Distribution Information
Year-End Distribution Press Release
*The annual distribution rate is the total dividends and capital gain distributions per share divided by the average month-end market price of the Fund’s Common Stock. For the years prior to 2011, the average month-end market price is determined for the calendar year. For 2011 and later, the average month-end market price is determined for the twelve months ended October 31, which is consistent with the calculation used for the annual 6% minimum distribution rate commitment adopted in September 2012.
