the terms of the
replacement will not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. If this occurs, it could have a negative impact on the Fund&#x2019;s
ability to make interest payments or dividend payments on the preferred shares. To the extent there is a decline in interest rates,
the value of the interest rate swap or cap could decline, resulting in a decline in the asset coverage for the borrowings or preferred
shares. A sudden and dramatic decline in interest rates may result in a significant decline in the asset coverage. If the Fund
fails to maintain the required asset coverage on any outstanding borrowings or preferred shares or fails to comply with other
covenants, the Fund may be required to redeem some or all of these shares. Any such prepayment or redemption would likely result
in the Fund seeking to terminate early all or a portion of any swap or cap transactions. Early termination of a swap could result
in a termination payment by the Fund to the counterparty, while early termination of a cap could result in a termination payment
to the Fund.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.75in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Fund may enter into equity contract for difference swap transactions, for the purpose of increasing the income of the Fund. In
an equity contract for difference swap, a set of future cash flows is exchanged between two counterparties. One of these cash
flow streams will typically be based on a reference interest rate combined with the performance of a notional value of shares
of a stock. The other will be based on the performance of the shares of a stock. Depending on the general state of short term
interest rates and the returns on the Fund&#x2019;s portfolio securities at the time a swap transaction reaches its scheduled termination
date, there is a risk that the Fund will not be able to obtain a replacement transaction or that the terms of the replacement
will not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Fund will usually enter into swaps or caps on a net basis; that is, the two payment streams will be netted out in a cash settlement
on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net
amount of the two payments. The Fund intends to segregate or earmark cash or liquid assets having a value at least equal to the
value of the Fund&#x2019;s net payment obligations under any swap transaction, marked to market daily. The Fund will monitor any
such swap with a view to ensuring that the Fund remains in compliance with all applicable regulatory, investment policy and tax
requirements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

the Fund writes (sells) a credit default swap or credit default index swap, then the Fund will, during the term of the swap agreement,

The common shares
of the Fund are listed on the NYSE under the symbol &#x201c;GCV&#x201d; and began trading March&#160;31, 1995. The Fund&#x2019;s
common shares have historically traded at a discount to the Fund&#x2019;s net asset value. Since the Fund commenced trading on
the NYSE, the Fund&#x2019;s common shares have traded at a maximum discount to net asset value of (32.4)% and a maximum premium
of 33.9%. The average weekly trading volume of the common shares on the NYSE during the period from January&#160;1, 2023 through
September 30, 2023 was 116,956 shares. Though the Fund expects to pay distributions quarterly on the common shares, it is not
obligated to do so. Each share within a particular class or series thereof has equal voting, dividend, distribution and liquidation
rights. All shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the applicable offering, will be fully paid and&#160;non-assessable.&#160;The
common shares are not redeemable and have no preemptive, conversion or cumulative voting rights.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

of shares require approval by the Fund&#x2019;s Board of Directors. Any additional offerings of shares will require approval by
the Fund&#x2019;s Board. Any additional offering of common shares will be subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, which provides
that common shares may not be issued at a price below the then current net asset value, exclusive of sales load, except in connection
with an offering to existing holders of common shares or with the consent of a majority of the Fund&#x2019;s outstanding common
shareholders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

of&#160;closed-end&#160;investment companies often trade on an exchange at prices lower than net asset value. Because the market
value of the common shares may be influenced by such factors as dividend and distribution levels (which are in turn affected by
expenses), dividend and distribution stability, net asset value, market liquidity, relative demand for and supply of such shares
in the market, unrealized gains, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, the
Fund cannot assure you that common shares will trade at a price equal to or higher than net asset value in the future. The common
shares are designed primarily for long term investors and you should not purchase the common shares if you intend to sell them
soon after purchase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Fund is a diversified,&#160;closed-end&#160;management investment company and as such its shareholders do not, and will not, have
the right to require the Fund to repurchase their shares. The Fund, however, may repurchase its common shares from time to time
as and when it deems such a repurchase advisable, subject to maintaining required asset coverage for each series of outstanding
preferred shares. The Board has authorized such repurchases to be made when the Fund&#x2019;s common shares are trading at a discount
from net asset value of 10% or more (or such other percentage as the Board of the Fund may determine from time to time). Pursuant
to the 1940 Act, the Fund may repurchase its common shares on a securities exchange (provided that the Fund has informed its shareholders
within the preceding six months of its intention to repurchase such shares) or pursuant to tenders and may also repurchase shares
privately if the Fund meets certain conditions regarding, among other things, distribution of net income for the preceding fiscal
year, status of the seller, price paid, brokerage commissions, prior notice to shareholders of an intention to purchase shares
and purchasing in a manner and on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly against the other shareholders through their interest
in the Fund.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

