ITEM 4. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION.

     (a) The Fund’s Board of Directors has determined to commence an offer to purchase up to 5%, or 496,792 Shares of the Fund’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. The offer is for cash at a price equal to the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) as of the close of ordinary trading on the New York Stock Exchange on June 29, 2009, or such later date after which the offer is extended, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the enclosed Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the “Offer”).

     A copy of the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(i) and Exhibit (a)(1)(ii), respectively, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. For more information on the type and amount of consideration offered to shareholders, the scheduled expiration date, extending the Offer and the Fund’s intentions in the event of oversubscription, see Section 1, “Price; Number of Shares; Service Fee” and Section 15, “Extension of Tender Period; Termination; Amendments” of the Offer to Purchase.
