Dear Valued Stockholder:

We need your help. Recently we sent you proxy materials seeking a vote on a proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the election of a Director of the Fund. Our records indicate that you are a record date stockholder and your vote has not yet been received. Please assist us by casting your proxy vote today.

It is critical that your proxy vote be received before the Special Meeting of Stockholder scheduled for June 7, 2011. With this year’s proxy agenda including a vote on the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement, the business of the Fund is dependent on the proxy votes. Additional solicitation efforts are costly and could further delay the business of the Fund.

Enclosed you will find another copy of your proxy ballot. If you have cast your proxy vote since this letter was mailed, we thank you sincerely for your participation. If you have not yet cast your vote, please do so today. You may feel that you do not own enough shares to make a difference, but the Fund has thousands of other investors just like you. Therefore, every vote registered is extremely important to the outcome.

If you need another copy of the proxy statement or have any proxy-related questions, please call 1-877-478-5039 for assistance. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Sincerely,

Peter Hooper
