The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this
19(a) Notice are only estimates and not for tax reporting purposes.
The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting
purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during
the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes
based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV
for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these
distributions for federal income tax purposes. The Fund estimates
that it has distributed more than its income and net realized
capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a
return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when
some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back
to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily
reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be
confused with 'yield' or 'income.'
Presented below are return figures, based on the change in the
Fund's Net Asset Value per share ("NAV"), compared to the
annualized distribution rate for this current distribution as a
percentage of the NAV on the last business day of the month prior
to distribution record date.

^ Based on the Fund's NAV as of November 30, 2022.
+Cumulative distribution rate is based on
distributions paid to date for the period November 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.
*Cumulative fiscal year-to-date return is based on the change
in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of
these distributions and that all rights in the Fund's rights
offering were exercised, for the period November 1, 2022 through November 30, 2022.
**The 5 year average annual total return is based on change
in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of
these distributions and that all rights in the Fund's rights
offering were exercised, as of the last business day of the month
prior to the month of the current distribution record date.
While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's
investment performance, it does not measure the value of a
shareholder's investment in the Fund. The value of a
shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's
market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the
Fund's shares in the open market.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the
Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution
or from the terms of the Fund's Managed Distribution
Plan.
Furthermore, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any
potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital
available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the
Fund's distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund's net
asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund's
distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of
Trustees at any time. The distribution rate should not be
considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in
the Fund.
