| Supplemental Dividend for Series A, B and C ATP
|
The Fund's Board of Directors determined that it would be appropriate to adjust the dividends payable to holders of each of the Fund's Series A, B and C Auction Term Preferred Stock (ATP) for each dividend period falling within the timeframe identified in the chart below for that series (the "Supplemental Dividend Period") using a formula more favorable than the one applied during those dividend periods. (This more favorable formula is referred to in the Fund's charter documents as the "Maximum Applicable Rate" and is equal to 150% of the 30-day AA composite commercial paper rate during the dividend period.) Accordingly, the Directors approved a supplemental dividend for each holder of Series A, B or C ATP that represents the difference between the amount actually paid as dividends during the Supplemental Dividend Period for that series and the amount that would have been paid as dividends had the Maximum Applicable Rate been used in calculating the dividends during that series' Supplemental Dividend Period, plus interest on that amount. The aggregate supplemental dividend for all three series was $413,399.57, which was distributed on December 27, 2010. The Maximum Applicable Rate has been used to determine the amount of all dividends payable on each series since the end of its Supplemental Dividend Period.