the Fund repurchases its common shares for a price below net asset value, the net asset value of the common shares that remain
outstanding will be enhanced, but this does not necessarily mean that the market price of the outstanding common shares will be
affected, either positively or negatively. The repurchase of common shares will reduce the total assets of the Fund available
for investment and may increase the Fund&#x2019;s expense ratio. During the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023 and the year
ended December&#160;31, 2022, the Fund did not repurchase and retire any shares in the open market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

the Fund&#x2019;s Charter, the Board of Directors has the authority to classify or reclassify the Fund&#x2019;s 1,000,000,000 authorized

thereof, and are payable quarterly on March&#160;26, June&#160;26, September&#160;26 and December&#160;26 of each year. The Series
G Preferred is subject to mandatory redemption by the Fund on June 26, 2025, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund.
The Series G Preferred was issued in a private placement and is not listed on any exchange.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

a liquidation, each holder of the preferred shares will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Fund available for distribution
to shareholders (after payment of claims of the Fund&#x2019;s creditors but before any distributions with respect to the Fund&#x2019;s
common shares or any other shares of the Fund ranking junior to the preferred shares as to liquidation payments) an amount per
share equal to such share&#x2019;s liquidation preference plus any accumulated but unpaid distributions (whether or not earned
or declared, excluding interest thereon) to the date of distribution, and such shareholders shall be entitled to no further participation
in any distribution or payment in connection with such liquidation. Each series of the preferred shares will rank on a parity
with any other series of preferred shares of the Fund as to the payment of distributions and the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
and will be junior to the Fund&#x2019;s obligations with respect to any outstanding senior securities representing debt. The preferred
shares carry one vote per share on all matters on which such shares are entitled to vote. The preferred shares will, upon issuance,
be fully paid and nonassessable and will have no preemptive, exchange or conversion rights. The Board may by resolution classify
or reclassify any authorized but unissued capital shares of the Fund from time to time by setting or changing the preferences,
conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions or terms or conditions of redemption.
The Fund will not issue any class of shares senior to the preferred shares.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Purchase and Sale of Preferred Shares&#160;by the Fund.&lt;/i&gt;&#160;The terms of any preferred shares are expected to provide that
(i)&#160;they are redeemable by the Fund at any time (either after the date of initial issuance, or after some period of time
following initial issuance) in whole or in part at the original purchase price per share plus accumulated dividends per share,
(ii)&#160;the Fund may tender for or purchase preferred shares and (iii)&#160;the Fund may subsequently resell any shares so tendered
for or purchased. Any redemption or purchase of preferred shares by the Fund will reduce the leverage applicable to the common
shares, while any resale of preferred shares by the Fund will increase that leverage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Agency Guidelines.&#160;&lt;/i&gt;The Series G Preferred Shares are not rated by any rating agency. Upon issuance, any new publicly
issued series of preferred shares may be rated by Moody&#x2019;s or Fitch, in which case the following description of rating agency
guidelines would become applicable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.75in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Fund expects that it would be required under any applicable rating agency guidelines to maintain assets having in the aggregate
a discounted value at least equal to the Basic Maintenance Amount (as defined in the applicable organizational documents for each
series of preferred shares) for its outstanding preferred shares with respect to the separate guidelines Moody&#x2019;s and Fitch
has each established for determining discounted value. To the extent any particular portfolio holding does not satisfy the applicable
rating agency&#x2019;s guidelines, all or a portion of such holding&#x2019;s value will not be included in the calculation of discounted
value (as defined by such rating agency). The Moody&#x2019;s and Fitch guidelines would also impose certain diversification requirements
and industry concentration limitations on the Fund&#x2019;s overall portfolio, and apply specified discounts to securities held
by the Fund (except certain money market securities). The &#x201c;Basic Maintenance Amount&#x201d; is calculated as set out in the
organizational documents for each series of preferred shares.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.75in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&#x201c;Basic Maintenance Amount&#x201d; is generally equal to (a)&#160;the sum of (i)&#160;the aggregate liquidation preference
of any preferred shares then outstanding plus (to the extent not included in the liquidation preference of such preferred shares)
an amount equal to the aggregate accumulated but unpaid distributions (whether or not earned or declared) in respect of such preferred
shares, (ii)&#160;the Fund&#x2019;s other liabilities (excluding dividends and other distributions payable on the Fund&#x2019;s
common shares) and (iii)&#160;any other current liabilities of the Fund (including amounts due and payable by the Fund pursuant
to reverse repurchase agreements and payables for assets purchased) less (b)&#160;the value of the Fund&#x2019;s assets if such
assets are either cash or evidences of indebtedness which mature prior to or on the date of redemption or repurchase of preferred
shares or payment of another liability and are either U.S. government securities or evidences of indebtedness rated at least &#x201c;Aaa,&#x201d;&#160;&#x201c;P-1&#x201d;,&#160;&#x201c;VMIG-1&#x201d;&#160;or&#160;&#x201c;MIG-1&#x201d;&#160;by

