*****IMPORTANT UPDATE*****   PROXY ADVISOR GLASS LEWIS, ONE OF THE LARGEST PROXY ADVISORS IN THE WORLD, RECOMMENDS THAT ITS CLIENTS VOTE “FOR” ALL PROPOSALS. IN ITS ANALYSIS, GLASS LEWIS FINDS THE PROPOSALS RELATING TO THE NEW ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS “TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF SHAREHOLDERS” ADDING THAT SHAREHOLDERS “SHOULD DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM THE SERVICES AND DUTIES” OF THE ADVISER AND SUB-ADVISER.
