Pursuant to the Offer, the Fund issued one transferable right (a “Right”) for each share of common stock of the Fund to shareholders of record (record date shareholders) as of September 19, 2014.

Preliminary results indicate that the Fund received total subscriptions of approximately $214 million (including over-subscription requests and notices of guaranteed delivery) for 136% of the 27,405,612 shares available to be issued pursuant to the primary subscription.