the Fund does not cure in a timely manner a failure to maintain a discounted value of its portfolio equal to the Basic Maintenance
Amount in accordance with the requirements of any applicable rating agency or agencies then rating the preferred shares at the
request of the Fund, the Fund may, and in certain circumstances would be required to, mandatorily redeem preferred shares.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Fund may, but would not be required to, adopt any modifications to the rating agency guidelines that may be established by Moody&#x2019;s
and Fitch (or such other rating agency then rating the preferred shares at the request of the Fund) following the issuance of
any such rated preferred shares. Failure to adopt any such modifications, however, may result in a change in the relevant rating
agency&#x2019;s ratings or a withdrawal of such ratings altogether. In addition, any rating agency providing a rating for the preferred
shares at the request of the Fund may, at any time, change or withdraw any such rating. The Board, without further action by shareholders,
would be expected to be able to amend, alter, add to or repeal any provision of a Articles Supplementary adopted pursuant to rating
agency guidelines if the Board determines that such amendments or modifications are necessary to prevent a reduction in, or the
withdrawal of, a rating of the preferred shares and are in the aggregate in the best interests of the holders of the preferred
shares. Additionally, the Board, without further action by the shareholders, would be expected to be able to amend, alter, add
to or repeal any provision of any Articles Supplementary adopted pursuant to rating agency guidelines if the Board determines
that such amendments or modifications will not in the aggregate adversely affect the rights and preferences of the holders of
any series of the preferred shares, provided that the Fund has received advice from each applicable rating agency that such amendment
or modification is not expected to adversely affect such rating agency&#x2019;s then-current rating of such series of the Fund&#x2019;s
preferred shares.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

described by Moody&#x2019;s and Fitch, any ratings assigned to the preferred shares are assessments of the capacity and willingness
of the Fund to pay the obligations of each series of the preferred shares. Any ratings on the preferred shares are not recommendations
to purchase, hold or sell shares of any series, inasmuch as the ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a
particular investor. The rating agency guidelines also do not address the likelihood that an owner of preferred shares will be
able to sell such shares on an exchange, in an auction or otherwise. Any ratings would be based on current information furnished
to Moody&#x2019;s and Fitch by the Fund and the Investment Adviser and information obtained from other sources. Any ratings may
be changed, suspended or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or the unavailability of, such information.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

rating agency guidelines would apply to the preferred shares, as the case may be, only so long as such rating agency is rating
such shares at the request of the Fund. The Fund expects that it would pay fees to Moody&#x2019;s and Fitch for rating any preferred
shares.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.75in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Maintenance Requirements.&lt;/i&gt;&#160;In addition to the requirements summarized under &#x201c;&#x2014;Rating Agency Guidelines&#x201d;
above, the Fund must also satisfy asset maintenance requirements under the 1940 Act with respect to its preferred shares. Under
the 1940 Act, such debt or additional preferred shares may be issued only if immediately after such issuance the value of the
Fund&#x2019;s total assets (less ordinary course liabilities) is at least 300% of the amount of any debt outstanding and at least
200% of the amount of any preferred shares and debt outstanding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.75in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Fund is and likely will be required under the Articles Supplementary of each series of preferred shares to determine whether it
has, as of the last business day of each March, June, September and December of each year, an &#x201c;asset coverage&#x201d; (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of at least 200% (or such higher or lower percentage as may be required at the time under the 1940 Act)
with respect to all outstanding senior securities of the Fund that are debt or stock, including any outstanding preferred shares.
If the Fund fails to maintain the asset coverage required under the 1940 Act on such dates and such failure is not cured by a
specific time (generally within 60 calendar days or 49 calendar days), the Fund may, and in certain circumstances will be required
to, mandatorily redeem preferred shares sufficient to satisfy such asset coverage. See &#x201c;&#x2014;Redemption Procedures&#x201d;

of any preferred shares are or will be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the Board and declared by the Fund,
out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative cash distributions, at an annual rate set forth in the applicable Articles
Supplementary or Prospectus Supplement, payable with such frequency as set forth in the applicable Articles Supplementary or Prospectus
Supplement. Such distributions will accumulate from the date on which such shares are issued.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

may not pay any dividend or distribution (other than a dividend or distribution paid in common shares or in options, warrants
or rights to subscribe for or purchase common shares) in respect of the common shares or call for redemption, redeem, purchase

number of preferred shares so that the Fund&#x2019;s discounted portfolio value (as determined in accordance with the applicable
rating agency guidelines) after redemption exceeds the asset coverage requirements of each applicable rating agency by up to 10%

from which shares will be redeemed and the amount of preferred shares to be redeemed from each such series. If fewer than all
preferred shares of a series are to be redeemed, such redemption will be made as among the holders of that series pro rata in

Redemption.&lt;/i&gt;&#160;Preferred shares are not subject to optional redemption by the Fund until the date, if any, specified in

shares in whole or in part for cash at a redemption price per share equal to the initial liquidation preference per share plus
accumulated and unpaid distributions (whether or not earned or declared) to the redemption date plus any premium specified in

as a percentage of such shares outstanding), (iii) the CUSIP number(s) of such shares, (iv)&#160;the redemption price (specifying

connection with the election of the Fund&#x2019;s Directors, holders of the outstanding preferred shares, voting together as a
single class, will be entitled to elect two of the Fund&#x2019;s Directors, and the remaining Directors will be elected by holders
of common shares and holders of preferred shares, voting together as a single class. In addition, if (i)&#160;at any time dividends
and distributions on outstanding preferred shares are unpaid in an amount equal to at least two full years&#x2019; dividends and
distributions thereon and sufficient cash or specified securities have not been deposited with the applicable paying agent for
the payment of such accumulated dividends and distributions or (ii)&#160;at any time holders of any other series of preferred
shares are entitled to elect a majority of the Directors of the Fund under the 1940 Act or the applicable Articles Supplementary
creating such shares, then the number of Directors constituting the Board automatically will be increased by the smallest number
that, when added to the two Directors elected exclusively by the holders of preferred shares as described above, would then constitute
a simple majority of the Board as so increased by such smallest number. Such additional Directors will be elected by the holders
of the outstanding preferred shares, voting together as a single class, at a special meeting of shareholders which will be called
as soon as practicable and will be held not less than ten nor more than twenty days after the mailing date of the meeting notice.
If the Fund fails to send such meeting notice or to call such a special meeting, the meeting may be called by any preferred shareholder
on like notice. The terms of office of the persons who are Directors at the time of that election will continue. If the Fund thereafter
pays, or declares and sets apart for payment in full, all dividends and distributions payable on all outstanding preferred shares
for all past dividend periods or the holders of other series of preferred shares are no longer entitled to elect such additional
Directors, the additional voting rights of the holders of the preferred shares as described above will cease, and the terms of
office of all of the additional Directors elected by the holders of the preferred shares (but not of the Directors with respect
to whose election the holders of common shares were entitled to vote or the two Directors the holders of preferred shares have
the right to elect as a separate class in any event) will terminate automatically.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

1940 Act requires that in addition to any approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders
of a majority of any outstanding preferred shares (as defined in the 1940 Act), voting separately as a class, would be required
to (i)&#160;adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the preferred shares, and (ii)&#160;take any action requiring
a vote of security holders under Section&#160;13(a) of the 1940 Act, including, among other things, changes in the Fund&#x2019;s
subclassification as a&#160;closed-end&#160;investment company to an&#160;open-end&#160;company or changes in its fundamental
investment restrictions. As a result of these voting rights, the Fund&#x2019;s ability to take any such actions may be impeded
to the extent that there are any preferred shares outstanding. Additionally, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding preferred shares (as defined in the 1940 Act), voting as a separate class, will be required to amend, alter
or repeal any of the provisions of the Articles Supplementary so as to in the aggregate adversely affect the rights and preferences
set forth in the Articles Supplementary The class vote of holders of preferred shares described above will in each case be in
addition to any other vote required to authorize the action in question.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

objective, policies and restrictions, the Fund may issue and sell shares of one or more other series of additional preferred shares

of such proceeds), have an &#x201c;asset coverage&#x201d; for all senior securities of the Fund which are stock, as defined in the
1940 Act, of at least 200% of the sum of the liquidation preference of the preferred shares of the Fund then outstanding and all

connection with the election of the Fund&#x2019;s Directors, holders of the outstanding preferred shares, voting together as a
single class, will be entitled to elect two of the Fund&#x2019;s Directors, and the remaining Directors will be elected by holders
of common shares and holders of preferred shares, voting together as a single class. In addition, if (i)&#160;at any time dividends
and distributions on outstanding preferred shares are unpaid in an amount equal to at least two full years&#x2019; dividends and
distributions thereon and sufficient cash or specified securities have not been deposited with the applicable paying agent for
the payment of such accumulated dividends and distributions or (ii)&#160;at any time holders of any other series of preferred
shares are entitled to elect a majority of the Directors of the Fund under the 1940 Act or the applicable Articles Supplementary
creating such shares, then the number of Directors constituting the Board automatically will be increased by the smallest number
that, when added to the two Directors elected exclusively by the holders of preferred shares as described above, would then constitute
a simple majority of the Board as so increased by such smallest number. Such additional Directors will be elected by the holders
of the outstanding preferred shares, voting together as a single class, at a special meeting of shareholders which will be called
as soon as practicable and will be held not less than ten nor more than twenty days after the mailing date of the meeting notice.
If the Fund fails to send such meeting notice or to call such a special meeting, the meeting may be called by any preferred shareholder
on like notice. The terms of office of the persons who are Directors at the time of that election will continue. If the Fund thereafter
pays, or declares and sets apart for payment in full, all dividends and distributions payable on all outstanding preferred shares
for all past dividend periods or the holders of other series of preferred shares are no longer entitled to elect such additional
Directors, the additional voting rights of the holders of the preferred shares as described above will cease, and the terms of
office of all of the additional Directors elected by the holders of the preferred shares (but not of the Directors with respect
to whose election the holders of common shares were entitled to vote or the two Directors the holders of preferred shares have
the right to elect as a separate class in any event) will terminate automatically.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

1940 Act requires that in addition to any approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders
of a majority of any outstanding preferred shares (as defined in the 1940 Act), voting separately as a class, would be required
to (i)&#160;adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the preferred shares, and (ii)&#160;take any action requiring
a vote of security holders under Section&#160;13(a) of the 1940 Act, including, among other things, changes in the Fund&#x2019;s
subclassification as a&#160;closed-end&#160;investment company to an&#160;open-end&#160;company or changes in its fundamental
investment restrictions. As a result of these voting rights, the Fund&#x2019;s ability to take any such actions may be impeded
to the extent that there are any preferred shares outstanding. Additionally, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding preferred shares (as defined in the 1940 Act), voting as a separate class, will be required to amend, alter
or repeal any of the provisions of the Articles Supplementary so as to in the aggregate adversely affect the rights and preferences
set forth in the Articles Supplementary The class vote of holders of preferred shares described above will in each case be in
addition to any other vote required to authorize the action in question.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Prospectus Supplement will describe the interest payment provisions relating to notes. Interest on notes will be payable when
due as described in the related Prospectus Supplement. If we do not pay interest when due, it will trigger an event of default
and we will be restricted from declaring dividends and making other distributions with respect to our common shares and preferred
shares.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.75in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Under the requirements of the 1940 Act, immediately after issuing any notes the value of our total assets, less certain ordinary
course liabilities, must equal or exceed 300% of the amount of the notes outstanding. Other types of borrowings also may result
in our being subject to similar covenants in credit agreements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.75in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.75in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"&gt;Additionally,
the 1940 Act requires that we prohibit the declaration of any dividend or distribution (other than a dividend or distribution
paid in Fund common or preferred shares or in options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase Fund common or preferred
shares) in respect of Fund common or preferred shares, or call for redemption, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any such fund common or preferred shares, unless the Fund&#x2019;s notes have asset coverage of at least 300% (200% in the case
of a dividend or distribution on preferred shares) after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution, or acquisition price,
as the case may be. These 1940 Act requirements do not apply to any promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness issued in
consideration of any loan, extension, or renewal thereof, made by a bank or other person and privately arranged, and not intended
to be publicly distributed; however, any such borrowings may result in our being subject to similar covenants in credit agreements.
Moreover, the Indenture related to the notes could contain provisions more restrictive than those required by the 1940 Act, and
any such provisions would be described in the related Prospectus Supplement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

the occurrence and continuance of an event of default, the holders of a majority in principal amount of a series of outstanding
notes or the trustee will be able to declare the principal amount of that series of notes immediately due and payable upon written
notice to us. A default that relates only to one series of notes does not affect any other series and the holders of such other
series of notes will not be entitled to receive notice of such a default under the Indenture. Upon an event of default relating
to bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws, acceleration of maturity will occur automatically with respect to all series.
At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to a series of notes has been made, and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of that
series, by written notice to us and the trustee, may rescind and annul the declaration of acceleration and its consequences if
all events of default with respect to that series of notes, other than the&#160;non-payment&#160;of the principal of that series
of notes which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived and other conditions have
been met.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

(b)&#160;any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of us, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving

the holders of notes shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all
notes (including any interest accruing thereon after the commencement of any such case or proceeding), or provision shall be made
for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of the notes, before the holders
of any of our common or preferred shares are entitled to receive any payment on account of any redemption proceeds, liquidation
preference or dividends from such shares. The holders of notes shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof,
any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution
which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of ours being subordinated to the payment
of the notes, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the notes in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation

Rights&lt;/i&gt;. The notes have no voting rights, except as mentioned below and to the extent required by law or as otherwise provided
in the Indenture relating to the acceleration of maturity upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default. In connection
with the notes or certain other borrowings (if any), the 1940 Act does in certain circumstances grant to the note holders or lenders
certain voting rights. The 1940 Act requires that provision is made either (i)&#160;that, if on the last business day of each
of twelve consecutive calendar months such notes shall have an asset coverage of less than 100%, the holders of such notes voting
as a class shall be entitled to elect at least a majority of the members of the Fund&#x2019;s Directors, such voting right to continue
until such notes shall have an asset coverage of 110% or more on the last business day of each of three consecutive calendar months,
or (ii)&#160;that, if on the last business day of each of twenty-four consecutive calendar months such notes shall have an asset
coverage of less than 100%, an event of default shall be deemed to have occurred. It is expected that, unless otherwise stated
in the related Prospectus Supplement, provision will be made that, if on the last business day of each of twenty-four consecutive
calendar months such notes shall have an asset coverage of less than 100%, an event of default shall be deemed to have occurred.
These 1940 Act requirements do not apply to any promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness issued in consideration of any
loan, extension, or renewal thereof, made by a bank or other person and privately arranged, and not intended to be publicly distributed;
however, any such borrowings may result in our being subject to similar covenants in credit agreements. As reflected above, the
Indenture relating to the notes may also grant to the note holders voting rights relating to the acceleration of maturity upon
the occurrence and continuance of an event of default, and any such rights would be described in the related Prospectus Supplement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Our notes are not likely to be listed on an exchange or automated quotation system. The details on how to buy and sell such notes,
along with the other terms of the notes, will be described in a Prospectus Supplement. We cannot assure you that any market will

Rights to Purchase Common and Preferred Shares.&lt;/i&gt;&#160;The Fund may issue subscription rights which would entitle holders to
purchase both common and preferred shares in a ratio to be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. In accordance with
the 1940 Act, at least three rights would be required to subscribe for one common share. It is expected that rights to purchase
both common and preferred shares would require holders to purchase an equal number of common and preferred shares, and would not
permit holders to purchase an unequal number of common or preferred shares, or purchase only common shares or only preferred shares.
For example, such an offering might be structured such that three rights would entitle an investor to purchase one common share
and one preferred share, and such investor would not be able to choose to purchase only a common share or only a preferred share
upon the exercise of his, her or its rights.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.75in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

common shares and preferred shares issued pursuant to the exercise of any such rights, however, would at all times be separately
tradeable securities. Such common and preferred shares would not be issued as a &#x201c;unit&#x201d; or &#x201c;combination&#x201d;
and would not be listed or traded as a &#x201c;unit&#x201d; or &#x201c;combination&#x201d; on a securities exchange, such as the NYSE,
at any time. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will set forth additional details regarding an offering of subscription rights
to purchase common and preferred shares.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
